FROM Me Daily Of Monday.
The LRGIsLATURE.- E.-There is some
speculation in regard to the COM
plexion of the Legislative bodies
that will assemble in Olympia to-
day. From the best informa-
ton we have now, it seems they
stand as follows: Council, 5 Repub-
licans and 4 Democrats. House, Is
Republicans, IA Democrats and
Independent. There are four can
didates on the part of the Republi
cans for President of the Council,
with prospects pretty fair for both
T.. NJ Reed and E. c. Ferguson, the
former of Thurston and the latter of
Snohomish counties. For Speaker
of the House we have heard the
names of Miller, of Kitsap, Daniels,
of Clarke. and several other promi-
nent and strong men. Elwood Ev-
ans wants to be Chief Clerk of the
Council. J. Cal. McFadden and a
host Of others want positions of ap-
ment. Time will tell.-Herald.
SPAHs SHIPPED. For some time
past Mr.. Amos Brown has been en-
gagged in getting out a cargo Of spars
at Mud Bay, for the ship Brown
Brothers, loading at Port Madison,
for the eastern market. He has en-
ployed seventeen men in hewing the
spars, and about thirty more men
in the woods>getting them out. The
spars were hauled over Mr.. Browns
railway to the bay where the hewers
dressed them ready for shipment to
the mill. These spars are as fine as
any that have been gotten ont, and
we opine will create a sensation
when they arrive on the Atlantic
coast. Mr.. Brown finished work
on Friday of last week. His log
ging force is still at work, at his
camp two miles above the bay

COMING. - Another opportunity
will be offered our citizens to wit

Wednesday and Thursday evenings,

UTsALADY ESTATE. Gran
ney has been relieved of his liabili-
ties and the title to his property Sc
cured to him and his family. A few
of the preferred creditors have been
paid according to the disbursement
order. The Campbell property is
to be sold at auction. It would be
hard to say how much will be paid
on the dollar out of the assets. The
estate will not pan out as much as
was expected by many, although it
has been we'll managed.
BISHOP OF ATHABAscA. The Bish-
op of Columbia having delegated
the power to the Bishop of Atha-

Coast of the Province. After per-
forming that interesting duty the
visiting Bishop will go to Victoria,
and go home ria San Francisco.
NOTHING is definitely reported
here about the result of the election
in Stevens county, but the Demo-
cratic candidate, Monaghan. was in
Walla Walla, last week, and at that
time said it was thought his oppo-
nent had been elected by about Is
votes. If this proves 20 be the case
the House will stand II Republicans
to Is Democrats. and the Council, S
Republicans to 4 Democrats.

The LEGISLATURE.

The following matters con-
cerning the Legislative Assem-
bly,, now in session at Olympia,
we gather from the Portland Bee:
The House.of the Territorial
Legislature last week stood Re-
publican by two majority, with
Stevens county special election
to hear from; and great was the
rejoicing among the faithful
BOurbons when it was learned
that two Republicans of the
House were postmasters, and
could not serve as Territorial
legislators. This gave each side
an even chance, when the news
arrived at Olympia that the
Democrats had carried Stevens
county. This set the political
pot to boiling with renewed Wig
or; and the Republicans became
seriously alarmed. The two
postmasters were Samuel G..
Ward, of Tumwater, Thurston
county, and Geo. w. Tibbetts, of
Renton, King county. Both of
them had forwarded their resig-
nations six weeks ago, and ex-
pected to have heard of their ac-
ceptance at Washington, but no
answer came. They had counted
they could get out of Office in five
weeks, but they could not. 1t
takes two or three months to re-
sign a postofice, as a successor
has to be appointed and give
bonds before q resignation can
be accepted.
The situation was now crit
ical in the extreme, and our post
masters become desperate and
abandoned their Offices without an
order from President Hayes. Word
was Immediately scent to Postal
Agent Steele, and he hastened to
the Territory to look af .er the mat
ter. He found the late public off
cials reveling in the unrestrained
liberty of American citizens, and
enjoying the well earned honor of
members of the House. The loose
postoffices were gathered up and
turned over to the sureiies of the
respective postmasters, and the de-
paitment notified of the state of af-
fairs. That public interests might
not suffer, with the consent of the
sureties, temporary postmasters
were appointed, aid the right of
Ward and Tibbetts to sit in the Leg
islature cannot be questioned. The
realization of this last situation, SO
acceptable to the Republicans, was
followed by the receipt of the news
that Mr.. Percival, Republican, had
been elected from Stevens county
by IA majority. giving the Repub-
licans a margin of three for organ
izing the House.
AN addition is being made to
the wharf of Marshall 4 Knipe. to
make room for the erection of an
other building, to be used as black
smith shop.
THE contractors for the Odd Eel
lows Hall are hard at work again

THE new mill at Port Ludlow is
nearly completed. The mill at that
place is running on full time.
From the Daily Of Tuesday.
SETTLING Up.-The Board of
Directors of the King County
Industrial Association were in
session to-day in Justice Scott's
Office, auditing bills and settling
up the accounts of the late exhi-
bition of the association. The
report of the secretary showed
the following receipts from the
exhibition From articles en-
tered for competition, $11.3O;
admission, for Wednesday, in
cluding receipts for the evening,
S16.75; Thursday, 1925; Fri
day, $500; Saturday, S77.5O.
Total receipts from all sources
at Yesler's Hall, S219.SO. The
receipts at the race-track were:
For animals entered for compe
tition, $500; for admission, $3.50.
In addition to the amounts from
all Of these sources, there are on
hand S246.25 from shares of
stock sold. The amount on hand
out of which to pay the expenses
of the association is S473.55.
The amount of the outstanding
accounts is not known, but it is
thought to be considerable less
than this. The entire expense
of the race-track portion Of the
exhibition is about 500. On
the whole the directors are very
well pleased with the results of
this the first annual exhibition
of the King County Industrial
Association.
SNOHOMIsH HOPs.-There are at
present three hop growers on the
Snohomish and its tributaries,
Messrs. Short, McClurg and Ent-
whistle, whose ranches will furnish
over ten tons of hops for the mar
ket. These gentlemen have spared
neither time nor means in preparing
dry houses and all the fixtures ne
cessary to the picking. drying and
baling of their crops. We are sure
that the Snohomish hops will reach
the market in as good condition as
any from the Sourd-Star.
In the case of F. M. Guy VS.. D.
R. Campbell, on trial by jury in
Justice Scott's Court yesterday, a
verdict in favor of defendant was
rendered. A suit was brought
to recover the value of a work
OK belonging to Guy which was al
legged to have been shot and killed
by Campbell.
THERE are already 200 cases of
canned salmon from the cannery of
Jackson. Myers & Co., at the ware
house, awaiting shipment on the
Dakota. Doubtless this number
will be '"--e,y increased before the
steamer is ready to return to San
Francisco.
The ball announced to be given
at Yesler's Hall last evening was an
enthusiastic failure. Must have
been at least half q dozen persons
in attendance. The failure was prob
ably caused by the inclement wealth
er of last evening.
THIS morning Julius Horton came
in from his fam on the Duwamish
