The UTsALADY SALE.--It must not
be forgotten that on Tuesday, the
9th day of March, the assignee's sale
of the Utsalady property takes place.
AS . milling point, it is a good one,
the harbor being safe and capacious
while its proximity to the splendid
timber of the Stilliguamish and
Skagit rivers, renders its logging
operations the cheapest of any con-
Quoted on the Sound. As q ship
building point, it is the best loca-
ton on the Sound as it has twice
the room enjoyed by Ludlow, our
leading port in that speciality. and
could readily build four such ves-
sells as the Cassandra Adamsat once.
Capital can seek no better invest
ment, if practical millmen are placed
at the head Of operations. Had the
mill been adjusted to work as handi-
ly as those at Ludlow aud Biakely,
there would have been vast differ
ence IN current expenses. The bark
entine Modoc was built there, as
we'll as the steamers j. B. Libby,
Favorite and others. Of course, no
man bred to other pursuits could
expect to realize fortune there, but
any real millman could make it q
bonanza. The steamers J. p. Lib
by and Fanny Lake leave here next
Monday and will carry passengers
to the sale.
NOTABLE DEATH.-Richard Lane,
an attorney Of the Territorial bar
ever since its organization and a re-
sident hereabouts for upwards of
forty years, was recently found dead
in his bed at the Umatilla House. at
the Dalles. He came to Oregon as
clerk for the Hudson's Bay Com
pany in 1886 and has lived about
here ever since. An overdose of
landanum is the supposed cause of
his death. He was a ripe scholar, a
first-class accountant, good con-
veyancer. He read and knew much
law, but too retiring in his nature
for the Court, yet he was of excellent
capacity in Office work. He held
numerous Offices, usually of cleri-
cal character, for all of which he was
singularly competent by training
and habit.
FUNERAL. The steamer Yakima
left here with the remains of Mrs.
A. W. Keller, attended by large
number of friends for Port Gamble.
In sending one of their steamers
specially for this purpose, the Puget
Mill Company paid a handsome
tribute of respect to deserving and
faithful officer, the commander of the
King Phillip, whose bereavement
has called forth the heartfelt SYM
pathy of host of friends.
SAILED. Brig North Star, with a
cargo of Talbot coal, went to sea
yesterday morning in tow of the pro-
peller Favorite. This is probably
the last load of coal that will ever
be loaded from the Talbot bunkers.
Their next vessel will load at the
railroad wharf.
A MURDERER CAUGHT.-We learn
from friend who arrived from
Olympia that the Indian Heo, who
killed the half fbreed Peel, near Bois-
fort last month. was caught in the
Puyallup Valley on Monday last ,by
Sheriff Shorey of Chehalis county
and lodged in the Olympia Jail.
COLLECTION DAY.-Yesterday be-
ing the first of the month, our bus
iness men were flying around in
every direction with bill books and
lver-bags. Our patrons will please
accept our thanks for the prompt
ness with which the moderate de-
mands OF this Office were met.
SCALES. Don't fail to drop in at
Wusthoff & Wald's for few min
utes and look at that new platform
scale just received from Buffalo.
There are no movable weights to
fall on your toes and cripple you for
life. Everything works on the slid
ing scale.
Nor GoNE.-It is by no means
certain that the man Burke, who
took another man 8 eye for ferule
on his cane, went away on the Da-
kota. In fact, the police think they
are on his track and that he is still
secreted IN the Chinese quarter.
CRosswALK.-Carpenters are lay
ing a new sidewalk from Maddocks'
