saws he can't understand why it is
that his hog pen over at the Pennell
premises near the gas works should
be declared nuisance by the grand
iury and other folks hogs allowed
to run in the streets. and hog pens
be allowed in the thickly settled
portions of the city. He says if the
authorities had notified him, he
would have removed the hogs and
saved the expense OF an indictment
by the grand jury.

passengers and about 113 tons OF

RETURNED. - Rev. G.. F. Whit
worth and wife returned home last
Friday evening, after an absence OF
four months. They came up on the
Great Republic, and were subjected
to much annoyance and delay by
the grounding of that vessel in the
Willamette river. The many friends
of Mrs. Whitworth will be rejoiced
to learn that her health, which has
been delicate, is much improved
by her visit in California.

Bishop, who took up so acres Of
coal land on Crescent Bay, few
miles below Port Angeles. has sold
out to parties in San Francisco for

HALF-FARE. - Delegates to the
Grand Lodge of Good Templars in
Seattle next month. are to be passed
over the railroads and on the Sound
and the Oregon Steam Navigation
Co.'S steamers at half fare rates.
Has STRUCK IT.-Capt. Chas. F.
Winsor. of this city, has applied for
a patent, the model of which may
be seen at his residence, and to be
appreciated should be seen in oppe-
ration and demonstrated. as he has
had many of the Engineers and
Captains of steamers to examine the
workings of it and all pronounce it
q perfect success. Capt. Winsor
being an old steamboat man has for
the last thirty years been expert
menting on wheels for steamers to
overcome the trembling vibrations
of large as we'll as small steamers,
caused by the paddles or buckets Of
the wheel striking the water hori-
zontally, and too in coming out by
lifting some-practical, as we'll as
scientific engineers demonstrate to a
certainty, that near % per cent. of
power is lost by the old wheel now
In use. This invention of Captain
Winsor saves or gains that and by
the peculiar make and shape Of the
buckets he claims an advantage of
about SO 1-3 per cent. The buckets
strike the water edgeways and come
out of the same in q vertical position
and in fact all the buckets hang
perpendicular. For large ocean
steamers, the Captain thinks his in
yention will be practicable, especial
ly so in a heavy sea. Something
similar to this of Capt. Winsor's in
vention was used by blockade run
ners during the war, but for some
cause they were not success or
they would now be in use. Capt.
Winsor claims his invention to be
a great improvement over them, and
all, of one accord, hopes that the
Captain "has struck it."
DONG A HEAVY BUSINESS
Schwabacher Bros d Co., of this
city, under the general manage
ment of Mr.. Chas. Lipsky, is
