Monday, Febr'y 25. 1878.

A COOP JOB. Probably no work IN
the way of hauling or teamiug has ever
been done in Seattle. since the town
was mud fat, to compare with Hillory
Bu.ler's removal of the locomotive
Georeina from the old coal road to the
track Of the Seattle and Walla Wslla
road, distance If q mile and quarter,
through streets that were IN none Of
the best order. From the old track TO
the corner of Spring street, 1t was
continuous descent and the engine had
TO be lowered carefully upon sectional
tracks, inch by inch, with strong tack
les to check il gradually From Spring
street to Cherry il was dead level and
the sectional track was discarded. the
wheels resting on the ground. Here
four horses were hitched TO the tackle
and the engine rushed along at quick
pece. From Cherry street TO the depot
L IVES . dead pull through the deep
mud and most Of the way up grade.
In our issue Of Thursday. we expressed
the belief that Butler would be doing
veil to get it on the track by Saturday
Geht. We were led TO this belief by
The fact that he was half day ia NOV
ING il from the old depot TO A. A. Den
nv's residence, distance of about $50
Yards. But on Thursday he moved il
over half mile, and on Friday night
he had landed it safe and sound at the
new depot. remarking as he did so.
"Old Virginny never tire" Saturday
the Georgina was coupled together and
placed in complete running order. and
4 better engine of her size was never
built. Her presence on the road will
double the delivery of coal at the wharf
after this; and as soon as ballasting the
rad is ended there will be no difficulty
in bringing 10 Ave hundred tons of coal
per day. There are now four locomo-
tiyss on the road, and when the George
C. Bode is fully repaired and put in
order, there will be five.

MIsrNroRMEp.-The train did mol
Jump the track at the Ettacortney lake
asste ON Thursday last. as stated in
cur issue Of Friday. 1t was on . piece
Of unballasted road between the tres
ties. The road would have been much
batter of with its entire length ballast
q before the shipments of coal CON-
nsnaed, but with five large ships in the
Asrbor and awaiting their turn to load,
tbs company could not delay that long.
fasy we're obliged to send on the coal
y aa - they got it out and let the
usek b ballasted between trains. The
Addition Of the Georgina to their force
o. engines will give them q train for
nothing else but ballesting work, and
sos Superintendent thinks he will DO
sols to have the entire track properly
Hllested and surfaced before the close
ata's week. 1t has probably been the
most difficult piece of narrow gauge road
,of the hnsth of it, ever built on the
Pacific coast.

MOVING. The Indians are begin
ming to move ahead in the matter OF
civilization. Nineteen of them came
over here in two canoes last Saturday
for the purpose of being made citizens
with view of taking up lands under
the Homestead Act. This is what we
have contended for from the first. Give
the Indian . home. and make him stay
there. holding him smenable to the
same laws rs a white man. Abolish
the reservations and Government trad
ing posts, and after while good
Indians will 10 be so hard 10 find.

German Syrup"

No other medicine in the world was
ever given such test of its curative
qualities as Boschee's German Syrup
In three years two million four hundred
thousand small bottles of this medi
cine were distributed free Of charge by
Druggists in this country to those
afflicted with Consumption. Asthma,
Group, severe Coughs, Pneumonia ami
other diseases Of the Throat and Lungs,
giving the American people undeniable
proof that German Syrup will cure
them. The result has been that Drug

United States are recommending il to
their customers. Go to your Druggist,
and ask what they know about it.

CONTRACT PENITESTIARY.-It will

Territory with William Billings, the
Sheriff of Thurston County, for the

their labor. IL was at first thought
that he would build q water-pipe
factory on some stream crossed by the

felt hurt at the idea OF labor in that
business being chespened by competi
ton with convicts. But when it turn
ed out that il was not interfering with
any established business, people began
10 take more kindly to it. According
to the Olympia papers, the new peni-

IMPROVING. Paul Koerner's case il

IMPROVING Paul Koerner's case is
a very fuctuating one. On Friday
night he had hot fever and splitting OF
blood, thus indicating that his chance
ofrecovery was very slim. The following
day. he got up and walked about the
room. Should he meet with no relapse.
he will soon be out again. and then he
should be closely watched. as he has
declared his intention of repeating his
suicidal performances on the first avail
able opportunity.

ton Of affidavits and counter affidavits.
The prosecution conceded that the case OF
McCart was intimately connected with that
of Churchill, and as the latter had been
postponed that of Mozart might go over
with it. 1t was so ordered, and the Court
turned its attention to i~mpanneling a jury
to try Curlee, the next defendant on the
list. In the case of Sprague, it is conceded
and the records show that the Indictment
and plea were not read to the jury, and
that the omission may result in a new trial.
1t is claimed that this error will result not
only in a new trial, but in the discharge OF
the defendant, upon the ground that he
cannot be tried again.
