DEsERrED.-The long array OF

DEsERTED.-The long array oi
idle coal cars, piles of iron fasten-
ings, car wheels, ETC., accumulated
at the old bunkers of the Seattle
Coal Company on Front street, give
the place a particularly quiet and
deserted appearance = unlike the
noisy bustling scene that formerly
greeted the passer-by. One can
form some idea of the immense
amount of capital invested and lab
or performed by the company, by
inspecting the great heaps of we'll
worn rails and bolts and the long
line of idle trestle-work. The boil
er and engines of the Linnie G.
Gray have also been brought in.
We do not know what disposition
the company will make of this old
material. The iron will probably
be sold to the foundries and the
cars broken up.
BAD BoYs.-For some time past
people in the vicinity of the North
school house have been considerably
annoyed by the conduct of crowd
of ruffianly young urchins who make
the day hideous by their vulgar and
noisy actions. These depraved
youngsters amuse themselves by
making obscene writing and pictures
on the sidewalks and fences in the
ne1ghborhood, and in using insult
ing and vulgar language to ladies
and school girls. The young scoun-
drels should be looked after at once,
and if their parents are unable to
restrain them or teach them better
manners, they should be taken in
hand by the police. We suggest to
Marshal Thorndyke that he take
walk up in that direction some after
noon. and gather in a few of the
offenders.
ODD FELLOWS The
celebration Of the 59th anniversary
of Odd Fellowship, which occurs
on the 26th proximo, promises to be
celebrated in becoming manner by
the different Lodges and the En-
campment in this city. A grand
invitation ball and supper is to be
given at Yesler's Hall, and the
names of the gentlemen comprising
the different COMMITTEES give assur-
ance of success. The music for the
occasion will be furnished by Hays
string band, and the price of admis-
sion is fixed at So.
Found AGAIN. The little daugh.
ter of DR.. Lane who lives on Front
street above Pike, wandered from her
home this morning in company with
a playmate, and caused her mother
much uneasiness for time. Search
was instituted Immediately after
discovering her absence. but cou-
pie of hours had elapsed before the
wanderer was found. When discov-
cred the little toddler was playing
near the store OF S. Baxter Il Co.,
and appeared as unconcerned as
though nothing had happened.
SEVERE WINTER. correspond
ent writing from Kittitas Valley
says that in that region they have
never had a winter like this before.
It has been a mixture of rain and
snow and alternate freezing and
thawing. The thermometer has not
indicated colder weather than 20
degrees above zero. Stock has done
we'll on the range without feed. To
be sure animals are not fat
enough for beef. but are considered
by stock men in good condition.
The superintendent of the Sea-
beck mill will erect this spring near
the shipyard at that place a build
ing. 40x160 feet, and put in a planer
suitable for planning the largest and
longest ship timbers and planks in
use. Also, endless saws, or band
saws. that will cut the ships frame,
knees, ETC., at any bevel required.
SHIPPING. = The ship Western
Shore has taken on cargo of 1000
tons of Seattle coal. Her place at
the bunkers will be taken by the
bark J. B. Bell. The Lizzie Will
liams has not yet completed her
load of screenings. The bark Au-
reola, which will also load coal, is
still lying at Marshall's wharf,
awaiting her turn at the bunkers.
POSTMASTER general Key, decided
on the recent application of man
for appointment as postmaster at
cross roads Office in Michigan that
no person who cheated the printer
was proper person to hold the
place. This ruling also applies to
delinquent subscribers for q news
paper.
We learn from persons recently
up from Neah Bay, that considerable
trouble is apprehended concerning
the trade in sealskins with the In
dians at that point. This has been
quite a remunerative industry and
those engaged in it are not likely to
relinquish it without a struggle.
TRADE dollars will soDn be thing
of the past, as their coinage has
| been stonned sinca the nassaoa of
