came in here on Thursday night with =
poultryfed and bovine story about q
great contract that James M. Colman
had just taken on the Seattle and Wslla
Walla Railroad. He was to build forty
miles within six months, and iron it as
well. for which purpose Bailey Gatzsrt
had subscribed $4,000, Sig. Schws-
bscher as much more. and ii. L. Yesler
10000 making a total Of $4,000.
which would not more than pay for
grading half that distance. to say moth
ing Of trestllng, surfacing, laying ties,
and putting down track. We thought
we would investigate little, and wait
ed . while. Yesterday We had con-
versation with Mr.. Gatzert. in which he
denied the whole story. No such sub
scriptions have been made, and no such
contracts let. Mr.. Gatxcrt will put in
as much money az "the next man" who
owns property here to be benefited by
the road.

road to deliver ten thousand tons OF
coal per month at Oakland for locomo-
tive purposes. The ferxyboats use Aus

THE OVERFLOW Meeting Samuel
Calhoun. the largest grain farmer and
retainer of tide lands on the Swiao-
mish flats, yesterday. we inquired how
the high tides had affected his pro-
perty and were pleased to learn that
he had suffered less than many of bis
neighbors. Two of his dams gave way,
last week. but were speedily repaired
by getting all the unemployed men he
could find. and making quick work Of
it. He ascribes the cause of the trouble
to the presence of muskrats. which bur-
row through the dams below the usual
water. line, thus creating weak spots,
that speedily become enlarged by the
force Of the current. SO far, he has
sustained no damage from the tides.

the fresh water which comes down
the sloughs, and not by the force of
the sea waves. Trapping and shooting
muskrsts will be a regular winters job

little pests.

VINO KILLED HAGENsENg-It will be
borne in mind that early in October
last Swede named Ole Hagensen was
murdered near this city. the supposed
cause Of the crime being the possession
OF sum of money he carried about
him. A reward of $1,000 was offered
for the apprehension Of the murderers;
but failed to elicit any light upon the
cause of his death. A few days later.
it was reported that the body Of an un-
known man was found on White River.
with certain evidences that he had been
murdered; but his name and the cause
of his death. still remains a profound
mystery. Now there are confined in
the Jail two notorious thieves whose
guilt Of larceny 10 beyond doubt and
their convection an absolute certainty.
Would it not be well for the Grand Ju-

a very close examination. with view
Of ascertaining whether they are inno-
cent of the death Of the unfortunate
Swede, or that Of the nameless stranger
who now sleeps in an unmarked gravel

been about Seattle for some time, it
might be we'll enough to give this mat

this summer. Besides their own yc...l.
the Dashlng Wave. Samose, and Sl,ir-
ley either Of which can carry $50 COO
feet Of lumber.-thsy have contracted
to load four vessels on foreign charters
in the next six weeks. The first of
these is the Chilian ship Herman. orr.
ginally the American ship Uncle Toby:
she is one of the largest vessels ever
loaded in Puget Sound. and was towed
mp there by the Goliah last Tuesday
night. Following her will come the
big ship Blue Jacket, formerly in the
Bellinghsm Bay Coal Cos line, owned
by D. o. Mills and P. B. Cornwall
Next after her is the Mathilde. now on
the way up from San Francisco; she
has frequently loaded at Burrard Inlet,
but this is her first trip to the Sound.
The fourth vessel in the quartette i,
the Chilean ship Martha. formerly the
Nicsraguan ship Terraciua and origin
ally the Rather This ship is about
twenty-five years old and was wrecked
of Currituck, Va when but three years
launched. She was got off and has
since proven herself a good one to 90,
She is now in San Francisco, discharg-
ing cargo of sugar after the unprece-
dentsd run Of 80 days from Callso.
These four foreign charters alone
will take .ou. at least five million
feet of lumber for Tacoma during
he present season We do not
grudged this prosperity to Hanson,
Ackerson & Co, for they have shown
themselves the most enterprising firm
on the Sound The great mills at
Port Gamble and Blakely are Just be-
ginning to ADOPT certain styles Of ma.
chinery which Tacoma had in use more
than year ago. Though not the largest
mills on the Sound. those at Tacoma
are the best worked. to our notion.
