TELEGRAPH TO CAPE FLATTERY.

On various occasions, particularly
when the periodical breaks have oc'
Cured in the cable connecting the
wires of the Western Union Tele-
graph with wires on the main land
at Victoria, we have called attention
to the advantages to be gained, and
less liability of brsakage to the Vic
toria cable if it could cross the straits
of Fuca from Dungeness or Port
Angeles.
The cause of the frequent breaks
in the present line Of cable, is now
we'll known to be the presence OF
copper in the formation Of the
islands Of the Archipelago de Haro,
and in the channels between these
islands, through which the cable is
laid. These breaks have been regu-
lar at certain periods ever since the
Victoria telegraph was constructed.
There is at present another break
in the cable, and we take the oppor
tunity of again referring to it, and
suggesting that it is for public inter
est, not only to connect Port Ange-
los with Victoria, but To have Il line
extended from Port Townsend to
Cape Flattery.
Within the past two weeks three
wrecks have occurred on the lower
waters OF the Straits, the last one
being the bark Gem of the Ocean,
at Pachina, near Cape Beale, on
vancouvsr's Island. Capt. Hooper,
OF the Wolcott, says that if line
had been established to the Cape, he
could have saved the Washington
Libby, and could have rendered val
liable assistance to the TWO vessels
on the Vancouver shore.
Having demonstrated that with
such relegraphic communication as
is desired many marine losses might
be averted, both among American
and English vessels, may we not as
sert that it is to the interest of ship
masters, owners and underwriters tt
axe some steps in the rattery

DOG MUZZLES

Again in the Tolls.

Some time ago a pathetic appeal
was made to Judge Ray, in the Grim
inal Court, in behalf of one Ed Crute,
a North Alabama young man of
thievish propensities, but respectable
connections. Crute and a coadjutor
swindled Main street clothing dealers
and others by means of forged orders,
and sympathy for his maternal and
other relatives succeeded in get
ting him off free of punishment.
Crute failed to show that respect
for his kindred that he should
have done, for he has again brought
obloquy upon their good names by
getting himself arrested for a new
dodge at his old game of swindle.
His plan Of operation was to go to a
person who had been left in charge of
a house, near the bayou on Court
street, ana represent that he was
authorized to remove the furniture
for safe keeping or sale. The proper
occupants have gone away and
Crute succeeded in his object of
inducing the housekeeper to believe
his story. In the meantime a furni-
ture house, holding a lien on the
household effects, got wind of the
move and proceeded to checkmate
Crute. Sergeant Kunholz went on
Orute's trail, and caught him in the
very act of negotiating for the sale of
the furniture, at a very low figure, to
a mar on Boal street. He escorted
Mr.. Crute to the station house, and
he now rests in that cheerful resort.
Crute's prospects are splendid for a
term in the State prison.

EXPLODED
And Without Evil Effect.

The earth dam across the bayou
near Elliott street was cut near last
midnight, and two million gallons Of
water vas let loose with a rush at the
start. A heavy rain had previously
fallen and the bayou was running
rather flush at the time. Observa-
tiOns taken at various points disclosed
the fact that it required one hour and
forty minutes for the damned water
to reach the Market street bridge.
Here, with the aid of gulley and street
rain water, the bayou reached its
greatest depth along the observation
line, and this depth was measured at
eight feet. At other intermediate
places the depth ranged between five
and seven feet. 1t is claimed that the
bed of the bayou was well washed
along its entire course. There is sat
~isfaction in knowing that no harm was
done, and if but little good results the
experiment did not cost much.

will be supplied at regular restaurant
charges. Rooms for dodgers can be
obtained at from one to two dollars
per day. This move is a good thing
for the public, and those who expect
to remain in the city will doubtless
patronize the house literally in appre-
citation of the spirit that prompts the
change.
