No excuse, now, for weather
croakers.
"How hot it isv' is a common ex-
preston nowadays.
SAL Soda recently took the pre-
MUM at washing match.
EARLY risers are treated to q a free
exhibition of brilliant fog-bows.
ALMOST every day, parties are
leaving in carriages or boats for the
camping grounds.
UNsCRUpULoUs pleasure-seekers de-
voted a large portion of the day,
last Sabbath, to fishing.
IT has been proposed to erect a
series of salmon-ladders at the Des-
chutes. Who will assist in the mat
ter?
New sidewalks are to be built
both south and west from the south
west corner of Fourth and Main
streets.
IT matters little, just now, of
what style the fans are, only so they
are vigorously welded and bring IL
dash of cool air.
FREQUENT applications of cold wa
ter to the head is one of the best
things to guard against the ap-
proaches of suns.roke.
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. - Next
Sunday, July 9th, Rev. Mr.. Ban
field, of Tacoma, will preach both
morning and evening-the evening
service to begin at 7 o'clock.
LIVERY stable men say the coarse
gravel on our streets is hard on the
felloes of newly painted buggies.
But for this gravel, the frozen mud
would be harder, next Winter.
MEEsRs. Meeker & Co., of Puyal-
lup, have about eight acres of tobac-
co, this year. They are at present
engaged in manufacturing cigars
from their last years crop. Good
prices for leaf tobacco are still ruling
and should there not be general
rush into the business, the few who
are engaged in it may realize mod
crate remuneration.
WHILE Fourth of July orators
went begging for opportunities to
soar aloft with the American eagle,
the officers of the Industrial Asso-
citation are finding some difficulty in
procuring a suitable person to de-
deliver their annual address. 1t
seems little strange that matters
should stand thus when we have so
much surplus talent floating around.
A FELLOW who has tried the plan,
says the ice.cream restaurant is
splendid place to pop the question
to ones girl. Everything is for him
and nothing is against him. He is
cool and she is cool and there is no
need of either getting into q furry.
When you see her licking her spoon
as if her whole soul were engrossed
by the sweet morsel, when you see
her looking rather leaky around the

A wELL-ro-po property owner says
we are exactly right. No careful
man is going to invest his money in
costly buildings till the town pro-
vides itself with the latest and most
approved facilities for staying the
progress of a midnight confagration,
and he means a steamer of course.
What do the authorities say. When

hear the whistle of the steamer.
The concert given by the Hutchin-
son Family, Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings, met with tolerably
fair patronage and gave very gener-
al satisfaction. The pieces rendered
were mainly old.tims songs, several
of which were composed by the lead
er, John w. Hutchinson. The
quartette "The Lord is my Shep-
herd" was probably the best piece of
