Tn submitting my annual report, - re-
ouired BY Law, ] have deemed II proper
tbat the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the wi and
its financial standing at the present time.
The finances OF the town are In q healthy
condition. considering the dullness Of bust.
pess the past year. The revenue from the
different branches Of business has consid.
ersbly decreased. aud were 1t not for the
curtailment Of the running expenses Of
the town In the beginning OF the year. and
the strictest economy on the part OF the
Town Trustees. the town debt would have
been increased instead Of lessened.
The water works aud everything con-
nected with them 10 In excellent condi'
ton. The hydrants and mains have been
kept In the best working order.
The streets are all 10 good repair, and
have been kept 90 with very little expense
to the town. Tho sewers are all In good
order. Al the cost Of new sewers aud re-
pairs on old Ones 10 always very heavy. tho
Board hare not done any work upon such
only where there was extreme necessity.
The officers Of the town have been faith.
full and energetic In the discharge Of their
duties. Tia poles force, though small.
has done much In keeping OF that element
which IL 90 much annoyance to every
community. Dangerous and suspicious
characters have bad but little opportunity
10 prowl around in our midst, and our
people have much reason to DO thankful
thai thsir intsrests are % well guarded by
such an efisient police force.
The Fire Companies. to whom 10 In
trusted the safety Of U property from

Their activity and efficiency at all times
when their services we're needed has been
in keeping with their past record, and !

for promptness and activity.
In conclusion. ! will state that ! sim

and the sacred duty of the American

people.
Sixth-Since the authority to regu-
late immigration and intercourse be-
tween the United States and foreign
nations rests with the congress of the
United States and it's treaty making
powers, the republican party, regard
ing the unrestricted immigration of
Chinese as an evil of great magnitude,
involles the exercise of that power to
restrain and limit that immigration
by the enactment of such just, humane
and reasonable provisions as will pro-
duce that result.
Seventh-That the purity and patri-
Otism which characterized the earlier
career of II. B. Hayes in peace and
war, and which guided the thought Of
his immediate predecessor to him for
presidential candidate, have contin-
ued to inspire him in his career as
chief executive, and that history will
accord to his administration the hon
ors which are due to an efficient, just
and courageous fulfillment of the pub
lie business, and will honor his inter-
position between the people and pro-
posed partisan laws.
Eighth-We charge upon the demo-
cratic party the habitual sacrifices of
patriotism and justice to II supreme
and unsuitable lust for office and pat
ronage; that to obtain possession of
| the national and state governments,
and of the control of place and posi-
| ton, they have obstructed all the eff
| forts to preserve the purity and con-
serve the freedom of suffrage; have
| devised fraudulent returns and certiii-
Gates; have labored to unseat lawfully
elected members of congress to secure
ut all hazards the vote of the majority
of the states in the house of reprcscn-
tatives; have cndeavored to occupy
10y force and fraud places of trust given
to others by the people of Maine, and
rescued by the courage and action of
Names patriotic sons; have by
methods vicious in principle and ty-
ranncal in practice attached partisan
legislation to appropriation bills; they
have crushed the rights of individuals
and vindicated the principle and
sought the favor of rebellion against
| the nation, and have endeavored TO
oblitcrate the sacred memories of the
| war to overcome its inestimable good
results, freedom and individual equal
| ity.
We affirm 1t to be the duty and pur-
pose of the republican party to use all
| legitimate means of this union to Sc
cure the perfect harmony which may
| he practical, and we submit to the
practical sensible people of the United
States to say whether it would not be
dangerous to the best interests of our
country at this time to surrender the
administration of the national govern
ment to Il party which seeks to over
throw the existing policy under which
we are so prosperous, and thus bring
destruction and confusion where there
is now order, confidence and hope.

George Abrahams was seXtravagantly
fond of cold cabbage, and one day see
ing that quite IA dishful was left after
dinner, asked his wife TO save it for his
salad at night.
About midnight George came home
laboring under stress of heavy
weather. Feeling hungry and think
ing of his favorte cabbage, he asked
where it lay.
His wife replied: ain the pantry on
the second shelf"
Down he went, found the cabbage,
got out the oil, mustard and vinegar,
cut up the cabbage, dressed it to the
queens taste and ate il all.
In the morning his wife noticed the
plate of cabbage where she had placed
it the day before, and turning to her
Dear George innocently asked why
he did not eat the cabbage
"I did," he said.
"How did you like it:'
"Oh, not very well, it was very
tough and stringy."
"But here is the cabbage now, where
did you find any more"
"Why, on the second shelf where
you told me-"
A quick look at the shelf by his wife
and then a cry of agony.
"Why George, you have eaten $50
worth Of lace collars and cuffs that |
had put in starch; stringy cabbage,
indeed.n--N. J. World.

AS was anticipated, the opening OF
the United States land office at TINS
place on Tuesday was signalized by Il
tremendous rush, and at nine o'clock,
the hour of opening, n sur@ng crowd
of about three hundred people were on
the street, with fling papers prepared,
ready to push their way into the Of
flee. Anticipating the rush, the iand
officers secured the services of Mar
shals Fadden and Ryan, one of whom
was stationed on the inside, and the
other on the outside of the building,
and when the door was opened, the OIL
ficers had to exert the utmost author
ity and strength TO keep the anxious
crowd from filling every inch al room
in the Office. Only three or four were
admitted at "A time, but, NOTWITHSTANDING
ing this, every onein the crowd seemed
to think his chance good for adinls-
sion, and the repeated efforts OF each
one to gain an inch of vantage ground
was spectacle more ludicrous than
sublime. After successive repulses by
the officers, the crowd good-naturedly
accepted the situation, and patiently
awaited their turn. All day long, the
register and receiver, assisted by Wal
ter :. Tallant, of Fargo, We're kept on
the Jump and only suspended business
ut u late hour in the afternoon, the
number of filings for the day being a
few over six hundred and forty, and
the aggregate number of acres the
enormous amount of one hundred and
four thousand, which we are assured
is the largest number ofacres everfiled
upon in one day in any land office in
the United States. The rush contin-
ued the second day with but little
abatement, but to-day the excitement
is waning, aud business has settled
down to a steady basis.-Grdad FORKS

correspondent at the East sends
the following statements in relation to
the road: "rhe Northern Pacific re-
commenced the construction of their
road the past season, grading 100 miles
west of the Missouri river and laying
the track on about 90 miles. They
have three locating parties in the field
west of here, one of Duluth surveying
an eXtcntion east, south of La k e
Superior to the Montreal river, where
other companies will connect with
them and complete a road to the Sault
Ste. Marie, there connect with the
Canadian system. The main line will
be extended west to the Yellowstone
river this season, some $50 miles.
Thirty miles are to be built north
warlly on the west side of the Red
River valley. Two hundred miles
we're located from the Columbia river
at the head of navigation northeast
to Lake Pen Il 'Orille last season, II
portion of which will be built this
year, making nearly 100 miles of rail-
roru to be built this season. The
blockade of the Dakota Division by
snow could have been avoided at
very triliing expense. This will be
guarded against another season."
We also learn that there is little
doubt that Congress will grant six
years extension of this on the land
grant. So the company will be in
good condition to push work.

Cascade Surveys.
New Tacoma Ledger, May 2S

l.>cN luCbiii ICu1cl, may 90
Two surveying parties of the North
ern Pacific Railroad are already in the
field looking for passes through the
Cascade range, and two Others are or
dered in by Col. Smith on tie first Of
next month. That under Mr.. White
is still at work on the eastern side Of
the mountains, working this way to
find practicable line from the head
waters of the Yakima to the summit
of the pass, ten miles north of Mount
Adams. Mr.. Bogue's party continue
exploration of the Pierson Pass, and
are probably engaged on the summit,
but no word has lately come from him.
One of the surveying parties to start
out next Tuesday will be in charge of
Engineer ID. ID. Clark, whose work
will be confined to the Cowlitz Pass
and White Pass, six or seven miles
south of the Cowltz. He is selected
for this work because of his familiarity
with the general route, and now goes
to make an instrumental survey 1T
the summit of the Cowlitz Pass, both
ways of which so far only barometri-
cal measurement has been made, and
he will start from Napavinc station
on the lst day of June, with full and
thoroughly equipped surveying party.
Mr.. Clark is Il careful and accurate en-
gineer, and as to morals, acquired all
along the line of the California and
Oregon Railroad the title of "Old Hon
csty'-though at the time of his ser
vice there beardless young man.
The fourth party will be under the inn
mediate charge of Engineer j. T.
Sheets, one of the best field engineers
in the northwest, who has been en-
gagged in connection with almost all
of the Northern Pacific explorations
from the Snoqualmie northward, and
on the surveys of the Columbia river
route; also on the location east of the
mountains. He will start with his
party from Puyallup station to make
an instrumental survey of the summit
of the Nachess Pass, and thereafter
continue such surveys as may be found
requisite to the north of that pass.
The design is to survey the whole ridge
from Mount Adams northward to and
including the Snoqualmie. From Mt.
Adams to the Cowlitz Pass no surveys
of any kind have rs yet been made;
the country is unknown, but the Cow
litz, Nachess and other passes to the
north have been surveyed barometri-
cally and the Snoqualmie 10y instru-
mcnts. Ii is proposed to explore al
the country that has not yet been eXl
amined, and TO supplement the bar
ometrical by instrumental surveys.

rhe Difference between IL Cape (oligcr
and u Clam.
From the Bosom Post

A smart young man asked gentle
man from Cape Cod, What's the differ
ence between you and clam? think
ing that the Cape Codger would say
he didn't know, and then the young
man would pity him for not being able
to see any difference between himself
and clam, but the thing didn't work.
The Codger took the young man aud
brushed path across the street with
him, and then, after crowding him
into an empty fish barrel and yanking
him out again, said: "A clam wouldn't 4
be playing with you this way. That :
the difference 'twixt me an Il clam"
The young man had no more questions
TO ask.
