Winter known for many years.
High winds prevailed accompanied
with heavy rains and severe hail

as fell here and elsewhere, and what
fell was soon carried off by subse-
qnent rains. There will be but lit

Honey In the Dairy Business.

The DssFaich. in noting the re
ceipt Of two tons Of California butter
by Seattle erocers, TO supply the To-
cal wants Of retail trade, expresses
its surprise that the dairymen of tie
Territory should allow an imported
article TO compete with 4 home pro
duct, at the fair pnce which the ar
ticle always commands. 1t Afirms
that Ours Is a much better dairy
country IL every respect than any
part Of { alIfornIa, and that improved
farms are great deal cheaper
that the farms upon the river bot
toms produce a third more hsy per
acre and II costs one half less to
winter stock here than upon the
farms OF the Hudson and Susaue-
hanna The atmosphere is as free
frcm mslarial influence as any in the
world, pure cold spring water album
dant, and there are no adverse cir
cumstances TO counteract these man
fest advantages. In fact, as good
butter is produced here as can be
found in any market In the world
but in very limited qualities, and it
always commands ready market at
highly reWunerative prices, the mar
ket is never fuctuating or uncertain
but in regard to butter of an infer
Tor quality. Mr.. Smith, on Black
River, for four or five years delivered
to his regular customers in Seattle
an average of at least a hundred
pounds week, at the uniform price
of so cents a pound. Mr.. Adams,
on White river, last fall sold his
Summer product of 5000 lbs OF
packed butter for 81 900 in gold
coin, without the trouble of market
ing it out in small lots. Anybody
can do as we'll who can estabiish a
reputation for uniformly producing
a first-class article.

AN entertainment is advertised to
take place in Columbia Hall, Tues
day night, the 9th instant, for the
benefit of the "Poor of Olympia.
Who the poor are, and what their
necessities may be, the bill does not
state, or doubtless the hand of meek
Charity, which vaunteth not, would
at once relieve their distress. We
think that probably the custom of
having some beneficiary object to
serve as an ercuse for the exhibition
of native talent, may have suggested
the use of phraseolosy which, abroad +,
is likely to be construed into ex-
pressing u condition of restitution
and suffering which does not exist.
To obviate such a possible miscon-
ception, we have written this pre-
Jude to the announcement that
Binks'' is to be the play presented,
and that the entertainment will close
with "Grand Commers," scene
from German student life. The
price of admission will be fifty cents.

exposed to the hail of meteors, and
this hail would be as heavy as posi-
bic, which would require that either
comet or part of its meteor train
very close to the comet should be
the source of the meteoric hail. The
velocity with which, under such con.

through the air would amount to
about forty miles an hour. 1t is
