know where he was; saw him one
hour after leaving Townsend; he

everything that he got; he was

The Pacific Coast Steamship Com
phny has signilied its purpose to
make Olympia its terminal point on
the Sound, and why should not our
people, at once meet this move bv
extending Main St. Wharf to deep
water? Thus would direct commu-
hication be had with the city and its
deep water frcnt. Let us figure up
the cost and advantages. Say the
cost of wharf extension, to deep. wa-
ter, would he $4,000. Say we Dor
rowed the money on five years cred
1t at 8 per cent. interest. Tie CITY
should pay no more, and plenty can
be had at this rate. Now the most
of our merchants have their own
teams, or they could have their
freight from the wharf just when it
suited them. Say the city had a
proper freight or store house oil the
wharf, in charge of the Marshal
There is an average of one hundred
tons of freight per month landed at
the wharf. At O wharfage of so
cents per ton, it is equal to $50 per
month, revenue. Let the city charge
at the rate of 81 per month for each
ton of freight remaining in storage
oven five days, and for each package
under 100 pounds so cents, nothing
TO be allowed for fractional months
or days, but the money to be due on
the sixth day. Say our revenue
from this source is $40 month.
We would have, on shis basis, at the
end of five years, $1,000. Say after
the first year, the basis increased ten
per cent. and after the second year
it increased 20 per cent, we would
have added to the above S1,0SO,
which would make the wharf revenue
at the ehd of five years amount to
81 $50. This, then, with q tax of
one-tourth of one per cent. for five
years. would pay for the wharf and
leave balance for repairs or i'm
provements, Of q little over 81 200,
taking the present taxable property
OF the city as a basis. Would not
our town merchants be benefited by
five days storage? And would not
the city be benefited by having its
Main street connected with deep Wa
ter, and thus offer increased facili-
ties to vessels, to shippers and re-
ceivers? Let us move forward, Am

Winncbago Agency, like this place,
is very prolific for propagating innu-
merablc specimens of the canine
species, and their barkings and howl
ings often disturbs the pleasant dreams
of the inhabitants. Charles Young, n
business man there, rcvolved in his own
mind how to get rid of them, and the
more he pondered over the subject the
more sanguine he was that it was o. K.
so keeping his unpatented secret to
himself he loads revolver of numer-
Gus barrels and after dusk softly steals
to one corner of his house to await the
coming of the noisy quadrupsds. Spy
ing around the corner he observed a
huge object lying upon a snow bank a
short distance away, and hastily blow
ing up his arm sleeves to steady his
nerves he raised his weapon Of death to
his eye and fired two shots in quick
succession at the object. Not seeing
any signs of life he concluded his aim
WAS perfect, and his shot successful.
After popping away at the other whelps
until his cartridges were all expended
he retired well satisfied with one nights
work. Next day his good wife went
out to fill her wash boiler with snow
preparatory TO doing a big wash, but
what was her CONSERVATION in observing
the bottom riddled with bullet holes.
Of course Charles didn't know any
thing about it, but wondered to himself
where the dog was he thought had
occupied that snow bank.

and fervor it was superior to the dis
course he gave in the same place last
year. Nearly two hours he held large
and intelligent audience spellbound, ex-
cept when at intervals they would break
out into applause. So sound and con-
elusive is his reasoning, 50 Gogent and
earnest are his appeals, and so wholesome
is the influence of his address, we could
wish il were heard by every congregation,
