year he went to California, where he resided
until 1857, when he came to Clarke county,
Washington Territory, where he has ever
since resided. He has been an active bust

pursuits; beginning poor man he had
amassed considerable fortune at the time
of his death He was of an energetic, bold
and vigorous character, possessed OF indom-
table will and shrewdness, and his name had
become wherever known the synonym of sue
cess. He was honest in his dealings, and
while he always held everyone with whom
he had business relations to n rigid account

surface of an exceedingly kind and generous
disposition. His business life connected him
most intimately with large number of peo-

NEW YEARS DAY. 1851. in Nanc

New YEARS DAY. 1851, in Vancouver was
the most quiet one witnessed for years
There was no firing of guns or noisy demon
strations to welcome its advent Quiet and
still ii came upon our people, and few had
and sorrow of ouf city, to enter into the
usual joyous welcome of the new year. The
number of New Year callers were barely a
dozen, and in very few houses were calls re.
ceived, about 10 we are informed, and door
knobs ornamented with card baskets were
the rule.

TRADE DOLLARs Some of the merchants
in this city refuse to take Trade Dollars eX-
cept at a discount of ten per cent. In Port
land few of the merchants adopt the same
course Ladd Il Tilton and the First Ma
tional Bank take them at par in the ordi-
nary course of business. As they contain
more silver than the buzzard dollar, and are
bankable in Portland, we can see no reason
why they should not be taken at par IN every
business place in Vancouver. We would
not be afraid of hundred thousand OF them

reached the Office just in time to see two
men skip out of the office door nearest the
safe. They had not used any tools upon it
and were evidently working on the comb
nation. Nothing is known as to who are tn,
culprits, but a couple OF chaps from Port

apparent occupation for several days are sus
pectcd, as they found it unnecessary to boarC
there any longer after the attempt to opcl
