NEW WHARF.-Since the purchase oil
the Torjssen property by Mr.. l. katz, a
company has been forming for the pur-
pose of erecting a new wharf in front Ol
that and the lot occupied by Messrs. Wa
terman & KatZ' store. The structure will
extend, We understand, 10 deep water,
and include large L-shaped front to at
ford secure dockage room for vessels in
any kind of weather. The necessary cap
ital stock has been fixed at $1,000, most OF
which was readily taken, Waterman &
KatZ. DR.. n. d. Hill and Mr.. L. NJ. Ham,
mond being the principal owners. This
move Indicates healthy and progressive
growth OF the town and its business.
REsCUED.-On Saturday last young
son OF Mr.. james Jones fell off the wharf
into the bay and produced some little con-
sternation till he was fortunately rescued
by his father and Mr.. James McCarty, a
young and deserving brick layer. The
last named jumped in and assisted the
floundering Juvenile to terra firma again.
Mr. AeCarty has earned some little fame
in this line, having rescued Is persons
from drowning in less than one year, in
the state OF Connecticut, receiving medal
therefor.

OUR item last week about the sale OF
personal property of the estate OF John
Brown, deceased. In San Juan county,
should have stated the time fixed upon for
the sale as the 18th and 18th of AUGUST
instead Of July. IL was an inadvertent
error that would be detected by reference
to the advertisement, but we make this
correction that none may be misled.
| As an item Of s'interest" to those OF our
freaders who rush heedlessly into debt, we
may mention the fact that in 1s69-7O H.
L. Yesler, OF Seattle, borrowed $40. 600.
A few days ago he settled his account and
found he had paid $l0l. 900 interest money,
besides reiunding the principal. 1t is
easy 10 get in debt, but-getting out is
quite another thing.
To the heedless, unthinking, improvi-
dent world, we commend the thoughtful
action Of q provident merchant OF Port
Townsend, who, having brought lot OF
green fruit from San Francisco, for the
local market, threw in an assortment of
coffins.
Mn. G.. N. Haller. on his recent trip to
San Francisco, brought up another addi.
tiOu 10 his already large and varied libra
~. The way he continues to pile in books
from time to time indicates decided am
bition in that line.
