There is said to be employed in the
various logging camps on the Skagit up
wards of 400 men.
There are upwards of 100000 feet of
loose logs in the Skagit river at the pres

The Skagit Boom Co. have about s.
10000 feet of logs in the Skagit river

we're carried away by the recent high
water in the Skagit, making the roads
impossible in places, and travel almost
impossible: but at present, however.
they have nearly all been repaired again.
The work of constructing the new
wharf at this place was commenced to-
day. The structure will be built immed-
lately in front of the warehouse now
partially erected at Rose Point, and will
extend out a distance of 150 feet. 1t will
have an ell on either side 70 feet in
length, giving it the appearance Of the
letter T. The total wharfage will thus
be 800 feet, including the $50 feet fac
ing. After the wharf is finished, large
warehouse will be erected to the right of
the present building, sOxl5O feet, with ID
foot posts, to be used for storing grain.
The machinery for the new saw mill,
now under course of construction by the
Washington Colony, at Whatcom. will
be placed in position in the building as
soon as the remainder arrives from San
Francisco, a portion having come al
ready. The mill when completed. will be
three stories in hight the first story to
be used for dressing lumber, saving
shingles, lath, etc the second for the
large saws, and for logs to be hauled in.
and the third or top story, will be either
turned into sash and door factory, or
used for grist mill. The Colony will
conduct the water from the creek, a dis
tance of $50 feet, in a hume, which will
be allowed fall of 81 feet to the water
wheel below. The estimated power of
the water in the creek is 1900 horse
power.-Anacortes Enterprise.

SUCCESSFUL ArTKa ALL.-It is with
considerable degree of satisfaction we
announce that the steamer Evangel has
entered upon the Alaska mail service.
not because we think she is exactly suit
ed for the mail service. bat because
the great efforts made by Portland cap
ital to burst up this contract of the par
ties on :the Sound have been a
signal failure. The powerful tug Mas
tick and the new steamer Biz laid at
the wharf at Port Townsend, at the
command of the Sound contractors, in
case any bubble was made over the
Evangefs performing the service. At
40 yesterday afternoon, the Evangel
steamed away from the port of entry
with the Alaska mails on board. It ID
the intention Of the contractors TO per-
form the service with the Evangel, only
long enough to enable them to charter
or purchase larger and more suitable
vessel for the trade. Thousands Of dol
lars have been expended to prevent the
fulfillment of the contract, but thanks
to one or two citizens of enterprise, the
web-fO0ters were outgenerated. and the
mail will be carried from the Sound in
stead of Portland for the next year.

two large shields, and deliberately draped
with American flags. The C0lman and

TWO BAD MEN
From Chattanooga Arrested and Re-
turned to that City 10 Answer
for the Robbery Of $500.

Captain O'Haver on Wednesday arrested
Wash EIdridge and John Roack, on a tele-
gram from the chief Of police at Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. They were passengers on the
am. train on the Louisville and Nashville
railroad day before yesterday, and we're
taken at the depot as they alighted from
the train. On being searched, over 500 was
found on their persons. Mr.. Douglass,
special deputy, who arrived in the city yes
terday, and returned with the prisoners on
yesterdays noon train of the Louisville and
Nashville road, stated that the prisoners
we're welI-known bad characters in Chatta-
nooga, and that they had robbed farmer
by the name of Miller, who resides near
Chattanooga, of 1888 in gold, which Miller
had hid away in a bed-tick. The prisoners
exchanged the gold (which had been privately
marked by Miller for greenbacks, and took the
train for ''the wild West" On Miller ascer-
tanning his loss and reporting it to the Chat
tanooga officials, the right parties were sus-
picioned, traced TO the exchange Of the
money and the train on which they left.
Quite little scene occurred in the station
house here when they were preparing
the prisoners for their journey. Roack
was handcuffed without resistance, but
Eldridge rebelled against the humiliation,
and it required the united efforts of all
hands, including the chief, to hold him
while the wrist bracelets were put on.
reaction set in, however, when the chief
ordered the leg bracelets for Mr.. Eldridge.
He begged and assumed the gentfeness OF a
spring lamb, but the recollection by the
chief of his narrow escape from the prison
er's vigorous kicks while they were putting
on Eldridge's handouts did not permit of any
impression by the prisoners new role, and
he was soon on his wav, ironed hand and

Mr.. Fred ]. Anderson, of this city, has
made very handsome drawing of the city

to these were added two of the iron foundries,
the wagon factory and the Charleston rail
road yard, spreading out as it does into such
magnificent proportions, we think the pic
ture would be complete, and as an advertise
ment OF the progress, proportions and trade
and manufacturing facilities of Memphis
would be complete. The drawings are all OF
