The Eagle brewery at Mukllteo

ITEM, the brewer, barely escaped
with his life. The Cause of the fire
is unknown. 1t was discovered at

Valued at $4,000.
On San Juan Island are now sew
eral lime kilns, and 40 men at work.
They are driven to their utmost Ca
paclty to supply the extraordinary
demand at present made upon them.
1t is the sole source of supply of
British Columbia, Seattle and the
lower Sound, and the principal
source for the country from Seattle
south to the California line.
The body of William Cock, son OF
Henry Cock, of Walla Walla, has
been found. 1t will be remembered
that young Cock, who was at work
at Pioneer, disappeared last January
and no trace of him could be found
Oh account of the hecvy fall of snow,
but recently his body was discovered
within half mile of his own cabin
door. 1t is supposed he was blinded
by the SNOW and could not find his
way home.
1t is stated that Washington Ter
ritory will in 1882 send abroad
365 ,O00, 900 feet of lumber, 200 200
tons of coal, 100000 pounds of
hops, 200, 900 cans of salmon, 5000
600 bushels of wheat, 300 900 bush
els of oats. 10000 bushels of pota-
toes, and $4,000, 900 pounds OF wool.
Averaging cargoes at 1900 tons
e2ch, this vast quantity of produce
will load over 800 large ships, OF
three every day of the year except
Sunday.
The shipping at Port Blakely is
something remarkable in the history
of a Puget Sound sawmill. There
we've no less then thirteen ocean 60.
ing vessels in that busy little port one
day last week, and twelve are there
now; one of the number being an
ocean notwithstanding new in
the lamber carrying trade. These
thirteen vessels will carry cargoes
aggregating 100000 feet, repre-
senting a six weeks cut of the i'm
mense mill at that place.
The American ship Eoquois 2,13O
tons, and H. S. Gregory. 1920 tons,
have finished discharging careoes of
railroad iron at New Tacoma and
will load there with Walla Walla
wheat. The o. r. q n. and Northern
Pacific Companies have contracted
to deliver for these two vessels 6 900
tons, which will be transported by
boats and barges from Bonneville to
Kalama; thence by rail to Tacoma.
They will get their cargoes from the
earlier shipments, about the middle
of August to the middle of Septem-
Der.
OF Is 1902, SG2 school age children
in the United States there is school
attendance of only 9,729, 1S9, leaving
more than one-third of the children
and future rulers Of our Republic
growing up in illiteracy; while of the
Z 500 900 school children in imperial
Germany, but 300 900, or only one
twenty-ffth of the whole number,
are non-attendants; and that portion
will hardly include more than those
who are necessarily absentees from
physical disabilities. The COMPARE
son is not consoling to our patriotism
or boosted pre-eminence.
The Puyallup Hop.grower's As
ISOLATION will meet on Saturday, the
22d of July, to perfect a permanen mt
organization and select agents to 60
to British Columbia to procure hop
pickers. The need of such an organic.
alton has long been felt, particularly
by those who live far up the river
and are at a disadvantage from
their position. The Indians have
a system among themselves. They
come in gang and will not divide
up when only a part are needed at
one place. System on the part OF
the growers could regulate this, as
we'll as the size of boxes, pay, etc.
The system of bidding up aud get
ting Indians to break engagements
works great annoyance. When u
