\ 1t is ramored that our local railroad
is about to change hands, California
capitalists being the purchases, with
view of developing tie coal fields
near Tenino. Such stories seems
somewhat fishey about election
times.
The Harvest Festival given by the
Unitarian Sunday School, Sunday

tainment of Rotations and vocal
and instrumental music. The church

audience.
Mr. Jos. NJ. Scott, of South Union

what the fears ef his wife and

The Annual Ball, Nj ,nday eve
ming, was final elimination of the
late NJ chauics' Fair held by the
Washington Idustrial Association,
in Columbia Hail When everything
is considered. the fair is pronounced
an encouraging success, aud we trust
that the managers, seconded by our
business men, mechanics and pro-
ducees, all take time by the forelock
in preparing for better exhibition
next year. Tnere l., but one Opinion
rs to the capabillty of our people III
TIE matter Of holding thcs~ annual
exhibitions Of our natural resources
and industrial skill. In compar-
aug our own fair with those of Sc
~(sttle and Walla Wulla, disinterested
eye-witnesses pronounce verdict
largely in favor of Olympia. Active
preparations for the late fair COM
menced on the part of the managers
only about week before the day of
opening the doors to the visitors.
With such showing as the effort
proved to be, there is abundant evil
dence to convince the slowest movers
that by the advent of another twelve
month, a mec lanical and industrial
fair can be held in our city which will
justify the coming of visitors from
parts Of the Territory.
