Some Hints for Boys.

Avoid that which you see amiss in
others. Follow the example of only
the good. Keep your ears open to all
that is worth hearing, closed to all that
is not. An older PERSONS experience
is of no value to You unless you profit
by it. You are not building on the
future. but ON the past and present.
Evil communication corrupts good
manners. Nobody wants to deal with a
doubleminded boy. Be industrious, the
world wants boys who are not afraid of
hard steady work. ssThe empty yes
sells make the most sound" Some
boys inherit good fortunes, but no boy
ever inherited scholarship, a good cha
acter or a useful life. If you would be
capable, cultivate your mind ; if you
would be lovee, your heart. Never ex-
cuse a wrong action by saying some
OF e else does the same thing this is no
excuse at all.

The FISH SUPPLY.--The variety of
fish in the market, is at this season of
the year greater than any other, and is
a constant source of wonderment and
attraction to passers by. The salmon
are almost out of season, and will be-
entirely gone ere long. though they are
still sufficiently numerous for the town
demand. Tho later run of salmon are
larger variety of fish than those before
them. The several varieties of pan
fish are now abundant, and can be OLD
tanned any day in any quantity to suit.
Founders are in full supply; also rock
cod, black bass. and other varieties of
food fish. And not only these are to be
seen every day, but great number of
other nsh not generally considered SO
desirable for the table. One of these,
not long ago, Game in the shape of a
shark OF about 800 pounds weight. Dog
fsh occasionally fiRd their way to the
city stands. but not often, as they are
usually killed ON catching. and thrown
back into the sea. Once in while an
octopus, or devil fish is hung up, and
at still greater intervals, a sturgeon.
Halibut are seen but seldom, now, be-
ing out OF season. Skates are caught
by the dozen, and sometimes sold. A
variety OF cells is sometimes seen, as
also the rat fish, an ugly, big-eyed crea-
ture that, though small, is almost terri
flying to behold. There il hardly a day
that twenty varieties Of fish cannot he
seen at the different stands, vhile the
quantity caught for town sale cannot be
TAR from . ton weight every day.

LAND FRAuDs.

In the United States Circuit Court al
Denver, Colorado. recently, Judge Nc
Ceary ordered thai patents to EGO acres
of mineral land held by the Colorado
Coal and Iron Company be cancelled.
These patents were obtained through
fraudulent entries under the pre- emp
tiou Act. the patentees being fictitious
persons, or. stool pigeons" and 1t was
nroven that the Register and ReeeIver
we're parties 10 the fraud. IL was
claimed by the holders Of the deeds
based upon these fraudulenily acquired
patents that being nov in the hands OF
innocent parties, they were good, and
could not be legally SGT aside. Inc
judge rightfully held otherwise.
Land frauds though the prostitution
and perversion Of the laws which were
enacted in good faith for the benefit OF
settiers. and to aid in the legitimate
Growth of the western States and Terri
tories have become notorious. Not alone
in mineral lands, but still more extern

have these frauds for years existed and
increased.
Under the operation of fraudulent

UNSAFE BUrLDISGs.-The South Third
street building which collapsed the other
day, is being rebuilt, and we are glad
to see that sufficient support is icing
placed under IL to render il stronger
and safer than before. One would think
that the lesson conveyed by such an
accident would be needed, at least by
property owners In that immediate vi
cinltv; but il doesn not seem to be so. Ii
does not take practical builder to see
that q very large percentage of the
buildings in the vicinity of Main, Wash
inRtOn and jackson stneets are in
fearfully unsafe condition. Let any
one who Is inclined to doubt this, take
a walk through that portion of the city
and see for himself. Notice, for in
stance, the building occupied as a Chi
nese laundry on Main street immediate
iy above Third. The wonder is that
such building will stand for day,
and yet this is no isolated case. A great
many Of the buildings in that vicinity,
indeed probably a majority Of them,
are perched high in air on flimsy. cob
web like props, that are not sufficient to
safely sustain mouse trap. The plan
IN vogue seems to be, either to rails. a
building higher and higher from the
ground, as the street grade is placed at
higher level, marking each new eleva-
ton by sub-structure of two inch
planks; or to remove some shanty from
one Of our principal streets in order to
make room for better building, and to
deposit il somewhere in the vicinity of
Washington street, elevated twenty feet

folding. These are not buildings: they
are man traps and each person who
enters them must do so at the risk of
his life. A real gust of wind would be
almost certain to be the bearer of death
and destruction to portions of lower Sc
attic. There Is probably economy in
these buildings, as tenants will always
be found for them, no matter how un-
safe they may be; but there are still
few oid-fashioned people who believe
that human life is superior to any mere
consideration of dollars and cents, and
that 1t should be so considered. The
public never will learn willingly; il
must have lessons forced upon it. We
suppose that this reckless neglect of
safety will continue until some morn
ing II becomes the duty of the Posr In
rELLIaENCxR to chronicle a disaster
fraught with terrible loss of life. II is
only u question Of time, il such build
ings as those we describe are allowed To
stand. They should not be constructed;
they should not DO allowed to exist one
minute as perpetual msnaces TO life and
limb. III common sense and regard for
the public safety will not regulate this
matter. the law should.

Seattle real estate is by no means of
slow sale, but is changing hands with
only little less rapidity than in the
" booming" days of lest spring and
early summer. Transactions are nu-
rnerous, as our semi-weekly record will
establish. while prices are still in the
ascendant.
The last addition put in the market
was that of Mrs. Sarah b. Yesler, few
weeks ago. consisting Of sixty lots.
These lots were all cleared. were of easy
access, of commanding location and
generally desirable. Prices were set at
800 for inside lots and xl5O for corners.
Twelve have been sold during the past
two days, and only seven OF the original
sixty now remain unsold. Several
houses are already building on these
lots, and the prospects are good for
general improvement and occupancy
of the whole addition during the ensu-
ing year.
Eighteen months ago the Brigham
place, on the west side of Lake Union,
comprising twanty two lots, was bought
by q. Davies and others from John
Leary for $500. A deed was no more
than obtained before resale Of the
tract was effected at an advance of
$40, j. q. Nolop being the purchaser.
Mr.. NoIop has held the land sine. until
yesterday, when he sold il to Lawrence
s. Booth, Deputy Auditor of the County,
for 5000. Few pieces of property have
advanced in price more rapidly than
this piece, and few or none are more de-
sirable, either.
Something like a score of years ago
DIR. Maynard presented Rev. ID. +.
Blaine, Seattle's pioneer clergyman,
with eighteen lots at the upper end of
Washington, Main and Jackson streets,
near where are now the handsome
dwellings Of Lawyers Jenner and Met
calfe. The gift was not, in pecuniary
sense, very generous one at the time
of its making, a. the lots then were
worth not much more than a dollar
apiece in fact, were unstable at any
price. Mr.. Blaine, however. hung to
them tenaciously, paying each year the
trifling tax upon them, and having a
jxed faith ia their ultimate value that
could not be shaken. These eighteen
lots he has Just sold. the new owners
paying for them $1,000 in gold and
paying all the taxes of 1888, including
those for street improvements, ag9re
eating about $1,000, and bringing up the
actual purchase price TO $4,000, or
$1,000 lot right through the whole
property. Mr.. Blaine hasn't done badly
on Seattle real estate by any means, as
the foregoing proves, and as may be in
ferred from the further statement that
his four Front street lots, which cost
him $500 ten years ago, would bring
him 81, 900 today without trouble.

Work ON THE RAILRoAD.-The people
of Seattle have from time to time heard
SO much concerning work at the rail
road front, and have seen SO little of
almost lost interest in the matter and
have hecOme accustomed to receive with
passive inoredulity all reports from
those who have visited the camps. Now,
however, the army of Chinese laborers
that has been gradually drawing nearer
to as is here, and the railroad front" is
at our very doors. Any citizen can in
the course of an after dinner walk sat
isfy himself that the entire completion
of the road is an event of the near flu
ture. On the shore about hundred
yards above Mcdonald d Reitze's saw
mill large force is employed grading,
clearing and making all preparations
for track laying. The new road will run
almost coincidental with the present
track of the Columbia d Puget Sound
Railroad, although on a higher grade
aud some few feet further to the east,
until point Just above the saw mill is
reached. Here it branches off and cuts
across the bay on line of piles consid-
erably further out from the shore line
than anything that has yet been built.
The track strikes solid ground again
just south of the lower end of Jacks on
street, and catting across the point OF
ground at the approach to the coal dock,
again strikes out on piling and runs
down to the City aud Ocean docks, meet
ing them few hundred feet from the
shore line. IL is the intention to con-
struct three-rail track from the termi-
nus in this city to Black River junction
and thus allow for the running of either
narrow or standard gage rolling stock.
The piling is being driven in substan-
tial and lasting manner, and firm road
bed is being constructed. The depot,
as We have previously stated, will be
built ON piles between the shore and the
track line, in the vicinity of the railroad
mill. Woyk on this building has not
yet been begun, bat will be within a
short time.
