The new warehouse on Union wharf
Will be finished this week.
The Dakota will arrive from Seattle

Everybody remarks about tie number

Destruction of our valuable Forests by
fires carelessly started still continues,
and the damage has already run into
millions.
The ship Henry Failing is expected to
sail from Seattle with q load of coal to-
morrow. The Detroit will also sail IN
few days.

PLAYED neat and SNOWY signs at their
furniture and crockery warehouse, and
on the front of their wagon shed.
The smoke stack at Quimper Mfg. Cos
new works was erected today. We will
soon have an extended article descrip-
tive of the creditable progress made by
this company.
4 number of the eXcursiOnists to Dun
geness returned this morning on the Dis
patch. We have not learned yet whether
any game, berries or cream were left in
that locality or not.
Rev. Jno. Reid returned from Victoria

his brief vacation. He reports large
amount of building going on in Victoria,
and al of substantial character.

w. T., as was reported; also that he took
no action in the matter whatever.
Schr. Excelsior arrived today from
San Francisco She is lying at Union
wharf where she discharged some thirty
odd packages for G. G. Bartlett Y Co.,
and about as much for N D. Hill x
Son.
We notice the front of Mr.. Rothschild's
store building being freshly painted. 1t
looks as though the Baron might be
thinking of branching out into business
AGAIN The stand is good one, and
ought to be utilized.
Mr.. Hiram Parrish, who has been visit
ing his many friends in Port Townsend
for a time, will leave tomorrow on his
return to Pendleton, Ogn. His niece, a
Miss Griffin, accompanied him to this
place. He looks refreshed and improved.
An alarm of fire was sounded this fore
noon. 1t proved to be at tie foundry
OF the Townsend Iron Works. It started
in dryer III which were patterns, out
side the main building, and communi-
Gated to steps running up outside.
Prompt measures were taken, and the
flames were soon extinguished.
We like the course taken by the pres
ent city government in holding meet
inss IN public where all can have access
to them. 1t is public business that they
transact, and should not be done IN
corner. Occasional attendance by pri-
yate citizens at their sittings would
doubtless stimulate them, moreover, to
punctuality in attending meetings, &c.
The schooner Gen. Harney has dis
charged load of stone from the Chuck

he will move his family and household
goods from that point to Port Townsend
on his return trip.
- MIR. and Mrs. Russ, of Portland, Ogn.,
passed through Port Townsend today on
thelr way to Victoria They called at
this office and left letter of introduction
from friend. but we were away at the
time. 1t is unfortunate that the dense
smoke cloucing the atmosphere should
interfere so materially with their enjoy
ment of the scenery of Puget Sound, es-
peciaily as they were so anxious for the
treat. Mr.. Russ is one of Portland's
business men.
report says that some seventeen ChiL a.
men were unlawfully landed at Scow
Day few days ago We did not learn
whether they were starved or not. or
now they managed to evade capture: but
probably the whole thing is a cruel hoax
perpetrated upon the S. F. Eran,iaer.
VI course people who live here, and
ofhcers who are on the lookout for such
news, can't tell when the law is being
eSaded' 1t is suggested to telegrs ph to
The San Francisco Officials" to ascertain
tle truth or faisity of the report Mavbe
1t would be found to have been s.imnos-
sihie' that such violation of the law
could have been perpetrated.
