WOOL-The wool crop of Western

up. Thurston and one OF two other

but little in the market. Dealers are
selling chicken feed, by the sack, at q
cents per pound.

Point Wilson. 1t will weigh several
pounds, and is from the knee-joint of a

SIDEWALK NEEDED.-Now that the
grade on Washington street has been
opened, would it not be well to con-

for the convenience OF pedestrians? y
considerable portion of our citizens use

great accommodation to them. We
are informed that there is a prospect of
raising half or more of the necessary
amount to construct the walk by private
subscription if the city government
would appropriate the remaining amount
necessary. 1t would cost perhaps $3.50
altogether. What do the city fathers
think about it? And why not complete
the road thus in good shape while it is
receiving attention?

Some mischievous boys closed the
front gate leading out from the Presby-
PRESBYTERIAN Church, last Sunday
evening, and rolled a huge stone and
the greater portion of Il cord of
wood against it, which put several mem
bers of the congregation to the disa greea-
BILE task of removing these distractions
before the congregation could pass
through. If the boys who were the per
petrators of this, as well as many
similar pranks that they have played
lately, were caught and severely rep
remanded, it might be the means of
freeing us from this boOdlumish spirit
that seems to so generally prevail among

body in Jefferson county rejoices over
this fact. By an unfortunate chain of
circumstances, commencing with the
death of the late Arthur Phinney and
continued by the tedious process of
settling the affairs of his estate, the pur-
chase of the site and completion of the
new mill by the Puget mill Co., and the
subsidy continuing its inactivity, Port
Ludlow saw mill has been idle five years
or more past. During that time although
it occupies one CT the very best locations
on Puget Sound, it has not sent out a
single dollar into local circulation, ex-
cept the small amounts paid out from
time to time to the few workmen engaged
in completing the new mill. Had the
Ludlow mill been actively employed all
this time, Jefferson county would have
been ricer today by many thousands of
dollars. One of those who will be most
pleased to see business resumed at that
point is our friend Hon. r. d. Attridge,
who has kept hotel running there all
the time in hopes of reaping a
handsome reward therefrom at some time
in the future. One effect of the long
cessation of activity will be the starting
up bran new saw mill, first-class in all
its appointments, filled with the latest
improved machinery, and, in fact, second
to none on the coast. Indeed, 1t is
thought to be the largest single mill in
the world, and certainly is one of the
very best. Its capacity will be about 20O,-
600 per day. The start about to be made
will suddenly enlarge the local market
for farmers in Chimacum valley and other
adjacent portions of the county.

.TEzG SUN.
NEW YORK,
1883.

More people have read The SUN during
the year just now passing than ever before
since it was first printed. No other news
paper published on this side of the earth
has been bought and read in any year by
SoHIany men and women.
We are crediby informed that people
buy, read, and like THE SUN for the follow
ing reasons, among others:
Because its news columns present in at
trpctive form and with the greatest posi-
| BILE accuracy whatever has interest tor
humankind; the events, the deeds and
misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy, the
notable folly, the solid sense, the iMprOv-
ing nOnSenSe-all the news of the busiest
world at present revolving III space.
Because people have leorned that i'll its
remarks concerning persons and affairs
The Sun makes a practice of telling them
the exact truth to the best of its ability
three hundred and siXty-hve days in the
year. before election rs well as after, about
the whales as well aS about the small fish,
in the face of dissent as plainly and fear
iessly as when supported by general APP
prevail. The Sun has absolutely no pur-
poses to serve, save the Information of its
readers and the turtherance of the common
good.
Because it is eyerybody's newspaper. No
man is So humble that THE SUN is inditfef-
ent to his welfare and his rights No man
is so rich that it can allow injustice to be
is powerful enough To be exempt form the
strict application of its principles Of right
and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for Il
dozen years, without interinissiOn and
sometimes almost alone among neWSpa-
perS the fight that has resulted in the re-
cent overwhelming popular verdict against
Robesonsm aud for honest government.
No matter what party is in power, The
SUN stands and will continue to stand like
a rock for the interests ofthepeopie against
the ambition of BOSSES, the encroach-
ments of monopOlists and the dishonest
schemes fpublicrobhers.
All this is what weare told almost by our
friends. One man holds that The Sun is
the best religious newspaper ever published,
because it's Christianity is undiluted with
can't Another holds that it is the best
republican newspaper printed, because it
has already whipped half of the rascals out
of that party, and is proceeding against the
other half with undiminished vigor. A
third belives to be the best maya zine of
general literature in existence. because its
readers miss nothing worthy ofnotice that
is current in the world of thought. So every
friend Of The Sun DISCOVERIES one of its
many sides that appeals with particular
force to his individual liking.
If you already known THESUN, you will
observe that in 1855 it is a little better than
ever before. If you do not already know
The SUN, you will find it to be a mirror of
all human activity, StOrehOuse of the
choicest prducts of common sense and
imagination, mainstay for the cause of
hon est government, a sentinel for genuine
Jeffersonian Democracy, scourge for
wickedness of every species, and an I'M
commonly good investment for the coming
wear,
