Port Townsend excellent site, cleaniy !

the travelling public than at this time. |
Seatilcs streets are oceans, cstuuries, /

the bay, aud still it is 50 bad III places !
that horses get mired with nothing heav- |
ier TO haul than a buggy; one horse was
recently shot because he got INTO mud |!

IItIOn OF things Is true 10 ii greater or

ND. 1t is noteworthy and to the credit
# Mr.. Swan that the results Of his recent
rip have been deemed sufficiently val
liable by the Smithsonian to elicit :; re-
lueSt from Prof. Baird to continue . Y
'loratlons next summer ii q suitable APP
can be secured for that pur-
'ose. 1t has been suggested that an ex-
'loring party i'll the nature OF an excur-
ION might be gotten up next summer.
his has been suggested by inquiries on /
nc part OF eastern gentlemen who have {
ensure. plenty OF money, and desire 10 |
AXE novel trip with their yachts {
hey could send IL yacht around Cape t
ion at this season OF the year, Just the |
lme) meet it here next spring by coming
cross the n. p. Il. r., and proceed to |
he northern waters during June and {
uly. There are mummies and other {
ulky Indian curiosities to be had there !
Thich Mr.. Swan could not secure with a
