are private offices for the president and
directors, while the long, neatly grained
counter, splendid desks anG furnishing
of the main room give the establishment
an air of substau tIal and stately comfort.
In the organization and successful man
agemeHt of the First National Bank of
Port Townsend much credit is due to
Mr. Henry Landes, Its leading spirit and
president. The move was bold one 10
make as financial venture, yet its graft
fyIng SUCCESS has demonstrated the good
Judgment of the movers. All who have
associated themselves as officers Ill tn

like this Is not matter of surprise. Their
new and permanent quarters will be

We are proud of the bank, and of the

May their shadow lengthen.
We learn of the death last week at
New Westminster of Mr.. Vim. Balch, OF
lalan nm VI. B j. lch was some
where from 90 to 10 years Of age, and
had settled with his family in the Guile
ute valley about twelve years age. He
was a native of Maine, il we are not mis-
taken. He leaves a wife and one son
and five daughters. One OF the latter
is Mrs. Stratton, of Port Angeles; an
other, Mrs. McQuillan, resides at Sea
beck. Mr.. Baich has been at work III
British Columbia, III the lumber woods,
and had started home, but was taken i'll
at New Westminster and died before any
of his relatives could reach him. His
son-in- law, Capt. Stratton, hurried over
to see him, in answer to a telegram, but
reached there Just in time to pay the
last sad tribute of respect to the re-
mains. Deceased was buried under the
auspices of the masonic order, to which
he belonged. The Balches are a much
family, the younger members
being now nearly all grown up. The old
gentleman had followed teaming in the
lumber woods all his life, and was a
hardy, active man, hardly experiencing
sickness until he died.

PIES IND THE SEASONS.

Popular taste for pies, the manager
of the biggest pie baking establishment
in the world said, changes with the
seasons. There is one steady standby.
That is apple pie. The demand for 1t
is double that for any other kind the
year through. But, outside OF that
they run about in this way: In Decem-
Der, january and February, minee pie
comes to the front, and runs good
second to apple. Just about the hoii-
days It takes the lead just for squirt.
as. for instance, on the day before last
Christmas, when we used ten tons OF
mince-meat in pies in the one day. In
March, April and May, people want
custard and rhubarb, which come next
to apple in the aggregate supply. In
June, July and August, whortleberry,
blackberry and strawberry pies are
largely in demand, and strawberry
thortcake, which is q sort of pie, Is M
small item. In September. October
and November, the ripened fullness OF
the year, the public taste yearns for
pumpkin, and there is also pretty
good run on peach.-Ne.c York Stt1s

4 MIGHTY CHANGE.

A hundred years ago, before the
hand of the pale face had set foot in
these valleys, the noble red man roamed
at will, and shot bears, deer and other
Indians as he listened. The grand
forests that reared their canopied heads
TO heaven formed the avenues in which
he walked, and, clad in simple robe
of skins with feathers surmounting his
brow the aboriginal chieftain was in
Iced picturesque sight.
But civilization has had q whack at
him, and the picturesqueness OF the
war-Iike chieftain can now only be
found amid the pages of the yellow
clad fiction, sold q: 10 cents o dose.
The chieftain of to-day wears plug
hat of the vintage of 1868, an old army
ovcrcoat, rubber boots, ard can swear
in two languages, and drink firewater
in six. No more does lie chase the
fleet deer over the pine-clad hills, but
he hangs around cheap city beer So
looms and browns his SORROWS in tho
lowing bowl Twenty-Five cents worth
of beer will drown n good deal of In
dian SORROW.
The sad-eyed squaw no longer hangs
her papoose on the 1.-the swaying
branches of the tree as she plows the
ground with q pointed stick, and plants
the maize for the winters store. The
papoose now wears ready-made clothes.
and the sad-eyed squaw overturns tile
ash pile in search of cast-off bustles
and 'hoop-skirts, with an occasional
dash of cor. ct, that she may bedeck
her person, and look stunning as she
peddles bead cushions and begs on the
streets.
Civilization has wrought q mighty
change in the once-noble lords of the
forest.-Marathon INDEPENDENT

W. II. II. LEARNED, Post Master

Professor Nitschke, of Olympia, is in
town and intends remaining for a week.
His reputation not only as Il musician,
but as a panic maker with years of ex.
perience with the foremost firms of
Europe and America, has been so well
established during his three years resi-
dence on Puget Sound, that his name
has become a household word with our
music lovers. The ARGUS, therefore,
thinks this notice of his present visit
in Port Townsend sufficient tto secure
him the patronage Of those desiring
their pianos tuned, regulated or repaired
in thorough workmanlike manner. Or
ders left at the ARGUS office, will receive
prompt attention.
