As an encouragement to working girls,
it may be stated that the best ''catch"
made by any girl in Port Townsend for
years was by one who had independence

While walking down Quincy st. wharf
dock today we espied comely looking
yacht, slOop rugged with jigger sail aft,
haunting pennant upon which was the
word "Ariel." An ancient mariner who
might have personated Neptune poked 5
his head out of the spacious hatchway, {
but disappeared too soon for an inter
view. The craft looked as though capa- ,
bio of carrying n good sized pleasure /
party and large supply of champagne. t
1t is thought the Oldest Justice of the
Peace III the q. S. died recently. His Z
name was Thomas Warmer, and he died t
IN the farm where he was born, about l
six miles from Pittsburg, Pen. He was "
born in 1876, was commissioned JUS
lice of the Peace by President Jackson !
n 1882, and has been elected to that 7
office continuously ever since. In 1870 il
20 was presented with a gold-headed \
cane by the Judges in Pittsburg for hav- /
ng sent up more cases to court than any /
Other Justice in the county. He was a {
grand uncle of Prof. II. c. Kerr, of this
place. Having been been called hence y
On writ of mandamus, it is hoped that Z
he has made out a good case by his life I
record, and that he will be discharged t
without bail to roam at ease in the flow
cry beyond where the wicked cease from !
iling complaints and where writs of |
,ertiorari are unknown
L he floor in the main room OF the '
bank building is being laid today This
is something like 26x72 ieet in
size. 1t has a large and very pleasant i,
basement story, extending the whole /
ength and breadth of the building. The j
vault for treasure and valuables, open
ing ON the main floor, is Sx10 feet in :
side. Its massive walls of stone and :
heavy iron door bespeak perfect securi- !
~. The main room is several feet above
the grade of the street, and its front en- '
trance is reached by a double flight of '
Itairs or steps,, cast at Townsend Iron |
Works, leading up from either direction
TO large, substantial iron platform be-
tore the main entrance. The entrance to
tile lower or basement story is Immediate '
!y underneath the platform. In the
openings for doors and windows in the 1
front of the main room. large iron shut
ters are being put in position When 9
the interior is fitted mp with elegant
offices for President Landes and Cashier l
Hill, it will look as attractive as does the S
outside. In front the building presents
IN imposing aspect. 1t will be the pride i
IF Port Townsend as well Is tLe owners /
Of the bank. Every citizen-of public
spirit feels that he has personal interest I
in both building and business, and q =,
pride in their appearance before the out
side world-and every citizen should feel
it his duty to assist by his patronage in p
making the banking business here such ?
a success as its projectors deserve.
