By reference to the advertisement it will
be seen that the exact date of the ap-
pearance Of this circus in Port Town
send has been fixed for Saturday next,
August llth. OF course the little boys,
and big ones too, are happy.
We learn from reliable authority that
plans are being executed for fine brick
hotel building to occupy the present site
of the Cosmopolitan Hotel, to be three
stories high and contain one-hundred
rooms, and to cost $4,000. 1t is no
humbug; the capital is forthcoming, and
the hotel Will be built. Port Townsend
doesn't wait for railway masnates 10
build costly hotels fIr hsr. 1t is not
necessary.
Yesterday morning the steamers Idaho
and Washington eollided near La Con-
ner, severely injurins the latter so that
she will have to lay up for repairs. They
are opposition boats, running from Sc
attic to Whatcom, the Idaho belonging
to the o. r. " n. Co.'S line, and tie
Washington belonging to the Washing
ton Steamboat Co. 1t is not vet
known whether litigation will result
or not. The w. h. Merwin has taken
the Washington's place, temporarily.
Dan CAsrELLo's New CIRcus.-There
is probably no living man today who has
had better success, or made more friends,
or won more laurels in the show business
than Dan CASTILLO. From the time he
tirst performed with his little trained
bull in New York until now his popular
ity has grown. He is known throughout
America and Europe as a man of integ-
rity, sobriety, honesty and of indomita-
bic perseverance. This enviable reputa-
ton Mr. Casteilo has gained by dealing
fairly with his patrons, the public; by
fulfilling his every promise and by con-
stant brain and hand werk. 1t has ever
been his aim to elevate and better his
profession. Mr.. Castello's Nicle-Plate
will perform in Port Townsend, Satur-
day, August 11th, 1888, both day and
night.
While at Port Discovery few days
ago we were quite Interested in a couple
OF immense tanks being constructed for
use IN raising the hull of the sunken
ship War Hawk at that point. They are
each IS feet long, built with the heaviest
kind of timbers inside and planked with
hr SIX and seven inches thick, and their
cost will be about $1,000 each. OF course
such enormous expense could not be
protitably incurred to raise single yes
sci ike the War Hawk, but it IS proposed
to keep the tanks for use hereafter when
ever occasion req;ires it. They are con-
struc ted with separate bulkheads, having
place at either end where weights will
be dumped in for sinking them at low tide
alongside the vessel to be raised, the
middle sections have trap doors at the
bottom that will open to let in water,
and close after the tank is sunk; then
strong chains will be passed under the
null of the sunken vessel by divers and
listened to the tanks, after which the
ballast and water will be taken out of
the latter, and as the tide rises they will
lift their burden. They have a lifting
power OF 400 tons each, dead weight.
Much ingenuity has been displayed in
their construction, and they are fastened
with iron bolts enough to make them
perfectly secure. They will be completed
IN ten days or two weeks, after which
the work of raising the War Hawk will
be speedily done.
