Elleusburg is anxious to be the seat
OF a division of the Northern Pacific

Cascade Branch.
Mr.. Seavey's building nearly opposite
Waterman X Katz' received new roof
today among its other changes. Mr., c.
D. KeIlar is doing the job.
The international and the Tucker
House, both Sloryins in fresh paint and
new carpenter work, are in keeping wi tn
the progressive tendency of the town.
We acknowledge tine receipt of copy
of the minutes of the Temperance Con-
yention held in Seattle the last week in
June. 1t was printed at G. b. Bagley's
job office in Olympia, and is neat and
comprehensive.
We have received a neat and unique
specimen of journalism from w. L.
Blacks Job office at WalIa Walla. 1t is
diminutive, is humorous, is called the
Mule, and is evidently intended to ad-
vertise the job printing.
Is it not rather sickening to pick up a
Seattle paper and find therein from day
to day items about "the queen city,
''the metropolis" &c? 1t soundsso much
like newspaper blowing about its cir
culation and business. You can't help
listening for the bottom to drop out.
Rebecca, the infant child of Benja-
min and Isabella McFerran, died in
Victoria August Dist of cholera infan-
tum. Mr.. and Mrs. McFerren were form
erly of Port Townsend, the latter, form
erly Mrs. Murphy, is a sister of Mrs. n.
D. Tobey. The bereaved parents have
our sympathy.
Messrs. Levers & Herns have leased
the International Hotel building from
Mr.. Landes for term of three years.
They will soon open therein a hotel first
class in every respect. A bar viii be at
tached in the new addition at the side
of the main building. In view of the
crowded state of our other hotels ii
would seem that they may do a lively
business from the start.
Our hotels and eating houses are pro-
vided with better sandwiches than that
which the Norristown Herald reported
as saving mans life by stopping a
bullet that would other wise have been
fired through him. Their onions, how
ever are after the regulation pattern, be-
ing, as boy wrote in his composition,
'the vegetable that makes you sick when
you don't eat 'em yourself"
HAVE COME To SFAY.-We had the
pleasure today OF meeting Messrs. A. l..
Teele and j. B. Voorhees,, couple of
enterprising lawyers who have come to
Port Townsend with view of remain
ing here permanently and growing up
with the country. Mr.. Teele was recent
ly of the firm of Bryant & Teele, of
Whatcom. He was formerly of Dakot a,
where he had some experience in the
newspaper business. Mr.. Voorhees, is
late of Illinois. Both these gentlemen
are enterprising and capable else we are
no Judge of appearances. Having been
over the ground carefully, they have
chosen to locate in Port Townsend be-
cause it is clean, healthy, lively and gives
unmistakable evidence of stability. They
have found that it is not always the towns
that shout the loudest that have the most
reliable expectations. Messrs. Teele
Il VOORHEES, have secured an eligible
= location for their Office in the Custom
House building, where they will be ready
for business early next week. Like all
live business men who know how to reach
the public ear, they inserted their card
in the ARGUS. We wish them success,
and bespeak for them the favorable con-
sideration of the public.
