FOggy weather makes it unpleasant
again for steamboat navigation, and foI
sight-see rs
DIR. Minor, formerly of this place, is
erecting n handsome and expensive
dwelling i IL Seattle.
Lieut.. Biondi will leave in few days
for his post of duty on the revenue cut,
ter Rush, at San Francisco.
VIM. Appl eby, of Dungeness, has en-
| ployment at the Cosmopolitan, and is a
Port Towns end resident again.
MIR. and Mrs. Bowen have taken up
their residen ce in one of Mrs. Webster's
houses in the western part of town.
Port Townsend has use for every one
of her houses either for residence or
buSiness-and will use many more as
soon as they are built.
DIR. Hunt, our popular dentist, arrived
IN town today and left again for Coupe
VILE where he will be few days. He
requests the statement that he will be in
Port Townsend again on Tuesday next,
Oct. I'd, to remain several days and at
tend to business in his line
Anderson & Co. evidently intend 10
have the restaurant and lodging bust
ness, started by them in the Newton cor
ner building carried on III first-class
style. Their work is being well done,
and the enlarging and repairing of the
building makes it almost new. Their
dining apartment looks clean, roomy
and attractive.
An important addition TO our town is
noted in the new residence of DR.. G. W.
Hunt, about to be erected DIR. Hunt
purchased several acres in the Petty
grove place, bordering on the Port Dis
covery road, just out of the edge of town,
where he will erect handsome residence
preparatory to bringing his family here
to reside permanently. We are glad to
chronicle such improvements, and TO
welcome such desirable citizens. Dr.
Hunt has built up lucrative practice
in this vicinity, in the line c. dentistry.
and he deserves all the patronage he
A2ts, too.
Nh j. L. Peterson, our merchant tai
lor, has been having neat and showy
sign painted over the front door of his
establishment 80 BY the way, we noticed
him unpacking one of those splendid
Eldredge sewing machines yesterday
They work like charm, and are just the
thing for new beginners besides, because
when they are run backwards orreversed
no harm is done. They represent the
latest and best improvements in
this line. Mr.. Peterson received half a
dozen of them, and will have ON the next
steamer lot of the famous Domestic
machines. Read his advertisement.
1t is thought proper to notice the un-
favorable aspect of our streets i'll some
places with reference to unsightly OBJ
| structions. OF course the fact of so much
building and improvements being in
progress accounts for much of the litter
and trash that can be seen on our mu-
nicipal highways; but that is no excuse
for letting piles of cordwood, drygoods
| boxes, &c, cucumber the streets from
| day to day and from week to week. 1t
is time Port Townsend was beginning to
spruce up in the matter of appearance.
We have new buildings going up and old
ones being repaired and improved; in
fact there is general air of prosperity
about the place; strangers are coming in
| (many with the means and inclination to
settle among US and add much to our
wealth. and it is very desirable that they
be encouraged in every possible way-to
say nothing of the satisfaction our own
citizens would feel to always see their
town neat and tidy. Let there be little
more strict rule observed hereafter in
| this matter. Let the streets be kept in
company trim" all the time. We will
thus present additional attractions to
home seekers. Port Townsend has every
advantage in the way of favorable site
upon which to maintain the cleanest,
healthiest aud prettiest town or city on
| Puget Sound. Besides this we begin to
feel our OATS" and ought to show it in
| other ways besides the erection of new
and costly houses for residences and
business purposes.
