establishment OF q semi-monthly SER

and 4 monthly service between Sitka
and ounalsska. touching as important
points es rsais. The service should be
between Seattle and sitka. All the
Alaskan trade which under present ar
rAnRsments goes 10 Portland and San
Francisco could DO concentrated here.
A good sea going steamer woald easily
make two trips per mouth between this
place and Sitks, carrying beth ways all
freight and passengers between the two
points and intermediate stations. II

no good reason Of which We are aware
Why Seattle should not become and re-

in the population aud trade Of that
country in the immediate future. II

DAMAGES ny raE SNOW.

Yesterday morning by daylight from
Is inches TO two feet Of snow covered
the surface OF the ground and roofs Of
houses throughout the city. and IL be.
came evident that the SNOW must be re-
moved from the roofs or serious dam
age would result. In conscq aence,
shovels and men 20 handle them we're
In demand all day. But few buildines
gave way sndsr the pressure. The most
serious damage was done by the caving
In Of Anthony Holsaes' blacksmith shop
AZ the foot OF Columbia street. In this
shop was the frame Of an iron steamer,
all in place, and partly sheAthed. The
falling timbers bent the frames Of the
beat out Of shape. and damaged her to
the extent OF two or three hundred dol
lara.
The roof OF the spring Hill Water
Company's Office also caved In, bot liz
tie damage resulted.
The Immense weight on top Of the
Marshall block started the roof Of that
bsiidinc. but the snow was removed be-
fore serious injuries resulted. Several
other small buildings caved In. but the
iess vas so slight that Il Ia hardly wer-
thy Of notice.
A Chinaman employed In shoveling
snow from the roof of Wells, Fargo 4
Goa Office fell through q skyiight,
taking the sash and half a ton or less Of
snow down into the building with him.
The outfit struck on desk used by An-
drew Chilberg. and the snov and siush
ruined quite number OF valuable pa
pers aud books for him.
The telegraph lines are still down,
having been broken In several places by
falling limbs between Seattle and Puy-
allap. and .selegraphic communication

The shutting OF OF street cars Is an In
convenience and loss to the company,

"Ef you put broom in de cornder always

This was queer statement, in the opinion
Of the market men, and, the idea being ridi-

whom he called Dick, whereupon Dick en-
Enthusiastically indorsed his"old partner by de-
claring:
"Unk Billy is talkin' do right sort er talk,

wos spoke, Whatever you do, doan come to
my house an set broom up de wrong way.

Dick further strengthened his testimony on
the broom question by saying: "Ef you
think dis amt de truf doan let man make
pass at you wild broom what been settin' up

Near twenty years have passed between
The time saw you last, old friend.
love to think that at my end
You may be present, generous one,
That gave until your ull was gone,
And filled again your good quart pouch
For march, for battle, for the couch.
OF all the friends I've known or seen,
None was your better, old canteen.
Dost recollect, when we held the bridge,
When Hayniman crept DER the ridge,
Crushed by a sword blow in the head9
How kind you were, for when he said
That he was thirsty, all you had
You gave In welcome, and were glad
That you could ease his thirst. We sighed
At his misfortune Well he died.
Much of the wars grief have we seen,
You and mysef, my old canteen.
we'll know when saw you first;
had not then been much athirst;
You were respectable looking then:
know was much younger when
graSped you In my hand, and slung
You DER my shoulder; we were yorng.
Moth eaten now's your dusty coat,
And partly rusty Is your throat,
But no new one shall come between
Our old-time love, my good canteen.
You know the men who kissed your lips.
Some died in battle; some in ships
Have ventured far from port; and some
Still wear ths uniform, hear the drum.
Some turned from the good drink you gave
One fills know drnnkard's grave.
Some in the fight fer daily bread
Are quite successful; some are dead.
Few better men were ever seen
Than shared your love. my old canteon.
