From Tuesday 'sDaiIy-
Streets are cetting dry again.


4 coal mine Is likely TO be opened and
operated near lake Whatcom.
Sale of the wrecked bark Lizzie
Marshall and her boats, at Quincy street
wharf tomorrow. Read the advertise
ment.
Settlers in Pacific county, on the pen
insuIa between the ocean and Shoalwater
bay, are going into cranberry culture on
a large scale
Capt Gilbert's new house on the hill
is nearly completed, and is an ornament
to that part of town Its owner Is en-
terprisino and Is not afraid to invest his
money.
Don't forget the I. o. C. f. open
meeting and Grand Councillor Burtion's
lecture this evening. No charge for ad-
mission, no collection, and nobody hur
if you are not satisfied Come, every
body.
And now the gratifying announcement
is made that our saw mill Will start up
next Monday. 1t Will sound quite nat
ural to hear the buzz of machinery and
screech of the whistle in that institution
again.
The roof on the bank building seems
to be deficient,as it as been leaking bad
". 1t is shame to have such nice
plastering spoiled and the health Of in
mates endangered so by leaky roof
and on such fine building, too.
1t is said President Arthur is mem
Der of the A 0. U. w. The fears enter
tanned by members of that order in con-
nection with possible assassination of
the head of the nation are based upon
the probability of having to pay dollar
each to meet the loss.
An informal meeting OF the committee
on permanent organization of the Board
of Trade was held last evening. An
other meeting will be held again soon,
and the organization will be completed
at d very early date thereafter. Our citi-
zens are in earnest about this matter.
And now some people are finding fault
because brriser Sullivan received more
money last year for punching other peop-
les noses than President Arthur received
for misunderstanding the affairs of the
nation. There is no use talking, talent
will tell; and then Arthur's fishing ex-
cursions didn't involve near the exertion
that Sullivan had to undergo.
The crew of the wrecked bark Lizzie
Marshall are all in town boarding at the
Cosmopolitan. They are quite destitute,
having not so much as q change of
clothing and barely money enough to
pay weeks board. 1t would be a good
time for some of our townspeople to
show their generosity. The smallest
favors would be thankfully received by
these unfortunate men, we are told, and
donations bestowed upon them would
not be amiss. Anything left at this office
will be properly applied as intended
While in Victoria yesterday we had
the pleasure of chat with Hon. Allen
Francis, q. s. Consul. That gentle
man of course feels gratified to be pro-
NOTED, yet feels 10th to sever his pleas
ant business and social relations with the
| Victoria people. He has resided in Vic
toria, and held official position there. al
most uninterruptedly for the past TWEEN
ty years. The people Of Victoria, too,
are very sorry to part with such avalued
friend. They have signed very strong
protests against Mr.. Francis transfer to
st. Thomas. While IN Mr.. +. .ncis' of
ice he related to us the story Of how he
came to start the Daily Journal, the first
daily paper ever published in Illinois,
which was started in 1916, during the
Mexican war. Its founder also invent
ed cylinder printing press soon after,
one of which is in use yet.
Grand Councillor, CO Burton, of the
[. o. G. F., instituted Victoria Council,
No 1, of that order, in the city of Vic.
toria last evening, assisted by Allen
Weir, Deputy G.. c., of this place. Vic
toria Council already numbers 50 mem
bers, and is the largest council of the or
der ever instituted outside of San Fran
cisco and Oakland. 1t has as members
some of the very best people of the city
in which it is located, is ably officered,
and starts out under the most favorable
auspices. 1t Is the first council in
stituted on foreign soil, and the avidity
with which our cousins across the way
are taking hold OF it is very gratifying
The proposition to admit British Col
umbia to the jurisdiction excited quite a
debate in the Grand Council at its last
session held in San Francisco in May,
1888. 1t now seems probable that
British Columbia will furnish three OF
four hundred new members for this or.
der during the coming year. Mr.. Bur
ton will hold an open meeting in Port
Townsend this evening at Good lem
plars' Hall, to which everybody is in-
vited After giving brief talk to the
public he will proceed with private
meeting of Townsend Council.
