iRGUs reporter. 1t is estimated that
the annual value of trade in Port
Townsend exceeds S800,000, and is
steadily growing.
No line of business can be said to
be over done, and all are enjoying a
profitable trade. No better proof of
this assertion can be had than in the
fact that not single failure has oc-
cured during the two years OF de-
preston last past and we cannot
point out prospective one for 1856.
While the country at large has been
suffering with failures and closeness
of money. such has been the char
acter of Port Townsend business that
we can with pride, defy any other
place of similar proportions, having
an equal amount of business to show
up as clean a record.
For the benefit of those who are not
acquainted with Port Townsend we
append list of the business houses,
or rather summary of the trades,
professions and occupations carried
on here, which is thought to be very
near correct. If any have been
omitted it is through inadverteney.

The advent of the new year finds
the ARGUS man in his workship en-
deaVoring to get a good start on the
labor ahead. He realizes that the
record made by this paper during
the past year has surpassed that OF
any previous year of its existence, by
an appreciable showing in compari
son; and, while extending the com
pliments of the season to our many
patrons, we may record a determine
tion to do still better by them ere the
close of another twelve months.
The growth OF the this paper is but
aresult and indication Of the growth
of Port Townsend, and if the public
continue to realize that it is their
paper. and will respond to increased
support by increased value, they will
- more in the good work.
alaIanitZ--is always judged
cablSes3~y tde thnracteE ga me news
paper it supports and sends abroad.
1t is no idle boast to claim that the
fattering opinion prevailing SO
largely of US in the East Is due in a
considerable degree to the showing
made by the ARGUS every week as it
visits nearly every state and territory
in the Union. The proprietor is not
filing his own pockets rapidly, fol
hot IA
much as ne can in safety to the pub
lie for what he receives. The same
amount of labor and ability would
command a large salary on any
metropolitan journal Our policy
has been to build up q great paper
for the people, rather than to use an
outfit Of printing material as a means
OF making money.
Port Townsend starts on the new
year with immeasurably better pros
poets than it had one year ago. Since
that time its public building appro-
priation bill passed congress, and the
close Of 1885 saw the site finally de-
cided upon. Her growth has been
steady and healthful. New en.er
pri5es and new industries have been
inaugurated in our midst, while our
population and property values have
proporti0nately increased. With q
town 1t is as with an individual.
For real, genuine material with which
to go out and successfully measure
swords with the world, give us the
hopeful eman-oHe whose tireless
energy lends q perpetual motor
power to his business or profession:
one whom no misfortune can dis
hearten, whom no adverse circum-
stances can subdUe; one who gets up
after every failure, and always feels
himself match for Fate. Such men
are the Cnes who achieve fame and
fortune. With such q spirit prevail
ing the general public, under such
favorable surroundings. Port Town
send would outstriD all her neigLbors.
Nothing but lack of the proper
unity, energy and wisely directed
plans can possibly prevent our rapid
advancement. Shall We not use The
mems to reach the desired result
We have q clear field ana fair

Hitherto vessels that engaged in
carrying coal and lumber from
Puget Sound were OF the medium
class. Not wishing to underyalue
such ship property mostly owned
here and at San Fransisco. Still it is
well known that good ships received
the best of fright for carrying wheat
and other perishable goods while the
poorer class Of vessels were consider
cd good enough to carry lumber and
coal cargoes. The scarcity OF wheat
charters has brought to cur waters
some of the finest ships Doth Ameri-

ploy for these vessels had been re-
fused them at all ports on the Pacific
coast, their owners we'll know that
they can secure a charter Oh the

On certain street IN Denver is a
stone mansion of surprising elegance,
which, with its grounds, cost nearly
one million dollars. Directly opposite,
on vacant lot, is a tent. boarded up
inside as far as the angle of the roof
The back end of it is pierced with a
stove-pipe and in the front end are a
door and window. In the window
hangs a curtain of costly lace and in
the tent is a piano of exquisite tone.
The tent itself did not cost twenty dol
lars. The piano, upholstery and fur
niture inside are said to have cost over
three thousand dollars. The owner,
planted his tent here over twentyf ye
years ago, and is one OF the moderately
successful Colorado miners, being
worth about fifty thousand dollars. He
prefers his tent to any dwelling house,
and says he would not exchange it for

PORT TOWNSEND.
What it Has Done and is Row Doing
OUR NEW YEAR PEN PICTURE.

But FURNISHED with the hopes OF
future greatness, and shining with
conspicuous features of accomplished
progress. we are gifted, perhaps,
with the necromancer vision when we
fondly consider our chosen home and
send greeting to those whose ac-
quaintance we hope to make through
the medium Of a cheerful pen pic
ture.
It is a pleaaant place to look upon
for the first time and the tourist as
well as the homeseeker almost invar
iably utters an ejaculation Of joyful
surprise when from the steamers
deck, it first reveals itself, costly re
posing a southern slope of the pen
insula, overlooking the shining still
waters Of Port Townsend bay.
Perchance dozen ships lie Iazi!y
IN the harbor, the sunlight glintine
and sparkling on their taper spar:
and snowy sails. The Jack tarS are
heaving up anchor and their merry
| chorus resounding over the water is
rich music indeed to the Iandsmar
who has heard it before only in ina
gination and in story. The creak
ing of the chains and the putting and
whistling of the powerful tug along
side are incidents not easily oblitera-
ted from the memory.
Unless the ire of Jupiter Pluvius
has been aroused the blue sky enveI-
ops horizon whose foreground is
made up of snow capped peaks or
steel blue leagues of mountain sides
The caVernOus recesSes and noun
tain gOrges seem to be distant but
few hours ride, and yet a score OF
miles intervene before you and the
base Of the nearest range; while the
lofty crowns of Mt. Baker and
Rainier and the hest of less celebrat-
ed peaks are clearly visible at a dis
tance of a hundred miles or more.
Snow and ice are always visible
summer and winter but scarcely ever
beneath the feet.
1t is now December and the resi-
dence portion OF Port Townsend, as
well as the streets and hillsides are
resplendent in carpet of living green.
This is fianked farther back by the
darker foliage of the fir and spruce
whose leaves are u gauntlet of def
ance to the blasts of our semi tropi-
cal winter. A bright and sunny view
in winter, tits still more attractive III
summer and there are few of us who
cannot each day discover some hith-
erto unnoticed phase.
Port Townsend is young, yet there
are men and women whose thirty five
years o. life have all been spent
here. Many a city in the middle
states has been born and now rejoices
IN scores OF thousands OF people, that
was not thought of when Port Town
send was laid out In 1880 1T had
only about a thousand inhabitants,
now 1t will show 1000 or more, and
Is, as we shall chow you. steadily
aSd perceptipfy growing.
Among the elements OF thrift and
means Of development and expansion,
there are none of more vital i'm
portance than the lines of steamers
and other conveyances diyerging IL
all directions from Port Townsend.
TO be sure we have no railroad but
we have twice the facilities for travel
and communication that many grow
ing railroad towns have.
We enumerate as follows:

This is what Frank j. Parker. edi-
ter Of the Walla Statesman. the lead
ing democratic paper Of eastern

Cleveland: Wers our delegate to
Congress more familiar with the Ter
ritory, and had not his unlocked for
election so enlarged the scope Of his
comprehension likewise his head so
that ne IS unable TO contemplate the
insignificant wants OF the common
people" You would not have been mis-

The OregOnidR, as usual, leads of
the list of newspaper holiday edi-
tons of the northwest by making its
own New Year number a mammoth
twenty page aggregation of stat'sti-
cal, descriptive and historical matter.
1t not only outdoss everything else
in nswspaperdom in Oregon and
Washington, but surpasses the best
efforts of the fraternity in California,
and compares favorably with the
great journals OF leading eastern
cities. All the newspaper boys have
learned long since to look upon the
Oregonian in open mouthed wonder
as they used to contemplate their
big brothers capable of feats Of dar-
ing skill beyond description. They
can stand back and admire or envy,
just as fancy prompts, but in either
case the big paper is the ''bo5s." Its
fearlessness and ability compel our
admiration, even though we do not
always endorse its course. It is the
only paper OF the northwest strong
enough to defy popular local opinion
on any great issue and survive In
this sense it is the only really great
journal in the country.

In the line OF public institutions,
Port Townsend has the patronage
derived from and resulting from the
following: Fort Townsend, four
miles distant, with two companies Of
men and the usual staff OF officers.
This IS the direct means OF adding to
our business not less than $4,000 per
arnum at the present time and pro
portionutely more according TO the
number il the garrison.
The I. S Marine Hospital, acc0mo-
dates about 20 patients on an average
| throughout the year and costs the
government about $4,000 per annum
to maintain.
The Custom house employs about
thirty men and of these about one
half live at Port Townsend. The ex-
pense5 OF collecting the revenue are
considerable and perhaps not less
than $4,000 Of this Is annually dis
6ursed and expended in Port Town
