from Pacific, arrived on the field O.
legislative duty last Tuesday, apd
not finding any of his confreres a
their posts, took trip to Portland
a. q pastiine. II all the member.
are as prompt and wide awake al
Mr. Bowen, there will he marked
improvement in the session of this
Winter.
Another gale swept over this place
Sunday night, between the hours oil
nine and twelve, which almos,
equalled in severity the blow OF last
week. The Sigual Office reports The
velocity OF the wind at % miles. Nc
damage was done 50 far as We car
hear. except to the telegraph which
was blown down in all directions
"s we'll M a few hundred feet of rail
ing on Long Bridge.
II would seem that the citizens Of
the Westside are reversing the popu
lar sbibboletb, "The Gu nese mus,
20" from the very significant fac,
that one OF the neat private dwell
lings in that lively suburb has been
rented TO the heathens. A number
Of Chinese are also engaged in clear
ing n tract Of land on the hill, wheth
er to be utilized by themselves OF
not We have not learned.
All those in want of fine suits OF
clothes made from the best goods
and warranted to fit, will do we'll to
call on Mr.. q. A. Georke, whose ad.
vertisement appears elsewhere in
this issue. Mr. Georke has been in
Olympia quite long enough to estab-
i'sh his reputation as q frst-class
cutter and filter and we'll deserves
tho patronage of our citizens. Holi-
day suits will he made q specially
md orders should be left without de-
lay. Remember the place, next door
TO Wells, Fargo Il Co.'S express
office.
Tho Oshanty Club. as its name
indicates, is nm association of odd
fcllows-odd in many particulars.
As IN instance Of their eccentricity.
we note that their clock. n marine
,ine.piece that will run in any posi-
lion. is firmly screwed to the ceiling
Of their nsscnbly-room and is wound
up and set with q long pole.
Whether the boys stand on their
heads to tel; the hour, or use mir
rows to reflect the dial, was not ex-
planned to us, the secret workings of
tho club being shrouded in an i'm
penetrable mystery.
by an advertisement in another
column, it will be seen that MIR. d.
n. Page has reopened the Columbia
Fish Market. on Main street between
Fifth and Sixth. He has full as
sortment Of all the var cites of the
edible fnny tribe usually found in
such places. Columbia river stur-
geon will be received in daily ship
menis 20 that consumers can always
DO sure Of finding fresh supplies Of
that delicious article. Oysters and
clans will also be kept in their sea-
son. The we'll known business in
tsgiity Of Mr.. Page is a sufficient
guaranty. and be bespeak for him q
liberal patronage.
The writer, by invitation Of the
O'Shaniy Club Orchestra, was pre-.
sent the other evening at one Of ito
rshearsals. The proficiency attained
by tho members during the short
time they have been practicing,
would lie wonderful. were it not
true that some Of the leading in
s'ruments are in the hands of per
sons Of quite as much skill as the or
binary professional musician, and oil
have had some previous practice and
considerable knowledge OF harmony
and time. The rendition OF se!ec.
lions from (" Martha" were specially
appreciated by the audience OF one,
and the ever.sweet notes of that
old ballad Last Rose of
SUMNER" received his hearty encore.
The new orchestra would be credit
To any city, and their concert week
from tonight should be made a
rousing benefit.
