a BUNCH OF KEYs.-TheSa San Francisco
Chronicle, of May 20, contains the fol-
lowing: "a Bunch of Keys is crowding
the Bush Street Theatre every night.
and the audience do not seem to enjoy it
one whit less than before. OF all those
pieces "A Bunch of Keys is long way
the best in plot, character, and especially
in the selections of music, which are very
prettily sung by the present company.
This is proved by the simple fact that
even two or three visits do not exhaust
its entertaining features. Standing room
only will be the announcement for the
week" This is first-class comedy
company, and meets with hearty recep-
ton wherever they go. They will appear
at Learned's Opera House next Wednes-
day, June oath.
A NEEDED IMPRovEMENT.-We call
the attention of the county commissioners
in general and the road supervisor in
particular to the inconvenient and
dangerous grade OF the county road at
the end of Washington Street, where it
descends the bluff to the beach in front
o Hastings lagoon. The cut through
the bluff is just wide enough for single
te am, and this narrow width is continued
to the beach, leaving very hard road
for horses to haul up vehicles, and very
d lngerous road for skittish or balky
horse to take a carriage down. The
road should be widened and the top of
the hill lowered TO make an easy grade,
and the material removed should be run
down on the fat and thus make a good
road where carriages can pass each other
conveniently and balky horses have no
inducement to bolt down the embank
ment. This county road was laid out
to pass over the bluff west of the
lagoon and down by Judge Briggs
house, and if it was finished 1t would be
a great convenience and make a fne
DRIVE, over which visitors could be taken
to view the tine scenery and beautiful
country around Port Townsend. We
have any quantity OF excellent roads ION
paper) filed away in the auditors Office,
but very few practical ones. II the
county commissioners will at once order
this Washington street road, or so much
Of i as extends from the top of the hill
to the beach, to be widened and properly
graded, they will do well. The age of
COW paths and horse trails has gone by
We need roads, and good, safe ones
Wake up, Mr.. Road Supervisor, and get
ont your road scrapers. Remember,
election Is close at hand and the people
are getting tired OF eye servants.
