Last week the town was so dead
there was nothing for the papers.
This week is little more fruitful.
The wife Of Cyril Ward, Of this
place, died last Sunday, after a few
days sickness, and was buried here the
following day.
Last Saturday, whilst ont riding,
Mr.. Ames, an old resident OF this coun-
ty, had the misfortune to fall from his
horse, as the animal stumbled, and
broke his collar-bonc.
Mr.. Johnston, saloon keeper here,
took some fine cattle to Tacoma yes
terday. We hear that on his return
he will put in large supply OF liquor
and throw open the doors of the saloon
again.
Mr.. Nowy is busy in his new bust
ness here. He keeps good articles at
reasonable prices, and we hope the
public will transfer their patronage
from our late merchant, Saltonstall, to
the present one.
The town is very quiet More than
half the population are gone, some to
Seatco, but most of them to the Puy-
allup hop-feld. Mr.. Agnew We hear

Mr.. w. II. Roberts says that the
STANDARD was mistaken in attributine
to him Auditorial aspirations, but that
he did want to 60 to the Territorial
Convention as delegate. A spirit Of
fairness impels us to set the matter
right. Doubtless the intensity Of his
desire to act in Il representative capac.
ity led to very natural belief that he
aspired to gather in the county office
as well. Observation has shown that
candidates are the worst possible
judges of their own fitness for any
given position.

THERE is no diminution in the num-
Der Of candidates for the county off
ces. Neither party will experience
the slightest trouble for the want OF
material from which to make selec-
ton, and none of the unchosen aspir.
ants seem to have any doubt OF the
result provided they receive nomin-
alton. 1t is only those who have been
placed on the ticket set up fortnight
ago who are filed with grave misgiv-
ings as to their capability and agoniz-
ing doubts Of future possibilities.

SINCE the rain, the mists in a great
measure have cleared away. At least,
the smoke has disappeared; the
"mist" still remains in the minds OF
many politicians, who are anxiously
awaiting the results OF the next two
months agitation. A candidate re.
marked the other day that he wished
he knew OF some Rip Van Wrinkle pc.
ton that would bring oblivion sill the
ordeal is past.

ton may think that the three weeks
that will intervene before the county
convention meets, is long time to be
kept in suspense; but if they can only
imagine the tribulation OF those Re.

ted and are now under FIRE. they will
be c0mforted.

THE remains brought up by the

WHAT travesty on popular govern
ment is afforded by the Republican
primary of this precinct, which elected
several delegates who possessed lit
tie if any interest in our local affairs
political or otherwise, defeating men
who had stood by the party and con-
tributed OF their time, talents and
means, 10 advance every object oi
public benefit. One Of the non-tax-
ing delegates became likewise non
resident before the convention was
held, and cast her vote by proxy.
Still, if the Republicans are satisfied.
We presume We should be content, es-
pecially as such conioundcd foolish
ness improves the prospect OF Demo-
cratic success.
