We learn from Coupeville that on
Monday night John Robinson's ware.
house collapsed with the weight of pro.
duce thereia. As near as we can learn,
somebody will lose four or five hun.
dred dollars by the accident. There
we're at the time several tons of hay in
the warehouse, besides large lot of
| other produce.

had, and number Of Port Townsend
people were there-msrely to enjoy the
fun and talk to the boys.
Mr.. j. E. Ebey, the gentlemanly hotel
keeper and stage driver OF Ebey's land
ing, must be prospering. He has Just
purchased and put on the road a
splendid new spring wagon, with a
cover to protect passengers from the
Inslemency of the weather, and comfort
enough to tempt people to cross the
island merely for the pleasure OF riding
IN 1t. Save us corner, Ellison, we'll he
ever that way soon.
Messrs. L. d. Attridge and r. Delanty,
county commissioners, are both candi-
dates for reelection. They both deserve
reelection. as they have been faithful and
active in the county's interest. Mr..
Andrew Weymouth is a candidate for
the seat made vacant by Al. Plummer's
candidacy for auditor. Mr.. Weymouth
possesses the very best qualifications for
a county commissioners good, squars,
level, business head. He is very popular
and will be elected.

Jefferson county taxpayers will be4nth
to part with AIR. james Seavey. Mr
Seavey has grown gray in tine service of
the county, he ha. served acceptably as
auditor for eighteen years; and, had he
desired it, he could have served as much
longer. He felt uncertain. however,
whether or not he would serve out his
term il elected again. as be is getting
along in years and has great deal on
his hands, hence new candidate was
selected by the republican party. 1t is
gratifying to know that Mr.. Seavey's
successor, Mr.. A. A. Plummer, is worthy
in every respect, and one whom the tax
payers can select for the important posi- |
iion OF county auditor with every assur- |
snce that the Office will be filled as salts |
factorily as it has been in the past. Mr..
Plummer is Jefferson county produo- |
tion-a young man whose clerical |
qualities are firstclass, whose integrity |
is above reproRch, and OF whom Jefferson |
may we'll be proud. He is just |
closing his second term as O member OF
the board Of commissioners, where he
has served with credit to both himself
and his constituents, having been elect |
ed by large majorities. He will have |
heavy vote on the 2nd OF November.

and Capt. Weiss wont to New Westmin-
ster and paid it under protest. Customs

value Of which did not exceed $40. The |

hal. She made the run from Yokohama |
to Cape Flattery in % days. The Cap
