Just now when there is urgent
need of public spirited efforts to con-
solidate trade aud postal facilities at
Port Townsend, there are loud COM
plants from citizens that the board
of trade is inactive. 1t may be we'll
enough to remind some of our citi-
zens who find so much fault that the
board of trade is at present inactive
because business men as a rule have
not done their duty by it. The bur-
den and expense has fallen upon a
few, and those few are tired trying to
do for the whole public and foot the
bills out of their own pockets; We
are gratified to note that some who
have had only disparaging words
heretofore for the board of trade are
among the first TO feel and express
desire that its potent labors may not
be discontinued; it may serve to open
the way for a better understanding
and more united action hereafter. A
proposition is being discussed, and is
meeting with general favor, to reduce
the admission fee and quarterly dues
to nominal sums, in the hope of Sc
curing the cooperation of every bust
ness man in town. The officers of
the board are more than willing to
do their full share, but they are la

sum of 100000, or so much thereof
IS may be necessary, 10 defray the

Seattle papers are Dragging be-
cause the Alaska steamers now sail
ironrthere-aLd We do not blame
them, but merely refer to this to show
that our sister town is always up and
doing for No. 1. Probably when a
semi monthly mail is granted from
Puget Sound to Alaskan ports there
will be an effort to have the route
terminate at Seattle, even though it
involves duplicating mails over a
daily line from Seattle to Port Town
send. One reason alleged for the
change in the route, by which steam
srs now sail from Seattle is that Port
Townsend merchants have antagon
ized the Pacific Coast S. S. Co.
through importing their goods by
sail vessels. The merchants claim
they are obliged to protect them
selves from exorbitant wharf charges
and 30 it goes. One of the chief
functions of q board of trade is to
devise ways and means of avoiding
these complications that result in
serious public loss-of arbitrating
differences and harmonizing discord
ant element foI common good; and
this is a potent reason why the
board of trade should contain re-
preventative of every business in the
town. Other towns are reaching out
and are busying themselves aggres
sively for the Capitalization of trade

A Ghas;IY Plaster Cast.

There is curious object of interest in
the Agiers museum CHASTITY plaster
cast of the Christian martyr Geronimo,
writhing in the agony of death. Tradi-
ton has for 300 years told the story of
the Moorish lad who, coming Under the
influence Of Spanish missionary monks,
became Christian and a saint in all
but faith. He abjured she faith, it was
said, for brief moment under the pres
sure of bitter persecution and slavery
but returned to it with new zeal and
proved it in tho end by heroic and
horrible death-that of being thrown
alive with his hands tied behind him,
nto block of liquid concrete, which
was afterward built into wall Of one of
the outlying forts near the city. Such
was the tradition, singularly and liter
ally true in the minutest details, as was
proved in 1858, when part of the Fort
des Vingtquatre Heures was demolished,
and block of concrete found containing
the accurate impression of the writhing
body, face downward, and the hands
tied with cords behind the back.
The block itself was claimed by the
church, and deposited with great honor
in what used to be a Mohammedan
mosque, but is now the Roman Catholic
Cathedral of the town. Argonau.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

The greatest evils in life have had
their rise from something which was
thought OF too little Importance to be
attended to.
Conquer thysolf. Till thou hast done
that, thou art slave, for it is almost as
well for thee to be in subsection to
another's appetite as thy own.
Activity, like zeal, is oaly valuable as
it is applied; but most people bestow
their praise on the quality and give lit,
tie heed to the purposes 70 which it is
directed.
The growth of the personal character
is largely nodded by the gradual recog-
milton Of moral laws, by the sense of the
mystery evolved in the inevitable strug-
gle between duty and pleasure.
Many persons fancy themselves
friendly when they are only officious.
They counsel not so much that you
should become wise as that they
should be recognized as teachers of wis
dom
Infinite toll would not enable you to
sweep away mist; but, by ascending a
little, you may often overlook it alto
gethcr. So it is with our moral i'm
provements; we wrestle flercely with a
vicious habit, which could have no hold
upon us if we ascend into higher at
mosphere.

been ten times that the ground has been

snow; in 1867, three and one quarter
inches; in 1872, three inches; in March,
1872, five and one-half inches; in 1875,
three inches; the heaviest snow thai has
ever before fallen was in 1877, when eight
inches fell in January, 1882, three inches
fell, and in November Of the same year
four inches fell on the 18th Of February,
1885, three inch snow covered thu
