Up Sound ports are unduly anxious
over talk about a syndicate purchasing
the plant of the 2. 5. Iron Go. and re-
moving it from Port Townsend Bay. If
there Is Il solitary reason for removing
that smelling furnace from its present
location, we have yet to hear the star
spangled idiot come forward and ex-
press 1t.
The MillerCoiman murder case went
to the juIy about noon today. Argument
was quite exhaustive, by Prosecuting
Attorney Ronald and I. ]. Humes on
behalf OF the Territory, and j. b. Met.
calfe and j. Rochester on behalf OF the
defendant. Judge Greene's charge to
the jury was highly comphmented on all
sides as being one of the ablest and fair
est ever delivered from the bench.
Sealed proposals are to be received up
to the 18th inst, by E. w. Devoe, super
intendent of construction, for frame
office upon and IL fence around the GUS
tom house grounds. See advertisement
elsewhere. The date limit was adver-
tised for the 25th by inadvertence, aud
on account ot that being Thanksgiving
Day it has been changed to the 18th.
Bidders will bear this in mind and act
accordingly.
Now that Col. Frank J. Parker OF the
Walla Walla Statesman is likely to re-
ceive au Office at the hands of the admin
istration there is no lack of enemies TO
traduce his good name-not because he
is unwor! by, but because they don't want
him to have an Office. Ii the President
exercises his usual good sense he will
ers Whatever may be said about him
he is a credit to the democracy of the
territory
The Hastings Commission House in
this city is doing excellent public service
by buying up crops from outlying dis
tricts. Frank Hastings has recently pur-
chased large quantity of produce in
the 4uiIcine valley, and Morgan & Has
tings intend sending one of their steam
ers to Quilcine Bay every month hereaf-
ter. 1t is to be hoped they may find
their efforts profitable in thus reaching
out after trade. Quilcine farmers now
have to depend almost entirely upon
Port Townsend, since the burning of the
Seabeck mill.
The Oregonian wants to know why
some paper in this territory doesn't rise
in the name of our insane asylum and
protest against the continued publica-
tioa by the Tacoma Ledger of its regular
doses of Tram -Vanderbillion slush. Why.
bless your soul, Harvey, there are lots of
US over here who believe that stuff is
regular correspondence from Steilacoom
to the Ledger, and is sought to be worked
off on an unsugpecting public by Rade-
baugh as eastern production. Others
are inclined to think such view Ebelous
upon the poor helpless insane. DR..
Waughop is not accused of completely
in the matter, in either event.
