TERRITORIAL ITEMS.

Seventh Day Adventists of Seattle
have leased a storeroom and will hold
regular services hereafter.
There is quite a revival in the real
estate business in Walla Walla and
Umatilla counties, caused by immi-
grant purchases and investments on
the part of citizens.
The Puget Sound pipe company, of
Olympia, has secured contract for
supplying A. Barclay, of Los Angeles,
California, with large amount of
their water water pipe which will be

The total cash value of all property
assessed in Spokane county, is $685.
$40. Grand total tax, $52,273.55.
Spokane Falls, proportion of valuations
and taxes is more than one-third of the
amount OF the entire county.
The Spokane Falls Chronicle fears
that the multitude of laboring people
attracted to that city by the construc-
ton OF two new railroads and the city
building boom will suffer this season
unless they disperse to other points
for the winter.
On last Saturday, the 23d ult.,
ground was broken for the new Gov
ernment building at Port Townsend
for which Congress has appropriated
$4,000. Brass bands played, orators
made themselves hoarse and there
were general congratulations over the
first appropriation for Puget Sound
that has ever been made to stick.
Let it be recorded that on this, 2Sth
day OF October, John Y. Collins
brought to the Office of the Whatcom
Rereilie quart of ripe strawberries,
grown in his garden in that city. The
first homegrown strawberries were
put upon the market at Whatcom on
the first day of June, and every day
since Strawberries could be gathered
from some one of the gardens in that
city. Mr.. Collins intimates that he
will have strawberries growing in the
open air on Christmas day.
A peculiar kind of fish has been
found in Lake Whatcom. The spec
linens that have been exhibited are
about eight inches in length, red in
color, and have never been known to
take the hook. At this season of the
year they are quite numerous in the
creeks and streams leading into the
lake, and are seen only at this season
OF the year. The specimens obtained
will be forwarded to the Smithsonian
Institute, in order that their species
may be determined.
Superintendent Eells, of the Puyal-
lup Indian Agency, thus alludes in
the Tacoma Telegraph, to the status of
the lands patented to the Indians by
the Government. "The respective
tracts and parcels of land are granted
the Indians by a patent from the
United States government. They are
inalienable, and the Indians cannot
sell or lease to white man any por-
ton OF the land. They can, however,
lease their tracts to each other not ex-
ceeding term of two years, but cam
not sell to one another. Should
Washington Territory become State
the legislature may pass an act remov-
ing these restrictions and allowing the
Indians to dispose of their lands at
their own pleasure, but before they
can sell, the actof the legislature must
be confirmed by congress. Until then
these lands cannot be purchased or
occupied by white people,"

Rice b. Shelton VS.. J. NJ. Robinson,
N. S. Porter and j. w. Robinson, law
partners, under the firm name of Rob
inson, Porter & Robinson; action for
damages in failing to make proper
attachment on the property of Shelton
e. Company, in September, 1884. 1t
appears that in September, 1884, the
plaintiff caused to be placed in the
hands of defendants as attorneys a de-
mand for more than $4,000 against the
partnership of Shelton & Company,
then doing business as stationers in
Olympia, with directions to sue out an
attachment on the property OF Shelton
& Company. This the defendants un-
dertook to do. They secured bond,
filed it, with the affidavit for the writ
with the Clerk, and caused the Clerk to
issue the writ at once and before he
had sufficient time to properly issue
summons in the action, which he did,
and the attorneys took the writ to and
placed it in the hands of the Sheriff,
who Immediately seized all of Shelton's
property. Sheltons then filed their
petition and proceeded to take the
benefit of the insolvency statute for
the benefit of all their creditors, but
this proceeding on their part would
not effect the prior attachment OF X.
B. Shelton if otherwise valid. But the
attorney of the Sheltons, C. w. Hart
man, moved the Court to dissolve the
attachment of r. B. Shelton, on the
ground that it having been issued be-
fore summons in the action, that is be-
fore the action was commenced, was
void. After argument the Court sus-

THAT DAY WE GRADUATED.

We've had some nrst-class fruitase. boys,
Mid all tho bad pears in our baskets,
Ana snsre are several jswslsS soys
While silver morning bells will chime
Some certain tones that neer we're mated
From that unprecedented time
That grand old day we graduated!
It was a sheaf OF hopes and fears;
A fate that came, close covered, to Us;
1t was the last day of four years
That were to build up or undo us;
The hour we wished and dreaded most,
From which we shrunk. for which ~
That inward fear and outward boast
That fine old day we graduated!
A thousand heads and hearts were there.
With more or less dscernment gifted;
Our enemies with hopeful stare.
Our friends with look OF Kindness lifted.
We saw gay chaplets. wondering whom
To crown their brilliant lives were fated;
Bouquets looked puzzled mid their bloom
That fragrant day we graduated!
And Beauty held precious prize
OF sm les for our intense oblations
And looked from many.colOred eyes
Made quizzical by old firtations;
And Learning glanced MS through and
with cold astuteness that we hated;
We knew how much we never knew
That trying day we graduated!
We rose with super student care.
Brmful OF fears and informatiou;
We had about ten minutes there
To put four wears In one GRAFTON.
A Thousand judgments on our lives
From that important hour wore datedt
How queer that one OF us survives
That iateful day we graduated!
How all the sad uneasy past
Was wrenched from History's possession,
In cartr dyes of periods cast
And fired in rounds of quick succession!
Rights winsome look, Wrongs loathsome
shape,
Were unequivooallv stated;
And lucky that which could escape
Us all-that day we graduated!
And when our guns were at full play,
As DER the creaking stage we hauled them
Some first class words got strayed away
And would not come back when we called
them;
We had to grope and stumble round
just where our stvle was most inflated;
Humility and nerve, we found
Were trumps that day we graduated!
All me! it was all bitter-sweet-
That time of music. flowers aud splendor;
The future life we marched to meet.
The past, with memories rich and tender.
A somber fragrance filled the air
"A mournful jOy, ne er duplicated;
Both night and morning fingered there,

And when Good bye" came. grimly sure,
And handed us our hands at parting,
