structure back of Weymouth's black

There is q great deal of dissatisfac-
tisn with the service of the electric
light company in this city. The power
is not sufficient to furnish the lights
already required and ordered. We IN
derstand that there is a petition before
the council asking franchise for another
company, composed of local capitalists.

property on Water street known as the

During November We bad great deal
of very nice weather. There was more
sunshiny weather than cloudy. The
rainy days were not more than seven,
and on some OF those there was rain for
only @ short time. For one whole week
the mountain scenery was grandly beau
tiful. No other place on the Sound can
compare with Port Townsend for fine
weather. To-day. Dec. 1st, is balmy,
like May day.
The city council has instructed the
health officer, DIR. Harrison, TO inspect
all passenger vessels coming from Seat
tie and Tacoma, as precaution against
smallpox. The sam OF three dollars
per day will be paid for this service. 1t
is understood by the council that on ap-
plication to the Surgeon General Of
Washington this service can be ordered
from the government health officer, and
the expense saved the city. This will
probably be done.
or how many counties in the Territory
can you name the county seats? Try 1t.
Get some one to name the eouBties; or
what is better, give tho names OF the
counties yourself and along with them
the county seat We venture the asser-
! ton that there is not q person in Port
Townsend or in Jefferson county who
can name the counties and the county
seats in the Territory, or even name the
county seats as the name OF the counties
are called by some one else.

| feature is to be a crystal saloon on the
! hurricane deck, 200 feet long, heated by
| steam, SO that the passengers can prom
| enade under cover and in comfort, and
still enjoy a magnificent view OF the
scenery. The steamer will run about
| four months, and she will make two
round trips per month.
