A wealthy gentleman visiting Puget
Sound this week was urgently diseouf-
aged against coming to Port Townsend
while he was in Seattle. His suspicious
were aroused, however, and he came
down to have 4 look for himself. The
result was that he became better pleased
with our location for investments than
with any other on the Sound. He is
now getting figures on several pieces of
valuable business property. That he is
willing to plank down fifty thousand
dollars on one particular piece of prop
erty shows what sort of citizen he
would be.
Our item about the new normal col
lege seems to have been misunderstood.
We have been misunderstood so many
times that We have grown extremely
careful; and still, explanations are nee
essary occasionally. We are informed
that the Institution is intended to be en-
tirely non-sectsrian-a fact which we
did not state emphaticaliy enough, it
geems-and that our failure TO connect
the Methodists as we'll as other derom-
nations with it meant that they we're
unfriendly to it. We are glad of an op-
portunity to gllay any such panioky
fears as may have baen aroused, aud to
set the institution right before the pub
lie as far as possible.
