Condition OF the Railroads

The Tacoma Ledger of Sunday morn
ing says: The transfer OF trains at ka-
lama is no child's play at present and
though the ferry continues to make a
landing daily at each side it is only after
much hard work and considerable delay.
During yesterday heavy snow storm
was falling all day on the switchback
and trains can only run as far as Weston.
At Portland the steamer Mountain
Queen is trying to open the Willamette
river and the management entertain
strong hopes that it will succeed in
which case the delayed freight will be-
gin pouring into the warehouses in this
city at a great rate. The Colum bia
river at Pasco is yet also closed with ice.

A Building Association.

The ARGUS suggests the praeticability
and Importance of the organization of
loan and building association in Port
Townsend. Such an organization would
add largely 10 the prosperity and up
building of the town and secure perma-
ment residents of many that it other
wise should not. Other towns have
found them advantageous, not only to
settlers and towns, but profitable to the
members. There is now scarcity of
houses, and during the coming season
this is likely to increase. There are
always more or less working people who
are able to purchase lots, but not able to
erect homes on them at once, and are
compelled to expend as much for rent
as would build a comfortable house if
placed in that direction in installmens.

Recommendations do not count much in

not been in the penitentiary can get an
Endorsement from his congressman or
senator. and the majority of public men
are like Tom Corwin Corwin WAS too
good natured to refuse anything Of any
man who asked it. and he Endorsed the
applications Of all who cane to him. At
last he was appointed secretary Of the
treasury, and these Endorsements began
to come in One day man whom he did
remember called upon him in the treasury
department and asked for a position.
Corwin asked the man If he had any in
dorsements He said that he had the best
in the world. and Corwin reached out his
hand for them. He opened the first paper
he touched, and it was a letter to William
NJ. Meredith, who had been secretary Of
tho treasury before Corwin, and it strongly
Endorsed the bearer for position. 1t was
signed by Corwin's unmistakable auto.
graph. and as he read it his dark face
twitched. At last he looked up. "And
