OF the new building of which note is
made elsewhere.
Mr.. Huden has just received and set
up complete sola-making apparatus,
of much greater capacity than that
destroyed by fire several months ago.
He will hereafter be able to supply all
orders, and as his products bear very
high reputation, this industry is one
which will doubtless constitute a per-
manent factor of local prosperity.
Mr.. Thomas II. Cavanaugh, editor
OF the Partisan, had the index finger
OF his left hand badly mashed yester-
day while assisting in placing a heavy
imposing-stone in its frame. The
wound is OF course very painful, and
may keep Tom awake o nights, but he
will doubtless be able to get along by
writing his editorials with his right
hand for awhile.
The bids for printing the assess
ment blanks for the current year were
opened to-day by the Territorial Audi
tor and the contract was awarded to
Thomas II. Cavanaugh. His bid was
for Detail Lists 1925 per thousand,
and for Assessment Rolls 80 cents per
quire, bound. The only competing
bid WAS submitted by Mr.. J. N. Gale,
who proposed to print the Lists at
$3.50 and the Rolls at 50 cents per
quire.
Messrs. Hester & Co. have Just
opened what may be properly de-
nominated the uptown drug and
jewelry store, in the building formerly
occupied by Mr.. O'Connor. The
building has been transferred into
an exceedingly neat business stand,
and as the stock is all new, it makes
very creditable showing for the affa-
bic gentlemen who conduct it. Re-
pairing of watches and jewelry will be
a specially of the new firm, in which
they will guarantee good work prompt
ly done.
The death of Mr.. Hugh Cornell,
which occurred at Tumwater on the
