son is one of the leading physicians o
t the territory. He came from Indian
some twelve or fifteen years ago, an,
was in government employ for time Of
a aa Indian reservation, after which h
, settled in Port Townsend where he ha
grown into an immense practice. Lat
terly, especially, the doctor has ha
= most marvellous success in the treatmer
I of critical cases. 1t is difficult to sc
! how he can afford to acceptsthe positio
s of health officer here-especially if h
n has to perform its duties himself, wit

i However, on the score of giving ever,
e thing to the democrats under demo

It should have the office. as he seems to |
n the only physician or democratic poll
s ical faith in town. He is also the SEMI
e of the local medical fraternity by reaso
r of the number of years of his residen'
y here, and unquestion nably stands at Il
t head by reason of professional eminen'
is and standing.
