HENRY LANDEs, ESQ, PRESIDENT
PoRT TOWNSEND BOARD OF TRADE:
Dear iSiT:-I am just in receipt of
your favor of the 18th inst 1 beg to
assure you that am not unmindtul
of the necessity of fortifying the en-
trance to the Sound. This will ap-
pear from q speech made by me upon
the subject OF Notifications and their
armament July %, 1856, n.urked
copy of which l send you.
You will recognize the necessity os
endeavoring TO get congress to enter
upon the work OF having a definite
plan, and therefore of adopting the
report of the Board. / do not expect
my bill will pass this congress and
become a law, but should it pass, and
congress enter upon the work it will
be a comparatively easy matter to
have provision made for the work on
Puget Sound.
l have heretofore called upon the
War Department for copies of reports
or papers showing the necessity of
Notifications upon Puget Sound, but
never have been able to obtain any |
think l will have a talk with the
chief of engineers and will introduce
a resolution calling for information
and for all reports upon the subject.
I assure you that your interests
will be looked after as far as possi-
BILE in this as other matters
Truly yours.

of purchase Of the Oregon & Califor-
MIA railroad by the Southern Pacific
company mas taken definite shape
and Will be consummated within Il

to all believers in the future OF the
Puget Sound region, and especially
so to citizens Of the Port of entry.
1t is an open secret that when the
Southern Pacific magnates visited
the Sound last summer they We're so
forcibly impressed with it and its
possibilities as to declare that another
railroad must be built northward.

shipments OF Coal.

The receipts of coal from San
Francisco during the week ending
March 24th were IS follows: From
Great Britain and Australia, 3040
tons: frGm the coast collieries, 26,-
633 tons. The market remains IN
changed, the arrivals barely supply
the pressing demand, hence there is
no weakening in values.
The Puget Sound and British Coz
lumbia collieries are increasing their
shipments, and their recent engage
ments of tonnage indicate a still
more increased output. Still no de-
cease in values is expected until their
is an accumulation of coal in the
yards in San Francisco.
The demand for tonnage to carry
nitrate from the west coast of South
America to Europe has increased
very materially, taking up much of
the disengaged tonnage, this being
assisted by the engagem ents for
wheat, lumber and coal freights
from the Sound and British Column

A Popular Song Writer Dead.


The announcement from San Francisco
of the death of Harry Mccarthy, the we'll
known writer and Irish comedian, re-
minds many New Workers that he wrote
one of the most popular war songs of the
South. 1t was in New Orleans, 1861,
that his sister, Miss Marion Mccarthy,
first sang the "Bonny Blue Flag" at the
Varieties Theatre, and it achieved
such instant popularity that its author
ship was at once acknowledged. The
correct name of the melody, slightly
transposed, which Miss Mccarthy sang,
is "The Irish Jaunting Car" generally
known and universally admired as "The
Low-Back Car" So widely had Harry
Mccarthy popularized this famous old
Irish air, that its antecedents have be-
come hazy in the minds of many who
know it only as the medium which gave
"The Bonny Blue Flag to the world.
"The Bonny Blue Flag" was the means
during General Benjamin f. Butler
rule in New Orleans of inflicting punish
ment on good many of the citizens of the
Crescent City. AS related by Brander Mat
thews, on page 1855 of his pen and Ink, {"
Mr.. A. Il. Blackmar, the publisher of the
song, declared that Butler had "made 1t
very profitable by fining $25 every man,
woman and child who sang, whistled or
played The Bonny Blue Flag, or its
tune, on the streets" Mr. Blackmar
writes also that he was arrested and fined
$500 for publishing it, and that the sheet
music of it was all destroyed.

M ARRlAoE NOT A FAILURE.

New View of this Great Question which
Shows How Ladies May Retain the Love
of Their Husbands.
No woman who is unattractive in person,
mind, or disposition can hope to interest or
hold men, Bad complexion, dull eyes list
less nature never did or can attract mankind.
On the other hand how many women with
clear skin, beneath which the blood can be
seen throbbing with health, bright eyes and
life aud animation In every movement, make
the world blessing to their husbands, broth
ors, lovers, or friends. The secret Of clear
skin, bright eyes and animation Is good cir
oulaton OF the blood. When the blood is
slow the person is stupid. Keep the blood
moving, But howY There is only one way
and that is to help Nature by gentle stlmu-
liant.
Exercise is splendid stimulant but It Is
almost impossible for ladies TO take the kind
of exercise that will produce health aud
beauty. But the blood must be kept moving,
and the discovery which has done more TO add
health and beauty than any other known
cause is Duify's Pure Malt Whiskey This
great remedy stimulate hedlthHy II is not
an intoxicant. Thousands of women who
were once tired, depressed aud discouraged
are now in perfect health and beauty entirely
through its use, Many prominent temper
ance ladies have given In their hearty endorse
ment and clergymen and priests In every
prominent city use and recommend II. Great
care should be shown IN buying only the
genuine, for no other bottled whiskey has the
wonderful qualities which are possessed by
DufTy's
When ladies are kept bright and attractive
and husbands are considerable aud kind, few
marriages will be failures
