city are being thoroughly renovated
preparatory to opening the schools on

The steamer Ha.salo failed to arrive
here Sunday night, having had to
make double run between Tacoma
and Seattle, in place of the Haymard,
which was ordered to Whatcom to
take the place OF the Starr, the latter
boat having run on a rock in Belling-
ham bay. The Hassolo came up
Monday morning, left here on the re-
turn trip about 10 A. NJ, and made
Olympia again at night, since which
time she has run as per schedule.

time engaged in building a fishing
boat for a party Of Italian fishermen

launched on Tuesday last. Mr..

out the winter.
The Garden City Fruit Evaporating
Company, whose drier is situated on
Eastside, have been constantly at
work since the drier was put in posi-
ton. They have bought all offerings
of fruit, except in few cases where
the producer had too exalted ideas of
its worth. During this week they
have run for three days on
plums, and are now working on APP
Piles and pears. Some fruit has been
dried on shares, and it has astonished
the people to learn that they could
have their fruit delivered to them,
thoroughly dried, in from three to
four hours, according to the nature OF
the fruit.

discovered to be on fire, and an alarm
was turned in. but before the depart
ment could reach the place the fire
was beyond control. Fire was first
discovered from the roof of the build
ing. BY hard and unceasing labor the
department succeeded in saving the
bridge. The mill was purchased a
short time ago by Messrs. Drewry &
Ward, who lose about $1,000 on the
building and machinery, and about
100000 shingles and twenty cords of
bolts, valued at $500. There was an
insurance of 81 900 on the mill. The
origin of the fire is unknown.

On Friday night last, Night Watch
man McClelland raided a Chinese
opium joint on Third street, captur-
ing The proprietor and "dope tiend"
named Thos. Tilton. On Saturday
the proprietor was arraigned before
Judge Ready, who fined him $50 for
keeping an opium den in violation of
city ordinance, and not having that
amount of cash, was committed to the
county Jail for fifty days. Tilton, a
gambler, who is said to have been run
out Of Tacoma recently, put up $25
for his appearance, but when the time
for trial arrived he failed to materialize,
and the city is at once rid of tough
character and enriched to the extent
of 1926. The Chinaman has since
been released on payment of portion
of the fine, the justice RENTING the
balance.

quirements of the case. The gas works,
with the present patronage, would
pay dividend on the money invested,
