Mr.. John Dcteirre, who has SO ably
managed the extensive logging opera
tons OF the Port Blakely Mill Co.,
near this city, the past year, turned
over, last Friday, his trust to Mr.. Simp-
son, and will return to Port Blakely,
to serve in another capacity for the
company. Mr.. ID. has made many
friends during his sojourn with us, all
of whom regret the change that will
deprive us of his genial presence.
People building new sidewalks
should be careful to conform to the
grade established by the city and save
themselves future trouble and annoy
ance. There is one sidewalk in the
city, recently built, that at one end is
fully foot below the grade. 1t will
be great deal more trouble and eX
pense to raise it and bring it to the
grade than it would have been to build
it on the grade in the first place.
Georg. A. Barnes faithful old dog,
Dash, has passed from the trials and
tribulations of this life. He was sui
fering greatly from the effects of dis
temper, and to end his misery he was
given sufficient dose of morphine to
cause his death. He now rests in
little graveyard fenced off by itself,
and at his grave there is a head-board
bearing the inscription, "Sacred to
the memory of my most devoted
friend, Dash"

ton was necessary, and an operation
was accordingly performed Saturday
evening by that gentleman, assisted
by Dr. Beach. The condition of the
patient, at last accounts, was favor
able.
Chas. Patnude, while in the woods
near this city, hunting for his COW,
discovered the cache recently used by
the burglars who have been infestiEg
Olympia of late. He continued his
search for the COW, thinking he had
the spot located, but when he again

taken away, but there remained few
door-mats, etc, that have recently
been missed from dwellings in the
city, and evidences of n recent camp

On Tuesday party of hoodlums
serenaded Ben. Vincent and wife.
While the racket was going on Mr..
Vincent attired himself much after
the fashion of the average blood-and-
thunder novel brigand, took a gun in
his hand, and going out the back door,
crept up and joined the urchins, who
at first treated the matter as II good
joke. At last one Of the boys dis
covered the gun in Vincent's hand
and yelled, Hes got gum" and the
manner in which the youngsters made
themselves scarce is much easier i'm
agined than described.
