Workmen are to-day repairing the
damage done to the dock yesterday
morning by the steamer 7. j. Potter.
1t is not near as much as at first
thought and will again he ready for

During the examination Of the phil
osophy class at Collegiate Institute to-
day, a whole room-full OF ingenious
devices were temporarily gotten up By
the teacher and students, representing
a costly array OF apparatus, and by
such means as these many elaborate
experiments were performed.
1t hardly seems possible, but it is
fact, nevertheless, that this city has
not accommodation even now for the
many strangers who arrive daily. Last
night two apparently respectable men
applied to the City Marshal for lodg-
ing in the jail. They were possessed
OF means hut could not get accommo-
dation elsewhere, and had to content
Themselves with roof and board
couch.
News travels fast AMI far, as was ev-
idenced this morning. The deaf and
dumb fellow who was playing his
pranks here lit out and last night
reached Tenino. The news OF his es-
capade here had reached there per this
paper before him. AS soon as he ar
rived he began to work his racket and
a copy of the OLYMPIAN was pulled on
him. He was ordered 10 leave at once
and, like the Arab who folded his tent,
"deafy" folded his, too, and stole away
in the stiffness of the night.
Mud Bay Jim, a tyee Indian well
| known in this section, came to town
to-day accompanied by his family. I'M
mediately on his arrival Jim and s@v-
eral of his trusty lieutenants started
out and made several Intellectual at
| tempts to secure ration of fire water
There was great skirmishing for
while but the enemy was not captured
and the whole band were proportion
ately discounted. Jim is now dead
set against the Olympians, and de-
plores the fact that times have
changed.
An impression has got abroad
among our people that the 20 districts
created for the purpose OF electing
delegates to the constitutional con-
vention should be organized at once.
This at present cannot be done. In
conversation with one OF the commits
sioners to-day the OLYMPIAN learned
that certified copy of the enabling
act must first be received and filed in
the office OF the Territorial Secretary.
1t should be here now, and its non
arrival is causing some concern. How
ever, it has been telegraphed for, and
is expected in few days. Imme-
diately on its receipt the commission,
consisting of the Governor, Chief JUS
tice and Territorial Secretary, will Fit
and complete the allotment.
