Mr.. A. B. Rabbeson, of this city, ha
returned from an extended trip to Cali
fornia for the benefit Of his health
He is greatly improved by his visit
, but is glad to get back again among
his many relatives and friends.
Word reached this city yesterday
thai Hon. l.. B. Miner, half brother
; of Ex-Governor Semple, had sailed fol
his station in Central America. He
had recently Teen appointed Minister
to that country by President Harrison.
Mr.. E. T. Young now employs only
white cooks, the last Chinaman having
been given the grand bounce this
week. His hotel will hereafter be run
by white labor throughout, which will
doubtless add to its deserved popularity
At the meeting of The Hotel Board
of Directors to-day, bids were opened
for the excavating of 566 yards OF
earth on the north end of the grounds.
It was found that the bid of Mr.. Raw
son was the lowest, and the contract
was awarded to him at 81 cents per
cubic yard.
A young man representing the Ia
coma Globe was among our citizens to-
day, securing subsidies for write-up
of Olympia in his paper. We are
sorry he did not meet with better sue
cess, but the experience of our citizens
in this matter has led them to be a
little chary of that kind of goods, and
thus they don't take much stock in
them.
VIM. Brown, nephew Of Harry
Weatherall Of this county, arrived in
the city yesterday direct from London.
He had a pretty rough time Of it in
crossing the Atlantic, and his long delay
occasioned some anxiety among his
friends, lest he was passenger on the
ill-fated Danmark. He il glad to
reach his friends however, and will pro-
ceed to Oyster Bay tomorrow.
Governor Moore yesterday notified
the Hon. T. H. Cam, the recently ap-
pointed Code Commissioner, that the
commissioners at their meeting, had
dett rmined to 60 ahead with their
work and complete it, Notwithstanding
the remuneration is very meager. 1t is
not known what action Mr.. Cam will
Ike in the matter, rs it was stated
some time since that he would not ac-
cept the appointment.
A great many people hereabout seem
to think that the hotel is dead letter
and will not be built. In this they
are mistaken. The hotel will be built,
Notwithstanding that some OF those
who should not, are holding aloof from
it. There is a provision in the law
that authorizes the Board of Directors
to issue bonds for its completion, when
q certain percentage of the capital
stock is subscribed and paid in. If
this is done, no doubt every bond will
be eagerly snapped up, and as they
pay 6 per cent. interest it will be
readily seen that they are good in
vestment.
Capt. Brown, of the Browns Wharf
and Navigation Company, OF Tacoma,
was in the city to-day comforting with
q number of our merchants about the
advisahility Of their taking stock to
the extent of about 5000 in q new
steamer to be located here. 1t is his
intention to place upon the route be-
tween here and Seattle q boat he has
contracted for and is now under way
in Portland. She is 130 feet long; 26
feet beam, and 6 foot depth of hold
with guaranteed speed of Is miles
per hour. Daily she will make the
round trip, connecting here at II 80
with the Clara Brown, which will sail
for Kamilchis and Shelton. If this
deal is made, the Clara Blown will
make round trip each morning be-
tween here and Kamilchie, and an
other round trip each afternoon be-
tween here and Shelton, leaving here
at II 80. 1t is necessary, he Gays
that this stock should be taken, and as
he declares the boat will pay 81, 500 a
month, there is no reason why the
amount of stock aske d FIR should not
be Immediately subscribed for.
