tries Of our neighboring city, Washing.

has had the snap to secure 80 many per.
manent industries, is now reaping the
reward of it's labors. This fact is as ap.
parent from the fine appearance of the
Cyclone. That it cost much skilled labor
and no little money is quite evident to
any one at all acquainted with the make
