The State Supt. informs this office that they

Thus far this Office has been compelled to de-
mend upon circular information in the conduct
of the official duties and in some instances this

the time for which being changed by the new
school law, was held sooner than was possible
to be properly advertised and generally known

How to Make q City.

Written for the Seattle Observer
With adjectives of wOndrous size
Whole sheets of paper fill,
And feast the readers eager ewes
On fairy tales, until
They're ready to invest their store
In your nice little scheme,
And of their coming wealth galore
The day and night will dream.
OF land u section cheaply buy,
A half section at least:
Sell 1t in lots at figures big,
To suckers from the East.
Say that the N. P.'s coming there.
Mayhap the U. P, too;
A railroad center it declare,
And coin will come to YOU.
A sawmill promise, and anon,
A small hotel erect;
In h-fown way dilate upon
The factories you expect.
A bonus give some printer-man
With small hatfui OF type.
To start the Weekly Black-and-Tan.
And Humbug City's ripe.

DROWNED EARLY travellers on the
trestle walk, Thursday morning, dis
covered the body of a man lying, face
down, on the mud flats, and up
on examination it was found that the
man was dead. His name was James
Reeves, aged about So years, and for a
long time cook in the various log
ging camps. He left the Point the
evening before in an intoxicated con-
dition, and was supposed to have fall
en- through the trestle, and been
drowned by the incoming tide. A big
lump on his forehead indicated that he
struck the ties III falling. The cause
of death being evident, it was decided
unnecessary to hold an inquest, and
the remains were properly prepared,
and taken out to the cemetery. He
had about 500, enough to give him a
decent burial.

Mr.. G. c. Pagett, Of Tacoma, has been
in town since Tuesday looking after some
business interests in this vicinity. Mr..
Pagett was auditor OF Mason from 1862 to
1866. In '62 or 3 he visited Sherwood's
mill which was then in operation on
Sherwood creek few rods south of town
and also camped day or two at Lake
Mason while on the same trip. Great
changes, he says, have taken place here
since his visit. At that time this was a
veritable wilderness; with an abundance
of large game roaming through III.
woods, undisturbed by the crack OF the
hunters rifle ALLYN Times.
