knights of Labor and the Chinese took
place all over the Sound. Tacoma aud
shelton were among the places where the
neathen Chinese were given a French
ieave, and they never have returned. AT
Seattle and Olympia there was hitch in
the programme, the outcome OF which
was one man shot, several sent TO Nc

laundries. Even now they are not allowed

Every column of newspaper contains
from twelve to twenty thousand distinct
pieces Of metal, displacement OF any of
which would cause blunder or typo
graphical error. And yet some people
lay claim to remarkable smartness if they

the neighbors and that the editor of

Chas. Norton. George Huntley and Al
merton Adams were out this week, view
ing out new route for the road to Union
City. They began at Johns creek bridge,
AID followed the bottom to a point near
Jacob Hauptley's, where an easy grade
takes the road down to the Skokomish
bottom, thence to Union City by present
road around the shore of the Canal. This
route will do away with the succt ssiOn If
road at Webb's hill.
Albert Malaney was in town yesterday.
He says that the Detroit will be- put on
the Kamilchc-Seattle route, and that ne
gOtiations are now pending for the pur.
chase of stern wheel steamer to run be-
tween here and Olympia and connect
with the Detroit. We need increased and
better transportation facilities, and as soon
as possible. He says that Union Pacific
will pass through Shelton and Detroit.
Tomorrow is the day set for voting for
in corporation and town officers. Every
body is in favor of Incorporation, but no
meeting has yet been held TO select til e
officers, and thus far not much interest is
displayed Every body should be interested
enough to turn out and elect set of good
men. Progressive and active. is the
main consideration for this year.

Shelton possible from either Grays Har-
Dor or any Sound point.
Low-browed, tan-colored peddlers
loaded down with packs large enough for
an ordinary horse, are thicker these days
than bed bugs in an Arkansaw hOStelry.
NJ lost of these fellows are not to be trusted
near any article not nailed fast, and few
of them should be tolerated. a good
sized license fee would restrict the num-
Der down to the few who are legitimate
canvaSserS.
A number of Indians have lately been
in Chehalis on legal business. The as S.
essor it seems, assessed them aud they
paid their taxes. According to United
States law an Indian who becomes a citi-
ZeE and takes up government land Is not
subject TO tax for twenty years. They
discovered that their taxes han been COL :
lected illegally and appeared before the
courts to have the matter rectitied.
From this date to Dec 81, 1890, the
JOURNAL will be sent to any address out
side the State for 81 90. From this time
Shelton will enjoy prosperity and the pa
per will be an excellent medium to keep
posted on its progress. Besides the extras
taken by real estate men, our list is grow
ing handsomely.
The Tacomans fairly ''wiped the
ground" with the Seattles in the third
game of the series played at Tacoma
yesterday. However. it's long lace.
and there is no reason for the Seattles, to
lose heart. Between this time and Octo-
Der ninety three games arc to b. played
and it is too soon for either team to as
sumo the victory.-P. l.
George Huntlcy was over to Union City
this week. He says their new saw mill is
progressing; but from the stand point of
an old logger, he thinks that an ordinory
logging road bridge would have
more substantial piers than those which
are to support the mill.
