Port Townsend is divided into two
great, grand divisions, viz. upper and
lower town. These are connected by
means Of a zigEag plank walk or switch
back, which extends down the face Of
the Hill in aforward and back -cross-oyer-
and Acknowledgements style OF
engineering, which is quite novel, and
ye1 enables the pedestrian 70 arrive there
just the same.
The citizens Of Port Townsend have,
for years, been at the mercy Of steamboat
companies for freight and the rates have
been high, but this spring the Port
Townsend and Southern railroad broke
ground and 3 1000 men began 10 connect
Townsend with the Portland terminus
Of the great transcontinental roads.
Hardly had this been done when tho
centlemanly. genial and urbane Union
Pacific secured terminal facilities, and
began 20 strike out for the growing city.
This means that the other roads viii
follow, and this quiet town, modestly
seeking 10 do what was right, yet seldom
footing her own horn, has the door open
for her to future prosperity and COM
mercial importance.
Speaking of Samuel Davis a moment
ago reminds me that some years ago he
joined the Knights of Pythias. lie looks
very wildly and strangely beautiful in
the uniform of the knights, and little
children gladly go and conceal them
selves when they see him coming. And
yet he is kind hearted man and would
never bite child unless irritated or
unduly provoked.
M Davis was greatly impressed at
his initiation by the chief officers earn
est charge 70 ever throughout his life
overcome al obstacles that might lie IN
the path Of honest success. Over and
over again this thought was dressed in
new terms and in earnest language, this
idea Of eternal perseverance, being the
price Of victory. Day and night it dwelt
in his memory. Sleeping or waking,
perseverance, perseverance, sang in
his breast and stirred him up to 90 and
70 dare in the great struggle for success.
One evening he stTOlled down the
street and, seeing the lodge door open and
members standing about the entrance. he
stepped around into an alley and having
rehearsed the signals aud passwords for
the current quarter, he boldly stepped
10 the portcrllIs and having pounded
on the door according u directions on
outside Of wrapper. he poked his Grecian
beak through the little martin box lead-
INK into the vestibule aud calculated:
"Messopotamia"'
An angry raGn rose TO his feet inside
AMI said. smo,hcring his rising wrath
by means II the fried onions which had
formed a part Of his supper:
