1t would be interesting to know what
the Gray's Harbor people think of the
taking off of the early morning train
from Kamilchie to Montesano- The
steamer Detroit made the run from Ohm
pia to Kamilchie several mornings with
quite number OF passengers. when it
was suddenly announced that the train
had been taken Off This is a reflection
or that section of the country and an in
dlcati IN that things are dull down that
way, and that there is but very little
travel. As matter Of fact people are
crowdng into the Gray's Harbor country
every day. and the early morning train
referred TO was an accommodation 10 the
people of that section as we'll as Olympia,
Ii 1t be true that the train was stopped
from running any more, through motives
OF Interest III certain steamer, the peo-
pie of Gray's Harbor and of Olympia
ought TO know it AMI withdraw their pat
rOnage from that steamer. Perhaps the
Puget Sound and Cray's Harbor railroad
company do not fully understand the sit
uation. Do they know: that their agent at
Kamilchie, Mr.. S. G. Simpson, owns a
quarter interest in the MuItnomah and
took the early morning train off because
the Detroit was cutting into the business
OF the MultnOmah ?--Tribune.

On Sunday morning Mrs. Margaret
Mitchell. was brOug ht Ovcr from Dewatto
suffering under an attack of melanchOl-
ia insanity. She was examined by Doc
tor Beach, and committed 10 the Asylum
at SleilacOom. She is a native of Scot
land, and is about 80 years of age, and
has been affected about seven months
gradually growing worse, so her husband,
who is rancher, unable 10 provide
watch or stay with his wife through the
day, has been forced 10 have her placed
in the asylum. She seems perfectly sane
on every topic but religiol, with no dis
position to injure others; but frequently
wanders into the woods, and imagines she
can see God and the Devil. Sheriff
Duckwor.h. with Miss Moore, his sister,
in-law, for assistant, took the unfortunate
lady to the Asylum, Monday, and found it
rather difficult business at times.
