Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1890-03-07

consider proposition which Will be
made 10y the owners OF the Olympia
and Chehalis Valley Railroad. They
propose to build coal bunkers, and to
establish a depot and machine shops
within the city limits, if the citizens
extend little aid in the matter.
Every person interested in the city's
welfare should attend this meeting
Tuesday night.
Representative Bush has introduced
bill for another Superior Judge for
this district. The Republican party
seems determined to give us enough
officers, if nothing else. As Jay Gould
said, "D-n the people; they will
have to foot the bill, whether they
like it or not.
A loving young couple of Olympia
made it up between themselves and
the folks, last fall, to be married as
soon as the Legislature adjourned.
They have been waiting with COM
mendable patience, but even that
Christian grace is beginning to turn
into disgust and there is no telling
what the outcome will be.
In the case of /. C. Ellis for con-
tempt of Court in piling over larger
space of water front at his warehouse
than permission had been granted, the
defendant has filed an affidavit in an
swer which nodifies the intended &C
ton Of Judge Irwin. Therefore he has
postponed special decision until fur
ther hearing is reached in the original
case.
Mr.. A. J. Mason, of Pomona, Cali
fornia, has secured the lease of the
new Hotel Olympia, and will open it to
the public about the first of next
month. Mr.. NJ. has had considerable
experience in the hotel business the
past Il years, and is still the manager
OF the Palomarcs Hotel, of Pomona.
He seems to possess all the requisites
for making success of his new VEN
ture.
The safe of Drewry & Son was robbed
of about $50 and some city warrants,
Wednesday night, by some one who
was doubtless familiar with the prem
Uses. The full combination was not
turned on, when the Office closed for
the night, and the thief therefore had
but little trouble in getting it open.
The warrants were left on the top of
the safe, which indicates that he was
influenced by the usual amount of
caution.
1t is scarcely necessary to call the
attention of our readers to the special
advertisement of the Railroad Addi-
ton to Olympia, placed on the mar
ket by Henderson Brothers. Its
prominent position will attract the
eye of every reader before the paper is
opened to read the local columns.
The Addition is eligibly located, and
no site presents a better opportunity
for safe and lucrative investment than
this tract.
The near feature will bear witness to
quite an improvement on Third street,
which has hitherto been used as an in
Urinary for old wagons and broken
down vehicles of all descriptions. A
causeway for foot-passengers will soon
span the inlet to the mill, and side
walk continue to Main street. Dur
ing the Summer the whole street will
be filled in and probably graded and
graveled, which will make it an excel
lent thoroughfare for business pur-
poses.
At the residence of the brides pa
rents, on Eastside, Tuesday evening,
DIR. Lee joined in the holy rites of mat
rimony our esteemed citizen Milo A.
Root, and Miss Annie, second daughter
of DR.. r. H. Lansdale. Both of the par
ties are well known to our people, and
begin their new experience with the
best wishes of all for future happiness
and prosperity. The STANDARD
acknowledges receipt of compliments
of the happy couple and extends its
blessing.
Mr.. Rogers, the photographer will,
next Monday, open his new proto-
graphic parlors, in the McKenny build
ing, on the corner of Main and Fifth
streets. They are the most elegant
rooms ever fitted up in this city for
that purpose, and equal the famous
art parlors in Portland. The wall and
ceiling decorations, by Mr.. d. C.
Moore, arc worthy of special
note, and are in delicate tints
heightened by tasty contrast of sill
yer and gold. The light is ample and
so arranged as to give perfect satisfac-
ton in all weathers. Mr.. r. is to be
congratulated on having secured these
superb rooms, which are in full accord
with the progress OF the times.
