Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1890-05-23

will be held on the afternoon of the
date and at the place above men
toned, at which Prof. Dickie will also
speak. Mr.. Dickie challenges cham
pions of the old parties to meet him
in debate.
1t seems from the reports of down
town proprietors that, although The
Olympia opens under favorable aus
pices, its success in no degree initiates
against the business of the lesser
houses. The facts in the case are that
every hotel is filled to its normal ca
pac.ty, and now comes the news that
another big hotel, built wholly of brick
stone and iron will soon go up upon
one of the prominent sites OF Olympia's
water front.
Mr.. L. E. RAIDER proposes to estab-
lish a weekly paper at Montesano, to
be named the Washington Democrat
The first issue will appear in about
two weeks, and, as its name indicates,
will be devoted to propagation of the
true faith. Mr.. r. was in Olympia a
few days ago, and the STANDARD ac-
knowledges call. He has had some
experience as a journalist in this State,
having been connected for time with
the Walla Walla Statesman.

Thomas Post No. 5, at the hour above
mentioned. =.
Gen. Hazard Stevens, OF Boston,
many years ago a school boy OF Olym
pia, son of the first Governor OF Wash.
ington, is at The Olympia. He was in
later life for several years one Of Olym'
pia's most enterprising cit zens and il
was to his energy and determination,
in no small degree, that the Olympia
Tenino Railroad was built. About q
dozen years ago, Gen. Stevens changed
his residence to "The Hub" forming a
law partnership with an uncle OF extern
sive practice. 1t was not long till his
marked ability was recognized by q
seat in the legislature, and his name
has of late years been frequently
mentioned in high political Giro. es
Gen. s. was, with his father al
Chantilly, whom that gallant officer
fell with the colors of his regiment
the 10th New York Higlanders, in his
hand. Itseems appropriate, as well as
a coincidence, that we should have AZ
Jour guest, on the announcement o.
Operations that will make Olympia a
i Eailroad center, the son of the man
who made the original survey OF the
pioneer railroad, to the North Pacific
one whose faith in Olympia has been
so amply justified.
