who possess good trees of mature
growth. There is a limit beyond
which the bearing capacity, as well as
the quality of fruit, detcriorates, and it
is well to have a due proportion of young
trees coming forward, to replace the
old when their days OF usefulness are
over. Mr.. Chambers trees will come
from the celebrated Woodburn Nurs-
cry.
The Capital National Bank did not
open Tuesday, as was announced, but
got matters in working ord er the sue
ceeding day. Mr.. Lord. the cashier, is
ready for business, but for time will
labor under some disadvantages. The
furniture has not yet been received
from the East, and the plate glass
for the window was broken in the tran
sit, hence business is done over rough
counter and while the stars Of evening
keep watch over the strong box, with
out the slightest obstruction. 1t will
not be long, however, until these de-
fects will be remedied and then We
will have another financial aid to bus

The death OF Mrs. Bctsey Hewitt,
wife OF Hon. c. c. Hewitt, on their
farm few miles south of the city,
leaves another vacant place in the ra
pidly thinning ranks of pioneers. She
died on Friday, the 9th inst, after
an illness of several months duration.
Mrs. Hewitt was born in Canada in
1924, her maiden name being Weston.
In 1910 she moved with her parents
to Dundee, Illinois, where sister still
resides. In 1919 she married Judge
Hewitt, and in 1862 came with him to
Washington Territory, settling in this
country, where she has continually re-
sided till her death. She was an ex-
emplary woman in many respects, and
leaves many friends to mourn her loss.
The family circle remaining consists OF
the husband, two daughters and son,
and some distant relatives in Califor-
mia. The funeral ceremonies were
held Saturday, and she was buried at
3 o'clock in Odd Fellows Cemetery.
In all of the principal cities of the
Eas: and to San Francisco as well,
there exists among the police a fund
known as the police relief fund. This
fund is devoted to sick, disabled, or
injured officers of the force. The one
at San Francisco is said to be in a
most flourishing condition. At the
last report of the Treasurer over $780,
600 was claimed as being in the Treas
ury. Stockton, Sacramento and Port
land have organized similar institu-
lions within the past year, while Sc
attle's police force started their fund
during the past week. Tacoma is also
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of taking
such a step and Olympia is not far be-
hind. For some time back Chief
Savidge has been in correspondence
with Mr.. Willis Ross, the Business
Manager for the minstrel, Mr.. Billy
Arlington and his comedy company,
who were instrumental in starting the
Sacramento, Stockton, Seattle and
other funds of like nature. Mr.. Ross
arrived in the city Monday, and after
consultation with our Chief the final
arrangements were made to start re-
lief fund here. A benefit for the pur-
pose will be given in Columbia Hall,
Saturday evening, May 18th, when
Mr.. Arlington will appear with his
company and furnish programme of
unusual excellence.
The Olympia Light and Power Co.,
lately incorporated by some OF our
leading citizens, will prove of incalcul-
able benefit, contemplating as they do
the development of several enterprises
that have not yet been brought to the
surface by others. Prominent among
these is the establishment of an cleo
trio railway system, connecting Tum-
water and the suburban towns that
will speedily spring up under the i'm
petus that has been given to all classes
of business by the sudden discovery
that Olympia actually held the key to
commerce of Puget Sound. Another
object is to furnish power for driving
all kind of machinery used for manu-
featuring or other purposes, and also
system OF lighting specially adapted
for inside illumination. The incorpora-
tors are Edmund Rice, of Tacoma.

dent. and Geo. ID. Shannon, Secretary
