EUors NEEDED IN the HARBoR.

How Improved and Cheaper Facilities
for Shipping Could BE Had.
"This city ought to place buoys in the har-
bor," said Ex-Governor Eugene semple to .
Posr-ISTELLIGEScEar reporter yesterday. "when
vessels come into the harbor now, they have to
anchor out in the middle or across on the west
side, and when they want to move up to their
dock, they have to be towcd. Thus expense IL
incurred and the shipping does not make as
good an appearance. II wo had buoys to which
vessels could be tied, they could warp up to
their docks and save the towage.

the Lake Shore railroad trestle and crowding it
over so that it became necessary to drive some

No further damage was done. How it came that
she was run out so far is . mystery, unless the
engineer was given the wrong signal and pulled
ahead instead OF backing. she went to Tacoma
to finish discharging and win come here to coal
this time instead of going TO Nanaimo II is not
probable tnst she will take any more than
enough for fuel, owing to the giut Of coal in

The claim of E. II. McHenry, principal assist
ant engineer Of the Northern Pacific railrosd,
that the cast channel Of the Duwanish river h
not navigable stream. Is supported By ex-
Governor Semple. of the harbor line commits
sion. He says on this subject: s'The commits
sion proposed to close this channel, If the legis-
lature had vested us with the powers asked in
the bill submitted by Us. 1t has been actually
closed since 1sS5 or 1856 by the piling which has
been done on the tide fats in front of it In
order to reach Newells mill, which is on the
shore OF this channel, steamers have to go up
the west channel to the main stream and GO
down the east channel, and return the same
way They can't get out into the harbos by the
east channel, for its mouth Is practically closed
already.
III we had been granted the powers we asked,
we should have conferred with the United
States authorities and could have satisfied them
that this channel was no: navigab.e, and that to
keep II open and build drawbridges across It
would obstrucs traffic. As il Il, our hands are

SEATTLE, April IS. 1891.
Here is another one of our
ideas for this week. It's almost
as saving one to you as was
that of Monday.
Now it is ruchings, and they
are almost given away. Re-
auctions of Ioc and sc on this
class OF goodsmean proportion
ally as much as taking off dol
lars from the goods whose
prices run in dollars.
We have a large lot of ruch-
ings that are now marked
special. Perhaps there is a
couple thousand yards of them.
Anyway not much less, and
this IS the way they are to go:
Ruchinss, reduced from 81 so to sc.
Ruchings. reduced from sla5 70 asc-
Rrchiags. reduced from sio0 70 CSC
Ruchings. reduced from GOO 10 Csc
Ruch.ngs. reduced from soc 10 s5c.
Rnchings, reduced from tie 10 sc.
Rnchings. reduced from SOC 20 25c
Ruchings, reduced from soc TO CSC
A glance at these goods will
tell you more about what big
offer this is than a column OF
words could.
Rushings, reduced from sc 20 loc.
Ruchings. reduced from csc 10 Zoe
Ruchings. reduced from soc TO Ioc-
Ruchings. reduced from SOC 30 Zoe.
Rnchings reduced from SOC to lOc.
Rnchings, reduced from SOC 70 Toe
Then there is a larger lot
of these handsome collars, some
black, some colors, some spot
ted with tinsel, some silk en-
broidered. All of them nice
and worth former prices, but
here they go:
An those collars that sold fer SOC, CSC,
eSr a. 40 q
All those collars tina. sold for 25c, S5c
and IOc. now Al loc each.
"Wednesday is to be a bright
day for the buyers. Here is
one Of the crisp bargains of
this season.
Fourteen pieces of Scotch
cheviots just opened. Have
all the appearance of high
priced goods. They are
marked like this:
Scotch chevioss worth s0c for o5c.
Scotch cheysoss worth soc for CSC
Scotch cheyiots worth soe for CSC.
In today, for the first time,
a superb selection of newest
patterns in Scotch cheviots.
They have all the handsome
and stylish stripe effects. We
have marked them ST the yard.
Your good judgment will tell
you they are worth at least
$I.a5.
These two lines have a spec
ial reduced price made on them:
Scotch cheviots reduced from 81 .e5 20 81.
Dark checks reduced from 4sc 20 soc.
And throughout the house
you will find scores of bright
bargains.

There's a patent medicine
which IS not a patent medicine
paradoMcal as that NAV
sound It's a discovery! the
golden discovery Of medical
science! It's the medicine for
you-tired, run down, exhaust
ed, nerve wasted men and
women; for you sufferers from
diseases of skin or scalp, liver
or lungs-it's chance is with
every one, it's season always,
because it aims to purify the
fountain of life-the blood
upon which all such diseases
depend.
The medicine is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
The makers Of it have
enough confidence IN it to
sell it on trial.
That is-you can get it from
your druggist, and if it doesn't
do what it's claimed to do, you
can get your money back,
e0eyy cent of 1t.
That's what its makers call
taking the risk of their ssprds.
