rather than go to New Mexico. Whilst
making his preparations to start for Sc
attic he was offered the attorncyship for
the Tacoma Land Company, at New Ia
coma. in place Of Frank Clark. who had
just died. He accepted this offer and
made Tacoma his home until the pending
litigation was brought to an end. He had
in the meantime business constantly at
Seattle. and spent much of his time here.
Four years ago he removed definitely
to Seattle, and has since lived here.
He has for some time taken active interest
in the University of Washington. He was
about year ago summoned to Olympia to
testify before the legislative joint commit
tee on the university as to the title of the
state to the ten-acre tract on which the
present university building stands, and as
to the value of that tract. In his testi-
mony he estimated the tract TO be worth
from 100000 to $500, 1000. His strong de-
sire to see great university built in Seat
tie was main cause of his appointment as
commissioner by the government.

missioners, is well known in Olympia and
all through the southwestern part of the
state He lived for awhile in Tacoma.

to manage sawmill of his. He sold the
sawmill and also his drug store at Olym-
pia, and has virtually retired from bust
ness. He may take up his residence in
Seattle He owns extensive timber lands
in Chehalis and Pacific counties, and has
valuable property in Oregon.
John McReavy is a Washington pioneer.
He came to this country from Maine about
thirty wears ago. Like Mr.. Leayenworth,
he is large landowner. and has been en-
gagged in numbering and mercantile bust
ness He was a member of the state con-
stitutional convention and of the first state
legislature. He is popular man in Mason
county and all through that region of the
state His appointment, it is thought, will
be satisfactory TO the Democrats of the
state. He is said to be a liber al-minded
man, and will no doubt favor the erection
of tirst-class building for the new Uni
yersity of Washington.

A Little Boys Reply.

For precocty, irrepressibility and
too often deprayity, Young America
in these present days scarcely can be
surpassed. Here is an illustration: A
little chap, rot yet 8 years old whose
parer,s live ON one of the fashionable
avenues, went, last week. to pay a visit
to his grandmother in Yonkers. While
there. in rummaging through his
grandmother's secretary, he came
across silver 50-cent piece and very
shortly afterward he was on his way
down town to invest his find. '
He expended the whole amount for
peanuts and. upon his return, was en-
loving them in the privacy Of his
chamber when his grandmother put
in au appearance.
