One of the best indications that our
city is assuring metropolitan import
ance is afforded by visit to the works
of the Olympia Light and Power Co.,
at Tumwater. The immense dynamos
that light our streets are not the only
objects of interest, hut others are
nearly ready to supply the power Tor
the incandescent system to be used in
interior illumination, as well as for the
various manufacturing enterprises that
require power for running their ma
chinery. The local power-house is not
yet built, but the machinery has been
set up and operated for time in an
old building adjoining their lot on
Main street. Everything is first-class,
and the results cannot fail of giving
perfect satisfaction.

flesh OF his hands had been pecked
away. probably by birds. The body
was placed in coffin by the Coroner's
