WASHINGTON SAVINGS BANK.
Where You Can Put Your Money and
Grow Rich.

The Washington Savings Bank was or
ganized September, 1883, with w. W. Dear
born as president, B. b. Dearborn as
vice-president and H. w. Higgins
as cashier. They came to Seattle as COM
parative strangers, but long experience in
banking conservative management, strict
attention to business and courteous treat
ment of all customers have made the bank
one of the strongest financial institutions
in the city.
The present quarters are at 612 Second
street, but the bank will move into the
Yesler building in the northwest corner of
Yesler avenue and Front street, as soon as
the structure is completed. The bank has
a fireproof vault and within that for valu-
ables an improved screw door steel safe
with time lock.
The bank has capital of $4,000, and a
surplus of $4,000; the stockholders are
liable for an additional $4,000, making a
total guarantee fund of Sis, 900. In addi-
ton to this, that proportion of the savings
deposits which is not held in cash in the
bank is loaned on real estate mortgages at
conservative values, thus making every de-
post absolutely secure.
Besides its savings business the bank
transacts general banking business in all
its branches.
Five per cent. is paid on savings book
accounts. The interest is payable every
six months, and if not drawn is credited
and compounded. Five per cent. is paid
in six months certificates and per cent.
on twelve months certificates.

Furs.

The prevailing styles in dress make furs
and fur trimmings as much of a necessity
as any other article that would go toward
making a complete toilet.
This latest of fashion fads can be fully
satisfied without sending away from town
for the best and most artistic work in max
ing up and the manufacture of furs and fur
trimmings.
Mr.. r. Petkovits has been in the fur
business here for the past three or four
years, and during that time has built up a
reputation for frst-class goods and work
manship that brings him the best trade Of
the city. The ability and experience re-
quired to be an expert furrier is
of an unusual order, and few at
tain the high standard of excellence
in this direction necessary to a full under
standing of the business. Mr.. Petkovits is
particularly blessed with natural apti-
tude for his business, and thus, combined
with his years of experience, makes of him
the ideal furrier. His stock is replete with
all the finest productions in his line, and
intending purchasers will serve their best
interests by giving their orders to Mr.. Pet
kovits. His place of business is on Marion
street, between Front and Second streets.
Fancy furs are speciality at this house, as
they import direct the best skins to be
had. Raw furs find ready purchaser in
this firm.

the hill less than q mile west Of the lake.
This coal was discovered eighteen years
ago, but has never yet been thoroughly
prospected, owing to its former inaccessi-
bility. Now, however, the railway has
brought it into immediate touch with capi-
tai and labor.
About one year ago Mr.. Edward Blewett
and associates fled on over 1900 acres Of
this coal land and now intend to develop
it. The indications are that McMurray
will be mining town, but this remains TO
be proven. One thing is certain, that is,
that McMurray is assured brilliant fu-
ture as a busy manufacturing town.
1t will also be one of the prettiest sum-
mer resorts in Washington. Within year
or two wonderful transformation will
sweep over this region so rich in natural
resources.
Many advantages combine at this point,
and McMurray is destined to reach an i'm
portant position in Skagit county.

leaving the earth's crust patched,
jagged, mountainous region, little
short of total chaos. Ruptures that would
not heal continued firing heavenward,
great streams of smoke and lava piling
about themselves great cones, which re-
main as monuments to their departed
glory. These are Mounts Rainier, Adams,
81. Helens; white, towering cones, whose
snowy peaks giisten in the summer sun
light of Washington's azure skies.
AT the close of the tertiary came the age
of man. The surface of the basaltic rocks,
shaie sandstone, some granite and por-
phyry were disintegrated by the elements,
and the dust washed by the rain and
blown by the winds to the hills and valleys
below, depositing the rich, volcanic, ashy
loan, in which our fruit, wheat and vege-
tables flourish so abundantly. Mountain
streams, outlets of lakes, cut deeper the
natural channels to the ocean. The west
ern side of the Cascade mountains was
favored by the moist, warm, gentle Chi
nook winds from off the Japan current, de-
posting the moisture as dew and rain,
nourlshlng the growth of a luxuriant
forest of great conifers and cedars. The
whole Puget sound basin, canyons and
mountains are covered with these great
giants. High toward the heaven
their trunks take straight
line, and high above the ground
their first branches shoot out. The young
trees are slender and straight and crowd
among the giants for protection. Around
their feet is dense underground of ferns.
Old trees die and fall and lie moulding in
the heritage, while green moss
covers them with a velvety carpet.
The writer measured one of these pros
trate monsters $50 feet in length. Some
cedar stumps measure eighteen feet In
diameter. Large tracts of this land will
average 1000, 000 feet per quarter section.
This young and fiourishing state bears
the undisputed reputation of being the
greatest in coal beds and forests, as large
statements can be made with perfect
truthfulness about other natural resources;
but this is no place to introduce them.
Coal is our text and we have plenty to
talk about. All the Pacific coast will for
ever have to look to this state for its coal
What we need now is more railroads to
the coal fields, more coal washing
machinery for the heavy coking varieties
ofcoal, more coke ovens, more and cheaper
ocean transportation, and this state will
shut out all competition from foreign
Goals on the Pacific coast.

Judge Patrick DIVERS Public Service.
New York World


1t is to Judge Patrick Diver that the
city is indebted for the changing of tho
name of Chatham street to Park Row. Mr..
Diver conceived the idea that it did not
sound well to have his refreshment saloon
designated as an integral of Chatham
street, and SO as alderman he set
about a change of nomenclature.
The thoroughfare named in honor
of Lord Chatham, the friend of
America in the dark days Of the Revolu-
ton, was blotted from the map and Park
Row substituted. Of course Chatham
street never was Park Row. Mr.. Diver
might with as much propriety have re-
Oh ristened the street the Via Sacra, or he
might with far more appositeness have
designated il Diver avenue. But Park
Row it will probably remain until the
Judge concludes to enter new decree.

GREENWALD ROBBED.
A VERY MYSTERIOUS CRIME COM
MITTED ON FRIDAY NIGHT.
Three Hundred Dollars Taken From a
Safe in Which Were Diamonds and
Other valuables- The Facts as Far as
Yet Known.

There was one man in Los Angeles
who did not celebrate the Fourth with
his accustomed enthusiasm yesterday.
1t was Morris Greenwald, who keeps the
cigar store at the corner of Spring and
First streets. The store was robbed
probably on Friday night OF some three
hundred dollars. Who did it and how
it was done is mystery. Very few
people know about the robbery. in
fact, every effort has been made to keep
the affair secret. The HERALD, how
ever, is able to give the news in regard
to one of the most mysterious robberies
ever perpetrated in this city.
The strange part of the matter is that
the place was not broken into and the
trick was apparently done by some one
we'll acquainted with the store. The
safe is kept in room in the rear of the
store. The money was taken from the
safe and although there were diamonds
and other valuables in the safe, nothing
was taken but the money.
This is the second time that the safe
has been tapped inside of the past six
months. There is absolutely no clue to
the robber, and how he managed to get
into the safe is puzzler.
Aaron Greenwald, son of Morris
Greenwald, keeps the key of the store.
He resides at Mrs. Ferner's, on Hope
street. He cannot account for the rob-
berry but says that if the store was opened
with his key that some one must have
entered his room and drugged him in
order to have got possession Of the keys.
At all events, Mr.. Greenwald is out
$500, and he has not even the satisfac-
tion of knowing how the money disap-
peared. Altogether the case is most
peculiar one, and after the publication
of these facts, which will doubtless be
a surprise to the patrons OF the cigar
store, the detectives will take hand
in unravelling the mystery surrounding
the robbery.

"DON'T DIE, LILY"
TWO LOS ANGELES GIRLS AND
THEIR ANTICS IN OAKLAND.
An Impertinent Hackman Who Said They
Were Drunk-Their Names Unfortun-
ately Not Published-On Visit to an
Amt g.

Two frail little flowers of femininity
from the sun-kissed southern citrus belt,
who are enjoying brief taste of summer
recreation with relatives in the metro
politan community across the bay, came
over to Oakland on the 12 :15 O'Clock
boat last night, says Thursdays Oakland
Enquirer. Both were sweet little items
of feminine loveliness, and everybod y
was attracted in their direction by their
unpretentious and unintentional con-
spicuousness as they walked on to the
boat. They took seats on the rear upper
deck near the railing.
The boat had hardly pulled out of the
slip. when it was noticed that one OF the
two young ladies was laboring under un-
her head on her companions shoulder
moment she cried out, 'For Gods sake,
hold nv head, or 1 shall die" and her
companion became hysterical.

ladies and number of Oakland's gal

hands, all lent willing. hand to restore
the girl to consciousness, but without
success. Her hands were chafed, her
head was bathed, she was famed. But
she remained in an insensible condition.
The hystericsl young lady had grown
quite violent. She screamed at the top
OF her voice and had to be held with
main force. "For Gods sake, Lily, don't
die! 0, Lily Lily speak to me! You
poor little darling, l know you're going
to die! Lily!"
Thus she screamed all the way over
on the boat. She was prevented from
getting near her companion for fear she
would smother her. When the boat
pulled into the slip on the Oakland side
Lily was still unconscious. Five or ten
minutes were occupied in endeavoring
to bring her to her senses after the pas
sengers had left the boat, but without
success, and she was carried down and
taken aboard the train, which had been
kept in waiting.
On the train the scene upon the boat
was repeated, until the train reached
Broadway, when the girls were taken off
and given over to the tender care of two
gallant members os the police force, Of
ticers Aldrich and Felley, who took them
to Washington-street boarding house
and had the landlady safely tuck them
in their little beds to 60 to sleep.
This morning the girls had regained
their normal condition. They say they
are from Los Angeles and are on visit
to married sister in San Francisco.
They came to Oakland to visit an aunt
who lives on Seventh street. One of
the young ladies says that ''two real
impertinent hack drivers called at their
room in the lodging house this morning
and wanted to take them to break
fast"
Zone was impertinent enough" said
Los Angeles herald., 1891-07-05

The water in the Salton lake contin-
ues to rise. Yesterday it advanced on
the land nearly two inches and covered
up over 100 feet more of the bed OF old
Dry lake. 1t is now several inches deep
in the locomotive house at the salt fac
tory and is rapidly encroaching on the
big warehouse. At the rate at which
the water is rising, however, it will take
the flood four months to reach the
Southern Pacific tracks, which are sew
enteen feet higher than the salt works,
and as the lake is not over thirty inches
deep at its deepest point it will be seen
that there is very little danger of a wash
out on the railroad.
Superintendent J. A. Muir, of the
Southern Pacific, yesterday received the
following dispatch:
"SALToN, July 4.-The water has
raised one and one-half inches in the
last twenty-four hours. All things con-
sidered the water is very much fresher.
1 have no salometer.
GEORGE w. DURBRow.
The fact that the water has become
fresher indicates that the limits of the
salt beds over which it lies have been
passed and their influence on the water
will be less noticed hereafter.
Mr.. Durbrow has given up the idea
that the supply of the lake is subterra-
neous, and now believes the theory that
the water is coming in through Caressa
creek to be the true one. This "creek"
is dry channel connecting with the
New river basin. If this proves to be
the case the inflow will be limited, as
the water in the New river is falling
with the Colorado.
Advices from Yuma are to the effect
that the river is going down at that
point The railroad has asked the
sheriff at Yuma to get together gang
of Indians and 60 down the river as far
as Algodones to stop the breaks, but the
sheriff doesn't like the contract. Dur
ing the high water of February bank
of sand ten miles long was washed away
at this point, washing a new opening
from the Colorado into the New river.
Formerly, during an overflow, the waters
of the former stream backed up into the
New river from the south, but now the
point of debouchement is ten miles
above the old opening.
The permanency of the lake at Salton
depends on whether or not, when the
Colorado reaches its normal level. water
will continue to flow into the New river.
If it does, and flows in sufficient guam
titles to overcome the evaporation from
the immense surface now covered, the
Salton lake will remain as fixture.
This is very improbable, however, and
the chances are that within a few
weeks, if not days, the waters will begin
to recede.
