WHArcoM, March 25.-(Special. IAN ef-
fort is being made to extend Fourteenth
street northwest to connect with Prospect
and Bay streets. II will be of great benefit
to a large portion of the business COM
munity.
All harbor line work is held in allegiance
pending the decision of the Seattle case in
the supreme court. Bellingham Bay is
anxious to have the harbor line settled
and the tide lands sold, but all must await
the decision of the supreme court, because
important questions are involved in the
Seattle case.
A number Of the best farmers in What
com county are trying to arrange for .
county fair at Whatcom this fall.
Cedar shingles are now being shipped
from the Bellingham mill to Chicago.
It is more than month since Mr.. Lusk,
of this city, mysteriously dropped out of
the world, whether by suicide or other
wise nobody seems to know, and few, if
any, appear to care. He was an honest,
industrious man, in the prime of life, when
by accident he lost leg while ranching at
Lake Whatcom. During the early part of
the legislative session he held clerical
position in the Senate, but had to resign
because Of i'll health. He came home only
to disappear, leaving wife and child. It
is strange that man can drop out of the
world so easily and leave no trace behind.
Judge Scott and other residents at the
west end of town are desirious of having
Keeslingville and other territory west of
the city annexed to the city Of Whatcom.
The city fathers are said to favor the prop
osition to extend the city limits.

ABERDEEN, March 25.-[Special. by .
heavy majority the taxpayers of this
district decided Saturday to authorize the
school directors to issue bonds in the sum
of So. 900 to raise funds for the erection of
a new and commodious central school
house.
There's new gold excitement in town.
This evening man named Robert Smith,
who is holding claim some seven miles
from Aberdeen. arrived with a number of
fine specimens of placer gold. Among these
are two or three nuggets as large as half q
pea, and other good ones. Smith refuses
to disclose the whereabouts Of his find but
says it is within ten miles of Aberdeen.
Acfing-Goyernor Laughton's veto Of the
act TO make time-checks for labor negoti-
able has been quite freely denounced here
among workingmen. While no laborers
in our mills have suffered from the time
check imposition, railroad men are daily
losing money from that cause and hoped
this bin would relieve them.
A man named N. G. Werthrod died at
Hoquiam Saturday and was buried Sunday
by the Odd Fellows, to which fraternity
he belonged. Deceased was 81 years old. a
native of Illinois and member Of Kickopee
Lodge No. 80, of Charleston, Ill. He had
never been days travel away from his
native home until his trip to this country,
and died only week after arriving, being
taken to his bed the evening he reached
here. There was question about his
being in good standing in the order of Odd
Fellows, but the fact that he was deserv-
ing and suffering stranger was enough to
secure him attendance during his illness
and decent funeral at death.

the expressions of approval more marked and
fattering as the week grows older It speaks
highly for the Cordray management that it has
brought together performers who are capable OF
producing such drama as that which occupies
the stage this week. The various roles are es-
sayed with efficiency which rebounds con-

Although Herman Meyer, the butcher whose
ninety-eight hogs were condemned by the
health department because they were said to be
afflicted with hog cholera, has not vet filed q
complaint in his threatened damage suit against
the city. he still avers that he has not changed
his mind.
The slaughtered hogs are still hanging up in
Meyers slaughter-house on the Grant street

An Old Logger Taken to the Hospital
Unconscious.
Steve Mclain, an old and we'll known logger
OF Puget sound, lies in an unconscious condi-
ton at Providence hospital, the result either of
a protractcd drunk or of q 'sdope" administered
in a saloon
McLain came to Seattle from Utsalady Tues
day afternoon, and put up at the Dereg hotel on
South Second street. After supper he went out
and did not come in until late at night, when he
arrived under the influence of liquor In the
morning he was brought in unconscious from
neighboring saloon, and was at once sent to
Providence hospital DIR. Willard was called,
but he could not bring the patient back to con-
seriousness, and he will probably die without
coming out OF the comatose condition.
McIain came to the sound from Maine in 1854
and has lived drunkards life nearly or quite
all OF the twenty-seven years since that time

only fifty men at work on the streets for the
city-a smaller number than any time since a
year or more before the fire The largest num-
her at work at one time was so. and the average
number has been between 100 and 30.

lecture, 'Chalk Talk" Friday, March q, in the
Methodist Protestant church, corner Pine and

minds and visions OF his audience. During il
