annual rental OF SO ,OCO. This Will b
800 less than the State is now pav
ing.
The dwelling now occupied by Mr.
Geo. Burntrager on the corner O
Washington and Seventh, is TO b,
removed to the corner OF Franklin
and Seventh, to make room for the
new court house.
1t seems very much in the true
order OF things that the Postmaster
should be the individual who brought
Post, the chic ken thief, to account
He is Postmaster, in more senses than
one to the culprit.
Mr.. II. $. Swecny who was arrested
IN Tacoma on a charge of forgery said
to have been committed in this city,
last week, had II hearing before Justice
Rathbun, last Monday, and in default
OF $500 bail money, was committed to
the county jail.
Senator Parkinson has accepted an
invitation from the Unity Club to de-
liver his lecture on civil Liberty and
its Preservation" at the Olympia
Theater, next Tuesday evening. An
instructive lecture and a full house
may be expected.
"Who are the Infidels ?" will be
the subject OF the sermon by Rev.
Napoleon Hoagland at the Unitarian
services in Tacoma hall next Sunday
morning. His evening subject will
be, "The Faith that Saves and the
Faith that Hurts"
Mrs. Mary NJ. Miller, of this city,
is building single mill at Kamilchie,
and clearing up her property adjacent
thereto. 1t is quite evident that the
suspension of railroad communication
with that place has not materially
affected her confidence in its prosper
ity.
The attractions booked for Olympia
Theatre, in the near future, are the
Kiralfa Comedy Co. ain Water
Queen" next Friday; Ole Olson, March
18th; the original Clemenceau Case,
with Miss Sybil Johnson in the lead
ing role, March 18th; Daniel Sully, in
" The Millionaire" March 31st, and
John Dillon April Sd and 4th.
The planking OF Fourth street goes
slowly on and the south side is now
nearly completed. 1t is quite evident,
however, that the usual extension of
time" will be asked. Very little at
tention is ever paid by contractors for
the city work to this requirement OF
their bond, as it has been so easy to
obtain extensions on the slightest pre-
text.
Mr.. Root gave notice at the adj
journed meeting OF the City Council,
Wednesday evening, that at the next
regular session he would tender his
resignation as Councilman, as he
would soon move to the Second Ward
and thereby become ineligible for the
office. 1t is thought that Mr.. Robt.
Mari will be his successor.
Westside property owners petition
for a renewal of Long bridge, and to
make it 80 feet wide. Why the bridge
should be wider than the street is not
apparent, and as the petitioners give
no reason it is scarcely probable that
so expansive structure will be built.
A large portion of the bridge was re-
quilt about eighteen months ago, and
that will probably not need renewal for
couple of years yet.
This has been the coolest week of
the winter so far, but a reference to
the meteorological table put lished in
this issue, shows that at no time has
the temperature fallen much below
the freezing-point. 1t is unlikely that
even this cold wave will continue long,
for the season is so late that soon The
Chinook winds" will prevail, and ice
and snow disappear under their genial
warmth as dew-drops under the sun
ray.
1t is predicted that more substantial
progress will be made in building
up the city next season than ever
before in the history of Olympia.
Brick blocks will 60 up, new resi-
dence buildings will spring up in every
portion of the city by the scores, the
business part is already spreading
out in all directions, and we actually
believe, that Olympia will witness
the biggest boom ever known in the
Northwest.
The County Attorney has made the
discovery that the vote was not suffi-
cient to authorize the issue of the
court house bonds. The total number
of votes cast was 1916, and three.
fifths are required. Three-fifths of
1,946 are 1,lS6, and only 1,116 were
actually cast for the proposition.
The Commissioners will meet Wednes-
day TO take action in the emergency,
and will probably authorize another
vote at as early date as possible.
Messrs. Large & Weeks, architects,
have prepared plans for fine struc.
ture to be erected by Frank Howard,
corner Of Third and Main streets, next
season. 1t will be built of stone and
have frontage OF Is feet on Main
street and 121 on Third, and be four
stores high. The ground floor will be
devoted to three stores fronting on
Main, two 80 and one 12O feet deep,
and one fronting on Third so feet deep.
The upper stories will be so construct
ed that the building can be adapted to
hotel use if 80 desired.
Mr.. Geo. A. Barnes will begin the
erection, early in the Spring, of a
