GENTLEMEN; l have read the charges
preferred in council last evening againt me

being grave and intended to affect
professional character, respectfully re-
quest that your honorable body receive
sworn evidence and that no testimony be
received otherwise.
Before making a defense I take it for
granted that the established custom of re-
quiring evidence in support of charges will
be observed, and that G. L. Sickels will at
once produce such evidence as he may see
fit to use.
Trusting that in your hands these long
delayed charges may have a full and fair
investigation, and assuring my purpose to
facilitate that end, 1 am respectfully yours,
MILLARD LEMON.

WANTS MORE MONEY
Architect Ritchie Makes a De
mand on the County.

The Commissioners Hold That He
Has Received Ample Pay i'm Pro-
portion to the work Done-What
ur. Ritchie Contends.
Architect Ritchie, Of the new court
house, is having quite time in securing
his pay for professional services as arehi-
tect, and he has demanded Of the county
commissioners a definite understanding in
relation to his warrant.
The outcome Of the matter promises to
be interesting, but the commissioners
have decided to take determined stand.
Mr.. Ritchie has submitted statement
of his account, demanding the immediate
payment of his voucher for $45S. The com
missloners, on the other hand, claim that
he has been paid fully in proportion to the
amount Of work done, and that he has not
complied with the terms Of his agreement,
in that in addition to furnishing full pro-
fessional services, he also agrees to furnish
superintendent for the work. This he
failed to do.
The commissioners contend that Mr..
Rltchle was to have had five per cent of
the contract price of the court house,
which was $1O7,300, and which would give
him 1858. The architect, however, claims
the five per cent on the approximate cost
the building, t$114,0OO) the difference being
the cost Of raising the foundation. Mr.
Ritchie claims for his entire commission
$500. Of this amount, he has already
received $4,000, and of the 81, 100 claimed
yet to be due, he demands the immediate
payment of $458, which the commissioners
refuse, for the reason above stated
Mr.. Ritchie also claims that the terms 81
his agreement call for the payment o1
three per cent of the cost of the building
upon the letting of the contract, and
OF two per cent, on the estimates al
lowed the contractors. On the othel
hand again, the commissioners STATE
that Mr.. Mr.. Ritehie was paid $4,000 Wher
the contract was let, and that no time was
specified for the payment of the balance
From time to time, however, he has beer
paid amounts aggregating $4,000, which the
commissioners hold is enough for the pres
ent. The architect left the city Yesterday
IN anything but pleasant humor and has
given the commissioners to understand
that he desires an immediate and definite
settlement

ssTHE OLYMPIA OYSTER. ;,
How it is Cultivated in Puget Sound
Some of the Farms.

Some Of the Farms.
The Mason County Journal gives an ac-
count Of the manner of oystering in the
waters of Puget Sound What are called
the Olympia oysters come from Oyster
Bay in Mason county and from Mud Bay
and other localities in Thurston county.
In fact, all of the Washington oysters,
even those coming from Pacific county,
when exported to Portland, are called tie
Olympia oyster "The oysters - saws the
Journal, ARE gathered when very small
from their natural beds and channels and
taken to the oyster grounds which are
owned by individuals and there scattered.
Each oysterman is allowed by law to hold
eighty acres of oyster grounds, but many
! hold as much more, some as high as two
hundred acres. The oyster grounds must
have at least three feet of water over them
and must also run dry so that they can be
4 cleaned. The best oysters grow on the
lower grounds that only go dry five or six
times each year at the extreme low tides.
The higher grounds are uncovered nearly
half the time and are liable to be frozen
and the crop spoiled during cold snap,
besides the oysters being poorer.
The oysters planted on these grounds are
left three years when they are large enough
for market and are gathered as clean as
possible. They are first sorted and the
small oysters thrown back while the large
ones are placed in what is known as ''cull
beds' to remain until fall. The gathering
referred to is done in the early fall and at
the time Of the spring tide. During the
Il spawning season from June LIST to Sept
1st, the oysters are so poor as to be hardly
fit for market, and usually those in the
deep water are the only beds worked.
A The oysterman's outfit consists of floats
boats, tongs and baskets. The tongs re
semble two long handled rakes, pointing
toward each other and the handles fas
tened in the middle, so they work like q
pair of shears.
Each oysterman has several boats and
one or more floats built Of cedar logs
which are used in gathering and sorting
The baskets used are made by Indians and
hold about three pecks. For gathering X
cents per sack and sorting 25 cents extra il
paid. At the present time the Indians and
Others with no outlay Of capital gather
oysters from the numerous natural beds
around the sound, and this cuts considera
bly, into the trade of the legitimate oyster
man, who buys or takes up suitable
ground and cultivates them, Just as the
farmer clears and FARMS his claim. There
are certain seasons, however, in which
trespassing upon the natural beds is un
lawful.
