-Westport World.
Captain A. M. Simpson, of San Fran
cisco, is expected soon again to be in Ho-
GUAM, and lis coming is generally pro-
ductive Of some good to the little city
which seems to have quite captivated the
plain and hearty old millionaire. Wash
ingtonian.
A few weeks since we referred to a
pansy grown here which measured three
inches in diameter. We now have to re-
port a still larger specimen. 1t was raised
by Mrs. w. Fl. Bush, and measures 81
inches across. This is wonderful coun-
try for flowers, and there is little excuse
for not having them grown profusely in
every garden.-Vidette.
Parties who contemplate building and
operating creamery, at or near Satsop
station, would be pleased to meet all the
farmers and dairymen of Chehalis county
at the Sherwood schoolhouse, at Satsop,
on Tuesday May "a, at Up. m. Come
and meet them and hear what they pro-
pose to do, it will be of interest to yor.
For any further particulars call on or a6-
dress, G. G. Morgan, Satsop, Wash.
The schooner North Bend, Captain
Wallace, arrived in Wednesday and
moored at the Hoquiam Mills warehouse.
She is loading at Cosmopolis as there is
not room for her at Hoquiam, although
both mills are running full time. The
Webfoot has been detained also for lack
OF spruce lumber in hei orders, as the
mill has been to busy with previous or.
ders. -Washingtonian.
L The Aberdeen "bloods' amused them
selves and disgusted everybody else at
the Point last sunday by frequently
shouting in maudlin tones-"Whazzer
mazzer with ABERDEEN" The answer
was easy. Ocosta beer served in the
Hamer pavilion "wazzer mazzer."-
Ocosta Pioneer. 1t was pretty thoroughly
and generally understood that the
"5loods" from the neigbboring towns
were too hard up even to pay for beer.
Some doubt the building Of another
ship this summer by Captain Simpson.
All the present signs We have to affirm
the building OF one is that the Hoquiam
mills are now turning out ship timbers
in the way of planking, etc, and storing
them in the yard ready for use, and that
two ships boats arrived here for the COM
pany on the Webfoot not designed for
any boat here, as the Cleaners long
boat is being built at the shipyard now
by Russian Jack, as he is most generally
known. 1t is custom of Captain Simp-
son never to start the building of vessel
until the one previously built is received
at Frisco and approved. Captain Rob-
ert Lawson has the rigging of the Cleaner
and will very likely take her to the city,
where she will be permanently differed.
Meanwhile Captain Johnson, his trusted
mate, stands by the Travellers wheel.
