A Shrewd Operator.

An Olympian who owns good deal of
town and county real estate says he has
struck it rich. He estimates that if the
postal cards he has received containing an
cient delinquent tax notices were ground
up into pulp, they would make ton of
hne quality paper. The agent of an east
ern paper mill company has already ten
dered him a handsome sum for the raw
material. He is only waiting now to re-
ceive few gross more of the postal cards
from County Attorney Aver, as he wants
to send the whole business by one ship

The Bad Judgment of a RaPaciOus
Land Owner.

In view of the numerous tax suits now
pending in the superior court, persons
whose property is thereby placed in jeop-
ardy will be interested in an incident that
occurred several years ago in which a
rapacious property owner made himself
the laughing stock of the community.
He owned considerable land which was
rented and leased to numerous tenants.
When the tax assessor came along he as
sessed the property against the various oc-
cupants, not being able to locate the own
er. Quite naturally some Of it went delin-
quent and was offered for sale. The real
owner of the land read the notice, chuckled
to himself and remarked to a friend that
he intended to buy the land in, as it would
be a rare bargain. He did so, being very
careful to obtain duly accredited sheri17s
deed. 1t was not until he had parted with
the amount due on taxes and the costs of
the suit that he discovered how he had
bought in his own property that had been
assessed in the name of a tenant.

The Wedding Postponed.

John Gordon, farmer in a small way, of
Lake county, Indiana, has a son who is be-
trothed to a lassie living in the nearest vii
lage, but poverty deferred the nuptial rite.
few days ago Gordon ST. received a green
goods" circular, and, dazzled by its glitter
ing promises, he mortgaged his little farm
for $500 and forwarded the money. 1t was
agreed that Gordon jr. should have the
proceeds to settle him in life, minus the
amount necessary to lift the mortgage.
Later Gordon received a return for his
investment in the shape of box by ex-
press, charges unpaid and filled with saw

THE FLEETWOOD.
Unable to Get on the Gridiron for
Repairs.
She Bids Farewell TO Olympia and
Steams Away to TacOma--A
Famous Puget sound Boat TAX

She Bids Farewell to Olympia and
Steams Away TO TacOma--A
Famous Puget sound Boat TAX
ing a Rest.
After remaining in Olympia three days
for the purpose of going on the gridiron
and undergoing repairs and a thorough
overhauling, and failing in that object, the
trim little steamer Fleetwood left for Ia
coma yesterday afternoon.
The occasion of the failure to get on the
gridiron was due to the peculiar sharpness
of the boats hull, a so-called detect that
has been the source of no little trouble.
When the boat first arrived the tide was in
that stage when it does not rise as high as
it does at other times. An effort was made
to get on the gridiron provided for the ac-
commodation of the steamer 1.-The Doctor"
but the Fleetwood's sharp keel ruled her
out of the contest. 1t was out of the ques-
tion to go on PercivaPs gridiron, because
there was nothing to keep the boat from
falling over when the water went out
The sharp bottom of the Fleetwood gives
her speed but it makes it dangerous to
hover in the neighbOrhOOd of mud flats
. ! - pun ANluOlOuo OOGdoAOAlS bl4U DOdb mas
collided with the bottom of the bay during
low tide and when the water would go out
she would topple over. When the tide
came in again the boat would fill and lay
there until another boat came along and
propped her up so the water could run
out. 1t was customary, in doing this, to
take big float out lash it to the water
logged steamer and let the tide do the
lifting. So long as the Fleetwood kept off
the mud flats she was a clipper She came
around the bend on her visits to Olympia
with the regularity of a clock and was al
ways welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd
Preceding and during the construction of
the Northern Pacific, and when Olympia
was wild with the excitement of an old
fashioned "bOOm," the arrival and depart
ure of the Fleetwood was the great event
of the day.
The Fleetwood cleared $1,000 per month
for some time, but ere. long competition
and dull business cut her income down so
she barely cleared expenses.

five CARS OF LUmnER.
Marked Increase in the Leading In
duslrY of Olympia.

Five cars of lumber were loaded by the
Westside Milling Company for shipment
to outside points. This activity is due to
the recent receipt of orders for 1856, 900 feet
of lumber. Of this amount 18O, 900 feet will
be shipped to down the sound points, and
$1,000 feet will go east. Some of the lum-
Der shipped from this state comes into di-
rect competition with the lumber mills of
Michigan and other states. When the
Great Northern railroad is completed it
will afford an outlet for the lumber mills
that will have wonderful effect upon the
general financial situation. Lumber mills
that are now on the verge of bankruptcy
will spring into life, and the cry Of "hard
Times" will become a thing of the past
The lumber business is the barometer of
prosperity on Puget Sound.

THE REPUBLICAN LOVE-FEAST.

Yesterday. before the organization of
the State committee, there was. as is the
custom, q meeting of leading Repub-
licans from all parts of the State. These
meetings for years have been memora-
Bile occasions. but men who have at
tended them for twenty years assert
that in point of attendance, in the high
and influential character of those who
were present, and in the earnestDess and
courage which characterized all the ad-
dresses, yesterdays meeting has never
been surpassed. Every district was
represented by Republicans whose
names are connected with the his
tory of the party for a genera
ton in Indiana, and also by young
and enthusiastic men who give thelocal
organization vigor and purpose. From
every locality reports of excellent feel
ing, of united purpose and Jealous work
in organization were brought, and each
one of the three hundred who were
present took back to his home tidinRs
of courage which will give renewed
yigor to the campaign which has already
