evening
whereby A. H. Anderson succeeds to
the interests of Mark H. Draham i'll
the Mason County Logging Company
something over one-quarter OF the
capital stock of the concern. This
change is evidently good thing to all
parties concerned, as the interests of
the logging Company are now identi-
cal and practically part of the Wash
| ington Southern Company, less fric-
ton will result and the numbering con-
Germ will be likely to commence work
again, before they might otherwise do
so in order to give employment to the
railroad. In consideration for his
stock Mr.. Draham gets the following
property: The Pittman block, the lot
On which Drolet's shop stands, and
that occupied by Wright Bros. butcher
shop, and two lots on Fifth street, also
the Beria Wiley farm, and the slaugh-
ter house ranch on SCOTS Prairie.
Besides this he receives about $1,000 in
good co1laterals. The trade is one of
the largest which has occurred in
Shelton for long time.
PLANS FOR THE CAPITOI..-John Nc
Reavy is now in Olympia attending
session of the Capitol Commission.
The main business of the meeting is
for the examination of the numero us
plans submitted by architects for the
proposed State Capitol building at
Olympia. This call for plans has at
tracted the attention of architects all
over the United States, and at last &C
count. Wednesday morning, there
were no less than ninetythree sets of
plans at hand, with several days yet
to hear from. They came by mail, by
express and freight, the postage on
one set amounted to S4.15. The esti-
mated cost is limited to one million
dollars, and the commissioners will
probably have an interesting time
deciding on the plan suitable. The
accepted plans will bring a handsome
price, while the next three or four of
best merit, will also pay their draughts-
man we'll.

LA GRIPPE. Few, indeed, but will
remember the epidemic of Ia grippe
that passed over the world last year,
and this neck o the woods last winter.
Nearly every body had 4 ''sneezy"
time Of it, bit there were no deaths to
record in this immediate vicinity.
Something akin to the grip" is again
visiting us, in which nausea is 4 pro-
minent symptom, and quite number
OF families have one or more members
sick 1t is likely due, i'll part, to the
dog salmon nuisance; and that is
something that steps should be taken
early next year to remove as far as
possible. The town Council have men
at work burying all the carcasses lying
in the creeks.
DRESS REFORM.-Severa1 of the
ladies have inaugurated a dress reform
in Shelton, and if you see any of the
''Rainy day brigade" on the streets,
don't make remarks about them. The
bifurcated skirt may be a relic of
crankism, but the short skirt is very
sensible reform, and certainly can
look no worse than a mud-bedragg1e
dress on the sterets, while it saves
power of work in cleaning up from d
trip clown town" Smile gently on
| this innovation.

Is his answer conclusive on the
