FLorKlsnING. - Nashon College
opens its next term ON the 18th of
August, with largely increased
faculty.
No Loss WITHOUT GAIN.-Thc late
rains have done one good thing. They
have secured good juicy crop OF
Strawberries.
IMPROVING. - Luke Carney and
Leander Ericsson, well-known loggers,
who have been in the hospital for re-
pairs, are improving. and will soon be
able to renew their wrestling with the
giants of the forest.
THE "ICE CREAM" SEAsON.-The
church festival business il fairly
opened, and like carnival season in
Spanish countries, one can take his
best girl and have a good time about
every evening in the week.
CAPITOL COMMission.-The mem
bers of the Capitol Commission have
qualified, with the exception of Mr..
McReavy, who has not been heard
from in any way. Governor McGraw
has telegraphed requesting him to
qualify as soon as possible so meet
ing OF the board can be held.
WAIT AND SEE.-The same prophet
who, fifteen years ago, predicted that
Olympia and Tumwater would be CON
nected by a street railway, now says
that the two towns will be u compac
city within five years, with a popula-
ton of 10000. Don't disturb the
seer, but let him keep right on
prOphesying.
RECEIVED INFoRMATION.-The Sur
veyor General has received information
from the Interior department that the
report of Special Inspector Olive is
satisfactory. There need be, there
fore, no further delay in delivery of
the contracts for survey of 81 town
ships, after the formality of their
approval is announced by the depart
ment.
QUEEN ESTHER. - The cantata of
Esther, -" the beautiful" will be given
at Olympia Theater, tonight, by the
ladies of the First Baptist Church.
The chorus will consist of seventy-five
voices. The Olympia Theater Orches-
ira will appear in support of the
following well.known sOloists: Queen,
Mrs. Diven; King, Mr.. Hill; Mordecai,
Gen. O'Brien, and Hannah, S. c.
Woodruff.
LET THERE BE No DELAY.-Now
that the Governor has wisely appoint
ell the Capital Commission, the peo-
pie of the State have right to see q
prompt beginning made towards the
erection of a suitable State house.
Better ground for foundation never
existed than the sight of the old build
ing. Material OF all kinds can be had
within our immediate vicinity and
there should be no excuse for official
delay in outlining the work. "HO for
the Capitol" is the watchword.
EMERGENCY BoARD.-It was thought
that a meeting of the Emergency board
would be held as soon AS Auditor
Grimes returned, but further delay
will be occas oned by the absence from
the State Of State Treasurer Bowen,
who is a member of the board. The
applications for permission to create
Indebtedness continue to come in, and
are carefully filed away by Secretary
Price, who says he does not feel at
liberty TO make them public until the
date OF the meeting has been set.
FELL FIFTEEN FEET WITHOUT In.
JURY.-Remarkably lucky were the
ho!ses which fell through an apron on
Long bridge, leading to a shed, on
which the team had started to deliver
a load of wood. Just as their weight
came upon the side structure it fell,
and the horses by some extraordinary
good luck became disingaged from the
wagon, leaving it standing on the
bridge. Their fall was quite fifteen
feet, but thanks to the sOftness of the
mud, they were uninjured and after
houndering about for while, they
reached the channel and swan ashore
at Fifth street. J. E. Harpel, the
owner OF the team, was in charge of
it ut the time OF the disaster.
