OF Ole &. Hanson and Miss Bertha
Kneeland occurred at the home of the
brides parents, early last Saturday
morning and the couple left on the
$50 boat to spend about ten days visit
ing in Seattle. The ceremony was
performed by Justice Baldwin and no
one was present excepting Senator
Knee1and's family, Fred Stabenfeldt
and Miss Fannie Covi1l, groomsman
and bridesmaid. The bride has spent
a larger part of her life in Shelton,
while Mr.. Hanson is we'll known by
| his several years connection with the
Washington Southern Railroad Com
pany, and from his present interest in
the popular firm of McLarty, Hanson
& Co. Both have host of friends and
we'll wishers, who join in congratula-
tons. Announcements were issued by
| this office, as mementos of the ocCaS-
ion to their many friends. The happy
couple will be sat home'' after
Thanksgiving and will reside in the
Senator's new mansion.
SALMON HEADS.-Mr. MCGOWAN, an
old time Gamer on the Columbia, says
that when he first began canning, the
old settles engaged all the salmon
heads, which are now thrown away.
But now the older residents are pretty
well gone, the taste for the former
delicacy is lost, and the new and
younger residents could not think of
eating boiled salmon heads. And as
to dog salmon, the first he put up five
years ago, for samples, were not a sue
cess and found no market but now he
could sell two cases of dog salmon to
one of the finer quality. The main
difference was i'll the price, and thous-
andS OF cases are now put up and sold
I'll the East for general use. Perhaps
the only reason for the people of this
country for reviling the dog salmon is
because of our familiarity with the
fish, in all its conditions. undoubtedly
these fish are edible and nice in ordi-
nary shape, and no difference could be
distinguished by an epicure.
ADvERTIsING.-Th O1ympian-Tri-
bune is making considerable complaint
because some of the firms do not ad-
vertise, claiming that it costs $1,000 a
month to keep the breath of life in that
paper. Judging from the columns of
the Olympia papers the business is not
there, else the merchants are foolish in
not making big rustic for the best of
the trade. In dull times, even more
than in good times, is advertising a
business proposition. Now people look
twice at d dollar, and want to know
the place where they can make it go
the farthest, and the business man who
gets the trade and keeps it, is on the
top shelf.
VASHON COLLEGE.-The Vashon Col
1ege is evidently flourishing, as OH
Monday of last week, the corner stone
of the comm ercia1 building was edi-
Gated with appropriate ceremony and
it was a gala day at the college, Rev.
S. w. Beaver officiating at the ser
vices. The new structure will be of
brick, 1O0x36 feet, and three stories
high, including a basement for gym
naS1um. The annual catalogue recent
1y issued, shows cut of the new
building.
Poor MAILS.-Poor old Olympia.
The Northern Pacific has withdrawn
ms Sunday trains, but they get little
''stub'' mail from Tenino on Sunday.
In this connection the Olympian-Tri-
bune has been doing considerable !
kicking about its mail service. Per-
haps that paper can sympathize with
Shelton, as we are even on the tail end
of their 1neas1y service. Kick the ad-
ministration.
MULTNOMAH LAID UP,-The Multno-
NAH has made her last trip for about |
month, having hauled up on the grid |
iron for about $4,000 worth of new bot |
tom and other repairs for the winter.
The Aberdeen takes her run, and |
hence no boat will connect with the |
Willie at noon for down sound points. |
The Clara Brown. however, leaves |
Shelton at 1 O'CLOCK on Tuesday, |
Thursday and Saturdays.
