The public plaza, under the man.
agoment of Hans Nelson, the land
scape gardener, is beginning to as.
sumo condition which reveals the
plan OF improvement. 1t shows much
good taste and judgment of the artist

ing James McCabe, for a new trial
has not yet been heard by the court

In New YORK. - Mayor Robinson
started for New York city on Monday
last, to look after an interest which
he holds in an invention to raise
sunken vessels. The experiments
which have heretofore been made
with the apparatus, which mainly
consists of inflated bags, to be at
tached to the sunken vessel, are said
to be successful. Tom Cavanaugh
is said to hold an interest with Judge
Robinson.
AN EXCELLENT HOME FOR THE VIsI
ToR.-D. J. Quimby, representing the
favorite Quimby House, of Portland
Oregon, kept by his brother l.. P. W.
Quimby, was in the city Monday, on a
trip to the Sound. The Quimby is
centrally located, comfortable and
homelike, and those visiting Portland
who give it the preference we believe
will be satisfied with their treatment
by that veteran OF landlords, Mr.
Quimby.
A NEW COLLEGE PRoPosED.-The
Benedictine order is seeking location
for college in this State and Rev
Father Classens has induced represen.
tatives of that body to visit Olympus
to ascertain if desirable location may
not be secured near this city. A tracl
embracing at least 800 acres is re-
quired and it must possess good land
suitable for garden, park, meadow and
other agricultural purposes. The 10
cation should be two or three mile.
from town. The benefit to be derived
from the establishment of such an
educational institution in our midst
cannot be overrated, and is hoped
that an effort will be made to secure
the land. 1t is not asked as a gift
but the church is willing to pay q
reasonable price for good location.
ANOTHER NOTABLE DEATH.-That
misfortunes never come singly seems
TO be illustrated this week by the
death of two Of our prominent citizens
both pioneers, and both endeared to
the community by q wide circle of rel
atives and acquaintance. The second
victim OF the grim destroyer was
Nathan Patterson, a man who nearly
everybody knew and who commanded
the respect and affection of all with
whom he was brought into contact.
Mr.. Patterson came to this country
when boy, as far back as 1851, and
has been q continuous resident ever
since. He was in the Goth year oil
his age and unmarried. He was born
in Randolph county, Illinois. Death
came to him suddenly this morning
doubtless from heart disease. He died
without a moments warning. He was
a member of Olympia Lodge, 1. o. O.
F., under whose auspices he will be
buried.
