law, in the East, stating that he can

\ WELC ME NISIToR-C. w. Ever
est. who with Mr.. Wellington, en-
gagged extensively in street contracting
in this city, a couple of years ago, now
OF Portland, visited our city Monday,
mainly 10 see Mr.. Aten, who WAS so
j feariully crushed while i'll the employ
! OF those gentlemen, at Astoria, a year
or more ago. Mr.. Everest is now
building the canal that will connect
! the Yakima and Columbia rivers, So
miles in length.
! The MISTAKE l. Now APPAKENT.-
/ The mistake made in not widening
Fourth street when it could have been
done at a moderate expense is now
/ apparent. Property owners and ten
ants are setting back their fences to
what would have been the line had an
eighty-foot street been decided upon.
| Although this leaves the sidewalk ap-
parently in the street, the change
greatly improves the premises for
| business purposes.
MEETS His REWARD. - William
Cooper, at one time a member of the
Salvation Amy in this place, was
sent over the road to Walla Walla, a
few days ago, by Judge Denny, OF
Snohomish, under a government
contract" which will involve hard
labor for five years. Cooper, in a
sport of enterprise, burglarized a store
at Everett some time ago, which ex-
hibition of push and energy secured
for him the job at Walla Walla.

The SAME OLD GAME.-A slick
Hinghlishman played the confidence
game on some of our people, last week,
in manner that is grievous to relate
1t ended with a number OF debts, and
endorsement OF draft by one OF the
victims. The proposition was to start
cannery. A site was selected-on
the Westside. Stock was taken-by
some of the residents. But the ex-
pected remittance" did not come, as
usual, and the remainder of the pro-
gramme was worked as usual.
A MOTLEY Conference.-The States
sale of cold horse" Saturday, aggre-
gated $3.50. 1t consisted of stoves,
dishes, saddles, carpets, desks, chairs,
ETC., the accumulated remnants OF
many years of official life. Gov.
Laughton's side-board did not appear
amid the debris, but Gov. Stevens
desk was there, and fortunately at the
eleventh hour. the thought occurred
to those having charge of the sale,
that the relic was one that should be
preserved by the State, and it was ac-
cordingly withdrawn from sale.
THE Mud BAY BRIDGE.-The County
Commissioners, at their meeting last
Monday, awarded the contract for con-
struc,ion of the Mud Bay bridge to
Savage, Scofeld & Lindland, for $6l0

FINE PorAToEs.-Mr. Horr has just
received from Yakima shipment Of
potatoes that beat anything of that
kind in the market. They are large,
possesses a smooth, transparent skin,
and when cooked are mealy and white
as snow. 1t is unnecessary to state
that potatoes bearing those character.
istics possess, likewise, the requisite
flavor. The Yakima potatoes. during
such a season as this, with a prepon.
derance OF rain, are far superior to the
Puget Sound product. which becomes
soggy from an undue preponderance
OF moisture.
LIES REvERsEs-A few years ago
no individual was more familiar to the
eye, on the street, than Contractor
Casebeer, who in connection with
others, did much of the street grading.
He was man of onsiderable energy,
perseverance and much plausibility,
and might have succeeded in business,
possibly, had he not " tarried too long"
over beer. He fell into disrepute with
his associates, and left for other parts.
Remittance of him was revived by the
visit this week of Mr.. Everest, who
saw him few days ago in San Fran
cisco. The world had not gone we'll
with him. He is making precarious
livelihood by peddling patent medi-
cines.
