ABOUT TWO CITIES

Commodore Leaming's new yacht
MYTH had trial the other evening
and she gave promise Of being flyer.
-TAd. Spangenberger is an expert fish
erman, according to his own stories,
and, like old Iagoo, will not allow him
self to be beaten when IL comes TO re-
counting tales of piscatorial skill. He
went fishing the other day aud, on his
return, he was recounting the phenOm-
email success he had met with in Turing
the fish from their place Of abode, as
well as their abnormal size. He was
introduced to "a stranger, during the re-
cital of his fish yarn, and the stranger
said " would very much like ot
have have couple Of those trout 20
take home with me TO Port Towns
end.n Ad. looked worried; he had
either TO refuse the stranger, and, of
course, he wonldn't do that, or own up,
and 80, taking the Port Townsend man
to one side, lac said, in IA whisper, while
streaks of crimson bushes coruscated
up his face and took refuge in his ann
brosial locks: " Stranger, / didn't
catch nary trout"
Trout are being caught by the wagon
load at Lake Terrell and other portions
Of Whatcom county, and in many cases
the methods employed are of the pot
hunting kind. 4 board or plank ten
or fifteen feet long is brought into Use,
and on each side Of the plank, lines and
flies are attached. This machine Is
fastened to "a boat and 10y an arrange
ment Of the ropes it is shot out to one
- AZ a Ia,
its wake. The fish seize the flies with
avidity and in this way are taken by
scores each haul. As well-kuOwn
angler remarked the other day, " it Is
almost as bad as using dynamite"
The supposed drowning Of Miss Mel
| lie Hoigate in Lake Washington few
days ago, and the frutless efforts 10 re-
cover her body, recall IA drowning ac-
cident on Lake WhatcOm three years
ago. A party Of four were sailing on
! the lake, and in AL attempt TO recover
a lost oar the boat was upset and the
whole party precipitated into the
water. One Of the men managed to
get on top Of the boat and caught his
wife before she sank for the last time,
| The other two, "A man named McCor-
| kill and Mrs. Frank Wiuans, were
drowned. Some days afterwards the
mans body was found, but no trace Of
| Mrs. Winans was ever discovered.
r. l.. Aubrey and j. NJ. Acheson left
yesterday afternoon on prospecting
trip. They will go to Hope, b. e., and
thence to the Ruby creek placer mines,
and if they do not find what they are
looking for there, they will go up TO the
| Kootenai country. They expect to be
absent three or four months.
The BelIingham Bay Improvement
C0mpaBy's mill il probably the busiest
place on Puget sound. For many weeks
it has been running night and day
aud there are about 80 men on the
pay roll.
j. n. Bioedei, who returned on Sum
day from San Francisco says that
there is IA noticeable improvement In
the California coal market, due 10 the
small amount of coal coming from
! foreign countries. COlliers bringing
coal 10 San Francisco generally take q
return cargo Of wheat, and this cannot
| be had. The insurance on the Blue
| Canyon Company's cargo Of coal IN the
! Inflated Alaska was amicably settled,
/ but there Is likely to be "A contest over
| the Insurance of the vessel, which il
said to have been rotten from stem
to stern.
Il. T.. Bradley, editor of the Mis-
soula Democrat, with Mrs. Bradley, IL
registered at the Fairhaven. Mr.. and
/ Mrs. Bradley are on their bridal tour,
having been married few days ago at
| Missoula. Mrs. Bradley Is niece of
Mrs. w. {. Alierton, Of this city.
! The B y cities are Infested by sneak
thieves and other suspicious characters.
A residence on Twelfth street was en-
tered Monday and some money stolen.
On the same evening young lady was
accosted on Front street, by something
in maH's shape, and insulting remarks
were addressed to her. She escaped
from the Villains clutches and returned
to the friends house on whom she had
been calling aud remained there for
the night. Extra vigilance on the part
Of the police seems necessary.
A beautiful organ is to be given
away. For particulars call at the Pa
cific Shoe Store, 1875 Holly street, New
Whatcom. g. A. Watson, proprietor
