double folding doors lead from ii to the
main hallway. Opening from the
council chamber is the city clerks
office, with large fire proof vault for
the storage of the city's archives and
other valuable papers. Across the hall
from the clerks Office is the office of
the city treasurer, and this is also pro-
vided with fire proof vault. From
the treasurer's Office you pass into an
other snug office, but no assignment
has yet been made as to what uses il
will be put. Opposite the council
stairway, connected with the hall by
folding doors, is the room which will
be occupied by the police justice, and
the chief of police.
With the exception of the hallway
the interior furnishings are of cedar,
and the different offices have been well
arranged both as to convenience and
comfort. Closets and lavatories are
near at hand.
The stairway leading to the second
story is of oak and is handsome in de-
sign and of beautiful finish. On the
Rcond floor there will be a large
assembly room, with anterooms, and
a gallery, but this will not be finished
at present. The building will be
heated with hot water and lighted by
gas and electricity. Stoddard Il HEM
have had charge of the plumbing.
There is a commodious basement in
which is placed the machinery for
heating and which will also be used for
the storage of coal, etc.
In round numbers the building,
which is three storys in height, will
cost about S45, 900 exclusive of furniture
and fixtures. The furniture has been
ordered in Chicago and Portland, that
from the latter city being expected at
once. The light fixtures and heating
apparatus were furnished by the Pacific
Heat and Power company, of Seattle,
On the four sides of the tower pro-
vision has been made for as many
clocks to point out the hour to the
citizens below.
When the city council and the city
officials shall have taken possession of
their new quarters, which will be on
Monday, there will be no more COM
fortably housed municipal Legislators
and officials on the Pacific coast.

NEW WHAYCOM CITY HALL
A Handsome Brick Structure Over
looking the Bay
TO BE OCCUPIED THIS WEEK
Spacious omces For the City ofhcials
and Large Assembly Room For
the Council

The Bellingham bay cities are not old
enough to boast Of many fine public
buildings, although in the plumber and
character of private residences and bust
ness blocks, they will compare more
than favorably with many Of the older
and Weather cities.
The Fairhaven hotel. the court house,
the Roth block, Lighthouse block, the
Bellingham Bay National bank, be-
sides many neat private residence, at
test TO the taste, culture and substan-
TALLY of our citizens.
A new public building will soon be
added to the list. This is New What
CONS new city hall, whose goodly pro-
portions stand out in bold relief, with
Mount Baker looking into the front
entrance at Prospect street, while a
magnificent panoramic view Of the
beautiful bay and the islands, and the
Olympic range may be seen from the
south.
The building is gothic in design and
occupies a commanding position on
Prospect street, near the corner of
Champion. This site was selected after
work had actually begun on another on
Dock street. A vigorous protest against
the Dock street site caused the selection
OF the present and work was shortly
after begun upon the foundation, about
January IA, 1892.
The building is Of pressed Portland
brick, of good quality, with a main
tower rising from the center and a
miniature tower on each corner. The
plans were furnished by A. Lee, who
was also the supervising architect. The
contractors were Long Il Merritt, of
Anacortes.
The various offices and rooms have
been designed for the comfort and con-
venience Of the officials and the gem
eral public. Passing up the stone steps
at the main entrance, and passing
through the massive oaken doors, the
first room to the left as you enter the
spacious hallway, maple wainscoted,
is to be occupied by the water depart
ment. Opposite, on the right are two
neat rooms which will be set apart for
the especial use and behoof of the may
ors of the city A door leads from the
mayors offices to the room which will
for the present be used as a council
chamber. 1t is large and airy and

mer, is to do what he can to have her
win one of the prizes.
The Hornet, of New Whatcom,
which proved herself so speedy i'm last
summers races, is to be fitted with a
new suit of sails, made in the East and
now on their way here, and an effort
will be made to have her show a better
record than is already credited to her,
and there are those who have conf
dence that she is a much faster boat
than she proved herself during the
past summer when she made such a
fine showing at Anacortes, and would
doubtless have been the first boat to
cross the line at Seattle, but for a
serious mishap which disabled her
early in the race.
All the old timers of Seattle, which
proved themselves racers in the re-
gattas last fall, are being put in condi-
ton to have try for the international
trophy. The Hettie Bell, the Idle
wilde and the American have been
newly painted, worn out rigging re-
placed by new and larger sails added
where thought advisable, and several
new racers constructed. Commodore
Sander, of Seattle, is having a yacht
built at the Hall shipyard at Port
Blakeley, which is said to be on the
lines of the celebrated Scotch cutter
Madge which made such wonderful
record in Eastern waters a few years
ago. 1t is reported that he obtained
the model and plans directly from the
original builders and has followed
them to the minutest detail, and pro-
poses to carry the prizes back to Seattle
with him. If this counterpart sails as
well as the original he will doubtless
succeed in his efforts. The owner of
the Hettie Bell has built a new and
much larger boat, which will be in
readiness for the regatta, and if she
sails as well as the former yacht, will,
without doubt, be near the front of the
procession when the race is decided
In addition to the yachts of last wear
and these two new ones to be entered
from Seattle, there are several others
building, which will make total of
ten from that city to take part in the
regatta. Port Townsend Is to enter
the yacht Francel, which has not as
yet had a chance to show her speed,
and will also enter a new fin-keel sloop,
which will probably be the smallest
craft in the fleet.
Victoria yachtsmen have built sew
eral new boats during the past winter,
one or more of which is of the center
board class, and these together with
the yachts Of last summer will take
part. 1t is proposed that yachts on the
Sound meet in Port Townsend and sail
a sweepstakes race from there to Vic
toria, and the proposition is generally
being received with favor.
The annual meeting of the North
western International Yachting AssoCi-
alton takes placein the evening after the
races, when the winners will be de-
clared, the place of holding the regatta
in 1894 decided upon, officers for the
year elected and such other business
transacted as may be brought before
the delegates.
Several yachtsmen from the Bay will
go to Victoria to view the races, and
the Seattle club is to send steamer
load Of enthusiasts, which indicates
that more interest will be taken in this
race than has ever before been mani
tested in any similar event.

SECRET SOCIETIES
A. o, U. w.


The A. o. U. w. still continues to
prosper. They have added to their
list of membership in the past six
months the names of over twenty-five
able-bodied men, which represents a
guarantee on behalfof the order to pay
to the widows, orphans, or those de-
pendent on them for support, the sum
of $250,000 at their death. A great
number who have not taken the trouble
to look the matter up, have an idea
that this order is for the benefit of
laboring men only, but that is a mis-
take. 1t embraces in its membership
bankers, preachers, merchants, and
people from all professions, as well as
the laboring class, who realize that
although they may be well fixed at the
time in worldly goods, that depres-
sion is liable to come at any time, and
if they secure themselves in this order
they know that their loved ones will
have at least $1,000 after they have
passed the bourne from which no trav-
eler returns.
There will be district deputy here
to organize Degree of Honor lodge on
next Friday night, May 5. This is a
ladies' auxiliary to the A. o. U. w.
The prospect is that it will enter the
field with over forty charter members.
The boys have procured a new side
saddle for their goat and will loan it to
the ladies for this occasion.

THE WEEK IN SOCIETY
W. r. G. SUPPER AND DANCE

The supper and dance given by the
Women's Relief Corps of Fairhaven on
Tuesday evening, in the pavilion, was
probably the most successful yet given
by the corps. There was large at
tendance, and dancing began at 8
o'clock and continued until the morn
ing. At IL o'clock a substantial sup
per was served in the gallery of the
pavilion, and dancing was again re-
sumed, Scott's orchestra furnishing the
music. The ladies of the Relief Corps
spared no pains to make the affair a
pleasant one, and in this they were
eminently successful. The ladies in
charge desire to return thanks for the
liberal patronage bestowed by the pub
lie. Part of the proceeds of the enter
tainment, amounting to $l5.S5, were
generously donated to the Children's
Home.
