4 CREAMERY AT LAST
THURSTON COUNTY TO HAVE
THAT DESIRED INSTITUTION.
George Cha bers Will Establish the
Enterprise at Ielm-The MIX of
Eighty Cows to BE Used ut First.

Eighty Cows 10 he Used ut First.
Thurston county is at last to have a
creamery. After the many futile ef-
forts that have been made in the past
to establish this much needed enter
prise, it is pleasure to be able to an
nouncc definitely that a fully equipped
creamery will soon be an established
fact. The promoter is the well known
citizen of Yelm, George Chambers.
Mr.. Chambers has about completed all
the arrangements and will immedi-
ately commence the erection of the
buildings and apparatus necessary for
the purpose in view. The institution
will he located at Ielm, where Mr.
Chambers has been a prosperous former
for many years. The milk OF so cows
will be used to commence with, but
this number will be increased as soon
as the creamery is under way.
Mr.. Chambers has been investigating
the matter for some time, and has
come to the conclusion that a we'll.
conducted and scientifically arranged
creamery is a money, making invest
ment. He is to be commended for his
enterprise and pluck, and the best
wishes of the community will I'M
doubtedly attend him.
OF the profit in butter and cheese
making there can be no doubt, as it is
too often demonstrated. The estab.
lishment OF the Vancouver creamery
was made at an outlay Of but $50 600
and yet it is the second largest in the
United States. The Investment of the
money which will be put into the Yelm
creamery will be of great benefit to
the community at large and will draw
general attention to this locality
From present indications a creamery
in Thurston county will be in iull op-
Grafton in few weeks.

rise.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1894-02-23

About 7 80 o'clock last night Olym-
pia was treated to a most beautiful
exhibition OF aurora borealis, or north
ern lights, which lasted in various
stages of brightness for % minutes be-
fore it finally faded away. About 7
o'clock a dark bank OF mist was
noticed in the northern horizon, rising
to point far above the top of the
Cascades. Soon after a bright red
haze appeared, surmounting the dark
bank Immediately below it. Gradually
the reddish hue assumed q deeper
color until it reached a blood red.
Then the aurora in all its magnificent
beauty burst forth in panoramic
beauty. People all over the city were
out on the sidewalks, gazing with adj
miration at the lightning-like changes
and the varying locations OF the mer-
ry dancers, as they shot their dazzling
shafts into the zenith. The scarlet
tinge which overspread the sky i'm
parted reddish hue to the snow on
the mountain tops. Then the bank
Immediately below the varying lights
assumed darker shade, until the
waters OF the Sound could not be dis.
covered at 100 yards distance. This
had the effect of greatly increasing the
beauty of the view, owing to the
radical contrast in colors. After q
minutes of the grand and inspiring
scene, the stars broke clearly through
the haze and the heavens assumed
their wonted appearance.
AS fitting finale to the visit OF the
aurora, the sunrise this morning wa:
one Of gorgeousness never to be for
gotten by those who witnessed it. II
would be futile to attempt to describe
it, as no pen picture could do justice
to the scene.

! HOME FOR HOBOS.
OLYMPlA'S PEST HOUSE OCCU-
PIED BY TRAMPS.
The Beds >rd Nightly and Meals
Cooked on the City.s stoves Not
Uncomfortable Wartcrs.

Wien the health authorities ceased
using the pest house last summer the
float was moved to the end al the
Long Wharf, where it has LAID ever
since. The bedding and cooking
utensils were left in the house just as
they were when in use, except that
the float was fumigated after the
last smallpox patient had been dis
charged. 1t was not supposed for a
moment that anyone would have the
tcmerity to occupy these pestilential
quarters, but such, however, has been
the case.
During the first few weeks smoke
has been noticed on several occasions
issuing from the chimney. EXamina-
ton disclosed the fact that the genus
hobo, without the fear OF small
pox in his soul, had taken up
quarters in the hospital and had pro-
cceded to make himself at home
Both stoves, one in the kitchen and
one in the bedroom, had been used
the beds had been occupied and the
remains OF feed OF oysters and clans
were found on the table in the I'M
washed dishes. Barring the frightiul
associations, the building is comfort
ably fitted up and affords Il splendid
shelter on these cold nights. But
when it is remembered what the result
might be, it is not pleasant con-
temptation. No doubt steps will be
taken to have the float removed from
too close proximity to the wharf and
at least make it more OF job for the
festive tramp to gain entrance here
after.
This exhibition of pure and I'M
adulterated nerve on the part OF the
hobo was nearly equaled by the rob-
berry OF the Seattle pest house one
night last week, when the burglars
carried off numerous articles of wear
ing apparel from the building.
