HARTSTEIN Dec. 10. 1895.
J. w. Lott was in Olympia this week
on business.
J w. Downs is boating his crop of
hay to market at Arcadia.
The ranchers here are cutting and
putting up a good supply of wood pre-
pairing for the busy time in the spring
getting in their crops.
Some of the young men here are
talking of going to Alaska in the spring
to hunt little standard of gold stick
ing ont of the ground with the stars
and stripes at half mast, ensign down,
tied to it with that boundary line.
We cannot help but thank the bust
ness men in Olympia for providing us
free ride on the steamer Seaside, to
their city to stay two or three days and
nights before the boat returns us to
our homes again and will say that it is
no farther from here TO Olympia and
back again than it was with our little
row boats before they issued those
worthless city warrants to us tovtrade
out with them at big discount or not
at all If the city of Shelton, our own
county seat, would build a city float
with shelter for us to land and give us
something besides a chew of tobacco
for a lunch and treat us as well as they
have heretofore, we will consider our
selves well off under this Democratic
administration, and will put up with
peace and poverty in the future rather
than deny ourselves the rights of
chance to keep our business interests
up at home and in our own county.
Charity begins at home and ends in a
combination to rob the people.

BY a change in the law regarding
time of fling list of property with road
supervisors, by those who desire to
work out their road tax, the time for
the fling of such lists is changed from
the 18th day of March to the 1st day of
January, and those not filing said lists,
and notifying the supervisors by the
1st day of January, will be compelled
to pay their road tax in money. This
law was changed by the last 1egisla-
ture, and very few of our readers are
familiar with it. Remember, if you
wish to work ont your road tax for
1896, you must file your list of property
with your district supervisor by JAN
uary 1st next.

The Moore, Early and Concord
grapes placed on the market during
last month by Adam Eckert from his
vineyard at Detroit, Mason county,
Wash, were of excellent quality. In
texture the fruit was little more tart
than like varieties raised in warmer
sections. The crop, consisting of sew
era1 tons, was mostly handled by the
Ed. Adams Sons Commission firm,
Tacoma, and sold well. Mr.. Eckert
says that while these grapes can be
grown in Western Washington, It re-
quires special care to produce success
fully marketable crops.-N. W. Horti-
