PORT TOWNSEND (Wash.). Oct. 90
For the first time in something over
thirty years the Olympic Range OF
mountains has broken forth, and in one
section is belching out fire and lava in
large quantities. The eruption Is in
what Is known as the second chain,"
and is estimated to be thirty miles back
of the city of Port Angeles, situated on
the Straits of Juan dc Fuca.
That a violent eruption is in progress
is evidenced by the fact that during the
day column of dense smoke rises high
in the air. while at night the spectacle IS
inspiring, the column changing from a
dull black to a lurid red, having the tint
of molten iron.
Thus far the closest Investigators Of the
phenomena have been B. 5. PettygrOve
and Harry Chappell OF this city. two
well-known riders and mountaineers,
who first discovered the fiery mountain
while out in search of derellct cattle. The
eruption began during the night while
the two were asleep Oh mountain three
miles distant, and is described as sight
truly inspiring, accompanied BE- heat
which was so intense at that distance as
to SINCE all growth, and force the two to
seek shelter several miles beyond, at
which point they stopped to contemplate
the scene of grandeur, returning TO Town
next day to report.

Singular Species of Fish.

More than one species of fish ia met
with which cannot swim, the most singu-
lar of which, perhaps, ia the maltha, q
Brazilian fish, whose organs Of locomo-
ton only enable it TO crawl, or walk, or
hop, after the manner of toad, to which
animal this fish to some extent bears q
resent lance, and it Ia provided with a
long upturned snOut. The anterior pee
toral fms OF the maltha, which are quite
small, are not capable of acting on the
water. but can only move back ward and
forward, having truly the form of thin
paws. Both these and the ventral and
anal fms are very different from the SINH
lar fins in other fishes and could not serve
for swimming at all. Other examples of
non-swimmina fishes include the sea-
horse, another most peculiarly shaped
inhabitant of the sea. which resem bles
the knight in q set of chessmen, and the
star-fish, of which there are many speci-
mems, which mostly walk and crawl on
the shore or rocks, both being unable to
swim.

ls there any good reason why j. w.
Wilson, as citizen, is not entitled to the
support OF ali good citizens for Mayor?
Put the question Oh non-partisan
grounds. Is he not worthy OF the conf
dence and respect OF all our people? He
has lived in our midst for forty years;
reared family here. ALI he has is in
vested here. de is and has been one of
the most public-spirited men of this city.
he has always been honorable with his
iellowman. Honesty and integrity are
his acknowledged attributes He is
worthy and qualified. Then why, in q
business point of view and aside from all
partisan considerations, is he not en-
| Titled to the support of the people?
But this is Republican city-the Re-
publican majority is very large upon a
partisan contest.
j. w. Wilson has been nominated by q
Republican convention composed Of rep
resentative citizens and taxpayers. He
IL the choice of such a convention in
fair and open contest. AS the fair nolni-
nee OF the dominant party he Is entitled
TO the full support of that party. He has
grown gray in the services of the Re-
publican party upon the broad principles
OF that party. He has always been con-
slstent In the advocacy OF its doctrines.
Being good and worthy citizen, fair,
high minded, honorable, honest, and
above any little or petty considerations,
he is certainly deserving Of the undivided
support of the members Of that party.
No fault can be found with him as citi-
zen; nothing detracts from his merits as a
man; nothing inconsistent in the advO-
caoy OF his partisan principles. Then
there can be NJ reason why he should not
have the full vote OF his party. We feel
con tdent that the people of this city will
show their gratitude for a fair, honest
and deserving man, and elect J. w.
Wilson Mayor. A workingman himself,
be is in line with the laboring classes,
which is shown by his efforts for public
improvements at all turns.

Los ANGELES, Oos 20.-Ths article
appearing in the morning papers saying
that charges had been preferred to Gov
ernor Budd against the Directors of the
Sixth District Agricultural Association,
under whose auspices the fair will be
held next week, from the fact that the
Governor refused to divulge the nature OF
the charges and proposed coming TO Los
Angeles to make personal lnyes-
tigation, several OF the directors were
seen to-day, and although they were
in possession of the document reclting
the charges made against them, or knew
the nature of them, they refused posi-
lively to say anything for publication.
Who has brought the charges is q matter
of conjecture, but gentleman in posis
ton to know most OF the facts said to-
might:
Heretofore the Legislature has made
an appropriation OF 5000 6 year toward
the expenses of the district fairs, and the
fairs have been held under state juris-
diction. This year Governor Budd
vetoed the bill passed for the fairs, with
the exception of the amount set aside for
the State Fair at Sacramento, on the
ground of economy. The directors of

years holding over. The directors are
