Lake Cushman Closed

Lake Cushmau, Nov. 25.-The storm
of Friday last covered the ground here
with six inches of snow, followed by
another foot on Saturday, and Sunday
morning it lay to the depth of eighteen
inches. The lake was filled with s1ush
which froze, efectua1ly closing that
outlet. Today the snow is knee deep
and still falling. There is a channel
through the ice and the mail is ex-
pected in. The thermometer has stood
at from IS to 80 degrees, and there has
been no thawing weather, and the
water In the streams has fallen to its
usual level Many roots are still IN
the ground and many of the farmers
who have their potatoes dug have not
yet got them housed for the winter.
Work on the dam across one fork Of
Skokomish above the lake is pro-
crossing fast and will be finished to-
day, and the stream turned into its
new channel Such weather as this
has never been seen In this country

To THE PUBLIC-We the undersigued
candidates for municipal offices
desire to say that there is no issue in
the election, so far as we are concerned
A citizens meeting was called and
every body was privileged to attend;
no issue, saloon" or otherwise was
raised and as we believe, the ticket
was selected without reference to the
politics of the nominees. While
unpledged onany side of the question
we are in favor of all proper restrict
tons on the conduct of the local saloons
aud also of having a marshal who
will enforce the ordinances and main
tain law and order. We will, If elect
ed, do our best toward enforcing the
saloons to keep quite orderly places OF
business, or revoke the licenses Of any
who do not comply strictly with the
laws and the requirements OF their
bonds; requiring the saloon keepers to
keep order both within and near their
places.
We believe the present abuses can
be corrected and better order be main
tanned by an vigilaut and efficient
town marshal. supported by the council
Further, each of the undersigned
has heretofore served the town of
Shelton, and we are willing to be
Judged BY our records then made
