Miss Josephine Prince met with
collision Tuesday evening while
rounding the corner at Fourth and
Main streets, on her bicycle. Just at
that moment quincy came dashing
down the street and the result was
meeting which, fortunately, dam
aged only the bicycle. 1t was close
call, however, from personal injury.
1t seems as if almost everybody has
been on wheels since the good weather
began. The long hours between sum
down and twilight constitute the favor
lite season for this exhilerating exer-
else, and "droves" of men, women,
girls and boys are encountered on our
bread thoroughfares speeding on with
the silent grace of the swallow when
poised in flight.
The following additional appoint
ments were made of penitentiary em-

Gerzentainer, of Pasco.
The Christian church people have
in contemplation either the erection
of new edifice upon their Main
street lot or the removal to that site
the building now occupied by them
on Adams street. 1t will be remem-
bered that this society purchased the
lot vacated by the removal of the new
Baptist church which was converted
into the G. A. R. Hall.
Mrs. L. NJ. Clark, one of the pioneer
women of Olympia, starts next Mon
day to visit her native city, Waukegan,
Ill. She reaches her journeys end in
exactly five days from the time OF
starting, over nearly the same route
which she traversed in 1852, in an
emigrant wagon, drawn by oxen, a
journey which then consumed seven
months of constant toll. Do we wake,
or are we dreaming?
C. s. Reinhart, Clerk of the Supreme
Court, has prepared the bar docket for

Der. and they will be heard from Mon

r. s. Weston, J. M. Lammon, E. w.
McMillen and F. G.. Wilson have re-
turned from a prospecting expedition
in the Cascades, bringing excellent
samples of copper ore from q lode dis
covered near Etonville, in Pierce
county. They report having exper-
fenced delightful season of recrea-
ton as we'll as secured what may
prove profitable holding when de-
veloped. They say they met many
parties amid the rugged crags in
tent upon the same object as them
selves. The mountain streams abound
with fish and wild game is plentiful.
They were gone just a week.
The city of Kamilchie will soon be
a thing of the past. Sol Simpson, the
leading spirit of the town, has moved
his camp to the cold rollway," several
miles from that site. Half dozen of
the buildings have been moved to Port
Blakely on scows, and like number
of the smaller buildings moved to the
new site on fiat cars. The warehouse
on the trestle has been taken down
and will be removed in sections. The
track on the trestle has been taken up.
The main output of logs from the new
camp will be through Shelton, but as
boats of light draught may reach the
new camp, doubtless much of the
product will be RATED at that point.
This change is made to avoid the
maintenance of long trestle to get to
Underwater and of several bridges in the
approach 10 the old town.
