The report has gained very general
circulation that the Olympia Sash and
Door factory is to be removed to Seat
tie or Ballard. This is true in part
and part untrue. The new Allen &
White mill is being fitted up within
the new building on the water front
with double its former capacity, and it
will be supplied with all the ma
chinery necessary for manufacture OF
sash, door and house furnishings. This
is part of the old firm and will be able
to supply as prompt and efficient a
service as has ever been given by the
full plant.
The Olympia Whist team won the
cup at the Fourth annual convention
of the North Pacific Whist League,
held at Tacoma last Saturday. The
championship had been held by the
Deschapelles Club of Tacoma, and that
team was a contestant in the late
games. Seattle, Portland, Tacoma and
Olympia were in the game, and the
final contest took place between the
two latter teams, resulting in a victory
of the capital boys by IA points. The
names of the Olympia team are Judge
Aver, o. V. Linn, II. Cowles and E. q.
Kreider. The cup is on exhibition at
Mills & Cowles' hardware store.
Miss Alice Strohm, of Dayton. was
seriously injured in a railway collision
on the Oregon Short Line, i'll Southern
Idaho, Saturday, while returning from
Denver. Miss S. is we'll known to
many Of our people, from her connec-
ton in newspaper and clerical work i'll
the Legislature several sessions. She
was here at the adjourn of the late
session, and had made a flying visit to
Colorado before entering service in
State Superintendent Browns office.
Miss S. seems to be victim of such
accidents. She was severely injured at
the depot in this city several years
ago, by being run over by baggage
car, for which she received 81 600 dam
ages from the railroad company.
Mr.. Phipps is again in the grocery
business, having bought the stock of
Mrs. A. Stevens, and resumed bust
ness at the stand he made so popular
a few years ago. There is no business
house in the city that has been under
better management for a long success
sion of years than that which just re-
verified to Mr.. Phipps. Every old resi-
dent remembers that the name of J. N.
Squires was the synonym for fair
dealing, honest weight and good quail
ity, and during the many years he
conducted the business, and during
its mutations and changes it has
never passed under the control of a
single tradesman who did not main
tain its reputation in all these quail
fications for confidence and respect.
During a large proportion of this
time Mr.. Steelman has been salesman
under several of its proprietors, and a
large degree of the success may
therefore be attributed to his labor.
We cordially welcome Mr.. Phipps back
to the active business life of our little
city.
