Capt. Frank Smith, the well-known
captain of the old Politkofsky, which
has been towing logs from Mason
County to the Port Blakely mill for
many years, died at Seattle last week
of creeping paralysis. When his old
boat was taken out of commission he
was given in charge of the Favorite.
He has been in the employ of the
Blake1y company since 1870 and was a
general favorite at the mill town
Capt. Smith was a member of Renton
Lodge of Masons and New Kami1che
lodge of Odd Fellows. He was ma
tive of Russia and originally bore an
unprOnounceable name, which the mill
company changed to the commonplace
name by which he was known ever
after. Capt. Smith knew the Intricate
meanderings of the Sounds channels
by heart, and was a valuable man in
the handling of logs.

the floor of the Latham house during
part OF last week. He lost nothing
except three CALVES which left the barn
and were f1oated down stream. His
family had been removed to I. w.

came.

ton, but no vehicle has yet been de-
signed to burn heavy oils without pro-

called upon to invest about $500 In
one of those carriages will. 10
