Olympia suffered a severe blow IN
the destruction of the old Allen saw
mill last Monday night by fire. The
plant was a total loss, except that
some of the machinery can be repair
ed and there was no insurance. The
mill was the oldest industrial plant in
the Capital city, one Of the few en-
ployments offered to labor there, and
business men are talking of putting
their shoulders to the wheel to aid Geo.
S. Allen in rebuilding the plant.

While Shelton is pleasantly stu
ated, and while the townsite IS
level, 1t is fairly we'll graded for atur-
al drainage, and thus quite healthful,
it is necessary that accommodations of
trash and disease-breeding rubbish
should be cleaned up before the hot
days come. The sunshiny days of the
past week make us think of cleaning
no and gardening.

| Judging from the numerous inquiries
for locations, business, property, ETC.,
there is certain to be a large influx OF
Eastern people to this section this sea
son,-not K1ondikers, but people who
are looking for homes, and wish to be-
come permanent and useful citizens OF
Washington. Most of these applicants
| for information, don't even mention
| ALASKA.
