Frank Sharp, an agent of the pen
sion bureau, was in this city yesterday,
looking after the business of that
great division of governmental bust
ness. 1t is hoped that he will keep a
sharp eye out for the frauds which
honey-comb that service.
Mr.. L. R. Byran and wife, both old
time graduates of the Olympia
Collegiate Institute have removed
from their Snohomish county resi-.
dence and will hereafter make their

by our city Council, similar in its pro-
visions to those now in force in several
Pacific coast cities. They have on
their side all the elements in the case

Miss Anna Mitchell, of Westside,
gave delightful reception in honor OF
a guest, Miss Vinnedge, of Seattle, to a
number OF her companions, at her
parents residence, Monday evening.
Cards and refreshments added to the
zest of social enjoyment and a very
pleasant evening was passed by ali

The destruction of the street car
stables has provoked discussion as
to whether incandescent lights can
generate heat enough to cause a
fire to break out in their immedi-
ate vicinity. Experinced electricians
unite in saying that such thing is
possible if the heated globes are in con-
tact with combustible material.
Some fiat cars that were scattered
about the city and thus saved from
the fire have been utilized in hauling
beer from the brewery at Tumwater.
AS they have no motors, they are
hauled by horsepower, and it takes
somewhat longer to deliver a large
order, but they are infinitely better
than wagons or trucks for handling
the extensive business of this famous
product.
The government has impressed the
steamships of the Northern Pacific
Railways China line to carry troops
to the Philippine Islands. The Ari'
IONA was loading -four at Tacoma and
the Columbia taking in railroad ties
at Ballard, when the order was made
and force of men was set to work al
once to unload. The other three yes.
sells are at sea and will not be avail
able until they arrive in port.
An arrangement has been made
whereby the Olympia literature
provided by the Chamber of Com.
merce will be distributed at the
Omaha Exposition. The best guaranty
that we have OF the faithful discharge
of this obligation, if entered into, is
that the distribution will be in charge
of Miss Fay Fuller. Whatever she
undertaken to do we feel very sure
will be done faithfully and we'll.
A veritable "tempest in teapot
has resulted from the failure of 8
committee of the City Council to re-
port back an ordinance extending the
time of the Jefferson street railroad
franchise. Whatever mey have been
the incentive for delay, we do not be-
lieve that any member of the Council
really desires to impede completion Of
the track. Oly's thirteen-inch gun
