SEATTLE has just passed an ordinance
prohibiting exporating in public places
and on the sidewalks, like ordinance
already being in effect in various other
cities in the state. An ordinance OF this
nature would be blessing in Pullman.
The man who sits along some store front,
and squlrts great streams OF Shiny to-

interfering with other peoples rights,
and making himself a public nuisance,

The Q. O. c. Club that left for Ocean
Point. Monday, had quite a time in
leaving and got generally ratified.
They had intended to go by the way
of the steamer, and went early to the
wharf, but found the Islander would
not run and some one informed them
that there would be no boat. They
then, went to the railroad station and
purchased tickets for Bath having
their baggage checked for that place.
After this had been done some of their
number visited the wharf and found
the Gardiner ready to start. They
hurried back to the station and told the
rest. who were in doubt about going on
the train until they realized they had
the tickets and their baggage checked.
so they sadly accepted the inevitable.
and decided to remain by the steam
ears. Then arose the question as to
what train should be taken, as they
would arrive in Ocean Point as soon if
the 1140 express was taken. The 9.13
train was decided upon, and it is sup
posed they reached their destination in
due time.
