Five hundred people OF Seattle have
promised, next Sunday, to be guests Of
our people while a mammoth clam
bake is served on the Capitol grounds.
The Geo. f. Starr and other steamers
have been chartered for the excursion,
and it is said that the clam.bake is the
free-will offering of Mr.. Lincoln, OF
Seattle, to his numerous friends.
Pedestrians who trace the road be-
tween Olympia and Buffers cove re-
port the grouse and pheasant SO
plentiful and tame that scores OF them,
young and old, are encountered almost
at every turn of the trail, but the
popping of shotgunS on all sides makes
rather hazardous pastimc to
stop and contemplate the otherwise
pleasant surroundings.
The Capital City Creamery, cstab-
lished by II. W. Maynard, will open
for business corner of Third and
Washington, Monday. 1t is an ex-
cellent plant. comprising late ma
chinery with capacity OF 5000
pounds of milk or about $50 pounds
of butter per day. Now the question
is one of milk. Mr.. Maynard has done
his part let our farmers do theirs.
An old-fashioned thunderstorm pre-
vailed for couple of hours, Saturday
night. The electric fluid damaged the
motor Of the street car, which was
waiting for passengers at the conclu-
sion of the performance, in front of
the theater. The injury was not so
great, however, but that the electro
clan of the company, Harry Rant,
succeeded in placing it in running Or
der the next day.
A visit to the Eastside and Westside
saw mills and single factories and
then a hour in looking through the
Capital Brewing and Electric plant at
Tumwater will convince the most
jealous downSounder that Olympia is
not the sleepy town that casual visitors
have so often reported her to be. Any
body can profitably and pleasantly put
in half day in visiting these in
dustrial centers.
The dance floor erected Mt Buffers
cove a few years ago, is credited with
some redeeming features this year.
Last Sunday, religious services were
held within its shaded enclosure by
the pastor of the Episcopal church.
Fixed benches extend on three sides of
the area and these supplemented by a
few chairs loaned by neighboring
campers afforded all the comforts of a
church edifice to those who made up
the little gathering.
Henry A. Mcbride, a member of the
crew of the Alaskan steamer City Of
Olympia, built here for voyage ex-
ploration, north writes to his brother
in-law, Geo. W. Hopp, of this city,
from Mary Island, GO miles south of
Skagway, where they tarried few
hours before proceeding on their way
to that city. The trip north was made
without special incident. Brewer,
Brucker and Wheeler were sick all the
way, but did not seriously cripple the
ships effective crew. Mr.. Mcbride re-
ports great excitement over a late
strike on the Pine River, a stream
which enters Atlin Lake about 100
miles from Skagway, via Bennett. Iii
reported to he better than Dawson, as
seen thorough the lenses which blend
enchantment," but everybody is going,
all the same, according to Mr.. McB's
report.
The voting now going on for queen
of the Rhododendron festival, to be
held in this city few weeks hence,
goes merrily on, and a competition
between the friends of several maidens
fair for the honor to fall to their favor
ties is becoming apparent. The count
from the ballot-boxes at the several
drug stores and O'Connor's bookstore
is made each Saturday night, and quite
a sum of money is rolling steadily in
from that source for the cruiser Olym-
pia souvenir fund. The plan is for each
city in the State to send q maid of
honor to support the queen in her
brief but regal display, which will
certainly extend over three days and
possibly week. The court will hold
receptions daily, during which time
the whole community and throngs of
visitors from abroad will bow at her
