P. A. E. Railroad Talk,

Among the many rumors regarding the
Port Angeles Eastern road, the Port Town
send Leader has the following:
1.-The Pacific Coast company undoubt-
edly has good reasons for its sudden desire
tor franchise that would give its road a
monopoly of Water street and the whole
water front of this city. Just what these
reasons are few have attempted to guess,
but it may be that President Gushing of
the Port Angeles Eastern let the cat out
OF the bag while here when, in an un-
guarded moment, he let drop the remark
that the property of the Pacific Coast COM
pany in this county and Thurston county
had been offered to his company for sale.
when asked for further explanation
President Gushing said that his company
had under consideration from the owners
of the Port Townsend Southern PROPOSE
ton offering to sell all of its rolling stock,
track, right-of-way and real property listed
as the property of the Port Townsend
Southern between here and Olympia. He
said ne thought it quite probable that his
company would sooner or later absorb the
P. T. S., but declined to 20 further into
details. -

company, and Robert Mccormick have
purchased the steamship Oregon. The
vessel was owned by the Oregon Railroad
& Navigation company, but passed into
the hands of the Seattle men about week
ago for consideration said to be in the
neighborhood of SIS. 1000 She is now at
Quartermaster harbor. where she will be
locked and thoroughly overhauled and re-
paired as soon as it is ascertained Just
what is needful
The Oregon arrived at Quartermaster
harbor from Portland, where she has been
lying up for some time past, early Thurs
day morning She was towed around from
the Columbia by the tug Tyee. Negotia-
tions for her purchase were instituted by
Mr.. Simpson a day or SO after he learned
of the loss of the Laurada. 1t is said, how
ever, that she is not to be operated by the
Seattle Steamship company, which owned
the Laurada- So far as known Messrs
Simpson and Mccormick are the sole own
ers of the vessel, which they purchased for
the Cape Nome trade.
The general dimensions of the Oregon,
which was built in 1878, are: Capacity.

T he hnQI6 Lamp burns

about eighteen cents worth of
ordinary kerosene Cor coaD oil
a month; to be exact, one quart
in 16 hours. It burns it in
such a manner that. the COM
bustion IS almost perfect, and
for this reason the light is
magnifcent1y brilliant, smoke
less and odor1ess. The oil be-
ing fed with absolute regular
ity the fame is perfectly
steady and will assume full
size at once, overcoming the
drawing up defect of all
other lamps. The burning
time of the lamp may always
be depended upon. It uses an
inch and a half fiat wick and
the fame is about the size and
shape a. gas fame from a good
burner.
While the quality of the
light given by The Angle
Lamp is superior to that of
other lamps, the consumption
OF oil is 90 per cent less, max
ing a saving of 81 per month

principle is new; a separate

The lamps are made in all

Two Volunteers ~Watched. .

The reception of the two young vet
Grams of the Philippine war, who re-
turned to family and friends safe and
sound after the usual hardships of
campaigning in the tropics, by the
citizens of Mason County, which took
place at Kneeland's Hall last FRIDAY
evening, was success. The hall was
well-filled in spite of the heavy ram
during the afternoon and evening.
The program opened with a lively
piece by the baud, which was followed
with an address by w. H. Kneeland.
Representative Gunderson, Senator
McReavy, and others billed for patri-
otto speeches were unable to be pres
ent, and this omission was greatly re-
GREETED.
About an hour was consumed with
the remainder of the program, CONSIST
ing of instrumental music by Misses
Hattie Beaver, Tressa Huntley, and
the young ladies' orchestra; recitations
by Miss Sylvia King Miss Beaver and
songs by George Emmott and Miss
Lulu Dunbar, and tableau, "Co1um-
bia.'
Rev. Myron Eells then took the
rostrum, and gave short sketch of IN
cidents Of the campaign in the Philip
pines, and showed the piece of cart
ridge belt with several fattened bull
lets, that stopped the force of a Mauser
bullet, which otherwise would have
turned the speakers JOY atthe safe re-
turn of his boy, into mourning. He
then presented to Daniel A. Bannse
and Arthur II. Eells, each fine gold
watch, as slight reward for their SER
vices in behalf of their country's
honor. The watches were each en-
graved with the names OF the recip-
tents, and the words: Presented by
the citizens of Mason County to
LIST. Wash. Vols. for Meritorlous SER
vice, Philippine War, Shelton, Wash,
Nov. II, $780," The watches will be
priced highly by the boys, aside from
their intrinsic value. Both being a
little bashful, Rev. Eells conveyed
their thanks to the audience
Then the ladies came forward with
their part of the program, and furnish
ed splendid lunch of cake, coffee,
sandwiches, pickles and other good
things to eat. 1t was big crowd to
feed, but the con1missary was equal to
the occasion. Later in the evening
the floor was cleared and the young
folks engaged IN a social dance.
Mason County has a veteran of the
Cuban war, who served with honor,
| remained through the fighting after
his term had expired, and it is also re-
GREETED that John Sebenius, who lives
with his parents near Mason Lake,
