Mrs. Heath, stenographer in the mayors

Mr.. Thees tells the usual hard luck story
from that region. 1t Is written from ku
Buck river. opposite the mouth Of Hunt
river. on Koizebue sound, January 70. He
had just received a letter from Mrs. Heath
Pos.-InteIligencer. and these he and his
companions were particularly glad to get.
as the news was the tirst ther had received
from the outside world for many months.
The chief facts given in the letter are as
follows:
Part OF the mall had Just arrived from
ST. Michael 1t had left that port on a

party Of men started out from Kotzebue

Thees could not give, had broken through
the ice and was drowned All that he
knew OF the man was that he had formerly
lived at Hongkorg and leaves 4 family in
london, England The total weight of the
mail was about $50 pounds. and the party
on reaching the schooner could take only
part OF ii.
At the time the letter was written there
were about 100 msn scattered along the Ku

pedes. but upon investigation II was found
either that some man had salted a claim
with view to selling IT, or that the rumor
was wholly unfounded. The main question
among the prospectors along ali three
streams was how TO get out and get back
home.

FINAL MEETING OF COMMITTEES.
All Ready for the Coming Holiday
Celebration.

All Ready Tor the LOnln8 nOAAuAy
Celebration.
The committee of the Fourth OF July cell
ebratien held what will probably be It's
last meeting TIL after the holidays last
night in the Roxweil building. Matters
have progressed 50 far and so well that
there was not much for the committee to
do further than 10 review the situation
and attend to q few final details.
Chairman Edaen, of the parade commit
tee. announced that he had been TO Port
Orchard and was told that ia men and
seven officers Of the battleship would be
detailed TO take part In the parade and
would be ready TO leave the ship at 1880 a.
m. on the Fourth. They will be assigned
positions accompanying the specially de-
signed patriotic floats. He said he was
formulating the parade and could say that
in number OF civic societies. floats anG 9TH
er features, the parade would be the best
ever seen here. Carriages were ordered for
the city officials and visiting dgnitaries
from other cities.
j. Redelsheimer reported that he was
proceeding smoothly with the decorations
and Examinations and that the display on
the Fourth would show for itself that
some good work had been done by his COM
mittee. He desired to explain that the rea-
son for putting the large arch at Columbia
street and First avenue was that that
point was the most central ana, besides,
was the point of entry into the business
section from most OF the railroad and
steamboat depots and wharves. and he
thought II best. after consultation. to give
visitors an impressive first view. The COM
mttee heartily agreed with him and ex-
pressed its approval Of what he had done.
In connection with the decorations II was
requested by the committee that persons
stringing lights or wires across the streets
be careful to have them at least fourteen
feet from the street, so as not to interfere
with the floats in the parade.
The various other committees made re-
ports in line With what they had stated be-
fore, and the general consensus Of opinion
was that the celebration on the approach
ing holiday would refiec. credit upon those
having it in charge, and be gratifying TO
the citizens of Seattle.
All that can be done In the way of pro-
viding attraction: has been done and dur
ing no part of the day will there be a min
ute when the crowd cannot finca something
provided for its amusement and entertain
ment. Boating. yachting, athletic games
ard sports Of all sorts. and during all
hours large and imposing parade, speech
es and music. brilliant decorations and IL
Limitations and final wind-up with
scintillating display OF pyrotechnics, ought
to satisfy the ordinary pleasure seeker.
and all these things the committee has pro-
yiced.

United States Postoffce Inspector e.
c. Clement received bids yesterday for
the postoffice site. opened them and last
night made his recommendations to the
department at Washington. He refused
to disclose anything as to his preference
OF location. He says 1t is matter TO be
given out by the general postoffice de-
partment. Three bids were received.
and while the inspector refused TO divulge
even the several locations. leaving aside
the question as to the one in his opinion
the most suitable. II Is known that all
three are north of Columbia street. the
present site of the postoffice. One is
this side of Madison. and 1t Is generally
known that Capt. Giimore's Arlington
block on the southwest corner OF First
avenue and University street is another.
CuriousIy enough report Is In circula-
ton that Clement favors the Arlington
building and IL Ia in this connection ru-
mored that his recommendations specify
the Arlington property as the most suit
able for the location of Seattle's post
office for at least the next five years. and
possibly ten.
Mr. Clement positively refused to state
when seen yesterday whether he had
reached a conclusion favoring the Gill
more property But whatever may be
his recommendation it will doubtless soon
be made public BIZ the postmaster general
The structure. whether now construct
ed or to be built. must be ready for oc-
eupancy by October Is. when the present
postoffice lease expires II must have
floor space of $500 square feet IL rented
for five years. and 10. 900 square feet II
ten-year lease IL taken by the govern
ment. Space Is what most concerns the
postmaster and operatives. The present
quarters have long been inadequate, and
so long as space. together with modern
conveniences. Is secured, the question of
location does not. IL is said, materially
concern the postoffice authorities. With
the public 1t is different. No matter
what site is chosen, ii is a safe prediction
that certain sections of the city will enter
a vigorous protest, and probably to no
avail.

Shfp Emma Luisa.
An ancient though thoroughly sea-
worthy craft In the ship Emma Luisa ar
rived yesterday at Port BiakeIey. She
came to Puget sound from Valparaiso
for lumber. The Emma Luisa's history
Is an interesting one. She was built In
Boston In 1851. and Is for her age and
class. mariners say. one Of the best yes
sells afioat. Live oak Is the material
used In her construction Before being
used FOR the purpose all the moisture was
withdrawn through the agency Of
ground burial. said to be sure pre-
ventive against early rot.
The Emma Luisa was christened the
North American. and as such she piled
as a passenger craft between Liverpool
and New York for ten or twelve years.
and often carried $50 first and 500 second
clam passengers. Finally the Germans
purchased her. and ran the Emma Luisa
as trader between their country and
the west coast OF South America. Lastly
she was transferred to the Chilean flag.
and for number of years carried coolies
between Hongkong and Peru. And for
the past twelve years she has been en-
gagged In the Puget sound lumber trade.
She Is an old three-dcck ship and has
cabins extended forward OF her main
mast. In all this time she has never
been renewed as to hull and framework.
and her pianking Is still intact and a
monument. az II were. to the skill Of the
middle Of the century shipbuilder.
Capt. Richard chilcott has a rosewood
chair taken from the Emma Luisa and
presented to him many years ago by the
officers of the ship. 1t Is fully fifty
years old. and stands erect In bold def
ance of its remarkable age.
