Another large new industry, namely,
the tin plate factory, proposed by l..
X. Torbet OF Chicago, is now insured
this city IL the citizens themselves
show their interest by subscribing to
the capital stock of the company to he
organized
The manufacturers committee of the
board Of trade, after making a search
ing investigation and securing estt-
mates and figures on tho cost OF the
steel used as the foundation of the tin
plate, have decided that the outlook Is
favorable for the establishment of the
industry in this city. and that It can
be worked at a profit 20 those who in
vest in tho stock.
They I'll accordingly present a set
Of r. llutions to the beard ut its reg

dorsing the industry and recommend
ing 1t to the favorable consideration of
the public. These resolutions will un-
doubtedly be adopted by the board
which will thereby give its approval

TOlRET INFORMED.

Mr.. Torbet has been wired OF this
fact and has been requested to be in
attendance at the meeting to give any
information which may be desired He
will Immediately enter actively irto
the work of organizing the company
and securing the capital necessary for
the establishment Of the plant.
1t is proposed to fix the capital stock
Of the company at 5000 OOO of which
sum Mr.. Torbet himself will subscribe
S25OOO. Mr. Patton, the manager, will
probably subscribe about $4,000, leav.
ing $4,000 to be raised by popular sub
scription.
While no definite plan has as yet
been fixed upon, 1t is very likely that
subscriptions from one share up will
be accepted. allowing the rank and file
of the community al large to invest in
the company instead cf having tho
stock held by a few. IF this plan fails
and not enough money can be raised
in this manner, there is hardly any
doubt but that more than sufficient
capital can be raised in large amounts
from among the rich and influential
citizens of the city.

company and the other from John r.

ing 5 or more degrees above normal.
The nights have been cool, and some
mornings foggy in the Sound country,
The growing season is practically

out exceedingly well in Skagit county.
In the southwest counties they got
wet in harvest time and were consid-
erably discolored. Wheat is yielding
somewhat better than was expected q
month ago. but, as o rule, the yield is
not up to average, and is in some cases
shrunken, and in others blaached.
Early fall sown wheat is now coming
up. The weather has been very favor
able for fall blowing. 1t has been
ideal for hop picking, which is pro-
crossing satisfactorily, with a pros
pective yield at least as good as aver
age. With continued favorable wea.

THE GRAND WELCOME.
The Preliminaries Have Been Arranged fol

The Preliminaries Have Been Arranged for
Long Train Of Visitors From This City.
Geo. f. Fillcy's visit to Portland, to
consult Mr.. Charlton of the N. p. rail-
way, has resulted in obtaining a very
satisfactory rates for the proposed ex-
cursion to Seattle of the people of
Thurston county, to welcome our SOL
dlers on their return from the Philip
pines. The date of the reception, of
course. depends upon the time the
transport will arrive in the Sound,
which will probably be between the
18th and 25th of next month. The
arrangements made provide for a spe-
cial train to leave this place, probably
about 6 o'clock in the morning of the
day the reception takes place, and
leave Seattle on the return trip at 10
p. NJ, thus breaking in upon but a
single day, while affording visiters full
time to participate in the grand well
come of the people of the whole State.
Mr.. Filley was obliged, in order to
obtain rate which will enable every.
body to attend this grand demonstra-
ton, to guaranty the sale of $50 tick
cts at one dollar each, but it is expect
ed that the party will number nearer
1000, than the former figures. Details
will be announced soon as the time is
definitely fixed for the excursion, hut
the plan has been sufficiently outlined
to announce that a building for
"Olympia Headquarters" will be Sc
cured and fitted up for the comfort of
our people while they are in the Queen
City. AS it is expected that local re-
sources will be taxed to their utmost
to provide for the many thousands of
guests from all parts OF the State, it
is advised that all who can do so
should provide lunch baskets and go
prepared to find themselves" in the
multitude that will be sure to respond
to this patriotic call.
Tickets will soon be placed on sale
at 81 for the round trip, and Mr..
Charlton wants to know at least
week before the excursion takes place
the probable number that his company
will be called upon to provide for, as
all the resources of transportation will
be taxed to the utmost on that occa-
sion

The Olympia Hotel did not open
TIL Wednesday OF this week, owing to
the many preparations that necessar-
lly preccdc n restoration of business
hv an institution like that of the lead

last thing, and most important of all,
was to secure ii competent chez he cui-
sine, the individual who finds the
heart OF patrons by way OF the stom-
ach, and this, as all other preparations,
it is believed, has been well done. Mr..
Tunin expects to provide Il service
which will rank second to none in the

A novel social event took place at

Tom Gee, the millionaire FISHERMAN,

600 years Gee laid off his oyster

event, aflording likewise rest to the
festive bivalve which is hunted from
his lair with remorseless precision I'M

and that Messrs. Scoiield K Savage,
the contractors, have received orders
to go on with the work of construc-
ton of the switch and extension. Two
members of the City Council deny this
and say that the present is a favorable
opportunity for ascertaining just how
far individual interests control a work
largely constructed by voluntary do
nations from the people and appropri-
ations by city and county.

end of the month. Late potatoes will
be good crop, except for blight in
some localities.
Altogether, the crop season OF 1883
has been more successful than the
very adverse conditions during the
winter and spring, and also during
August at the height OF the harvest
season, threatened to make it. There
has been one exception; that of fruit,
which has been short crop in all but
a few localities. The hay crop was
one of the best ever secured in the
State, the hop crop a fair average, the
oat crop slightly above the average,
and the wheat crop somewhat below
the average. except that larger
amount of wheat having been sown,
the total production may not fall far
short of that of preceding good years.

years. illustrates the untimely visits of
the sable messenger Of Death. The
victim, in this instance, was born in
this Cit. He was reared to outdoor
avocations which develop hrawn and
usually result in robust health and
longevity. His habits and conduct
were such as to add to the promise of
such conditions, but alas! he was
called hence, while the weak, the in
firm and aged are left to struggle on
in the conflict of life. This is one of
the anomalies of human existence
that is hard to reconcile with mortal
ideas Of the fitness OF things. De.

considered, appeals came in from time
TO time which showed the growing
necessities for a home for the homeless
children OF the foreign population.
After consideration of these appeals it
was finally decided that when the time
came to give up the family residence
it should be devoted for a home for
those children made eligible for it.
The residence is a large and COM
mJdiOus one and is particularly adapt
ed for such a purpose. The main
house contains nine sleeping rooms on
the second and third floors and several
.commCdious living rooms on the first
floor These latter can easily be adapt
ed for bedrooms, if required. Mrs.
Castle proposes to turn over the house,
rent free TO the Children's Aid Asso-
citation. or some other organization that
will carry on the work, if the former
association is not prepared to- do So.
The eastern One-stOry wing of the
building Mrs Castle reserves for her
own uses. After the family moved to
Manoa valley in last March the build
ing was put in thorough repair, new
kitchen, lavatories and laundry being
added, and every comfort and con-
venience considered in making the
premises ready for its new use. Mrs.
Castle hopes that every thing will be
finished and the home ready for Occu-
patton by the first of the coming year.
1t has been the desire of Mrs. Castle
and the family that some fitting memo
rial should be established for the
youngest son, the late Mr.. Henry Cas-
| tie, and his little daughter Dorothy,
who were lost on the steamship Elbe
early in 1895. Nothing seemed so APP
