thousand dollars will be required to
open the mine and place it on self
supporting basis.
Miss Julia Lewis, OF Seattle, who
has for the past eight months been
the Little Rock school, com
plrtrd her term on the 9TH inst. 1t |
has been one OF the most successful |
terms ever taught ut that place. Miss
Lewis deserves the sympathy of her |
friends, she having been called to Sc
attic 10y the illness and death of her
father, Il wcll-kn"wn and highly cs-
tcemcd gentleman, who passed away |
at the ripe old age OF 50 years, Is |
mont hs and ~ days.
Frederick Tanck, at one time en-
gagged in the milk business in this city, |
now resident of Seattle, is in trouble |
for assault and threats to kill his wife
and children. 1t seems that when !
ever in liquor he developes this incli-
nation, and as he passes much OF his
time i'll dissipation, life and its ankle
ties have become a burden to the fam
lily, and Tanck was hauled up before
Justice Cam few days ago for as
sault upon his wife. Adequate pun
ishment is suspended under condition
OF future good behavior.
A letter from Robert Rawson, n for
mer resident of this place, like cry
from the wilderness proclaims the
faith that is still in him notwithstand-
ing his devious wanderings. He left
this place about four years ago, for
California, where he remained some
time and then went East and now
turns up in Kansas, thoroughly dis
gusted with his experience in the land
of cyclones and extremes Of hot and
cold, as we'll as his residence in
State where the drought is n regular
visitant at least one season out of
three. He proposes to return to
Olympia.
NJ. O'Connor is chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce anniversary
committee and +. c. Owings its Secre-
tary. They have already got down to
business and are outlining the pro-
gramme for a three days celebration
which will undoubtedly eclipse all
former efforts. Congressman Jones
will be invited to deliver the Grafton.

Ross, NJ. Harris, c. S. Wilcox and
II, nnhnrfy annntntnI ~
solicit and collect subscriptions. The
first thing in order, on such occasions,
is of course to pass the hat and secure
the means to pay the fiddlers." In
this instance, however, the benefit to
be derived, aside from having good
time, will return the outlay hundred
fold.
The early-closing agreement, in
of honor, in which all rigidly live up
to the contract. One instance is re-
ported of violation of the compact
made between our merchants, al
though the agreement is hardly a fort
night old. Two ladies applied to n
leading merchant for sale of goods
after hours, few evenings ago, and
were refused. who were admitted at the
back door of a rival house, few mo-
ments afterwards, to make their pur-
chases, which fact they were not slow
to vauntingly report to the conscien-
tious dealer. The repetition of this
conduct will suffice to annul the
agreement and throw wide the doors
of all competitors during daylight
hours.
The S. Wiley Steamship & Naviga-
ton Co. have sold the Multnomah and
City of Aberdeen to Lester Turner,

Simpsons Laurada on the Alaska run.
J. c. Percival will be business mana
ger, vice Capt. LATE Wiley.
The Supreme Court has reversed the
decision of the Superior court regard
ing the re.assessment OF property for
street Improvements. The matter
came up in the case of A. A. Phillips,
appellant, against the City of Olym-
pia, who represents large block Of
defunct warrants, that await for re-
deemer that is slow in coming. These
warrants were not paid solely because
there was no money in the respective
funds on which they were drawn for
payment. Application was made for
a writ of mandate for compelling the
city to reassess property and place
money in the respective funds. The
city held that unless some error could
be discovered in the assessment al
ready made and on which time of col.
lection had lapsed under the statute
of Limitations, it was unable to afford
relief to the holders of warrants. The
judgment of the Superior court is by
the late action reversed and the cause
remanded with instructions to issue a
writ commanding the city to reassess,
according to law, all the property
mentioned on the streets of appellants
affidavit.
