they had been brought up from Fox |
Island by the Marguerite the evening
before. As the scow was leaking an |
effort was made to beach her on the !
fill alongside OF the old deep-water |,
wharf. In moving it to that place on !
an cbb-tide, the scow lodged on the !
emhankment of the channel and ca
reencd over so much that every brick |
slipped off into the channel. The |
bricks belonged to Martin & Son, were
worth $40 per thousand, and cannot
! be recovered
In reply to letter by Mr.. Haight
to the Navy Department it is ascer-
tanned that the Olympia tablet must
be affixed to the cruiser after the arri
val in New York harbor. 1t was
asked, or rather suggested by Mr.. H.,
that the tablet be sent to the cruiser
while at sea, by one of the vessels 60
ing out for an escort, SO that it might
be in place on arrival in port, but the
Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, to
WHOM the matter was referred decides
that there would be no vessel available
for that service and directs that the
souvenir be sent to the navy yard at
New York, and that it be placed OH
board the Olympia by a hayward tug,
soon as she arrives in the harbor.
This will doubtless be the disposition
and ending OF the matter.
The Capital Brewing Co. has begun
the erection of building on piles
fronting the brewery at Tumwater, for
a bottling department. 1t will cover
40 by 12O feet area, and be supplied
with up-to-date machinery, as is used
in all the equipments of this tirst-class
plant. Farther in, on the site of the
old tannery, a new building will be
erected for the ice-making machinery,
30 by 80 feet in size, and when this is
done, the present old building will be
demolished, aflording needed room for
the expeditions management OF the
brewery. These extensions are imper-
: atively demanded by the rapidly in.
creasing business of the company. Its
product is making its way all over the
world and has already established q
reputation in the American "colon-
, les" and an order was received last
week from Yokohama, Japan.
Thomas Roberts was before the
Council again Monday night with his
usual plant of damage to his property
on Jefferson street from a defective
: sewer. This matter has doomed up
before the Council at intervals the
past ten years, but it seems that the
kick has lost none of its vigor from
age and is supported by determine
ton that might accomplish wonders if
directed in a wiser and better cause.
, "Tommy' does not seem to realize
that successive Councils have consid-
cred his grievance with the best of dis
position to extend aid, but that his
property when purchased by him was
SO situated that the matter OF drainage
was one of infinite difficulty. Monday
evening the Street committee asked
to be relieved from further considera-
ton of the matter, and it was made the
subject of report by a special commit
tee whose decision will probably be
final.
, Fred Walrath, of Westside, has been
/. placed in confinement owing to the
development of unmistaken evidences
OF Violent insanity. He had procured
r shotgun, razors and knives, and
seemed to be expecting an attack
from some hidden foe. 1t being the
, impression that the lives of his family
, and neighbors were menaced by the
mans condition, warrant for his ar
rest was placed in the hands of Sheriff
. Billings, who with Deputy Morrell,
, made the arrest Wednesday. The in.
, sane man was induced to come out OF
his entertainments by the call of de-
livery wagon with family supplies,
and while he was separated from his
i, arsenal, the officers bounced upon him
and made him prisoner. He had an
examination before Judge Linn, yes.
terday, and the evidences being con-
elusive that he was mentally unbal-
= anced a warrant of commitment was
issued.
Ithas been automatically announced,
time and again, that Mr.. Drew, agent
OF the Olympia hotel property, would
soon reopen that capacious hosiery,
and that it would be opened this time
10 remain in business permanently. 1t
seems, however, that he finds some
: difficulty in turning up a boniice of
the obliging and philanthropic dis
position and ample means to agree to
keep and maintain what has proven
to be an elephant" to all who have
attempted the task. There are two
sides to every question, and notwith-
standing improving conditions, Mr..
Drew may find more difficulty than
he anticipated in securing a lessee
: who knows how to run a hotel on
wind pudding. 1t is as difficult to
find an oppulent and complainant
landlord, already made to order, as it
would be to fit round man to a
square hole.
