Congressman Jones writes the local
Chamber of Commerce that there is Il
bare chance of the Gray's Harbor Ca
nal resolution, providing for survey,
which passed the Senate some time

ton has been quietly laid on the
shelf.
John Gimblct, proprietor of the
Carlton, returned from three months
sojourn in San Francisco to receive
medical AMI surgical aid from special
lists for the alliction which has

it is doubtless owing to the splendid
course OF treatment that he returns to
the scene of many years of labor.
While he is by no means we'll, hopes
are entertained for his ultimate re-
covery.
"knohs o Tennessee" was one of
those charming Southern dramas
Astounding with tragic climaxes-it
would not be Southern otherwise-to
keep the interest of auditors at high
tension. The company by missing a
train connection, did not get to town
until about the time for the perform
ance to begin, and there was of ne

incongruities in stage furnishings, that
under different circumstances would
have been avoided. The audience
doubtless made allowance for these
shortcomings, for the applause was
frequent and unstinted.
DIR. Woodland is in receipt of a watch
and chain, through one OF the express
companies, from some person or per-
sons unknown. which places him in a
quandary to decide Just what is ex-

Accompanying it was brief, mis-
spelled note, asking him to announce
through Oily is receipt, and expressing
the hope that it would make things
"squar." The general surmise is
that a guilty and retributive conscience
has suggested this manner of return
ing stolen property to its rightful
owner, by placing it in possession of
prominent citizen with the injunctio
of publicity.

pline couple Of girls from the inter-
mediate department, for some infrac-
tion of the school rules, when he was
assaulted by one of the misses, Laura
Werner, and he now bears black eye
