Henry Westphall, an old citizen OF
Port Angeles, died there a few days
ago. His dominating idea during q
long illness was that everything should
be subserved for the benefit of hu-
manity. In order that all his money
possible should be used for this pur.
pose, he had his coffin made on his
own plans and kept it in his house.
Some time ago he withdrew from the
Masonic lodge in order to avoid any
display at his burial and especially re-
quested that his burial should be per-
fectly simple. He left nearly all he
had to the county for the establish
ment of poor farm.

Another awful avalanche has dis.

Ing from the direction OF the mount.
ain. Captain Ludlow was 80 impressed
with the belief that the terrible roar
was one of the great disturbances of

inquiries among his neighbors to see
if they had heard it, and several de.

unusual proportions has moved down
the mountain side.
