The new Farmers Cooperative
Creamery is now turning out an ex-
cellent grade of gilt-edge butter, and
50 far has been unable to supply the
local demand. This Creamery is To-
Gated in new building, erected for
the company by VIM. Mitchell, on
on Third street, between Columbia
and Water. Everything about the
new venture is new and first-class,
and It starts off with vigor and de-
cision that foretells success.
Three suits have been entered in the
Superior Court against the reassess-
OF street-grade taxes by the city. The
parties appealing are John B,rne, and
the Sisters of Charity, the latter in two
cases, the Providence Academy prop
erty and realty on Ninth street.
George c. Israel has been retained to
fight the interests OF these contestants,
and it is said that he makes sixteen
separate allegations against the valid
ity and justice of the late assessments.
The appraisers of the Stuart estate
-Messrs. l.. b. Faulkner, c. b. Mann
and ID. S. Paisley-have placed its
total valuation at $72,7l0, which
consists of S45, O60 in personal property
and S27,G5O in realty. She owned
certificates of deposit to the amount
OF $26,643, which was placed rs fol-
lows: Ladd d Tilton, Portland, $lO,-
33l; Olympia National, $500, and
Capital National $S.2l2. She had at
time of death, in her own possession,
$3,5l2.
Chas. Jackson, charged with at
tempted rape, has been held to answer
for the crime, and his bond fixed at
$1,000. AS there was no perceptible
rush to secure bond he now lam
cuisines in Jail where he will doubtless
remain until his case is called in the
Superior Court. Jackson had no at
torney and made no defense, except
denial OF the charge, but the evidence
seems conclusive against him, and he
will, no doubt, get his just deserts in
due time.
Some wretch in human form has
been putting out poison for harmless
dogs, that have paid for the privilege
of living, the past few days, and Mr..
Israel's pet dog Bull" with several
Others, have fallen victims to the
devilish impulse planted in some
human hearts, to kill. 1t is hoped
that investigation now being made
will lead to discovery of the perpe.

quate punishment will be accorded
for the Infamous deed.
The O.egonian says that black bass
wherever introduced in lakes stocked
with carp, proceed at once to ap.
propriate to their use the smaller fish.
This will be pleasing information for
those who have imported the latter
fish to the detriment of all other
varieties of the finny tribe, for they
can probably exterminate the pest by
stocking their ponds with the bass,
and then destroy the exterminator be.
fore it attacks young trout and other
varieties of desirable fish.

w. L. Scott, Game Warden OF Mon
tana, has sent out letters to those
charged with care Of game in Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, North Dakota and
Minnesota, inviting them to con
ference in the National Park, next
June, to exchange ideas with regard
to game protect on. The place Sc
lected for holding the meeting, it may
be remembered en- PEASANT, is an ideal
one, and if the suggestion came from
Congress. one would very naturally
regard the gathering as an official
junketing expedition.

her afternoon service to Seattle, it has,
We are assured, been abandoned, and
the morning and afternoon boats will
continue their present service. There
has been some reduction of salaries,
and this has caused Capt Fred Will
son and Mate Oscar Jacobson to re-
sign their positions. and they have
been succeeded by Capt. Anderson as
skipper and Benz. Hanson, of Seattle,
as mate. The man who cooks the

The Tacoma News says that Miss

sists of such "horse. play" as SLAM

w. d. Wolfe. of Seattle, who is said
to represent Eastern capital, is in the
city to secure location for sawmill
and single factory. The only re-
spouse for subsidy so far made, is by
J. r. Chaplin and associates, who offer
free site at Buffers Cove and $1,000
when the works are in operation.
This is not proposition for loca-
ton by dam-site. but a proposition
to build the mills on tide-water, to be
run by steam for the present, with a
promise OF compressed air as motor
when the plan is fully develOped-if
the subsidy is large enough.
