 TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 21, = There ts opportunity now offered for some one to get consulate, as G. W. Colvig of Grants Pass, Ore, consul from the United States to Colombia, has re- signed, as he intimated to his friends by letter some time ago he would do as soon as he reached home.
 MT. Colvig has had the post at Ba- ranquilla for two years and found them two of the longest and most un- pleasant years of his life. For the sake of his own and Mrs. Colvig's health he was obliged to resign. Then there were other bad features, excess i've heat being one.
 The continual warfare that is on be- tween the two civil factions keeps the country in a state of ebullition and dis ruption, so that the money of the coun- try is worth but little more than the paper it is printed on. Consul Colyig says the inhabitants of the country are for the greater part a dirty, uninteih- gent, shiftless lot
 MT. Colvig will resume his old busi- ness of practicing law in Grants Pass.
