who once resided in this city, his

having left here many years ago for
St. Paul: Word was received in St.
Paul yesterday of the death of Peter
Ortt, Lakota, N. D., where he has
been for the past six weeks. He
had resided in St. Paul all his life,

A letter from Mrs. S. W. Ham
contains the information that Mr..
and Mrs. Ham have moved from
Everett to Charleston, Wash. and
that Charleston is about one hours
ride on a steamer from Seattle, and
a mile west of Bremerton, head

working in the yards, and likes the
work better than anything he has
had heretofore, working eight hours
per day at So per day wages. Deer
appear to be plentiful in that

Ham went out and killed two deer
in short time, and the Hams were
eating venison when the letter was
written. War vessels, coaling ships,

making the first sales of it's products
from it's oyster beds on Samish
flats, and the reports are that they
are giving satisfaction. Fred P.
Offerman, treasurer of the company,
stated yesterday that the company
will be able to supply oysters from
now on and that very soon ship
ments will be made to other cities
on the sound. A large amount of
oysters are available for marketing.
says Mr.. Offerman. This will be
increased by the product from the
eastern oyster beds, on which are
growing some of the finest of
Chesapeake oysters and which will
be ready for the market in about a
month. The Japanese oysters
planted early last summer will not
be propagated in sufficient guam
