TNl H. 10 PEHNANENTY LOCATE"
TIE Cr~TpN ii0UsE.-It seems that
Seattle Is making an effort To " ptrmt-
nently locate the Puget Sound Gus
tenn house in that city by removing it
from Port Townsend. Collector Ide
and Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury
Armstrong appeared before the House
Committee on Ways and Means, on
the 13th inst, backed by Congressman
Humphries, IN support of the measure,
while Representatives Cushman and
Jones opposed the bill, and, it is re-
ported, made it quite plain that if it
was reported favorably, would not pass
over their protest. 1t was urged in
support OF removal that it would save
the government $4,000 year, in the
transmission Of moneys collected in
Seattle, which have to go a round-a-
bout way for shipment to the sub
treasury in San Francisco, while its
opponents showed that the savings
would only amount to $1,000 and re-
suit in practically wiping out Port
Townsend as city, and that the pres
ent location being near the inter
natural boundary, better restraint
upon smuggling can be maintained
there than were the headquarters OF the
district located midway on the Sound.
Cushman made the point also, that no
demand had been made for change,
and that supporters Of the measure
had made DO claim that a change
would in any way benefit com mercial
interest. So the committee took no
action.

A FAIR FISHERMEN FOUND CASTING
FOR RESPONSIBILITIES Addie Swain is
the name of young woman lately
arrested by the postal authorities at
Seattle for using the mails for fraudu-
lent purposes. She claimed to repre-.
sent the South American Mining Co.,
and to be able to give valuable infor-
nation regarding opportunities at Pan.
anna for mining men. She used the
Spokane papers as the means of catch
ing suckers, and had remittances of q
cents, to be sent to Postoflice Box AT
Bremerton, which was given as the
agency OF the S. A. NJ. Co., whence the
valuable information would be dis.
pensed in homeopathic doses. She
was apparently doing a lucrative bust.
ness, from the number of letters car.
ried over from Bremerton to Seattle,
where the fair adventures, it seems,
resided. In return for remittances,
Miss Swain sent out a printed circular
depicting in glowing terms the oppor-
tunities existing at Panama and other
South American republics. 1t was
explained that the company had sus.
pended sending men to South America
temporarily, but soon as it had re-
sumed operations the applicant would
be notified and that his name had
been filed away for resurrection when
the good time came. Miss Swain,
when arraigned before the U. S. Com
missioner, asked for time to secure
counsel, which was granted her.

That good old timer, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," will be with us soon, and it is coming in all it's glory. The John F. Stowe production is positively the grandest and best ever through the western country. The great old drama is played just "as it was written" Not one word, :, line, scene or act is omitted. Every detail is carefully looked after by the strongest and most capable company that can be organized. The familiar characters, Little Eva. Uncle Tom, Topsy and Aunt Ophe- lia, are in capable hands. All the correct scenery and effects are used, while the musical features are away above the average Stowe's Mill tary Band will play grand free concert on day of entertainment, and 1t is worth hearing. The per formance is given for the benefit of the local l. o. O. F. lodge, and no doubt will be well patronized. Just one performance will be given-at night, Thursday, April, 21. Doors open at 7:3O; curtain rises at S:15. Will be on lot near the depot, under a mammoth tent. Prices 15 and 25 cents.

 was in Williams for few days on the sick list.
 Hugh Nephew, Frank Crtner and Ben Anderson spent couple of days in Williams. There are mo- mcnts when one wishes to be alone, but from all accounts they were with the crowd
 Some of the men of our camp have started a blue ribbon society. which no doubt will be a strong or ganiza tion, if properly organized.
 Mrs. Carr, who has been a guest at the home of Mr and Mrs. Me- Donald, spent Sunday in Williams
 Mrs Patrick Johnson, of Will jams, spent few days as a guest of Mrs. Mcdonald.
 B. White and Mr. Self, of Fort Worth, Texas, have returned to our camp.
 John Strong, engineer on 327, had to bring his engine in alone from Challender on Sunday. He waited all day for his fireman, Ed Johnson. who got injured on the Santa Fe unbeknown to John.
 Some unknown parties broke into the store room of our camp and carried off all that was possible to carry in the line of provisions. They also visited the pump house and likewise helped themselves to everything movable. Mir. Hills house has also been visited again, presumably by the same parties. Engineer Ryan says if they return there will be case for the coroner This kind of business has gone too far, and officers will be put on their trail and bring the culprits to a place where they will be properly taken care of.
 John Clark, better known as "Spavin Cure Jack" who has been boss here for some time, has gone to California
 There is some talk of having re- ligious services held here at least once a month. As it is now, great number of our men do not get a chance to attend services in Will jams.
 Ed. Johnson, the we'll known fire man on engine 327, met with very bad accident Sunday morning while returning from Williams. Being a very active young man, he jumped from No. s, about half a mile this side of Challender station. The train was running about forty miles an hour, and the unfortunate young man lost his footing and was thrown up against a small bank, from which he rolled back under the wheels, smashing his left foot. The train was immediately stopped and Johnson was taken to Flagstaff, where Dr. Brannan found it neces sary to amputate portion of his left foot. In this unfortunate acci- dent we miss one of the finest boys that ever came to Arizona. A col lection was taken up by Charles Lindstrom and Bobby Burns at John Ks camp and in an hour they had $127, while Walter Stanton and Al. Larson at Germans camp got the sum of $73, making a purse of $2O0.
