destitute of foliage as we'll as fruit.

The lower floor joists in the Mott
man brick, On Sixth and Washington
streets, are being renewed at the ends
entering the brick walls, they being |
affected by a dry rot which prevails |
in this country under certain climatic |
conditions. With this and other i'm.

As usual, John A. Rea bobbed up
serenely at the formation of the

his usual platform. This time it con.
sisted of single plank making Theo.
dore Roosevelt the choice of the Ma

Mike O'Connor has been on the
sick list for several days past, but he
is one OF those irrepressible business
men who never gives up until CON-
PEELED to do so. He finally concluded

OF Seattle, now fills his place as tele.
graph operator, while Misses Boyer
