Architect Richie has presented an.
other bill amounting to $4,000, for
overtime" expended on the capitol
annex. 1t was promptly disallowed
by the commission, and now proba-
bly, the courts will be appealed to for
aid. Verify, this job is fairly incrust-
ed with blood-suckers. The success of
past endeavor has encouraged such
gratis and it remains for those charged
with the management of public affairs
to obliterate them.

While 1904 in the East went out
like roaring lion, he was decidedly
lamb-like about this favored State, and
in this city, the same was visible near.

was no rain, and very little snow had
been reported as falling in the foot
bills. On the first day of the new
year Cor rather night, for the rain has
fallen and high winds prevailed main
ly at night this m onth) was quite diff
ferent, and we have had the usual
alterations of rainfall and sunshine
since young Nineteen Nought Five
began his swing of the scythe OF Time.

The old Kendall sash and door fac.
tory building at Tumwater was wholly
consumed by fire. Monday night. The
building was erected third OF century
ago, and was operated as a sash and
door factory for time by it's builder,
aud afterwards az q general wood
working factory by s. N. Cooper and
was afterwards used as box factory.
The machinery had been removed.
The old four story Crosby mill nearby
was endangered for q time, but its
luck for continued existence-the only
good fortune it has ever had-pre-
vailed. and it continues to afford a
possible stumbling block for some
other enterprise. In 1861, at a public
opening, intended to have been day
of rejoicing, while the building was
thronged with visitors, Q daughter of
]. B. Biles, . resident OF Tumwater,
was caught in q revolving pinion and
killed. Its business record has ever
been one OF disaster. No project bad
ever succeeded conducted within its
walls. and it has been mill and factory
by turns for nearly the half century
il has stood on its foundation. The
Mcintosh mill, near by, was doubtless
rendered immune by the dsmpness OF
the roof from much rain that had
fallen the few days preceding. At last
we have found q cause for federation
Of our winter rains in the late Olympia
and Tum water eros.
