congratulated on his expedition in
securing a filing on school-laud in
demnity tracts, in the Seattle land
office. just a few moments before it
would have been too late to receive the
application. The office was worked
overtime and a chariot race rivaling
the Roman speed was made to Seattle,
and luckily Mr.. Ross reached the Of
fee in time to secure lands valued at
one and half millions OF dollars.

owner, doubtless with fear of dam
age suit before his eyes, sailed forth
Sunday with his unerring rifle and

The expert accountant overhauling
the county books, finds that George
Gelbach was a defaulter during his
term as Treasurer, to the amount of
$lO,365. Gelbach is now q resident OF
Idaho, but bis bondsmen for the last

larger part OF the shortage occurred,

Brown. Several of the bondsmen for
the first term are dead, but it is
claimed that estates are held for such
liability.

the Port Townsend. Southern ia but now
claims to be under the fostering wings
OF the Northern Pacific at times, aud
extremely independent at other times.
Ways and means for redress were dis.
cussed by the Chamber of Commerce
month ago. and a vigorous protest
was rendered, with very little atten.
