Olympia telephone exchange now
has over |, 200 patrons, and the sys-
TEN has been made up-tO-date in
all respects, including underground
wires through the business part of
town and the central energy sys-

Of its equipment. The extensive

Mrs. Emile Kohlman, former
Olympian, has again been arrested
at Seattle, for practicing medicine
without a license. This is the third
prosecution. She has not been con-
victed under either trial, and prob

P-L that Mrs. kohlman frequently
prescribes for from twenty-five to
thirty patients day, and as they all
seem to believe that she relieves
their maladies, it looks as if it
might be business rivalry that

Purchasers of real estate located
at and near Black Lake, that former
ly belonged to the estate of the de-
ceased Samuel Scott, are somewhat
concerned about having their titles
cleared up. The cause of their solic-
itude seems to be owing to the fact
that Moses Scott, the son and heir of
Samuel, had an interest in this realty.
1t will be remembered Moses was
once declared dead, and thereafter
appeared in the flesh, which some
