The advertising pages of the early Bee were an
accurate directory of the business interests of the
young city. Every business house Of Importance was
represented. Looking backward these trade
nouncements evokes flood of recollections of the
conspicuous in the commercial activities Of the
town. Many have been called to that bourne whence
traveller returns" majority have either retired
from business sought other fields of action. How
few remain! Out of 100 advertisers, representa-
tives of the citys commercial lfe but three four

First Anniversary.

All this in one eventful year, Little wonder then,
that The Bee, July 22 1872 should give way to this
little exultaton:
1T is but twelve months ago since The Bee first
futered into our western press with its undeveoped
wings We have the first copy before II is a sim
gle sheet Of paper measuring just 12x1S inches d.
vided into five columns. 1t then simply an hum
BILE little advertising sheet, seeking an introduction
into the community free medium of wit and
humor sandwiched between facts and figures The
Bee as a newspaper is yet twelve months old 1t
is hardly weaned To be it has had the measles,
the whooping cough and several other diseases that
little Bees are heir to- the world of newspapers
It will hardly be regarded as past its babyhood Only
few weeks ago it It's clothes and little limbs
cred from this disaster and it out dress
parade among the other great newspapers in full
dress. Today It adds another column to each wing
and is actually foolish enough to think of comparing
circulation with very old drones that have lived
long among and accomplished very little In maxi
ing this addition to its flying capacity The Bee pro-
poses to add nothing to the subscribers bills. On
the contrary, The Bee adds feature to Its bill
of fare in shape of carefully prepared CONNER
cal report, which branch of 1t proposes to cu-
tivate just as much any honey producing flower
will be its aim to add to the general news de-
parment and introduce other features in journal
ism time progresses The Bee may now be found at
the supper table Of the humblest laborer and me-
chanc as we'll as the tea table Of the most dainty
devotee fashion. 1t is read by everybody, Is not
afraid boldly sting where and when 1t pleases and
intends to make life those whose industry,
like its own, merits recognition and reward"

THE CAREFUL INsECT.

The careful insect midst his works view,
Now from the flowers exhaust the fragrant dew,
With golden treasures load his little thighs,
And steers hts distant journey through the skiesl
Some against hostile drones the hive defenda
Others with sweets the waxen cells distend,
Each in the toll his destin'd office bears,
And in the little bulk mighty soul appears.

THE BEE-Early Struggle for Existence and

piration OF the two weeks which It anticipated
would be required for restoration and resurrec-
ton, we greet the public with renewed vgor. We
have demonstrated that, like salamanders and Herring
safes, good newspapers are indestructble To those
unacquaned with the great labor and sacrifice re-
qured for the accomplishment such feat will per-
haps seem childs play. For eight days we travelled
almost necessarily, endeavoring to find the necessary
supplies and their prompt shipment by express.
The express charges alone material thus far
ceived amounts to $3.50. In a and
modious location, with facilities and machinery
ond to in the west, expect in due time to
vince the public that are in in desire
to establish permanent frst-class journal It will,
however, require time and encouragement for us to
recover from pecunary losses and continue
labors. We therefore apply to friends and
patrons to give a helping hand our journey
the horny path of journalism. Excelsior will here
after, as heretofore be our motto"

for this performance and in order
to make it an event long to be re-

that he will give the Sunday night

On Monday evening Oct2., the
Sheehan Opera company will present
the great comic opera success "The
Love Tales of Hoffman,"
'Grace Van Studdiford.''
The claim is so often set up by
managers Of travelling companies that
they have the prettiest chorus ever
brought together, that but little at
tention is paid by the average thea
tergoer to this altogether too pre-
valent hoax in theatrical advertising.
Yet, when a manager, like Daniel v.
Arthur, whose choruses have always
been noted for their beauty, declares
modestly that In 1.-The Paradise Of
Mahomet" the chorus can be said to
be fairly good looking one can be
pardoned for evincing little inter-
est.
Even more extravagant was their
praise of the singing of Miss Van
Studdiford, who after all needs no
recommendation to local theatergoers
in whose admiration she has long
been considered the very foremost
of American singers. The enchant-
ment that she wove over western
audiences by the magic charm Of
her Incompatible singing in RED

Scottish Pearls.

A number OF people in Scotland
make livelihood by searching for the
precious stones which are occasionally
to be found ensconced In the interior
of fresh water mussels. TO a lesser
extent 1t is also carried out on some
English and Welsh streams. but none
of these is so prolific In pearl bearing
as the northern rivers. There are au-
thentic records of Scottish pearls be-
ing found which rivaled any the
orient has produced so far as translu-
cency and f1awlessness are concerned.
writer OF the eighteenth century
states that 10000 was moderate es-
Innate of the value of pearls then fish
ed annually from Scottish rivers.
while 1t is matter of history that
German who formed syndicate of
fishers In 1865 acquired stones to the
value of $4,000 In that year alone.
But the industry is not SO remunera-
tive nowadays. London Standard.

The city of indianapolis has just

ample indications that the fad will
spread until no hamlet large enough to

Buffalo has adopted the idea with a
veritable Niagara OF enthusiasm, and

Buffalo design will be has not so far

Army in Three Divisions

On the last day OF June the new
order OF the War Department putting
an end to the department of the Col
umbia, went into effect and the head
quarters formerly maintained at Van
vouver, Wash, was abandoned, the
clerks being detailed to duty at other
points. The barracks, it is understood,
will still be used for quartering troops,
but the old Department Of the Column
bia, which has been in existence since
1885 under different names, will be no
more. Hereafter the army will be in
the three divisions, Eastern, Middle
and Western, and headquarters for the
latter will be at San Francisco.

Arrival of Potato Bugs

Opening an innocent-looking pack
age which he knew contained certain
insects which had been sent to the state
experiment station at Pullman for iden-
LITIGATION, Prof. A. L. Melander saw the
first potato bugs which are known to
have existed in Washington.
News that the potato bug is now in
the state will be heard with consterna-
ton by all who have seen the ravages
OF the insects in the Eastern states.
The Washington experiment station will
at once send notices throughout the
state, asking growers to watch for them
in their potato plantations and to report
at once any insects found.
