she is employed, as comrade. This

Talcott Bros, jewelers.. received
an order from a Boston woman. this
week, for a souvenir spoon of this
State. They sent her one made in
Washington, of Washington silver
and by the oldest jewelry store in
Washington. 1t was handsomely
engraved with a picture of the State
Capitol and the words Olympia. State
of Washington on it. This is only
one OF many instances in which the
firm has received orders for articles
carried in their line from far off,
which goes to prove that the old and
reliable jewelry store is known all
over the country.
A jury session is an expensive
institution for the taxpayers of the
county, but it is necessary under the
law. Evidently Judge Mitchell en-
deavors to reduce this expense to a
minimum, in which he has the CO.
operation of Prosecuting Attorney
Wilson and Sheriff CASTOR. These
officers are not to be blamed for de-
fects in the jury system regarding
the manner of impaneling and the
qualification OF jurors in civil and
criminal cases, especially with re-
gard to the latter. The men who do
not read the current news seem to be
under the existing laws the more de-
sirable jurors.
When the auto with Gov. Hay and
President Taft arrived at the east
door of the Capitol, Wednesday. dur
ing the Taft reception, there was a
general call by the children for Taft.
Thereupon Gov. Hay arose to intro
duce the President, and still the
call for Taft continued. To enjoin
attention. the Governor asserted:
You know who l am" =" Yes,
yes" was the response" President
Taft!" and it then devolved upon that
gentleman to introduce the children
to their own State officer. This does
not show. well for q candidate who
has had bis rod up tor a year or more
as o candidate to succeed himself.
He should surely be known to every
man, woman and child in his own
bailiwick.

A. w. Mccain owner of q large
single mill at North Bend. in King
county. has determined to move to
this city, having acquired q site
on the Carlyon fill for the purpose.
The work of removal has already be-
gun, and it will begin operations soon
as q building can be constructed.
The cause OF removal is because all
available and suitable timber has been
exhausted, and here, after the belt
line has been completed. will afford an
excellent opportunity for opening
q big supply of timber from the
forests west and south OF us. The
Mills capacity will be us, 600 shingles
per day, and it will employ from IS to
40 men. This is an evidence Of the
efficient work of Secretary Watson
in convincing Mr.. McCann of the
superior inducements that this loca-
ton affords. An extensive tool
house has already been erected to
facilitate building operations.
Another of the old time landmarks
has been removed within the past

service to Portland was performed
by Capt. Hoyt's side-wheel steamer
Multnonah. The first daily service
was also performed by MIR. Winsor,
with bis headquarters in the old
building just razed. It was railroad

this service fast as constructed until
it is now rail the entire distance,

thrifty times in that line of yore,
