Wednesday afternoon as the steam
err Nisqually was engaged in trans
ferring her passengers bound for
Shelton to the Sol Simpson, a Swed-
ish deckhand named Sands fell into
the bay. unobserved by anybody
aboard either steamer. which passed
on toward their respective destina-
tions. He was observed by people on
the launch Lark, however, and taken
from the water, and small boat was
lowered from the Nesqually and he
was taken aboard.
During lifetime in Olympia, it is
safe to say that the writer never saw
the equal of the deluge that fell 10 five
minutes about six O'Clock, Wednes-
day evening. The street cutters,
supposedly ample with the incline
from the center OF the street to q six
inch curb. were speedily filed, and
on either side rushing torrens flowed
rapidly to the overlooking culverts.
The total rainfall for the day was "A
OF an inch and the larger portion of
it fell during the deluge noted.
Five dollars day may seem ex-
tortionate that has been imposed
upon Lum Joe, a Chinaman, who
buys his stock of vegetables lover
the line," imported from the Lord
knows where. and peddles the same
in competition with home grown
products, but there are not many
who will agree with the decision Of
the court that it is just. The status
of the offender should be considered.
He is not q citizen. pays no taxes.
and it looks very much as if home
industry should be protected.
There are some people hereabouts
who think the organization known
as the l. w. w. originated at Aber-
deem, at the time OF the late strikes
among the mill Iaborers. II these
innocent people had read the STAND
ARD for the past seven years, they
would have been more correctly adj
vised. When this organization was
launched seven years ago at Chicago,
it was noted in our columns at that
time that it foretold much trouble
for employers of labor, trades unions
and Socialists, and the end is not
yet.
One of pleasures of the past few
few days has been the return OF
Judge Byron Millett from q seven
weeks visit to his mother in Colum-
bus, Nebraska, and a sister and
niece In Merrill, Wis, and host OF
old-time friends, at these points.
This trip has apparently done him
much good, and he returns well
pleased with his experience which
has been prolonged couple OF weeks
more than was contemplated. He,
with all Eastern visitors, has q few
words to say OF the intense heat
that has lately prevailed.
A. G. Arlitt, who for the past two
years has been associated with ]. J.
Ward, in the shoe business, buying
out A. G. Stevens. sold his interest
Wednesday, to his partner. Before
Mr.. Arlitt formed this o-partnership
maintained bakery in the east store
of the Olympia Theater, and became
especially famed for the quality of
his products. It is possible that he
may again engage in production OF
the staff of life.' Johnny Ward,
who is experienced in the shoe bust
ness will be found at the same old
stand with an up-to-date line Of foot
wear at the right prices.
It surely seems to have been an
unusual place for fire alarm to
Originate-in greenhouse-but that
was the report early Sunday morn
ing. 1t looks like an arranged plan
to create an excitement by raising an
alarm of fire and raiding adjacent
houses while the attention of nearby
residents was attracted by the
same. The faces of men appeared
at several windows, as if to dis
cover whether the occupants were
at home or on the alert, but were
frightened away when caught in the
act. If this is DOT true solution Of
the occurrence, it is profound mys-
terry.
A letter from Hazen w. Maynard,
a former business man of Olympia.
addressed to an old friend, mailed at
Port Said, Egypt, June Gath. states
that he enjoyed his trip across the
Indian ocean from Ceylon SO Arabia.
Quoting: 1.-THE Isle of Ceylon is
most beautiful indeed. I visited the
Hawaiian group, Japan, China and
the Philippines, also the Isle OF
