While the Light Il Power Company
are making an effort to improve their
service. may it not be well to hint
that the water company. from some
cause or another, has been furnishing
very clouded water through the
downtown mains, the past few days.
That we very seldom hear any COM
plant from this branch of the public
service, impels the belief that the
cause will soon be found and abated.

Despite the flourish of II umpets a
short time ago, over the appoint
ment of an extra number of forest
guards as an indication that with the
heavy rains the fire risk would be
reduced to the minimum, Super
visor I.ovejoy, OF the Olympic Ma
tional forest, with headquarters here,
now says that the service is likely
to come to end July LIST, from the
fact that no money is at present
available for continuance.
A car-ferry has been started be-
tween Shelton and Tacoma, whereby
the shipment of lumber and shing les
from the woods may be made more
direct and expeditions with the
wholesale dealers East. A late ship
mert of five cars between these
points was made, owing, it is said,

Several serious shocks from light
ming are reported during last week S
storm. One bolt struck the house of
w. H. Johnson, a rancher, living
near Malone, in Chehais county. 1t
shattered every window, overturned
furniture and ran over the bed in
which his tive-year-old daughter
slept doing her no damage. A man
down the Sound is reported to have
been killed, but no particulars are at
hand, and tree was riven at South

Would it rot be well to have the
construction of sidewalks placed I'M
der the control of some officer who
will see, when they are constructed
of plank, that they are laid closely
enough together as to serve the con-
venience of those who from chance or

eyes turned constantly to his feet. he
frequently drops his cane into one
of those needless cracks and sustains
a painful jolt OF his shoulder. No
body will object to a separation
sufficient for swelling of the wood in
damp weather, but a quarter or half
inch is all that is necessary for this
purpose, and will Obviate the obiec-

without growl or bite? 1t is also
authority for the statement that
Gov. Hay says there is no split in
the Republican party" despite the
malcontents at Chicago numbered
almosta majority over the regulars
after all the skillful counting of
the National Committee. Can this
prominent accidental office hold.
er imagine that he can close his
own eyes and obscure the vision of
those who see SO plainly that the g.
