definitely refused by the master build

added IA per cent increase to the whole

been nearly doubled. The county off,

new RAILROAD OFFICES
Milwaukee and O.-W. II. 4 n. Now LO
Gated In Businexs Section.

In one of the most finely equipped
Offices of its kind in this part of the
state, the Milwaukee railroad, in con-
nection with the o. w. r. e. NJ rail-
road, is now making a stronger bid
for business in Olympia than before.
The new Offices at $40 Main street,
near Sixth. have been newly furnished
and present an unusually attractive
appearance. Scenes along these two
railroads are shown in pictures hung
on the walls, an attractive window dis
play of a similar character is being
made, while the interior has been en-.
tirely refurnished, large oak counter
dividing the room.
Besides the two railroads, the local
Offices of the Pacific Coast Steamship
company. and the Great Northern and
the American Express companies will
be maintained there. j. G.. Percival
will continue as local agent of the two
railroads and the steamship company.
The new Offices were opened this
week. The local agencies of these
several companies had formerly been
located on Percivals dock, but the in
creased business both anticipate for
Olympia necessitated their obtaining
a location nearer the business section
The fact that these Offices have been
opened and a stronger bid will be
made for local business indicates tina.
Olympia is not to be relegated to the
side in the future, by these railroads,
at least. 1t is further significant from
the fact that the Milwaukee now has
no entrance into Olympia and the
move may shed some light ON the
numerous rumors concerning the in
tentions of that railroad

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-Uncle Sam

roll of $152,986,433.72.
According to the annual report of
the commissioner of pensions, there
are 1872 pensioners residing in the
state, and they drew during the last
fiscal year. total of $1,S47,7489O.
Alaska has "A pensioners, whose an
nual payments last year were $13,

The number of survivors of the Civil
War on the pension roll att he clase
of the fiscal year was 497,263, net
loss to the roll of 1881. The number
of survivors whose names were drOpp
ed from the roll during the year on &C.
count of death was 1891. The num-
Der Of new names added to the roll
was 1913.
The number of individuals in the
military and naval service of the
United States during the Civil War Is
estimated at 2,213,365. AS the num-
Der of survivors on the pension roll Is
less than 100000, it is evident that IS

survivors is nearly per cent. and the
