The importance and superiority of
Port Townsend as shipping centre is
fairly illustrated by the fact that when
the inn of Grifiith, Bridges Jr. ntetson
first located on Puget Sound they made
their headquarters at Tacoma. with a
branch otfice at Port Townsend. Their
principle place of business is Port
Townsend, and their branch office is in
Tacoma. [Ledger please copy.]
The Port Angeles Commonwealth is
having a oonniptioa fit because the AB- .
gun has seen proper to discuss the ‘
Clalum county special election on coun- 1
tv seat. It imagines tnat Port Town
send ls jealous of Port Angeles; at least
it gives that us an “argument" in favor
o! the legality of the act of the commis
sioners Such begging of the question
is quite common among those who have
a weak cause to sustain. In the first
place. it there is any jealousy toward
Port Angeles on the part of Port Town
send, it has never yet manifested itself.
But it there were, what earthly bearing
could it have on the county seat ques
tion is more than we can understand.
The “heathen. childlike and bland”
ninny of the Angeles paper may make
himself rediulons, but that will not ef

local pride and unity of spirit. He Was '
frequently applauded. Uri thv subject l
of tho railroad. thcro Was but out: sin-ilk- i
er—the others not having put in an :ip— ‘
penrance. Gen. Smith said that as far i
. as the subscriptions were concerned “my I
were getting along first rate. About i
1300 acres of land had been subscrihtd, l
and some money. He did not know why I
there was not some one out on the line
working liko a beaver for His subsidy;
he certainly thought there should be.
One thing ho felt constrained tocnn
demn was the {not that Chiiinmcu were
employed to clear ofi' the loud purchased
by railroad stockholders, and being
platted by them as an addition to the
town. Did they expect to sell lots to
Chinamcn? He was not trying to incite l
any anti-Chinese movement, but believed
that such Work should be given to white
men who would buy land, rear homi-s,
educate families, pay taxes and build up
a prosperous community. [This senti
ment was vociferously cheered]
Capt. Goo. H. Jones was the uextl
speaker, his subject being plats, ud
ditions, sidewalks, etc.. and was disposed
of in a few pointed and practical to
marks. He excused the other speaker
assigned to this subject. acting .\lziyor
Learned, giving the latter's regrats‘ rea
sons for his absence and HSBIIJHJCES of
Cooperation for the welfare of the city.
Allen Weir discussed the question of
standing by the city council. He had
not selected the subject him-ell, and it
was one which admitted of but a single
ccnclusion——under certain circumstances.
We had been too much in the habit of
voting for candidates for councilman be
cause they were good fellows. or because
they would probably be elected. We
must see to it' that. those elected this
year would correctly represent the en
terprising sentiment of the city. He
did not wish to reflect upon the present
city council, and was sure that a majori
ty of the_msmbers would be just as pro
gressive as public sentime’nt and public
funds would permit. A recent seventeen
hundrod-dollar street contract showed
that they were progressive; but the town
was so conservative they were afraid of
censure. He was glad to see this agita
tion. He thought the city council should
be urged on and encouraged. As long
as they were progressive of course we
would stand by them in every good
work. He cited blamablc instances in
the past. and pointed out necessities for
the future. He believad that filly thou
sand dollars expended in public im
provements this year would result in ten
times that amount being invested iunong
us. Hon. A. W. Bush next took up the
matter of mud flats. street obstructions,
etc. He thought the business part of
the town too much hemmed in. Its
principal street had a saw mill across
one end and s blufl‘ hedging in the
other. The sooner the city authorities
declared the mill ii nuisance and allow
sd thirty days for its removal the better.
We needed more room. Rev. J. N.
Denison made a telling speech on the
subject of stonmboats. fares. heights,
etc. We were discriminated against
more than any other point in the north
west. We ought to demand fares of not
lover 81.50 each way to Seattle, and
ipledge our united patronage as it com
‘ munity to the company that would
establish this rate. We should insist;
on two steamers a day to Whidby island 3
and titty-cent fares—subsidizing and
encouraging the local steamers till
they could make it phy. There should
be a daily steamer to Dungeness
and Port Angeles— makinir the trip in
the daytime, and at low charges. He
was loudly cheered. and at the close, on
motion of Mr. Littlcfield, tho corres
pmding secretary was instructed to
confer with Mr. Dcnisoa and communi
cate with the transportation companies
with a view of securing theweedrd
reforms. After further remarks by the
president the meeting adjourned till

I :pcnt an evening with Xr. William
Pope, one at the 151Tng dealers 1n :u-my
gnu-05in England, and in the course of
the interview he told mu several curious
(act: in connection with the business.
"\Vh)‘, bless Luv,” said the wealthy
dean-r, “there have been times when I
can“ have clothed and equipped :3. 900(1
sited army on a day‘s notice. I 01108 had
an old chapel full of rifles, a warehouse
fuller swords, a hundred thousand hel
mets, and as many coats, trousess and
boots. But the rifle business, like the dis
carded rifle. is broken up now."
“\Vh): is that!" _
"It was after the Pmnix park murders.
The great market for the rifles had for
many years been Ireland. The govern
ment begamo alarmed, and the order was
issued to break up all the rifles, and as the
order has newer been rescinded I suppose
they will go on breaking them up until
doomsday. At any rate there are no more
rifles to be bad.”
"But. were not, these rifles very old fash
ioncd?”
“Of course they were. but that was all
the better for the South African trade.
The natives liked the old flint guns with
the stocks painted red. “'hy, there is an
establishment on Brandon, in Norfolk,
makingr iiint locks to this day. It even
pays to take out the more modern locks
and substitute liint locks. These flintguns
and old swords are sent out in barrels
and («changed for palm oil, which comes
back in the some lizu'rcls. Before the
Piurnix purl: murders I employed 100
men cleaning up and repairing; govern
ment rules. nubkets and firearms of all
sorts. I hare reached as many as 20,000
in a month. Now the British govern
ment employs men at £1; :1 week to break
them all up."
“What else do you buy of the British
and continental gon-rnmeuts besides im
plements of warfare?”
““‘hy, bless in». my young: friend. I
buy everything: tents, blankets, plchS,
shovels, boots, ;;l .rt-s, gailer<, helmets,
saddles, harness and nt-coutei‘nients of all
kinds."
“Do you examine them before purchas
ing?"
"Don’t. examine one. It‘s what you
i Yankees call trading out. of sight. and un
:seen. You pay down your money and
‘you find out what you’ve got when you
begin to nssort, according to the value. I
employ 500 people at times in the various
departments of my business. and it you
Would only reduce your tarifif I could soon
employ a thousand."
“What do you do with the old boots?”
“\l’ell, I’m not so much in the old boot
line. There isn’t much in that unless you
make a business of it. I have a friend who
has a factory employing 500 or 600 men,
and he literally makes old boots into new.
He buys all the army, all the police, and
in fact all the old boots he canlay his
hands on. They are taken to pieces and
the leather cleaned and redressed, and a
new boot or shoe constructed out. of the
good pieces of leather, and all sorts of
smaller articles made out of the best p'art
of the worn out: pieces. He makes a very
durable hob nailed boot, which is known
in the trade and bought by casters, farm
laborers and railway porters. This is
called translating.”
“What. becomes of the uniforms?"
“Most. of them go abroad. The oil skin
capes and cork helmets go to India, the
brass helmets to the Cape, and the tunic
and policemen’s uniforms to South Africa.

red jackets are rather a drug, though the

on a non-porous vessel to form a stand;
put water round the bottom to keep the
shade air tight, then procure fresh cut
blossoms, put. them in water immedi
ately, drop into the water in which the
flowers are placed a small quantity of
spirit of chloroform and place the shade
over them at: once. The flowers thus
treated, some writer says, will keep fresh

Girls on a Lurk.
Two men flanked opposite sides of an
elevated railway pillar the other after
noon. One was a. rugged beggar playing
an asthmatic accordion. The other was a
nattily dressed man who stopped to cool
himself in the shade. He held his white
beaver hut in his hand while be wiped the
sweat. from his brow. Just. then there
flashed along an open Landau containing a
quartet: of pretty girls. They were evi
dently out for a. lurk. One of them w
pying the gentleman‘s beaver gayly wnfted
a handful of copper-s into the tile with the
remark: “Poor fellow! Share these cop
pers with your brother beggar!”

Commodore Vanderbilt's Secret.
One day a young clerk who was ambi
tions for a large fortune determined to
visit Commodore Vanderbilt and learn
from him the secret. of accumulating
wealth. He. entered the magnificent,
apartments of the millionaire, with whom
he was somewhat acquainted, stated his
errand, and asked him on what mysteri
ous principle he conducted business with
such unexampled success? Mr. Vander
bilt eyed him a moment to sound his
motives and then slowly replied: “By
working hard and saying nothing about
it.”—Dry Goods Chronicle.
The Last Squeeze.
Some ingenious man has devised a
scheme of using again the halves of lem

lemonade. The. invention should be pop

lemons are put in water and mixed with
acid under pressure. Not as much juice

but theyare real lemon skins, and that

popular prejudice against. lemon juice.
