Water Front.
A week from today the tiopular
west coast i.auuury ol tins citv

the ferry lauding. The change is
made on account of the demand for
additional room to accommodate the
new machinery to be installed.
1 he new laundry will be 60x1 10
ftet with detached engine and iron
ing rooms. Although the work
turned out by Mr. Johnson is tin
surpassed, he is determined to im
prove his product,, by the addition of
the latest improved machinery.
Among the machines that will be
installed will be a new $1,500 man
gle, a neck and wrist baud irouer,
a large washer, n shirt and collar
Marcher and a duplex body irouer.
It will require several days to get
settled in the new location and the
patrons are asked to be patient on
the guarantee that better work than
over awaits them.

The new boat will have a carry
ing capacity for six teams 011 the
lower deck. 1 he passenger cabin

ends of the boat will be sharp, oh-
atlug the necessity ot turning oil
