The Seattle PosMn:elltgencer of re cent date says: The date f the ecelvr's sale of the plants of the Puuet Sound Packing Co. his been set for April 1.1. and It Is ex pected there will be livly bidding. The property of this concern comprises the old Seaborg plant at Fairhavcn, the Hanthon plant at Port nr.'l s and other minor Interests. The corporation wa organised a your ago hy New York parties an I, aside fnm the canneries centrolled. owns some of the b.-st fishing grounds ,n the Sound.

The Port Angeles plait was not .oper ated last year. It wis the old Han thorn" plant an I has a cipaclty of $00 cases a day. Since the beginning of the sardine Industry here It has been tiS'.'d some for that product and It Is fald Is admirably adapt?! for such use. The Interest in the sal.e which will be conducted by Receiver Henry M. Neton at Falrhivn, Is In the fact that the Alaska Packers Association Is re ported to be aftir the property. It Is said this concern will use It to Increase Its output this season and make Its war to prevent the consolidation of Interests here. It Is also said the combine of Sound and Alaska canneries headed by R. Onffroy la after the property and therefore it would not be surprising if It should bring a good price. WRITING AN OPERA.

Koads have been constructed for other counties for n uch lea th in $4000 a mile, w hich waa the lowest bid submitt-sl. T'nler the first specification the road waa to be f'xteen feet wide to Olney and ten mil" from thit point on.

CAN CUBANS GOVERN THEM SELVES. One of the best known diplomatists recently declared that the Cubans are Inctpable of governing themselves, and that the United States must maintain Its present control Indefinitely, or else annex the Island. There win be those who will dispute this, but there are none who depute the well established fact that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters la capable of controlling the common diseases of the stomach. It is a rem edy that Is backed by fifty years of success. It Is an Ideal medicine for constipation: a strength builder for those who are predisposed to lung trou bles, and for nervousness It Is of won derful be lefit. As an appetlxer It Is In comparable.
