NEWS OF THE STATE. The Blaine State Bank, of Blaine, has suspended. Both houses of the Seattle council have ordered street car and electric light wires to be placed under ground. The number of men employed in fishing on Willapa harbor and its tributaries this fall is nearly double what it was last year, and big fish are plentiful. A convention of miners is in session this week at Spokane. with the object of advancing the interests of the miners, and of the mines, one of the principal sources of wealth of the state. Charles E. Myers, the murderer of Frank Sherry, was hanged at Walla Walla, Monday. Myers set fire to the City hotel in Asotin, two years ago, in order to burn his divorced wife. The wife escaped but Sherry perished. Another big enterprise is projected by Seattle parties. It is to use the Cedar river to furnish power to generate electricity sufficient to furnish Seattle and Tacoma with all their power; also to use part of the water to supply the city of Seattle. John McClelland, of Olympia, spent four days in a gulch in the Olympic mountains, recently, without food or fire, having lost his footing and slipped into it while hunting. He was nearly dead from hunger and cold when found by his companions. The Northern Pacific car shops at Edison showed a pay roll of $21,000 for August, affording employment to 375 men. The shops are now turning out the fourth order for 100 freight cars, which are constructed entirely of home product except the end sills, which are of oak. f Those under construction are monsters, and will hold 70,000 pounds.
