We suppose O. L. FOSS and Ida ELIOTT are one at the present moment, as we noticed their names among the applicants for license to wed last week.

During 1890 several miles of sidewalk and streets will be built in Blaine: a new school building, a new city building, a new wharf and a new hotel beside a large number of business buildings and hundreds of new residences to accommodate the 1,500 or 1,800 population which we will have here on January 1st 1891.

We have heard it intimated this week that Mr. Hanson BERTHISON and Miss Lida HAWLEY were married in Lynden on Christmas day.

Work has been commenced on the new town building. Lots were purchased near the corner of Fourth and H streets, and the new building will be finished as soon as possible. It will be 18x36 in size and will be used for city offices and jail. We understand that it is the intention of the trustees to soon purchase two more lots in the same locality, which will give ample room for the fine city buildings which will be constructed there in a few years.

We learn upon investigation, that Bert and Addie were married on Christmas day in Seattle by the Rev. James EVA, and are now Mr. and Mrs. Albert WEST. They have returned to Blaine to receive the congratulation of their friends, and to make their future home, and the Journal is glad of it, and hopes they may always be among the happiest of married people. The bride's name was Miss Addie STEEN.

Thursday, January 9, 1890:

Prof. GRIFFIN is visiting his mother and sister, the latter being very sick at D. S. MILLER's residence.

To Mr. A. P. HERRING, late of Michigan, belongs the honor of putting up the first building in Blaine for 1890. The structure is his transfer barn at the foot of B street.

J. F. PARROTT, J. W. MARR, Arthur BARRACKLAW and William TAYLOR have spent several days in Blaine visiting during the past week, but returned to Seattle by the steamer Brick her last trip.

Mr. Geo. P. PERLEY came very near casting up his final accounts last Sunday. He had just returned home from a hearty supper at Dr. KING's and after reaching home was troubled somewhat with a cough. Going to a shelf where sat a bottle of cough syrup he poured out, as he supposed, a generous teaspoonful of the soothing liquid and swallowed it. Then he noticed immediately that he had taken the medicine from an aconite bottle instead of the cough syrup, and there was breathless excitement in the household in an instant. Mr. Geo. TERRY, who happened to be present, ran for one physician and Father PERLEY for another, and in less than twenty minutes Drs. KING and REEVES were both present. In the mean time the family had been administering the remedies at hand, and had surfeited the gentleman with lard and mustard water and those things, together with his hearty supper, undoubtedly saved his life, for his stomach was completely emptied, and probably the generous supply of clam chowder carried up every drop of the deadly drug. In that short twenty minutes which elapsed before danger was past Mr. PERLEY, who is a methodical man, arranged all his earthly business affairs and prepared as far as possible for the fate for which only good reason could look. It was a close call. A poison fatal in twenty minutes, with no antidote as is aconite seldom spares its victim, and Mr. PERLEY's recovery is considered almost a miracle.

Inspector REILLY, of Whatcom, had noticed several times lately a man hire a horse at a livery stable in that place and ride out of town towards the north, and he did the same one day last week. After the man had been gone a sufficient length of time Inspectors REILLY and BUCHANAN procured a buggy and took the road toward Nooksack crossing, and just before reaching the crossing they met their man in the road with a large gunny sack filled with something on his horse. They stopped the man, and upon looking through his baggage discovered that he had a large quantity of opium on board. Man and opium were both taken over to Port Townsend, from where Mr. BUCHANAN returned home last evening.

It is here with all its discouraging effects, and a dozen people are already down with it. We mean the Russian influenza which is making a tour around the world. The first case we heard of, which was very pronounced, was that of Will HAMLEY, who gave out on his way home from town and was obliged to take to a bed at Mr. HARVEY's where he lay for several days in a dangerous condition. Jerry MERRELL also came down very suddenly one day last week and has been since confined to his home. A number of men at MOORE's mill have been badly effected. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. WESTCOTT have been down with it. Grandma WHITCOMB has been a sufferer and the Journal force has been decreased by half by the dread epidemic.

J. N. RUCKER is logging off the windfalls on the CLARK Investment Co's tract, and finds many thousand feet of good timber there. A. WARREN is also putting in some good timber on the Blaine water front, hauled from his place on regular Minnesota logging sleds. This is a good time to get in logs which are difficult to reach on the bear (sic) ground, and this would be a good time to clear the Blaine townsite of available logs instead of burning them next summer, which will be done if they are not saved now.

In Whatcom on January 21st, Mrs. W. D. JENKINS died, after a long and painful illness, leaving a family of small children to mourn her loss. There is nothing more sad than the death of a mother with a flock of little ones to mourn her loss and miss her tender teachings. The whole community sympathizes with the sorrowing family.

Sorrow crowds heavily upon people sometimes, and often it seems as though the burden was too heavy to endure. Only a few months ago Mrs. M. C. HAWLEY, of Lynden, lost her husband, and now come word to her that on the 21st of this month her youngest son Leo HAWLEY, who had been in California for some months for his health, had passed away.

No place on the Sound is attracting any more attention just at the present than the town of Blaine. This place is sure to become a town of considerable importance. Favorably situated, with one of the best agricultural sections back of it of any in the state, fine harbor, soon to have at least one railroad, perhaps two, this place seems to have foundation to it. The present activity here, we think, is not so much the result of tremendous effort on the part of a few real estate men to boom the town at all hazards, but because of the honest conviction on the part of the people that Blaine is to be one of the important Sound towns. We like the principal on which they are building. They are bidding for good, honest and upright citizens. To such they offer special inducements. The saloon and its elements is not invited nor wanted. This is about the only town on the Sound in which the saloon has not rushed in and thrown out at every street corner its miserable sign. While this town is enjoying a phenomenal growth, the saloon element has constituted no part of it. Should any one desire further information in regard to Blaine, Bros. CAIN, BOBLETT or WARREN will be glad to furnish it. -Seattle District Journal.

Blaine needs a new school building. None of the Blaine school trustees have any children to send to school and one of them is in an eastern state.

Yesterday Dan McKELLER and BAIRD took to saddle and went out to where construction work is progressing on the railway between here and New Westminster. They found 300 men at work.

DIED
In Blaine, Washington, May 31st, 1890, Mrs. Lucy A. LIVINGSTON, aged about 38 years.
Lucy A. POMEROY was born in Maine, June 30th, 1852. Moved to Minnesota when a child and grew up to womanhood there. Was married in Champlain, Minnesota in 1872, to Isaiah LIVINGSTON. She and her husband and two children came to Blaine, in November 1888.
Mrs. LIVINGSTON was one of Blaine's good mothers who had brightened more households than her own with her comforting presence. Many the weary head has she pressed with her kindly hand; many the restless pillow she has smoothed out for sick ones. More than one household calls her blessed. But in the prime of life she is gone and we miss her kind presence. She leaves a husband, a son and daughter here in Blaine and many friends in the east to mourn her. She was a member of the Baptist church just organized in Blaine, but as her own church has no pastor, Rev. W. M. LUDWICK kindly officiated as minister at the funeral.

CARD OF THANKS
Blaine, Wash. June 5, 1890.
From the fullness of our hearts we do wish to hereby thank our kind neighbors for their thoughtfulness of us before and after our terrible bereavement. On the funeral day of our dear wife and mother, though the rain poured down upon them, they came out to cheer us amid the gloom and sorrow, and we do thank them for it all.
