She Is a native OF Limerick, Ireland,
aged about p; is a light blonde,
rather pretty. and possesses all the
vivacity. as well as the push and en-
ergy inherent to her race. She was
one of the few white women who
reached Cassiar last year. where she
opened boarding house on Deas creek
and realized comfortable ..pile. -
During January, she again started
from Fort Wrangle for the Deas creek
mines. Her extraordinary freak of
attempting to reach the diggings I'm
mi,lwinter. and in the face of dangers
and obstacles which appalled, even the
stout-hearted Fannin and thrice drove
him back to Wrangle for shelter, is
attributed by her friends TO insanity.
So impressed was the commander at
Fort Wrangle that hc sent ont guard
of soldiers TO bring her back The
guard found her encampetl OH the ice
of Stiikin cooking her evening meal by
the heat of a wood fire aud humming
lively air. So happy. contentetl and
comfortable did she appear that the
''boyS in blue y sat down and took
tea at her invitation, and returned
without her. 1t is feared she has
perished from the intense cold that
prevailed during the latter part OF
JANUARY along the entire coast.

The Walla Walla Statesman of Feb.
6. says: g The question just now in
every mans mouth is. How is the
stock p So far we have heard of but
comparatively few deaths. but if the
snow remains on the ground much
longer, the impression is that the
fatality will be very great. Many
stock men have already exhausted
their feed. and with this class it is
either an immediate break mp of win
ter, or otherwise their cattle must
perish. So far those who had feed to
sell have acted liberally. Hon. Dan
Stewart, owner of one of the largest
hay ranches i'll the valley. offered his
hay at IS ton-less than hay sold
for before the cold weather commenc-
ed. We hear of another hay man OH
the Touchet, who Offered hay to all
applicants at So per ton. This is the
true policy, Live and let live. -
The Express says: The logging
business at SteiIaeoom is of late better
than it has been for months. and after
a few weeks more we expect to hear
of great activity in all camps. Several
stealnt rs are now due from the saw.
mills OIL the lower Sound to tow large
RATS of saw-logS from here. and mill
owners at various points are in quest
of lnggerS willing to contract for the
furnishing of, in the aggregate, ar
immense number of piles. In the
early spring we. may confidently ex
pecL greater activity OH this bay thar
has been for several years past.
