The Caney Bridge.

Edttor Herdtd.
| see an article in a grange paper in
in which the writer claims for the
granger organization, all the honor of
the widespread and imperative de-
mand for retrenchment and reform
that at this time so happily stirs and
engages the attention of the people of
these United States. Now, whether
his claim is well founded or not, is
not the point in the article.
l also see an article in the Hartford
Herald, in which the writer asks the
court of claims for another thousand
dollars in addition to the one thousand
already appropriated to build bridge
across Caney creek. The writer to my
certain knowledge is prominent gran
ger and entitled to his share of the
aforesaid honor. Then let us stick to
the text. One of the charges against
Secretary Robson, is that he has
squandered two hundred thousand
dollars and one item in that charge is
that he gave his contracts to unskilled
workmen who knew but little or moth
ing of ship building.
Now, we are not informed by the
article referred to that he is a skilled
bridge builder the which 1 very much
doubt but he estimates the cost at two
thousand dollars. Now, know that
skilled workmen have estimated on
that bridge and know the figures to
be not over twelve hundred dollars.
Then why give man who has never
had any experience in that line, eight
hundred dollars more than the me-
chanic who has learned the trade
would do it for? Is that granger re-
trenchment?
If it is the policy of the muchly
honest grange to ignore the utility or
even existence of the mechanic an fill
his place with those who know moth
ing of his trade, 1 suppose We must
submit. TAX AND TAXED.

Terrible Accident.

Mr.. S. Woodward, of Bells Store
precinct, was rushing along at Il furious
rate, last week. He saw some
thing in the track before him and con-
cluded it was nothing but an CALDER
SrALK," and he would just run over
it; but it proved to be a scion of the
solid oak, and Mr.. Woodward, got bad
ly snagged. Doubts are entertained of
his recovery.

THE Grand Circus that was adver-
tised to exhibit in this county last
Monday was a failure. The famous
equestarian, Mr.. Woodward, who un-
dertCok to ride 50 many horses around
the ring at the same time, got
thrown and badly hurt. He was
mounted on six fiery steeds at once,
but he did not have them well trained,
and the outside horses, to wit, "Repub-
lican and Non-partisan, flew the track
and caused him to get a tremendous
fall. 1t takes a trained clown and one
born and bred TO the business to ride
six horses at once.

Dixon ACADENY.-This fiourishing
school, under the control of Prof. j.
Z. Haynes, Principal, and Miss Mamie
Powell, Assistant, will begin its second
annual session on the 2Sth day of Au-
gust, 1876. The Principal and Assist
ant are both thoroughly qualified for
their respective positions, and the ses-
sion will no doubt be a successful one.
One good thing we can say is that Dix.
on is one of the most moral towns in
kentucky, and children sent there to
school will have no bar-rooms, gamb.
ling dens and such influences to lead
them from the path of rectitude. We
wish the school abundant success, as il
richly deserves it.

LETTER NO. II.

"Trnth crushed to earth will rise again."
Reference has been made to my letter
entitled No. 1. Il has been said that it
was not explicit. 1t is my purpose to
make it clear to all. There are many
workingmen all over this Sound who
have paid me for the Company. their
hard earned money for lots in the Cen
tral Seattle Homestead. In the sale OF
those lots, represented them as in
structed by the Company; finding that
my friends as well as myself, have been
imposed on, it is duty that I owe 10
my fellow men, if l wrong them inten-
tionally or otherwise, to apologize. All
l have to say is that am sorry.
Had the Company drawn on but 4SO
lots, solid from the bay, east. it would
have satisfied the contract between you
and them; but when they drew on more
land, they invalldated the contract and
bocame liable to refund the money re-
ceived, with damages, and my advice to
you is to send in your bonds and re-
celpts at once to some responsible party
and demand payment thereon, which l
feel that you will be paid in full.
Now, in conclusion, world give you
laboring men word of advice. Before
you enter into any more Homesteads, or
any other schemes, called enterprises,
placed before you, that you enquire
closely into their merits. for you are
the parties who pay the expenses of
those who do not work; theirs and yours
are liable to keep you poor. You will
hear from me again when occasion re-
quires it.
Yours, respectfully,
NJ RICE

The ELIMINATION. Another
large and appreciative audience
assembled last night at Yesler's
Hall to see the Lewis Bros
Many new and startling features
were introduced and won hearty
and repeated encores.
This entertainment will reappear
on Saturday night in new rou-
tine Of performances, and for
the first time in this section, the
wonderful spiritual seance by
Mile. Cecil DeCourcey will be
presented in the most brilliant
light and in full view of all. In
speaking of this act, a California
exchange says: "The commit
tee appointed by the audience
stepped on the stage and tied
her hands securely with a num-
Der of small cords, afterwards
sewing the knots with thread
and sealing the same with wax,
and then firmly fastened her
hands with staple driven in a
post set in the centre of the
stage. A coat was then borrow
ed from the audienced and placed
on chair out of her reach. And
in an incredibly short space Of
time the coat appeared on her
person, which the committee ex-
amined. Afterwards the coat
was removed and on examining
the knots and fastenings her
hands were found as securely
tied as at the beginning; ETC."
Let all attend and witness Prof.
Lewis i'll new juggling acts and
the great rope tying feat and al
so enjoy a hearty laugh at a host
of amusing performances, en-
bracing the Skidmore Guards.

THE LEcTURE.-Dr. Lindsey,
the scientist Of Portland, lectur-
ed last evening to an intelligent
and appreciative audience. His
idea of matter, force and evolu-
ton met with general applause.
He, in many instances, endorsed
the opinions of Darwin, Herbert
Spencer, and Agazis, but pro-
duced arguments we have never
heard before. He is certainly a
cool and deliberate speaker and
carries his subject with him, well
linked. By a motion made by
DR.. Calhoun and seconded by
Col. Larrabee, a vote of thanks
was rendered DR.. Linrlsley.

LEWIS Bros. TONIGHT. ALI
who miss visiting this entertain
ment will regret it, as it is sell
dom we are visited by an eXhi-
bition worthy of being termed
first-class, and so far, this troupe
have established a reputation
second to none that has ever
visited Washington Territory.
The programme presents Won
derful feats in magnetism, in
which Mr.. Lewis stands without
a rival, and as performed by
him in New York, Philadelphia,
and the principal Eastern cities,
startling acts, pleasing trans
formations and jugglery, inter
spersed with musical renditions
and vocalizations.

LEWIS Bros. - If crowded
houses are a criterion to go by,
we can say the Lewis Bros per-
tormances are a grand success,
and in their way are far in ad-
vance of amusements heretofore
presented to our people. The
wonderful feats in magnetism
are the exciting topic Of conver-
sation on the streets to-day, and
are the source OF many a com
ment pro and con. Tonight, the
Professor promises a programme
superior to the previous nights,
with new music, tableaux, trans
formations, vocalizations, etc.
Don't fail to witness this Won
derful exhibition this evening.

| oTEAMBoATING ON THE ONO FoRIY
YEARS AGO. In 1886, 1 was on fhe

river, ron down about twenty miles to

he with all the passengers.
How Capt: Shallcross raised the river:
There were several stock men in the
city going South with horses, mules, et".
The river was low and several smaller
boats in port. They preferred the
Chandler, but were afraid she world get
aground, as there were no telegraphs in
those days, and they had to depend
upon the winds and veather.- The Cap
tain thought there would be rise late
in the evening. He got stick, marked
it, and drove it down in the water. and
one of the stock men laid rock at the
edge of the water, and waited for the
result. In the morning the Captain was
out early, and found that the river had
fallen, but he drove the stick down five
or six inches, and put the rock under
the water, got the stock, and went out
of the river without grounding Louis
