'NOOtsaClG Valley

We have gathered the following items
relating to this valley from Ii. NJ. Good
ell, resident Of that section of country,
apparently well acquainted with its re-
sources. Like the other rivers on the
eastern shore of the Sound basin, this
river rises in the Cascade Mountains,
draining the country from the mountains
TO the sea.
Skagt River drains the south part of
Whatcom County, and the Nootsack the
north. The mouth of the Nootsack is
about five miles north of Whatcom, the
county seat, The valley settlement will
hold q similar relation TO the towns on
Bellingham Bay, that the White River
settlement does to Seattle. If it were
not for the Jams, the river would be nav
igablc for steamers to the town Of Lin
den, some % miles from its mouth.
Above Linden the channel is crooked,
narrow and full of islands; while the
river is divided into several branches
and is not .navigable. The Linden settle
mcnt contains some ten families, and fifty
settlers. sCanoes pass from the Bay to
Linden, passing through slough around
the lower Jam. There is passage open
through the upper Jam sufficient tor ca
noes.
From Linden north to British Colum.
bia, and west to Scmiahmoo Bay, nearly
the whole country consists of one vast
tract of nearly level fertile soil, with few
big trees, and little underbrush wet in
winter, but very easy to clear probably
it will be dry enough for all agricultural
purposes, upon cutting some of the bea-
yer dams, and clearing off the timber

FLOODING A MTNE.--On Saturday last,
large vein of water suddenly gushcd
out in the Talbot coal mine, with such
force and volume as to Immediately
cause a suspension of work and speedy
evacuation OF the mine. The water rose
seven feet in few minutes, and was soon
after twenty-five, and last night had fill
"a up the entire mine so that the water
poured out of the mouth of the tunnel
this morning. There is little pump
there, but It is entirely inadequate in
case Of serious disaster of this kind. A
meeting of the directors has been called,
at which to decide upon what steps to
take. BY getting apoweriul steam pump
Mt it, with sufficient pipe tor the purpose,
il il thought the water can easily be ex'
hausted, and the more so as it is probab'
ly surface water The company have
hardly coal enough for the loading Of the
Albert, and in case of there being an in.
suiTcicncy they will probably get the
few tons lacking from one Of the other

Fatal ACCIDENT AT HOLMES HAIR.
BoR Christian Zimmerman, of Holmes

last. lie informs us that fatal accident
took place there on Tuesday, June 1st.
The accident happening rs follows :
George Foot, hand logger at that place,
being greatly annoyed by a lot of Siwash
dogs, rushed into his camp to get his gun,
and seized it in haste by the barrel. In
attempting to pull it from behind his
trunk where it was placed, the cock WAS
caught on the trunk, and was pulled
back sufficiently to discharge the gun !;
the contents beng lodged in his abdo.

he died at about . O'Clock p. NJ. DR..
Hill, of COupcvillc. was sent for, who ar
rived after death had taken place. No
inquest was held. He was buried by
his friends, near the camp

The Pacific Tribune copied this article
in this form, crediting it. to the Echo,
and we presume others have done like
wise. Mistake and all.
We should not have noticed this mat
ter, were it not that We probably spend
more time and money in cole, ting infor-
nation in regard to the country, and in
writing up original matter than any
other Sound Journal. We try very hard
to write accurately, our articles are
widely copied, portion duly credited,
many more altered about like this one,
not credited.
Now we do not believe these two pa.
pcrs had any wish to appropriate or
credit any thing wrongly. They have
quoted much, and generally credited
everything they took from the STAR, but
we think Others have in some instances
failed in giving to us credit justly due
in such matters, and We only refer to
this matter for the purpose OF requesting
all who appropriate such matter to them
selves, to be careful to condense so that
it shall become something like their own
composition, and be sufficiently accurate,
so that nearly all condensatious made
shall not consist in biunders, as we have
so frequently observed in the rehash of
our articles relating to the geographical
features of the country.

Sunstroke and Its Reme edy.

The result of exposure to great heat,
whether it be that arising from the
direct rays of the sun or from any
heated atmosphere, are of two kinds.
In the first and less serious form the
patient may be either gradually over
come by the heat, or may be suddenly
prostrated and fall to the ground, but
retains consciousness. In either of
these cases he should be taken to
some shady place and iced drinks
freely administered. The other case
is what is properly termed sunstrokc-
1t comes on suddenly, with but slight
premonitions of attack. Unconscious.
ness ensues, accompanied by a heavy
snoring respiration, excessive restless
ness, and convulsions. While in the
first case the skin of the patient is cool
and the body covered with profuse
sweat, in the latter and more serious
case of sunstrcke the skin is burning
hot and dry, and the temperature Of
the body very often rises as high as
LOG degrees. AS in the former case,
Ice should be applied, but even more
freely. Not only should iced drinks
be administered, but the patient should
be stripped and robbed from head to
foot with large pieces of ice, or if ice
is not available, cold water may be
used. This would seem to be the ma
tural remedy, and the wonder is that
it has not previously been more used
by physicians.

THE WAR IN THE REPUBLICAN HANKS
THE COMMERCIAL" OTHER Dis
oRGAHIzERs TO BE READ OUT OF THE
PARTY.
AT a meeting of the Republican
County Executive Conmittee, Satur.
day afternoon, a communication was
read from J. FL. Hoffecker, Jr., the re-
Gently appointed U. s. District Attor~
ney Vice Anthoney Higgins, ,removed)
stating that if his appointment was lot
entirely satisfactory to the committee
and the party he would withdrawn his
name before the appointment was &C
ted upon by the Senate.
The Communication was referred to
Committee of three, who (the whole
affair being cut and dried immediate
ly reported the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted:
.Resoired. That we approve of the appoint
ment of James Ii. Hoffecker. Jr, ESQ, to be
the District Attorney for Delaware as one in
ware, and especially as the first step towards
Producing armony through the dsplace nent
OF disorganizers. and urge the United States
Scna to confirm sail appointment; and we
hereby express our confidence In the integr
Y, ability and high personal charac ler of Mr..
Heffecker, who is u lawyer. and gentleman
above reproach and uspicion.
Resofued. That copy Of the foregoing re-
solution be transmitted to the proper COM
mittee of the Senate, and also to the Ptiladek-
phid Times and New York tribune, papers in
which untruthful articles have appeared
which it is our DESIRE by the action, to refute.
| and also that copy be sent to James III.
Hoffecker, Jr., Esq.
This direct slap at the "disorgani-
zers is supplemented by an editional
in Saturdays Republican, in which the
: on,mercsaI is threatened with the
dire calamity of being "read out of
the party" 1t says:
1t was an evil day for the Republican party
in Delaware, when the fist number of the
| Commerciat appeared. 1t has sowed the seeds
OF dls cord, it has advocated independent ac-
| tion In municipal affairs, it has assailed the
most earnest and active Republicans, and, as
a consequence dissension and defeat have fol-
lowed. 1t did more for the Democrats than
| they could do for themselves and it seems
determined to persevere in its disorganizing
course. 1t does not learn wisdom by defeat.
| and It is too egotlst cal and self-opini onated
| to heed the admonitions and We rnings advan
| ced from time to time in the columns of the
Republican, Indeed it seems determined
| to rule and ruin. Its youthfulness cannot
longer palate its defectionsa and we now warn
| it to beware. Should it not cease its abuse
and vili6cation it will be eventually read out
of the party, as its covert tnrusts are regarded
as more hurtful than the as saults of IN open
| enemy.

First European George Washing ION
[Trom the Irish World


The first child in Europe that was
named after George Washington was
an Irish boy. In the Londonderry
Qreland) journal, under date of April
80, 1878, is the following curious ad-
vertisement:
Whereas, on February IS, 1878, it
pleased kind Providence to confer on
Matthew Nicely, of Burnally, parish
Of Tamlaghtfinlagan and county of
Londonderry, a man child, whose ap-
pearance is promising and amiable,
and hopes the Being who first caused
him to exist will grant him grace.
Also in consideration and remem-
brance of the many heroic deeds done
by that universally renowned patriot,
General Washington, the said Mat
thew Nicely has done himself the
honor of calling the said man child
by the name of George Washington
Nicely, he being the first child so
named or so called in this kingdom by
the name of Washington, that bril-
liant west star"
When we recollect that a definite
treaty of peace acknowledging the in
dependence of the colonies was not
signed by England until September 3,
1888, we may safely conclude that
Matthew Neely was not A very ardent
admirer of King George the Third.

The Great German Reforhuer,
New York World,

New York World.
Mr.. Carl Schurz, according to a
newspaper report not yet contradicted
was made aware in advance of the
character of Mr.. Hayes letter of ac-
ceptance, and pronounced 1t satisfac-
tory. We congratulate MIR. Schurz on
the position in which he finds himself
MI. Hayes approves President Grants
administration, and especially the re-
solutions which. in effect mean con-
tinuance of dragoonings at the South
and revival of sectional hatred at the
South. Inasmuch as Mr.. Schurzln his
day fired a good many rounds of blank
cartridges at the administration and
the carpet baggers for trampling on
and robbing the southern states, we
are curious to see how he is going to
wear his collar without CALLING his
neck. When, however, we reflect that
Mr.. Schurz lived in six states in seven.
teen months, a Japhet in search of a
senatorship, and took seat in the
Senate from the radical gang in Mis-
souri,, iniquitous legislation and dis
franchised a majority of the voters,
when he had been resident of the
state but ninety days, we cannot be
surprised if he has fellow feeling for
carpet oaggers.
