Recent reports from these now famed
diggings are more encouraging than ever
Not man among the thousands who
have been in the mines but who say there
is plenty of gold there. The only and
great trouble in the way of profitable
working at present IS the deep snow
which seems slow to melt. Last year at
this time the snow had entirely disap-
peared from Ruby creek, and in and
around GoodelPs and the Portage, no
snow remained later than the 10th of
April. Many who have claims there
based their calculations on the certainty
of clear field from snow at the same
time this yea-, but so lar Lave been dis.
appointed. The season is the most back
ward of any known for many years and
probably three times as much Snow fell
during the past winter than in any siugle
year for the past twenty years, and at
this writing there yet remains, in n.ant

DRowED IN THE SKAGIT On Mon
day last canoe capsized near the Port
age, on the Skagit, and six miners were
drowned. Six Others, including an In
dian, who were in the canoe at the time,
escaped with their lives. The accident
is attributable to the overlooking of the
canoe, which contained. besides the 12
men in GU. stion. 700 pounds of freight.

places along the digsings, from three to
five feet of snow. This will delay gen.
eral operations for several weeks, and
probably no extensive mining will he
done before the middle of next month.
In quite number Of places, however mi
ners will be able to werk their hill claims,
there being already several at work, whs,
it is reported, are doing well. Should
the claims along the beds of the streams
turn out proper:ionately good there will
be sucl, an out pouring of gold from the
Skagit this fall as will astOnisn the world.
If half OF what has been told Of these
new discoveries, by returning miners, be
true, their wealth is simply fabulous
They tell of 10, 90, o5, 35 and 45 cents
to the pan in top gravel. This will eclipse
any of the old placers of California, and
it time proves the prospects not exasge>

SaSa ar Beet.

Mr.. E. Meeker publishes the following
suggestions and information in regard to
the culture of sugar beet
1st. To insure satisfactory results it is
all important that the s"i! be plowed deep
and thoroughly pulverized before the
seed is planted.
I'd. The season should be far enough
advanced to insure the prompt germina-
ton of the seed and the rapid growth of
the young plants. Hence the necessity
of making haste slowly, lest the plants
he so slow growth that the weeds take
possession of the soil before cultivation
is possible.
Sd. All that portion of the beets grown
above ground is worthless for sugar pros
ductiOn and nearly so for stock feeding :;
hence the soil must be powed deep to
give room for crop to grow under the
ground.
4th. Best results are obtained for yield
and sugar producing qualities combined,
by planting the rows not to exceed six
teen inches apart, and allowing the plants
to stand nine Inches apart in the row; if
the beets average three pounds-the size
most desirable-the yield will then be
over sixty tons per acre.
5h. The committee have procured ten
bushels OF seed, just imported from the
sugar producing regions of Germany, of
three standard varieties, which will be
sold at cost to those intending to com
pete tor the premiums Offered.
9th. Ten pounds of seed, or thereabout,
is thought to be the most desirable
amount to plant to the acre. If the plants
are too thick, they can be thlnned; but
if good stand is rot obtained, it is diff
ficut to replace the plants. The trans
planted plants never do as we'll as the
original stand.
9TH. There will be three premiums
paid-of about one hundred dollars
each-governed substantially as follows
One for the largest yield without ref
erence to quality.
One for the best results for sugar pro-
duction.
One for the greatest economy of pro-
duction.
9th. All samples will be tested free of
charge to the growers and the results
published.
Persons raising less than an acre can
not compete for any of the premiums,
but samples of their beets will be tested
free of charge, and the results published.

WEEKLY LEDGER-Atter the issue of
the second number we have been served
with copy of the new Tacoma paper.
which is a handsome sheet, conducted
with marked ability, and exhibits enters
prise far IN advance OF its base of sup-
plies. In discussing matters pertaining
to this section and the future relations of
the same, the editor has much vet to
learn. He says: 1t is said that when
Mr. Shattuck took charge of the Seattle
mine, about six years ago, that place had
only 600 inhabitants 1t is now city
claiming 5000 population" From these
premises it is argued that the opening OF
the Ca1 bon mines will have like effect
upon New Tacoma. The truth is, that
six years ago Seattle had population Of
a. least 800 and now has not less than
1900, exclusive of the 500 or 600 at the
coal mines, and of the residents of Seat
tie, certainly not twenty derive their
support from the coal mines. New Ta>
coma has had a rail- oad to the col mines
for two years and more and its popula~
tion to day cannot exceed 400. It takes
something besides railroads and coal
mines to make a commercial centre.
PARISH SCHOOL, The members of
Trinity Paricl have perfected an organi-
zation preliminary to establishing and

Mr. Brooks, Mrs Baxter and Mrs. Hyde.
For term of one year-Messrs Burnett,

twelve being parents of young children.
MINING CLAIMs-Mr. L. Beach sold
one half of his mining claims on Ruby
creek to Messrs Larrahee, White and
Haines Brothers, for $1,000, and started
back to the mines intending to prospect
for gold bearing quartz, which he be

TIE RAILRoAD.- This city has been in
a great state of excitement for two weeks
past on account of reports and counter
reports regarding negotiations tor the
sale and immediate building of the Seat
tie and Walla Walla Railroad. We do
not know, and have not sought to know
any thing of the condition of the negn~
.iatlons; but this We do know, that the
consummation for which we have watcl,>
ed and waited, and possessed our souls
in patience for these many years, cannot
be delayed much longer Seattle has
heretofore been the Cinderella of her
more powerful sisters, but the time has
nearly come wheniher superior attractions
can no longer lie hidden from the view
OF capital and enterprise, now paying
court to Portland only because they have
no knowledge of Seattle. Let them build
their roads TO Portland, anil worry their
way from thence to the ocean over river
shoals and the formidable Columbia bar,
they will then have to fall back upon
Puget Sound as base ol supplies for
fuel and lumber which the Columbia riv
er route cannot furnish, and which will
soon be exhausted in that section
which they depend upon for treights.- =
The question will soon be which of the
rival companies will first possess the key
to the situation.

james Douglass Williams, Governor Of
Indiana, and almost universally known
throughout the United States as"Blue Jeans
Williams" died on Saturday morning, at
indianapolis, after short illness. lie was
born in Piqua county, Ohio, January 49,
1908, one Of his parents being of Scotch-lrish
and the other Of Welsh English stock. When
he was ten years old his father removed tc
Knox county, Indiana, where the Governor
has resided ever since. Governor Williams
opportunities for education were limited to
few winter sessions at the country school
His father died in 1928, leaving to his fami-
ly Of six children little else than his farm
James remained at home until his marriage
in 1881, to the daughter of neighborinl
farmer, when he purchased a quarter section
Of wild land erected q log cabin and began
the task of making home in the wilderness
This farm was enlarged from time TO time
until it included 1000 acres. Governor
Williams made his first appearance in pub
lie life in 1899, when he berame justice o
the peace. He was sent to the State Legis.
most constantly in public lie. lie repre-
sented his district in the State Board Of Ag
riculture for sixteen years, filing the Office
Of president for four years, and served sever
years in the State House of Representatives
aud twelve years in the Senate. In 1917
he was delegate to the Baltimore Conven
didate for United States Senator agaius
Oliver p Morton. In 1874 he was elected
70 the LIYth Congress from the Second In
diana District as Democrat, receiving {
majority of nearly 5000. He served from
December G, lS7j,to December /, 1876, whel
he resigned, having been elected Goyerno
oi Indiana, Tor the term ending next Janu
airy. Governor Williams was chairman o
the House Committee on Accounts while il
Congress. His tall figure was always clat
in al old fashioned SUIT of blue jeans, an,
and when he took the oath of office as Gov
ernnr he wore a suit of the same material
which had been presented to him by severa
Kentucky ladies. Tho only speech he eve
made in Congress that attracted attention
was the brief one in which he thus referred
to his dress: 81 am not ashamed of my oil,
fashioned Kentucky jeans. The people q
Indiana are not ashamed of me because
wear it, and | am sure the country woul,
be tpe better for it if we could get back t
the simple habits of our fathers in the mat
ter of dress as well as some otiS NLings."

The announced intentions Of the President
have nothing to do with it. The General
does not, in the event that he carries his
expressed purpose into effect, intend to ask
to be retired until next April, when Prcs-
dent Hayes will be merely Mr.. Hayes, and
when the present authoritative voice Of tho
War Department will be that Of an humble
citizen. General Sherman has the right,
having served in the army thirty years, to
ask TO bo retired, and II is understood that
he prefers life in st. Louis with his grand
children and q retired officers pay, To the
mere honor Of being n subordinate to the
next Secretary OF War in Washington, which
no will be under the regulations of the
army to be approved by the President in a
| few days. In the event of his retirement
General Sheridan will be called to Wash
ington and General Hancock assigned to
command at Chicago, unless he prefers to
remain where he is, in which case Gen.
schofeld would likely succeed General
Sheridan.
Colonel r. NJ. Scott, in charge ofthe publi-
cation Of the Official records of the war Of
the rebellion, reports that the work has
steadily progressed during the past year.
Important additions have been made by
voluntary contributions to the records, both
Union and Confederate, among the contri-
buttons being valuable papers from Mr..
Davis, Generals Beauregaro, Chalmers, D.
II. Hill, B. r. johnson, S. D. Lee, E. Kirby
Smith, Steele and A. z. Stewart, and from
the representatives Of Generals Branch
Breckenridge, D. II. Cooper and Ewell. The
first two volumes of the records were sent
to the public printer on the oath of August
last, and other volumes will follow until the
present appropriation is exhausted. 1t is
expected that the first two volumes will be
published by the time of the reossembling
of Congress. It is estimated that the entire
publication, which it is proposed to divide
into four series, will require ninety-six vol
umes. DON Pedro.
