The whale recently caught in Ba-
ker's bay, is IS feet long, 10 feet in cir
cumference around the body, has two
fins just back Of the gills, two on back,
and two legs about six feet from tail,
abont four feet long. The mouth is
about four feet wide when open to its
full capacity. There are four layers of
skin over the giils, each nicely over
tapping the other. This fish is found
mostly near the South sea islands and
how this one should have found ITS
way in these waters is a mystery and
probably will remain unsolved. II

at Astoria, and has been visited by
hundreds OF people during the last few

are noted for their heavy production
of wheat, oats and barley. The Skagit |
rises i'm the Cascade range and empties
by several mouths into Port Suzan:
| The Skagit valley is an extensive and
rich agricultural section, and cOnsid-
cradle mining is carried on at its rp-
per waters. The Stilaguamish also
empties into Port Susan. The timber
on its banks is very valuable. Coal is
found 20 miles from its mouth. The
channel with the drifts removed would
be navigable for % miles. The Sno-
homish empties opposite the south
end of WILDLY Isltr5f.s Eighteen
miles from its mouth it divides into
the Skykomish and Snoqualme. Tide
flats permeated by several channels,
stretch across its mouth, back of which
are extensive cranberry marshes. The

In this issue of the paper we pre-
sent two tickets to be voted upon at
the town election on next Tuesday.
Our citizens should study the matter
we'll and vote for those men who are
best fitted and qualified to conduct
the affairs of our town. No voter is
obliged to vote either ticket straight,
as it is not question of partisanship,
but question of having the very
best men to control our city govern
ment; so,therefore, voter, it behooves
you to study we'll the ability of the
men you cast your vote for, and do not
regret during the year of having sup
ported the ones that you did. The
PILOT presents both tickets fairly and
squarly, trusting that every man is his
own free agent, and that on election
day you 60 to the polls and vote with
out any prejudice, but for the best

CITIZENS TICKET


The above is the citizens ticket as
nominated at the convention on last
Saturday night, with two exceptions.
The names of all these gentlemen are
too we'll known to all Of our citizens
to need any comment, but for fear
that there are few voters that do not
know them, we will make brief men
ton Of all, showing who they
are and what their business is:
; DR.. T. ]. Forhan, whom we noticed
in last issue, is known to everybody in
town as a practicing physician, and
settled in our midst early last spring.
c. M. Kirkpatrick, who has con
sented to be candidate on the ticket
in the place Of c. S. Brann, resigned,
is a partner of ] c. Brown in the
mercantile business, having superseded
Mr.. Slosson. If there are any voters
that are not acquainted with him they
can see him at the above house, where
he is now on exhibition. Kirk is a
good fellow and so far as we know tries
to do what is right to all men.
T. A. Collins, who is the senior in
the firm of Collins & Dougherty, sa-
loon keepers, is an enterprising fellow,
and is always willing to assist in any
thing to promote the interests Of our
town. He owns real estate here and
is the only member of the ole board
that is in the field for reelection.
Isaac Baney is the baker, and a
good, worthy citizen, who if elected
trustee we have no doubt will do all he
can for the best interest of our town.
w. B. Kent is miner, and perhaps
is the least known to our citizens of
any of the candidates, for the simple
reason that he is busily working in his
mines, Of which we believe he owns
some very valuable ones. We believe
if he is elected to the office he
will fill it with honor to himself and
credit to the town, as he looks like a
man with sterling will and good sense.
]. McF. Dunn, who has been pre-
vailed upon to accept the place made
vacant by the resignation of John T.
Mcdonald, is the senior of the law
firm of Dunn & Maloney, and is known
to all of you. ~
The above is brief sketch of the
gentlemen composing the citizens
ticket. We have tried to make it plain
and unbiased as possible.

Editors Pilot:
From last weeks issue of the PI1oT
the undersigned, residing along a GER
tain stream, were surprised to learn
that owing to the habit of our health
officer in using said stream for sewer
they were obliged to obtain the water
necessary for their use at great dis
tance. Although using the water ever
since the early part OF last summer, this
is the first intimation we have had OF
its impurity, andwe are Of the opinion
that the article signed "Suferer"
was written by one who was suffering
more from his own i'll nature and
malice than from any impurity in the
aforesaid stream. We wish to state
further, that we have no desire to
write to Chicago paper that we have
the only prospect or mining claim in
Ruby mining district, that is worth
anything; neither did we come to
Colorado for our health. Notwith-
standing all this, when the good name
of our esteemed neighbor is, what we
believe to be, falsely and maliciously
aSsailed, We believe it a duty to state
what We know to be the facts of the
case. c. S. Brann,

TURN WREINS.


Last Sunday afternoon, at CLOCK,
quite a number Of our citizens met at
the restaurant of Tenniges 4 Pencil
for the purpose Of organizing Turn
ers society. The main object of the
society is the promotion of fellowship
and amusement, but the constitution,
which is the same all over the world,
makes it mutual aid and bcnefolnt SC.
ciety. The order is obliged to help a
member who is sick and in distress,
and also to assist him, if necessary, in
other ways.
The name originates from the fact
that the SOC iety was gymnastic club,
and the constitution still requires that
every member, under 80 years of age,
shall participate in the gymnastic ex-
ercises at least once a month. His
srionic displays, concerts and balls
form also features in the list Of amuse.
ments.
There is scarcely Turner society
of any age in this country, but has a
hall Of its own fitted up with stage
for theatrical performances in connec-
tion with its concert and dancing hall.
Many of their buildings are very cost
ly, erected after the most elegant
architectural designs and fitted up in
style approaching perfection. Some
have extensive Libraries embracing
rare and costly books. AT the meet
ing on Sunday 2S names were signed
to the rolls as charter members.
c. S. Brann was chosen first speaker,
and Jacob Pressler second speaker,
which offices correspond 10 those Of
president and president in other
societies; Joe Selig, secretary =; Louis
TGnniges, treasurer; Lester Gilpatric,
head turner; Messrs. Bruist, Graves,
Reker and Phillips, trustees. After
the election was finished the secretary
was seated, the pro TEN president,
Charley Brann, having been chosen
permanent speaker. The speaker then
appointed Messrs. Pressler, Bruist and
Graves committee to draft bylaws,
and upon motion authorized the Sec
retary to procure the necessary books
and stationery required, The month
ly dues at present have been fixed at 81,
which will be reduced when a large
membership justihes it.
TIE initiation fee was not deter
mined upon, but it will not be likely
to exceed S.. Any one can apply for
admission to the society, but unless he
speaks the German language can only
be passive member, as the books and
business is all transacted in German.
The society adjourned to meet at the
same place next Sunday at 4 p. m.
