An American now in Siberia writes a.
follows concerning the loss Of the jean
nette:'
Since the first fall when they were
caught BY the ice in trying to reach
Herald Island they have never taken
course, but were held as in the jaws OF
desth, squeezed till every timber quivered
and turned this way aad that, thrown
floating and then caught again, and every
hour in suspense, never knowing when
the ice would close upon them little
more and the decks sink beneath them.
Throughout this strain they were well
and trying to be cheerful, working very
hard for the engine, and the men We're
hardly able to keep the water out. They
had to pump for year and bali. On
June IL, 1881, the crisis came. The ship
showed greater straining than before, the
deck auivered and ine1plicable move
ments warned them. They prepared
their boats and made their camp beside
the vessel. She rose and turned in her
cradle till tn. yards touched the ice, then
the rigging gave way and the masts lay
PROSTATE. At 4 O'Clock in the morning
the foe parted and all went down. A cry
of alarm called all to escape from the ere
vice in the ice For 90 days they strug-
pled southwark and $40 miles Of broken
ice was thus passed over. Four miles a
day was thought good fortune. After
one series Of fourteen days they were q
miles further north than at FIRST. While
working over the ice, dragging the three
boats, they discovered Bennett Island, to
explore which they spent three weeks OF
their precious summer days and expended
much of their limitedsupply of food. To
this detour those who survived attribute
much of their suffering and the death Of
the commander and 10 men. After three
months of their perilous and exhausting
work they came to blue water, and then
with fair winds took a course for the
mouth of Lena river. Melvilla's boat
was stove against a block of ice, and the
captains boat lost her mast and sail The
captain landed with all well, but aban-
doned the boat, as the water was shallow
and it would not make the channel of the
river

Not a Partisan Question.

The following from valuable exchange
is the most sensible thing We have yet
seen on the Chinese question ave are
frequently assured that the Chinese ques-
ton does not belong to politics. Repub-
licans point to the efficient work Of their
Senators and Representatives in Congress
from this coast, and Democrats to the al
most solid vote which their party gave to
the defeated bill. But while each party
admits that the other is sound as far as
local opinion is concerned, both want to
make all the political capital out Of the
situation they can. Thi, is natural, but,
If carried too far, it will work more harm
than good. Just at present the Repubh-
cans are anxious to have this question
taken srt of politics. Their President
has proved false to the platform Oh which
he was elected, and their leading Sena-
tors from the Eastern States have shown
a discouraging disregard for the same
document. They are anxious to take
the question out of politics. This can be
done by joining heartily in the home
movement to discourage the employment
Of the Chinese. There is no politics III
that movement As for the democrats,
they are pleased with the record their
party has made If there is no mere
anti Chinese legislation, they will stand
as the protectors of American free labor.
The Chinese question has done them good
service politically; they can afford 10 Join
heartily in the home movement to sc; rid
of the Chinese. There is ore platform. at
least, on which ali parties can stand, and
that has this broad and comprehensive
plank-non-employment Of Chinese labor.

THE lumber and logging business OF
Puget Sound is very active. Logs have
advanced from s.. 80 to 81 per thousand
and are scsrce at these prices, some of +he
mills being Obliged 70 shut down for want
of them Hansen & Co.'S mill, at Taco
ma, is better of in the respect than any
other on the Sound, having supply OF
some months on hand. Lumber is so
much in demand for immediate use at
Tacoma that numerous orders viii be sent
to Port Blakely to be filled. There are
about 50, 900 feet of logs in Skagit river,
but they cannot be brought out until the
river rises, couple uf months hence.

IT is Washington opinion that the
Presidents veto of the Chinese immIgra-
ton suspension bill has raised him Won

cians," because it shows that he possesses
some of the quality which rendered Ty-
ler, Fillmore and johnson notable, that

tion of his veto message which shows us
what is the Pr, sidential idea of the right

relation to the Chinese empire has been

that the offer of free transportation had
failed to secure any freight Again To-
day the steamship people renewed their
appeal. offering as additional imducement
a premium of several cents per hundred
pound to the shipper. The railway agents
replied that even the offer Of premium
had failed to start movement. The
steamship companies said that they must
have ballast for vessels hulletined for

DoN'T live a single hour of life without
doing exactly what is to be done in it,
and going straight through it from begin
ing to end. Work, play, study, whatever
it is-take bold at once and finish it up
sauarely and cleanly; then do the next
thing, without letting any moments drop
between 1t is wonderful to see how
many those prompt people contrive to
make in day it is as if they picked up
the moments that the dawdIers lost.
And if you find yourself where you have
so many things pressing you that you
hardly know how TO begin, let ME tell you
a secret take hold of the first one that
comes TO hand and you will find the rest
will all fall into file, and follow after,
like a company OF wel-drilled soldiers :;
and though work may be hard to meet
when it charges in squad, it is easily
vanquished if you can bring it into line.
You may have often seen the anecdote of
the man who was asked how he "accomp-
lished so much of life" "My father told
me, was the reply, ''whsn l had any
thing to do, TO 90 and do il" There is
the secret-the magic cword-ncw.-Aacn

THE artesian well sunk by the Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul railway at Aber-
deer, Breton county, Dakota, has proved
successful beyond all anticipations. The
flow began a. depth of 900 feet, and
steadily increased until at the present
depth of $40 feet, the volume from a
inch pipe has increased to over 800 gal
Ions Per minute. The pressure at the
surface as tested by a standard steam
gague is l223 pounds, and the velocity
sufficient to throw stream go feet high.
The volume and pressure are steadily in
creasing. Aberdeen can already boast of
the possession of the greatest artesian
well in the world, a fact which viii add

Our New Towns.
Spr,xus in the Lead and Nusic Ia the
Air.

Of aIl the towns which have sprung up
along the line Of the Northern Pacific
railroad there Is none that has started
with brighter prospects and a more gior'-
Gus future before il than the town OF
Sprague. Ii is the first place on the line
of any importance after Walla Walia Is
left behind, and owes Its advantages as
much 10 it's own natural resources as 70
the TACT that the headquarters Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad and its machine
SHOES are already located there. The
shops even now employ nearly 80 men,
and this number is likely to be largely in
creased, as no less than IA more stalls for

ITS PERMANENCY.
This alone is sufficient TO give town a
permanency, but when We consider the
other advantages, the desirabilIty OF an
| early location by those who wish to grow
I'D with the country, will become mani
fest. In the FIRST place, while Sprague
itself is not situated directly on agricul
| tural land, the country surrounding II Is
eminently adapted to every variety of ag-

to this town, and even up to the British
Inc the good land extends, and of this we
are informed that nine-tenths can be cul-
tivated. Wood and water are plentiful.
| Wheat and other grain yields as well as
anywhere, and the climate is similar to
that Of Northern Missouri On the south
there is large and fertile country, COM
paratively unsettled, called Pleasant val
ley or Rock creek, % miles long and GO
wide, adjacent to the celebrated bunch
grass and grain land Of the Palouse coun-
try. All the fruits adapted to 4 northern
climate, thrive and yield well. All this
country IS directly tributary TO Sprague,
and will eventually make of il
YOUNG CHICAGO,
and the energy and enterprise Of the
business men of the place will leave no
stone unturned to make it the principal
business point OF the whole country north
of Snake river.
The only drawback at present TO the

having been so extensive for building pur-
poses that the mills cannot supply the de.
