Chehalis valley all summer. came up last
Friday. with view to locating.
W. l.. Steinweg went to Seattle Tues
day last, to see his sisterin law, whe is

ply couple was Mr.. Hogue, of Nooksack
Crossing, and Mrs. Hunter, of Whatcom.
They were married Thursday morning by
Justice Marston. and in the afternoon
went to their future home, Mr.. Hogue's
fine farm on the No0ksack.
TIE fine steamer Washington, which
we have been expecting, arrived last
night. She is very fast steamer, having
Outrun the Welcome. Fare hss been re-
duced to fifty cents. The Washington is
a commodious boat, and with good ma
tured and genial Captain Brownfield will
hold the majority Of the trade this way.
A large shipment Of mill was brought
mp or the Washington, such as the main
shaft, bull wheel, gearing and other small
appurtenauces; also large lot of lumber
for the mill and logging camp.
J. H, Nesselroad is putting up small
house on the hill, which he will soon oc>

ANOTHER Coon INDIAN. 49, About two

ANOTHER Coon INDIAN. About two
weeks ago, near Mt. Vernon. number 9t
indians engaged in row over some
trifling matter. when one oi them sud,
denly seized club and proceeded to adj
minister the grand kib0sh to the entire
tribe. During the melee one OF the abb
originals was permanently laid ont with
broken skull, ana The Others were more
or less injured. Bad whisky was doubt
less the cause OF the affair. This kind OF
business is getting quite common in that
section, not less than Tour or live Indians
having been killed on the river Ivy their
slusky relatives this summer, and in every
instance whisky was the cause. 1t is a
very common occurrence, indeed, for per
sons visiting that sccti IN to see patty
at Indians assembled together, all beastly
intoxicated, and making night hideous
with their diabolical yells and drunken
orgies.

NooKsACK STEAMER ID. Rogers, the
enterprlslng merchant at Ferndale, has re"
Gently purchased the stern wheel steamer
Gazelle, formerly running Oh the Column
lila river. She will be brought around to
the Sound Immediately and placed upon
the Nooksack river, with headquarters
at Ferndale. The Gazelle is about the
size of the Snohomish steamer Nellie.
She is doubtless intended to ply between
Ferndale and some deep water landing,
probably Anacortes, where she can make
connection with boats for Seattle, Port
Townsend, Victoria and way ports. This
will he highly appreciated 10y the numer-
Gus settlers on the Nooksack, as 1t will
furnish them with permanent and regular
means OF sending their produce to mar
ket besides adding considerably to the
yalue OF their farms. When the jam in
the river is removed the steamer can
ascend the river for distance OF about
thirty miles from the mouth. We are in
formed that the canal which was partly
dug across the berd in the river will be
completed in short time. About $500
was subscribed toward paying for the
same. but only portion of that amount
having been paid, the contractor stopped
work on the same. AS the balance has
already or is about to lie paid. the chances
for the completion OF the canal are now
pry good.

accuracy.

Every boy and girl should determine
to be accurate. In studying lessons be
sure to get the exact meaning; in talk
ing, state the truth of the thing; in
working do everything just right. I
have lately heard oy two boys who
worked in the same store. They were
named John and james. Their duties
were alike, and they were required to
morning. John was always there on
the minute, or a few minutes before the
time; James came the same number Of
minutes after. When John arranged
the goods in the window they were az
cllrately marked and priced; James for
got to put the number on or priced them
incorrectly.
These are only two Of the things
which marked tho distinction between
the two boys. But every day and week
they grew further apart, John doing the
work accurately, and therefore well;
James slightingall he conveniently could.
John was promoted for carefulness in
his duties. James was warned to alter
his manner and finally discharged. The
accurate boy grew to be wealthy, self
made man. Men liked to deal with him !;
they were sure Of being treated fairly.
James tried several positions, but lost
them ON account of his inaccuracy in
little details, and. though he gets through
the world somehow, he has not the hap
piness and success which with the same
opportunities John achieved.
There are many things that tend Il.
make noble character. Place accurae y
high in the list.-Sch0oi Journal.

THE Political CoNTEsr.--The melan,
choly days have come when candidates be-
gin their annual rounds, when papers are
full of politics, and praise or criticisms
of men, possibly filled with pure devo-
ton to principle, possibly with their
weather eye looking toward the county
printing after the election is over. We
confess there is something about politics
and political campaigns which is to US
distasteful. To the country editor politics
bring little profit and little honor. He is
expected to take up the cudgel for his
party, and after the fight is over is left to
dine on empty husks and sweetened wind.
This style of labor and recompense cause
him to pray earnestly for the time when
the campaign Is ended, and the time shall
come when there will he nothing more
startling to announce than that John
Smith has arrived in town; or that an
other bald headed infant has been ushered
into this world of gumboils and sorrow.

ELEGANT ENGRAvINGs.-Wc have this
week received tour handsome steel engra-
wings, publWhed by Stinson s. Co., POrt-

flower panels; all are fine works OF art,
and do credit to the publishers. The en-
cravings are very large-size, 30x40 each.
The plates were engraved in London by
we'll known English masters, and cost
some $4,000. These engravngs are of
the class that sell in Europe for three
guine.s apiece, which is over $15. To
engrave a single plate Of this size and
desc ption requires the lsbors of II most
skilliul artist from one to two years, and
often longer. These elegant engravings
are entitled, "Choosing the Wedding

BRIEF MENTION.

The Democratic Territorial Convention
will meet at Vancouver next Tuesday.
The sloop Top has been busy during
the week carrying hay from VIM. Whal-
ley's place to the Edens camp.
H. w. Smith, of the Nooksack, re
Gently purchased fue Jersey bull at Port
Discovery.
T. B. Mangan bought two fine beef
steers from Mcssrs. Graham and Deutsch,
tits week, which he shipped to Seattle.
John Elwood has taken his crew of fish,
ern,en back to Semiahmoo, as the run on
the Samish Is somewhat late this year.
The logging camps on the upper Sound
are now paying from $15 to SIT per ton
for hay, with prospects for still higher
figures.
Capt. Gilmore, Of the steamer Hope, ac-
eompanied by his wife, came down from
Seattle on Monday, on their way 10 the
Samish.
j. S. Kelly, en- the Swinomish, has fin
ished harvesting, and X. f.. Whitney, on
Padil!a Bay, will probably finish this
week.
j. A. Gilliland is about to erect skoos
KUN building on the hill near the Mary
land House, to be used as business or
fee. He has sold his present office to
Mrs. ]. J. Conner.
The Shannon place, about three miles
below here, is said to have been pur-
chased by the N. p. r: Co.; price, $4,000.
Capt. Hills place is also reported to have
changed hands some time ago.
1t is stated that the o. r. s. N. Co.'S
steamer Idaho will run between Seattle
and Laconner during the fall, for the car
rying of heavy freight. During the grain
season she will undoubtedly be kept busy.
Mr. Sheldon, manager of the Tacoma
Mill Company's logging camps, bought
a number of horses and mules in Lacon.
ner, the other day, to be used OH the rail-
way in Horne's camp, near Skaget City.
We were in error as to the number of
acres planted in hops by B. A. Chilberg,
CT Pleasant Ridge He has between seven
and eight acres, from which he has har
vested about four tons of hops.
The Edens logging camp, On Guemes,
was meved on Wednesday to the west
side of the island. a mile or two beyond
the old camp. Hauling will be COM
menced from the new camp next week.
The north fork OF the Skaget river was
opened short time ago, so that the
steamer Mcknight was enabled to pass
through. The probabilities are however,
that at the first high water it will be
closed again.
On the farm of Mr.. Pith, living just at
the edge of the timber on the Swinomish
flats, we noticed few days since an apple
tree so heavily laden with fruit that it
seemed as ifthe branch would break nnder
the great weight. So thick were the ap>
Piles ON the limbs that nothing else could
he seen but great red mass, eight or ten
inches in diameter.
Some difficulty is experienced by mas
tiers OF vessels in obtaining crews The
captain of the ship Iroquois, now loading
at New Tacoma, had to send to San Fran
cisco for a crew. Sailors were never
more scarce than at present on the Sound.
So many foreign vessels, loading with
coal, grain or lumber, creates lively de.
mand for the sailor man.

LOGS LosT.--On Saturday last Swino-
mish slough was filled with loose logs,
which had evidently escaped from some
boom that had been broken while being
lowed to the mill. 1t was thought the
logs escaped from John Eden's boom,
which was towed to Utsalady by the tug
Susie last week. Since the above was
written, we learn from John Edens, who
returned from Utsalady Thursday even
ing, that the logs referred to belonged to
his boom. While the logs were being
towed through the slough the steamer ran
aground. The current swept the lower
end Of the raft against the bank, rails
ing the boom sticks, and thus allowing
over 100 logs to escape, entaiIing loss
Of about $500. The Edens brothers have
been particularly unfortunate OF late, hav>
ing lost over $4,000 worth of logs alto
getbe. since they commenced logging ON
the Sound.

Mr.. Tattershall and family recently arr
rived from Wisconsin and settled on the

lily they determined to return East, and
had got as far as Laconner when the sad
misfortune above related visited them.

A FINE CAMP j. II. McElroy, on the

A FINE CAMP. j. II. McElroy, on the
Samish, has one OF the best appointed
camps on the Sound. The logs are hauled
about mile from the camp, down grade
all the way, and dumped into ditch or
canal made for that purpose The canal
Is about sixty>tive rods in length and
eight or ten feet wide, and is kept con
SANITY filled with water by means OF a
Hood gate at the lower end. When the
ditch is filled with logs, and the tide is
high, the gate is raised and the logs are
run down the slough near It'll mouth,
where they are doomed ready for towing.
The ditch saves great deal of hard
hauling, and is much more convenient
than rolling logs into slough which
dry at low tide.

srKAMBoAr1Ne. - Steamboat business

STKAMBoATING. - Steamboat business
on the Sound is either very profitable, or
e'se is greatly overdone, some will say; but
such is not the case. as nearly every
st ,amer in the Puget Sound District is
constantly employed, and at fair living
rates. Several steamboats, have been built
on the Sound during the past season, and
II number have been brought over from
the Columbia river, including the Well
come, City of Quincy, Washington, and
Others, to be followed during the coming
week by the steamer Gazelie; and rumor
avs it will not be long before the elegant

LOGGING. The ruling price for logs,
niteen years ago, ives 50. so per thousand,
and very slow sale at that, pay to be
taken in camp supplies. Now it is quite
different, good logs readily selling for 81,
while common or inferior logs are worth
$500 per thousand. Logging is now
considered one of the best paying indus
tries on the coast.

Electric Railways.
(FrOm the Tines.

The lecture on Friday night at the
ROYAL Institution was delivered by
Professor w. +. Ayrton, FRS, and
was on "Electric Railways" In it he
explained and copiou>ly illustrated,
by means of a series of experiments,
diagrams, and photographs thrown
on TIE screen, the system of railways
of the kind devised by himself and
Professor Perry: which was demon
strated in action on a miniature cir
cular line before an audience crowd
inc the theatre from roof to floor.
Nh. De La Rue presided, and among
those present were Professor Tyn-
dali FRS, Sir Edmund Beckett, Mr..
w. Preece FRS. electrician to the
Post Office, Sir Henry BesSemer, and
Lord Claud Hamilton. The whole
q uestion of electric railways, Profess
sor Ayrton remarked, was mainly
n Of cost, and what we had to con-
slider was whether electric transmits
sion Of power was cheaper than any
other known system. The average
weight Of a locomotive vas about
that of six carriages full of passengers,
ten of which carriages made up an
ordinary train. Hence the mass OF
the locomotive added at least 80 per
cent. to the horsepower absolutely
necessary to propel the carriage
alone, and therefore at least so per
cent to the amount of coal burnt.
But there was another most serious
objection to the engines, perhaps even

ocean. We were carried out perhaps
five hundred yards from the shore
when our vessel grounded, and the
water continuing its retreat, she
careened over on her beam-ends.
The bottom of the road-stead was
now visible, nearly bare, for IA dis
lance Of half a mile beyond us, and
that immense body of water which
had covered the bay and part Of the
town was reforming with the whole
Atlantic Ocean asm ally for a tremen-
dous charge upon us and the shore.
This was the supreme moment OF
the catastrophe. AS far as the
eye could reach to the north and to
the south was a high threatening
wall of green water. 1t seemed to
pause for a moment as if marshall
inc its strength, and then OF it came
in a maiestic urbroken column, %
awe : inspiring than an army with
banners. The suspense was terrible!
Our noble vessel seemed as a tiny
nutshell to withstand the shock of
the mighty rushing Niagara that was
advancing upon us. AL lexpected to be
engu,fed, and but few had any hope
of surviving. Hold fast 7 was the
cry, as the wave struck the ship
with gigantic force, making every
timber shiver. The first effect of the
blow was to send her over on her star
board beam-end, which gave the
water an opportunity of getting we'll
under her before righting, when she
was buoved to the crest Of the way
and carried broadside to the shore,
finally landing on the edge of. the
street in a cradle of rocks that SEEM
ed prepared for her reception, Here
she rested inclined with decks at an
angle Of fifteen degrees. The waters
again retreated and assumed such q
threatening appearance that our com
mander, fearing another tidal way
(Which would have dashed us against
the stone houses or the wall'of Il Dan

order, Every man save himself!
In an instant ropes were thrown over
the sides, and the crew began sliding
