lars worth OF fine timber by the late fires,
aud there are three hundred dollars v orlb
OF cord wood belonging to the firm OF
Bowman d Childs, not yet hauled out Of
the woods, which is liable to be destroyed.
The smoke is getting So thick now in
this neighhnrlood that it is difficult to
see more than a few hundred yards ahead
Considerable damage has Lecn done by
til, q cs in the woods back of Anacortos.
Part of this has been caused by the care-
lessness of those burning their slashings,
and part by hunters nom distance build
ing camp fires ard then not taking the
trouble to extinguish them. H. is a sutfic
lent grievance that hunters from up
Sound should come here to slaughter
quantities OF deer, without any regard to
the game laws. 1t is u double grievance
that they should le.ve fires to spread ant
do thousands at dollars damage.

OHICc loseu"y o'e'"""' w A""'""
men had numbers of tenas canoes to sell,
and the squaws very pretty baskets OF va
rlous kinds. A lively scene of barter en-
sued for half an hour or more between
the ladies and children of Anacortes and
the Indian traders, in which the latter
had decidedly the advantage. The In
dams understood very little English, and
the ladies' scarcely any Chinook. nevcrthe-
less the conversation was very animated
and lively. Some disjointed sentences
foated through the ENTERPRISE windows,
such as sitcum dollar" "klum quarter v
"chicamun,," halo chicamum," "kloo-
che" halo kloOchs," "old skinfiint y
"hyas cultus klootchman," etc.
