Waters still Raging.
ST. LorI-, Morch 5.-The latest
news from the orelfowed country
along the lower Mississippi is that
sunken land in the St. Francis river
region is entirely submerged, and
nearly as far down as Helena but
few places are above water. The
people are living in upper stories or
a'e floating around on RATS, or in
coats. Most of them, however, have
deserted the country and gone to the
highlands back from the river. Sew
eral lives are reported lost in this
region, but no definite information
Is given. Five railroad iaborers lost
III an overflow were picked up in Il
boat day or two ago in Il starvin g
condition, having been without food
nearly week. All bayous in this
region are rising rapidly, and great
volume of water is pouring to the
southwark, which will reach Helena
about Tuesday. New Madrid, which
is further north, is submerged, and
from two to four feet of water is in
all the streets. There is scarcely
house in town but what the Il wer
part is in the water. The whole
country back of this place as far up
as Cairo on the Missouri side, and
from Hickman south for over five
miles, the entire bottom is inundat-
ed, and much property in the wav of
corn, live stock, fences, etc., is des-
trOyed. No great amount of suffer-
ing is reported.

The Eur-Seal Season.

The sealing season has about COM
menced, says the Port Townsend
Star, and tine different vessels that
engage in the business regularly
each year have either reached their
destination or will in a few days be
on the grounds and ready to COM
mence operations. The sealing sea-
son begins about February 18th and
lasts until the foggy weather com
mences, in June. The principal
fishing grounds are from 40 to 100
miles southwest of Cape Flattery,
and extend from Gray's Harbor to
Queen Charlotte Island, although
about the latter point the America
vessels seldom, if ever, do any seal
ing. Each of these vessels disburse
Oh an average S. 900 to the natives
for the furs, making total outlay
for the seven American vessels above
named of S35, 900 for the season.
Two years ago as high as $50, 900
were paid out by the Sound fleet.
The total amount paid out every year
by the entire fleet of American and
English vessels must, therefore, be
something over 500, 900, which sum
is afterwards spent by the Indians
among the merchants of Victoria.
Port Townsend and Seattle. The
natives employed in the sealing
business are principally those belong
ing to the Clallam aud Makah tribes,
living on the coast i'll the neishbor-
hood of the Cape, together with a
number from the English side. The
average catch for each vessel is about
500 skins. Last year the skins were
worth about s. apiece, but owing to
the supply at present being in excess
of the demand, and for other reasons,
they will probably not bring more
than 81 each this season. There are
three different grades ot skins, being
classed as pups zone year-olds),
mediums 1.-TWO year olds), and full
grown (three year-olds), the latter
being the mos. valuable. Each
schooner carries complement of 20
Indians, distributed among 10
canoes, each boat having simply an
oarsman and harpooner. When
the hunting grounds are reached the
schooner takes q central position
within easy reach of all the sealing
boats. The method of catching
them is quite simple, and consists of
spearing them while the unsuspicious
animals lie sleeping on their backs
on the top of the water. About
shutdown the natives return with
their catch to the vessel. where the
animals are skinned and the hides
measured aud paid for; one-third
being retained by the captain for the
transportation and maintenance of
the sealers. Owing to the rough
weather about the cape at this sea-
son of the year, the Indians rarely
get more than ten days continuous
fishing during the month.

WhatcOm County.

AS there is deal of inquiry about

able immigration thereto, we repro
duce from an exchange the des-
cription following:

area and agricultural resources of
any county in Puget Sound or West

ing into the Nooksack river country,
u rich and comparatively level
plateau, extending from BellinSham
Bay to British Columbia on the
north, and to the foot of the Cascade
range to the east, because it is to be
recognized as an exclusively farm
ing country, where newcomers can
either purchase improved tracts of
1G0 acres from $500 to $1,000, or
settle adjoining these places OH Gov
eminent land. There is now a pros
pect of a large town growing up on
Bellingham Bay, which will furnish
the Nooksack people good market.
Samlsh, the next farming district
to the south. fronting on the Sound
is fast becoming all important settle
ment. Improved tide-marsh land
there is worth $500 to 5000 a
quarter section, and is backed by
some of the finest timber land on
Puget Sound, Oh which already con-
siderable logging is done. The tim
Der land is lnterspersed with vacant
tracts of lightly timbered bottom
land, desirable for farming pur-
poses.
Next we come to what is know as
tie LaConner or Swinomish Flats,
tide marsh lands under high state
| of cultivation, the choicest tracts of
which sell for $4,000 or 81 900.
Back of these lands is some 1000
acres of vacant beaver marsh land
subject to overflow from the Skasit,
and which could be easily reclaimed
by a colony of fifty or sixty settlers
and be made to blossom like the
rose, or produce 100 bushel of oats
to the acre, which the farmer can
realize upon in the local market al
from $25 to $50 ton, according tO
the demand.
Close to the LaConner flats arc
the marsh lands of the delta of the
Skagit, the largest river emptying
into Puget Sound, which are similar
in extent and value to those already
referred to. Though the SksgiI

A Sure Cure for Diphtherla.

AS cure for diphtheria, the follow
ing remedy is said to be incompar-
able. A correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Record says it is from an Eng.
slish doctor who never lost patient:
One teaspoonful of sulphur in a
wine glass of water. Stir with a
stick, not with metal. Use as q
sarsle, allowing some to pass down
the throat. When not possible to
use gargle, blow little powdered
sulphur through quill into the
throat. This gives instant relief.
1t is now known that diphtheria is
caused by animalcuIe just below the
roots of the tongue, and pow
dered sulphur is the most powerful
agent and least harmful known. NV
own children had the diphtLeria one
of them severeIy-growing worse
under the care of good physician.
l suspended his medicines and ap-
piled powdered sulphur On fiat stick
ia fair pinch, the child projecting its
tongue), just across the lower part
of the tongue. This gave immediate
relief, and after two or three appli-
cations the child recovered. In a
large town in Western New York,
there was an epidemic of diphtheria,
and every case was fatal up to the
time this remedy was made known to
the people there, when only one
child died of all those who used it.

like results.

The mortality statistics collected
by the Census bureau furnish some
interesting facts with regard to the
distribution of diphtheria. The
number of deaths from this disease
for the census year is: Males 49, 49.
females, -, $40, total 3S, 1893, giving
a proportion of 81 .33 per thousand
of all deaths in which the causes are
reported. The total number of
deaths from diphtheria under one
year of age was 1896; under five
years of age it was 20, O35; between
five and fifteen years of age, 16, 162.
In the North Atlantic States the
proportion of deaths from diphtheris
to the total number of deaths having
recorded causes was 51.29 per thou
sand, being in the cities 46.71 per
thousand and in the small towns and
rural districts $3.50. In the Gulf
coast States the proportion of deaths
from diphtheria was but 1916 per
thousand, (13.74 in New Orleans and
1927 elsewhere), and in the Lake
regions it was S1.15. Six cities,
from Rochester to Chicago, give an
average of 1916 and the remainder
