The RusH To WuATcoM.--There ia
considerable rush, hustle and activity
at Whatcom just now-so much so, in
deed. rs to remind one Of the IS excite
ment at the same place. The writer
was not ahou. there in '5s, but an early
settler visiting the place with US the
other day so remarked: and many are
the inquiries as to what this rush is all
about. as there is no railroad In sight,
nor in projection by any responsible
company. True, there is sofue talk of q
branch connecting tho Northern Pasif;c
at Seattle with the Canadian Pacific Mt
New Westminster or some other point
in British Columbia, but the company
has not definitely formulated or an
nounced any sach protest. There Is no
question bat that in course OF time such
road will DO built, and that Whntcom
will at least be a station on the route, If
nothing more; bnt M yet responsible
capitalists have not been attracted
thereto. nor sought to invest in and de-
velop whatever latent resources IL may
possess, II We may except tho colony
mill project. The only explanation for
this rush that probably can be given 10
that Whatcom county 10 extensively nd.
vertised abroad as = desirable location
for settlement, and Of the great tide of
immigration nov arriving at Seattle, m
the commercial center Of the Sound,
hundreds are attracted down this way
aud through to Whatcom by the cheap
fares which, owing to the opposition of
steamers, we are favored with, and
Whatcom being at the end Of the route
they ride through to got their moneys
worth. Most of those who 60 10 What
com, after stopping day or tws at the
hotels, pass on in search OF land on the
Nooksa.k. some ten miles beyond. Some
Of them find public land 70 locate on
after dili9ent inquiry and search and
many fail in 90 doing, and not finding
the locality all their fancy painted il
give up tho search and return by tho
next steamer; and 50 il Is constant
stream Of travel up and down. There
are now three largo hotels at Whatcom,
bat are yet inadequate 10 accommodate
the rush. Two large hotels for the new
sownsi.es Of Bellinehsm and Fair Ha-
ven, two or three miles distant from
Wha;com, are also being built and fit
ted ND 10 accommodate those desiring
10 stop or invest there. 50 that In q few

A wEMAgKABLI CASE.

Tho Vancouver Independent narrntes
the following:
. The announcement of the death Of
fanLie McCann recalls tine singular
history of her life. When born she was
ehe same as any other babe, but when
only a few weeks old she was taken
With some disorder which drew her
limba out Of shape, making her a help
less cripple. which she was all her life.
Ror twenty two years devoted mother
cared for her every want. . burden that
would have been intolerahle bat for the
Affection OF the parent for the child,
which IL ono OF natures priceless gifts.
Ati those - years Fannie lay upon
I'D, or in the easily Moved chair that
had been devoted to her use. With u
mind partly clouded by the affection
which had rendered her powerless TO
noya, she knew mono of the joys of
ehildhood, and participated III few Of
ths realities Of life. Ono hand only
eonId she move, with which she some-
umas helped herself to food. Sho could
not speAk no that stranger could un-
eafstand her. As her last sickness, n
@upsical affection came upon her, the
9oat singular thing in Der history was
dsve!oped. Command Of language
nms 10 her all at once, and she told
81 mother she WAS gong to die, aud
shs eetned not to regret 1t, talking q
long time. Again OH Friday she. became
!Alkasise, called the family up to her.
oadc each ono good bye, distributed her
nttle trinkets among them ~ tokens of
temsmofAncs, and sank into a letharRy
irom which she passed into the world
oeyond. Aud now, though the parents
eAee lad down theif heaviest life bur-
go, yet 10 do not doubt that this death
\. alAxes greater void Ia the household
@Sn any other would have done.

ALMOST UPON US,

The holidays always leave
us with the dull season on our
hands, and we must do our
best to reduce our stock while
we have customers. Some one
once said that " Nothing is
cheap at half-price if you don't
want it, " but if you do want it,
how then Z So it is with cloth
ing we want to sell it and do
so. If you have any idea Of
making a purchase bear in
mind that we don't take cost
into consideration Just now,
but have made such reductions
In every department as will
convince you that we are in
earnest. Our entire. stock is
still in splendid condition. The
breaks and sizes have been
filled up, and we can still
please you little better than
ever, especially in price.
