A telegram was received at Irondale
last Friday, that the Puget Sound Iron
company's wharf at Texada Island had
been washed away during the heavy
southeast storm of two weeks ago. 1t
is partially owing to this mishap that
the furnace has not been started before.
Steps will at once be taken to construct
another wharf in place of the old one,
and for that purpose the schooner Mary
Parker, Capt. Adams, left yesterday,
having on board three carpenters with
tools, etc. With the seven men already
on the island it is expected that they
will complete the work in week.

WINNIPEG CMrRCM WEALTM.

There are eleven religious societies in
the city of Winnipeg and their aggre-
gate wealth il estimated at over $l1,-
100000. This statement would not 60
unchallenged if no facts in explanation
were given. In the early history Of the
country the Hudson Bay Company made
grants of land to the various churches
Protestant and Catholic. They gave no
deed, but simply made an entry of the
gift of the lands in the company's
books. This waa considered all that
was necessary at that time. The lands
we're practically valueless then. And
the company's promise then was con-
sidered as good as deed now. But in
later years the decd was considered
much preferable, aad in most cases it
has been obtained. We need not 20 in
lands, but suffice it to say that the lands
decided to the Roman Catholic Church,
all situated within u radius of seven
miles of the center of Winnipeg, are now
valued at $l0.C0O,0C0. On very small
portion Of the Roman Catholic possess
sions the Archbishop is assessed $500
600, and for block valued at 81, 000, 900
the Archbishop has refused an offer Of
100000. Three Episcopal churches
have over 100000 worth Of property.
mostly land; the Methodists $4,000;
Presbyterians, $125 200, and the remain
der is divided between the Baptists and
Congregationalists. Anumber of costly
church buildings have already been
erected in Winnipeg. and it is said that
two 100000 structures will be erected
there this year or next. Several of the
religious societies have speculated in
city lands and made good deal of
money in that way.

CHANGED RELATIONS OF WOMEN IN
ENGLAND.

On the first day Of this year the rela-
tions of husband and wife in England
underwent complete change. The
married woman's property act of 1882
is the last in series of legislation en-
tirely superseding the old common law
rule that the rights of a wife are merged
in her husband. The result is that there
are four classes of married women In
England having distinct rights and liza
bilities. Those married before Aug. 8,
1870, are entitled to their wages and
earnings and to any property tho title
to which accrues as from today. Blu,
their husbands are liable for their debts
before and after marriage. Those mar
ried between 1870 and 1874 are entitled,
In addition TO the above, TO all sums
coming TO them IA next of kin under
intestacy, to sums coming by will or
deed up to $1,000. and TO rents Of free
holds descending to them as heiresses.
Husbands Of these women are not liable
for debts contracted before marriage.
Women married between 1874 and 1883
can make their husbands liable for
debts only TO the extent OF the assets
which the latter have received from,
their wives. Women married after Jan.
! OF this year may acquire, hold and
dispose Of real estate and personal
property in the same manner ms il I'M
married, without the intervention of
trustees. A wife may now sue her hus-
band, prosecute him criminally. and
even make him bankrupt. II remains
to be seen whether or not this change
in the Law will increase the business of
the divorce courts.

The caving in Of old coal mines is Of
common occurrence in both Europe and
America. AT Wilkesbarre, Pennsylva-
mia was the last occurrence of this
kind. Houses were tipped up. side
walks fell in, brick walls were split, and
gaps opened in the ground. Fortunate
", nobody was killed, but some Of the
people Who found their houses appa-
rently sinking into the earth were
frightened almost out OF their wits.
Such accidents are not uncommon in
the coal regions. The depth of sthe
cave varies greatly, in some places
amounting to only few inches, or
enough TO unsettle an ordinary cottage,
break the plastering, and alarm the oc-
cupants. In other places, perhaps not a
hundred yards distant, the cavity op
ened Ia 30 great as to swrllow q large
building, leaving no sign Of it whatever
on the surface. The roofs and supports
IN abandoned mines gradually give way
for years under the pressure. and then
suddenly collapse, and portions Of the
surface, sometimes covering many
acres. sink down until tho void beneath
y fiiled. Occasionally the caving in OF
an old mine u accompanied with con
siderable loss Of life and destruction Of
property. It would be worth while for
people Who live upon ground which IL
thus honeycombed. and Who dread the
occurrence OF such catastrophe, 10
cons'dsr vhether thsre u mot some
means OF better securing The roofs Of
lninss.

The proprietors of the Arlington Ho-
tel in this city are preparing to double
their present hotel Recommendations.
In order TO do this they will convert the
hallway and everything back of the bar
room into one immense dining hall.
In addition to this they have leased
the new thres-st)r Sohns building, on
Second street, and will furnish it
throughout with black walnut, marble
topped, furniture. This building is
arranged that every room is so connect
ed that it can be used either sinolv or
in suits. On the first floor there are
two rows of eight rooms each, divided
by a wide hallway. These eight rooms
are all connected by sliding double
doors, SO that they can with ease be
thrown into one immense hall, l2O feet
in length. Every room In the building
will be heated by pipes extending from
an immense furnace In the basement,
and also lighted by gas. There will be
bath rooms on every floor, and speaking
tubes leading to the office below.
The carpets for the entire building
will be here March LIST, and the furui-
ture, which left Grand kapids on the
9Th inst, by rail, will reach here about
the 18th of March. The proprietors ex-
pect to have the new building ready for
occupancy by the 10Th of April at the
furthest. There will be AN office in the
new building, but no dining hall, as the
guests will eat in the immense dining
room IN the present building.

WIsCONsIN FORESTS.

It islearned from the Mississippi Lnm-
herman that Wisconsin contains 22,5O0,
600 acres of pine forests, which gradu-
ally change in character and decrease
in productiveness AZ it reaches north
ward. Lakes become more common
and swamps occupy a considerable por-
ton of the area. The pine trees are
smaller and more scattered, although
generally less intermixed with hard
wood, and the lumber they yield is of a
poorer quality than further South.
The aggregate amount of standing
pine is A, 0O0, 100000 feet. The cut for
the year aggregated 2O87, 2s9. 900. There
were manufactured 1,700,OO0,0O0 shin
giles and 34S,301 600 laths. OF this
amount of cut lumber 4S5,h52.O feet
were manufactured along the Mississip-
pfriver in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri
as far south AZ st. Louis. The hard
woods of Wisconsin are irregularly dis
tributed through the State. Four coun-
ties are estimated at 1900, 900 cords, in
addition to some timber Of commercial
value. Valuable oak timber exists in
large quantities in some counties, and
hardw0ods are found distributed
through all the southern portion Of the
forest area of the State. The cut of the
hard woods for the year was 1904, 0Co
feet, exclusive of 86,5i5,OO0 slaves and
7,448,000 set headings.
The cedar swamps scattered through
the pine belts of the State cover an area
Of some 1865, 600 acres. and are estimat-
cd to contain 100000 posts, telegraph
poles, and railroad ties, in addition to
large quantities of tamarack and
spruce.

markets three pounds Of as fine beef
steak as mortal man ever broiled. Now,
the same amount Of as good steak
makes monstrous hole in dollar.
The same proportional prices we're and
are asked for mutton and veal. The
causes of this great increase in the To-
cal prices of fresh meat are few. For
several wears Eastern buyers bought up
each spring all the cattle in this country
fit to drive; fer two or three years TO-,
600 railroad builders have been fed
with meat raised in this country; o.
we're winter or two caused heavy leases
in cattle, and the immigration has been
very large. There is little or no chance
now for drover TO buy several thous-
and head of cattle in Eastern Washing
ton and Oregon. and not much chance
OF beef being again az cheap a. is was

nm. CoX,ECrICrr OYSTER TRADE.


One Of the most interesting reports
preseuted to the General Assembly OF
The State of Connecticut during the
mast winter was that OF the Shellhsh
commissioners. The figures they pre-
sent show that for the season OF 1888
$4,000 acres of ground will be devoted
to the cultivation of the oyster. VI
this vast area a largelportion has oesh
cleared mn and shelled. One firm mas
laid down 10000 bushels OF Shells
Several large growers have laid down as
manv as 100000 bushels each. A Sill
larger number have scattered loo'"o'
10000, and 10000 each. There are
about thirty steamers engaged IN the
business. besides a very large number OF
sailing vessels. II no unusual acc'-
dents occur, the crop, the next TWO
wars. will be enormous. One cultivat-
or alone looks for no less than 1,0OO,oOO
bushels of marketable natives from his
own grounds. As the oysters are worth
from Is cents TO $l.25 bushel, and
will certainly average 81, here IS busi-
ness of 100000 for year. The oys-
ter does finely on Long Island sound
but no better than on Puget Sound.
Here they are simply eaten and the
beds destroyed. There they have been
eaten for two hundred years, and AZ the
grounds have been properly cared for
the yield is greater than ever before
When our people learn to prize what ma
ture has given them-their timber, their
fisheries, and their other unrivaled re
sources-and use them in the Thought
al, economical, careful manner, the
people of Europe and the Atlantic sea-
board use their resources, then. and
perhaps not till then, will we have
an oyster trade on Puget Sound like
that of Long Island Sound and Chesa
peake Bay, employing tens Of thousands
of hands, using millions of capital, and
benefting whole commonwealth.
