left this city about O'Clock, the train broke
apart at the Steam Mill Crossing in Halo

Seattle Items,

PoS'-IEteNigtncerl
The sharp, determined handling
given roughs here last year has had
q most salutary effect, and has given
abundant proof that punishment at
the hands of the people is much more
feared than at the hand of the law.
Not a single murder has been COM
mitted for more than fourteen months,
no act Of highway robbery has been
committed, no arson, and but single
case Of burglary. Such record i'll
a seaport town of the Importance and
population of Seattle, cannot be re-
peated elsewhere in the United
States, Canada or Mexico, and prob
ably not in the world.
The advance in real estate values
may be illustrated in the case follow
ing: Three years ago Mr.. Il. Still
bought at lake Union a IDIOT block
Of d. Il. Denny for S42O. Sometime
ago, when he thought prices We're
pretty well up, he sold two of the lots
for $3.50. The price has continued to
climb however, and yesterday he sold
another lot for 500, aud he was not
through with that transaction when
he was offered for the two choicest
lots a thousand dollars apiece. As
the transaction now stands him he has
got back his original purchase money
and $llO0 besides, and yet retains
three fourths of the property, Should
he accept the latter offer he will still
have more than half his lots left and
will be $3100 ahead. He, however,
expects to get $4,000 for his remaining
lots. Should he do so, his $3.50 in
vestment of three years ago will real
ize him $10,560.

A Fish Story.

The club was gathered around the

woods horse race, where the winner
made the remarkable time of a mile
in 8 minutes, when a fellow came in
with his hands bandaged up. Hello,
Jim" spoke up one of the company,
''been sliding down a rope?" "Not
exactly" says Jim; ''you see, I went
fishin' down on Union wharf; fish so
thick hook'll hardly sink through 'em.
I threw the hook overheard and about
u hundred fish made dive at it; big
one swallowed the bait, and the other
fish got so mad about it they tried to
swallow each other. Another fish
swallowed the tail of the one that had
the bait-couldn't get him any further,
he was too big; next one swallowed
tail of the second and SO on to the end
making line that reached to the
new wharf. Well, 1 took a turn Of
the fshline in each hand to haul in,
and the last fish hitched his tail round
q new wharf pile. Then they made
a rush and yanked that line out of
my hands so quick I thought streak
OF lightning had passed through EN-.
The doctors afraid hell have to
cut both hands off close under my ears
in order TO save the rest of my body.

A resolution was seriously intro
duced in the Legislature yesterday re-
questing the governor to pardon
every Chinese subject now in the
prisonslof the state, on condition tina
they shall Immediately return to
China without a passport. Nothing
is likely to come of the proposition,
but where it carried out it would re-
relieve our prisons considerably.
There is an erroneous idea among
the philanthropists Of the east that
the Chinese are a docile race and not
much given to crime, but the fact is
the reverse. A jail delivery of the
kind contemplated by the resolution
would do much to remove this false
opinion. and would, at the same time,
materially reduce the Chinese popu
lation of California S. L. Chronicle.

DURING the past year more fine,
large, deepwater American vessels
have arrived in these waters than at
any time before for ten years sail
ing vessels like the Glendor, W. W.
Grape, Daniel Barnes and many 9th
ers, steamships like the Tacoma, and
others of the collier fleet A glance
any of these craft, the sailers especi-
ally, should convince anyone that, al
though America has fallen from the
high position she held but a few years
since, as having a larger merchant
marine flying her flag than any other
nation on earth, her ship builders
have not yet lost their cunning, and
finer vessels - better proportioncd,
better riSged and better sailing,-are
launched from American ship yards
than from those of any other country.

as good protective laws as those of

The people of eastern and western

to build railroad connecting these
two sections. They have been SO Of
te promised and 50 often disappoint
ed that they are now beginning to Sc
riously arrange plans for building the
road themselves. This is suggestive
OF the fable which tells of the old bird
that had her nest in the wheat field
and who didn't get uneasy until the
farmer quit relying on his neighbors
and concluded to cut his grain him
self. If Walla Walla, Seattle and
Yakima capitalists once make up their
minds to build the road which is SO
essential to the growth and develop
meut of our territory we shall expect
to see it built. A road running from
