A Tramp and His Drink.
A dilapidated- looking tramp, with -
teen distinct patches on his clothes, and
plaster over his eye, went into sa-
loon, slapped down a worn-out dime
and bawled out In voice loud enough
TO be heard In Ogden:
"Give me soda-water cocktail with
the North pole In it."
A crowd outside, thinking free drinks
were to be set up, crowded into the sa-
| loon and watched and waited. The man
Of rags, who had ordered the North
7! pole in his drink, ate up all the lunch
he could find, chewed up the coffee and
| cloves, and was taclling the mint. when
the bartender quietly asked:
What did you say you want In your
drink, Mr.. Gould ?" HsH 81 ~
Mr.. Gould steadied himself moment,
grinned on the crowd and at himself in
the looking glass, and replied:
"n yeu please, sir, I'll have the
North pole in it"
The bartender remembered an old
piece OF gas tubing, about three feet in
length, had been left around; he got it
and blew some cayenne pepper down the
inside, put one end of it in the cocktail,

seemed as though the combined torna-

loose. An immense conglomeration Of
legs, arms, hats, canes aud bodies was
observed piling out Of the saloon few
moments after; and to-day, when the
'aloonkeeper reckons up the losses of O
broken head, cracked mirror, scratched
and stained counter, and liability of
being sued, he will sadly remember the
last words of the tramp as he closed the
door and shot up the street. - SAT- Lake

CONCORD,

A new town just coming to the
front, on Drayton Harbor, is not vet
much advertised in the papers on
the Sound. Concord occupies q
beautiful situation on the north side
o. Drayton Harbor, and on the boun>
Diary line OF British Columbia. 1t
is surrounded on three sides by q
good farming country; that is, a
good farming country for Puget
Sound. The table land exten ding
from Whatcom to Frazer River
is called good farming country
with as; it is'generaly level body
OF land, we'll timbered, and pro-
duces small grain, grass, clover,
and vegetables, all abundantly,
wherever the land has been cleared
and cultivated. There are in this
neigh borhood some orchards that
have been bearing several years,
and are giving the best satisfaction,
and showing conclusively that this
region is well adapted to growing
apples, pears, plums, cherries, and
all manner Of small fruits. Concord
is just across an arm Of the Bay
from Semiahmoo, and is on the In
ternational road from New Vests
minister TO Whatcom, and is-soon to
have a post Office on the mail route
from Semiahmoo to LyndeG b on che
Nooksack River. rhe road from
Concord to Lynlen has just been
opened 10 travel, and the opening OF
this road demonstrates the char
acter of the people in the neighbor-
hood. The work had to be volun-
tured. All turned out literally,
some men working forty days, or
more People who will have good
roads, will improve the country in
other ways. Just at this time l
know of no better opening, for ems
igrants, or business Of any kind, on
the Lower Sound, than Concord.
And the country thereabouts, with
it's fine situation for town, its good
and productive so II, fine timber,
good water, good climate, good fish
cries, and q community of hopeful
enterprising. working people. II
is about thirty four miles back, east
from Concord, to the foot hills of
the Cascade Mountains, and all this
region must be largely tributary to
this place, by reason Of its location,
and advantages of navigation. Dray>
ton Harbor has an area of more
than two miles square Of water,
ranging from twenty six, to sixty,
feet in depth, can be approached
from the Gulf Of Georgia at any
time, on any tide, bya good cham
mel Of deep water. These facts
have been recently demonstrated
by an actual survey, and when
reached, the harbor is completely
land locked. We confidently expect
a large growth for Concord, and the
north west part Of Whatcom coun>
ty in the very near future.

dense with forest growths. and
few are prairies. Ne such body Of
water exists elsewhere on the globe
and none OF greater importance to
future commerce. It is destined to
connect the great railway system
of America with ocean navigation
on the Pacific. It must become the
rendezvous Of the whaling and fish>

lumber interests are pre>eminently
in advance Of all numbering ports of

characterized by mountain spurs
