Elna Notes.

Not seeing anything in your valu-
able paper from Chehalis county,
have concluded to jot down few lines
as to what is going on in this part OF
the country.
Elma has three stores of general
merchandise, one drug store, and one
grocery. Two large halls, four
churches. 1t has fine location and
plenty of water.
Our District Court is now in SEES
sion. We learn there is quite a large
docket this year, some being jury
cases. Win not be able to give any
results this week.
Our county is settling up rapidly
New logging camps are springing up
in different localities and marked
improvement in business of all kinds
is noted. All this go to prove that
Chehalis county is alive.
At Elma, Wednesday, the 22d, is to
commence our County Fair, to con-
tinue three days. We are expecting
something very interesting. All have
special invitations to attend. II all is
carried out that is on the programme,
the three days will not give them any
leisure.
Everything in Chehalis seems to be
upward and onward. There are no
idle men or women. All seem to have
employment who want it. The hum
of the threshing-machine is heard i'll
the land. The rustic of the hop-yards,
the sound of the lumberman's ak and
the boom of huge trees falling in the
forest, all speaks of life.
Mr.. White, of CosmopOlis, has pur-
chased Able 4 Bunn's mill, one and a
half miles from Elma. Mr.. Lyons and
son are to take charge of the mill.
They are overhauling it, putting in a
new water wheel and new boiling
cloth, which will double the grinding
capacity. They are thorough machin-
lists. No doubt they will make sue
cess of it.
Perhaps 1 have said enough for this
time. / will have something for the
next week. ELMA.

who lives two miles south of the place,
and who had been struck glancing
blow on the right temple by the bullet,
cutting cash three-quarters OF an
inch long. The injury was 80 slight
that he secured a cow and drove her
home, accompanied by Mr.. Hamilton.
Mr. Bently attaches no blame to Mr..
Hamilton, as he is confident the shoot
ing was purely accidental, as no one
would dream of any one being in such
place at that time.
The case of the Territory of Wash
ington against George H. Miller for
the murder of COlman and Patten on
Lake Washington February last, and
which was transferred on motion for
change of venue to Tacoma, and
then set for trial on the 2Sth of this
month, cannot be heard at that time
and place. Prosecuting Attorney Ron
aid, and the attorneys retained to de-
fend Miller, are head over heels in
work in King county, in prosecuting
and defending other criminals. Over
thirty Territorial trials are to be had
at the present term of court in that
county, and the Prosecuting Attorney
will he engaged here until after the
Tacoma Court shall have closed. The
case, has. therefore, been transferred
by consent to Port Townsend, where
Judge Greene has set it down for trial,
on Thursday, November 4th. Wit
nesses IN this case will take notice &C
cordingly.

Greene's court, at Seattle. Charles Will

Penitentiary. Ernest Lowry, boy,

lishment in this Territory where such
boys could be sent. One Thompson, a
highway robber, was sentenced to four
years imprisonment. Charles B.
Powers, who broke into the Seattle
electric light works, and attempted to
destroy the dynamo by driving a cold
chisel through it, was sentenced to two
years and six months at hard labor in

The local scramble fol- Office is un-
PARALLEL in the history of parties. 1t
seems that nearly every man you meet
thinks himself especially fitted for
some position with little work and big
pay. The remedy will be found in a
general reduction of salaries. 1t is a
grievous wrong that the taxpayer
should be compelled to pay amounts
in salaries and fees that make the
Offices veritable prize packages. Lower
the rates. Pay just what the service
is worth, and then exact faithful per-
Torrance of duty and an honest rem.
dition of account at the end of the
term.

AN OPIUM SMUGGLER.-A dispatch
from Port Townsend, dated last Tues
day, says that woman named Clara
Murdoch had been arrested the pre-
vious evening for smuggling opium.
The inspector found five pounds of
opium in small valise in her posses
sion. Further search showed that she
had thirty pounds concealed in her
clothing. She had an ingenious ar
rangement underneath her skirt in
which the opium was hid. The wo-
man has been running back and forth
between Victoria and the Sound on
the boats for some time, and it is
thought that she has been extensively
engaged in smuggling.

A TRAGIC AFFAIR.-A terrible trag-
dy occurred near Spokane Falls, on
Tuesday of last week. Itappears that
a man named Paine, convicted of MUIR
der in Missouri, made his escape to
this Territory, and settled in the Okan,
agan country. A few days ago war
rant for his arrest was placed in the
hands Of J. Hubbard, and F. Aiken, Of
Spokane Falls, who proceeded to Okan-
agan City and succeeded in making
the arrest. After proceeding about 40
miles on their return with the prisoner,
they were overtaken by son of Paine,
who shot at the officers with VIM
chester rifle, at long range, the ball
hitting his father killing him instantly.
Another shot struck Hubbard, and
he fell, when Aiken mounted one
of the horses and proceeded with all
speed to farm house, about Ii miles
distant. A relief party found the bod
les of Hubbard and Paine, but at last
accounts the murderer had not been
apprehended.

AT the National Convention OF the

stood that changes of the present laws
will be made amounting to complete
reorganization of the order. State As

have control of the territory under
their jurisdiction, but the acts OF their
officers will be subject to reversal by
the General Master Workmen. Thus
Powderly will retain supreme control,

canvassed, since the adjournment of

but little doubt that it will be adopted.
