Beecher's Removal.

The Seattle Times says that the
report of Beecher's resignation is
believed by q. S. officials in Seattle,
although there has as yet been no
official notification. The reports
published first in the Times OF yes
terday of the resignation under re-
quest from the president, of FL. f.
Beecher, special treasury agent, is
believed by some of the Q. 5, officials
here, although no notification Off
cially has ever reached here. MIR.
Munday, in speaking of it, said he
heard it first after arriving here.
Beecher. he knew, went to Frisco
with his family, who will spend the
winter there, on a thirty-day leave
of absence. While he would not &C.
cept the report as true, there were
good reasons for believing it
"Under the existing condition OF
things" said Mr.. Munday, Beech
er's days of usefulness, if he ever had
any, on Puget Sound are over. There
has been an effort to have him IL ans
fered to some other district, and
this may have been done"
"Did not the president wish his
aid and presence in the prosecution
of the Gardner cases, and Is no
this the direct cause of his removal
if he has been removed?" was asked
ST don't think So" said Mr.. Mum
day. ''We have never tried to Sc
cure him as witness in those case
and I don't think the government
cared for his testimony"
AN OPINION.
Il feel confident" said q promi
nent gentleman today, that the re
port of Beecher's dismissal is correct
and that it grew out of Beecher'
dilly- dallying actions in regard
the Gardner trial"

SLOOP ADVENTURER.
Interest Increasing over Her Non
Appearance.

No tidings have as yet arrived con-
cerning the little sloop Adventurer,
which sailed for Northern Alaska
last spring. News came down from
the Adventurer per United States
steamer Thetis, on the 28th of Sep
tember, she being at that date at
Kodiae and preparing to sail for
home. j. G. Howard, business
manager of the Sitka, Alaska, Free
Press, was with the Adventurer. 1t
is now believed that the three navi
gators, Reed, Sullivan and Howard,
intend passing the winter in North
ern Alaska waters. The Adventurer
left Seattle early in the spring on a
trading cruise.
LATER: Since the above matter
was written, Captain Manning, uncle
of s. G. Reed, owner of the sloop,
showed to a Times reporter letter
dated Kodiac, Alaska, Sept. 14th,
and addressed to S. G. Reed, Seattle.
The letter was written by ]. B. Ball
lon, agent of the Alaska Commercial
Company, at their cannery, near
Kodiac.
The writer had been invited on
board the Adventurer previous tc
her departure from Kadive for Sc
attic, but was unable to leave his
business to comply. He remark:
that he witnessed the Adventure
hosting her flag on leaving and re,
grets being unable to see MIR. Ree(
before he left.
From this it is known that tht
Adventurer sailed as expected OIL
September 1st for Seattle. She diC
not touch at Sitka, so that grav
fears are entertained that she ma,
possibly have become submerged il
the heavy seas along the coast
Among other things the agent speak
Of another trading cruise to b
made next summer by the Adventur

The Dominion Cabinet at a meet
ing on Saturday decided to inviteIthe
Australian and New Zealand Gov
ernments to send delegates to Otta-
wa at an early date to consider the
matter of the proposed cable from
New Zealand to British Columbia.
The design is to direct the traffic aud
travel from Australia which goes now
entirely uiG San Francisco to Van
couver, and thence over the Canadian
Pacific Railway, and to open up a
market for Canadian manufactures,
uow possessed almost exclusively, so
far as this Continent is concerned,

The vice-president of the Ryan
Smelter Company at Tacoma saws
that the smelter will be ready for

Experts claim seasickness can be
regulated by system of breathing.
One must sit still and breathe regus
larly and freely according to fixed
plan: Time your breathing to the
upward and downward motion of the
boat. As the boat falls there should
be full expiration, and as the boat
begins to rise start on an inspiration,
ending just as the boat starts to
drop. 1t is an easy plan to follow and
makes you laugh at the idea of being
sick, unless you have q stomach SO
weak as to be affected by the sway
! ing Of train or boat.

Editorial Observations.

L
| La Camas is thriving town, con-
taining already nearly thousand
inhabitants, situated Oh the Colum-
bia River, within the boundaries of
Washington Territory-about thirty
miles from Portland, Or, by water,
and fourteen miles from Vancouver.
Its advantages seem to have been
first perceived Tor at least first acted
upon) by MIR. D. H. Stearns, five
years ago. ATr. Stearns is a very
enterprising, energetic man, with
more than the average brightness of
really bright newspaper publishers
to which class he belonged for many
years. He was formerly publisher
of the Portland Daily Bee, and af-
terwards editor of the Telegram of
that city. Perceiving the natural
advantages of the point to which we
desire to call special attention, he
induced Henry L. Pittock and others
of Portland to back him financially
in purchasing hand and laying out a
town there-the main object of the
monied men, however, being at that
time to erect a large paper mill.
The land was bought up for a mile
back from the river, and five miles
in length.

THE TOWN

Occupies a beautiful and exceed
ingly advantageous location, having
a level frontage, sufficiently elevat-
ed above the river to be safe
from inundation, and amply large
for business purposes. Rising in
a semicircular amphitheatre at the
rear of the business part are series
of terraced benches, admirably fitted
for dwellings and snowy public
buildings-while a splendid head-
land on one side presents a most
magnificent prominence for any
great building or structure that may
eventually ornament its heights.
Table lands reach far into the in
terror from this elevation, extending
far out in all directions, covered by
prosperous farming communities. A
stream of pure water courses through
the townsite, supplying every need
in that direction, and a beautiful
fresh water lake on the uplands, be-
ginning about mile back and ex~
tending nearly two miles, furnishes
natural location for one CT the fn>
est summer resorts in all this won-
derfully blest Pacific Northwest.
Among the business institutions
of the town, We notice already a
oreditable bank tof which Mr..
Stearns is presidentl, Touring mill,
saw mill, a hotel, livery stable,
drug store. two mercantile establish-
ments. newspaper office: and last
but most important, paper mill.

PAPER MILL

Is located in a building S0x290 feet
in size, near the river side, and built
of stone for its basement story, with
biick superstructure. The first
mill was in q wooden building, but
was completely destroyed by fire
seriously crippling the owners finan-
cially. So great was their energy
and thrift, however. that they have
rebuilt the mill in a more enduring
structure, and have stocked it with
the finest machinery to be had. An
expert, Tuerck by name, was
brought over from Germany specials
ly to take charge Of the enterprise
and under his skillful management
it is now splendid property
Through the kindness of Mr.. Bur.

paDy's land Office, we had an oppor
tunity to make a thorough inspec'
ton of the paper mill, and witness
the interesting process by which pa

the mill is propelled by water power
and steam together-aggregating G
force of about 800-horse power. I
furnishes employment altogether fol
about 110 persons, runs night ant
