it. and then religiOusly adhere to that hour.

that occupation. If possible, pursue two

PATIENCE WITH THE LIVING.

Sweet friend, when thou and are gone
Beyond earths weary labor,
When small shall be our need of grace
From comrade or from ne ighbOr:
Passed all the strife. the toll, the care,
And done with all the signing,
What tender ruth shall we have gained,
Alas b. simply dying?
Then lips too chary of their praise
w II tell our merits over.
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall no defect discover.
Then hands that would not lift a stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and 1.
Ere love is past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the living.
To-day repressed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow:
Then patience-een en- when keenest edge
May whet nameless sorrow.
'Tls easy to be gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clamOr,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamour;
But wise it were for thee and me.
Ere love is past forg wing.
To take the tender lesson home
Be patient with the living.

The President Consulted.

WASHINGTON, August 19.-Attorney
General Miller went to Deer Park yes
terday, to consult with the President
concerning the Terry affair. They
canvassed the case very fully, and de-
termined to take no official action be-
fore the receipt of the U. s. Marshaps
report. The Department of Justice
has already requested the officials OF
the State to use every precaution to
prevent violence to prisoner Maggie
Attorney General Miller and the Pres.
ident are both of the opinion that
Judge Sawyer's action in issuing writ
of habeas corpus was fully warranted
The arrest of Judge Field does not dis
turb the President or Miller. Should
he ever be brought to trial, Attorney
General Miller is confident that the
court would take the view expressed
by General Butler, that "there could
be no compromise on the part of Judge
Field and Nagle."

The Recent Earthuuake I'm Japan.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 19.-The City
of Sydney, from Hong Kong and Yoka-
hama, which arrived this evening, was
expected to bring details of the earth
quakes at Kamota, the first news of
which was cabled from Yokohama,
July 80. One cablegram gave the loss
of life at 1000, while another stated
that almost the entire town of Kamo-
Ia, with population of $3.50, was de-
strOyed. Full details had not been re-
ceived when the City of Sydney left
Yokohama, but the newspapers of that
city of August 2, indicate no such loss
as given by the cablegrams. Several
late kilograms to Yokohama give the
loss at from 200 to 300 killed. A Japan
newspaper says, however, that by the
great earthquake at Kamota, on July
%, many hills were rent, houses de-
molished, and people killed and
wounded in the city, Independent of
surrounding villages. Another shock
has been felt, and the inhabitants are
fearing further disasters.
The floods having subsidized in vari-
GUS districts of Japan, a fairly accurate
estimate of the damage done is OBJ
tanned. Nine hundred and thirty
houses were destroyed by being washed
away or broken up by colliding to.
gether. Forty-one persons are known
to have lost their lives.
The overland China mail brings the
news that on July 9th rioters in the
Fakien province of China fed before
approaching troops. Before leaving,
however, they burned their boats and
baggage. The attack on the Chin Chu
villages is confirmed. For the loss of
four or five of their countrymen last
year the rioters avenged themselves by
slaughtering between 400 and 500 in
habitants of the villages of Chin Chin,
including women and children.

city prison, this morning, Nagle was
asked: "Did you anticipate trouble

TIMBER GaOWJH

The somewhat sweeping remark was
made by Il veteran logger some time
ago that the growth OF fir and cedar
timber in this Territory was equal, at
the present time, to that which is year
" taken out of the forests. ImprOba-
BILE as this may at first thought ap-
pear, Il proper qualification OF the asser-
ton brings the question within the
sphere oi easy solution. Oh settlers
in Oregon assert that what they found
as mere shoots from thirty to forty
years ago are now trees that are capa-
BILE OF producing a stick twelve feet
long that will square one foot. Now
when we take into account the thou
sands OF acres of such growing timber
as this, it is easy to see that the great
aggregate of production must reach to
an extent that would be truly enor-
NOUS. One condition OF this curious
problem is the fact that every Seeding
that springs up within the limits OF
the Territory is annually adding its
ringgrowth to its diameter, and hence
it is that millions upon millions OF
such individual accretiOns OF woody
fiber must amount to something quite
/ beyond our means OF calculation.
Loggers are only at work certain
number OF hours during six days OF
! the week. Nature is ut work twenty
four hours every day in the year.
Loggers ply their vocation for fixed
periods of time and then cease alto
gether, but nature knows no surceasc
1t is wellknown that all cone bearing
trees are rapid growers, which means
that the annual rings are thicker foI
the same diameter than they are in
other and harder kinds of timber.
There are large areas in the William
cite valley where the first settlers
thirty and forty years ago cleared of
the primeval forests of fir and cedar
for numbering purposes and left the
land otherwise untouched. These
tracts are now covered with beautiful
and exceedingly uniform growths o.
timber, the larger specimens-of which
will afford logs twelve feet long squar
ing twelve inches.
But what is true in Oregon is equal
ly true in Washington Territory. I'm
til the whites came here, the Indian,
were wont to burn large tracts OF
young timber for the sake of promot
ing the growth of blackberries, prac
tice which is every year resorted to in
the remoter districts, clandestinely. In
such places, of course, nature calls &
halt and there is no such annual tim
Der increase rs has been cited above.
| But when left alone and protected
it is demonstratable that fir timber
will reproduce itself in fifty years
That is to say, a forest can be reared
from seedlings which in half a centu-
ry will be ready to subserve all the or
binary purposes to which square tim
Der and lumber are generally applied
Thus it will be seen that with proper
care the timber resources of the north.
west Pacific coast can be rendered
practically ineXhauStible.

EXPRESSIONS of sympathy for either
the living or slain OF the aggressive
party, in the late tragedy at Lathrop,
California, are exceedingly few. Judge
Terry's life has been marked by evil
dences of ferocity of temper that have
indellibly stamped the mark of Cain
on his character. Ever since the kill
ing of Broderick he has been under a
cloud, and public condemnation has
been by no means lessened by his con-
duct during the quarter of a century
that has interviewed. His wife, the no
torious Sarah Althea Hill-Sharon, is
held in no higher repute. She was in
a large degree the cause of the assault
upon Judge Field. The relentless per-
secution began with her envenomed
insult to, and defiance of, the Judge
when he rendered the decision that her
marriage with Sharon was not a legal
one. 1t will be remembered that she
shouted in open court, "How much
did you get for that, Judge?" and
when the court ordered her arrest and
removal, Judge Terry opposed the
officers by the most violent means, for
which he was sent to Jail. The predic-
ton is made that officer Nagle will be
exonerated for the part he has been
compelled to play in this life drama.

ger had arrived there this morning
from Georgetown, calling for aid to
keep the forest fires from burning the
town. The fire has surrounded the
town. The strong wind of to-day has
also brought the fire to within six
miles of Phillipsburg. and some alarm
is experienced as to the safety of the
big metallic mill, as the fire is trave'
