Tacoma.

The editor of the Coopertowr. Oak,
Courier, after a brief s%ojourn 1t Tacoma,
Washington territory, thus communi-
Gates his impressions concerning the
climate. and other Inducements to re,
of the Pacific slope:
Here we are at Tacoma, the CITY of
destiny. the tank of the eouinoxial
storms, where the trees are thick and
straight as wheat stalks, and their tops
whitened by perpetual snows-where TO
fell n tree you have to cut down a
thousand-where the drizzle-drizzle-
drozzles, and the drizzle-drozzle and the
merry bull-frog sings on the boulevard
the live long day-the home of the
moss-back; everything is covered with
moss-the very sun seems widowed
and watery. Here is where you can
raise fruit and hops, and watermelons,
and watercresses. and moss and fish.
Twenty acres of clear land ten miles
from town sold for $4,000 last week.
As 1t is a holy terror to clear one acre.
the price does not seem unreasonable.
Just what is going to keep up the boom
| do not know. A fruit diet gets mono
tonons after a while. and moss and cold
water do not help II materially. The
town has 10000 people. 1t is said that
Mt. Tacoma, which is $4,000 feet high,
can be seen from the city on a clear day.

bitant probably has. In Port Townsend

bring a hen and defy fate"

Officials of the Indian bureau, refer

agency that Red Cloud had refused tc

account of the friends of Red Cloud in
Washington. When Red Cloud was
here a short time ago an agreement
was made between him and Or. Bland
to oppose the new treaty. Bland. it is
said, has Red Clouds power of attorney.

money the doctor can get it and send it

An elegant and unique cardboard
hanger, soon to DO issued from the Office
of the Dakota Commissioner Of Immi
grafton as an advertising medium, is
thus described by the st. Paul Pioneer
Press: "A triumphal arch, covered
with the emblems of agriculture, stock
raising, navigation, manufacturing and
mining. On the top of the arch Il
eagle rests between two flags on which
1889" is printed between two brilliant
stars. The twin sisters, North and
South Dakota are represented by two
maidens, who are standing in a chariot
likened to an eagle; the chariot is
drawn by four white horses, which are
led by as many pages. In front Of the
chariot two other pages are carrying
two banners, showing statistics Of the
two states in contrast with the other
| states of the Union, those Of the latter
| being printed on the margin Of the
! sheet. The chariot is passing through
the arch Uncle Sam stands at n side
of it bowling a welcome; Columbia is OF
laurel. Beyond the arch are seen tn
faces Of thirty eight sisters who avail
the coming Of these two new ones
Along the horizon and beyond the arcl
can be seen railroads, steamboats,, min
ing camps, artesian wells, factories, cities
farming scenes, etc.

Referring to the weather in South
Dakota, the Pioneer Press of the Doth
ult. says: This has been a week OF
very dry weather and hot winds in the
north half of the state. Wheat and oats
are suffering very greatly for moisture
80 is flax. Corn needs rain, but it can
get along ten days without it. In the
sections above mentioned, one quarter
of the area sown to wheat will not re
turn the seed. The remainder will not
average above ten bushels an acre. In
prospect Is better, owing to rains early
this week. But in some Of the counties
the outlook Is no better than it is in the
more northerly half of the state. 1t
will be all Of 25 per cent worse if we do
not have good rains before the tenth of
July.

The Yellow Garter.

Under the seductive heading of "A
| Pointer for Sturgis Girls" the Record of
that place submits following:
"The very latest and funniest within is
the wearing of the yellow garter. Just
one garter, not two, you understand,
and it must be worn just above the left
knee. The other stocking may be
wrinkled disconsolately over the shoe
top, or be fastened in place by any n
or all Of the mysterious devices known
only to the initiated, but the left one is
held firmly by a band Of yellow silk
elastic, with a ribbon rosette ofthe same
shade, and the correct and proper thing
is to wear it night and day for six
months.
THE yellow g%arter's origin is shroud-
ed in murky uncertainty, but its signi-
~fication is known to every girl who
possesses it, and this is the charm: Any
girl who wears a yellow garter above
her left knee is sure to be engaged in
less than six months. The garter
must be given to her by a friend she
must not make or buy it and it has
never been known to fail of its purpose
but once, and then the owner was wear
ing it on the wrong extremity, or rather,
the right one instead Of the left.
"Just wherein lies the potency be-
longs to the ethics Of the esoterics OF
girlhood, but the girls all wear them.
The slim slips Of girls who want to be
engaged just for fun, though they aren't
half old enough to be married the

and wholesome as carnation, who have
a career before them, and say they
wouldn't marry the best man in the

that no ones quite dares to ask them

The question of bonding the county
Indebtedness is at present engaging the
attention of the people of Fall River
county. The Hot Springs Star, which,
presumably, is largely supported by the
residents of that place, is an earnest and
persistent champion of the measure,
while the Advocate, a conspicuously
fearless and outspoken Oelrichs organ,
has donned its a~ntagonistic war paint,
and will fight the measure to the finish.
The sum total of the county's indebted
ness seems insignificant, being but SlS,-
600, and yet, when it is considered that
the county has no public buildings, or
improvements of any kind, except a few
ordinary bridges. the fact becomes at
once apparent that the model inexpen-
sive plan upon which it was originally
proposed to run that county, has not
been observed to any considerable ex-
tent.

A Helena, Mont, dispatch says tina
Harry WILDER, alias Patterson, commit
ted suicide in the Great Falls Jail, Sat
urday last. He was confined on the
charge of numbering five tourists in
Judith basin, who were on a trip to
northern Montana from Helena. Threats
of lynching were freely INDUCED in by
friends of the murdered people. Patter-
son was tried twice at Cheyenne for the
murder of McElhone, or "Tin Hat" on
Runningwater in 1884. The jury dis
agreed In the first trial, and in the
second the prisoner was acquitted The
trials attracted wide attention, and cost
Laramie county thousands of dollars.
Patterson was defended by a noted
criminal lawyer of Denver, and the ac-
quital of the prisoner was spoken of as a
great triumph of the artistic skill of the
Denver attorney as a criminal lawyer.
Patterson made his exit by hanging
himself with a towel in his cell in the
Montana Jail, and the world seems well
rid of a thorough desperado.--Sundance

A LITTLE.

So little made me glad, for was young;
Flowers, a sunset, books, a friend or two,
Gray skies with scanty sunshine piercing
through
How little made me glad when was young.
SO little makes me happy, now I'm old;
Your hand in mine dear heart, here by the fire,
The children grown unto our hearts desire
How little keeps us happy when were old
And yet, between the LITTLE then and now,
What worlds of life and thought, and feeling
keenl
What spiritual depths end heights unseen,
All mel between the little then and now.
For little things seem mighty when we're young;
Then we rush onward through the changing
years,
Testing the gamut of all smiles and tears,
Till mighty things seem little; we are old
