An expedition Is being fitted out by the
Seattle Press for the purpose Of exploring
the practically unknown region lying be-
tween the summit Of the Olympic range
and the Pacific ocean, and extending.
north and south from Puget Sound to the
Quinault river. This region is known to
abound in large game, since the valleys
putting up into the unknown region are
teeming with herds Of elk, wild cougars,
deer and bear. Hunters have shipped In
loads Of elk horns and hides from the
Quilayute region, and bear and cougar
skins are common In all the huts at the
mouth Of that river. Some hunters have
claimed that the unexplOred region con-
sists Of rolling prairies on huge plateau
covering the whole area. Others have
asserted that bands Of Indians claim The
land as their own and demand tribute
from all travellers who desire to enter.
Mr.. G. Morris Haller, who killed eight
big elk at the Lake Of the Sun, near the
headwaters Of the Quilayute, was COM

SEND DOWN 49,"
A Railroad Accident Caused BY the Message The
Parrot Sent BY Telephone.

Philadelphia Times: Out in the fan
west on one cold night in January hor-
rible accident occurred. Snow several
feet in depth covered the ground.
The little town Of B. was perfectly
quiet, and not one Of its inhabitants
dreamed Of the scene Of disaster that
would soon be witnessed. The small sta.
ton house was for the time deserted, the
station master having gone to the store
not far distant. Poll sat al alone in the
cosev little station house, ever and anon
talking to herself. "Polly want cracker
pretty Poll; pretty Poll" Then with a
wise shake Of her head she flew to shelf
that was just above the telephone, rang.
and, receiving the answering ring, shouted
"Send down 49," Then flying back to
her perch, she was quietly sitting there
when the master returned. There was no
telegraph in that part Of the country, and
Poll had often watched her master talk
through the telephone to the station mas
ter at jerome, small town not many
miles distant. In about half an hour the
passenger train was due. When It was
nearly time for the train to come the sta
ton master thought that he heard the
noise Of train in each direction, but con-
cluding that he was mistaken he did not
trouble himself TO look out. In q few
minutes the passenger train passed up,
but II did not stop, and in another mo-
ment fearful crash was heard, a pierc-
ing shrek rang out upon the night air,
and then piteous groans were heard.
Snatching up a lantern, the station mas
ter hurried out. A fearful scene was be-
fore him. The freight train attached to
engine 1I3 had come into collision with
the passenger train.
Fifteen passengers and both engineers
were killed, and five passengers were in
jured seriously. In short time the whole
town was astir. The injured were cared
for and an engine arrived and pushed the
broken cars on side track. Much ex.
citement prevailed throughout the town.
The people wondered who II was who had
telephoned to the station master at Je-
rome. They did not solve the mystery
for many day, and both station masters
very nearly lost their situations. but as
nothing could. be proved against them
they were allowed to remain. One even
ing in June as the station master at B.
sat in his chair he was aroused by hearing
the telephone ring. Looking up he saw
Poll sitting on the shelf above the tele-
phone and heard her call out in her shrill
voice: "send down 49," 1r
At last the mystery had been solved.

A jaunty little cap, built after High
lands fashion in headgear, is the rage
now with school girls. Any girl Of an age
to "set her cap" at anything can make
one, 50 simple is it with its cloth top, vel
vet band, and saucy, nOdding feathers.
Here is the recipe for the benefit Of the
Yakima girls: Take strip Of stiff mus
lin ls6 inches wide, increased on the left
side to four inches, and covered plain with
brown velvet, trimming the edges with a
narrow black-beaded border. A round
piece Of belge-colored cloth 1874 inches
wide across forms the crown, being well
pulled and gathered at the band. A feather
ngrette gives the trimming and the whole
affair, though very simple, is most fetch
ing when seen on the head Of a pretty
young girl.

would in a short time double Seattle's
size and commercial importance. The
Oregon Improvement company, recog-
nizing this fact and also the fact that the
venture would pay, have determined to
build the railroad to the wheat6elds.
Within few days their surveyors will be
in the field, and once the survey is fin
ished the contracts will be let and the
work hurried to Us rapid completion as
possible. Behind all this, too, is the alli-
ance between Elijah Smith and the Union
Pacific. So you can see that in short

Downfall Of q Dude.

Mightier than the downfall Of Dom
Pedro Of Brazil is the tumble taken by
+. Berry Wall, the king Of New York
dudes, who has had to abdicate his
throne, and all on account Of a "horwid
tailor, don't cher no." Berry was mar
ried not great while ago and since then
his star has been in the descendency. He
was brought before creditors court in
New York few days ago for examina-
ton as to his ability TO pay tailor bill Of
1886. The tale Of poverty, which includ-
ed q confession that he wore Waterbury
watch, a two dollar ring and only had
two canes to his name, brought tears to
the eyes Of many. BeTy's only income,
according to his statement, was tl.l5
commission on each hottie Of 4 certain
wine which he advertised by drinking.
Now this source Of revenue will be de-
privcd him, as he Is no longer king Of the
dudes and no one cares what he drinks.

ment II weighed about Q pound, and
was perhaps 1S inches In length, u IN
width, and I Of an inch thick On
picking II up from the desk, when his
attention was called to it reporter
noticed that Il bent slighly at the
ends, and had the feeling Of an elastic
substance. On removing the wrapper,
however, il was seen to be . hard,
compact piece of sandstone, Of light
yellow color, with the ends cut to
points. The texture Of the stone was
hne, and presented no evidence OF
stratifcation, and was smooth over
the entire surface. A knife blade made
no impression on the particles. There
was no doubt as to its being genuine
stone, but it, nevertheless, possessed
the flexibility Of piece OF India rub.
Der. When taken in the hand and
shaken in the direction Of IFS fiat sur
face it would bend back and forth
with a dull muffied sound The
movement was more Of a laxity in the
adhesion, apparently, than an elasti-
city. When held horizontally by one
end the other would drop and remain
in that position. With the two ends
supported on rests, the free center
could be pressed half an inch below
the middle line. With one end held
firmly on the desk the other could be
bent upward over an inch The
movement was not confined 10 the one
direction-in the plane of the fiat ssr-
faces-but the entire stone seemed 10
be constructed on the principle Of an
universal joint with movement per-
ceptible in all directions under pres
sure.
