Territorial Hard Times.

During the spring and summer of
1887 about 500 colonistS went TO Port
Angeles, says the Seattle Press, and
during those same seasons over $50
600 was spent. 1t was Il glorious big
picnic. The men would work on the
cOlony'S tramways until they fancied
themselves tired, when they would call
halt and stop work for the day.
They held stormy meetings, at which
all hands would pitch into the debate,
and then after adjournment they
would all attend Il dance and have a
gloriously good time of it. This was
kept up until the funds were all spent
and a big debt of about so, 900 or more
was accumulated in Seattle and Port
Townsend. A cloud had gathered over
their heads and they could not see the
silver lining. Starvation stalked
through the colony wigwams and
pointed with bony fingers at the vic
TINS he intended to carry to his home
over the SHOWS of winter.
The beef supply was cut down from
whole carcass week to a quarter,
and then the beef supply was cut off
altogether. The butter bill, which had
been ranging as high as so week,
was wiped out, and the colonists had
no butter Retrenchment was the
order of the day. and it was carried to
such an extent that the standard bill of
fare was rs follows:
Potatoes, bread, and cotton-seed oil
gravy for breakfast.
Bread, potatoes, and cotton-seed oil
gravy for dinner, and
Cotton-seed oil gravy, potatoes, and
bread for supper.
Some people did not even have
enough of this. Philip Meager, who
has lived in Port Angeles for twenty
six years, says:
Many a time have | stood on this
wharf and counted from forty to fifty
lanterns going along the beach They
were colonistS, and they carried with
them each one Il spade and bucket,
going after a meal of clans. They

WEICHSEL STICKS
The Latest Style of Cane, Recently I'm

A well-known club man stood in front
of the Hotel Brunswick yesterday af-
ternoon, says the New York Mail and
ErpTeSS, swinging cane which attract

by. The cane had been received from
Berlin few days ago and is consider

with an elaborate handle, though the
stick was quite slender in comparison
with the canes of a few months ago.
The knot which formed the handle
seemed a rope tied in a sailors knot,
thickly covered with silver, which was
tied in the most artistic design, with
here and there pieces cut out. through
which the natural wood could be seen.
There were seven knots sticking out in
the handle, and on each one of these
was a fly or huge mosquitoes honey-bee,
a po,ato-bug. q miniature rat, or wee

abroad, and on almost every transat-
lantic steamer few are brought over
They are very expensive just at pres
ent, but as soon as the public becomes
infatuated with them the price will de-
cline.
Weichsel-wood canes have always
been considered comparatively rare in
this country, though men who make
canes their hobby always have bought
a variety of them. Weichsel wood
comes from Germany, near the famous
Black forest. 1t is used in the manu-
tacture of kirschwaSSer, and is made
into pipes as well as canes. 1t is light
reddiSh-brOwn in color and has a pleas
ing odor. which perfumes the hand
when held. Weichsel-wood cultivation
has become quite an industry in Ger
many, the greatest care being taken in
orchards in which the wood is grown
to use for canes.
while the trees are growing the

twists which make the handles. 4
