shelton News.

SHELTON, Dec. 15.-ESpecial. THE shut
ting down of work on the PoFt Townsend
Southern railroad, even if it, proves but
temporary, as is generally believed, will
have a bad effect on the numerous town
sites which have been opened up along its
line, especially if the log market is not
very active during the winter. This will
have but little effect on shelton, as il is
by no means dependent OF the Port Town
send Southern for its future. The citizens
are conndent and are showing their faith
by going ahead with the enterprises. An
electric light plant will he put in this win
ter. and this will furnish employment TO
those who are without work on account of
sonic of the logging camps shutting down
foa time. The new water system will
also give employment during part of the
winter This is just the time when the
local people should do their work and show
a solid town by progress during duli sea
sons.
The ship Willard recently arrived in the
Sound from England with cargo of steel
rails, large part of which are for the Sat
sop railroad of this place.

GEN. GARRISON ON POLITICS.
Elections Bill Likely to Fail--Free
Coinage Majority in Congress.

BosToN, Dec. 15.-Ex-Assistant Post
master GARRISON, in an interview on ma
tional politics today, said he did not
ascribe to the big importers an extraordi-
narily large share in the defeat of the Re-
publicans at the recent elections.
Speaking of the elections bill, Clarkson
said he was in favor of it, but there were
no assurances that it would pass, as some
of the senator's who had speculations at
stake would let the bill be defeated through
delay.
On the prospects of financial legislation
Clarkson thought there was a majority in
each house in favor of free coinage. He
advocated a revision of the banking laws
in favor of the farmer, and said the Farm
ers' Alliance had come to stay until some
modification of the banking system was
made

BREEDING MoNGoLIAN PHEAsANTs
Great Demand From other States for
Oregon's Imported Game Birds.

PORTLAND, Dec. 15.-[Special. $50 many
inquiries have been received here from per-
sons in all parts of the Union, who wish to
procure Monaghan pheasants for stocking
parks, etc., that number of parties on the
Willamette have gone into the business of
procuring birds for SALE The law protect
ing them allows them TO be caught and
sold for breeding purposes, but as there are
no expert bird catchers in the state no
large number of pheasants have been Sc
cured, although they are very plentiful
throughout the Willamette valley. 1t is
thought that large number could be
caught if q heavy fall of snow should
come.
One dealer in Albany has contract for
supplying a number of pheasants to par
ties in California. They form valuable
addition to the game birds of any state,
being hardy, prolific, a fine table bird, and
furnish good sport.

Women After the Cigarette Fiends.

A large number of ladies in this village
have formed themselves into a committee
and have called upon Chief of Police Stey-
ems and asked him To enforce the law pro-
hibiting children under l6 years of age
from smoking cigarettes and tobacco.
Since this law went into effect the young
urchins, who apparently give no heed TO
the warning, have made a special effort To
be seen on the streets as big as life, with
the death-dealing cigarettes in their
mouths. The authorities have never given
the matter any consideration, but the
ladies are up in arms, and they propose to
enforce the law in every case.

Russia's National Flower.

There was, | believe, a short time
ago, u question regarding the propriety
of choosing a National flower for the
United States, and considerable senti-
ment was disclosed in favor of the sun
flower. Could Americans see one of
those fields in full and radiant blossom
the sunfiower would undoubtedly carry
the day.
Following up this train of thought,
the mind naturally reverts to period
of the not distant past. when n slim
gentleman in knee-breeches, long hair,
and with big sunfower in his button
hole emerged from the fogs of London
to create a passing furor among us in
favor of the royal monarch of the Lit
tie Russian steppes. The sunfiower
crop is one of the best paying in Rus
sia. A good crop is worth. as it stands
in the field. 100 rubies a legislative, or
about $25 an acre. The seeds are sold
by the farmers for one and half to
two rubles a pood. Then the mer-
chants salt them and retail them for
four rubles a pood, and ut about every
street-crossing i'll Russian provincial
cities are stands and peddlers with
baskets selling to the passers-by the
salted product Of the big sunfiower
In the field the sunflowers are sown in
rows like the 'drilled corn" of the
Kansas farmer. and, like corn, are
cultivated and hilled up with shovel
plows. -1homaS Sters7ls' Russian Let
ter,
