"There was Mr.. Bogart,
With very hard heart,
On poor widows claim he tried to file
He thought her to scare,
And to catch in snare,
But twas only bluff all the while.
He was witty at law,
But no good with a SAW,
The axe he dill handle in vain.
He ate bad bologna,
And sneaked to Tacoma,
l guess he won't try it again.

Spuds! spuds! Ye gods, give us spuds!
For years we have been scolding our
rarchers for not planting more potatoes.
There has not bcen year in the last
seven when potatoes have been less than IA
cent IA pound. and at this writing are
three cents a pound. Potatoes can be
produced at the rate CT not less than four
hundred bushels 10 the acre. Sometimes
six hundred. AT 400 bushels per acre ii
yield of $4,000 pounds would be realized,
Civ ing, at 2112 cents per pound $500 per
acre for the labor and profit of the
ranchcr. At l cent pound little vest
pocket fec of $240 sn acre would be re-
allied, and at = cent $3.50. Now, as a
rule, ranchers are a stubborn class OF pco-
pie who do not like to be dictated TO, and
we don't expect more than one rarchcr
out of ten to follow the ADVICE of the Pho
necr, so we will let the other nine fellows
go it and talk to the one. Ii one out of
ten will follow the advice of the Pioneer
and plant from one to five acres of
"spuds," he will have reason to thank Us
for hts next Christmas gift, and will h We
abundant reason to laugh at the other
nine fellows who didn't follow the advice
so honestly given.-Silney Pioneer.

was cut from complete piece OF about
1000 feet in length, made by the Siwash
from tibres Of the roots of cedar trees.
These fibres are twisted into strands and
the strands into one ifm and strong rope,
equal in strength to an inch rope OF best
hemp manufacture. This rope was made
and used for the purpose of securing and
landing the body of large whale which
ffoated ashore TN the ocean beach off this

and about the big carcass and hundreds
of seal bladders attached, by which means

nice little sums by occasional sales of
the curiosity demanded. You see the obi
story about the bucks that fall TO fighting

to death, has taken strong hold upon the
romantic natures of many people, and if
they can only get "A set of locked horns

select nice horns that correspond Us
TO size, and by the use of twistei cord
and case spring them together as if lock-
ed in their death embrace by the madden

account of their great rarity and the
difficulty in finding them, they are sold to
the rich curiosity hunter for a big price.
His friends look in wonder and envy at
them, while he recOunts the story told
him by the guide who found their skelc-
tons held together by tbs horns and the
earth all trodden down around the place
so solidly that vegitaton had not grown

In order to protect the manufacturer
