A large number of merchants have signi-
fed their willingness to make a display in
the Fourth of July parade, and seventy-fve
wagons have been reserved for the occasion.
There are many other merchants who are
still hanging in the balance, and the P. o.
S. of A. committee hopes they will make up
their minds immediately, az they are about
ready to complete the list. 1t will be,
therefore, to the advantage of those not
already in to speak at once. that they NAV
be assigned good positions in the process
sion. A notice sent to A. G. Beckwith or
o. G. Dallas will be all that is necessary.
These gentlemen are working hard on the
parade and promise to give Helena on the
Fourth the biggest procession ever seen in
city. The street decorations will be an i'm
portant feature. About twenty five arches
will be placed on the streets, one at each
corner over which the procession will pass.
There will be double arch at the foot of
Broadway, and on Main street they will be
illuminated at night either with gas or in
candescent lamps.

A MONSTER SEA SERPENT.
Five Men Describe "A Gigantic Monstros-
fly of Fish Trap Lake.

Five Men Describe a Gigantic Monstros-
fly of Fish Trap Lake.
A party OF five persons, all gentlemen,
arrived home from four days visit 10
Fish Trap lake, about three miles below
Galena, Ills, a place not only famous
among anglers thereabouts, but as being
the same body OF water in which was dis
covered the huge serpent fish which
created so much excitement among people
generally and discussion among naturalists
especially about ten years ago.
The intense interest which was then eI-
cited has been greatly maCniied by the
fact that this particular monster, judging
from reliable and detailed accounts that
have been received, has again made its APP
pearance, and was seen by every one Of the
five gentlemen comprising the party above
referred to on the afternoon Of the day
previous to their departure for home.
I'VE were out in the middle Of the lake
trolling for salmon and pike, said one Of
the number on being questioned, "and
were drifting along almost imperceptibly
on its perfectly smooth surface toward the
western extremity, propelled by the light
breeze prevailing from the east, when sud
denly the water about Us became fearfullv
agitated. the boat commenced 20 heave and
rock. and we were wondering with
blanched faces what could be the cause Of
the phenomenon when, before a single
word could be uttered, sight presented
itself which not one Of Us will ever forget
to our dying day, though we live to be as
old as Methuselah.

narrator in response TO an inquiry Yes.

When Tenderfeet are Dangerous.

1.-THE man to be feared for the trouble
that he can make in fight in the west is
not the dead shot who has killed dozen
men," said an old timer from Arizona at
the Midland, ''but the young blood, com
bination of the cowboy and the tenderfoot.
The former is generally quick, cool and
level headed, and when he shoots he shoots
to kill. The latter is in hurry to get into
a fight, and will never listen to reason or
common sense. The moment he gets into
trouble he thinks it his duty to draw re
volver and commence shooting. He may
possibly hit the man he is trying to kill
He is more likely to hit some one else. He
is like the fool friend we are constantly
praying to be delivered from. His capacity
for mischief is unbounded, but his plans
for getting out of scrape are never well
matured and are sure to fall through.

Just as she was about going out she

she wanted. Then, as quick as flash, be-

VO1apuk Rivaled by H1geon chSAeH'
'Volapuk has a vigorous rival in the
Chinook jargon, which is the medium OF
communication between about fifty tribes,
who would otherwise be utterly unable to
understand one another"
This was said by DR.. G. E. Bevin, OF
Portland, Oregon.
"This language is not hundred years
old. but it is now in current use over
vast territory in Oregon, British Column
bia and Alaska. It originated because of
the great number of distinct languages in
this region It was impossible to do much
business along the Pacific coast until
trade language of easy form had gradually
formed itself. think that Horatio Hale,
at one time member of the United States
exploring expedition, was about the first
to devote any attention to this subject.
He drew up vocabulary of about $50
words OF these IS were of Nootka origin,
III were Chinook, 10 formed by onomato
poeia, 81 English, 81 French, and the re-
mainder of doubtful origin. In 1868 the
vocabulary had increased to 500 words and
a simple grammar had developed Now
we often hear jargon in Oregon. There
are dictionaries of jargon, and sermons are
preached and songs are sung in the new

vice to commerce in our part of the world,

language would be practicable. Chicago
