Tributary to Grays harbor is timber
belt that is without comparison, perhaps
anywhere, within ready reach of the
worlds market. The Chehalis river
flows through twelve town ships timbered
with splendid frs pruce and hemlock.
Into the Chehalis flows numerous tribu-
taries draining large areas.
Flowing into Grays harbor proper,
from the north are the Wiskah, Hoquiam
and Humptulips rivers and Chenois and
Typso creek. From the south there are
Charlie, Neuskah, Johns and Elk rivers.
These streams traverse or drain no less
then sixty-two townships, or 1884 square
miles, which is nearly all timbered and
which timber these streams are capable
OF bringing to the mills OF the Harbor.
North OF Gray's Harbor is stretch Of
country comprising 1892 square miles, ex :
tending to the straits of Fuca and in a
measure cut off from the sound by the
Olympic mountains. This region, the
people of Grays Harbor claim to be
naturally tributaries to them when COM
munication by rail is furnished.
OF the streams emptying into Gray s
Harbor the Chehalis,' the Wiskah and
the Hoquiam are navigable for some dis
lance.

KEMNILER DEAD.
Executed by Electricity.

William Kemmler was judicially
murdered ut Auburn, New York,
Wednesday morning by electricity.
The execution vas not an immediate
SUCCESS, as tho first shock did not
produce death, and after the victim
Was subjected to a shock OF 1000
volts for ten seconds it was found
that life was not extinct, and again
the current was turned on, the dynamo
running to it's full speed and indicat
ing current of 1000 volts which was
sent through the body. The sight
was siokenlng in the extreme and one
man tainted at the horrible sight of
the death agonies OF the unfortunate
victim. The excitement was so great
that no one knows exactly the time
occupied in CO .npletiug the execution.
DR.. Daniel, who thought he had an
approximate idea of the time at least,
said it was four and a half minutes
in all. The Warden's assistant, who
stood over the dynamo, said on the
second signal the machinery run only
three and half minutes altogether
The crime for which Kemmler was
convicted was the brutal murder Of
his paramount, Mrs. Tillie Ziegler, in
Buffalo, N. Y, on March 90, 1882.
The two lived together about a year
and half, and had very frequent
quarrels. Kemmler says he was often
drunk, and that the woman drank
also, although he never saw her
drunk. The night before the murder
he became 80 thoroughly crazed with
drink that he was prepared for the
heinous crime. He struck her on the
head with Ratchet. He was arrested
and taken to tho station house. The
woman died next day in the hospital.
While in the station house he was
piled with liquor and became very
talllative and told OF the crime, vir-
tually convicting himself.

Work for the Alliance.

THEY are already taking up the
question Of storage, and through CO.
operative measures they can do
much to relieve the crowded condi-
ton of the market by holding back
their crops. The influence of this
policy will not be felt, however, I'M
less it becomes general, not only
throughout Kansas, but in all of
the great wheat and corn producing
states; and this is the object at
which the Alliance ultimately aims
It's power for protection seems to
be illimitable, if it is only intelli-
gently exercised and is not frittered
away and destroyed in the pursuit
Of politics and other side issues.
The grange contemplated whole
some reforms, but its detection from
the line on which it started proved
its destruction. The Alliance with
such an example before it should ex-
ercise prompt care in steering clear
of the evils which already begin to
menace it. By combining itself en-
tirely to the consideration of eco
nomic problems and to those ques-
tions which interest the tiller of the
soil in practical way, and then by
exercising the broadest liberty Of
action without party restraint, the
organization can be made an agency
of emancipation to the farmer and
an instrument of supreme power in
his hands.
There are many lines of study and
information which can be pursued
by the Alliance with great profit to
the farmer. 4 knowledge of the
yield and consumption of different
products of the soil and the demand
which the markets of the world are
making upon the sections devoted
to the culture of the great common
cereals would be of invaluable al
vantage to the persons engaged in
and the proposition TO
a grand central agency
from which such Intelligence could
be disseminated seems to be in line

A Bill has been introduced in
the house of representatives by Con-

pointment of fourth-class postmaS-

shall be divided by the postmaster
general into districts of convenient
size, and that post office inspector
be designated for each district to
act in the capacity of examiner
Whenever a fourth class postmaster
is to be appointed within any of
these districts due notice shall be
given, by publication, of this fact,
and the location of the post-office,
the compensation of the postmaster
and other appropriate information,
for the benefit of applicants. Can
didates for the position must, with
their application papers, furnish a
certificate signed by three citizens,
declaring their belief that the appli-
cant is a suitable person for the Of
flee, but state and federal officehold-
ers are prohibited from signing
such petitions. All papers are to
be sent to the postmaster general by
the inspector, with the applicants
graded in the order of their fitness
for the Office as shall appear to the
inspector from his examination and
information, and one of the appli-
cants named shall be appointed by
the postmaster general. The bill
provides that appointments shall
not be made on political grounds
and that no appointment of a fourth
class postmaster shall be absolute
until he has served one year on pro-
baton. Whether the scheme in
yolved in this bill is practical is
