Okanogan Smith

Kettle Falls Pioneer: Okanogan
Smith, as he is Familiarity called, is in the
city, says the Spokane Spokesman, and
he has a crow to pick with the Seattle
Press Times the next time he goes to
Seattle. That paper accuses him of con-
demnng Governor Laughton and the
geological survey. Mr.. Smith says he
never saw a Press-Times reporter, and
declares the interview is purely and
simply a fake. AS a member of the legis-
lature from Okanogan county, one of
the greatest mining countries in
the state, he strongly favored
the appropriation for geo.
logical survey of the state and worked in
dustTiously to get the bill passed, but he
does not think much of State Geologist
Bethune. Perhaps this is partly ex-
planned in the following from the Olym
pia Tribune:
"Okanogan Smith is doing some tall
talking against Lieutenant-G Governor
Laughton. Okanogan Smith, it must be
remembered, is Democrat and his party
was handsomely whipped three years age
when Governor Laughton was elected to
the territorial legislature from the new
county, OkanOgan, which he had been in
strumental in forming. Smith has some
mines in the Okanogan county which
Laughton and Bethune do not think are
| worth much"

A Visit to Bellingham Bay

Friday Harbor Islander: Many islands,
nice dwellings, ranches, and places of in
terest were passed ere Belingham bay
was reached. including the lair of the
famous smuggler Larry Kelly, on Cotton
wood. Eliza island, on Bellingham, is an
attractive point. Here, it is said, chick
ems are Matched by the million, in what a
gentleman on board called "cubulatOrS. -
The island and its numerous attractions
belong to Senator Garfield of New What
com.
Bellngham bay is almost an inland sea,
and from the east circling north to the
west, the rising land is covered with what
appears to be one large city. Fairhaven
is well laid out, with broad, even streets
planked in the centre, and wide side
walks. Fine buildings and dwellings are
observed on all sides, and The Fairhaven
brick structure, is said to be one of the
finest hotels on the coast.

An Editor's View

San Juan Graphic: On last Saturday
morning as the lines of the steamer Dis
patch were cast off and she steamed out
of the harbOr, found a jolly party of
about fifty excurSiOniStS bound for the
cities on Bellingham bay. The day was
most pleasantly spent by those on board,
by singing, social converse and in enjoy
ing the ride among the islands The
party reached home about IL o'clock p.
M, some what tired but yet well pleased
with their trip.
The merchants of Fairhaven should be
under many obligations to Captain Hens
peter of the Dispatch, for his energy and
enterprise in getting up this excursion,
| for it certainly Injured to the benefit OF
the merchants of that city, Judging from
the numerous packages of merchandise
we see coming on board. Captain Hens
peter seems to be untiring in his efforts t
work for the best interests of the people
of Bellingham bay and the islands com
posing the county of San Juan, will
whom he is doing business.

PINK SHEETS

One of the pictorial pink-sheets
printed in the East, which are speci-
ally devoted to police doings; the
organs of thugs, sluggards, thieves
and the half-world generally, lately
contained an alleged picture of an
event in Fairhaven. The picture ex-
hibited a gathering of ideal despera-
does, booted and belted outlaws, cow
boys, ETC., laden with knives and re-
volvers, clad in chapperajas and SOM
breros, long hair and all that, and one
of this delectable party is firing his
revolver at the face of a clock in the
gorgeous gambling place where all
this is supposed to have happened.
The only foundation for such a thing
lies in the fact that many months ago
a drunken fellow one evening in a
saloon in this city fired a pistol and
the ball went through a clock. There
is not a cowboy in Fairhaven and
never was-at least not in the ira
ditional garb of one of those nomads
Of the plains-there is not man in the
city who wears a belt that is visible,
for the purpose of carrying weapons,
and probably not one that thus
"cinches" himself for any purpose, ex-
cept as working men may sometimes
wear belt just as working men do in
New York, Boston or elsewhere, as a
necessary part of their dress, and not
for show, as the Eastern dude does his
summer slasher, though for the same
ostensible purpose. The people OF
Fairhaven dress just as civilized peo-
pie do everywhere from Seattle to
Paris, and there are none of the ele-
ments of fIontierism or old-time min
ing camp life here any more than
there are in the metropoll of the
East-not so much in fact.
There are thousands, yea millions
OF people in the United States and
elsehere, who see those pink-sheets
and they are largely read by the most
impressionable of people, and such
pictures as these mentioned, are mis-
leading llbels for which there should
be some punishment, and probably is
il the law against them was invoked
Anyone who would believe what that
picture would convey would of course
be impressed with the idea, that Fair
haven, instead of being one Of the
most law-abiding and well-regulateC
cities, is camp Of desperadoes
brigands and toughs and such SANDER
ers should be Indignantly reprehended
The fact is that the pink-sheets
with their salacious stories and pic
lures, their panderings to vice anC
general immortality, are a disgrace Il
the civilization of the country, and t,
embargo a book, by Tolstoi, Will,
such trash is allowed to go through
the mails, is queer, to say the least.

firm step has grown unsteady, and the
march down life's other hillside has
begun; while the shadows lengthen
toward the east of their day, they
meet again to fight their old battles
over, and to trudge through the cam
paigns of their young manhood, as old
soldiers have done'since war first beck
oned men to range themselves in

These old men are talking now in
Detroit, Of scenes from Sumpter TO
Appomattox; through Gettysburg and
Vicksburg; through Shiloh and An

Wilderness and "ninety days in
Georgia" They laugh and shake
themselves, almost as light-hearted as
ever, over pranks in camp and merry
things that occurred in the early Six
ties, and sometimes their eyes are
believed with thoughts of comrade
who fell on the dancing shadow of his
country's flag, and the same eyes
kindle when charge is men
toned, in which death-breast
ing battalions met and where
the soil beneath their feet was damp

off, the churning sounds of the grea
shells, the awful rattle Of musketry
the long-cOntinued thunder-bellowinI
Of red-breathed cannon-all the hid

THE GRAND ARMY

Yesterday the grand review of the
Grand Army of the Republic, in ma
tional encampment assembled, took
place in Detroit The telegraph dis
patches say it was the greatest turn
out since that day in May, 1865, when
Sherman's victorious legions marched
down Pennsylvania avenue in Wash
ington, having returned from the
front in the Carolnas, where the cap
ture Of Joe Johnston's army was the
last act in the greatest war drama the
nation ever saw.
What a day that was And such a
triumphal match was never seen be-
fore on earth. 1t was a mighty army
and every man was veteran soldier
though nearly all we're young men.
Every face was bronzed; every uni
form was old and worn; many were
ragged. The men carried, twisted
about them, the blankets and ponchos
that had so often made their beds
when times for rest came; beds on the
ground, sometimes on the grass or dry
dirt, often in the mud and snow. Yet
these men were in uniform for their
clothes were all alike, that is to say,
soiled, greasy, worn through, general
ly at the knees and elbows; toes stick
ing through broken shoes, hair and
boards long and unkempt, hats Of
every kind from a cut-down
plug TO shapeless fatigue
cap. Hanging to their
belts were the old tin cans with balls
OF telegraph wires, the one cooking
utensil and piece of tableware to
which every veteran chung; the uten-
sill to which nearly every well-tried
soldier had reduced hmself-barring
his felt-covered, or perhaps skinned
canteen of tin, which he never parted
with until called TO the paths Of peace
and even then often clinglng TO it unit
his dying day, or until now, IL he is moi
dead.
Then there we're the drums, MANI
broken in at their sheepskin heads
and the brass instruments Of thu
bands battered, denied and bent. AnC
the fags-the tattered and torn flags
Some of them were only flags of shred
and no patches. All were worn beyond
the semblance of flags. Some OF thu
fiagstaffs we're entirely denuded anC
some had a few soiled strips of tn,
banners Of the states and the nation
hanging to them, and some of thu
stats had been notched or splintereC
with shot But the flag was still their
for Old Glory" had been photo
graphed on every eye and imprinted
on every heart, and its spirit chung Il
the bare poles.
This tattered and battered, ragged
and bronzed army was, notwithstand
ing its worn, stained and dusty lool
to the eye, an army of heroes, a mighty
phalanx OF sovereigns, panoplied IL
the love and admiration and gratitude
of redeemed republic. 1t was {
mighty army of Americas Drawn anC
muscle and heroism, and when wa
had bowed to those heroes his SABLE
plume, they marched from the pit
ribbed fields of strife straIghtway t.
the fields of peace, and to good citizen
ship, and when more than quarter o
a century has gone; now that gra.
hairs have taken the place OF black
brown, and fair crowns; when tn

HOME FOLKS AND VISITORS

o. b. Whitmore, grand official in
structOr of the Ancient Order OF United
Workmen, who lectured last night In the
Methodist church, is a resident of Nc
Minnville, Oregon. Mr.. Whitmore is
travelling through Washington and Brit
ish Columbia in the interests of his order.
MY visit to Puget sound" said he, ''ls a
pleasure and delight. / am especially
pleased with the Lower Sound, and it
does not take much foresight to predict
that there will grow mp on Puget sound
several mighty cities in the next decade
or two. There is ine country behind
the cities, rich in natural resources, and
the latter grow even faster than the
country"
Mr.. c. T. McCotter, an old friend of
Messrs. Mayer & Smith, grocers, arrived
In Fairhaven last Saturday and left yes
terday. lie came direct from Mexico,
where he has been engaged as a division
superintendent on the Mexican Central
railroad between Tampico and San Luis
Potosi. There he took the fever that pre-
walls in that country, and went TO Mexico
City, where he was employed by the rail-
road in another capacity, but not regain
ing his health, though the company very
much disliked to loose bis services
he retired from the country and stopped
here few days, en- route to his old home
in Boston, to visit friends. He was de-
lighted with Fairhaven and will probably
return to this city and go into business
Mr.. McCotter talks IN an exceedingly in
teresting way about Mexico, as to its com
merce resources, customs, etc. As to the
latter he spoke of one custom which will
be interesting to the youngsters. He
says: "Young men In Mexico. when pay.
ing attention to the young ladies, can dc
so at very little expense. They are quit,
eager to invite them to theatres, parties
etc. And no wonder; for IL Is the Gus
tom in that country for the lady's father
to pay for the tickets, and furnish til,
carriage, etc.

High Sounding

Olympia Tribune: If there are any fe-
male organizations or societies in Wash
ington looking around for a name they
are respectfully informed that colored
ladies' benevolent society has been organ
lied at Lafayette, Indiana, with the soul
bewilderng title of The Angelic Sisters
of the Grand Holy Unicorn OF the High
Vaulting Jesokus of the Blue Dome"
Perhaps this may account for the hegira
of HOLSTERS to Puget sound.
