face the artesian we'll has teen grand success
Wherever one has been sunk it has seldom

BalIard,s Natural Beauties.

Ballard has more green lawns and commons
than any other location i'll the county. The
eastern part of the town is profusion of green
swards and new houses. 1t is by far the pref
test portion Of the city, and from the number of
new buildings that arc going up we judge that
it is to be the most thickly settled part of the
town. Ballard has fine location for a town.
site. 1t is dry and level, with no hills, and has
easy communication with Seattle.

BUSY BALLARD.


Billiards. Industries.
All the mills at Ballard are now running full
time, and as natural result it makes times
lively in that town. Nearly all the men en-
ployed have families, and most of these live on
their own property or are expecting to build
this summer. man who lives in Ballard has
an excellent chance to make himself indepen-
dent and comfortable by taking advantage OF
the steady increase OF property values there. 1t
requires natural resources and something in ad-
dition to human energy to build up town like
Ballard and the fact that it has grown from a
sawmill and forest into good sized manufac-
turing town all in year and half demon
strates that Ii has a substantial foundation.

The following letter was written by COM
rade and subscriber during tho late Indian
troubles at the Pine Ridge Agency, s. ID. The
situation, as described by the comrade, was not
the pleasautest imaginable; but We will LET him
speak for himself:
EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: While sitting
by my fire all alone tonight, my family as refu-
gees IN town nine miles away and the cussed
Indian war going on at or near the Pine Ridge
Agency, 80 miles 20 the northeast, on the same
Pine Ridge that my cabin is located, thought
] would compare situations with our Eastern
friends, who have but little idea of what il is
TO be in our situation.
One week ago last Monday we were aroused
at the hour Of midnight and told that orders
had come 20 notify the settlers on the Ridge
ana Beaver Valley 10 seek a place Of safety.
80, alter consulting an hour or so, we hitched
up the team, piled in a few necessarics and lit
out Tor town, nine miles southeast When we
arrived there we found tho town crowded with
teams, the churches and private dWellings filed
with refugees OF all ages; in fact, We found one
only five hours old, that had been brought the
distance Of six miles with its mother.
People in the East, who have all the necessa-
RES oi life, many of them rolling in luxury,
can realize but little how IL is in this part Of
the country. During the past two years ex-
cessive drouth, very many have been entirely
burned out by prairie and timber fires, aud
now comes the Indian trouble in tho dead Of
winter; al kinds OF feed scarce aud high,
money al! gone, aud no chance 10 earn more /;
stock only half price. women all discouraged
and hourly expecting some rowing band Of
maddened, ghost-dancing savRges TO drop in

Ice an the war Of the rebellion, but must say Of

rather than crazy redskins. Our local press
says but little about the situation, as many Of

haven't time, while many don't wish % pub

time were very exciting. The Goth Pa. Cav,

companies were doing picket duty at Bath, or

occurrence happened at this time which as q
genuine scare beats anything ever witnessed.

good man. gave out that he would conduct a
meeting at the church ia the villsgeOn Sunday
evening. The towns people we're there-Old
men and women, some cO!Ored folks, aud sol
diers. The house was quite full. The Captain
commenced the services at once by reading tho
Scriptures, followed by feryent prayer. While
the invocation WAS going on, bang bang
bang! went three shots in quick succession,
which appeared TO be very near the church.
Everybody WAS on their feet in an instant aud
rushing for the door, one old man shouting :
"It's Moseby," which seemed 20 ill them all

one leap from the pulpit in a wild rush for the

steps In front OF the church. and tine people
