JUSTICE TO MARK TWAIN,

SEATTLE, Jan. L., 1890.
would like to correct an error which has
crept into telegraphie dispatch published in
today's observation-disclosures. The item is head
lined "Mark Twain's Fiiial Devotion" and
states that the celebrated author attended his
mothers funeral by telephone.
Mrs. Langdon. whose death occurred Novem-
Der 2Sth, was the mother of Mrs. Clemens Mark
Twain's own mother died two months or so ago.
and her son attended the funeral, not by proxy,
but in the flesh. Mrs. Clemens, may say, lest
she be thought lacking in filal affection, was at
her mothers bedside during the ten days of that
most estimable lady's illness, and was also pres
emit with her daughters, Misses Clara and Susie,
at the funeral, which occurred November SOth.
Mr.. Clemens was obliged to remain at home.
owing TO the serious illness of their youngest
child, and it is quite probable that be listened

First House Between Vancouver and
Astoria.
Cafhlauef zetta

The first house that was ever erected in what
is now Cathlamet was an old log house on the
Peter Johu's place. 1t was built by a colored
man by the name of Johnson, who had been
sent up from Fort Astoria by the late James Bir-
ME- to assist in the clearing OF land prior to his
settling here. This old house was the first
erected between Fort Vancouver and Fort AS
toria. The building went by the name for many
years of the "Johnson mansion" and many
were the long evenings spent, A. d. Brine says,
in front of the old log fire, telling of weird tales
by land and sea. Here all alone, away from
civilization, the nearest neighbor being thirty
miles one way and over 100 the other, surround.
ed by dense timber and savage tribes of Indians,
these early pioneers planted the banner of civil
ization and progress. Deprived of all the ties
and associations of kindred and people, they
spent the best portion of their lives redeeming
this hitherto unbroken wilderness and paving
the way for future and permanent settlement.

Snohomish County for Squire.

Der of the lpofslStursl

The senatorial contest is fast becoming bur
iesque, and it is very evident that Pierce county
still continues TO oppose senator sQuire's cleo
ton simply from pure 'scussedness," and not
from any hope OF winning. That Squire will be
elected is almost q certainty. 1t would be an
everlasting shame TO the state If the legislature
should overthrow an old and faithful citizen for
man, who, Notwithstanding his statesman

Manufacture of Sturgeon Oil.
Cathlamet Gazette

Before us is sample of sturgeon Oil made by
Hans Jacobson from sturgeon offal. The heads
OF the fish are first boiled into jelly, then
slowly rendered and the oil extracted. The
sample we have is as fine quality of oil as can
be produced. When refined it is as clear as
amber and without trace OF cumming In
point of body it somewhat resembles sperm oil,
which is considered the most valuable of all
lubricants. This small but practical demonstra-
ton of what can be done with sturgeon refuse
only tends as an incentive to Mr.. Jacobson to
continue his efforts in this direction, believing
that with intelligent and careful handling good
returns for his labor can be obtained.

very men who are crying "boodle" would steal
the senator's entire sack If they got a chance.
Squire has proven himself a friend of the West

dared to differ with his party on this most i'm
portant question. He is man of ability, in
tegrity and independence. He will succeed
himself in the nations senate.

Efforts of the Lilliputians.

The efforts OF the Calkins men are now being
directed to create deadlock in the hope that it
will result in the defeat of Squire They recog-
nize that Squire is by long odds the leading
candidate, and deadlock is their only hope.
At this writing 1t is not doing Calkins en- inius-
tce to say that if the election were to be held at
once Squire would be returned to the Senate on
the first ballot.

entitled to take part in our national as
sembly except national officers and the
board of trustees with members Of the
judiciary and finance committees, on &C
count of the failure Of the different
states where our organization has been
planted to organize state assemblies.
Realizing the injustice that would be
done to have our national assembly re-
strlcted as our constitution at present
would restrict it, sent out circular
letter and have received responses from
nearly all Of our national officers and
permanent workers In the organization,
all of whom instructed me to call the
national meeting together at ST. Louis on
the Goth of February, 1892.
The work to be done at this meeting Of
our general assembly will be the election
of national officers for the ensuing year;
to elect twenty-five delegates TO the In
dustrlal Council Of industrial organizs-
tions that meets on February %, In st.
Louis; to revise our constitution and by
laws, ritual, secret work, and to make
such changes in our organization as the
general assembly shall deem necessary.
The representation as fixed by the
board of organization to our general as
sembly and the membership Of our gen.
eral assembly will consist Of the national
officers, executive board Of trustees,
finance and judiciary committees of the
national assembly, elected at our last
meeting, and one delegate from each To-
Cal assembly and one delegate for every
additional fifty members belonging to
any such local assembly chartered be-
fore February 10, 1892. No delegate will
be allowed to cast the vote OF any other
delegate or to hold proxies to vote for
another assembly than his own, and no
assembly will be entitled to representa-
tion or can have Its delegate admitted to
the general assembly when such local as
sembly is in arrears for dues to the ma
tional assembly, and this condition OF
representation is Imperative. With the
many local assemblies Of our organiza-
ton that we have, scattered over the diff
ferent states Of the union from Maine to
California and from Washington to
Florida, our meeting, il every assembly
which Is entitled to representation sends
delegate, will be a very large one
and our expenses large, and our as
semblies must pay their dues before they
can be admitted to representation, so
that the national assembly will be able
to meet all expenses growing out Of the
national meeting. During the past year
Of our existence we have made gigantic

AS our Citizens Alliance is the only
