ON LAKE AND RIVER.


Maurice McMckcn returned last night from
months trip with party of friends into British
Columbia and the northern part of Washington,
east OF the Cascade mountains The party con-
sisted besides Mr. McMi ken OF George A War
der, of Oakland, Cal. vice commodore OF the
American Canoe Association; Captain Z. NJ. Carr,
of Seattle: DR.. J. j. Miller of San Jose, Cal, and
the cook, Charles Titus. They were absent
Just month from Seattle.
The party left the Canadian Pacific railway at
Sieamous, on the Shuswap like, to which place
they had shipped three Peterborough canoe e
From there they went about fifty miles by POI
tage to Lake okanogan, where they embarked
for ninety mile sail along the length of that
magnificent lake Eight days were spent there
in hunting and fishing. They then started down
the Okanogan river, passing through Dog lake
and Swan lake to Lake Osoyoos which is on the
line between British Columbia and Washington
From Lake OsOyoos they portrayed across thirty
miles OF mountains to Rock Greek camp, on
Kettle river, which river they decended $50
miles to the Columbia river, opposite Marcus.
Then they went to Spokane by the Spokane &
Northern railway.
''The trip covered 100 miles of lake sailing"
said Mr.. McMicken last night, ''and about 225
miles of river running. We only Travelled three
four hours a day, hunting or fishing the rest
OF the time. If we liked place we would stop
several days.
1--WE caught any amount of trout and bagged
all the game We wanted, such as prairie
chickens, grouse, ducks, pheasants and deer 1t
was no trick to kill fifteen or twenty pheasants
in afternoon, and once We secured twenty
five in two hours.
THE scenery was magnificent, and the
weather could not have been better. The coun-
try through which passed fairly well
settled up, though much OF it is long way
from railroads. The Spailumeheen valley. nor III
OF LaAe okanogan, is apparently exceedingly
rich. Mission valley. east of the same lake, is
pretty well settled also The ranches look fine,
but the principal business. of course. is raising
cattle. At "O&apog n smiths ranch We saw
fine peaches and ether fruits in abundance.
The Colville Indian reservation, which con-
tains S0oo, 900 acres of land, is fine country for
farming and some OF the Indians are good
farmers"
Mr.. McMicken is much tanned by his outdoor
life on the trip. and the outing has been very
profitable one physically TO ali the members OF
the party, though none OF them have reached
Seattle yet except Mr.. McMicken. The descent
of Kettle river, with its many rapids and falls
was thrilling experience that will never be
forgotten by any of the party. Mr. Warder has
gone East, Mr.. Miller 10 California and Mr. Carr
viii arrive in few days.

Eats Nails and Tacks - Trying t
 Commit Suicide - His Case Hope

Eats Nails and Tacks Trying to
 less.
 HARTFORD, April 4.-Joseph Gum, aged eighteen, was taken from the jail to the hospital this afternoon to be treated for most peculiar trouble. For three months past Gum has been eating nails and tacks whenever he could secure them.
 His stomach is full of metal. His object
 was probably suicide. He is very low
 and his death hourly expected. He is
 serving years sentence for burglary.
 Gum broke into Fritz Barbe's cafe un-
 der Proctor's opera house and stole 8
 quantity of cigars. Three months ago he
 was committed to jail for one year for this offense.
 His agony has been great for weeks past. The discovery of his scheme to commit suicide was revealed recently to Rev. Father Leddy, who came in response to the young mans request. Gum stated that he began two years ago to swallow iron filings. That was when he worked in the Hartford Screw shop and he was l led to do it in imitation of the s'human ostrich" whom he saw one time when he was in dime museum in New York. He afterward swallowed iron filings and chips | and tacks at the shop just to astonish his ! shopmates. The heaviest piece of metal | he ever swallowed was screw, an inch long, which he gulped down a few weeks ago and which it is supposed is partly the cause of his suffering
