HARBOR LINE WORK.
Progress of the Various Surveys and
Maps.

Senator Frank H. Richards, of What
com, arrived at the Diller hotel last night
from Olympia, where he has been attend
ing meeting of the harbor line commits
sion. He said, in regard to the work of
the board and its engineers: THE surveys
at Tacoma are practically completed, and
the maps will be done by September %.
"The Gray's harbor surveys will be fin
ished in few days more, for all is done
except in front of Cosmopolis. Although
there is a comparatively small population
in the harbor, there are nevertheless
twenty-eight miles of shore line to be gone
over.
Surveys at Olympia are done, but the
maps are incomplete.
There Is about thirty days work at
Port Townsend for Captain J. J. Gilbert
and his men. They have been there a
week already
1.-The Bellingham bay harbor line is
fixed, and there is general satisfaction
except on the part of the Fairhaven Land
Company. The paper of that corporation
has uttered loud protest, but | think the
objection is to me personally rather than
to the lines.
The Blaine lines are laid and seem to
give satisfaction. | believe that the local
board OF tide land appraisers there has
organized for work.
The company interested in Port Gard
ner is very anxious to have the lines at
Edmonds settled so that the tide land at
Port Gardner can be appraised and sold
We expect to reach Edmonds in the course
of the fall"

DRIVEN BY AGONY.
Terrible Suferings of an Injured Sno-
guaImie Logger.

Edward Frye, logger, employed at La
Balaster's camp near Snoqualmie, came to
Providence hospital yesterday afternoon
suffering from severe cut three inches
above his left knee.
Two weeks ago Frye and several other
workmen were barking log. One of the
men was working a short distance ahead
of Frye, and as he brought the AK down
upon the log his hands slipped and
the sharp instrument flew back,
striking Frye in the left leg,
just above the knee. The blade
sunk to the bone, cutting a chord and
causing great loss of blood. The injured
man was taken to camp, where the wound
healed rapidly. He went to work about
five days ago and the cut was reopened.
Cold set in and the limb commenced to
swell. For four days the pain was in
tense. Sleep was impossible, and at last
in desperation, he started for Seattle and
arrived in the city yesterday afternoon.
Thirteen miles We're made on horseback
and he suffered intense pain at every step
of the horse.

AVENGED HIS FAMILY
Antony, the Klickitat, Yields
the Knife on Charlie.
The Insane Jealousy of q Drunken
Brave Brings About an Exciting
Fight-A Wounded Stole.

The wounded family pride Of a noble
Klickitat in the hop-picker's camp at sno-
qualmie has caused him to seek the death
Of the man who has dared TO pay atten-
tons to one of the women of his house.
The offenders wigwam was cut - pieces,
and his arms and shoulders were slashed
with the avengers knife.
Antony, the aggressor, was brought to
the city yesterday by Constable Z. E. Glib
bons, and lodged in the county Jail. The
injured man, Charlie, also accompanied
him. and was taken to Providence hos
pltal, to have his wounds cared for.
Both Indians are members Of large
party from east of the mountains, who are
encamped at Snoqualmie during hop-pick-
ing time. A woman who Is relative OF
of the prisoner was the cause of the trou-
bic, her kinsman claiming that Charlie
had paid her undue attentions. Charlie
and his friends deny the charge
as he had Just taken another
woman as his bride. On Satur-
day night Antony loaded up with fire.
water and went on the warpath. With
his knife ne made an onslaught on the
wigwam where Charlie was sleeping with
his sguaw, who had only been chosen as a
companion that day. After sitting the
wigwam almost into pieces, the drunken
brave chased everybody out of camp with
his knife, but was finally quieted down.
Yesterday morning, as Charlie was re-
turning from a fishing trip with his bride,
Antony attacked him with a long, two
edged knife, such as Indians carry. Both
men were on horseback and a desperate
struggle ensued. Charlie had no weapon,
and made every effort to get away, but was
pursued too closely bv his Infatuated as
sailant, who slashed him again and again
across the arms and shoulders At length
the pursued man turned and grappled
with his opponent, holding him by the
waist to prevent the wicked thrusts at his
face from taking effect. The combatants
then jumped from their horses and the
struggle was renewed on foot. Finally the
other Indians interferred and disarmed
Antony, who was afterward arrested by
Constable Gibbons.
The Indians concerned in the affair are
Klckitats, and are far better specimens of
manhood than. the wretched siwash along
the Sound. The wounded man, who Is
stOically enduring the pain of his cuts,
which were not even bound up, looked
every inch brave, wrapped up in his
gaudy blanket. His wounds are severe,

RETAIL GROCERs' COMBINE.
Puget Sound Merchants Review" Says
1t Was Formed.

In regard TO the report in the evening
paper that the organization of Grocers'
Exchange was false the Puget Sound
Merchants RerielO will say editorially, on
the 18th:
The Press Times OF Saturday contained an
article declaring that the organization OF a Re
tail Grocers Exchange the evening previous
was false, and gave authority the names OF
Knox S Damn, P. l.. RunkeI, c. Aprahams, L.
sanborn, Haley & Glenn and Kemp & Co. These
gentlemen declare that they know nothing OF
this meeting or had ever received call to at
tend. Considering the fact that a call was pub
lished in both the morning papers, as well as
the evening paper and the Puget Sound Merchants
ReUleII. il leads one to have grave suspicious as
to whether the gentlemen read the papers. Two
OF these firms, however, were notified in person
by gentleman who attended the meeting and
three Of the men named signed the call. Alto
gether there seems to be little excuse for them
not being aware that meeting had been called
As the organization was not fully completed
Friday evening it was agreed that the names of
the officers De withheld until the meeting on
Tuesday, September II.
1t can now be stated that the meeting was en-.
thusiastic, and each member pledged himself
to active service in solidifying the organization
and charging the membership OF the exchange
The list OF officers is as follows: y A. White.
president: J. W. Kahle, vice president: l. W,
Common, secretary; N. :. Smith treasurer
1t is hoped the gentlemen making the state
ment in the evening paper are not antagonistic
to the organization OF the exchange and we
trust to see their names numbered among its
members. All grocers are earnestly requested
to come forward, and by this means lend their
aid TO the advancement OF the trade

NEW ORLEANS MAFIA.
A story of the Italians Twenty-Five
Years Ago.


Mr. John s. Welles, Miss Griffin and
Miss l.. Griffin. of New Orleans, who are
on pleasure trip TO the Pacific coast,
were al the Rainier hotel yesterday. Mr.
Welles. though born in Baltimore. has
lived for forty-eight years in New Orleans,
and is one Of the leading men of the city
In speaking of the Malta trouble in New
Orleans, he said: ''The excitement has
wholly died away-indeed, 1T was over as
soon as the men were put to death-and
the Sicilians are behaving themselves and
creating no disturbance.
''Such an example was what they
needed. They had been killing each other
for forty years, but they kept the thing in
the family. so TO speak. Then they began
on outsiders. The acquittal OF the Italian
murderers at the famous trial was clearly
the result of bribery. Something had TO
be done in order to secure proper punish
ment, and the citizens of New Orleans
did it.
''In handling such men frmness is
what is needed. | recall that twenty-five
years ago a creole named Younis was
chief of the police He had some sympa-
thy with the Italians. and could speak
their language with facility. One day I
saw him talking in the street with one of
the Italians. During all of the conversa-
ton Younis held in his hand a small
knife. The blade was open, and he kept
twirling the weapon around and around
in his fingers, evidently making a slight
display of it. When the two men stopped
talking. | said to Younis, That was rather
a strange interview you had
YES he replied, that man had
threatened to kill me on sight. | kept my
knife open before his eyes, and he knew
that If he made the first move TO iniure me
would instantly plunge the knife into
his heart
That simply illustrates, added Mr..
Welles, ''the way such people must be
treated ~

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

IF you can increase the wood pile
these fine days, it will increase the fine
fire on cold ones.
IT would be we'll if we had more holi-
days on the farm. Just as much work
would be done at the end of the year.
A holiday well spent gives vigor and en-
thusi:lsm.
The National Department of Agri-
culture says that the average yield of
corn in the United States will be 1919
bushels per acre; of potatoes, SIS; of
hay, l.2o tons.
FARMERS get many valuable hints
f.om one another in the discussion
about farming that they naturally fall
into when they get together and away
from work. Let us have more neigh
borbood gatherings and more Institutes.
SECURE better highways-highway
upon which your products can be taken
more cheaply over the first stages of
your journey to the consumer. After
you have done this you may engage in
the reform of railways and commission
men.

markets at least, sure plan for keep

cold,
Are you weary Of hattery's scorp!
Alas, for the days when the passions of youth
Burn low in the desolate heart!
When the laughter and tears Of our innocent

And the hideous mIen Of indulgence is seen
Meath the dattering mantle Of art!
Perhaps you've tried friendship, and only havs
Deception and selashness rife;
Perhaps you have poured to the needy your

And fame up from smoldering fire!

Hover near her with eager delight;
