Dental procession, or swing around the

of the Harrison family. The Plumed
Knight is fouted by the creatures he

there was a man who was devoured by
the thirst for second term it is Ben

In insulting and attempting to belittle
his creator he has taken the very worst
plan to accomplish that result. The

LACK of enterprise on the part OF the
property holders on Main street is re-
sponsible for much of the daily dimin-
ishing business activity on that
thoroughfare. Naturally it ought to be,
what its name implies, the principal

rock pavements with asphalt may do
something to help out the business be-
tween Temple junction and First street,

THE Riverside Press says that there
is very loud complaint amongst orange
growers about the high assessment
placed upon fruit trees. One owner de-
clares that the assessment placed upon
his trees has been raised 63 per cent
over that of last year. 1t is bad enough
that growing fruit trees should be amen
able to assessment at all; but when it
comes to such exorbitant increases as
are shown above, the thing is positively
outrageous.

A FORGER TRAPPED.

Bogus Check Signed Shepard, Henry 6
Co. Detected After Several In
staiIments Were Paid.

William HIGHLAND, tall, slender young man,
who Claimed the occupation of bookkeeper, was
arrested yesterday morning by Officer Leckie
upon a charge OF forging the firm name Of
Shepard, Henry & Co. to check for $6475.
For some time past HIGHLAND, who has been
drinking heavily, has made his headquarters at
the Chicago hotel, and represented that he was
in the employ of Shepard, Henry & Co., rail-
road contractors, who have offices in the Halter
building. He always paid his bills promptly
in cash at the hotel until few even
ings since, when he presented check
for $6475, signed by Shepard, Henry & Co.
ana asked for loan on it for day or two The
clerk suspected nothing wrong and let him have
the money. He subsequently, was given several
smaller sums on the check When he asked for
another loan yesterday morning it occurred to
the clerk that before any more money was paid
out 1t would be wise policy to learn If the
cheek was genuine. Accordingly an employe OF
the hotel was sent to the Puget Sound National
bank, on which the money was drawn, and the
check was presented to the paying teller. The
teller suspected that the check was a forgery
and, telephoning to Shepard, Henry & Co.. he
learned definitely that they did not know any
person named HIGHLAND, nor did they ever issue
check to him for any amount
Complaint was Immediately made at police
headquarters, and Officer Leckie was detailed TO
make the arrest He watched the Chicago hotel
for Hogland to show up, and when the young
man finally did appear at II O'Clock the officer
attempted TO catch him. HIGHLAND evaded him
and started down Railroad avenue as fast as he
could run, but Leckie succeeded in catching
him after chase of several blocks. HIGHLAND

and Wenatchee valleys will soon become
renowned not only in the Sound cities but
throughout the states for the fine quality,

of the peaches produced in that region.

fact that the peach crop was never known

We went TO Port Crescent on our way to the

started for the headwatcr the next day. We
found evidences of plenty OF bear and elk. but

PosToFFIcEs OF ALASKA.
One I'm the Far North-TraveIs in Orient
City water-world's Fair
Coast Survey.

Mr.. r. r. Munro, the postofiice inspector, Is in
this city, having Just returned from trip to
Alaska, where he has been inspecting the Offices
as far as Sitka. "This is the first inspection
since 1885," said he yesterday, "for Alaska is so
far off that the postoffice department has not
deemed il worth while to go to the expense and
trouble OF providing frequent inspection.
"There are thirteen postofices in the territory.
The route between Port Townsend and Sitka
has seven and between Fort wrangel and How
can two. Between Sitka and 0unalaska is the
third route, with four offices. These receive a
monthly mail during the summer.
"All of these offices except those at si.ka, Ju-
neau and Douglas are in stores OF offices OF vari-
GUS companies, but at the three places men
toned there are regular separate postoffices.
That at Sitka is pretty and well kept. Juneau
and Douglas are money order Offices. and shall
recommend that Sitka also be made one. All
three belong to the fourth-class.
"The most northerly postoffice OF the United
States is at Chilcat at about 59l5 degrees OF lati
sude The mail is handled there in the Office of
the Pyramid Harbor Packing Company, three or
four miles across the bay from Chilcat proper.
There is complaint that everyone is so busy
when the mail steamer comes in the Chilcat
people have some difficulty in getting
{ heir mail. There are two companies
on the bay, the Chilcat Salmon Packing Com
pany and the Pyramid company mentioned.
There is squabble as to who shall be post
master, aud where the Office shall b.. AS soon
as the people can settle the trouble the Office
will either be moved to Chilcat proper, or Chill
cat will be given another one.
ssMail is sent irregularly TO point yet further
north, Mitchell, a place up in the interior of
Alaska, where Forty Mile creek empiies into the
Yukon river. This camp, which lies in min
ing country, is al latitude about 6f15. Mail is
taken part way by the Alaska Commercial Com
pany, and miner or whoever is going that way
carries ii the rest of the distance
"The Office farthest west is at Ounalaska, on
the island OF that name, lying ont beyond the
tip OF the Alaskan peninsula. This spot is at
167 degrees of west longitude. The distance
from sitka by straight line is about go lies,
though the steamer, by following the long
curve of the coast, travels 800 miles,"
Mr.. Munro says that Professor Israel C. Rus
sell and his party have come down out OF the
Mount st. Elias region. They will be brought
TO sitka by the Pinta, and from Sitka will come
TO Seattle by the City OF Topeka, the regular
steamer.
