Can This be True

An old friend, who has Just return
ed from tour of the new Western
States, tells me, says asst. Louis Repub.
lie man, that there is an UNEMPLOYED
region in the State of Washington
which is as unknown as theinterior of
Africa. 1t is the country shut in by
the Olympic Mountains and includes
an area of about $500 square miles,
being some 400 miles greater in ex-
tent than the whole State Of Della
ware.
This trackless waste, to the positive
knowledge of old residents Of the
State, has never been trodden by the
foot of man, white or Indian. The
mountains mentioned rise from the
level country to within ten or fifteen
miles of the Straits of San Juan de
Fuca, and, towering to a height of
5000 to 5000 feet, shut in this vast
UNEMPLOYED area.
The Indians fear the spot as the
Javans do their "Poison Valley"
and say that no man, white or red,
can cross the great basin inclosed by
the Olympic Mountains and live to
tell the story of this exploration,
But the atmosphere of this American
wonderland is not poisonous; neither
is the tangled jungle the home O
wild, fierce beasts or dangerous ser
penis; the Indians simply claim tina
it is inhabited by race of men whC
are so fierce that no representative o
the white or red man nations coul,
stand before them for a moment
Being uueXplored no one can ever
guess at what the physical aspect o
this great silent wilderness is. Tn
most generally accepted theory in re
gard to it is that it consists of grea
valleys stretching from the inwar,
slopes of the mountain to great cen
trail basin.
This story is supported by the fac
that, although the country aroun
: has abundant rain, all of the stream
flowing toward the four points of tn
compass are insignificant and ris
only on the outer slopes of the range
: none appearing to drain the gres
y tract shut in by the mountains
j. This fact supports the theory that tn
streams flowing from the innt
slopes of the mountains feed a gre;
: interior lake. But what drains I'll
lake? 1t must have an outlet; can
be that this outlet is through a sui
>. terranean river which emplies int
:; the ocean, strait, or sound?
Evidently there is room for muC
exploration and a chance to mai
l.; many new discoveries in Washing

That Lake Which is Forming in the
Colorado Basin.

That Colorado desert basin the
press dispatches speak of as filling
with water from a subterranean pas
sage is a wonderful thing. 1t is in
the southwestern end of California,
butting up against the Colorado river
and the Arizona. The Southern Pa
cific road crosses it. One hundred
miles of its track is in the desert.
There is absolutely no evidence Of
life about it except just in the centre
at point over 200 feet below the sea
level. where a company mines salt.
There has been no water or vegeta.
ton of any kind in the desert. Even
the trains have to haul tank cars
to carry water for the engines
across this sand bed. They also car
ry tanks of water each day to the salt
mines.
1t is simply bed of loose and ever
shifting white sand 100 miles across,
sometimes the sands blow up ten feet
deep on the railroad track from
which it has to be shoveled off, and
again blows out from under the track,
allowing it to sink. 1t has been
known to blow so hard in the desert
that the sand would actually cut
down telegraph poles by constant
beating and grinding against them
There is no danger Of anybody being
drowned by this basin filling with
water, for neither man nor ANNA
lives in it. The only loss will be t.
the railroad. 1t perhaps might LOST
nearly hundred miles of track an(
be forced to build anew around tn,
basin. But water there will max,
the lands around it fertile and valua
able. They are now worthless.

Still Something Wanting.

West Tenn. Wing.
1t is related that Artemus Ward
when he first tramped into Philadel-
phia, thus accosted a citizen: "Say,
mister, can you tell me where I can
get a square meal for a quarter"
Certainly" replied the obliging citi-
zen, Sat that restaurant yonder on the
corner" and started to pass on. "But
hold on, mister" said Ward, lone
thing more-nOw can you tell me
where in the hi can get the quar-
ter?" And so it would be with many
who are now grumbling about hard
times and advocating an increase in
the currency as panacea for their
ills. If the circulation was five times
as great as it now is, they would still
be without money and in debt.
Wealth is the product of labor, and
if the country was flooded with mon
ey, none of it would find Ifs way in
to their empty pockets unless they
had something 20 offer in exchange
for it. Like Artemus, they would
still be lacking the quarter.

A Wonderful Horse.
Chattanooga News.

Chattanooga News.
A News reporter this morning
heard of a wonderful horse in the
stable of Grocer w. M. Brooks, and
called to see it.
The reporter had heard that when,
ever the horse happened to see a
fence rail lying in the road, it would
pick it up and replace it on the fence.
Also when the horse would see a
rock i'll the street, it would pick it up
and carry it to a fence corner.
In fact whenever the horse hap,
pened to see anything in disorder, il
would restore it to order.
The News man was not the only
person sold.

Affixing the Great Seal.

The Secretary of State has no right
to afliX the Great Seal of the United
States to any paper without "war>
rant" from the President authorizing
him to do so. This warrant is al
ways filed with the document so
sealed, and reads as follows:
81 authorize and direct the Secre-
tary of State to cause the Great Seal
of the United States to be affixed to
whatever the document may bel
dated this day, signed by me, and for
so doing this shall be his warrent.
president of of the United States. -
The Great Seal is affixed to nothing
but treaties, proclamations, commits
sions, pardons and passports. The
old seal, which had been in use since
the foundation of the Government,
was worn out and replaced by a new
one in the early part of 1886. It's a
curious fact that the old one which
was used so long was imperfect and
never did answer to the description
set down in the statutes. Although
using the seal is supposed to be a
solemn affair, and the penalty for its
improper use is so tremendous, it is
left in charge of clerk, just like any
other piece Of furniture, and it i:
doubtful if the Secretary sees it twice
a year. During the early days of the
| Government it was guarded will
much vigilance, as its appearance
upon any document was known t.
give that document the force Of law
but now the people look to tn,
newspapers and not to a piece 0
parchment for their information.
