The average wages paid at the
shingle mills in Washington are as
follows: Head sawyer, $3.50 per day
drag sawyer, 50; knot sawyer, $3 :;
packer, So; filler, $50; engineer, So !:
laborers and helpers 81. These prices
may vary somewhat but are the ones
usually paid. At some places the
engineer does the firing; in others he
Is made to put in time on repairs.
For shingle machine cutting $4,000
n day the number of men needed is
about twelve. The expense of keep.
ing shingle mill in repair is a very
uncertain factor in the cost of shingles.
One mill that averaged 5000 a day
when running cost its owner $500
during the past year for repairs and
expenses attending stoppages caused
by break downs.

INTERESTING REM1N1scENcEs
Relating to the Departed Hero, Gen.
w. T. Sherman.
Seattle Press.

| seattle Press.
Senator N. H. Owings, who was on
Gen. Sherman's staff, and who proba-
bly, knew him more intimately than
any one else in Washington, has in
his possession many letters received at
various times from the general. Some
OF these are of peculiar interest.
General Sherman always had a
warm interest in this country. He
came here first in 1877, accompanied
by his staff officers, Bacon and Poe.
He was then on general inspecting
| tour. He had arrive. on the regular
steamer from San Francisco to Port
Townsend, where he took the revonue
cutter for Olympia. When he got
ready to return he staged it eastward
to the terminus of the Northern Pa
cific, then far in Dakota.
The second time he came he was
accompanied by Justice Gray of the
Supreme Court and others, President
Hayes, Gen. Sherman, Adj. Gen. Barr.
Secretary of War Ramsey and Gems.
Mcdowell and McCook came together
in 1880 and Col. Owings and Governor
Ferry accompanied them in the
steamer North Pacific, then new, to
the various points on the Sound.
They were out five days. They spent
a day at Seattle, night at Port Town
send and night at Utsalady. There
Gen. Sherman, who had then recently
visited Europe, told stories nearly all
night along of what he had seen and
gave his ideas of the European armies
in a manner, Col. Owings says, which
he has never heard equaled by any
story-teller anywhere.
The next time the general came was
three years ago, when he arrived with
Governor Alger aud Gen Logan, Col.
and Mrs. Owings met the general at
Tacoma in response to telegram
from him.
1t is not known that as long ago as
1854 Gen. Sherman bought real estate
in Olympia. He was then a banker
in San Francisco and bought p lots
OF Edward Giddings for 500. Sher-
man forgot all about the purchase till
1890, even though he had been here
four times. He then sent the deed to
Owings and asked him to look it up.
. NAO SO ohu IOuuu Tie property
lying out on the mud flats near the
town, where two-thirds of the time it
was covered with water. The deed,
which was seen to-day, is a curious
looking document written out in full
ON old-fashioned blue paper and about
three times as large as the ordinary
deed. Giddings was an old.timer in
Olympia whom all the old settlers
remember. On the back of the old
blue deeds is inscribed: al. Edward
Giddings to w. T. Sherman, deeds of
lots in the city of Olympia. Washing
ton Territory, recorded January 28.
1884, Book of Records No. l, pages
lao and Ill. Urban Hicks Recorder,
Thurston county, w. T."
Sherman, said Owings, wrote also
that he could not distinctly remember
how he came to buy the lots, but he
supposed Governor Stevens, or some
OF his old army friends, had sent
Giddings to him.
Here is very interesting letter
treating of Washington and Mr..
Cleveland's administration:

OF your varied and beautiful land in

monotonous country, but in early life
=! acquired some property here and
had the belief not yet shaken that the
Mississippi valley was the controlling
future OF America, so when I COM
pieted by military career l came here
to pass the remainder of my life. We
are all creatures of circumstances, and
after all head and heart are the great

is good deal in that " acre of claims"
and that you have reason to be con.

We all realize that the pendulum oI
politics has swung further than we
expected. That the rebs, whom We
beat in the war, have conquered in
politics, but it will require more thar

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
The Years Work Discussed by DR.. Pettis
Other Pulpit News.

The congregations at the various
churches were not large yesterday,
owing to the somewhat disagreeable
morning. DIR. Pettis preached both
morning and evening at the Episco-
pal church, taking for the subject sof
his mornings discourse the work
done by his church during the past
year. The Episcopalians do not
cling to the calendar year, and yes
terday was the last Sunday in their
church year, consequently DR.. Pettis'
sermon was appropriate. He re-
viewed the work done, and while it
was in the main satisfactory he ex
hnrted his hearers to turn over new
leaves for next Sunday and enter
upon the new year with increased
zeal.
The Presbyterian pulpit was
occupied Sunday morning by
DR.. Lupton. This minister was
taken i'll in the evening and there
was no preaching at his church at
1880. DR.. Lupton was quite sick last
night, but is much better to-day and
will soon beat his work.
DR.. West. preached at the Method
list church at II o'clock yesterday,
and at night Rev. 4. M. Harrell de-
livered his second sermon to a
GAINESVILLE congregation.
The pastor of the Christian church,
Rev. A. M. Growden, preached at
his church both hours Of service.
Last night he delivered Thanks
giving sermon, which is said by
those who heard it to have been an
able presentation of the subject.
Rev, "A. U. Boone completr d his Sc
rles of sermons on the character OF
Jonah yesterday morning; there were
many practical lessons drawn from
the subject.
j. w. Sullivan preached to fair
congregations morning and evening
at the Cumberland Presbyterian
church.

Y. M. G. A.

The meeting at the Y. M. G. A. yes
terday afternoon at 3 O'Clock, led by
j. r. Allen, was we'll attended. The
auditorium was filled to nearly
its full seating capacity.
After several pieces were rendered
by the choir and musical instru-
ments, consisting of the organ, two
comets, flute and four violins, and
several prayers, the leader made
some excellent remarks on the down
fall Of cur first parents. His talk
was mostly confined to the sin OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS, q form of evil which
the devil uses most powerfully for
the. downfall of young men.
A song. was sung and the meeting
was thrown open to all present who
desired to, take part. Several short
and interesting talks were made, and
the meeting closed exactly at 4
O'Clock, every one feeling that the
hour had been profitably spent.
The music was especially enjoyed,
being rendered by some of our best
talent.
The same program will be render
ed every Sunday afternoon with adj
ditional musical instruments, and all
men are cordially invited.
On neat Thursday night the
Ladies' Auxiliary will give a
Thanksgiving reception. A program
will be rendered, the particulars OF
which will be published later.
