Holland--Is the title Of case on trial
yesterday. Some time since plaintiff.
Patterson, sold a quarter section OF
land TO the defendant, Holland, re-
ceiving part payment in cash, the bal
ance being secured by a mortgage tc
plaintiff. Suit was brought TO fore
close the mortgage, for 81 900. A
counter claim was set up by the de-
feRdaHt on account of the title not be-
ing perfect, namely: the patent having
been signed by William II. Crooks in
stead OF Rutherford b. Hayes, presi.
dent. The defendant, therefore, asks
for damages in the sum Of 5000, the
amount he would have had had the
title been good. The patent was
placed in evidence and is as alleged
signed by w. H. Crooks, secretary, in.
stead of 10y President Hayes. The case
is still on trial.

Travelled about looking for fan tan

Greater troubles than these, how
ever, were in store for them. A police
officer was on their trail, and soon the
minion Of the law was directing their
way to the cooler. This was done for
safe keeping. "What you allest me

said the officer, "and ! am afraid you

CHUCKANUT CREEK GOLD
An Oldtimer Tells His Expe-
rience in Searching
For Gold
Gold in the Greek and Coal in
the Mountain, But He
Found None
CLANS and Mussels Good Food
For Mossbacks and
Tenderfeet

! Down on Chuckanut creek, near
where it empties into the Bay" said
an Old-timer yesterday, 81 once pros
pected for gOld-placer gold, you
know. Where Fairhaven now stands
was then a wildeTness-in fact the
whole country was one unbroken for
est, except few shacks at Whatcom,
and | don't think the Nooksack had
been penetrated by white men.
"This, you will understand, was
thirty-two years ago, and myself and
partner were examining the shore line
of the bay, when we struck the little
bay now called Chuckanut, and ran up
the bay as far as we could. Several
siwashes had their camp fires there,
and had been cooking CLAIMS and mus
sells, and after we had exchanged
numerous klohowyas chow do you do),
we we're invited to partake Of boiled
clans and potatoes. The fare was
not at all bad, though not cooked TO
our liking, but since that time | have
often been pretty glad to get good
clam stew, CLANS are a mighty
handy thing to have lying around
waiting for somebody to dig them.
"Of course, nowadays we oid-timers
are called m0ssbacks' and clam
eaters and all that sort of thing, and
perhaps it would be as well to at once
plead guilty to every charge.
"After living for thirty years and
In nj
wilderness when you found it, it is not
at all strange if we old fellows can't
keep up with the procession. We
simply are not used to it.
ut seems but yesterday" he went
on meditatively, "when first rounded
that point yonder and skirted close TO
the shore, TO see what manner of land
lay near it.
"But | am digressing-I started in
to tell you about the gold of ChuCka-
nut creek. Well, We climbed over
fallen trees and through underbrush
until We struck the bed Of the creek,
and began 10 examine the sands. OF
course these were days following close
on the Frazer river gold excitement,
and this part Of the coast was thought
TO be full Of gold. This will account

did we tind any cOlOrs? We Ger
tainly did and our hearts rose high
with hope. We dug in the stream,
cleared away the underbrush on its
banks, which are there yet, | suppose,
and we certainly thought we had
struck it rich. Well we dug and
washed the earth but beyond finding a
color or 50 TO the pan our work was
fruitless. We continued our investi-
cations for a week and climbed TO the
top of the mountains. and found one

few days ago.
"But there is gold all the same in
that little creek, and if one should sink
TO bedrock he would find it, but
whether in sufficient quantities to pay
would be another question.
"As for me ] should have prospected
for coal instead Of gold, for underneath
Chuckanut mountain there is an
enormous field of coal, which will be
developed some day. | have made ex-

EXAMINED on THEIR MERITS.
Twenty-six Applicants for Ofaces Under
the Civil Service Rules.

the Civil Service Rules.
A civil service examination was held on
the third door of the high school all day
yesterday, being conducted by Mr.. w. s.
Washburn, civil service examiner from
Washington, d. c., and Postmaster
Davies and Assistant Postmaster Colkett.
Of this city. Twenty-six applicants were
examined, of whom twenty were for the
railway mail service and six for positions
in the departmental service. OF these six
departmental applicants four were for
clerkships, one for copyist, and one for
postoffice inspector. Two of the four APP
plicants for clerkships went through sup
Elementary examinations. one in law,
and the other In proof reading.
Mr.. washburn's arrival here was de-
layed until little after 9 o'clock this
morning, owing to the Ellensburg acci-
dent. He expressed himself as well
pleased with Pacific coast scenery and
climate so far as he could be under the
circumstances. From here he goes to
Portland.
If the Seattle postoffice had only seven
more employes-it has now forty-three al
together-it would he included among the
classified" postal cities. These CLASSIFIED
country toniy three of them on the COAST,
have civil service examining boards indie
pendent OF the central board at Washing
ton City; that is, in cities in which the
postoffice service numbers fifty employees,
an examining board is made up by the
commission out of the officials of the
United States, 1t matters not particularly
Of what branch of the federal service,
though postal officials are preferably desig-
mated upon such boards. The three Pa
cine coast cities thus classified are San
Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles. Sc
attic and Portland will soon be added,
thinks Mr.. Washburn. This is made all
the more likely. so far as this city is con-
cerned, in the recent extension of the city
limits. The number of employees in the
four branches of the government, VIZ:
customs, departmental, postal and railway
mail service, are now nearly $4,000.
