Moore and myself have been engaged for
weeks in building cabins for the twenty
SIX settlers who will take possession of
their claims within a few weeks. This
number Of homesteaders will soon be
doubled as several men are coming up

business. They viii bring their vines

our timber is the marvel of every one
who has seen it. When the Victoria, Port
crescent q Chehalis railroad is built it will
open our country up in nne shape, and
prlng us right into market with both our
timber and our coal-of which we have an
abundance-as well as with our produce of
all kinds.
There is the finest hunting over in the
Soieduck now that you can imagine. The
elk and deer are coming down out of the
mountains in great numbers; bear are
plentiful, and cougars are not scarce. One
day, about two weeks ago, was out with
my ri.ie, not far from home, looking for a
shot | was up on bluff, overlooking a
pretty glade, when, about forty yards
distant, saw splendid elk-an old
buck-emerge from the timber in the little
valley. He came out as gingerly and as
daintily as you please; shifted the air and
! looked cautiously in all directions, and
finally gave peculiar signal and trotted
forth. Almost Immediately behind him,
strung out in long, graceful line was a
great herd of elk. On they came, as
fearlessly as could be, after hear
ing the leaders signal, and before
raised my ride to pick off the
buck that wore those antlers, | had count

than $4,000 pounds of elk meat / fired

flight and broke into wild run, dash

ling buck and a two-year-old doe, for meat,
and let all the others go by.
There was only one American elk in the
whole herd. All Of the others were of a
species new to me-with very long front
legs and shoulders, and very short hind
legs. Their backs sloped strongly to the
rear, giving them an ugly sort of Texas
steer appearance. They were deer brown in
color. and without an exception, the hind
quarters of every elk in the herd were
marked by a large, almost circular
white spot. One can enjoy any amount of
bear hunting out at our place. but it takes
nice generalship to trap bear-and about
the only way you can get crack at one of
our smart, well-fed bears is to trap him.
| They are as dainty and select about their
food as woman, and they won't touch
bait of any kind-especially meat or tsh
that isn't absolutely fresh.

The large wholesale house of John B.
Agen, $40 and SGD West street, corner OF
Marion, stands at the head of the butter
and egg business in Seattle, and for good
reasons: First--It has only been within
the last year or so that good butter and
eggs were obtainable at any thing like a
reasonable price. and at times they were
not to be had at any price.
Since the advent of Mr.. Agen, however,
the problem has been solved and good
butter and eggs are now the rule at reason
able prices.
He sells his own brand of Iowa cream

this golden treasure carted from his doors.

the other day that had been out only one week
and the cover looked If it had been in the

course it cannot be expected that there will be
untidy men in a place of this kind but they should
be compelled to keep their filth to themselves.
The books are the property of all, and every man
should respect the rights of others so far as the
care of common property is concerned. The man
who carelessly soils good book is just about as
mean as he who tears out leaves. and both of them
deserve to be spanked by trip hammer.

Oracles and How They Are Made.
The town oracle had just taken the best
seat on the hotel veranda. when a gentle.
man rode by in his carriage.
"There goes old Sawyer" said the oracle.
There is one thing l never could under
stand about rich men. Why is it that as
soon as man gets little money his opin
ion becomes so much more valuable? Why is
it that when a man has invented a corn
pepper or an idea which one of his ragged
boys has given him and has made fortune
out of it. he at once becomes savant. can
answer knOtty questions in ethics or meta
physics or political economy to everybOdy's
satisfaction? 1 can't seem to understand
why man who has pegged shoes for thirty
years and concealed the proceeds in the bed
tick until he is rich enough to retire. should
know more about medicine than a dozen
colleges and revised edition of materia
medica. but the country takes his opinion
on every disease physical, mental. moral,
political or ecclesiastical.
II knew man once in the west who was
too lazy to turn over in bed and had been
kicked out of every saloon in town, and
finally had to marry squaw to keep from
starving to death. When she was out in the
mountains one day. getting some wood to
keep him warm. she picked up nugget of
gold. He managed to get up vitality enough
to stake out claim and hire some men to
dig him out fortune. The squaw is back
on the reservation now and he wears dia-
mOnds and is pointed out as great mining
man and consulted on all subjects of mining
and speculation.
II knew another man who had lent a
friend some money. and when the note was
due the friend had nothing but some land
in a new western town. The man did Mt
want to take it, said he did MT want any
Eden" property. The friend said it would
make it rich some time, that the city
would grow up to it. Well, the man took
the land because it was all his friend had.
The friend is still poor. but the land made
the other man rich and an oracle. People
point him out as great financier. and ask
his advice on getting rich, getting religion
or getting ANYTHING else.
Maybe your remember when Rufus
Hatch was rich how people clamored for
his opinions. how the papers used to be full
of his wise sayings. Why. any editor in the
country would have given him dollar a
minute to talk for publication on any sub
ject. You never hear Of any one wanting
his opinion nowadays. though he probably
knows good deal more than he did when
he was rich. Nobody wants to hear what
poor man has to say in this era of prog
ress." F. 81.

Chapel Services.

Rev. ]. H. Albert conducted the services. He
took for his text the seventh verse of the fourth
chapter of second Timothy-"I have fought good
hight. have finished my course. 1 have kept the
faith.' These are the words of st. Paul to Timothy
written at time when his days seemed about
ended His days had been days of persecution.
No one had ever suffered such persecution
Paul had. But what distinguished him above
other men most was his love. He devoted his
life to the uplifting of all men. So earnest was
his zeal thatthe Roman governor once said to him.
Paul. thou art beside thyself." Paulloved Christ
with all his heart and he spent his life trying to
teach others to love Him. His life and work had
been such that when he saw that his end was at

we can say. as we stand at the end and look back
over lifes battle field. II have fought the good
fight" The whole world is a battle ground and all
living things are the perpetual fighters. One half
of the human race falls before it is twelve years
old. This we can see. But there is another kind
of warfare going that is not visble-it is the
continuous conflict between good and evil that is
being waged in every soul. All men wherever
they may be are fighting this battle. 1t is the bat
tie in which the real victories of life are won or
lost. Jesus Christ did not win the great victory
over sin on the cross, but in the forty days

been won in the secrecy of the heart that men are
ready to 60 out and fight the battles of the mate.

have been fought out in the secrecy of the hearts

and daughter of the late confederate chief
tain seem inclined to yield to the wishes Of

matters and II Is not at all unlikely that
they will ask the executive committee to
reach an agreement on these points among
themselves and then to submit the result OF
their deliberations to the widow and daugh-

seems to be In favor of mausoleum in the

THE ITATA CASE ENDED.
The Jury Instructed to Return a Verdict OF
Not Guilty.


Los ANGELES, Cal, Nov. Judge
Ross of the United States circuit court,
granted the motion of the defendants
to instruct the jury to return verdict
of not guilty in the case of the United
States against George A. Bart and Ri
cardo Trum bull, who have been on
trial here for a week, charged with
fitting out the Chilian steamer ltata
with arms to cruise against the gov
ernment of Chill.
The court grants the motion on two
points; first, that the indictment is de-
fective, being formed under the neu-
trality laws in not stating that state
of war existed ir Chilli and that the de-
PENDANTS were belligerents and had
been recognized as such, and second,
the charges would not hold because
the statute contemplated a state of
war, also that a vessel coming to the
United States to get arms and carrying
them peacefully away was not fitting
out any expedition that had already
been set on foot in Chilli and was being
conducted from there and not from the
United States. This decision will also
result in the dismissing of the cases
against the vessel and her arms.
