the Pacific Navigation Company this afternoon

Fairhaven and State of Washington-on the
Whatcom route in case the Puget Sound Steam

upon the payment of which the Pacific Naviga-

some time before the boats were pulled off the
Pacific Navigation Company threatened

the pool refuses to continue the bonus, alleging

LONDON July 21.-The new American steel

Duluth, Mimi, in the latter part of June, ar
rived at Liverpool today. The wetmore is an
inland built steamer, and her cargo, consisting
OF $1,000 bushels OF grain, Is the first grain cargo
shipped from lake ports direct to Liverpool
without being rehanded. The route was down
the lakes from Duluth, through the Welland
canal, down the ST. Lawrence river and across
the Atlantic. The success of the voyage is evil
dence that the proposition to establish direct
communication between European and other
ports and Chicago. is entirely feasible.

Going to Arizona for His Health-He is
Satisfied With Railroad Matters.
NEW YORK, July Pin an interview with q
reporter today regarding the recent meeting of
the Western Traffic Association, Gould said that
there was no truth whatever in the statements
which has been published about his dissatisfac-
ton with the action taken. The temporary
disposition ade OF the agencies had his entire
concurrence and the Hutchinson salt matter
was practically decided in favor of the Missouri
Pacific. His absence from the later sessions OF
the board was due entirely to the fact that he
was suffering from an attack of neuralgia.
He is going to Arizona and will visit the Hot
spring there for the benefit of his health.

The Panther Pastures of Nanoose.


Nanalno Free Press.
The panthers of Nanoose bay have been hay
Ing rough time Of it lately, but they do not
seem inclined to leave for pastures new. Last
Wednesday Mr. Dickinson and his partner. Mr.
Dunn, went to look up some cattle, Mr.. Dunn
carrying shotgun. They found the cattle
almost two miles from the house, and the dog at
tho same time found three lusty panthers, which
scattered right and left, one, however, taking
with him a charge of No. shot in his hind leg,
which had the effect of sending him splitting
and scratching up tree where he got another
dose in the face. which caused him to tumble
of his perch to the ground, but by no
means ready to give up the ghost
The cartridge having iammed in the gun, 1t be-
gan TO look lively for Mr.. Dunn, but he having
few coils of rope with him lassoed the brute and
yanked him up to tree, where he was left to
hang himself, which he did. The dog had by
this time freed another, so Mr.. Dunn set off for
home and got Mr.. Fred Larsen to go with him
with his rifle. Arriving back, they found the
dog had faithfully stuck to her post aud was
barking furiously at big brute stretched out
on limb OF a tree. bullet knocked the
psnther's jaw TO pieces, and another shot gave
him his quietus. On measuring this brute he
proved to be ten feet four inches from nose to
tip of tail. Mr.. Dickinson now arrived on the
scene, having hurried up on hearing the shots
and incidental yells of victory, and while talk
ing the dog began to bark again, some seventy
yards of, which caused foot-race which ended
in the death OF Mr.. Panther, No 8, who foolishly
had perched himself in a tree. bullet from
Mr.. Dickinson's rifle through the heart was
enough for this one. All three of these
panthers were large, none being under nine
feet On Thursday evening Mr.. Dickinson
was out hunting up an OK in an unfrequented
portion OF that big claim of his, and while
slowly walking along a trail be saw a small
panther run out from under leg and crouch
down in front of him. IL is not quite certain
whether this little beast meant to spring or not.
but it did not get much time to mediate. as he
got rife ball in tho nose which stretched him
out There have now been ten panthers killed
at Nanoose bay, and several have been seen
lately. There is no news OF any horned stock
being destroyed by these brutes, though a doubt
exists that such is the fact IL 10 TO be hoped
the settlers will beep sharp eye on their stock
and help to exterminate such dangerous beasts
The paltry award of IS given by the government
for panther's head goes but little way to
compensate the settler for the loss of valuable
stock, and might be raised, at any rate. in set.

Whatcom Reveille.
Mr.. II. V. Brokaw, living near wager, had
what might have developed into thrilling ex-
perieuce last Sunday evening with cougar
After he had eaten supper, he took stroll down
to the clearing where he has his hen-house,
which is some 200 yards from where he lives at
present, and on arriving at the edge of the
clearing he saw a large cougar standing not
fifty feet from him. The cougar did not see
him at nrst, and he picked up stone and threw
il aud missed the cougar about foot. This
started the animal, and it leaped up on a
log TO take survey of the situation,
and Mr.. Brokaw thinking this meant
biz as the cougar at this time saw
him, stepped back about six feet and picked up
small sharp peavy, of which he was very
dextrous manipulation, and approached the
cougar, which at first showed no tendency to
leave, but as Mr.. Brokaw brought the peavy up
with swing the cougar turned, and, with its
bristles turned the wrong way, decided to sur
render the premises.
Mr.. Westland, a rancher who lives on the ad-
Joining land with Mr.. Brokaw, was picking
blackberries Sunday near Wiser lake when he
came within one rod of where black bear was
sitting on a large log looking at him.
Mrs Simpson, also near neighbor, saw
large cougar with three kittens cross the road
near her house last Saturday.

Another source of annoyance was the
disposition made of the great carpet

Turkish rug, and of course it did not tit

and sewed it together with a pickering,

they took it out altogether, and cut the
great rug into still smaller pieces, used
them for time, and finally sold them.

become annoying. There is something
strange and to some minds uncanny in the
way the two men grew old at the same
even rate. If Mr.. Leopold found another
gray hair in his beard he seized the first
opportunity to see Mr.. Gould, and found
that he too had gained gray hair.
Once Mr.. Leopold was offered $50, 900 to
personate Mr.. Gould. 1t was during that
part of the campaign of 1884, when poll
tics and finance ran into one as it were
and the scheme was for Mr.. Leopold to fall
on Wall street as if senseless. The con-
sprators We're to hurry him into a car
riage and up town, and announce that
"Mr. Gould was fatally injured" OF
course the wires were to be cut which lead
to the Gould country seat. then the trick
sters could have realized on the panic in
stocks.
Mr.. Leopold has also had good offers to
personate Jay Gould on the stage but de-
clined. Wearied of this kind of notoriety
he has cut off his mustache and trim med
his black beard to a Nandyke point, so as
to look as little like Jay Gould as nature
will allow
