PROFESSOR O. G.. Morrison has
kindly favored the HERALD with an
article, describing the camp, which
we pronounce IS n of the ab!est
"write-ups" Neihart has ever
had. The Professor predicts a
wonderful future for Neihart; that
the ore bodies will grow larger and
richer as depth is obtained, that cleo
tricity, before the close of the min
teenth century will take the place of
steam for power in developing the
mines. We will not set forth the
entire argument of the professor, but
wish to call your attention to the
article which is found on the third
page Of this issue. A copy of this
edition every one interested in Mel
hart should send home to their
friends. as it will be a long day be-
fore a better description of the camp
can be had. We take special pleas
.ure in thanking the Professor for his
kindness.

Seattle, Nov. 3O.-A startling
story of starvation among miners in
the mountains of the Snohomish has
just reached here by E. T. Keith
and Fritz Livingstone, who have
been for fifty hours without food.
Freshets hemmed the miners in and
on account Of their exhausted con-
dition they were unable to obtain a
new supply Of food. Keith and Ell
lingstone are the only men out of
fifty miners who started for Snohom-
ish four days ago to get in. The
others dropped along the route from
sheer exhaustion and want of food.
And it is feared that they are lost in
the woods. The survivors had
scarcely any clothing when they ar
rived which, with their pinched and
gaunt features, testified to the truth
of their alarming tale.
News from the flood in the district
of the Skywanish river shows the
damage to be enormous and the next
freshet may the river to take a
new course, thereby destroying the
business portion of the new town of
Sultan. Famine is likely to occur
among the railroad camps, both
among cattle and horses, unless some
means is devised of getting supplies
from east of the mountains. A tree
fell across the camp of James Park
near Stevens City, killing three men
and seriously injuring Edward o.
Brien and two others. No mails
have gotten into Sultan since No.
vember Is.

THIS day we enter upon our third

THIS day we enter upon our third
year. When the HERALD opened
its pages this day, in 1890, there
was little in sight to warrant the
movement. The log shack was the
average building in Neihart. Though
a few frame houses were then start
ing, only a limited number were
completed. This was a camp indeed.
No evidence was prominent pointing
to a town of 1000 people at the end
of two years. Nobody was positive
that at this date we would have
water works, electric lights, an or
ganized and civil community, properly
Offered, and a substantially built
town with graded streets, sidewalks
and clean backyards. A railroad
has since reached the place, and
what was a diamond willow thicket
along Belt is now cleared, plated
and built upon.
In 1890 the HERALD occupied
small quarters. Was printed on a
hand press with only a hat-full OF
type. Now it occupies quarters four
times as large; is printed on a power
press, ten times as rapidly as by hand,
and in every way has made rapid
strides toward perfection in the
printers art. Modestly we started
out, so modestly that many predicted
that it would be a failure. Modestly
now we assert that we are more than
pleased with the result. The editor
has not acted thoughtlessly or hasti-
". but has been considerate as far as
possible in all things. He has re-
ceived censure from some because he
has not blown their horn for them SO
much as they thought he should. He
has been blamed by others because
he did not voice exactly the senti-
ment of his community. rather than
that which appeared to him at the
time to be right. He has been
charged with being the tool Of
other men, and with endeavoring
to blind justice in social and political
intrigue. To all these charges he
has this to say, that he has yet to SEE
the day when he will voice public
sentiment because it is public senti
ment; that he owns his paper, ST
far as the influence of outsiders ar
concerned, and is playing no part o
a tool to any party or faction.
The HERALD congratulates tn
city upon its progress and prosper
ity. Congratulates the citizens up
on their enterprise, perseverance, in
tegrity and fidelity. The tune ha
been n of varied outlook. A
times of disappointment hung blacke
than Egypt. Then a ray of hop
sncceeded. when some mining con
pany would employ more men, an

miners working at an average rat

Charged With Stealing Furniture.

George Hollands, waiter, was given a hear
ing yesterday before Justice Won Tobel upon .
charge of grand larceny in stealing his land
lords furniture, and in default OF $3.50 bonds
went to jail, awaiting trial in the superior
court. Several months ago Hollands rented
a house from Mrs. Louise Briggs. He vacated
and subeased the premises to a third party.
The third party then vacated, and Hollands
earted off the furniture and, selling it to a Sec
ond-hand man, left on April l3 with his wife
for Tacoma. Mrs. Briggs. who claimed that Sos
worth of the furniture belonged to her, swore
out a warrant for Hollands arrest, which
finally took place in Tacoma on Tuesday. Hol-
lands says that he understood his wife had pur-
chased the furniture from Mrs. Briggs. For .
long time the defendant was employed in the
Royal restaurant. in this city. and he has
worked in several Tacoma chop houses.
