LUMBER KINGS COMING
They Will Spend a Full Day
and Night In and About
Fairhaven
Plans for Their Reception and
Entertainment Now Under
Consideration
Hearing of the Connolly Fritz
Homestead Contest Case
Commenced

J. 5. Mundy is back from Chicago,
where he completed arrangements for
| the purchase Of all the necessary ma
chinery and equipment for the big
shingle mill. He has manifested great
interest in the great lumbermen's eX-
curson and it is largely due to his per-
sonal efforts and influence in conjunc-
! ton with the Chamber of Commerce
that the itinerary of the excursion was
amended so as to include + .irhaven.
While east Mr.. Mundy did some good
booming for the Bay and the following
letter shows that he "kept his eye" on
the excursion:
a. II. Clarke, President Chamber of
Commerce, Fairhaven, Wash.-DEAR
SGR:-I hand you herewith letter re-
ceived today from Mr. Mind, originator
and promoter of the lumbermen's ex-
cursiOn. You see they are TO give us a
day and "a night. Now is our oppor-
tunity. Have the boys take their coats
off and do the genteel. Let's have
some good, live committees and plan
marked out, and show the gentlemen
what we can do in the time we have.
1t will cost nothing except what we
choose to spend but let us show the
Bay up in good shape. Stir up the
Whatcom people, and let US have no
clashing, but work together for the
Bay aud put "the best foot to London
! have steered the crowd to port and it
is good crowd TO tie to. Now / want
our people to show their appreciation
by coming to the front and entertain
ing them. / shall start homeward i'm
a day or two. Truly,
J. ;. MUNDY.
The letter referred to refers to the
published itinerary of the trip, which
contains the following:
TUESDAY, FEB. l6-NINTH DAY
At Fairhaven-Arrive at Fairhaven at
7:3O a. IN. Visit Fairhaven and What
com during the day. Dinner at Fair
haven hotel and spend the night la
kGirhUven.n
This will afford a grand opportunity
to acquaiut the visitors with the Bay
cities and give them fair idea Of their
vast cOntributOry resources. The plan
Of entertainment has not yet been fully
mapped out, but if satisfactory arrange
ments can be made It will probably in
clude trip around the bay, "taking
in" the mills and the NOoksack boom,
and thence TO Blanchard, where the
great Alger-Hawley logging camp is
located. Mr.. Mcmillan, the company's |
manager, has wired Mr.. WardrOp, of
the Chamber Of Commerce committee, |
that he will be here Wednes- |
day to confer with those i'm |
charge Of the local arrangements. A /
meeting of the trustees and other mem |
bers Of the Chamber will be held later |
in the week to determine upon the |
plan most likely to please the visitors. |
The party will number thirty or more |
and will include many of the most |
prominent and wealthy lumbermen OF
the Mississippi valley. Great prepara-
tions are being made for their reception
at other points on the Sound and il is
certainly important that they receive
every possible attention here.

That Boarding House Case

The case Of the state vs. w. G. Petit
bone, charged with making an assault
with deadly weapon upon n. W.
Horne, came on for trial before Judge
Palmer yesterday. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Cole appeared for the state and II.
A. Fairchild for the defense. Upon
consent Of Mr. Cole the deadly weapon
element was stricken from the COM
plant and the charge reduced TO a sim
pie assault. The testimony Of the wit
nesses for the prosecution, Jay G.. Whit
tier, Mrs. Whittier and Mr.. Horne,
was taken, after which the defense
moved to dismiss the case for want Of
evidence. The motion was taken under
advisement until O'Clock The court
then dismissed the plaintiff under bond
until the prosecuting attorney could be
consulted. The version of the affair
given in the HERALD Of Sunday cor
responds closely with the testimony
taken yesterday.

CONGRESS
At Last Takes Action

A bill has been introduced at Wash
ington requiring all baking powders
containing alum and ammonia to be 20
labeled. This Is a step in the right di-
rection, and has been long foreshad-
ow ed by the action Of state legislatures,
boards Of health, food commissioners,
etc. in this matter. The bill affords
needed protection 10 the public, for the
evidence as TO the injurious effects Of
alum and ammonia Is very heavy; but
IL will nevertheless be fought bitterly
by the manufacturers whom IL effects
who are accustomed 10 sell their goods
as pure Cream Of Tartar" "abso-
lutely pure" etc.
The bill is something needed. n a
maker uses "A drug in his powder. the
name Of which he does not want to
have printed on his label, IL Is prima
facie evidence that there Il something
wrong. We hope that the subject will
be vigorously prosecuted all over the
country. not only as regards baking
powder, but all other food adultera-
tons.
This bill may incidentally benefit
the makers Of pure articles, but II IL
should, this is only an additional point
! In its favor.

man, who is reliable authority on the cul-

always digs them on the new moon, or as
near it as possible. His rule for telling
when they will keep is to grabble one out of
the patch, and break it in two, lay the
pieces on stump in the patch oil night,
and if in the mnrping he finds the milky
substance has formed gloss over the broken
surface he dig1, and times out of 10 they
will keep with little trouble. But if he finds
that a dark ring has formed between the
rind and the potato proper they won't keep,
no matter how hard you try to save them.

Court Next Week.

| SSuit Vt4t We0k.
The October term of Court of General
Sessions and Common Pleas for Union
County, will commene next Monday, judge
liar presiding. A number of very impor-
tant cases are upon the Sessions docket,
involving murder, arson and many less
serious offences, which, if tried, will fully
occupy the time of the first week
We expect large number of our sub
scribers will attend Court, and we knov
that large number of them are greatly in
arrears to us and we know further. TINT
we are getting badly in arrears ourself. for
the want of the money due us by subscrib-
ers' and we must collect. We were very
lenient last year, and the result is, we find
an unusually large amount due us on our
books.
we have no hesitancy in saying now that
we cannot carry those arrearages any longer.
IL IS but paltry sum that each one owes.
out when counted up on our books it makes
avery large amount, and really we are not
able TO carry the load. Whatever others
may have 10 do, we have TO paw our debts
and intend to do so, if it takes the last of
our unlaundried garments which will be
the case if we don't collect soon. We've
got down to grabbing potatoes for some-
thing to help "fll up and the patch is very
small. We are in the best kind of humor.
but in the worst kind of financial condition.
and sincerely hope cotton will 90 up to 10
cents and stay there until the farmers have
sold the last lock aud-paid us the last cent
OF arrears and year in advance. We be-
lieve we'd "set 'em up."
