course of . conversation last evening he said:
81 have done missionary work in the: West, but
find that In our own diocese We have much
missionary work ON our hands. We have there
men whom it 10 very difficult to reach-those
ignorant of our language and moved only
by hunger or the force of arms. The trouble at
Homestead shows something Of the people we
must try to improve The difficulty with those
men, 1t seems to me, is that they are led by
utterly unprincipled demagogues whose gain is
in strikes and agitations."

great yield of oats or the La Conner flats in
Skagit county. l suppose the crop this year

which went down carried 100000 sacks, or
sacking for 100000 bushels. This whole con-
sgnment was for ono firm OF oat growers, J. &
G. Caches, of La Conner. have noticed
curious evidence OF the glacial action on
WILDLY island, to change the subject On
Sewells point, at the entrance to Oak harbor, is
a huge bowlder of blue marble capable of receiv-
ing high polish. Across on the shore near
La Conner is granite boulder. These stones
are utterly unlike many formations in the
neighborhood. I suppose they were brought
down from the mountains and lefs in their
places by some glacier"
