a pout eIght Years 40

About eight years ago the hydro
carbon 'Isoprene," which had pre-
yiously been identified among the pro-
ducts Of the destructive distillation
OF crude rubber, was discovered among
the volatile compounds obtained by
the action Of moderate heat upon oil
OF turpentine. Isoprene can be re-
converted into true elastic rubber by
the action Of strong acids, such as
muriatic. DR.. Tilden, who originally
made the discovery referred to, not
long ago produced from turpentine a
quantity of isoprene, which after be-
Ing kept for few weeks became
thick and surupy, with Jumps OF hard,
elastic substance floating in it. These
lumDs proved TO be true rubber, and
are supposed to have been formed by
the accidental presence Of acetic or
formic acid in the solution. This
rubber appears to be analogous in
every respect TO the natural product
and is equally susceptible of vulcani-
cation.
The discovery has been followed by
experiments to ascertain the feasibil-
ity OF manufacturing rubber from
turpentine on a commercial scale An
interesting field for experiments has
been opened up by this discovery, for
if, as is possible, other resins are
similarly susceptible of conversion
into elastic compounds, products pos
sessing properties Of peculiar value
may be developed, and in any case
the dearth Of rubber which has ex-
listed for some time in consequence of
the wholesale destruction of rubber
forests is likely to give no further
cnlIsp for alarm

THE LONDON LIMP.

In London years ago 1t was considered
quite the proper thing not only to use a
cane, but to have limp as well. All
this, too, because the popular Princess
OF Wales had both. This lasted as long
as her lameness, which Is now scarcely,
II at all, noticeable. To be without a
"stlck" was to be considered entirely
out of the fashion, and the more pro
nounced the limp, the sweller the fair

The Anniversary of the En-

Proceedings of the Superior
Court and New Cases

Notes of News Told Briefly.
Rumors Heard But Not
Believed

Friday was the first anniversary Of
the entrance Of the Canadian Pacific
railroad into this city. In year the
business of this road has grown from
nothing to its present important pro-
portions, handling freight to the ex-
tent Of 200 ears month, and becoming
the principal highway of Eastern goods
for distribution on the Northwestern
coast. Fully thirty cars per month are
received for local merchants and the
balance go south to other Sound cities.
The ears sent out from this city are,
with hardly an exception, loaded with
the product of this county, shingles
and canned salmon being the principal
items of shipment. This road was
opened through TO Seattle, by its con-
nection with the Great Northern, on
the l4th Of March, and is now bringing
500 passengers per month into the
state, many Of whom remain in the
county

Soldier Boys in Camp

Corporal Hincks, of Company +, has
been excused from further duty with
his company on the tented field and
returned to town yesterday. He re-
ports "A very successful encampment,
and the detail of the routine duty of
the soldier being rapidly mastered by
the various members of the companies
in attendance. The camping grounds
are beautifully situated on the line of
the branch road leading from the main
line Of the Northern Pacific to Olym-
pia, and about one-half mile back from
American Lake. The site is seventeen
miles beyond Tacoma, and admirably
suited TO the needs of the brigade under
charge of Brigadier-General Curry,
which is represented by 200 men, of
twenty-five companies. Colonel f. +.
Trotter, of the Fourteenth infantry,
and Lieutenant Kimball, of Fort
Townsend, are present at the camp as
representatives Of the regular army TO
give instructions where needed.
Great dissatisfaction has been felt at
the treatment furnished the COM
panies of this part of the state; the
members finding no accommodations
provided for them at Tacoma, where
they were obliged to remain over
night, and it became necessary for the
officers to dismiss the men that they
might hunt food and lodging. This
was due to lack of organization in the
quartermaster's department, which has
since been put into better order and no
such difficulty is likely to occur again.
The three Tacoma companies made the
trip 10 the lake in true soldier fashion
on fOot-and as the distance was
seventeen miles, with the thermometer
standing at 80 degrees, they arrived
thoroughly disgusted with the life of a
soldier.

At u o'clock m. next Thursday the
city of Fairhaven will be without or
ganized protection against fire. The
three companies of the department met
at headquarters last evening to take
action on the resolution to disband,
adopted at the general meeting of the

and each company voted to disband in
accordance with the sense of that
meeting.
The membership of the various COM
panies was not 50 well represented as
on the preceding evening, and the pro-
ceedings were quieter and character
lied with more calmness.
Bennett No. met first, and
promptly voted to send its resignation
to the city council next Wednesday,
and to turn over all uniforms and
property to the city at II O'clock, noon,
on the following day. A final meeting
of the company for the purpose of
winding up its affairs will be held
Wednesday evening.

ately after the adjournment of No.

Another slight accident occurred on

tween 7 aud s O'Clock by which one car
was badly smashed. Two cars met on
the line opposite the base ball ground,
and while one was backing down to
the side track, at the top of the long
cut, that the car might pass, the fol-
lowing car crashed into it with sulli-
cient force tD badly smash the front
end. No passengers were injured and
no damage done beyond the damage to
rolling stock and delay to traffic.
While "a dozen or more of the fire
men, who had assembled to attend the
company meetings, We're standing in
front of the engine house, "a cry of fire
was heard from across the street,
caused by flames discovered in small
building on Donovan avenue, standing
IN the rear of the DeF'ries building.
The flames had attained but a slight
headway and were soon eXtinguished
by line of hose laid across the street
from the engine house. A tomato can
bearing abundant evidence of having
contained coal oil, was found on the
ground close to the fire. The torch
had evidently been applied at the
lower corner of the building and the
flames had taken hold of the siding.

which he will describe and illustrate as
prelude to his lecture. He is well ac-

Our Boom in whatoom


Over in New Whatcom the air is full
Of rumors of great things being done in
Fairhaven. Stories Of the most gigantic
undertakings have been circulating
there for the past week, and received
with astonishing credulity.
A citizen of this city made little
trip to New WhatcOm yesterday after
noon, and on his return related the
stories he had heard in that city Of
what was to be done here. Here is "a
sample of how he repeated the many
rumors he had heard. The first man
he met asked
"Is it true that the steam shovel Is
on its way up to level off Dead Mans
Point?n
mo, / did not hear of it,
"-- told me 1t would be here to-
morrow"
The next man he stopped to speak
with wanted to know "if IL is fact
that they are building wharf out
from DE i'd Mans Point for Jim Hill's
steamers to unload at?"
The next man who had rumor In
his mind asked: "Say, is it true that
has contracted with q Seattle
agency for !, 200 men to 90 to work on
the water front at Chuckanut, which
he recently purchased" and another
asked for confirmation of yarn that
Felt had gone out to kill beeves for
/ 200 laborers soon to commence work
on Deadman's point. All these stories
and many more heard in walk of
block, 50 elated the Fairhaven man
that he returned and took all his real
estate off the market.
