torrents. The bushncn know how
to find water by digging in tho bot

They dig a hole three or four feet

KENT. July 13-lSpecial The council
last night refused to reduce the liquor
saloon license. Two of the three saloon
keepers petitioned for a reduction from
$3.50 to 500 per year. One of them gave
the council to understand that refusal to
reduce would force him out of business.
The council saw that two saloons at the
old rate would bring as much revenue to
the town as three at the reduced. figure
and concluded not to yield.
1t is yet uncertain whether or not the
furniture factory, recently destroyed by
fire. will be rebuilt, but there is some talk
of it.
No legal opinion regarding the validity
of the town bonds for water and light

A TRIUMPH IN SURGERY.
A Tumor and Organs Removed and tn
Patient Getting Well.

Three weeks ago today an operation was
performed at Providence hospital by DIR.
C. A. Walsh and his assistants which had
never before been attempted in this state.
1t is known as hysterectomv, and con-
sisted in this case in removing a large
tumor and the uterus and ovaries from the
abdomen.
The patient was Mrs. Osborne widow,
employed in Macdougall Il Southwick's
She is about 30 years of age. and has been
suffering the most terrible pains for at
least two years. This was the only pos
sible chance to save her life, and she pre-
perred to die under the knife rather than
undergo any further suffering. Death
might have ensued at any time through
blood poisoning, which would result from
a breaking of the tumor in the abdomen.
The operation has not been SUGGEST ully
performed many times in the world and
is one of the most difficult in surgery
The patient was prepared the night be-
fore, and after fasting up 10 the time, was
at IL o'clock in the morning brought into
the operating room, where she was made
aseptic by the application of germicides.
The an9sthetic used was chloroform. The
assistants were Drs. Churchill, Rawson,
Stevens, Kendall and Carpenter. each be-
ing assigned to a particular place with
special duties to perform.
The first step in the operation was the
opening of the abdomen and controlling
of the hemorrhage by the application of
ligatures. After this was successfully
done, the abdomen was explored by the
hand for the tumor and other conditions
requiring surgical attention. The tumor,
which weighed about eight pounds. to-
gether with the uterus and ovaries. were
brought outside of the abdomen by the
application of rubber ligatures and the
Wilcox pins. Then the whole mass of
matter was cut away. After ligaturing all
bleeding vessels, and clamping the stump
the incision in the abdomen was closed
with catgut, silk and silver hgatures.
Then the wound was dressed aseptically
and the patient placed in bed. The whole
operation lasted two hours and half
Since the operation the patient has not
taken any medicine except small doses OF
morphia, which had 10 be continued be-
cause of her having resorted TO il for
months before in order to relieve the in
tense agony which she suffered. For the
past ten days the patient has been taking
the ordinary hospital diet. anu has been
receiving the visits of friends. She will
be ont of bed in ten days She said re-
Gently that when she was laid on the op-
perating table she had made her peace
with God.

Defending Home dustries.

At the meeting of the Iron Moulders'
Union Saturday evening the question of
letting the contract for the iron work for
the new theater to an Eastern firm was
discussed. The members of the union
maintain that the reason given for so let
quired quality of iron material could not
be manufactured here without too great a
difference in price-does not hold good.
They claim that the iron work in the New
York building. which was manufactured
by the Washington Iron Works Company
is equal TO any that can be procured in the
East, and that the cost was but very little
if any higher. 1t is understood that a
committee was appointed to look into the
matter. Work in the trade is fair COM
pared with what it was some time ago.

A. Y. Presentine, of Sank City, arrived
in the city last evening and reports much
activity in mining in the Cascade and
Ruby creek districts. He said: "The
Ruby creek trail will be finished in about
ten days, as there is only about five miles
at this end TO build and it is easy work.
The wire bridges across the Skagit are all
built, one above Sank, 25i feet long. an
other at the mouth of the Cascade. 1S9
feet. and the third at the mouth of Ruby
creek, 100 feet. Each wire was carried up
by twelve men in a string, each of whom
had 100 pounds coied around him, and it
took them seven days TO travel twenty
miles. If any men want to go placer min
ing they had better stay away from
Ruby, for the whole creek is To-
Gated from one end to the other.

the way up. We are getting trade from
that district now and 1t is on the increase
