SwOrdnsn1ng.

S~wordfshing is at ono exciting,
perilous and remunerative. Last year
swordfsh sold as high as eleven cents a
pound in this port, and a single fish will
often weigh 500 or even 1000 pounds.
The method of getting the fish affords
an opportunity for great sport. Like
the shark, the swOrdfish can be seen for
a considerable distance by his black Tin,
which protrudes above the surface OF
the water as he swims. But unlike the
shark, the swordfsh noTes steadily
with the upper tip of his tail also out OF
the water, as rigid and steady as the I'm
itself. Swordfish also generally go IN
shoals.
The swordfsh is captured by means OF
a long spear or harpoon. To the shank
Of this spear is attached a stout hne
about COO feet long, md 70 the end OF
the line is made fast a stout, water tight
cask. Each harpoon is good for one
s~wordfish, and "a schooner usually carries
a considerable number of them.-Port-

This city was visited yesterday
by several head officials of the
Great Northern railway. Among
the number were General Manager
G. Shields, General Master Mechanic
j. o. Pattee and Assistant Master
Mechanic ]. r. Van Cleve.
AS is usual with railroad men of
their official position they would
not talk for publication, but con-
sidering their official positions
their object here may well be sur
missed. They were here to locate
the round-house and machine shops
for the division.
The officials, in company with
Agent f. A. Pratt, carefully looked
over the ground here and were
seen taking notes Of points and
localities that only such business
would require them to do.

The Pilot Bay SmeIter.

The man who has done more
and who is still doing more than
any other man to develop the
Kootenai county was in the city
this week. We refer to DIR. Hen
dryx, who is building the big
smelter at Pilot bay.
The doctor came up to look after
the shipment of the machinery for
the smelter. Six carloads have al
ready arrived and there will be in
all about forty or fifty carloads of
the machinery.
The cost of the work now in pro-
gress will be $25O,0O0. DIR. Hen
dryx says that he will be turning
out bullion before the snow flies.
The doctor left for home this
morning but will return again to
superintend the shipping Of the
balance of the machinery.

no means the most auspicious event of
the year. In fact on this particular
Memorial day it is doubtful if more
than half of It's fifty inhabitants were
aware of the occasion. But there was
one man who knew what day it was.
Long before the first lights of dawn had
twinkled from the eastern hilltops Silas
Elltins had left his bed. For an hour he
stood in the door of his little hut gazing
out into the darkness; then with some-
thing like diamond glistcning on his
hrawny check he turned, and taking his
rusty musket from tho pegs above the
fireplace went out. The pallor of morn
had melted into day, Silently he went
his way over the rocks and grass, paus-
ing here and there to pick q wild flower
or gather moss. Presently he stopped
upon II green ledge commanding
beautiful prospect of valley and hill.
Here beside u green mound ho lnclt
down and arranged garland of flowers
upon the dcwkissed sod. Then arising
he Strengthened himself with the air of
n soldier, and bringing his muslet to

Going some distance further he pulled
from his pocket a dirty old flag with wide
bars--a confederate ensign--and spread
ing it upon the ground he again dis
charged his frearm. Then with head
bent, as if in meditation, he rctraccd his
steps, When near his cabin he observed
a stranger approaching.
Good morning" said the latter.
'Mornin'," replied the old man.
"What luck?'
II hain't ben arter game"

: For another half hour we drove
through these unfrequented woods.
Then we came to cleared patch of
ground. Shrinking back from the road
side stood small black house with
low forehead above two crooked glass
eyes. The door looked like long fiat
characterless nose The thin strip Of
board warped at one end might have
been the up-twistcd mouth OF this
painfully ugly monster. "A scrubhy

means eternal peace. There can never

lighted by the stars and bound together
with the stripes of Americas banner.
Two metals cannot be mingled together
until subjected to hca; that will melt
them. There are metals too hard for
the use to which we would put them.
There are others too soft but we fuse
them together, and the malgam rcsistS
the attrition OF time, performs with
faultless truth the work we would have
it do, and carries it's worthy qualities to
lands and men of whom we never
dreamed.
In that fierce rushing together OF
armies in our late war there was the
furnace heat of passion which consumed
the very cause of hatred. No power on
earth but Americans could have in
vaded the seeding states. No people
on earth but Americans could SO long
have resisted the attacks of victorious
armies But the day when white
winged peace swept past the flaming
torch of war, cxtinguishiug its lurid
blaze, that day was soliditirl into one a
people who had never before been
united. 1t was little enough that the
nation set apart one dny for the COM
| mcmoration of an event which made us

accomplished. 1t Is fitting that once

blessed ears have never been disturbed

1t Is fitting they should know with an
increasing knowledge with each added

The triumph of arms was the proof OF
