Carkeek and Woods returning to Seattle
on Friday. There was some dissatisfac-
ton at first on the part of the residents OF
the old town about moving to the new To-
cation, but the company have arranged to
exchange lots and move the buildings to
the new site, and good feeling now gener-
ally prevails.
A tract 450 feet wide and 1000 in length
was reserved for the Great Northern, and
letter received from Chief Engineer
Becker fixes the definite location of the
depot about the center of the tract and
opposite the foot of Palouse street. Two
or three parties who are disguised because
the town was not located beside their pet
additions have been worrying themselves
and amusing other people by threatening
to contest the title to parts of the COM
pany's land.
Parties have been making arrangements
to plat a townsite at the mouthof Rock
creek. on the east side of the Columbia,
about fourteen miles below here; that
point will furnish shipping point for
some stock, and for small portion of the
grain raised in the Big Bend country. The
land Immediately around the place will
not produce without irrigation, and no
obtaining water for that purpose.
The weather has been warm for few
days and the Columbia river is rising rap
idly, and old mountaineers think 1t Will
be very high this season.
A Railroad Man From the Ground Up.
+. b. Wakeman, who has recently been
appointed general superintendent of trans
portation of the Great Northern. is a
veteran in the railroad service. Mr.. Wake
man entered he employ OF the Illinois
Central as night operator in 1860: after
two years service he was appointed train
dispatcher and continued in that capacity
for four years, when he accepted a similar
position with the Chicago. Milwaukee &
st. Paul at Prairie du Chen, remaining
there until 1870. when he was appointed
assistant superintendent of the company's
lines west OF the Mississippi river. The
latter position was filled until 1876, when
he was appointed master of transporta
ton of the Iowa division and branches
of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
where he remained until 1870, returning in
that year to the Chicago. Milwaukee & St.
Paul to assume charge of that company'S
car service. In April, 1879, he was APP
pointed superintendent of the ST. Paul q,
Pacific, and continued in the same posi-
ton when that property became the st.
Paul, Minneapolis 81 Manitoba. In 1881
his title was changed to superintendent of
transportation of all divisions of the same
company, and again in 1883 to assistant
general uperintendent, occupying that
position at the time of his last appoint
ment.

Still Passenger Worked or Counter
felt Bill on Him.
NO" said the cable-car conductor in
answer to a question by Washington
Herald reporter. Il don't often get bit.
Some who are not up on money get left
badly sometimes, though. You would
not believe it. bat sometimes have as
many as half a dozen persons try to
work off mutilated money on me during
a single trip. But I'm not often caught;
I've had too much experience in making
change" The conductor then turned
to mild-loolSing man who had bill
folded lengthwise between his fingers
The man with the bill had got on the car
Some squares back. and the conductor
should have collected his fare before, but
he had allowed the man with the bill to
wait AS the conductor turned towards
him. the man with the bill saidi Here,
quick, make your change, want 50 get
off at this corner" He showed the bill
into the conductors hand: the latter
Just looked ut the denomination Of the
bin, pushed his hand into his coat
pocket, and after being told tickets"
by the passenger. gaVo him soventy-dVe
gents change Then the passenger
Jumped of, and the conductor took out
long Pocbetbooiz IN which he kept his
bills and prepared to put the one he
had Just received with the rest. AS he
spread the bill cut he took a second
look at it and his face assumed an
anxious expression Then he looked at
1t again and passed it to bank clerk
who was standing ON the rear end of
the car smoking cigarette. The bank
clerk carefully scanned the bill and
then handed it back with the single
word counterfeit" Then the bright
conductor, who had but moment be-
fore been Dragging about his shrewd-
ness, growled out: 'Duped again!
There goes half of my salary, too. 1
think I'm the unluckicst man aliVe!"

Altar of Boses Costs Money.

When you see genuine altar of
roses" offered on the bargain counter"
for twenty-five cents a half-pint, you
are justified in suspecting that article,
remarks the Buffalo Commercial The
real ''attar" comes in copper canteens
which weigh about twenty ounces.
They are valued at one hundred dollars
apiece. The present supply of altar is
chiefly derived from a small tract of
country on the southern side of the
Balkan mountains, in the Turkish prov
ince of Roumania. The principal seat
of the trade Is IN the town of kizanlik
and the damasl1 rose is the flower grown.
The peasants plant it in rows in gar
dens and field. During the month of
May the flowers are gathered by boys
and girls in sacks and close baskets.
The flowers are daily distilled that they
may lose none Of their odor by delay
it is said that about seven Thousand five
hundred pounds of flowers are required
10 produce two and one-quarter pounds
of pure altar.

An Ennrmnns Snrn.nt-

The largest serpent of which accurate
measurements have been taken and
noted was an anaconda which Dr. Gard
ner found dead and suspended to the
fork Of a tree during his travels in Mex
leo. 1t was dragged out into the open
by two horses, and it was found to
measure thirty-scven feet in length.
Inside Of il were found the bones and
flesh of horse in a half digested state,
and there WAS no doubt that it had
swallowed the animal whole. Dr.
Gardner and other travellers say that
an2condas, pythons and boas attain
length of over forty feet, but there is
TO recorded instance OF one having been
encountered longer than that which
has been mentioned, though many per-
sons have seen serpents alive which
they estimated To be of considerably
larger size

Dixon Will Not Fight Griffin.

George Dixon seems to want none Of
Johnny Griffin's game, and the latter's
$1,000 forfeit remains uncovered. If
Dixon would retain his position as the
champion featherweight he must meet
and defeat Griffin, who stands head and
shoulders over the other small men in
the country. He is strong as an OK,
and as clever two-handed man es
there is in the country. He can find
backing for any amount for fight
with Dixon, and that should be the
colored lads next fight Dixon is talk
ing of taking on the Kentucky Rosebud
instead of Griffin, but will lose caste if
he does. If he can defeat Griffin he
can win more than in whipping three
of the Rosebud class, and the fact that
he is letting Griffin alone shows con-
clusively that he feels the Braintree
man is too strong for him

Don't Smoke Fast, Let Your Bowl Cool
Repeatedly, Avsia Sudden Chill.
To color q meerschaum properly is an
art, says a writer in the Washington
Star. In the FIRST place one must smoke
1t slowly and crly just fast enough to
keep tho tobacco burning, without over
heating the bowl AS soon as / have
smoked one Pipefui OF tobacco let the
pipe get cool again. In this way I shall
eventually give to the whole delicate
ly-shaded tint Only a careless smoker
VII permit the bowl of his pipe to get
scorched around the edge. Further
more new pipe should never be
smoked out of doors in cold weather
nor laid on cold marble o. glass, as the
chill is apt to crack the meeschaum
Meerschaum would not color at all but
for the fact that il is boiled in wax. If
used in its natural state it would quick
1y become soled, the material being so
porous that 1t abSorbs the slightest
moisture from the hand or anything it
comes in contact with But the wax
fills up tho pores and gives the meer-
schaum a sort of enamel. A pipe that
has been spoiled by overhsating so that
it will not color can be reboiled in wax
and restored to some extent This kind
of work Is done in the trade by experts,
for it requires great skill Vienna is

there are the following particulars con-
corning minute paddock: In the TWEEN
tleth year of the reign of Queen Eliza
beth. Mark Scarlet, a blacksmith,
made lock consisting of eleven M
pieces of steel, iron and brass, all OF
which, together with the key, weighed
but a small fraction over one q ain. He
also made chain of gold, consisting Of
forty-three links, which, after fastening
it to the lock and key above mentioned,
he put around the neck of a common
flea, the whole being so minute that the
little insect could draw them over a
silver plate with perfect ease All of
these together, lock, key, chain and
flea, weighed a slight fraction less than

LIZARDS THAT CAN FLY.
The Graceful Little Saurfans Found In
Bornso and Nowh ere Else.

The Graceful Little Saurians Found In
Bornso and Nowh ere Else.
Borpeo, 30 far as Is known, says the
st. Louis Republic, Is the only island or
country on the globe that produces
species of flying lizard. These little
f1ving saurians have all the grace of a
bird and as great variety of cotOrs as
tropical butterfly. One representative
of the curious tribe of reptiles, Draco
volanS leekii, Is from twelve to six
teen inches in length, the primary col
ors being blue and yellow bands con-
nected by a series of red dots situated
so closely together as to give them the
appearance of being continuous car
mine lines. The tail of Draco volans is
long and slender, flattened lSterally,
very flexible and in several other WAYS
calculated to serve as n rudder. The
wings are not wholly unlike the sails"
that in the case of the lizard they come
much nearer to being two wings, Draco
having full control of them, which can
not be said of the squirrel mentioned,
the last named creature only using his
winglike appendages as a sort of a par
achute. With the lizard it is different;
he leaps into the air from his vantage
ground on some high limb and scars off
in any direction as easily and as grace
fully as some gaudy insect, rapid move
ments of the legs and the rudderlike
tail serving to steer the ethereal crea-
ture in any direction desired. Draco
volans was unknown to naturalists
prior to 1889, and may even now be said
to possess many characteristics not
thoroughly understood.

white Foxes in tho Far Northwest

A Vancouver furrier was exhibiting
short time ago what he claimed were
the pelts of FIVE white foxes. The man
is an expert naturalist, and has been
dealing in furs in the northwest for
forty years. He says these are the first
white foxes he ever heard of, but he is
absolutely sure the pelts are genuine
fox skins. The conformation has been
carefully preserved, and the big brush
IS of course, attached. The fur is snow
white, spotless and beautifully soft.
The furrier bought them from a seal
hunter who caught the foxes at the last
station to the north of eastern Siberia,
several hundred miles north of Petro-
paulovsky.

and not joggie about so much. At the

got off. His wife went on TO the ground
floor. for which they had started, and
sat down in the store to await develop
meuts
The man came down the stairs pretty
soon and pretended 20 be showing the
store to the boy.
