Indian Estimate of q Dog.

Major Peter Roman, agent of the Flat
head Indians in western Montana, pur-
chased fine blooded and ugly faced
bulldog, not to guard his pleasant quar-
tiers at the Flatbush agency. but to give
his Indian wards a new subject for
study in the animal kingdom. The ap-
pearance of this strange quadruped
caused as much excitement among these
untutored sons of the forest as behe-
moth of the paleozoic age would arouse
by a sudden appearance on Main street.
The chiefs held long consultation
over the characteristics of the animal,
and finally decided to call him ''a good
bad dog" The first adjective is doubt
less caused by a certain Indian sense Of
diplomacy to be exercised in addressing
the animal. while the latter is evidence
of the red mans regard for truth at all
times. At all events, the name is worth
studying (Mon.) Independent.

The coloring, of course, is done by
the absorption of the oil of tobacco, but
if the meerschaum be burned ever so
little in smoking, it will not abso: the
oil readily or evenly. A good way,
therefore, is to fill the pipe with strong
tobacco and smoke it slowly until the
tobacco is one-half or one-third burned.
Lay it away till thoroughly cool. Shake
out the ashes, being careful not to dis
turb the unburned tobacco. Refill and
smoke out the last filing only. Repeat
this as often as desired and the color, if
the meerschanm is good, will appear up
to the line at the top of the tobacco that
has been undisturbel By tho time it
is well colored a clean pipe will be a
luxury.

INDIGNATION IN IDAHO.
Citizens Not Pleased With Hsrrison's Refusal 70
Send Troops.

Boise City, Idaho, July g.
Especial to Salt Lake Tribune. T.
The refusal of President Harrison
to send troops here as requested to
preserve order at the Ceur d'A-
lenes is regarded here as direct
slap on the part of the congress
sional delegation at state authori-
ties, and is keenly resented by
leading citizens here. They think
that the governor of Idaho ought
to know more about the needs of
the state than Shoup, Dubois and
Sweet who are in Washington.
However, the state militia will be
called out if necessary.
Word from the Ceur d'Alenes is
to the effect that the miners are
not surprised at the continuance of
the injunctions. They expected
this would be done. President
O'Brien of the miners union is now
in Ceur d'Alene and will remain
some time. He says the miners
are prepared to fight to a finish.
There are about 600 members of
the union in that section. Most of
them have united with the Knights
of Labor organization, as assem-
blies have been formed at Burke,
Gem, Mullan, Wardner and Wal
lace. They hope in this way to
avoid tho force of the injunctions.
A carload of provisions, the gift of
the Miners union of Butte, Mon
tana, and estimated to be worth
$25OO, was shipped in yesterday,
and the car was gaily decorated
with flags and inscriptions, one of
which read:
From the Miners Union of
Butte to Our Struggling Brothers
in Ceur d'Alene."
Several mines are worked wholly
with non-union men. The mine
owners do not discriminate against
union men, but employ all who
want work, asking no questions.
1t is reported that the scabs now
out-n lumber the union men.

incurred, and he is called to
pay, before making his protest,
and then it is too late to do anything
effective. When city debt is incurred,
a due regard for the public faith requires
that it shall be paid, and while such
debts nearly always are paid, the people
who have to pay, feeling that they
ought to have recourse or satisfaction Of
some sort, usually take it BY turning out
one set OF officers and putting in an
other, and so consider the matter reme-
died Too frequently it happens that
the matter is not remedied at all by this
action. Sometimes 1t is even made
worse. The reformers for s'reformers'
are always chosen on occasions Of this
hnd-turn out to be much like other
people. They sooner or later rush into
excesseB, if not of a similar kind, at
least Of as Objectionable kind, and the
taxpayers again find their substance
wasted.
There is only one remedy for this sort
Of abuse and that remedy the Spokane
people seem resolved to apply. They
are protesting before the mischief is
done, and they are protesting 50 vigor-
ously that their protests are going to be
effective.
II taxpayers would give a little more
attention than they do to public affairs
they would have less reason than they
now have to complain of bad govern
ment. 1t need cost them but little
effort to keep themselves posted as to
what is going on. Their daily papers
give them full reports usually Of what is
done at the meetings Of their servants,
the officials, and sufficient notice of all
expenditures is given through the
official paper. None Of these expensive
undertakings which consume the public
funds are entered upon without due
notice. Why don't the taxpayers in
all cities take note Of these things in
time, as the people Of Spokane are do
ing, and lock the door occasionally be-
fore the horse is stolen?

Another old settlers story is printed
this morning. Like the first one, IT is
made up largely Of incidents in the
writer's experience in the Indian wars
These stories are coming in by every
mail, and enough have already been re-
ceived to give promise that they will
make an interesting feature Of the
LEDGER for a good many weeks to come.
The Incidents described do not by any
means all relate to war. Some OF them
are very curious. some are humorous,
and all are very interesting. The
writers so far all seem to prefer to give,
with more or less detail, a sketch Of
their whole experience in the state, or in
coming to it, and while it was not the
original purpose OF these sketches to
collect, at this time, all the interesting
matter Of this kind that is to be had, all
that has so far came to hand is of value.
These letters will be a mine Of wealth to
the future historian.

RESULTS OF THE TARIFF.

The American Economist, a journal
devoted to the protection Of American
labor and Industries, having produced SO
many facts to show that prices have not
been increased one cent on any one line

tariff, is now deyoting itself to showing
what the actual increase of our manu-
featuring interests has been since the
bill became a law. 1t has prepared and
sent out blanks to all parts Of the coun-
try, asking for the names of new fac
tories, the capital employed, line Of goods
manufactured, men employed, wages
paid, product turned out, ETC., and also
similar information in regard to es-
adjustments whose facilities have been
increased. The returns have begun to
come in, and the first installment Of
Information is published in the issue of

A COLD BATH At THE WHARF.
R. ID. Ross Falls From a Staging Under
the N. p. Dock.

Messrs. Ross & Papst, engineers, Of
the water front, are laying a water pipe
to the edge Of the Northern Pacific wharf
at the water front, from the cliff along
under the dock. A staging had been
erected for the purpose. and while at
work Saturday Mr., Ross, Of the firm,
and Edmund Kingsbury, an employe,
were precipitated into the water in the
dark under the wharf, by the breaking
Of the chain which held the stagingup.
As both could swim they were not
much the worse for their wetting. Mr.
Ross had a valuable gold watch on
at the time Of the accident,
and as the water the two were
thrown into was not particularly clean.
the time-piece imbibed considerable
water and black mud. The watch was
promptly put into glass jar of kerosine
oil, which the Puyallup mud has rem
dered an inky- black color.

Robbed Of Dam Site ana Killed

PHOENIX, Ariz., April 10.-A serious
shooting afray took place this afternoon
at dam site on the Rio Verde, twenty
miles from this city. Captain John
King two years ago located a dam site
claim and has expended in the neighbo
hood Of $4,000 in improving and survey
ing the same. Six months ago com
pany Of Minneapolis capitalists jumped
the claim and began q series Of i'm prove
menta. They have been working a force
Of twenty-five or thirty men since that
time and have likewise acquired
title to about $4,000 acres Of
land lying under the contemplated
reserve. Yesterday King ordered the
party to quit work at the point of the
rifle, which they did. Later he insisted
upon their leaving their camp, and upon
refusal, fred several shots, none taking
effect A camp cook named Crum re-
turned the fire, hitting King in both
legs. He was brought to this city in a
precarious condition, and it is thought
he will die. .Crum is under arrest. 1t is
likely that a bitter feud will follow for
possession Of the dam site.

now 70 Impress THE STRANGER.


The extract from Mr.. Charles S.
Smiths interview with a New York
Tribune reporter, printed in the LEDGER
yesterday, must have surprised Tacoma
people-and Seattle people as well. MI.
Smith was here with the Carnegie party,
and spent half day in Seattle and the
other half in Tacoma. He was impressed
with both towns, and while he can hard
ly say enough about Tacoma as resi-
dence city, he thinks Seattle has the ad-
vantage from business point Of view.
Mr.. Smith evidently got mis- impress
sions Of both cities from the buildings.
He doubtless received some information
from people who talked to him in both
cities, but none Of it seems to have i'm
pressed him except the fact that Seattle
is soon 70 have four teanaeontiirne
railways reaching to Ii. 1t would haTo
puzzled Mr.. Smith, no doubt, ID name
these four roads at the time he Vas H.
terTieWed, and it will perhaps surprise
him yet to learn that two Of
Them viii become transcontinental
when their length is increased by
about 5000 miles. Tacoma also has
couple Of embryo transcontinental
roads Of the same sort, the Tacoma &
Puyallup and the Hart road, but nobody
in Tacoma yet seems to think of repre-
senting them to strangers either as ac-
tual Or prospective trunk lines. We also
have the Puget Sound Shore line, the
Tacoma, Olympia & Grays Harbor, and
the Tacoma & Lake Park, not to mention
the Peninsular Railway and Navigation
lines, with all Of which we might enter
tain the stranger if we would make the
most Of our opportunities.
While Mr.. Smith noted the new bust
ness blocks in Seattle all Of which have
been erected since the fire, ssand Of which
he takes pains to say, there are already
more than are needed and OF the fine
homes in Tacoma, he says nothing Of
our splendid wheat trade, AS president
OF the New York produce exchange this
ought to have impressed him, if it was
called to his attention. He thinks our
lumber interests have great possibilities,
though not just now in a very f1ourishing
condition. He does not seem to have
observed our coal business, the ships in
our harbor, or the fact that our railroad
connections are real while Seattle's are
prospective. Perhaps he was not told
what our bank clearings showed last
year, or what our wholesale and manu-
featuring business amounted to. The
smelter more than likely escaped his OBJ
servation, and the dry dock, Of course,
he did not see.
We evidently have much to learn
about entertaining our visitors. We
have too long been content to tell them
generally Of what we actually have.
Latterly we have even been neglecting
this to a great extent. They like to hear
what is going to be, and it is clear that
some who are generally pretty wide
awake are impressed by these things
quite as much as by the things that
really are. There is no end OF material
of this kind, and no opportunity ought
to be lost to bring it to the attention Of
men like Mr.. Smith who enjoy the best
of advantages for making use Of It to our
benefit.
