In addition to the already known fact
that Washington hemlock bark is super
Tor to Eastern hemlock in that it contains
sixteen per cent tannin as compared with
the eleven per cent Of tannin which Penn
sylvania hemlock bark contains and eight
per cent in bark further Fast, expert
ments just concluded in the Willapa
Harbor Tannin Extract works show that
Washington hemlock bark is even su-
perior to oak bark for tanning purposes.
1t is found that the hemlock bark here
combines with it's superior dumping
qualities the better color which has here

SOME IMPORTANT STATISTICS.
Showing the Volume of Business In Some
OF the Leading Industries Of the
County, in 1891


Below We publish some interesting facts,
taken from the Vidctte, regarding the
more important labor-employing indus
tries of Chehalis county, showing what
was done in the way of business in these
branches for 1891, The figures were as
certained by the county assessor, in col
lecting statistics for the worlds fair,
while taking the annual assessments.
The figures are at least approximately
correct, being given by the men engaged
in the business referred to. There are
number OF mills in the county that were
not reported. The same is also true of
logging camps. In the figures given be-
low, camps which turned out less than
1OO,0 900 feet of logs during the season are
not reported. There are a number of
these.

During the year there were twenty-one
logging camps in operation, their total
output being 51,O75,OOO feet Of logs.
These camps employed 2S9 men during
this period, paying them total in wages
of $S3, 1926.
Some items of considerable interest
were picked up by the assessors in. differ
ent parts Of the county. For instance in
w. D. Mack's logging camp there we're
II 900 logs, which had been scaled, and
which averaged APO feet Of lumber to
the log.
S. L. Lamb, farmer residing few
miles east of Montesano, raised an-aver-
age of 10S bushels Of oats per acre on 8
acres of ground. This was by machine
measure; by weight they would have
averaged more. He also raised 1850
pounds Of peas per acre.
The farm of James Gleeson, ST., pro-
duced twelve tons Of potatoes to the acre,
and 81 tons-of hay per acre.
1t was found that east of the Satsop
river grains ripened better, and wheat
especially was more adapted to the east
ern part of the county than nearer the
coast, while hay yields much better in
that part Of the county west Of the Sat-
sop.
There were many facts ascertained as
to the productiveness of the soil of Che
halls county, which would astonish east
ern people, but we refrain from publish
ing them for fear Of taxing the credulity
of our readers.

advices dated the 18th say the Legislature
is still in session and had on that date
reached its sixty-seyenth day. The Cabinet
Is still incomplete.
With regard to the annexation of John
ston Island by Il. M. 8. Champion, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs states that the
Cabinet has not been officially informed of
the occupation of the island, but it is the
impression of Her Majesty's Government
that Johnston and Kaluna Islands are still
portion of Hawaiian territory. Not hav-
ing any official notification OF the seizures,
the Hawaiian Government considered it un-
advisable to enter protest, believing that
Great Britain, on ascertaining the facts, will
withdraw without formal protest.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, reply
ing to the question, "Is the Government
doing anything toward selling or leasing
Pearl Harbor to the United States?" said
the Hawaiian Government has never sug-
gested transfer of any part of Pearl
Harbor or any part of the Hawaiian Do
minions to any foreign power

tion in the Hawaiian postal savings bank

garded literally instead of eccentrically
His followers and admirers, and the former
were the latter, became the despair of
parents and the rage of EMPLOYERS. The
clatter of the hoofs OF his fiery black mare,
Princess, rang out challenge to respecta-
bility at untoward hours, and children crept
under coverlids and the cabmen in front of
the Exchange muttered: 'There goes that
wild divil Ruthven agin."
Now, Reuben was fond of riding; indeed,
it was the least harmful amusement that he
knew. But there was a careless dash in his
going that seemed disreputable to the good
ly inhabitants, and because his fancy guided
his outings its vagaries were deemed
vicious.
One afternoon Reuben was galloping over
the one pleasant road which led out of
Aberdeen, on which, unfortunately for his
reputation, the one pleasant roadhouse of
the vicinity was situated. Preceding him
was farmer ON o load of hay discussing
weather and crops with another farmer on
load of sand, and incidental thereto these
two farmers, with rural contempt for all
who do not pay turnpike tax, were oc-
cupying the entire way A light turn of
the hand and the gallant black was in the
ditch and out again in 'front.' But Reuben
afterward remembered that he had indiffer-
emily thought what q nasty barrier these
would have made against runaway.
On he sped around the bend of the road
and under the shade of the twin rows of
naples when rapid rattle and patter at
tracted him. A team of ponies before
phaeton had made bolt of it, and were
coming toward him at rate which would
be the despair of all ponies thereafter A
young girl with white face and compressed
lips sat upright within, clinging to the
reins bravely, but most Intellectually. 1t
was all done SO easily that no wonder Reu-
ben laughed away thanks. Black Princess
was whiried around and plunged beside the
affrighted pair. A long slender hand was
outstretched and grasped the curb with
giants grip. The ponies fell back on their
launches, the phaeton swayed and stopped
within ten feet Of the bucolic gossips
"Shol That's Squire Dalton's darter,"
quoth one.
True! Be yer hurt, Mamie?" asked the
other.
This gave Ruthven his bearings, He
knew the old-fashioned mansion of the Dal-
tons on the lane mile distant, so he turned
the ponies and begged to assure the Young
ing at their head to her fathers house.
When they drew up before the broad
portico the farm hands, startled by rumor.
thronged about the horses as if aiding in the
rescue. Ruthven assisted Mary Dalton to
alight, and as her little hand rested within
his grasp and he gazed into her clear gray
eyes, he felt that he had at last met his
hearts desire.
II thank you," she said, calmly. ssYou
must come in and let my father thank you
also"
And Ruthven followed her as one NAV
enter temple after weary pilgrimage

BROKE THE ORE RECORD.
A New Lake Steamer Carries 4,808 Tons
From Escanaba to Chicago.

A New Lake Steamer Carries 4,sos Tons
From Escanaba to Chicago.
CLEVELAND, Aug. M.-[Special. 1.-The
Mariana, recently launched at South Chi
cago and owned by the Minnesota Steam
ship Company, which comprises the same
capitalists interested in the Illinois Steel
Company, has broken the lake ore record
on her maiden trip. Monday she left Es-
canada with 4, sOs net tons of ore for South
Chicago, drawing II feet inches of water
The record was held by the Maryland,
launched last year at Detroit, which a few
weeks ago took down 4, 103 net tons of ore
to South Chicago.
These great loads illustrate what could be
done on the lakes if it were possible for
boats to load to II and IS feet between
upper and lower lake ports. This load was
possible only because there was straight
sailing with no rivers or shadows to pass.
The Mariana, for example, will probably
bring down only 1000 tons from Two Har-
bors whereas with deeper channels she
could carry 4,S00 and could afford to trans
port ore for 20 cents ton less than current
rates, reduction in transportation cost of
nearly 20 per cent.

chance gift of the night had brought him
thrill of Joy?
Up and down the room the faster strobe
Ruthyen as his imagination revealed q
happy future. He saw himself going about
among men doing good. He heard the
prayers, he felt the tears of gratitude. He
recognized appreciation IN the glances OF his
fellow-citlzens, and these filled him with an
honest pride. His heart was always Light
because he never considered its pangs. And
then the day came when lair hands were
stretched toward him, when a tender voice
said: "You have proved your worth, dear
est. I can now trust you, as have always
loved you.
Oh, vision of ioy supremel He saw him
self seated within the cozy inglenook OF
home. About the room that form so dear to
him was fitting, on witely cares intent,
while around his neck tiny arms were en-
twined, and his cheek was caressed as that
of the mendicant had been.
Ruthyen stopped short and stood Tor an
instant in a state OF exaltatioD.
s'Thank Godp' he cried, "[ am saved

In his fervor he brought his clenched fist
down heavily on the stand. There was a
sharp report, q moan, and Reuben RuthVen
lay dead in mis- great armchair.
And through the open windows came the
plantiYe strains of the poor woman's lull-
ably.
The next morning, even while the care
taker was fleeing terror stricken from the
awful stare OF death, Mary Dalton sang
blithely as she culled flowers for the break
fast table; for her heart was bounding with
rapture.
''He will surely come to-day" she mur-
