Our Land of tho Midnight sun

Writing Of Alaska in the North
American Review for May, Ivan
Petroif says: At n comparatively in
significant expense to the government
we have learned more of Aiaska's
geography and topography, its people
and ITS resources, In twenty-five years
than Russia learned or tried 10 learn IN
one hundred and twcnty-siX years Of
pdsscssi0n. Our people have drawn
more money and products out of the
country than the Russian people did,
and our government has received more
revenue from the country than the
czar's treasury ever derived from the
same source. For the twenty years
preceding the year 1860 the gross re-
ceipts of the RnssinD-AmeTican Com
pany from all sources in Alaska were
about Sii 600 600, out of which divi-
dends were paid amounting 10 81 ,bO0,-
900, and S2,2jO,O00 10 the Imperial
Government in the shape of import
duties on Chinese teas purchased with
Alaska furs. During the twenty years,
hom 1870 to 1890, we drew from Alaska
products Of various kinds 30 the value
Of over $GO0OO,O while the United
States government received cash
revenue of over 5000, 900.

A DEATH DEALING DISK
A Horrible Accident in a New
Whatcom Shingle Man
ufactory
Joseph Reigle Almost Instantly
Killed BY Falling on
Circular Saw
The Details of the Casualty as
Witnessed by Those Who
Were Present

A terrible accident which cost the
unfortunate man his life, almost in
stantly, occurred in DeCan's shingle
mill, New Whatcom, yesterday after
noon at 4:i0 O'Clock Oceans mill is
situated on the tide flats between i
and G streets. Ii is small story and
half building and is reached from
Thirteenth street.
The man killed was named Joseph
Reigle or Reagle and had only gone to
work that morning, He was attend
ing the bolter, a f0.inch circular saw,
which cuts the cedar logs into the
proper lengths for the manufacture of
shingles. These "bolts" are placed on
an inclined elevator Immediately TO
the left Of the bolter and carried to the
story above.
As the elevator moved upward with
its load one Of the bolts became dis
placed, and it is supposed that Reigle
in an attempt to prevent it from falling
on him, slipped, a part Of his clothing
caught on protruding hook and he
was thrown with all his weight on the
sharp jagged tOothed saw.
The result was frightful in the ex-
treme.
A HERALD reporter was at the scene
of the accident five minutes after it oc-
cure /. Near the entrance to the mill
lay the dead body Of the man covered
with IA blanket while the floor was
almost literally deluged with his life
blood. The cruel saw with its Jagged
teeth and the frame work in which
il Is set was also covered with blood
and strips Of flesh and fragments of
bone
DIR. Bragg arrived very shortly after
the accident and uncovering the body
he examined the wounds while the
spectators looked on Mortified.
The right arm was completely sew
cred at the shoulder and was attached
to the body only by shred of flesh,
while horrible ragged cash extending
laterally from the shoulder to the hip
had severed every rib completely, eX-
posing the stomach and intestines. A
look of horror was i'm the half-closed
eyes Of the dead man and on the face
was "a look of agony which plainly
showed that while the suffering must
necessarily have been brief, it was most
poignant.
Two other mill hands were on the
first floor of the mill at the time, and
one Of them, named j. NJ. Riddle, saw
Reigle fall upon the bolter and then
drop 20 the floor with a groan, the
blood squirting in torrents from his
side. Reigle never uttered word and
was dead within two minutes after the
accident occurred.
Reigle came to New Whatcom from
Pennsylvania last fall or In the early
part of the winter. He was Al years OF
age and leaves "A wife and family, who
reside on Meridian street. He has q
son, a young man, who Is employed in
! Lovel's mill.
The body was taken in charge by
| Undertaken Bracket and conveyed e
his undertaking rooms.

Los Angeles herald., 1892-02-06

THERE is perhaps no surer sign OF the
strength of public man than the Bit
terness of abuse he is subjected to by
the party opposed to him. Measured
by this rule, Senator Hill of New York
is by long odds the strongest man in the
Democratic party. There is no vituper-
alton or invective too gross for the Re-
publicans and their coadjutors, the
Mugwumps, to assail him with. As to
con6ning themselves to the truth in his
case, this is the last thing they think Of.
Slander and abuse are their weapons
but in the face OF the brilliant public
career OF Mr.. Hill, these unworthy as
saults fall from him like water from
a ducks back. These people forget
that vili6cation never yet succeeded in
accomplishing the ruin of public man
whostood in conspicuous position for
the highest honors of the republic. No
man was ever the target for greater
abuse and detraction than General
Jackson, vet he was the idol of the peo-
pie. If man possess the right kind oi
courage, supplemented with merit, he
can defy partisan SANDER. Mr.. Hill has
shown that he can pursue the
even tenor of bis way regardless
of the storm of invective hurled at
him by his enemies. New York has
never had an executive who gave her a
stronger, more efficient or more
economical administration than that of
Senator Hill. He has developed a pop
ularity in that state on account of his
great qualities that will carry him
through any opposition his enemies may
interpose in his triumphal way.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-02-06

We SHALL probably have law out of
the present agitation in congress against
dealing in options that will in measure
correct the worst features of gambling
IN wheat. A vast amount of testimony
is being taken on both sides Of the ques-
tion, and the operations of stock and
wheat boards are being closely exam
ined into. There is no doubt that sell
ing ''short" has tendency to interfere
with legitimate trade, and to depress
prices when they ought from natural
causes-that is, supply and demand-to
be buoyant. The fictitious selling of
enormous quantities of wheat and pro-
visions, contingent on "future" prices,
is certainly illegitimate speculation, and
calculated to produce panics and to dis
turb and disorganize legitimate business.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-02-06

Six of the most bewitching of them gave
out that a social would be held
in hall, and that they
would give surprise for the
gentlemen. And sure enough they did.
When the curtain was raised these
handsome lasses werc discovered with
placard announcing that they could be
kissed for quartet a kiss. The stage
was soon filled with customers, and the
quarters fell in shower into their
aprons keeping time with the shower of
kisses they received from the gentle
men. During the intermisson the
wives of Burns worked themselves into
a fury, with the result that they rushed
on the stage, tore down the curtain and
put the pretty debt-payers to fight. The
balance OF the church debt will be raised
by some other method.
