BONES AND TRADITIONS.

The Unearthing of an Original Nosseaek

Last week while William Thompson
and his wife were engaged in gardening
at their place up the wishsah river, near
the wishkah boom, they raked up lew
bones that aroused their curiosity and
led them TO dig deeper. The result was
that they found buried in the clay, at q
depth OF about eighteen inches, the irons
and rear portions Of what they concluded
once was an an Indians skull, several
rib bones and a pestle and an implement,

An Interesting Occasion.

Last Saturday afternoon the Aberdeen
Art League met in their rooms over the
postoffice, and listened to an interesting
paper by Mrs. A. HI. Lackey on the life
of Raphael. Mrs. A. G. Clark, the presi-
dent of the league, gave an instructive
talk on colors. Mrs. Hollomon and Mrs.
Morgan were down on the program for a
song and reading, respectively, and
acquitted themselves well.
On Saturday, June s, the league will
give public exhibition of the work
done, and close with an entertainment in
the evening.

TRADITIONS.
This discovery up the Wishkah is real
find, because Of the fact that the Wish
kah river in these days is summed by all
Indians. Under no considerations can
they be persuaded to further up the
stream than the Smith place, three miles
from the mouth. Even when crossing
from the Quinaiult or Humptulips coun-
nv to the Wynooche, they avoid crossing
the Wishkah by going around to the
north 81 its source. Their tradition Is
that many, many ages ago some great
eagle captured an enormous whale on the
sea coast and carried it to the headwaters
Of the river. and that the whales decay
ing Sody poisoned the entire river, so
that s great epidemic came and killed all
Of the Indians living along the stream,
and that the waters OF the river are dan
gerous even unto this day. From this
tradition the beautiful river has taken its
unSavory name, which in the Indian
tongue means Sinking Waters"

The Picture Tells.

The picture with the explatory
sketch under it has proved so edu-
cational and attractive that it has,
within the last ten years, changed
the whole force Of modern journal
ism. But it has been in the past
merely skit or a personal de-
scription, or the detail of some
event. Suppose the picture and
the writing be utilized together, to
tell almost all the world has Of
fered, and suppose, additional, that
great series Of such cOmbina-
ton be offered to the readers of a
daily newspaper for almost moth
ing That is what the LIGHT is
enabled to do now. The eXplana-
ton appears in another column,
A great series of views-of a char
acter never offered before in the
history of newspaper enterprise
is put in the hands Of the LIGHTS
readers at practically no price. 1t
is one of the events in the story OF
all journalism, and is a striking
illustration of what the daily news
paper may accomplish. Ten years
ago, five years ago, or one year age
the thing would have been impos'
sible.
The adornment of the home is
not what it used to be. There was
a time when what was artistic and
great cost more than what is ma.
terial. The engraving of any value
was more expensive than the ole
horse-hair sofa, beloved of our an
cestors. But art and science have
made great leaps, and the beauti'
full work of art upon the center ia
BILE is now within the reach of al
who are refined enough or wise
enough to secure it. The LIGHT
offers an opportunity to secure
such work at a price which is hard
ly to be considered, but which vii
surpass in beauty and value al
most anything ever given to the
public. But little clipping from
these columns, a little letter writ
ing, and the end is gained.
