The Bridgeport Standard, published
In Okanogan county, is urging the
board of county commissioners to make
the 81 600 appropriation for the RUBY
Creek trail. 1t says that the trall
means more for Okanogan than for
either Whatcom or Stevens counties"
The Outlook, published at Conconuily,
Opposes the trail because " there is no
assurance that any part Of the money
would be spent In Okanogan county"
The LoomistOn Journal sees no indica-
tions that Whatcom or Stevens coun-
ties will take any undue advantage OF
Okanogan, and in the name Of future
prosperity and enduring stability it
urges the people Of that county " to
put nothing in the way Of the public
road, and the desire of the state at
large to give Okanogan county one Of
the greatest blessings she could OBJ
tain.
These are the sentiments Of the papers
mentioned, and they have true ring.
The desire Of these journals for the well
fare Of their county is genuine; they
know the conditions and are compe-
tent TO speak of them. The Standard
Is right when it says that the construc-
ton of the road will benefit Okanogan
county more than either Whatcom or
Stevens, and the Journal rightly for
sees vast benefits for the people.
Whatcom and Stevens county have
done their duty in making the appro'
priations required under the law, and
If okanogan county does hers, the trail
will be built a wagon road will follow,
and within few years railroad will
connect the rich mining and agricul-
turaf districts Of those counties with
Bellingham hay.

THE MONUMENT. OrdtlOn, ana ar
rangements have been made whereby
veterans in attendance at the convention
in Birmingham, Ala, can visit Chicago
after the session is over and be present
at the ceremonies.
The monument is of Georgia pearl"
granite and is very handsome and inn
posing. The base is a series Of four
granite steps, and upon the face Of one
of them are the words Confederate
Dead" in raised block letters. The upper
base is ornamented with rich holdings,
and on its front is an enlarged copy of
the Confederate seal in bronze, repre-
senting a mounted figure of Washington
encircled by q wreath Of southern foil
age.
The die OF the monument IS one mass
i've stone 6 feet square and nearly 3 feet
high. with re-entering angles filled with
cluster columns with richly carved Ro-
manesgue capitals. On the north face
Of the die is the inscription, Erected to
the memory of the 5000 southern sol
diers, here buried, who died in Camp
Douglas prison, 1925" On the other
representing the Call to Arms" 1.-THE
Lost Cause" and eternal Sleep" These
panels are very effective allegories and
worthy more than casual examination.
The crown of the die has carved
wreath upon each side, and from its cen
ter springs the shaft, 10 feet in height,
which supports bronze statue of typ
ical Confederate soldier, feet high,
true to the life and perfect in detail.
The figure represents the soldier after
the surrender and is without arms or
accouterments. The entire height of
the monument, including the statue, is
SO feet inches.
The erection of the memorial is due
principally to the exertions of General
John G. Underwood, who was author
lied two years ago to solicit funds for
the memorial, and who raised the major
portion of the $4,000 subscribed by gen
erous Chicagoans. The design is Gen
eral Underwood's, though the plans were
prepared by Louis r. Fearn.

Ana The Winds RIeW.

Though winds blew great guns, still he'd whis-
tie and sing.
Says the poet. But it is often difficult
10 keep up the courage and good spirits
that way when signboards are flying,
roofs are becoming animated, trees are
giving up their precious branches and
electric wires become delusion and a
snare to pedestrians.
The violent and destructive wind
storms of recent date in various sections
OF the country are unwelcome disturb
ances. The ultimate cause Of the wind
Is TO be found in differences of atsnos-
pheric diversity produced by the sun in
its unequal heating of different localities.
But atmospheric circulation is as neces-
sary TO health as sunshine or rain. AS we
cannot prevent it IL we would, and we
would not If we could, let us be as phil
osophical as may be while keeping build
ings and signboards as secure as posi-
BILE. Probably the worst Of the wind
season is past unless abnormal weather
should continue, which is unlikely.

OVERRIDING Things.

No one Of the recent commercial fail
ares has a stronger lesson for men Of IN
bounded enterprise than that Of Erastus
Wiman Of New York city. For num-
Der Of years past Mr.. Wiman was special
representative Of a prosperous com
mercial agency, and the connection gave
him an income of $25, 600 a year, enough
10 satisfy ordinary ambition, and to earn
which it would seem that 300 and odd
working days are none too long. Never
theless, Mr.. Wiman for five or six years
has<een interested in a variety Of enter
prises, each of which was enough 10 tax
one mans capacity for administrative
work. One of them was a rapid transit
steamboat and railway line from New
York city across the bay and threading
Staten Island, lines aggregating over 80
miles.
After making good progress a couple
Of years Mr.. Wiman retired before the
system was half complete, leaving the
control and management to others. A
second scheme was to thread the island
with electrical railways, motive power
TO be furnished by lighting and motor
plant which has been under construction
over a year. Another enterprise has
been the erection of homes for the mid
ding classes, to be sold on installments,
with life insurance policy to secure
the payment and to secure the family OF
the purchaser in case of death. As
preparation for this enterprise Mr.. Wi
man. secured the title to about 1000
acres Of farm land accessible and suit
able for the purpose. incidentally he has
advocated and devised plans to carry out
a building and loan association with the
insurance feature attached to the loans
A racing association on the beach at
Staten Island is another project to which
Mr.. Wiman has given some attention.
All of these projects are feasible and
in line with public needs, and Mr.. Wi
mans intimate business associates de-
clare that if he had devoted himself to
any one of them exclusively he might
have made a fortune for himself and
created a public benefit as well. But
aside from inability to attend to so many
irons at once Mr.. Wiman had insult
ficient capital at the start, although he
was fortunate in possessing good credit.
With inceptive enterprises resting upon
foundations liable to be shaken in every
financial furry, the final outcome might
have been looked for. And along with
Mr.. Wiman tumble the schemes. All
of them feasible and reputable in them
selves, they must carry the stigma Of
having broken an enterprising man and
wait long time for new investors.
Meanwhile the people who stand in
need of the improvements must be the
chief sufferers. Does that sort of a
mania for doing things pay?

Vacation time is coming, and the sea-
shore dweller is getting ready to go to
the mountains, the tired city man is pre-
pairing to go to the country, the dweller
of the interior is looking forward to
visit to the city and the shore. Each de-
sires change, and so illustrates the law
that rest and 'recuperation come not so
much from cessation of activity some
times as from variety of occupation and
new surroundings, new faces and new
scenery. 1t is well that this is so, for
the visiting of new places and the max
ing Of new acquaintance tend not only
TO strengthen and refresh the tired toiler,
but TO make him broader in his views
and filter to understand the large prob
lens that as a citizen of this age of change
and progress he must grapple with.

A Brooklyn, New York, woman of
considerable enterprise has re-
Gently been caught carrying on a
unique but lucrative business. Through
the medium of Western papers she adj
vertised for a husband, stating that she
was handsome widow of twenty four
years. The photograph she sent was
taken from a negative purchased from
a Hudson photographer and repre-
scented the face Of girl she had never
seen.
OF course the handsome widow"
needed funds before she could start
West to join the man of her choice, and
of course there were plenty Of amorous
SWANS to send the needed money.
Like all things, however, which have
the root Of all evil at the base, the adj
venturesome female came TO grief.
Instead of finding the beautiful
widow Of twenty-five the police dis
covered besotted, stout woman Of
some fifty winters.
Moral: Young man avoid the matri-
monial advertisement.

ofTnterest TO whist PLAYERS.


The whist players of America are
greatly interested because of the pres
ence on this side Of the water of Henry
Jones. the Englishman who writes on
this noble game of cards over the sigma
ture of Cavendish. Mr.. Jones is here for
the purpose of taking part in the whist
congress that is to be held in Chicago,
and he is in great demand wherever he
goes. Whist players and newspaper
men beseech him for interviews, the
first class for the purpose of having
knotty points Of play settled by his auto
cratic tips, and the second for copy that
may be sold for shekels. The players
are delighted because the great British
expert says the American lead" has been
adopted by progressive English players,
and the reporters occasionally secure
enough of his time to enable the making
Of salable story.
1t should be understood by the public
that the whist congress is in no sense a
part of or held under the auspices of the
officers of the Worlds fair. 1t is an an
nual gathering Of whist players, who de-
cided to meet in Chicago this year pos
sibly because the fair is held there, but
its arrangements are entirely in their
hands and have been made independent
ly of the Columbian exposition's commits

and carries passengers from the foot Of
Van Buren, street in Chicago out to the
Worlds fair grounds and back. She can
accommodate over 5000 passengers and
has carried $500, bat she doesn't carry
that many every day. She can also make
20 miles an hour-at least her inventor
says she can-but that likewise she does
not do every day.
She looks queer as she rides upon
rather than in the water, a huge steel
cylinder, her conoidal bow and stern
shocking the average behoider because
they "seem out of form" She is 1863
feet long, and her greatest breadth is AZ
feet. In her bottom are nine compart-
ments for carrying water ballast, and
they will contain 1000 tons, insuring
her equilibrium as positively as any of
the old fashioned arrangements for the
purpose. The engines are of the triple
expansion variety and have q capacity
of 1900 horsepower.
The vessel is superbly furnished. Vel
vet carpets cover the saloon floors, and
the wainscoting and paneling are Of
polished oak. The lounges and chairs
are of russell leather, and light brown
tints prevail in the wall decorations.
There are bathrooms and barber shops,
soda fountains and restaurants tucked
away in various parts Of the ship, all
convenient of access, and the whole YES
sci is lighted with incandescent electric
lights. She cost $4,000.
Captain McDougall, the inventor Of
the whaleback, had hard time getting
capitalists to recognize the value of his
strange looking craft. For years he went
on building models, improving each new
one in various ways, but always retain
ing the Theoretically sealed steel cylinder
for the hull. In 1888 he built at Duluth
little 400-ton vessel which he called
the "101," but which other navigators
and vesselmen christened "McDougalls
Nightmare"
Soon after being finished the "101''
was smashed ON rock, and then
Captain McDougall, nothing daunted,
built the "102" on the same model, but
of double the capacity of the "10l.'
Then capitalists got interested, and the
Colgate Hoyt was built. which was soon
followed by the Charles w. Wetmore
built for ocean freight traffic, which
made voyages to England and around
Cape Horn and weathered gales thai
wrecked many old fashioned craft. Now
whalebacks cannot be built fast enough
and pretty soon they will not be such
strange things as they now SEEM

What the PugiIist Has Done Heretofore in
the Prize Ring.
Robert Fitzsimmons was born in Corn
wall, England, June 1. 1862. lie was
taken to New Zealand while still very
young. and remained there until he
crossed the Pacific ocean, landing in San
Francisco. He served his apprenticeship
in blacksmith shop. and was an expert
in horse-shoeing before he became known
rs boxer. When Herbert Slade. the
Maori. was touring through New Zealand
Fitzsimmons WAS induced 10 spar with
him. The result was a startling surprise,
not only 10 Slade, but to FitzsimmOns
himself. for the slender looking blacksmith
knocked out the giant in three rounds.
Fitzsim mons met Jim Crawford, another
heGvy-weight, and bested him in three
rounds. FitzsimmonS next defeated Jim
Slavin. brother OF Frank Slavin. Next
came Fitzsimmons meeting with Hall.
Fltzsimmons claims that In their first
meeting he defeated Hall in five rounds
ana that in the second, by preconcerted
arrangement, Fitzsimmons "wentout" after
a supposed contest Of thres and ha.f
rounds. Hall contends that mis- contest
was a bona fide fight on its merits, but
Fitzsimmons insists that he agreed to go
out"
The hardest fight of Fitzsimmons' ca
Teer was the battle with starlight" the
co.ored Australian middleweiQht Fitz-
simmons succeeded in knocking him out
in nine rounds.
At Jim Mace's boxing tournament in
New Zealand in 1870 Fitzsi simmons won
! first prize by knocking out four men in one
night. In the following year, 1881. Fitz-
sim mons knocked out five men in one
! night. Later he met Cooper and won in
four rounds; defeated Murphy in four
rounds; Brinsmead in two rounds Green
tree in four rounds; Randa !. four rounds;
| Fayar and Conway and Ellis in three
rounds each. Ellis being a heavyweight /;
and Prof. West. another big man, in four
rounds. FitzsimmoDs' first fight this side
of the Rockies was with Arthur Upham
| before the Audobon athletic club in this
city. whom he defeated as he pleased.
He next deiea ed Jack Dempsey before
the Olympic club, and later on went out
of his class and defeated Maher before the
same club.
