j. j. Tyler, Of this city, who has been
absent In the Okonogan country since
July, returned home this week and will
remain during the winter. The mining
interests in the famous Okonogan coun.
try, he says, are very quiet. Little has
been done during the past season save
development work. The only mill ope.
rated was the Black Bear. The work Of
development, however, has been fruitful
OF good results. Prospects have been
opened that promise well. The general
scarcity Of money has prevented any
sales OF consequence in that section.
THE repeal OF the Sherman law without

the effect of closing up, temporarily at
least, every silver proposition in the dis.
trict. Increased inquiry" he added. sis

money become more plentiful, l expect

though, have closed for the winter"
Now that they harvest is over and
much of the products OF the farms has

cts so generally that the country appeared
to be almost wholly without the very
necessary circulating medium with which
to make "the mare CO." Every recent
change has been in the direction OF re-
lieving this situation. Money is more
plentiful elsewhere, and our patrons will
not, we are sure, purposely overlook THE
HERALD, for, despite troublous conditions,
we have endeavored to print good paper
and are conscious of having succeeded
fairly well. This, however, we will leave
to the judgment OF our readers who, we
believe. will not overlook this request.
"The Story of Kiss" in which Miss
Merli will be seen tomorrow night, in
our city, is play Of intense interest. The
scenes are laid in Paris at the present
time in four acts: Act LIST, "Twixt Love
and Duty" act End, ''The Hope Fulfill
ed" act 3rd, "The Marriage Spectre -
act 4tb, God Disposes." The part which
Miss Merli assumes is very difficult one,
portraying a character OF intense feeling
whom circumstance has thrown in such
position that her love, ideas of right
and disposition weigh in the balance
against her duty. How many are placed
in such position and how many can
stand the test? There is strong moral
to be learned with which our theater goers
will benefit by attending the performance.

Matt Stanton, Of the Ahtanum. brought
to this Office on Saturday a sample OF
dried prunes of the French and Italian
varieties. Mr.. Stanton has the only
evaporation in use in the county. In his
orchard he has $50 tRes, from which this
year he dried over 500 pounds. The fruit
is excellent in flavor and ought to sell
readily in the local market, to which Mr..
s. looks for disposition of his crop. The
product is cleaner and shows more careful
handling than that which is ordinarily
imported from other states. The best
product Of California is not superior to the
samples shown. That there Is good profit
in prune culture has been amply proven

Deputy U. S. Marshal Wills continues
to arrest bad men for selling whiskey to
the siwashes. The Jail is full, but it will
be fuller il the whiskey traffic between
the bootleggers and Indians continue on
Deputy Wills's territory. And it seems
to continue as long as there is hobo ia
sell the pizen or siwash to drink it. He
took in another on Wednesday and has
two or three more in view. Such service
as this will ultimately destroy the boot
legger's business and render tragedy less
liable on our public highways.
