A Single Packing Contest

The single packing contest on the
Fourth at Snohomish was one OF the
most interesting features of the days
events. This test of skill not one fur
nished entertainment for several thou
sand people, but demonstrated in a
practical way how it was possible to be-
come expert in trade that is of foremost
importance to this country.
Quite while before the contest crowds
began to collect in the vacant space in
front OF the postoffice. Presently three
fine appearing young men stepped up to
their positions and began handling the
shingles. They were w. S. Crook OF
Snohomish, j. Redmond OF Meclias, and
Frank Brink OF Everett.
Brink had some trouble with his ma
chine, and lost over a minute trying to
get his first bundle out. This seemed to
make him little nervous all the way
through. Crook and Redmond kept
pretty close together, sometimes one fin
ishing his bundle first and then the
other. The sympathies of the crowd were
Enthusiastically with Crook, he having just
gotten out of bed, where he has been con-
fined for some time with broken leg.
Just as Redmond was driving his last
nail, Crook threw out his last bundle,
amid the cheers of the crowd and con-
gratulations of his faiends. He received
$50, first prize, and Redmond $15, Sec
ond prize.
The actual time consumed in packing
5000 shingles was-Crook, 80 minutes 80
seconds; Redmond, SO minutes 45 sec
onds; Brink, 81 minutes 80 seconds.
After allowing for inch holes they stood
Crook, hour l minute q seconds; Red
mond, hour minutes 81 seconds

What the Secretary Said.

Hon. James A. Munday, of Vancouver,
returned from Washington city and the
Woild's Fair, recently. While absent,
he argued several important land cases
before the department, and had a CONVEX
sation with the secretary OF the interior
with reference to the status OF the North
ern Pacific railroad land in this district,
which resulted in statement from that
dignitary to the effect that the granting
act and the law in the matter would be
literally complied with. If this is done,
it will result in the forfeiture OF all the
railroad land in this county Columbian.

IMPORTANT RULING.

Decision of Department in Gailford Miller
Case Affirmed by Secretary Smith.
The celebrated Guilford Miller case,
which involves the rights of so many
settlers on railroad grants, has received
another official ruling upon the motion
for reviewing the case of Charles Cole VS..
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
which involved the ruling of the depart
ment In the case OF the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company VS.. Guilford Miller,
and by which counsel for the railroad
company asked that the decision in the
Guilford Miller case be overruled. Secre-
tary Hoke Smith has affirmed the de-
cision of the department heretofore
rendered in the last named case, SO far as
it held that the statutory withdrawal pro-
vided for by the sixth section of the act
of July 2, 1864, to the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, upon the filing of the
map OF the general route, became effective
in Washington territory when the map OF
July 80, 1870, was filed and approved,
and that said withdrawal, once exercised,
was thereby exhausted and could not be
repealed.
The secretary holds that the second
filing, made February 81, 1872, in said
territory, was without validity or sane
ton of law, either as an executive or
legislative withdrawal. He further held
that the map Of July 80, 1870, for the
then territory of Washington, was, as
shown by the certificate of the chief en-
gineer of the company, the result OF sur
veys and explorations made for the
purpose of determining the proper loca-
ton of the road, and indicated with GER
tainty that it was the intention of the
company that the route thus designated
should be the general route contemplated
by the act, upon which the legislative
withdrawal should take effect.
AS the case of Cole is controlled by the
ruling upon the first proposition, it was
considered unnecessary to pass upon the
question as to the right of the secretary
to withdraw lands within the indemnity
limits OF this load, after the definite
location thereof, and hence no decision
was made upon this point.

County Attorney Root, of Thurston
county, has appealed from a ruling of
Judge Irwin, in which he allowed attor-
neys' costs in a batch OF tax suits recently
dismissed from the superior court, in
compliance with an enactment of the last
legislature. The allowance was $40,
where answers were filed, and S. when
an appearance was made. There were
about 1900 suits in the county, large
number of which were dismissed, the
costs in which would amount TO several
thousand dollars. The county attorney
does not approve of the county paying
these costs, and hence the appeal. SINH
lar conditions prevail in every county of
the state, as the laws requiring the COM
mencement and the dismissal OF these
tax suits were general.

THE pension bureau has notified great
many pensioners throughout the entire
country who are drawing pension I'M
der the act OF June, 81, 1890, known as
the dependent pension act, that the pay
ment of their pensions will be suspended
for sixty days, during which time they
are required to show cause why they
should continue to draw pensions. This
section, pursuant to the recent ruling OF
Secretary Smith, is to the effect that
pensioner, under the act of June 81, 1890,
drawing a pension for total disability,
must be shown to be physically incapa-
BILE OF manual labor. 1t is estimated at
the pension office that, although the
work was recently begun, something
over 1000 suspensions have already been
made.

The Sister of Charles Dickens.

Letitia Mary Dickens, whose death has
been recently announced, was born in
st. Mary's place, Chatham, when her
brother Charles was about years old.
That was in 1916, on April 90, birth
day she was proud to share with Shake
speare. She was one of eight brothers
and sisters, two Of whom died in infan-
cy. Of the two Dickens girls who grew
up she was the younger, her sister Fan
ny, afterward Mrs. Burnett, being six
years her senior. Mrs. Burnett died in
early married life, her husband, who
survived her for many years, dying only
this year and on the date of Charles
Dickens birthday. For the last 90 years
of his life Charles Dickens therefore had
this only sister, Letitia, and she sur
vived him for a like period of 90 years,
devoted to his. memory. With her has
passed away the last Of the eight chill
dren Of John and Elizabeth Dickens.
At the age Of 20 she married Mr.. Henry
Austin, a civil engineer of some repute.
He worked for the government when the
insanitary condition of some country dis
tricts seemed an invitation to the cholera
in the early forties. and when he died in
1851, at the age of 80, his widow became
the recipient Of pension, on which she
lived in Spartan dignity during 80 years
Of mourning. London Illustrated News.
