to foot, but this passed unnoticed.
WIND. wind. wind. Oh, would the
Internal strain never cease! 1t seemed
rs if every fiber in Il man was ON the
point of cracking had never felt any
thing like it before.
Up! up! AT last the necks of the
dredges appeared above the gunwale
rollers. Up! up. and they were on deck
and their contents dumped out in heap.
Then we fell ON our knees and COM
menced 10 separate the oysters from tho
loose shells, flinginy them behind us to
form pile as we did so. ANY extra
shells that were sticking to them we
broke off with our "culling hammers"
AS soon as we got all the oysters out of
the heap we quickly shoveled the loose
shells. stones and seaweed overheard.
"Culling," as we called the operation Of
picking out the oysters, was q sort of
rest after tho terror of the winding. BIZ
this time, or usually little before it, so
that i'll reality we never got real
breathing spell, the captain had pr. the
boat aboutand was again ready to give
the word to heave tho dredges over
board.
Again would .ome the terrible spell of
winding and comparative rest of culling.
To finish my story must say that our
awful work continued without break
up to sunset, barring the few moments
we got to snatch bite of food. Then
we made fast the dredges, washed up
the decks and made for the nearest cove
or harbor. Arriving there, we let go the
anchor and took i'll and furled the sails.
After that came supper, and then we
piled wet, weary and detected into the
forecastle. The day was ended.

CHELAN FALLS, Wash, Nov. 25.-In
the Pacific northwest lately opened to

Indians with Il remarkable attachment
for their lands. These lands were orig

tribes. Well defined tracts are beuueath-

of this peculiar attachment occurred on
the upper Columbia river. near the pres

A party of white men led by j. NJ.

Columbia looking for homcstcads along

One OF those rarely clever plays that
appeal to all classes in all coun tries,
Jane" which has no superior as
farce production, will be presented at
the Academy of Music next Wednesday
evening for one night only. Jane"
has been magnificent success in three
countries. France, England and
America. 1t has been played in New
York four seasons, and has delighted
great audiences in Boston, Philadelphia,
Washington, Chicago, st. Louis, San
Francisco and other cities, and our
theatregoers will have the good fortune
to witness an interesting presentation
OF the play with the principal cast that
has been seen in New York, including
Miss Kitty Cheatham as Jane" 1t is
no undue praise to assert that no comedy
of similar character, which has been
produced in recent years, can compare
with Jane" in respect to bright
dialogue, iudicrous situations and clear
cut, well'cut, well-constructed story.
From the rise of the curtain on the first
act until the finish there is succession
of complications so skillfully interviewer
and also neatly handled that laughter
Is incessant. Jane" will be preceded
by the favorite little curtain raiser
entitled "Chums." which may be
readily recalled as the New York
