It has the best car line in Seattle, is the

These are facts that cannot be disputed
and are entitled to serious consideration.
They will count nightly in the value of

at just such things in buying property.
Don't go haphazard. Temporary suburban
booms arc very tickle. It is only good In
side property situated in the direct line of
improvement that ALWAYS has value and
is always salable. That's the sort of
property to make money on in the long
run. People have made money in tenn

On motion of counsel for the defense,
the examination of Nathan Pickernell
for attempt to kill Dan Gagnon, was
postponed yesterday by Justice Cleve-
land until next Thusday morning at
10 o'clock The doctors did not think it
advisable that the complaining wit
ness should be cross-examined until
he gained more strength. There are
hopes that Gagnon's injuries may not
prove so serious as was at first sup
posed, and that he will recover the
use of his legs.

plentiful was the drift. One of the men
fishing for the Scandinavian cannery
lost about one-third of his net, and
another about one-half Many trees
came down the river, and whenever a
net got caught on one of them all that
could be done was to gather in as
much as possible of it, and cut it,
leaving the remainder. The entire loss
from this source Wednesday night can
not be ascertained.. but 1t is certain
that much damage has been done.

More Forged
Certificates Found

Some more forged certificates wer,
discovered yesterday by Collector Tay
lor, and the work is similar to tina
described in The Astorian a few weeks
ago, when a number Of the documents
bearing the notarial seal of A. r. Kan
aga, came to light. On the first o.
those discovered yesterday were tn,
names: c. w. Loughery, chief of po
lice, o. B. Estes, M. D., w. w. Parker
real estate and insurance agent, and
Herman Wise, merchant, in the order
In which the names are given. The
certificate is dated July Goth, 1891, OF
| several months before Mr.. Loughery
was appointed to the office of chief OF
police. On the second of the forgeries
appear the names of p. w. Weeks, R.
N. Carnahan, F. Sherman, and o. b
Estes, M. d.
On the third appear the signatures c.
w. Loughery, L. N. Mitchell, and O.
b. Estes, M. d. The imitation of DR.
Estes handwriting is almost perfect
although it is quite evident that the
same hand that wrote Chief Loughery's
name, also wrote that of DIR. Estes.
The certificate of the notary public
is as follows: II, A. R. Kanaga, here
by certify that I have carefully COM
posed this photograph with Chew Sam,
and that it is a true and correct pict-
ure of Chew Sam, and is a picture of
Chew Sam, made and taken by him
for. the purpose of Identifying him
while on his way to and from China,
and especially to enable him to land
in America after his return from China.
Witness my hand and seal this goth
day Of July, A. D. 1891"
But right here is where an import
ant omission is made The signature
of Mr.. Kanaga is not affixed, although
the certificate bears the impress of his
notarial SEAL The word "and," be-
tween the words "hand" (and) "seal,"
is also missing, but whether from de-
sign or not cannot be stated
The use of the word Composed also
occurs in each where the word "com-
pared" should have been used,
a popularity which was also
noticeable in the big batch dis
covered some weeks since.
Then again, the dispositions of the
Mongolians were not signed by the
deponent.
When P. W. Weeks was shown the
forged document with his name to it,
he at once pronounced it genuine, and
reiterated that he was sure of it, as he
had signed a Chinese certificate about
been made out. Deputy Collector Par
ker then showed him the certificate
he had really signed, and Weeks was
dumbfounded. The two signitures so
closely resembled each other that a
hasty glance was not sufficient to en-
able one to detect which was the true
and which the false. The photographs
were compared, however, and then the
fraud was disclCBed. Herman Wise
was also called upon, as were Chief
Loughery and Mr.. Carnahan. All OF
these saw the close similarity, but
upon scrutinizing the characters were
convinced that their signatures had
been forged.
The Customs authorities are now of
the opinion that they will be able to
sift the matter to the bottom, and that
the systematic frauds which have un-
doubtedly been practiced for some
time past will be saddled upon the
shoulders of he guilty.

The dread Of ghosts, so well known TO
all uncivilized and semiuncivilized coun
tries is common in the aborigines of
India to an unusual degree; the same
may be said of their Aryan conquerors
and the lower classes of Mohammedans
ALI Indian ghosts are supposed to be
mischievous, and some Of them bitterly
malicious The only means employed
to appease the rancor of these unlaid
spirits is to build shrines for them and
to make them offerings, such as fowl
pig, and on grand occasions buffalo
Any severe illness, and more especially
any epidemic disease, such as smallpox
or cholera, is attributed to the malig

"Snore," to breath hoarsely in sleep
The word means more. Its root is in
the Teutonic .'snar," which is the root
Of "snar," to growl 1t also means to
grumble 1t is an expression Of disgust
An intimate acquaintance with Yankee
idioms takes hold on the expression that
is put forward at an unsavory report.
"Well, snore!' which simply means
that the hearer is disgusted and says he
growls or snarls,
Another curious expression Of that
peculiar people is n snuml"-simply a
contraction OF I'm struck dumb" This
latter has no connection with the subject
in hand
To snore, therefore, means much more
than to make discordant noises in sleep

The head should be proportionately
large and well set on; the lower jaw.
bones should be sufficiently far apart to
enable the head to form an angle with
the neck, which gives it free motion and
graceful carriage and prevents it bear
