SYLVESTER PENNoYER

Byars West, a young man about Is
years OF age, was shot and probably
fatally wounded by William Grouse,
in the woods near Winlock Tuesday
morning. Grouse had taken Win
chester rifle and with a companion
had gone to shoot bear. He saw the
boy, and installing him in the distance
for bear, he fired, the bullet striking
young West in the back, in the region
OF the kidneys. Physicians who were
called to attend to the wounded man
do not think he can possibly live.
Grouse is young unmarried man.
He has not been arrested, as it is clear
from the statement of both himself
and companion that the shooting was
purely the result of q mistake, He is
completely Frustrated over the I'M
fortunate affair.

The Northwestern Lumbern,an says
" Washington fir and cedar are max
ing Roadway among the Car builders.
Two considerable orders for cars have
recently been placed, one with the
Wells & French company, of this city,
lTacoma), and the other with an
Indiana factory. The specifications
called for Washington fir or cedar
sides and decking, Of white pine. Thus
Pacific Coast lumber was put on an
equal footing with white pine. This
shows that the car builders have
made themselves acquainted with the
adaptability Of fir and cedar to their
purpose, and are willing to use it if
they can buy it at figures to suit"

Mail Bids.

The Postofiice Department has
opened the bids for the star routes OF
the United States, and our State, be-
ing at the bottom OF the list, has, of
course, come last, and the result just
been made public. The bids are gen.
orally lower than for past service. In
that for an Alaska ronte, a remarka-
bic decrease is noted. Mailbags are
now carried monthly, from Sitka to
Unalaska, 1850 miles and back, at an
expense OF $l0,4G0; but Leon Sloss
has put up bond for $4,000 that he
will carry them for 81 AS per annum.
The service between Fort Wrangel and
jackson, 206 miles and return, thir-
teen times year, was carried last year
for S7G5.73. The lowest bidder this
year is William Taylor, and he wants
I'll ,G25 for the same service.
The new lettings will establish a
messenger service at Sultan City, Sno-
homish county, to connect with the
train service OF the Great Northern
Railway. A service has also been
established from Lowell TO Monte
Cristo railroad depot.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Co.
will be awarded the service between
Puget Sound and Alaska at $4,000
per annum.
DR.. J. c. Colgrove, OF Portland, who
is representative Of the Pacific Navi-
CATION Co. has upset the calculations
of many bidders for routes on the
Sound. He has the lowest bids on
nearly all the principal routes, and
this will cause delay till February LIST
before the Department makes an
award.
The service between this city and
Shelton is now performed for $2,723,
but Robert S. Smith offers to assume
the duties for $2,319, and he figures as
the lowest bidder ON several other
routes.

Why lonely longer roam:"

THE COUNTY HAS TO PAY.-The
Supreme Court has decided that the
State is not responsible for costs in
cases of felony, when the county Of
ficers receive salary. The opinion
holds that the State cannot allow the
county for the clerk and Sheriff's fees,
for that reason; that the county is
obliged to furnish the jury at its own
expense; that the work of the
stenographer and plats for illustrating
the premises where the tragedy &C.
cured are conveniences, not necessary,
and the State is therefore not liable
for their cost; that defendants wit
nesses should be allowed fees by
the State in the Superior Court, but
not in the preliminary examination.
The rule has been for the State to pay
costs in all cases of felony success
fully prosecuted, and it seems strange
that the responsibility should fall
elsewhere just because a different
method is employed in payment OF
the county officers. If this was the
intent of the trainers of the salary
bill, it was certainly not apparent
when it passed the Legislature.

The sum total OF the Whitman
county taxes for the year of 1893 is the
greatest ever known in the history of
the county. This is the first year in
which city taxes have been computed,
but, emitting the city tax from this
years total, the amount OF taxes would
still be $S5, 900 greater than last year.
The grand total of all taxes is $432,-
and the equalized valuation of
property in that country is given at
$19,757 $3.50.

that there was quite boom in Olym.
pia property from the rates at which
William E. Sebree, of New York, has
been selling town lots to his uncle
William r. Sebree, of Owenton, KY.
Lots 3 and 4 of block %, known as
the Reagh property, corner of Third

sold for $4,000; the north SO feet of
lots 10 and IL block 1, Maple Park, for
$1,000; some lots in Simenson's sub.
division of Sebree's addition brought
81, 200, and others in the addition
proper, $4,000. If these prices are to
prevail, people should take heart and
Danish the cloud from their brows.

Yakima county comes to the front
this year in the matter OF hop produc.
tion-the total output reaching the
large number OF 10000 bales and over.
But great many hops were lost on
account OF improper curing, so many
of the growers being inexperienced
themselves and trusting that i'm
portant part OF the business to incom-
petent help. However, their ex-
perience of this year will enable them
to avoid like errors in the future, and
a vast improvement both in quantity
produced and quality may be con-

RAILROAD RUMoRs.-The rumors of
renewed activity on the Union Pacific
grade grow daily more numerous, and
seem to be made of more substantial
fabric. That the Great Northern is
contemplating some movement with
reference to the abandoned grade and
right-of-way, seems apparent, but what
it is, If the great manager of that road
has yet decided, is simply conjecture.
That the Great Northern should seek
connection with the rich trade of the
Willamette is only natural, and the
link between Sound and river is the
shortest and best route. Amid the
rumble of the construction car on the
grade, the clink of the mason's chisel

harbor, will be heard the accompany

MYSTERIES!
The Nervous System the Sea,
of Life and Mind. Recent
Wonderful Discoveries,

Recent discoveries have demonst rated that
oil the organs OF the body are under the con.
troll OF the nerve centers located In or near
the base Of the brain. and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When Il Is re-
cord will cause paralysis OF the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion. Ii will be understood how
the derangement Of the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement OF the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thrds OF chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base OF the brain. not from q derange-
self. The great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases Is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause OF the trouble.
DIR. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
cialist, has profoundly studied this subject Tor
over 20 years. and has made many important
discoveries In connec ton with Ii, chief among
them being the facts contained In the above
statement. and that the ordinary methods of
ness, duilness, confusion. pressure. blues,
mania. melancholy. insanity, epilepsy, st.
matter how caused. The wonderful success Of
Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine Is due to the
fact that 1t Is based on the foregoing principle.
