county, Wheat Belt, and sleigh bells

shrill whistle on the frosty air, as they
thresh out the golden wheat on the
thousand-acre ranches in the neigh

That was q narrow escape from
death Ernest Weiss, a Bellingham
Bay railroad brakeman made at
Sumas. He was knocked off the top

Returns are still coming in slowly
from the Danish, Swedish, Norwegian,
Danish-American, Swedish-American,
Scandinavian and Scandinavian
American societies of the Northwest,
denouncing Councilman Davis for his
bad break. All the unmeasured teams
known to civilization have been used

Mr.. and Mrs. William Newell, who
recently arrived in Spokane from
Manague, Nicaragua, where Mr..
Newell was United States Consul,
brought with them q native girl so
they could keep up their Spanish. Be-
ing reared in the warm climate OF
Nicaragua the girl contracted q violent
cold on the way to Spokane and is
now laid up. The first snow she ever

she meant to do with it innocently re.

her sister in Nicaragua.
A special from New Westminster,
B. c., says: Princess Louise, of
Tahiti, who has been a prominent
figure among the demi-monde of that
place for Is months, left for Victoria
lately, en- route to San Francisco and
her home. Something over two years
ago the princess, a niece of the reign
ing king and granddaughter Of Pomare
III, took passage on ship at Papieto,
Tahiti, for the neighboring island of
Macia to visit friends. The captain
became enamored of the girl, then 10
and handsomely formed, and instead
of leaving her at the island carried her
to Port Townsend, where she escaped
from the vessel and finally drifted to
Whatcom, where she met a country.
woman who kept q house OF ill.fame.
Compelled by circumstances, she
adopted the same life, and Is months
ago went to Seattle. Last December
the police raided every fast house in
the city, and Louise was among those
arrested and fined. She told her tale
to Sergeant Carly, who put himself in
communication with the consul-gen-
eral at Tahiti, the result being that all
her statements as to royal ancestry
were proven, and the King sent money
to large shipping firm in San Fran
cisco to pay her passage back, and
plenty to meet all wants in the way
of dress, etc. A few days, ago a good,
round sum was received by Sergeant
Carly from the shipping firm for her
expenses to San Francisco, and she
left nearly wild with delight at the
idea of seeing home again.
