Modern Steel Boats.

From the Shipping World
Ships boats, made of steel, with
out seams or frames, and in all re-
spects a vast improvement upon
wood or metallic boats, have been
tried in various liners and cargo
steamers with great success. Just
as pistons, back and front plates
of locomotives and marine boilers
are stamped true to gauge from
plates of mild steel, so are these
boats pressed out. There are hy-
draulic presses which dies and
stamps, so that the shape pro-
duced is that of one half of a boat
lOngitudiOnally. A plate of thin
Siemens-Martin steel is placed on
the press and comes out shaped.
1t is then placed alongside the op-
posite part, and the garboards and
ends are riveted to a bulb bar,
which forms the stem, keel and
stern.
Another advantage which at
tends the use of steel boats is that
they are much easier to pull than
to sail, because the wetted surface
is so much less, as is also the skin
friction, than is the case with
wooden boats. Weight for weight,
a small wooden boat is rather
lighter than a steel boat, but a
first-class ships lifebOat made of
steel is lighter than a similar boat,
if built of wood. Lastly, steel boats
are cheaper in the end.
Their first cost is somewhat high
er than wooden boats; but, on the
other hand, they cost nothing for
maintenance and repair. If a
steel boat is dented through
bad handling, a carpenter can
very easily take out the indenta.
ton with a wooden mallet, where.
a wooden boat when damaged re-
quires extensive repairs. This IA
cility of repair to a steel boat is one
of its greatest merits; such is the
quality Of the mild steel employed
that it will not fracture.
The boats are always available
they require no protection from
and are unaffected by the weather
Like all vessels built of steel, they
require considerable attention K
prevent oxidation, but this is easily
effected with the ordinary appli
ances on board ship, and, providing
proper care is used, a steel boat, a!
a steel hull, will last for years.

A WEALTHY INDIAN.
He Drives in Carriages but Makes
His Own Costumes.


From the Walla WaIIa statesman.
Residing at a place on the Snake
River known as FishOOk Bend lives
the wealthiest Indian Of his tribe,
Wolf, chief of the PalOuse Indians.
He owns 100 acres Of land, all I'M
der cultivation, with good house
and barn, and well stocked. He
raises horses principally, being
the pOssessOr of over 1000 head at
the present time. He has shipped
several thousand head, at one time
shipping 5000 head, and at another
1900 He is A. years of age, but
looks much younger, and has a
physique that many a weakly
paleface might envy. Withal, he
is widOwer, having already lost
two "klOOtchmen."
Wolf dresses in Indian costume
with red blanket thrown artisti-
cally over one shoulder and calico
Orwhite blouse shirt quite decOllette
to display necklace composed Of
many cOlored beads, bears teeth,
shells, etc. Rings adOrn his fingers,
upon the third finger of the left
hand being a handsome seal ring.
MOccasins deliberately beaded in
close his feet, and his hair is cut
with MOdOc bang and cOmbed
pOmpadOur, while his long black
hair is divided into many strands,
each bound with colored silk
thread. He wears hat, but adOrns
his head with feathers, the ends of
which are bound with silk. Another
favOrite headgear with him is SIM
ply the rim of a hat decorated all
around with coyote tails. This he
wears upon state occasions. Upon
his wrists he wears ten or twelve
brass wire bracelets. He is said
to possess a most amiable DISPOSE
ton, being always pleasant and
agreeable to his tillicums. He
keeps a dOublc-cOvered carriage
and fine span of horses, and drives
into PascO in state, putting up his
team at the livery stable with in
StructiOnS that he wants his
horses taken care of "same as
white man." He buries his
money and is fond of unearth-
ing and counting it over before
his close tillicums. At one time
he was known to count out $4,000
in $2Olgold pieces. Shortly after
ward he sent his son to bring him
$500, and, upon investigation, 10
and behold, the gold was missing.
They say the chief is much wOr-
ried over his loss, and has a detec-
tive employed to try and trace up
the thief, and believes he has some
hopes of recovering it. When he
comes to Walla Walla he ferries
across Snake River and drives over
in his carriage or rides one of mis-
horses, the latter being his favOrite
way of travelling, true Indian style
With all his wealth and good
comfortable house, he has his tepee
and prefers living in it.

THE SUPREMACY OF LAW.

There is but one course open for law
abiding, law-loving citizens, and that is
to stand by the law and insist that
those who are suspected or arrested,
shall enjoy the right to speedy and
public trial" according to the forms of
law prescribed by the State.
1t is also their duty to insist upon
the enforcement of law even though it
may not coincide with their personal
views. They should stand by our Off
Gals in the performance of their sworn
duties and uphold in every honorable
way the dignity and inviolability of
law. Any other course will surely lead
towards anarchy. Any and every ex-
cuse for lynching, any condoning OF
mobs is most dangerous and no good
citizen ought to keep silent in presence
of these wholesale violations of law.
Lynching is murder and those who
assist in mob vengeance are partners
in the crime. Public sentiment must
be aroused along this line, and it must
be understood by every body that If
our laws or our methods for trying
criminals are not what they ought to
be, then we are able and ready to
amend them so that law shall continue
supreme.

The absolute enforcement of church
and State is tenet in the political
creed of every true American. Its vi
olation would shock the very founda-
ton of Republican institutions and
render free government impossible.
The writer has very earnest convictions
on this subject: But we desire to cor
rect an erroneous impression that has
crept into the minds of some people
with reference to the political rights
of a minister of the Gospel. 1t is a
very common thing to hear the learn.
ed man of the street corner with more
bowels than brains, inveighing in thun
der tones against the preacher, med
ding with politics him "to
attend to his flock, and look after their
souls salvation, and leaving to him and
other men the management of temper
al affairs" This sort of advice is usu-
ally given to the preacher, where there
is a questionable scheme to be worked.
1t is not the fear that the laws OF God
will be applied to the temporal gov
eminent of man-but it is rather the
fear that moral, virtuous and honor
able influence will be exerted upon the
ignorant, drifting, floating and convic-
tionless voting population with which
ministers usually have influence. That
is it. We think that because man
has taken upon himself the most sa-
cred duty of spreading the "glad It'd
ings of salvation" and laboring to up
build the moral and spiritual condi-
ton of his fellowman, it does not nee
essarily follow that in order for him to
do it, he must surrender all of his po-
litical rights and renounce his allegi-
ance to his country. We think his du-
ty is the contrary. He should exert
all the influence he has for the right
looking always to the glory OF his
country, and the best interest of eve
