Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Port
land, Maine, paid the amount of the
policy carried by him, to his supposed
widow. A few weeks ago Mrs. Olney,
who resides in San Francisco, was
immeasursbly surprised by receipt OF
a letter from her husband, whom she
long mourned as dead. He was liv-
ing with his mother at Hammonton,
N. j., and a few days later he ap-
peared in person to confirm the claim
that he was still alive. He claimed
that on starting out for row, on the
day of his disappearance here, he met
with an accident at the draw. A
small steamer crowded him against
the piling and in some way he was
struck on the head, and he claims
that he knew no more till he found
himself walking the streets OF Ia
coma. Here he read the account OF
his disappearance in newspapers and
was so mortified by the occurrence
that he decided to 60 away. He went
to Spokane, then to Northern Idaho
where he worked in the woods for 3
time, then to Central Iowa, and
finally to his mothers home in Ham
monitor. There he became sick
which accounts for his long silence
This confirms somewhat the report
brought by Henry Kiesl, that he saw
Olney in the Okanogan mines, few
weeks after his disappearance here
Otherwise his story seems almost in
| credible.

The CATHOLIC CoLLEGE.-It has
now been definitely settled that
the Catholic College of the Bene-
dictine order of St. Johns Abbey, will
be located near this city, ST. acres OF
land having been purchased for that
object adjoining Woodland, about
three miles east of this city. The
tract purchased was school land and
obtained from the State. It possesses
excellent soil, plenty of pure spring
water, and is within convenient dis
lance from town. The delay in this
matter has been occasioned by the
fact that the promoters of this pro-
ject had obtained title to 160 acres of
land in Cowlitz county, and it was
there they proposed establishing the
college. Father Classens of this city
induced these gentlemen to visit
Olympia before beginning active
operations which they did with the
result Of being so favorably impressed
with the superior advantages of this
location that they agreed to change
the site, provided our citizens would
take the Cowlitz county land off their
hands. This was agreed to, and the
lost, about $l,4OO, was raised by
subscription. 1t is proposed to begin
at once work upon temporary build
ing in which school will be opened in
the Fall, and to begin soon as possible
the construction of the costly perma
nent buildings demanded by the work
they propose to inaugurate. The
home of the order in this county il
near Minneapolis, where structures to
the value OF million or more dollar
have been erected.

Sounds Heard at Times OH
SkoOkum Bay.
Camping out" has not commenced
this spring, because it has never ceased
all winter. Every few days tiny
craft driven by wind and tide will rush
into our quiet cove to anchor in safety,
and soon the white tent and curling
smoke of campfire signify that the
! folks are at home under the shelter OF
the friendly evergreens. We often, on
our way TO the postofiice, meet people
in row boats with guns and camping
outfit, rowing industriously. No time
/ to wait for the tide; must get to the
! tlam-beds before the tide turns. That
is the open restaurant, free to all, good
/ food for those who will dig.
Even now, in this uncertain weather,
hunters camped on Pickering's pas
sage are wantonly killing hundreds Gf
one may Judge by the sound Of the
guns of grouse and pheasants that
are nesting almost in our back yards,
while the spent shot occasionally rat
! tie on the roof, so much regard do
campers and hunters have for neigh
borhood rights and ways and customs.
read in an Eastern paper that the
star fish used as fertilizer would in
few years ruin the soil for gardening.
Will some old rancher on the bay
come forward and say if this is true as
regards the Sound country.
AS TO the mysterious murmuring
sound SO often heard ON Skookum
Bay, we concluded long ago it was
"gulf stream" on small scale. fresh
| water river on the bottom of the BAY,
running very swift, with a succession
of falls and rivers and rapids from
Skookum point near Shelton to Hun
gerford's point, near Arcadia. There
| is every indication of a Tumwater
long drawn out, and such falls under
water would make the murmuring,
| tinkling, buzzing sound that is re-
garded with gruesome awe by many.
But, dear me! All these wise con-
illusions are quietly put aside as not
worth a thought, and with clearing
up-of-anything-obscurs air the old
sailor of Shelton, with a positiveness
not to be questioned, informs all who
care to know that these sounds are
made by fish. Hear that, we timid
campers - nothing but fish. The
drum fish, this man informs us, makes
these sounds on the mud flats of Shell
ton as we'll as near the supposedly
submerged cliffs Of Skookum. that at
extreme low tide If one were to wade
around in the black slime and turn up
the rocks that they will find the drum
fish; tap it gently on the head with a
stick (be sure it is stick, for their
spines are sharp and quite invisible),
and at once will commence that pc
culiar humming sound, so hard to de-
scribe or locate. at sounds to me-"
says this old-timer, "like a swarm OF
bees under dish pam" One always
looks into the air when hearing it ior
the first time.
One last wOrd-welcOme, campers;
there is no better pleasure: young and
old and all 60 camping. Welcome to
the hooks and dells and coves OF
Skookum. 1t is Skookum. But do
not shoot the nesting fowl and do not
shoot our harmless house dog again.
