crate. The weight Of $4,000 in gold coin

Can You Guess?

If a goose weighs ten pounds and a
half it's own weight what is the weight
of the goose? Who has not been
tempted to reply on the instant
fifteen pounds?-the correct answer
being, of course, twenty pounds. 1t
is astonishing what a simple query
will sometimes catch wise man nap
ping. Even the following have been
known to succeed:
How many days would it take to
cut upa piece of cloth fifty yards
long, one yard being cut off every
day?
A snail climbing up pole 20 feet
high ascended five feet every day and
slips down four feet every night. How
long will the snail take to reach the
top of the post?
A wise mau having a window one
yard high and one yard wide, requir-
ing more light, enlarged his window
to twice it's former size, yet the win
dow was still only one yard high and
one yard wide. How was this done?
This is catch question in geome-
try, as the preceding were catch ques-
tions in arithmetic. The window was
diamond-shaped at first, and was
afterward made square.
AS to the two former, perhaps it is
scarcely necessary seriously to point
out that the answer to the first is not
so days, but 49; and to the second
not 20 days, but 16-since the snail
who gains one foot each day for Is
days climbs on the 10Th day to the
top of the pole and there remains.

Loyalty to Country.

Colonel Will Visscher, himself a war
veteran, has no sympathy for the spir-
it which animates some of his old
comrades-in-arms to stamp as traitors
to their country those who adopt as
an emblem of their loyalty anything
but the red, white and blue. The
Snohomish Democrat calls the colo
mel "the Wendell Phillips of the repub-
lican party" because he thus expressed
himself in the Tacoma Union:
There are people, candidates for Of
fees within the gift of the republican
party, who claim to be republicans,
who are as rotton as the bruised side of
bruised apple, and who have thus be-
come bruised by contact with the
earth earthly. They expect to take
advantage of situation today that
has been made by the mistake of their
party; they expect to profit by their
own wrong. Every feeling of the
American public today is against that
sort of thing, and this Union newspa-
per this morning arrays itself against
them. Men who assume to be of the
silk stocking element would do well to
exchange something of their rich hab-
ilaments for something that means
more than a ribbon antagonistic to
that which people wear who are strug-
Cling for the rights of men who work
and men who can and will fight

The nativity of the population OF
Chicago is interesting under the pre-

The school census taken few months
ago. and which included not merely
an enumeration of the children OF
school age, but the whole population
showed that there are l,562,796
neople in that city. A classification
of these by nativity brings out the
facts that 949,092 are of American
birth and 6l3,7O5 of foreign birth.

that a good percentage of the Amerl-

born in this country, both parents IN
most cases having been born abroad,

SHELTON. MASON COUNTY, WASHINGTON FRIDAY JULY 27 1884,
A Coast Lumberman.

A fine engraving of C. F. White, for
merly identified with Shelton's pioneer
logging railroad, appeared in a recent
number of the Mississippi Valley Lum-
herman with the following sketch:
can obituary is much more difficult
to write while the subject OF it is still
on earth. If it contains just praise it
may be charged to flattery; if con-
demnation, the writer might get
"whaled." However, as the subject of
this sketch comes of long lived gen.
Grafton, it is useless to wait for the un-
dertaker. In the first place it is de-
sired to call attention to how complete
a lumberman G. F. White is, and that
he carries his business into all details
OF his life. Even his clothes are some
times cut in the mill-this refers es-
pecially to his pants, which are "out
of sight" that is, in the accompany
ing picture. His hair is naturally
soft and pliable, hence he never uses
cylinder oil or black strap on it. One
eye, it will be noted, has little streak
in it-that is pitch seam-but the
other is a good, clear, all around eye.
Mr.. White has walked boomsticks so
much in his life that he prefers them
to sidewalks. This has made him
little pigeoh-toed, like P. D. Norton,
but not so much as Francis Roth or
Harry Foster, other well-known BOOM
suck climbers. The photograph from
which this was taken shows Mr.. WIS
benign countenance at its best. Ev-
identity he had just made sale of
good lot of Washington lumber. At
all times he has a good mill run face
Few men have served more thorough
apprenticeship as a lumberman, and it
has been his life's work. Two strong
characteristics mark him. He gladly
imparts his knowledge to his fellow
craftsmen and as freely Acknowledges
his lack of information in any branch
of the business. He was for years an
Iowa lumberman, in Keokuk and Mon
trose. At the latter place he was the
active head of the large firm of Healy,
Felt & White. Today he is the man
ager of the Gray's Harbor Commercial
Company's mill and plant at Cos
mopolis, Wash. His grades are stand
ard, and his methods business like.
His knowledge of the demands of the
eastern trade makes him valuable
man for company whose trade ex-
tends from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and covers the varied demands of
mixed cars, straight cars, bridge tim
bers, car stuffs and shingles, all calling
for good grades and good work."
