The Chaplin is working 6l5
MENoMl- men and the daily output
NEE runs from 1,So0 to 1900
RANGE tons. There is much specu-
lation as TO who win be the
purchaser OF the mine at the sale on the
twentieth OF October. There seems to
be a settled conviction that Rockefeller
will be a prominent bidder, and his well
known ambition TO become as much Of a
leader in the iron business as he is IN the
oil trade, lends strength Co this belief
1t is also asserted that Chaplin, the fee
owner, will be bidder; these with Han
ma 4 Company and perhaps some Others
will make fight which may result for
good TO the boudholders There is no
denying the fact, however, that Mr..
Chaplin with his possession OF the fee and
n lease on a straight royalty Of forty
cents, the terms OF which only he can
change, is in a position TO dictate 10 u
very great extent as 10 future ownership
Of the mine. Current.
A Cleveland publication which pays
close attention TO mining matters in this
region pays K. c. Flanagan Of Norway a
very handsome and well-earned compli-
ment on account oi his work as trustee
81 the Chaplin mine since he has had
charge OF il in that capacity. Mr.. Flan-
nigan has shown remarkably good iudg-
ment in handling the property and has
protected the interests OF all concerned
in IL with fidelity and unusual ability
IL was largely through his efforts that
the mine was started up several months
ago TO give employment to the men who
had previously been idle, and to permit
OF this being done, az the market ruled,
it was necessary that the Zee owners
should make an important concession,
which he succeeded in obtaining from
them. The workingmen Of Iron Noun

A HERALD reporter interviewed about
thirty Of the leading business men this
week on the subject of the necessity for
the change. He found never a dissent

quarters should he enlarged that they
should be in brick building and that
the change should occur at the earliest
possible moment. A difference OF opin-

A Worthy Enterprise.

The Ahtannm Broom Factory, of which
Messrs. Parker & Fisk are the proprietors,
is developing splendid business. During
the coming season they will enlarge their
field and their plant and their output OF
brooms will be greatly increased. The
article they have turned out this season
has never been excelled on the coast-or
elsewhere, for that matter-and the de-
mand for it is increasing rapidly. The
proprietors of this factory are IS carat
hustlers and the merchants uf this city
should see that their brooms are IN their
stores for sale in response to the demand
for them. 1t is certainly home industry
that should be encouraged in every sub
stantiai way. Broom-users should en-
quire for Ahtanum Factory brooms.

he wants his friends to know him here
after as Yakiman. As physician and

On Tuesday morning as City Marshal
j. G. Llggett was preparing TO leave home
for duty down town he met With an acci-
dent which will keep him indoors for some
time. In attempting to put his revolver into
his pocket it slipped and fell to the floor.
The jar caused one chamber to be dis
charged, the bullet striking him in the
fieshy part OF the left ley below the
knee, passing entirely through it. touch
ing the bone in It's course and, ranging
upward, passed through the ceiling Of his
residence. Captain Chapman and W. W.
Atherton were called to assist the
wounded man until DR.. Hill, who was
summoned, could reach him. The blood
flowed very freely from the wound, but
Capt. Chapman very skillfully checked
the hemorrhage by means of COM
press and the doctor found his patient
resting quietly when he arrived. lie
dressed the wound and, while no bones
we're broken, he assures us that Mr..
Liggett will get an enforced vacation
OF three or four weeks anyway.
Judging by the number OF similar &C.
cidents from which local police officers
have suffered during the past two or
three years, the situation seems an un-
fortunate one in this city.

The Paplop Talks,

Next week, March 10, the fourth OF the
parlor-talk series will be given at the
home Of Mrs. Edward Whitson. These
afternoons have all been good and have
given much pleasure to the assembled
ladies, as well as a profit to the library
fund. At the last meeting Mrs. Hamil.
ton read an excellent paper on woman
Her Influence, Her Aims and Her Pos.
sibilities." Fortunately 10 this day there
is no need Of the subject causing undue
excitement and Mrs Hamiton's paper,
while showing careful thought in it's
preparation, flowed most smoothly and
conservatively. Miss Bailey, as usual,
took part at the piano. Miss Baxter as
sisted her in pretty duet Of the "Alpine
Flowers" while Mrs. Horsley sang in her
pleasing way of the Kingdom of Home
At the next afternoon Mrs. Reavis will
give an account of Alaska" as remem-
bered from a visit there. Mrs. Boyle will
open with piano solo and the Misses
Maher and Wright will give some prom
ised duets on the mandolin and guitar.
These parlor talks have become feature
of profitable entertainment in this city
and the community has oaly begun to
realize their true value. Interest 10 them
is constantly increasing and most excel
lent work is being done aside from the
assistance given to the library. The
nominal admission fee OF % cents is freely
paid by those who have visited these
excellent entertainments.

The Literary OF February 10 was un-

now woman suffrage laws should be

crowd merry. They returned just in
time for supper. Prof. Hull acted as gen.
eral escort and participated in the fun.
Superintendent Lawrence delivered a
lecture to the students Of the academy
last Thursday afternoon. Subject: "The
Value OF an Education" His talk was
full of good points worth remembering.
We hope he will call on us often.

A Tragic Sequel.

W. N. White, who formerly resided at
Goldendale, this state, and who has rela
tives in this city, shot and probably fat.
tally wounded James S. Holt, at Seattle,
Monday afternoon, and then, being pur-
sued and forseeing certainly OF capture,
sho. himself through the heart. 1t i.
possible that Holt may recover, although
his three wounds from as.many shots BY
II 44-calibre revolver are serious.
w N. White was brother of A. &.
White Of this city, and brother-in-law
OF Chief Justice X. o. Dunbar. He was q
member OF several secret orders, and at one
time was prosperous contractor Of Sc
attic. Domestic trouble and consequent
dissipation, however, finally wrecked
him financially and mentally and it il
believed that the tragedy on Monday was
the product of dethroned reason. He
and his wife had been living separately
for some time. He charged Holt with
alternating his wife's affection. 1t il
belle ,ed that he brooded over these
troubles so long that he finally became
demented. and that the tragic conclusion
OF the trouble was the result more of in
sanity than OF anger.

which to make the following explanation
concerning the road law. "There are
many persons who do not know what the
road law is and want to say that any
person who desires to perform labor on
the public highways in the district in
which he lives and owns property must,
on or before March Is, notify the road
supervisor in writing that he desires to
perform such work. and he shall give the

cation possible on the tax roll for the pre-
