Sale of q Tacoma Mill.

Tacoma, Sept. "A rumor is in
circulation here to-day, apparently
well founded, that the Hanson or Old
Town saw mill property is no longer
the property of it's founder. The mill
was built in 1868 and has a record Of
the largest single days cut of lum-
Der in the world, but one, the excep-
ton being a mill in Sweden. Han
son, the owner of the mill, is ten
time millionaire, at present resident
of San Francisco. He made his pile
out of Puget Sound timber. When
Mr.. Hanson first came to Puget Sound
and started his mill his good judgment
told him that there was great wealth
in the forests surrounding the Sound.
He bought every stick of acreage tim
Der that he could raise money to buy,
and at the time he bought it it only
cost few dollars an acre. When Mr.
Hanson got too rich to live in Tacoma
he moved to live in Tacoma he moved
to San Francisco, and started in the
"commission" business simply to
amuse himself, but within a few years
his business grew to such proportions
that his agents were recognized
throughout the world. Now he is
satisfied and is willing to leave bust
ness alone and has made his last trip
to Tacoma in business way as owner
of the Tacoma mill. He has not sold
the mill for cash, but has turned it
over to a company that will look out
for his interests and at the same time
will not trouble him with anything
like monthly statements of where the
ships are that he owns.

The lumber resources of the state
Washington are the admiration OF our
people will long play an important
part in trade. Our lumber goes to
nearly every part of the world, and
vet there is room to very largely in
creased shipments. October and Nov
ember will probably witness the great
est activity in shipments this year.
AS an example of the monster logs
our mills cut up into lumber that IS
the admiration of all who handle and
buy it, it may be noted that the Port
Gamble mill has spruce log that
scales 12,64O feet.
AS for the shingles this state pro-
duces, they are famous all over the
country. There are 2O3 single mills
in the state, representing an invest
ment of about $1O,OO0,O0O and having
the capacity to supply 16,25O,OOO
shingles daily if the market required
it. Ballard alone is able to contribute
1,7SO,O00 shingles daily from her nine
mills.
Our millmen continue to win new
markets and successfully compete
with eastern shingles in their own
territories, because of the superiority
of our cedar. With the renewal OF
business activity throughout the coun-
try the demand will increase and bet
ter prices can probably be maintained.
Altogether the lumber and shingle in
dustry is bound to grow and it would
be hard thing to estimate the in
crease that year of nominal condi-
tons would bring about.-Trade Reg

The Papal Delegate.

One of the most important articles
in the September North American is
Bishop Spalding's able defense of the
Roman Catholic church in the United
States against the A. P. A. crusade.
Perhaps the most interesting part OF
it is the candid admission that it was
not good policy for the pope to send a
papal envoy here and establish a per-
manent papal delegation at the seat
of our national government. This he
says from whatever point it be con-
sidered "is an affair of grave motion"
That it is and has been a source of
strength to the Apaists, he says,
"there can be no doubt" The Ameri-
can bishops whenever consulted strong
ly opposed the founding of such an
institution here, and the archbishops,
when the question was put to them,
at their meeting in New York in the
fall of 1892, declared their unanimous
opinion that it would be unwise.
Anti-Catholic prejudice in this coun-
try is largely anti-papal prejudice, and
the establishment of papal delega-
ton has no doubt influenced it. No
one, not even the Catholics, want an
American pope. AS Bishop Spalding
admits there is no place for any more
than authority "in things spiritual
for any church in this country. 1t is
only in things spiritual, he says, that
Catholics owe obedience to the pope
and the authority of the delegate is
merely ecclesiastical. Yet those Cath
olics "whose knowledge OF the country
was most accurate and intimate be-
lieved that the establishment of a
papal delegate here would be bad
policy" and events have proved that
their judgment was right.-Tacoma
Ledger.

Peculiar to Itself.

Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to
itself, in strictly medicinal sense, in
three important particulars, viz
first, in the combination of remedial
agents used; second, in the proper
ton in which they are mixed; third,
in the process by which the active
curative properties of the preparation
are secured. These three important
points make Hoods Sarsaparilla pecu-
liar in its medicinal merit, as it ac-
complishes cures hitherto unknown.
But it is not what we say but what
Hoods Sarsaparilla does, that tells
the story. What Hoods Sarsaparilla
has done for others is reason for conf
dence that it is the medicine for
you.

Maine and Vermont Break Records.

Maine and Vermont held their cleo
tions Monday and everything went re.
publican by the largest majority ever
known. Gov. Cleave's plurality in
in 1892, was 1851, this year, over
$1,000. In 1856 Hannibal Hamlin
had 25,OOO; Samual Corey in 1866
had $1,000 and General Chamberlain
had the same majority in the election
following.
In Vermont the majority given the
republican ticket was about $1,000
Their vote being 1876 against 33,462
in 1892. The democratic vote is H..
371 against 1884, two years ago
showing republican gains 9,274 and
democratic loss of nearly 5000 votes.

The delegates to assemble In

THE delegates to assemble in the
Republican County Convention to-
morrow are charged with an impor-
tant duty. Many independent voters
much more than usually the case
stand waiting to see the results. Thew
are hoping for new deal in local poli-
tics, change in local officers and a
clean and honest ticket. Ii the dele
gates, as true men, build as best thew
know how, they will secure the support
of the larger number of people. Thew
must proceed with care and make NO
mistake. Fore warned, it is easier to
avoid mistakes than to ATTEMPT apollo
gy after they are made. Now that
the "ring' has the prospective upper
hand in the Democratic Convention
all hope seems centered in tomorrow's
convention. Let good government he
the aim and the watchword of the
convention.
