The Washington Southern Case.

| AS intimated heretofore the mem
bers of this Company on resuminp
control of the railroad, intended ia
contest several actions of Col. Sheafe
| the late receiver, and the objections
are now on hearing in Seattle, pend
ing a final settlement with the re-
ceiver. The latter's salary oflS4O0 per
month and the attorneys fees of $1,000,
| are the main items in objection.
Thursday s Telegraph says:
Some of the officials and stock
holders of the road are not, it is said,
satisfied with Receiver c. M. Sheafe's
final report, which was filed week
ago, and it is understood that in the
superior court today an answer to it
will pc filed. Just what the exact con-
tents of the answer are, could not be
ascertained last night, but it is stated
that good many of Receiver Sheafe's
statements concerning the Washing
ton Southern will be challenged. The
receiver in his report said that while
he had charge of the road he received
S41 951.71 from the following sources:
Earnings of the road, $40, 59S, 90; bank
loan to pay interest, back taxes, ETC..
S14, 7O6.55; sale of logging cars, $780,;
other sources, rents, sales, etc, $780,
II. Exceptions will be taken to some
of these figures and an objection will
be made to the receivers expense ac-
count, which amounted to So, oo7. 81.
divided mp by Mr.. Sheafe as follows:
Operating road, ST., 484.56; insurance,
1888; taxes due January 1, 1893, S42S2. :
%; interest on N. P. contracts, So431.-
%; labor, $685.. 70.
There will also be serious obiec-
ton entered against the court grant
ing the compensation asked for.
Receiver Sheafe has requested Judge
Langley to allow him $500 a month
for his 10 months of service. The
gentlemen who will make affidavit to
the answer say the amount is entirely
too high. 1t is claimed that there
were several months during Colonel
Sheafe's receivership that he did not
have to leave the city, and had to
write but two or three letters a week.
Attorney H. B. S1auson's claim for
legal services to the receiver S2684. 10,
will be contested. 1t is said that if
Judge Langley decides the case in
Receiver Sheafe's favor the case will
be carried TO the hipher courts

A boatman lone, fore neighboring beach.

Inc seas are high; the scene is wild;

Within the fiercest gale that blows,
upon the strongest waves that rise
Abldes the same protecting cere

As nightfall settles on the sea,
AND gathers round the lonely door
| Where lately sorrows power has been,
| To visit in afflicti0n sore.

And by the hearth-fire's cheerful glow.

Scarce out OF reach about me wheels.

Nor fear of harm or danger feels.

As camel. crossing descent sands

May Nature teach US not in vain,
But guide us brighter scenes to find.
A wavelesS sea, clOudless sky

A land where joy eternal reigns,
And sorrow ne'er disturbS the breast,
Are pictured by summer day;
Are symbolled by blissful hour;
Suggested by one thought sublime,
Or by the rainbow tintei flower.
May Natures pages, spread in view,
May holy thoughts that in US rise.
With heavenly guards that round US wait.
Secure our pathway to the skies.

KAMILcHIE SIFTINGS, Jan. 8.
A number of new houses are going
up this winter, but, sorry to say, by
bachelors mostly. Not good for the
schools or much of anything.
Kamilche has been strictly in it,
spite of hard times, as to dances. one
every Saturday and others between
whites. The New Years Masquerade
was great success, but two OF our
young men engaged IN little scrap.
A bachelors dinner was given at
J. B. Forbes home on New Years
day, and the guests report splendid
time. Some of them do not like to be
called bachelors.
Mrs. ]. X. Everett expects to leave
Kamilchie this week for her farm
near Olympia, having sold her store
to Joe Kullrich, who will continue the
business. e.
