HOOD CANAL, July "a, 1894.
The Skokoulish bridge is now about
completed and scows. boats, swimming
and the like, for crossing the river
there, are we trust, among the things
of the past. Some years in the future
the children will learn with wonder
from their parents, how wagons used
to be taken across the river in canoes
side by side, and the like, for the first
forty years after the white man came.
but we hope those days will never re-
turn. The builders had their CO ntract
finished last Saturday, but when L. L..
Hunter came to look at it, with a view
of accepting it, he found that little
more work was needed, which has re-
quired two days or so this week.
Wagons are now passing over it. The
bridge seems to be we'll built, and the
builders go away leaving good name
both as gentlemen and mechanics.
Hoods Canal is not noted as farm
ing region, and yet there are not far
from hundred hay makers on the
Skokomish river. and on the Canal,
and within few miles of it, who are
naturally tributary to it, within twenty
miles of Union City who cut from
one ton to near three hundred. These
have all been we'll satisfied with the
weather for the past three weeks.
Some began three or four weeks ago,
either because their hay was early, or
beause they naturally want to GO
ahead, or because of their large crop,
they have to begin little early. The
ajority however began the week
after the Fourth. Some later be-
cause hay was late, or because they
were little slow did not begin until
last week. But the weather has been
favorable so far. None can reasonably
complain. Last Thursday we were
surprised after the evening had prom

d pau VI lIC 1OI CLOOL, DuC we were
alb out'as much surprised to have it clear
up as bright as ever before night, with
no material damage done. We think
that those farmers who complained
about the rain in the spring, are better
satisfied to have had the weather as it
has been, than to have had less rain in
the spring and more during the past
three weeks. Undoubtedly the weather
is in better hands than ours. Most of
our smaller hay makers haye finished
housing their hay. Mr.. Webb, and
Government on the reservation, will
probably be done not far from the
middle of this week.

DentOn'S Homestead.

A hearing in what promises to be an
interesting case was had in the local
land offices yestdeday, in the contest
of Ginrich VS.. Denton, says the O1ym-
plan.
Ten years ago Jeremiah Ginrich en-
tered his homestead at Oyster Bay, but
allowed the life of the entry to expire,
because, as he claimed, he was to poor
to prove up. He tried to prove up in
1891, but he had not taken out his Sec
ond papers, and since then he has not
had enough money.
On June 2, B. T. Denton made a
homestead entry on the land and on
June 10 Ginrich applied to make sec
ond entry on the ground of prior
settlement. Two witnesses testified
for Ginrich and Denton rested on the
testimony submitted. John Rea ap-
peared for Ginrich and George G..
Mills and w. 1. Agnew for Denton.
Every body who had the time to spare
spent it in gathering b1ackberries
which are at their best this week.
Thousands of pounds gathered by the
families already, and thousands of
fruit jars are in Use to hold next Win

of b1ackberries alone, and with rasp.
