The ship John Enox has just taken
on the biggest lumber cargo at Port
Gamble, bound for Port Perie, Austria
liza. 1t carried 2,625, 767 feet of 1um-
Der, said to be the largest cargo ever
shipped on a vessel from any port in
the world. This cargo would use up
all the logs which passed through
Shelton in any one month for the past
tn rec Or four years, so one can lima gine
what an immense amount of lumber
can be slowed away in the no1d of a
big vessel.
Only four saloons have renewed
their licenses in Shelton at this time,
and the Hotel Webb will shortly,
against ten last year. Outside of
Shelton, John O'Hare and James Pat
terson have each renewed their licens-
es at New Kami1che, but the saloons
at Hoodsport, Union City and other
points will be closed for the present.
In Our opinion this is for the best, as
it will leave all surplus cash for more
necessary supplies. Liquor is a luxury
which should be eschewed in dull
times; and few can now afford 1uXu-
rieS.

An Historic Saw.

An interesting relic is being exhibit
ed in the window of Talcott Bros
store. It is and old whip saw and is
probably the first of its kind ever
brought to this country. 1t has not
been used for many years and all pos
sibility of future service was blotted
out by the fire which destroyed An
drew Chambers barn last week. The
Olympian says, it could tell it's own
story it would relate its history in this
way:
"I started for Puget Sound from
Missouri, in 1915 and after passing
through the trials and incidents of an
overland journey covering six months,
reached The Dalles, Oregon, where,
with the assistance of four men, [
sawed lumber enough to construct
boat, 16 by so. On February l, 146,
the boat was loaded with myself among
the passengers, and sailed down the
Columbia river to the Cascades. At
the Cascades, took passage in wagon
around five mile portage.
cit was the first boat sent over the
Cascade Falls, The craft was secured
and proceeded down the Columbia to
the mouth of the Sandy river. From
that point my travels varied, some
times by land and again by water, up
one stream and down another. Finally
in the spring of 1913, reached Puget
Sound, after a tedious Journey behind
an OK team In the three years of my
travels, my masters always found me
of service and during the past Al years
I have rested undisturbed and I'M
thought Of in my masters Toulouse,
on Chambers prairie. On April 26, of
the present year, the flames destroyed
my home, and I was ruined and de-
faced, almost beyond recognition"

SLAVES OF THE COOK.
New York Society People Unable to Dine
at Home on Sundays.

New York Society People Unable to Dine
at Home on Sundays.
Cooks have their rights as well as
other people. and that is the one reason
why the restaurants of New York are
crowded every Sunday night by people
who have numerous servants, including
capable cools, 1t was q custom for
many years, nobody knows exactly
why, says the New York Sun, to eat a
heavy dinner in the middle OF the day
on Sunday During the prevalence Of
this custom the cooks made it d point
to take Sunday night Off, and that
point has now become prcrogative.
Men who due six days in the week at
seven are invariably overloaded and
uncomfortable when they dine in the
middle Of the day on Sunday. The
effort to have Sunday night dinner at
seven clock has resulted III fiat and
lndubitable failure wherever attempted
by householders. and so the knot has
been cut by allowing the cook to have
her regular Sunday night off, while
the master of the house and his wife
go to Il restaurant and the children
scrrry about for themseles. If a
stranger in New YORK is anxious to see
the heavy weight financial, CONNER
cial, legal and other professional men of
New York city at dinner with their
wives be should visit Delmonico's. the
Brunswick. the Savoy, Waldorf or New
Netherlands hotel any Sunday night
at about seven o'clock. 1t is q curious
phase of New York life Famous men
OF every conceivable walk Of life dine
out at these places. The general public
is familiar with their faces, but not
with those of their wives. There is
often very strong contrast, as, for
instance. u small, famous lawyer and
his ponderous, dominecring wife. who
tips the beam at two hundred and fifty
pounds and DULLES the waiter.
famous statesman, whose wife is
palpabiy jealous at his slightest
glance at his neighbors; an eminent
judge of sixty and his fiirtatious wife
of twenty. and SO on unfortunately.
