lFOR CAMPERS.-A model camp can
BE made very cheaply as follows: -Four
|posts set six feet high, forming a
square 10 by II feet. Around this is
built an outline framework, with a
ridge-po1e elevated three feet above
the upper level of the posts. The
sides, and roofs are covered with I'M
b1eached muslin sewed together to fit.
This muslin soaked for II hours in a
solution of 10 quarts of water, 10
ounces of lime and four ounces of
alum renders it waterproof, and as
serviceab1e as heavy duck The sides
of the tent house are high enough to
stand upright in, and the wooden
framework furnishes place for nails
to hang clothing upon. Three ounces
of pine tar, two ounces of castor Oil
and one ounce of pennyroya1 oil, SIM
mered together over a fire will make a
preparation which, if applied to the
skin, will keep away mosquitoes and
flies.

The Democratic Convention.
The Democratic County Central
Committee met at the Webb Hotel,
Shelton, on Saturday, August IS, to
fix dates, etc.
1t was resolved to adopt the vote
cast for Franklin D. Arnold as the
basis of representation, and that the
ratio should be one delegate at large
for each precinct, and one delegate for
each 20 votes, and one delegate for a
major fraction of 20 votes cast for
Arnold at the last election. This has
cut down materially She1ton's repre-
sentation, which will have votes in
the next convention.
Kan,ilchie and Union City will have
delegates, and C1oqua1lam, Lille
waup, Dayton, Hoodsport, Satsop,
Skokomish, Dewatto, Allyn and Cliff
ton have 2 delegates each, and Area
dia, Pickering and Hartstein have but
each--33 delegates in all. The pri-
maries were set for o'clock p. m. on
Saturday, September LIST, and the date
of the convention fixed for the 22nd
of September, 1894, at 10 O'Clock.
