Wen Do Our Part.

Mr.. EplToR:- Your editorial in last
weeks HERALD on taxation was first
rate and true every word. ! am glad
to know you are not afraid 70 speak
out on that subject or amy other. II
is shame that the farming interest
in Vermont cannot take care of itseli
in this matter, but If the farmers
cannot or will not they ought 70 nave
assistance from Others. hope YOU
will keep hammering away in the
same line until a reform is demanded
so loudly that the next Legislature
cannot fail to hear it and act accord
ingly Hardlya farm in Randolph
will sell for its appraised value, and q
majority of those this side Of the bin
will not bring three-fourtls Of Their
listed value. And vet IN many IN
stances they are douay taxed. II the
state papers would air such questions
more thoroughly instead Of speculat-
inc on the governor question year
OF two in advance, it would be M
improvement.
Yours truly,

The Rutland Heyoid, again taking
up the subject Of trusts in answer to
our last article, thinks that if our def
milton of trusts and monopolies is ac-
cepted and it seems inclined 70 ac-

kind in existence and little fear need
be had of them. We have not held
that trusts are numerous, nor 40 we

conditions are necessary to form them

The Liberals are again out oil the
saddle in Great Britain. Premier
Rosebery rendered the resignation 81
his cabinet last week and advised the
queen to form one from the Conserya-
tiyes. This was done, Lord Ran
dohph Churchill being called as the
premier, The causes which have
brought about the Liberal downfall
are not clear to outsiders. The Lib
erals had good working majority IN
the House OF Commons three years
ago, but even before Gladstone's res
ignation their policy gave dissatisfac-
ton to many Of their natural follow
ers and led to an increase in the un-
ion membership, which party repre-
scnis a position neither Liberal nor
Conservative. Measures then came
up which united the Conservatives
and Unionists against the "goveln-
ment, as the party in power is term
ed. Precedent requires that when the
Commons refuse measure proposed
by the government the ministry must
resign and an appeal be made to the
people This is the case at present,
In the coming elections the Liberals
have little hope of winning, but the
Conservatives may not secure enough
seats to give clear majority over all
other parties Englishmen are divid-
inc their attention between cricket,

Russia has guaranteed the payment
OF the ss0,O00,OOO loan which Paris
bankers have lately made to China,
which is to be part Of the war in

pared to admit that by far the
greater number Of trusts have not per-
ceptibly injured the public, but we
differ with the Herald, holding that
the reason the trusts have not been

THE FIRES NEAR ELMA.
Ranchers Hoping That Rain May Come

Olympia, Aug 1.-THE Associated Press
reporter returned this evening from the
burned district near Summit. west of
here. Much timber has been laid waste.
but unless heavy winds spring up settlers
feel confident the worst is over. In the
logging camps of Mason county men are
still guarding against flying embers,
while others are rebuilding burned-out
camps. The big fire reached to about
twelve miles from here, where The flames
have full play. and is raging all me way
TO Elma over large territory on both
sides of the road. Several ranches are
In danger. and occupants are using every
means for protection from the flames.
In most cases they are fighting fire with
fire. and many of them have buried all
their valuahles, clothing, etc, in order to
save them in case they are obliged to
fee.
Several single mills are in imminent
danger. and the only hope of salvation is
that the wind will not spring up before
rain sets in. Residents of Summit, a
small settlement supported by the shingle
industry. had a most exciting experience.
They say the flames came upon them with
the speed of a race horse. Men were
forced into the mill to escape The fierce
heat. One man trying to save his house
hold effects stayed by the fire until the
others had sought shelter. but finally he
started TO retreat, but fell between the
house and the mill. and several men
rushed out and dragged him inside. Sew
eral houses were burned to the ground

Ollie Torbett and Her company.

The Torhett Concert Company. which
will present rare musical programme at
the Seattle theater Saturday evening,
comes heralded as one Of the most com
plete organizations travelling this season.
Miss Torbett is said TO have perfect COM
mand of the violin and to play with ex-
ceptional skill. Her solos are delight TO
her hearers. and secure for her repeated
encores. The pianist of the company is
Rudolf Won Scarpa, who is a genuine ar
list. said to compare favorably with d. AL
bert. He arrived N this country but a
short time ago from Vienna, and at once
established himself in the good graces of
his auditors by the finished rendition of
his solos. The members OF the Swedish
auartette, from Stockholm, possess voices
full and sonorous. carefully and diligently
trained. and so thoroughly blended that
they nearly attain to perfection. One of
the principal merits OF the quartette is
their extraordinary piano. which is capa-
bic of being drawn out even 10 the softest
dying away of the voices. The effect of an
extra number, n Swedish song. which be-
gins quite pianissimo, rises louder and
louder uD TO fortissimo. and then finishes
in the Same manner as il commenced, IS
described as a genuine masterpiece OF art
and execution.

Mark Twain Tomorrow Evening.

Mark Twain. one OF the worlds greatest
humorists. whose writings are 10 be found
in all lands under the sun, will make bis
first appearance at the Seattle theater to-
morrow evening. II Is nearly ten years
since he appeared before American audi
ences. and the present tour, which is TO
extend around the world, has been sue
cessful from the start. An adnirer says
OF him: His passages provoke the joyous
laughter Of young and old. of learned and
unlearned, and may be read or heard the
hundredth time without losing, but rather
multiplying I'm power. Sentences and
phrases that seem at first only made for
the heartiest laughter. yield. at closer
view. a sanity and wisdom that is good
for the soul. lie is a wonderful story
teller and many will bear testimony that
the very humor which has made him
known around the world Is sometimes
swept along like the debris of a freshet by
the current of his fascinating narrative.
AS a reader and speaker Mr. Clemens is
utterly outside and beyond the reach of
all conventional rule But coming from
his own lips his lines gather and convey
innumerable new and charming signifi-
canoes. Laughter invariably greets his
first period and attends him to the end.
and ceases with a sense in his hearers of
having been captivated by no mere harle-
quinade OF speech or manner. but by a
genuine and heelthful wit. as good TO re-
member as IL was to hear

ACCIDENT VICTIMS GROW WORSE
Ranchers in Lewis County Praying for
Rain -Buryfng Their Property TO
Escape the Flames.

The forest fires, which caused the fatal
accident on the Pen;nsular railway near
Shelton last week, are raging on all sides
OF Shelton. and ii might be said even IN
Shelton. The business men Of the place
feel that their property is in constant
peril, and guard is maintained day and
night. Fortunately Shelton mas an ex-
cellent water supply. and the pressure
from the large tank above the town is so
great as TO force a stream over the top
OF the talIest building.
Further particulars about the disaster
from the burnt trestle, telegrapaic &C
count of which appeared in the Post-ln-
teIligencer last Saturday, were learned
yesterday from A. J. Foreman, who was
himself in Shelton at the time of the ae-

bodies of the dead and in nursing those
who had been burned and scalded.

THE M'NAUGHT CASES,

Seattle August H. 1896
To the Editor: I do not propose at this
time TO say anything in regard TO either
or the suits mentioned in your issue of to-
day. for | do not consider newsuaper a
proper tribunal before which such cases
should be tried. They will receive the at
tenton they merit at the proper time and
place. But do wish to correct a state
ment made in the notice in your paper.
which If not corrected now and at once
may be the source of some embarrass-
ment aud cause some complications to nv
fellow Seattle citizens.
One Mr.. Charles A. Mitchell is repre-
scented as being 'the general manager of
the New York Life Insurance Company
for Oregon and Washington" and il is
further stated that it was upon his re-
commentator" that the loan is question
was made by the company Allow me TO
correct that statement, and inform YOU
and the public that the said Charles A.
Mitchell is not the general manager of the
New York Life Insurance Company for
Washington and Oregon. He is but one
of the numerous soliciting agents of the
company. working on a commission, and
not salaried officer OF the company. and
doubtless he Will be glad to have you
correct the statement
I further wish, in defense of Mr. +. B.
Boarman and myself TO deny that Mr.
Hinckley secured his loan through the
Recommendation OF EIF. CnarleS n. Mitch
ell. Mr.. Mitchell. of course, may be
very influential soliciting agent for the in
surance department OF the New York Life
Insurance Company, but l am pleased TO
be able to state that he had nothing what
ever to do with recommending or securing
the loan in question, though. doubtless
his influence as an ordinary soliciting
agent would be very powerful with the
manager OF the loan department of the
New York Life Insurance Company.
which is an entirely distinct and different
branch from that with which Mr.. Mitchell
is connected.
Finally allow me 10 say that I am I'M
able TO see any other solution OF the
bringing of these suits at this time than
that Mr.. Mitchell, chatting under an ex-
posture which IL became necessary for us
10 make 10 protect our business interests,
has made such representations as TO
cause the bringing Of the suits.
Thanking you for the valuable space
you have allotted me. with your usual
fairness and justice. I am yours very
obediently. j. T. McNATGHT.

west of the city. Heavy fires are burn
ing in that vicinity Last night the west
eTn heavens seemed ablaZe with the glare
from fires about Olympia. but tonight the
smoke is too thick 10 see the fires. South
of the city fires are also burning and
some OF the plank road leading to Fern
hill has been destroyed. II is reported
from Skamokawa, in Wahkiakum county.
that fires have burned through the east
and west valleys there, destroying con-
siderable property belonging to settlers.
During the last week there have been
many fires IN Skagit, Whatcom and ISL
and counties. resulting In the loss OF tim

OF men have been fighting fires there.

this as the timber on the eastern mount

party Of sportsmen that several days ago
came down the Middle fork of the Sao-
oualrnie river In a canoe from Salial prai-
RE to it's junction with the North fork
The result was that the canoe was over
turned. ard for about five minutes there
was the greatest hustling imaginable in
deep and rapid waters. c. K Jenner, Earl
Jerner. Chinese Pilot Garfield and As
ssstant Frank Griffith got into long dug
out canoe at the prairie, about nine miles
above the junction and started down On
several occasions the pilot missed his bear
ings. but through the skill of Earl Jenner
danger was avoided. save that the canoe
would fiji UP with water 10 the discomfort
of its occupants. In spite of all this. the
party had good luck fishing and their
creels were well filed.
Towards evening they put up their tackle
and let the canoe glide down the swift
flowing river. Not many rods above the
camp there is bend In the stream. where
the water runs at the rate of about ten
miles an hour. and is fully twenty feet
deep. IL was supposed to be clear OF OBJ
structions, but there was a log extending
from ciump of brush across the channel
about two inches under water.
IL was Just dark. and as the canoe swung
around the curve with fits party the camp
fires were easily discernable. There was
no crash. IT was simply a sudden stop. a
f1opover. and every one OF the brave fish
erraen were churning water. The dog went
under the log but came UP with a look of
disgust on his face and sailed serenely
along the bosom Of the stream TO the camp
below. With all the grace of Joshua Whit
comb, Mr.. Jenner climbed on top of the
canoe and remarked to his son Earl. who
followed, that il was fine day for bath
ing.
Things went a little rough for the Chi
nese pilot. for he became stuck under the
log ard had hard fight 70 get above wa
ter and TO join his partner. vino had gotten
hold OF the brush pile and was standing on
the underwater obstruction that had
wrecked their hopes Of a trout dinner.
There was something so ludicrous about
the situation that not one Of the wrecked
party called for help. but simply looked at
one another and thought OF the creels
with their precious contents that had gone
10 the bottom. How long they would have
remained there no one can tell had not
Mrs. G. II. Bagley seen them from the
camp and sent out a relief.
