DEAR UNION SIGNAL:-My heart
aches even yet at the remembrance
of scene witnessed several weeks ago.
As the train pulled into Fort Dodge,
Ia, / noticed that very large crowd
was gathered uyon the depot platform
The expectant looks upon the faces
revealed the fact that something un-
usual was going to happen. Soon
number OF closed carriages drove up.
Out of one of them stepped the keep
ers and two chained prisoners. Out
of another carriage stepped six ladies.
The interest of the crowd was all CEN
tered in on one of the prisoners. He
was Fort Dodge boy, just barely out
OF his teens. Three years ago he COM
menced to tamper with strong drink
and it soon became his master. As
usual with drinking men, he also be-
came the victim of many other bad
habits Drink and gamnilnS proved
his ruin. Under the influence of
liquor. he killed a companion. He
was tried, found guilty, and sentenced
to pcnitentiary for life. The six ladies
mentioned were his mother and FIVE
sisters. As he was put on beard Il e
train they caught him in their arm
ard kissed him, their awful heart
broken shrieks of, "Oh, Jack. Jack
oh, God. Jacki jack" bringing tears
to the eyes of the hardest-hsarted d
hearers. Pray tel me, who is most to
blame for the crimes

In selecting fruits or vegetables ior
the seasons planting, do not go too
much into novelties. All our cata-
logues have now too many yarietiesln
them. Seedmen and dealers In plants
would do we'll TO hold convention
and cut down the lists. The same
thing often appears under half a doz-
en- names. One of these should DC
adopted and the others dropped, as
they are worse than useless. When
variety has proven unsatisfactory,
that should also be dropped, and the
people no longer misled into buying
and planting it. 1t is not SO much
the first loss of money in buying the
worthless thing, as it is the consequent
loss of time and labor. Ii tning

aitions of soil and climate, but not

There is great chance for reform u

SHELTON MASON COUNTY, WASHINGTON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 5
Nicaragua Canal ga Co."

Now that the Senate by vote of 81
t. Il, has passed the bill providing fo,
the issue of 100000, 600 of bonds for
the construction of the Nicaragna
Canal, $40, ,OO0, 600 guaranteed by th.-
government, there is little doubt about
the lower house concurring. Our new
Senator John L. Wilson, proposes to
hold his seat in the house, in order to
aid by his voice and vote the passage
OF the bill in that branch. The JOUR-
NAL republishes diagrams of the pro-
posed canal, and its position regard
ing the Worlds commerce.
The bill directs the issue of $7O,OOO,-
OoO of Nicaragua canal bonds. Each
OF these is to bear the following guar
antee: "The United States of Ameri-
ca guarantees to the lawful holder of
this bond the payment by the Mariti-
ME Canal Company of Nicaragua of
the principal of said bonds and the
interest ACQUIRING thereon as it accurs."
Additional $50, 900 of bonds is to be
issued without the United Safes guar
antee. The total 800, 100000 thus
issued is to be used in constructing the
interoceanic canal. The secretary of
the treasury is to have general super
vision of the project. A board of
| fifteen directors is to have immediate
charge of the work. OF this board
the president is to designate ten MEM
bers, no more than two from any one
state. The United States is to receive
$40, 900, 900 of canal company stock
in return for guaranteeing the bonds,
and is to hold a mortgage lien on all
property OF the canal company. Be
sides affording great saving of dis
tance in the shipping of Washington's
products To Europe and the Eastern
coast. the Canal during its construc-
! tion will call for a vast amount of
lumber and other materials from
Puget Sound, and it is expected, will
create large business as soon as the
work begins. An amendment requires
the canal company to purchase its
material and construction machinery
in the United States, Nicaragua or
Costa Rico. If this Congress fails to
to help the country out by financial
legislation, it will, at least, have the
canal bill to its credit, which will
prove great benefit to the Pacific
Coast.

Americans are accounted a fairly
sober people in the hurry burly of ma
tions, but the figures of the internal
revenue commissioner for the last
year are enough to make temperance
crank stagger without drop of whis-
key or beer, says the Atlanta Consti-
tuition.
We distilled last year S7,346,9 ,9S4
millien gallons of liquor not including
l 1,430, ,353 gallons of liquor of brandy.
Expert bartenders estimate 63 drinks
to the gallon. Therefore there were
1904 ,063 ,S92 drinks produced in this
country.
And yet there are plenty of Ma
son chaps who assert they do not get
their share.

THE lower house of the Missouri
Legislature has passed a bill to prohibit
Sunday ball and football games

question asked by Representative
Swanson, of Virginia, as to whether
the abolition of the fee system had
not been recommended-"I do not
know. and am not willing to take
the gentleman's word for'it as long as
his election to this House depends
upon the moonshine vote"
Secretary Carlisle is directly respon-
sible for the action of the House in
putting two financial bills as riders on
the Sundry Civil appropriation bill,
but he went to the Capitol and per-
sonally appealed to democrats not to
vote against them. One of the amend
ments gives Mr. Carlisle discretion as
to the dissemination of notes issued
in place Of those redeemed, and the
other makes gold certificates nom
receivable for customs dues after July
/, next, and forbids their use as parl
of the reserve OF national banks. The
Secretary's action will not be LOST
upon the Senate. And le may wish
before the session closes that he moi
taken the initiative in attaching I'm
ancial riders to appropriation bills

Washington Wood for Pianos.

Spruce, pine, chestnut, ash and bass
wood, most carefully seasoned and
dried. enter into the construction of a
piano. besides cherry, walnut, mahog-
any and other woods should be as near
perfect as it is possible to obtain them
the greatest of care being exercised in
their selection as to grain and freedom
from gum or streaks. In the sound
ing board the finest grained spruce is
used, and the keyboard is generally
made from the very best of soft white
pine. For violins, guitars, zithers,
etc., fine grained spruce enters into
the construction of the sounding
board, while the body OF the instru-
ment is generally Of hard, fine-grained
wood.
As a substitute for Eastern spruce
in piano sounding boards, and for that
matter in all sounding boards, fine
grained native spruce growing in the
uplands can be substituted at a less
cost than the spruce of the East. The
back of piano should he made of fir
as strength is required. For the
frame of the keyboard bed fir is also
needed, as strength and solidity are
necessary. The keyboard should be of
cedar, we'll seasoned. to offset injury
from climatic conditions. IN fact.
any portion OF the instrument affected
by the changes of temperature should
be of cedar, and when it is known til at
red cedar is less liable to swell Or shrink
than any other wood a good sale can
be worked up. So it is for either
boards, cedar having none Of the de-
fects of redwood For the body of
violins, zithers and guitars Alaska ce-
dar stands pre-eminent, having close
fine grain and being susceptible Of a
high polish. The wood is not bad,
either for other musical instruments.
Finally, all these native woods ought
to meet with large sale in the East,
if for no other reason than that they
are very much cheaper than the woods
now used.-Puget Sound Lumberman.
