The Claim JumDer Loses.

The contest Of Harvey Gray against c..
a. Pratsch for the prior right to file on
the northwest quarter of section 2G,
township p, range 8, was decided last
week in favor Of Pratsch. The decision
recites that from the testimony Pratsch
had paid Gray 5000 for locating him and
his son Charles on the west half of the
section, in June, 1889, and that since then
he had maintained his residence az far as
his health would permit. The register
and receiver also considered the character
OF the witnesses and their manner of tes-
tiiying. The witnesses OF Pratsch ap-
peared to be honest and dsinterested.
Little weight was given to Gray's witness,
Hiram Hulet, as he appeared both inter.
cstcd and prejudiced. His witness Wilson
also appeared interested. Gray's cabin
was also shown to be on an adjoining
quarter, although he supposed that it was
on the one in question. The register and
receiver further state that the fact of
Pratsch paying the locating fee was evil
dence of good faith, and that from the
evidence produced he was clearly entitled
to the prior right over any subsequent
attempt at settlement by others.
This contest has been watched with
considerable interest by the settlers, as it
was considered test case, and they feel
considerably relieved thereby. This de.
clsion will have quoting effect upon all
prospective claim jumpers, and the set
tiers, who arc really entitled to filings,
will get them.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.
The English Drummer Compared With His
Fellow. Salesman In America.

The commercial traveller in England
is little different from his American
brother, pursuing the Same line OF pol
icy i'll ''getting there so far as securing
trade is concerned. His invariable rule,
however, is that his first price given to
q local merchant is his last and only
one There is no going i'll the morning
with an offer and then i'll the afternoon
with an extra inducement to make the
trade. This being the invariable rule, 1T
saves much labor and apprehension in
the mind of the buyer that he has not
done SO well as he could have done with
more diplomacy.
Everything is done for the comfort of
the traveller, and at tho hotels special
apartment called the commercial room
is set apart for his exclusive use. In this
room smoking is prohibited until 8 p.
H., q place being devoted to that pur-
pose ut other times. The traveller takes
his meals in the commercial room, tho
dinner being set affair in which all
travellers in the house generally partlcl-
pate. The Oldest man is at the head Of
Ju0 tdbDlC slIltl 10 tAC plCoAuSAtt
while at the foot is the youngest man,
and he is termed vice president. Selec-
lions Of food are often made by vote,
and two or three will club together for
special dishes or wines. the president
generally putting the question.
A dinner costs in this way from so to
rs cents and other meals in proportion,
very good food and service being had
throughout Great Britain and Ireland
at these prices. At these dinners and in
the general conversation no introduction
of one to the other, if strangers, is
necessary, and all join in the general
conversation and story telling, a trait
common to the whole brotherhood Of
commercial travellers, DO they found in
London, New York or Kamchatka. -

The HERALD has all along contended
that the calling OF a convention this year
to formulate plan for next year, was not
the proper thing to do. Those high in
authority are OF the same opinion. 4
cabinet officer said the other day:
Sufficient to the year is the issue
thereof. This is not the year OF writing a
presidential platform. This is an off year,
when state issues in states where there
are elections to be held should be strictly
attended to. Meanwhile, the last Demo-
cratic national platform is good and bind
ing if there is a consuming passion to dip
into national matters out OF season, re-
affirm that We are not undertaking to
say what the party should not do year
hence. We have no castiron rule to lay
down for situation which no man today
can safely forecast
1t must be weak cause indeed that
cannot bide the proper time to assert
itself

Tho Growth of Electric Railroads.

"The growth of the use of electricity
as q motive power is remarkable, said
E. L. Carson, an electrician of Boston.
1.-Two years ago there were only 161
electric railways in the United States,
while now there arc over 500 Six years
ago an electric car with two motors cost
81, 500, while the bids for the last con-
tract knew to be given ran from $640
to 81, 500, and the former was the price
at which it was given, the manufactur-
ers being reliable men. 1t seems singular
that with such constantly increasing
demand there should be such competi-
ton as to run prices down to one seventh
Of what was paid six years ago, but such
is the case, and before it stops there
will be very few lines of street railroad
in tho country not run by electricity. -

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Rain Mars its Pleasures, But a Fair
Crowd Nevertheless.

Rain interferred with the celebration
today Had it not been for that large
crowd would have been here, as the train
and boats were loaded last evening. The
work OF the committees had been well
done, and the program was carried out rs
arranged, except that the speaking was
had in the opera house and the ball game
played after all OF the other sports
Special mention should be made of the
music by the Aberdeen cornet band.
At the opera house n. W Bush pre-
sided, and made few remarks before in
Producing the orator of the day, Mr.. S.
f. Coons. This was the first appearance
of Mr.. Coons before an Aberdeen audi
ence, but his reputation as an orator had
preceded him and he was accorded a
generous welcome. He took for a subject
America" and spoke earnestly of its
greatness, its laws, its morals, and the
dangers which menaced it He laid par
ticular stress upon the necessity for incul-
eating patriotism and love for the flag
in the hearts OF the children Disrespect
for law was another element of danger,
and he might have added disrespect for
those in authority What is needed, he
said, is not more law, but that the people
shall respect and obey the law. The
dangers from indiscrimlnate immigration
were touched upon, and the speaker en-
phatically declared that any man who
was not willing to absolutely forswear
allegiance to any prince, potentate or
power whatsoever was not worthy OF
American citizenship, and further that
all desiring this citizenship should thor
oughly understand its purport before
having it conferred upon them.
The games were enjoyed by quite a
large number, and considerable sport was
had at the expense of the contestants
The following are the prize-winners
In the Hose contest the Pioneers won
the town lot. Time from start to throw.

The ball game was a one-sdedd affair
the Tacomas evidently having sent dowr
their scrub team, thinking anything
could do up n "saw-dust" nine. Maurice
Trask umpired the game, rendering fail
decisions but generously giving the ben
eft of the doubt to the "kids." The
following is the

condemned to hard labor in prison for

boy, is said to he the youngest person
ever imprisoned for such "crime."

United Statos Land Commissioner SUIT
ton, at Montesano, has been busy this
week taking final proofs OF 2l-9 settlers.
Representative Gerry entered protest
against the allowance OF DR.. Kinnson's
claim to the northeast quarter OF section
26, and offered proof to show that it was
more valuable for tim Der than agriculture.
The witnesses for Gerry are Hiram Hulet
and J. A. Gray, who were witnesses
against Pratsch, and Charles Hulet and
Frank Ashley. They failed to establish
their claims, and the decision in the
Pratsch case will doubtless be repeated
in this.
