Great Ferris Wheel.

Undoubtedly the most novel and the
greatest single attraction at our COM
ing county Fair is the big Ferris wheel /;
which has been designed, constructed
and erected entirely by local genius
and enterprise. A. IT. Wilcox design
ed the wheel and superintendent all the
wood work, while E. C. Walling had
charge of the iron and steel work.
AS it stands, it is sixty five feet from
the ground, has twelve carriages, with
a carrying capacity of six persons each,
and will be brilliantly illuminated at
night by a myriad of electric lights,
which revolve with the wheel. The
carriages are painted different colors
and present an attractive appearance.
The wheel is turned by electricity, and
one revolution minute can be made.
Two or three cars will be loaded at a
time. The cost of the construction is
$4,000, and the wheel can be taken
down in a day and half and put up
in a very short time.
The proprietors deserve great credit
for their enterprise, and should receive
the loyal support of all our citizens for
giving New Whatcom the distinction
of having the largest Ferris wheel ever
operated on the Pacific coast north of
San Francisco.
The wheel is located in a slightly
position, at the top of Holly street
overlooking the northern part of the
city, the bay and surrounding country.
The electric lights are placed on the
outside of the cars, SO that when thew
are lighted the occupants of the cars
cannot be observed from the outside.
The first marriage ceremony will
take place on the wheel at O'Clock on
the evening of the Oath, and the second
one at the same hour of the following
evening.

AT twenty, when man is young, he
thinks he knows it all he likes to wag
his active tongue and exercise his gall (;
he struts around in noble rage, the
world is all his own; he laughs to
scorn the world of age and lists to self
alone. He wears window in his eye
to see his whiskers grow; he thinks the
ladies pine and die because they love
him so. At forty as you may suppose,
he's knuckled down to biz; tbs not till

Ah-h!

George Hazard has an idea, says
the Tacoma Union. 1t is the hoary
democrat idea, to combine and down
the opposition" Says George: "There
will be 10000 votes cast in Washing
ton in 1896. The republicans will
cast 10000 and the democrats, hopu-
lists and prohibitionists will combine
and cast $4,000. McGraw will be re-
nomin ated, and he will be defeated by
this combined $4,000 votes. Who will
combine them?" Pausing and tap
ping his Uranium dramatically, "I
will. I'm the man that will do it.
Those $4,000 votes will be combined on
one man for,governor and he will be
elected. Why sir, since 1890 the re-
publican party in this state has cast

Hiram Feiser Still Fighting.

Wednesday there was CONSERVATION
in the land office, and today some of
the United States officials are extreme
ly thankful that they are still on earth,
says the Olympian.
Hiram Feiser called.
This doesn't sound startling to the
uninitiated, but to the land officers it
means much.
Since 1884 Feiser has been contest
ing for claim in Mason county upon
which he settled and made $4,000 worth
of improvements. When he tried to
perfect his title to the land, it was dis
covered that he was on railroad land.
Feiser carried the case through all OF
the steps in this land office and finally
up to the headquarters in Washington
city. Feiser was very earnest IN his
endeavors to gain the land, and walked
to Washington city to press his suit
personally. He lost on every turn,
but in his work in the case he became
monomaniac on the subject, and con-
tinued the fight after the department
at Washington had decided against
him.
On August % he paid the land office
in this city a visit and demanded a
title to the land, receiving no satisfac-
ton, he said: "Well, I will 60 home
now, but in three weeks return. If
am not given the land I may as we'll
die then as any time"
Promptly on time he stepped into
the Office, and if leper had made his
appearance the scattering of officers
and clerks could not have been more
complete. Receiver Hawkins ran to
the sheriff's Office and Deputy Sheriff
1T. Mills hurried across the street
loaded for bear. Entering the office
he found Feiser and Register Murphy
grasping hands across the counter.
each watching the other carefully ant
discussing the formers hobby.
There were no guns brought into
play, and finally Feiser left the office
In the hall he encountered George G
Mills, the ex-register of the land Office
and pinned him to the wall for an in
terview.
To George he stated that this was NJ
longer government for the people
but was government for the Northern
Pacific railroad. II am not goins
to kill anyone" he said, nor will
commit suicide. I am now going
home, and when arrive there | will
fling new flag to the breeze. 1t viii

there will be no stars, but instead, twl

and child, slain by the government
At the head of these collins will be
man and six children in the act o
weeping. That will represent mysel
and the remainder of my family
George told him he guessed he hat

being one OF thu most brutal nations IN
that respect, II has become fairy civilized
American captains ara not. as Z body.
50 brutal as the old shippers 81 the Brit
ish lnercantils service; but the inade-
alacy Of the laws has resulted n enabling
those guilty OF very hsin0us o1enses
against humanity 20 escape punishment
The appeal TOW made 20 the public IS
very temporarily couched. II IS conceded
that discipline is necessary on shipoosrd,
and that ths master must be vested with
all necessary authority TO conserve order
and command obedience. Nevertheless i
is ciaimed the Law should hold the captain
60 a strict accountability for his exercise
% that authority.
The only defense. as the pamphlet says.
Is the iaziness and incapacity Of crews
The reply 10 very properly made that there
is no excuse for incornpetency. Times
have changed since it was necessary for
all seanen 20 serve a certain term in sub
ordinate positions. and the once-prized
nautical degree OF "A b" has passed
into disuse. The occupation Of sailor
calls for very special qualifications He
should he strong, athletic, daring and
n.rnbIe While at sea, at least, he should
be temperate I'm his habits and amenable
70 discipline on the other hand. he should
be well nourished. fairly treated and en-
couraged to stand by his officers. for the
lives Of all on board and the commercial
interests OF the ship often depend upon
the ready obedience and loyalty OF the
crew.
IL would seem as though the captain,
officers and crew, isolated from the rest
OF the world. liable to terrible dangers.
and dependent entirely upon each other
for pleasant relations, good management
OF the vessel in times OF danger. and for
consideration and mutual support in the
event OF shipwreck-that all this would
serve 10 promote good fellowship and de-
cent treatment.
How far from the truth this too often
Is, the Red Record shows. IL enumerates
the many instances Of harsh treatment
which reach the newspapers In court pro-
ceedings. but il is notorious that men
often jump overheard in dee GRAFTON, and
there are many instances OF brutal as
sault which leak out, but as to which no
judicial action is sought
Flogging has been abolished, but the
CA % -nlne-tails has been succeeded by
no less cruel methods OF punishment, and
further action on the part Of congress is
greatly needed.

The New Bu leigh

YAKIMA Herald.
For the past few years the people OF this
state have known Andrew 4. Burieigh, of
Seattle, as bright man, good lawyer and
very capable in conventions as politician.
We had never up TO a few weeks ago
thought OF him as a railroad man All the
same, however. and for most of the time,
he has been attending to' railroad business
as an attorney. and in that capacity, as IN
every other, he has staken the lead easily,
and in way TO give the fact ready recog-
milton. To any one who now gives the
matter little careful attention it must
be plain that new opportunity has come
TO him, and that he VIII doubtless forge
to the front as a railroad man All VINO
have watched his career, whether in
spirit OF friendship or enmity, are bouni
TO recognize this fact 1t is seldom to be
found that the man and the opportunity
come together so pat as in this instance.
President Cakes, who is easily in the
front rank of railroad men today, came
in by way of rsceivership some twenty
five or thirty years ago, and now Burleigh
takes the head OF the Northern Pacific at
a time when it is slipping away from all
its old hamper,ng conditions and is ripe
for reorganization as a splendid properly
on a purely railroad basis. While railroads
have in the aggregate been losing mill
Hons during the past year, the Northern
Pacific shows millions OF gain from jan
udry / up 10 the present time. MS Is EVIL
dence that the road is a good and gain
ing property. as well as evidence that the
best thing that could happen 10 II was purl-
fication by receivership through the courts.
The first receivers, against whom
perhaps there is nothing TO be said, were
too closely connected with the old order
OF things to insure the necessary conf
dence in working toward a reorganization.
Burleigh steps in at the nick Of time with
everything at hand favorable for success,
and with the brain to work il out; and
the chances are that, whether reorganiZa-
ton shall come sooner or later, Bur.eigh
will retain the headsh1p which he is now
earning as receiver.
We are led to this little discussion OF
Burleigh and his abilities in order 10 add
a hopeful remark that IL is a pretty good
thing for the state Of Washington to have
the anagement shifted 10 this end of
the road. 1t means much more for the
coming year and its hoped-for revival OF
business than any one has yet remarked;
but perhaps in the rush OF events this
favorable circumstance has been over
looked. II is worth thinking about, all
the same, and We venture the prediction
that for the next ten or twenty years the
railroad world viii have many occasions
TO note that a new leader has come to the
front 1t viii be his mission to bring the
road from the condition OF a line which
has been one whereon to string collateral
speculatlons. 70 a splendid property as a
carrying agent-a railroad pure and sim
pie stripped Of those feathers which have
made il unpopular from one end to the
other.

Forty-five Years of Service.
Portland Oregonian, Dec.


This day forty-tive years ago the first
number of the Oregonian appeared. Who
could have imagined. upon seeing the lit
tie slx-column folio weekly paper, in long
primer type, with bits of news" from
three to six months old, the newspaper Of
today! This one feature OF the marvellous
change of forty-fve years typities all the
rest. The work OF the Oregonian during
these forty-flve years is the record of an
amazing history No imagination could
have paralleled the realities to which ii
has borne witness. Great things VIII be
done hereafter. but no wonders of the flu
ture viii equal those Of the progress of
this country from nothing to present con-
ditons. After all, there is a satisfaction
In seeing and helping the beginnings of a
state. II was better to be the first to see
the sources of the Nile than to be lost
in the crowds on the banks or its lower
course. who were contemplating the de-
parted glories Of 5000 years.
