Mercbants arc complaining a liltIe

Merchants are complaining little
of dull trade, but the dullness now
only means that the farmers are
busily engaged in planting, and
when they reap, later in the season,
then, too, will the merchants find
their reward. Without good crops
there can be no good times. All
prosperity must come from the pro-
ducers and the wage earners.

have preceded and provoked as much en-
thusiasm along the line. The reserves are
extremely well satisfied with their outing.
Commander Stable is in excellent humor
with his men. In an interview tonight he
said the men went aboard and took charge
of the big warship on Wednesday night
and sailed at noon Thursday. The men
performed every duty of the voyage just as
is required of the regulars. They made a
perfectly successful run and dropped
anchor here at 6 80 last night. The men
behaved well for an initial outing. None
of the men were even seasick.
Lieutenant Turner of company D, Cap
tain Douglass of Company C and Captain
Dennis of Company B all speak in the
same satisfied terms. AS for the men they
are too proud for anything.
"We were set at work cleaning brass,
and kept the ship in trim all the way
down." said one of them tonight. "None
of US were seasick, although the ship rolled
heavily much of the way, especially COM
ing over the bar. This morning we were
put through drill on shipboard."
The Olympia is in charge of detail from
Company D, Lieutenant Turner, to-day
and tonight. Thousands of people visited
her during the day, and the owners of
small boats coined money in carrying
them out. The Dowager Queen and the
maids of honor spent the afternoon on
board.

LUCK OF SPOKANE MEN.
Rich Yields of Gold in Mine Thoughts
to Be VGLueJeSs,

SPOKANE, WASH, June 14.-The War
Eagle Mining Company has declared a.
dividend of $4,000, or 10 cents share.
This mine is situated in the Trail Creek
district, north of Spokane. A year ago ir
was prospect. The promoters had taken
bonds on it and tried in vain to sell the
property for $4,000.
Finally Patsy Clark formed company
of Spokane men, who divided the stock
among themselves at 6 cents a share.
They bonded the mine, did some develop
ment work and opened up bonanza. The
first months ore shipments paid for the
mine and all improvements. The present
dividend is, therefore, clear profit on the
investment. 1t represents three months
limited shipments over an almost impass-
able mountain road.

the United States Circuit Court to-day in
the suit of the Nevada Bank of San Fran

and George W. Hazen, cashier, to recover
$21 900 for alleged false representations
concerning the credit of the Ainslee Lum-
Der Company, which failed for half

few days before the failure. The Portland
National Bank and other banks of this city
were victimized by the Ainslee Lumber
Company to the extent of 100000.
