A Sailor of a Barkenrine Quarantined
at Port Townsend.
PORT TOWNSEND, Sept. 25.-The bark
entine Retriever, Captain Began, has ar
rived here. twenty-one days from Homo
lulu, having on board what is suspected
by the quarantine officers to be case of
cholera.
Immediately on her arrival in port the
Retriever was boarded by DR.. Simpson,
nited States Quarantine Officer, and DR..
Kuhn, Health Officer of the port. who
found That Andrew Hansen, one of the
seanen, was seriously Ill, from which be
had been suffering since two days out
from Honolulu. The vessel was lmme-
diately placed III quarantine, and, III spite
OF the vigorous protests OF Captain Bo-
gan, was this morning tOWed 10 the quar-
antIne station at Diamond Point by the
tug sea Lion, DR.. Simpson remaining on
board. The sick man was taken TO the
hospital at the station. and the work OF
fumigating and dlsinfecting the vessel
was Immediately begun.
Should the case prove to be cholera, the
prom pit action of DR.. Simpson has pre-
Guided any possibility of spread of the
disease, but Captain Began and several
local physicians contend that were il
really cholera the man could not have
survived or his shipnates escaped con-
taglOn for Sucn length of time.
The Retriever is owned by the Wash
ington Mill Company of Port Hadlock,
and has been in the coasting and Ha-
waiian trade for many years. She was to
have loaded return cargo of lumber at
Hadlock.

Stockings Are Things of the Past.
''Tbe old-time corn-shuclsings and
log-rollngs have played out in the land
of the SOUTH" remarked n Georgia
farmer from Ebert county recently
to an Atlanta Constitution man, the
conversation turning to farm life and its
joys. YES, one rarely ever sees the
genuine old-time Georgia corn
shocking these days. You, see, for
number of years the farmers
of this section of country did not
grow enough corn to have a re-
spectacle corn-shucking, and as for log
rollings, the farmers have not been in
the humor of late years to clear up
much new ground land, and for this
reason there has been no occasion for
much log-rolling."
A listener wanted to know what was
a log-rolling anyhow.
why, have you never heard of the
log-rollings we used to have in this
country?" asked the farmer. Then
you've missed half your life 1t was
the greatest fun the darSies on the
farms had for years and years. The
farmer who had cleared a new ground.
when the trees had all been cut down
and the brush clipped off and burned,
wanted to get all the logs off the field
before he could cultivate it. Therefore
he would give what is called Il log-roll-
ing, to which he would invite all the
darkles and laborerS on the neighboring
farms on some suitable day. There was
no compensation in it, for it was n pic
mic. though you would never think it,
hnT1nSf nf
The darlIics all would come in high
glee, knowing that a great Jug of
whisky would be dished out to them
and that n big dinner would be given
by the landlord who gave the log-roll-
ing. What is meant by rolling logs is
putting Il handstiyi under them. with
darby ut each end of the stick, and
lifting the logs from the ground and
then conveying them to n pile here and
there about The new ground, where
they would be burned later. The fun
came in with the rivalry among the
d0rkics to see who was the champion

great straps of leather that went over

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
ia trump Valley.

The July-August number of the
Orchardist, published mt Chicago,
contains very fair cut or Governor
j. L. Jones Of Nevada, together with Il
biographical sketch of the gentle
man. The periodical is endeavoring
to boom Pahrump Valley, Nye county,
the greater portion Of which has been
purchased by the Calivada Colonial
ton Company of Chicago. The COM
pany has purchased the celebrated
Pahrump ranch, consisting of 10000
acres, and has in addition secured
about $4,000 acres of the adjoining
land, and the purpose of the company
is to COLOMBO the valley.
In response to a letter from M ID.
Hayes, president of the colonization
company, Governor j. f. Jones gave
the following as his opinion of the To-
cality in question:
ain response to your request asking
me to write what know of the Pah-
rump Valley, it's soil climate and pro-
duction. situated in Nye county, Ne
vada, would respectfully state that
personally have never visited said
valley, but [ am personally acquaint-
ed with reliable persons who have re-
sided in Nye county and said valley,
and all speak in the highest terms of
it; that the soil and climate are equal
to any in Lower California, where
land has been sold from $3.50 to $500
per acre and upwards.
"All the products raised in Califor-
MIA can be raised as successfully in
Pahrump Valley---in fact fruits of all
kinds mature earlier than in Califor-
MIA.
Il have had samples of raisins sent
me by Mr.. Harsha White of said val
ley which were pronounced by COM
petent Judges to be equal, if not SUI
perior, to the California raisin. In
fact, all fruit raised in the same lati-
tude in California can be as success
fully raised in Pahrump Valley, and
| pronounce said valley to be admir-
ably situated for colonization pur-
poses, possessing all the requirements
to make it Il grand success.
"FOr Il more extended description
of this valley | have this day mailed
to your address Il copy Of my report
as Surveyor-Gencral for 1887 1883,
and reports of parties embodied in
report of 1SS990. (See appendix.)
Respectfully,
