seriously sick But 1t was like Jim
to die suddenly, for 1t was a fashion
Of his never to give any one any trou-
BILE; not that there were many who
would have greatly put themselves out
for him. The sermon was long and
tiresome one, made up of commonplace
remarks and exasperating platitudes,
that had but little bearing upon the
case in hand. There was weary hour
Of drilling and wandering in-of FUN
bling about in an almless, objectless
way that was calculated to do harm to
the cause Of the Christian religion.
Generalities, however glittering, would
not fit this occasion and there was no
need OF them, as the preacher had
known Jim for many years, and might
nave mentioned his quiet, noble, self
sacrificing life; his years Of perpetual
and accomplishing self-denial and liv-
Ing for others. He did not allude to
his cheerful, sweet life which 1t seems
to me that a minister at least ought to
have understood and appreciated. The
only comfortable and comforting thing
there was about the discourse was that
Jim was probably happily unconscious
Of the performance.
The choir sang in an empty, soulless
way, some sweet old hymns that even
negligence and carelessness could not
deprive Of all their beauty and comli-
ness, the eyes Of the singers wandering
furtively down to their "black Jack"
stuck on the back Of their chairs. Oh,

Whence Came They.

Tortoise shell cats are said to have
come originally from the Danish is
land Langelan, which is also the homo
of the finest dogs, called Great Danes.
The famous dogs, as in the case OF
horses, display great fondness for
tortoise.shells, with whom they form
inseparable companionships.

The subsequent cultivation of good
garden crop is not more expensive
than of a poor one, but the good one
can only be had by the most thorough
and painstaking initial work. The
cost of cultivation is not out of pro-
portion to the crop obtained, unless by
intense cultivation the crop is doubled.

NOT MUCH PROGRESS.


Committees Press Work Forward-A For
eigner Sets Good Example
The faithful committees yesterday
pressed the subsidy matters and worked
hard with the different backward ones,
and while no direct results were obtained
and little further progress was made,
yet it was evident that those who have
been opposed to donating have been con-
vlnced that their deeds are required be-
fore construction can commence, and IL
is believed that they viii no longer keep
back the work that will put the entire
community on a basis of prosperity.
A well known .rancher of foreign birth
yesterday came in from up the river and
freely turned in his deed for right of
way It would seem that when a COM
paraive stranger and foreigner can see
the business proposition IN the railroad
project, and take advantage of it, that
it is about time for native born citizens
to come to the front and no longer
bar the progress of the only enterprise
and business move that will save many
from ruin. The reasons are SO ample,
and the necessity so great, for railroad
connection to be made with the rest of
and entirely disDnterested man the pres
ent delay and hesitation looks to be lit
tie less than downright folly and suicide.
When 1T is known that much of the
property in the city and county is heavily
mortgaged; that many taxes are unpaid
and absolute ruin is staring not a few IN
the face, one would naturally reason that
all would jump at the chance to give
away half Of it If by so doing the other
half could be cleared OF incumbrance and
trebled in value. This is just what can
and VIII be done by the building of a
railroad, to say nothing of the tnnumera-
bic enterprises that will spring up IN
its wake. the increase in population and
the furnishing of work and good wages
to all.

NORTH HEAD LIGHT HOUSE.
Bidders for Road Between the Head and
Candy Disgruntled.

Complaint IS made by one of the larg-
est contracting firms that they no not feel
that they were quite fairly treated In the
matter of bids for the construction OF the
road from Fort Vanby to the new light
house site at North Head.
1t is stated that bids were called Tor,
on specifications furnished, for road
between the two places, which are about
two miles apart. No further details or
particulars were given and the Inference
was that construction was to commence
at once. as 1t was we'll known that the
light house was constructed under an
appropriation some two years ago.
The light house has been completed
and the $32, 900 lantern is now at Canby
1t will be impossible to equip and use
the light house, which is badly needed by
navigasors, until proper road can be
built over which to transport the deh-
cate machinery to the light house.
Among the fifteen bidders there was
hardly a difference OF $500 when the bids
were turned in. The estimated cost was
in the neighborhood of $4,000. After the
opening of the bids the contractors were
informed that only $1,000 remained of the
rresent appropriation with which to do
the work, and that any one could have
the Job at about that figure, or another
appropriation would have to be made
None Of the bidders would accept the
work at such figures, of course, and say
that they feel somewhat indignant OF be-
ing compelled to spend from $50 to $50
each in going over the ground and max
ing estimates and then be given the
above ultimatum. II the facts had been
known no one would have even made an
estimate on the work. There seems to
have been some misunderstanding or in
advertance somewhere.
