Mathew Seattle Dead.

Mathew Seattle, the smartest In
dian in this section of the Northwest,
died this week. He was to have
graduated from the Tacoma high
school this season. He was as straight
as an arrow, and had the characteristic
features of the Indian.
After the death of Peter Stanup, IT.,
It was stated that Mathew was to be
the successor of the beloved Peter.
This seems to have somewhat impress
sed him unduely with his Importance,
according to the statements OF some OF
those versed in Indian affairs, and, it
is even said his head was SO swelled
that it came near bursting.

A Weeks Accidents.

| Frank Linton, conductor on the
No. 2 train, got his hand bruised be-
tween two logs at the dumping ground
Monday and is laying off this week.
Chas. Armstrong, brakeman on the
Peninsular Railroad, is short the first
joint of his right thumb. While
making the first coupling on Monday
morning, his hand was caught in the
draw-head, and the thumb crushed.
DR.. Beach was called and Immediately
removed the first joint, Charlie will
be laid up awhile.
Jos. Carstairs brought young man
by the name of Andrew Carlson in
from Ro bt Simpsons camp in the
Satsop Valley, last Friday. Carlson
while using an Ak, nearly severed his
wrist, cutting arteries and bruising
t he bones. He was the smallpox pa
tient at New Kamilche, three years
ago. DR.. Beach says the injury will
effect the free use of his hand.
Hanferd Clark, brakesman on train
No. 2, met with serious accident ON
the dock Thursday morning while un-
loading logs. He was tending tn e
hook of the steam unloader. The
hook broke lose from its hold and flew
and hit him on the head. He was TAX
en- to the Commercial hotel and
physician was called. He was bleed
ing profusely at the mouth and nose,
and was unable to see. 1t is believed
that his injuries are not fatal, and
will rapidly recover from the shock.
Clark is an old hand on a logging
train, is usually careful, and this acct
dent was only one of those that may
happen in spite of exercising the
greatest care. Clark was occupying
the position filled by Frank Linton,
who was laid up by an accident at the
same place Monday.

What is generally known as the
Guisler camp moved away from here
the first of last week to point farther
down down the Canal.
Ed Simpson and W. M. Nance have
built a camp about one and a half
miles up the creek, and commenced
operations, with Munro as managing
partner, who has employed ali the
local men that are capable. Their in
tention is to cut ali they can this sum
mer and run the logs when the creek
rises in the fall; if successful they
will continue and cut all the available
timber. Munro is an enterprising
man and deserves success.

house of H. H. Miller on Wednesday

day of Mrs. B. F. Rines, his mother
in-law. John Rines and wife of Seat

mother on this occasion. Mr.. Rines
gave a brief history of his family
from the time that his great grand
father arrived in Boston in a SIN all ves-
sci from France. Miss HELEN Toles
conducted nice little program and
otherwise took leading part in the
entertainment. Some very fine violin
music, both sacred and secular, was
performed by the master hand of ].
DeBert. Seldom do we in this remote
part have the pleasure of hearing such
refined music. After nice supper
purveyed by Mrs. Miller, the younger
people enjoyed a dance. Mrs. Rines,
who at ninety is still hale old lady,
was going about among her guests
until two O'Clock in the morning,
when the company broke up, all ad-
hitting that they had enjoyed them
selves greatly.
On Saturday ]. H. Nance while do
ing some work in his garden, heard a
a bear went to the house for his gun.
Sure enough there were two bears
not fifty yards from where he was
working; the first one he shot at was a
large one, but it made off. The next, a
smaller one could not resist the urgent

intervals. Wagon wheels would run
easily on fiat rails eight or ten inches
wide. with fianges on either side to pre-
vent the wheels slipping off. Except
mon main travelled roads the cost might
be pretty heavy, but there would be al
most no limit to the loads that could be
drawn upon such n track. Bicyclists
could easily use it. The appearance
might not quite equal that of good,
well-crowned macadam road, but the
idea is worth considering, especially in
regions where macadam stone is scarce.
One beauty of the steel track is that
wagons with narrow tires could safely
use it. Macadam necessitates broad
tire law, which causes some opposition.
How true it is that there's nothing
new under the sun! Here we are again
back at the old plank road idea. \ steel
plank running lengthwise instead of
wooden one crosswise; that's all the diff
ference.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

How can we know of the presence
of the root louise? You can Judge from
the lnotty and woody appearance of the
root and its blush or grayish color; an
other tendency is to send out large
number of rootlets, these indicate the
presence of root lice.
AS we approach the northern limits
of the apple belt, the number of varie-
ties that can endure the climate rapidly
diminishes. Obviously then, the num-
Der of varieties of first quality that may
be grown on the northern confines of
the apple region must be comparatively
very small.
The apple leaf crumpleris an orchard
insect of peculiar economic Importance,
because it winters on the tree not more
than half grown and attacks the young
leaves rs fast as they put forth in
spring. 1t thus does vastly greater
mischief than 1t could little later in
the season.-Farmers' Voice.

Temperature Dominates the Dairy.

All of the trouble that so many eN-
perience in getting butter to come is
due to some mistake in handling the
cream. 1t is neither not ripe or over
ripe, or if properly ripened, it is too
warm or too cold; or, again, it may
be that there is too much in the churn.
The Jersey Bulletin says that tempera-
ture is tho law that dominates in the
dairy; it governs in the setting Of the
milk, in the ripenng of the cream ard
in the churning, in the making and pack
ing of butter as well. The only index
of temperature upon which the but
ter-malier can rely is the thermometer.
and the buttcr-maher without a Their
nlometer is as bad off as mariner
without compass. Use thermom-
cter and know when your cream is too
hot or too cold.

A GOOD INVESTMENT.
experience OF German Town shows
That Improved Roads Pay.


b. +. Fernow, in an article in the In
dependent, to show that permanently
good roads are an important element
in any rational system of forestry, cites
the example of the little city of Goslar,
In the Harz mountains of Germany.
This old town owns n forest of 1900
acres, which the citizens treasure as
one of their best investments, because
1t not only furnishes them outing
grounds and good sport in the way of
hunting, but with sure and continu-
ously increasing revenue. Under con-
servative management the annual cut
Is $4,000 cubic feet of wood, and the
net income from the sale is, in round
numbers, $4,000 year. or $3.50 an
acre year, which is a good return from
soil unfit for agriculture. Formerly
the district was without good roads,
but in 1875 the forest manager per-
suaded the city fathers to appropriate
enough money to construct first-class
road system, which was gradually COM
pleted. In 1891 $4,000 had been spent
on roads, and 141 miles of these roads
were in good order. The manager kept
an account of the influence of this inn
provement on the profits and cost of
his forestry operations, and he was
able to show that the annual cost of log
ging had been reduced by $2.450, the
cost of hauling by $2,52O, and the result
of the sales due to the fact that much
formerly unstable material could now
be disposed of and all could be trans
ported more conveniently was increased
by $3,255, being net increase of $s,255,
or nearly 33 per cent. OF the amount in
vested in road improvements. On one
road which was macadamized and main
tanned for n year at cost of 81 ,440 an
instructive comparison was made be-
tween the cost of hauling 40, 900 cubic
feet of wood over the old and over the
new roads. On the old road 4.273 loads
were required of 10 cubic feet each,
and costing $500, or amounting in to-
tai to $l5,2S2.S0. On the new road the
same quantity was moved in 2.652 loads
of 1T cubic feet each, and the cost, at
the same price n load, was S9,547.20,
which means that the saving in haulage
alone was $5,735, or rs per cent. of the
cost of the road in one year.

AllrsI Ike Tells OF What Happened at tho
Wedding He Attended.


"Did you attend the wedding out at
old man Jucketts place last night,
I;e?' asked Judge Stringer, the we'll
known Oklahoma jurist.
"Yep!" answered Alkali Ike.
Had lively time, presumed"
"Eh-yah! Some ways it was mid
din lively an other ways it was slower
than snails. Thar was no shootin', an
the Ticker was mizzable. But, take il
all around, up one side and down the
other, it was what you might call

p'inted hour. but we didn't miss him for
quite n spell, OWN to the fact that the
brides mother, who 'peared to he an
advanced woman, sorter objected to
Itickapoo Pete, who was supposed to
DC the groom, and got after him with
soap paddle or suthin' of the kind an
chased him all over the lot.
"She needn't have put herself to the
trouble, for the bride got to thinkin'
the matter over, an concluded that she'd
jest as soon marry Three-Fingered Bah
cock, who had sorter been spinning
around her some little time before, I'M

they would have fought it out il Jim
Whipsaw, from the Rattlesnake place
ranch, hadn't pacified 'em an got 'em
to playin' cards to settle the question.
This promised to satisfy all parties
concerned, but the bride found out that
Three Fingered had put up $500 on his
side against her hand in marriage,
which Kickapoo had staked, which
made her so blamed mad that she swore
IL they didn't value her pure affection
at more'n $500 she'd be hanged if she'd
marry either of 'em! This sorter COM
plicated matters again, but Jim Whip
saw soothed app comforted her an when
the preacher Showed up, by gosh, Miss
Daisy, an Jim stepped forward, hand in
hand, to be married.
Meanwhile Kickapoo had put up
$500 against Threc-Fingered's stakes,
an they were playin along as contented
as couple of kittens. They slipped
their hands into book and give it to
Appetite Bill to hold while the preacher
was gettin' off the solemn words that
made the two hearts one. An then,
after they had congratulated the bride,
thar came the. call to supper, an so
they concluded to make it n show
down. Accordn', Appetite Bill opened
the book an burcussed if both hands
didn't consist of four aces and king
Thcreupon they divided the stakes and
shook hands. An then everybody adj
journed to the supper table, feelin' that
it was indeed good to be thar."-N. Y.
