A Bit of Assurance.

Shelton is now congratulatlng her
self on prospective railway connections
with the world at large. A four mile
extension of the Shelton and South
western railway to a connection with
the Grays Harbor branch of the North
ern Pacific is all that is necessary to
attain this, and the connecting link
has already been surveyed by short
and feasible route, says the West Coast
Trade. The building of this ''llnk,"
and we are advised that it will be built
in the near future, will be another
spoke in Elma's wheel of progress, as
it would necessitate the running of
trains from Shelton into Elma to give
the Shelton and Southwestern a con-
nection with the Northern Pacific.
Another feature, and one we do not
wish overlooked is that it would give
people of Shelton, and the loggers in
that vicinity, an opportunity to come
to a live town to do their trading-and
they night use our postoffice, too.
Let the good work go on.-Elma
Chronicle.
We are pleased to have the Chron-
icle encourage our railroad project,
but the feature Bro. Watson evidently
overlooks is that the people of that
region would very likely flock to Shell
ton for their trading. One store in
Shelton probably handles as much
merchandise each month as all of
Elma's business houses, and prices
why all our stores are selling goods
cheaper than they can be bought in
Seattle or Tacoma at retail. We refer
you to price list in another column.
Several large farmers from the lower
Satsop already market their produce
and buy their goods in Shelton. Ell
ma is nice little town, but Shelton is
the liveliest little town on the Sound,
and that fact is generally known. All
we want is some more factories employ
ing more family men in town.

Jerry and the Rabbit.

The other morning while Jerry Say
Ter was going over his section of the
railroad track on a tour of inspection
he noticed just ahead of the handcar a
rabbit sitting beside the track with
both front feet upon the iron. AS the
rabbit did not stir on his approach he
stopped the car to investigate the cause
OF the strange behavior of the little
creature, and found that very rabbit
like it had placed both feet on the iron,
where they had become frozen so fast
the rabbit could not move, and Mr..
Sayler picked it up and brought it
home with him.-MOntesano Vidette.

Wants to Fight a Duel.

WASHINGTON, March 14-Represen-
tative Linton of Michigan, the A. P. A.
leader in the house, received some days
ago letter from Capt. Thomas Phe-
Ian of Kansas City, we'll known Irish
agitator, challenging him to fight a
duel at Bladensburg, the challenge be-
ing preceded by long denunciation of
Linton's course in opposing church
school appropriations and placing a
statue of Father Marquette in the cap
itol. Linton paid no attention to the
challenge.

Prune Culture.

l.. B. Clough, speaking of prunes,
says: "Of all the varied and rapidly
growing infant industries of the great
state Of Washington, none, to my mind,
give more promise than does that of
fruit culture, particularly OF the west
ern slope, where the climate influences,
superior soil and the absence of ex-
tremes in weather, all tend to make
the raising of different varieties of
fruit, such as prunes and apples, to-
gether with countless smaller varieties,
of easy growth in great abundance.

0. W. OWEN, of Buffalo, tells how to
grow apples that shall have neither
seed nor cores. "Where the tree is
sufficiently young to admit of bending
Or twisting without breaking, take the
extreme top of . limb or small tree
and bring it to the earth, bury it, and
when it shall have taken root, cut off
the other end of the limb or tree, and
you thus have reversed the order of
things, the body or heavy part of the
limb being uppermost. New limbs,
leaves and blossoms viii put forth in
due season and the fruit will be free of
seeds or cores. = Philadelphia Ledger,
