Some lawyers of Spokane have
devised a scheme by which they say
that land in the Colville reservation
can be settled without waiting for its
purchase from the Indians. Here is
the plan: Under the law, any citizen
can locate as many places or lode
claims Of not to exceed 90 acres each,
as he may choose. Any company OF
eight citizens may make as many 10.
cations of l6O acres each as it may see
fit to take. The land will cost $27 so
per acre, however.
C. P. Ferry, otherwise the Duke of
Tacoma, writes from Switzerland that
a Chinese consul is soon to be estab-
lished on the Northwest Pacific Coast.
He intimates that either Seattle or
Tacoma will get the cOnsularship, and
says the location of China's represen-
tative will depend upon the rustling
abilities of the two cities. In Colonel
Ferry's opinion the establishment of a
Chinese consulate on the Sound
would be followed by rapid increase
in the traffic between the two coun
tries. And now Tacoma is sorry she
drove out the Cinnamon.

to remember Horace's maxim regarding
the aging speed and bid timely adieu
to exploits no longer suited to their
years. A certain stability of the nervous

precise on this head. Neurotic individ-

ing which bulk largely in the popular
imagination are either quite rare or
easily avoided. Thus snow blindness is
not at all Of frequent occurrence, is al
most confined to prolonged exposure to
a blazing sun upon snowfelds and is
usually successfully averted by the use
of colored spectacles. Bleeding from the
nose and ears, which is described by the
early explorers, is practically unknown
at least to any serious extent-at the
present day. Frostbite and sunburn,
though not uncommon, are seldom Sc
we're. Perhaps the most frequent ground
of attack upon mountaineering is its
presumed perilousness. Accidents are
no doubt frequent, but it is certainly
true that for the most part they are
.ayoidable. London Lancet.

sarlsry all our wishes.
But how to do it? The movements Of
the creature would disturb the setting
Of tho plastic covering and distort the
mold.
Another thought. Why not give it
chlororform? The thing had respiratory
organs. That was evident by its breath
ing. Once reduced to state of insensi-
bility, we could do with it as we would.
This was no sooner thought of than
it was agreed to and the guido dis
patched to the village for chloroform
and the necessary materials for taking
plaster cast, and with strict injunctions
to waste no time in going or returning.
At noon OF the fourth day ho returned
with the materials ordered. Five min
utes thereafter we were enabled to re-
move the fetters from the creatures

gagged in covering the invisible form
with the moist clay. In Is minutes
more we had mold, and before evening
rough facsimile of the mystery.
1t was shaped like man-distorted,
uncouth and horrible-but still man.
1t was small-not over 4 feet inches
in height-and it's limbs revealed a
muscular development that was without
a parallel. Its face surpassed in hideous-
ness anything I had ever seen. 1t was
the physiognomy Of what should fancy
ghoul might be. It looked as if it was
capable Of feeding ON human flesh!
Having satisfied our curiosity, it be-
came question what was to be done
with our enigma. 1t was impossible
that we should take such a horror with
us on our return to civilization, and we
were exceedingly reluctant to turn such
an awful being loose on the world again.
1t was finally decided that we would
carry it some distance down the noun
tain 10 small lake and there drown it.
But fate willed otherwise. We had not
covered quarter Of the distance to the
lake, when by some means the cords be-
came loosened, and before we could do
anything to prevent it the thing was
gone, we knew not where, its leave TAX
ing accompanied by horrid mocking
laugh issuing, to all appearance, from
the empty air.
We hurried away from the spot and
down the mountain as fast as our mules
could carry US, and another week saw
us on board steamer whose destina.
tion was New York.
For years we kept a close watch on
the South American news and SO far as
Te could learn the horrible freak of ma
ture, whose likeness in plaster I still
have in my collection of curios, was
pever again encountered by any one.
Since then I have not visited the
northwestern portion Of our sister CONT.

tion of that awful occurrence ats the
ruined monastery on Mount Cayambi.-

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.
Few People Physically Fitted For the At
mosphere of High Attitudes.

mosphere of High Attitudes.
In connection with any sport the
questions which arise are mainly three:
Is it innocent? Is it enjoyable? Is it
healthful? To expect sport qua sport
to yield knowledge or gain is to regard
it from the wrong point Of view. Dulce
est desipere in loco; wo must all relax
sometimes, and tho arguments which
are used against mountaineering would
70 far to condemn all kinds of amuse-
ment.
As regards the three questions which
we have propounded the answer to the
first is easy. Mountaineering is without
doubt innocent, and in the judgment Of
its adhcrents it is inferior to no sport in
point of enjoyment. The third question,
which comes more directly within our
province, admits of more debate.
Can we regard mountaineering as in
tho main and for the mass of tourists a
safe and healthful amusement? This is
question which cannot be answered
without considerable reserve and quail
fcations. Mountaineering-by which
we mean ascents of 10000 or IL. 600
feet and upward-involves much strain
and severe fatigue. The strain is first
upon the muscular system, but it affects
even more Importantly the circulatory,
respiratory and nervous mechanlsms. In
some persons the heart seems to feel the
tax most, in others the nervous system
is chiefly affected. Palpitation and
mountain sickness"-the latter in all
probability a neurosis-are tho two
chief difficulties that beset tho average
mountaineer.
1t is clear from these considerations
that mountaineering is not for every
body. There must be, first Of all, a
sound general physique, considerable
endurance and the capacity for prolong-
ed and continuous effort. But it is not
so generally understood that a sound
heart muscle-a we'll developed and
we'll exercised myocardium-is indis-
pensable for any considerable mountain
eering feats Hence any suspicion of
structural heart disease is an absolute
contraindication for any such exploits.
Further, the heart must be rot only
structurally sound, but we'll exercised
and in good condition. Heuce, sedentary
livers who, for II months in tho year,
have no regular active exercise, should
not employ their holiday month in
mountaineering. Yachting or fishing
would be much safer for such, and per-
haps not less healthful.
Many Alpine accidents have been the
result Of neglect of this very obvious
rule. For similar reasons mountaineer-
ing should bo eschewed by persons in
middle life who have not acquired the

The Sad Ending of Festivities in
Honor of the Queens
Birthday.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 2S.-The Post
Intelligencer's special from Victoria, B.
G., says, regarding the terrible accident
there:
From the brightness and glory Of hol-
iday festivities, Victoria was plunged
into the darkness of horror by terrible
accident which sent thrill Of unutter-
able sadness through the thousands of
guests and filed the city with mourn
ing. An electric tram car on its way
from the city to the scene of the mill
tary parade and sham battle, crashed
through the Ellice Point bridge, and
without moments warning, 61 souls
were plunged into eternity. The list of
dead follows:
Mrs J. A. Trout, Seattle; Jophie and
Alice Smith; James Thompson Patterson;
Oracle Elford, daughter Of P. Elford; Mrs.
Fred Adams; Fred Adams; Mrs. William
Heatherbell of Spring Ridge; Mrs. 6. H.

Ended Carnival Week.
The carnival Of sports of Victoria had
for nearly week been doing honor to
the queens birthday, was just closing,
but the management had planned to
make the day the climax of the celebra-
ton. A military parade had been ar
ranged to take place at Point Macauley,
the rugged promontory that half girdles
the harbor to the west of the city, and
afterwards a sham battle was to be
given.
Early in the afternoon the crowd be-
gan making it's way toward the parade
ground. The main route from the city
is by the electric line which crosses
Victoria arm, on bridge at Elice
Point. The first car got over Point
Ellice safely, but when the second,
which was heavily laden, was about
half way across, an ominous sound was
heard that told of something giving
way. The next instant the middle
span Of the bridge, about 100 feet in
length, swerved northward toward the
gorge and the car went down with a
terrific crash. The tide was high at the
time, and the
Car Was Completely Submerged,
going down into fully % feet of water.

Democratic convention adopted plat
form which demands the immediate
restoration of the bimetallic system and
the free and unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver without waiting for any
other nation. It elected delegates to
the state convention, avoided booming
Governor Altgeld for denomination and

The failure to boom Governor Altgeld
for denomination or to make any

was admitted by the men who ran the
convention to be in accordance with the
