SKINS OF FOXES AND OFFERS
The Most Valuable Furs Found in the
Pacific Coast Regions.

:, The Most Valuable Furs Found in tn,
Pacific Coast Regions.
/ The most precious of all Pacific coast
. furs is the sea otter. There was time
when this animal was very plentiful
Off the California coast. The Rms
SLAMS are largely responsible for their
destruction at the time they founded
settlement at Fort Ross, at the mouth
OF russian river, in Sonoma county.
some sea offers are still captured off
the California coast, and there are a
rev small vessels specially engaged off
the California coast sea-otter hunting:
put Alaskan waters are the chief source
OF supply of this class of fur-bear;np
animals. Sea offers are always found
ahoat, and the hunter can capture them
IN no other way than by shooting. The
deeper and colder the water thew are
found in the better the fur, and the
higher the price the hunter secures for
the pelt.
hrst-class sea-otter skin in the raw
is worth $500 to the hunter. The best
sea-otter pelts taken off the coast of
California will yield $3.50 each to the
hunter. There may be elements, how
ever, in the pelt which may reduce the
value OF the Alaskan pelt to $50 and that
CT the California coast to five dollars.
the coast of Japan has been pood
hunting ground for sea otter, and dur.
ing the past 25 years several small craft
nave sailed from San Francisco and
san Diego to Japan, QUILTED for otter
hunting. Almost all sea-otter skins are /
marketed in Russia, where the fur is in q
demand. ,

w. H. REED, the Tacoma attor-
ney, was in Pullman Monday en-
route to Asotin, where he has bus
mess interests. Mr.. Reed is one
of the most prominently mentioned
republican candidates for governor
of the state and he will certainly
gain the warm support of the agri-
cultural counties, as he has always
labored to advance their interests.
1t was through his efforts that the
matter of the rebate of freight by
the 0. r. & N, to the Pacific Coast
Elevator Co. became public. and he
is a strong advocate of lower freight
rates He is likewise a supporter
of free silver. Mr.. Reed will doubt
less be an important factor in the
coming campaign, as he would
make a very acceptable nominee
for governor. He is at present state
grain commissioner.

MCKINLEY was nominated for
president on the first ballot at the
st. Louis convention Thursday, re-
ceiving votes more than enough to
nominate. Governor Garrett A.
Hobart, of New Jersey, was also
nominated on the first ballot for
vice president. A gold standard
plank was inserted in the platform,
on the adoption of which % silver
dele5ates, headed by Senator Teller,
bolted the convention. The entire
Idaho delegation walked ont. The
Washington delegation voted for
the gold plank. Protection was
the issue with the majority, and
Mckinley, the champion of the

convention went wild when his

Ex-President Harrison, in writing
OF the interior department and
the distribution of public land in
Ladies Home Journal, says: I'm 1862
the policy OF giving to actual set
tiers thereon a quarter section (f6o
acres) of the public land where the
lands were rated at s1.25 per acre,
or so acres where the lands were
rated at 81. so per acre, was adopted
by congress. The settler Is required
to make affidavit that the land is en-
tered for his own use rs home
stead, and the patent does not issue
to him until he has resided upon
and cultivated the land for five
years. In the case of soldiers and
sailors the time served in the army
or navy, and in the case Of those
discharged for wounds or disability,
the whole term Of enlistment may
be deducted from the five years res
idence required, but at least one
years residence is required in such
cases. It WAS o wise and benedcent
law, and if it had come 20 years be-
fore would probably have settled the
question of the extension Of slavery
without any further help from our
statesmen.

Found dead
There is something SO shocking about
sudden death that the mere mention of it
greuches the nerves of sensitive people.
Millions of people pray for deiverance from
it. Every Sunday in every Episcopal church
il the world, these words are said:
From battle, and murder and sudden death,
Good Lord, deliver US
lust why sudden death should be shock
ing, and death after lingering disease easy
to bear, would puzzle any one to tell. It
would seem that it would be more terrible
to see some loved one wasting away, daily
becoming weaker-daily slipping toward
death no less certain because it was slow IN
coming Consumption causes more deaths
than heart disease -more than cholera
more than yellow fever more than any
other disease the world has ever known.
And yet people are careless about it. A man
in danger of sudden death from heart dis
ease can avoid the danger simply by keeping
quiet and avoiding excitement. Consunp-
ton goes right on with its deadly work, no
matter what the man does or how he con-
ducts himself, if he doesn't take the right
medicine to cure it. Consumption affects
the whole body It is blood disease. It
permeates the whole system. It shows in
the lungs because the blood goes to the
lungs for publication. 1t carries impurities
there to be made pure. If there is too much
iuipurit,, the lungs are observation-disclosures
loaded the inpurity stops there. The
germs of disease stop there. They develop
and multiply and then consumption takes
definite form. Dr.. Pierce's Golden Med

Uncle Sans Many Lighthouses.

All the light stations of the United
States are grouped in 16 inspection
districts, to each of which is assign
ed an army officer as engineer and
an officer of the navy as inspector.
Eight of these districts are allotted
to the Atlantic and gulf coasts; the
ninth, tenth and eleventh cover the
great lakes; the twelfth and thir-
teenth extend from southern Cali
fornia to Alaska, while the remain
ing three mbrace all pavigable wa
tiers Of the Mississippi valley, on
whiah are displayed some l, 400 stake
or post lights. There are about $50
light stations on the Pacific coast,
about 265 on the great lakes and
about $50 in tho eastern districts, or
between 2, 600 and 2, roo in all. 1t is
impossible to state the exact num-
Der, as new stations are constantly
being established. OF all these the
oldest is Boston light, on Little
Brewster island, in Boston harbor,
which was established in 1915 and
last rebuilt in 1850. The next oldest
is On Brant point, at the entrance to
Nantucket harbor. which WAS estnb-
lished in 1746 and last rebuilt in
1856; while the third in point of
age is the Gurnet, off Plymouth, es-
tablished in 1769.-Eirk Munroe in

A Seed Pod That Ezplodes.

It is o funny little brown pod
about the shape of cigar and only
an inch long. But if it is dropped in
o pail of water it will explode sud-
denly with a loud crack, and from
the inside Of it q shower of small
seeds will shoot upward into the air
This pod is the fruit Of a semi
tropical plant Of the genus justiois,
and nature has given it the power
of bursting so that it may scatter
its seeds far and wide. Sometimes
after it falls on the water it will lie
for some minutes quite still and
then burst with sharp explosion.
This explosion occurs because the
outer coat of the pod soaks easily,
and this causes the hard inner coat
to bend and bend until it bursts.
Nor is this all of the wonder about
the pod. When the seeds strike the
water, little mucilage flows out
and enables them to stick to the
first object they reach.-Chicago
Record.
