Wonderland for 1896.

Foreshadowing the summer travel that
Ia sure 10 set IN toward the Pacific North
west. the Northern Pacific railroad has is
sued its 1896 edition of wonderland" the
little manual that has become so useful to
tourists and 80 popular with the public at
large The silhoutte landscapes on the
cover give promise OF an attractive inte-
rsor which Is not belied as the reader turns
the leaves, which he finds full of good read
ing matter and adorned with handsome
cuts
\ valuable feature Of the present number.
and one which cannot fail to
bring good results is the exchange
Of a good deal of purely descrip-
tive matter for pages OF solid and in
terest!ng facts. More attention than usual
Is devoted TO the cities along the line Of the
road. and the cuts OF Seattle do better jus
tice to the city than the ordinary pamphlet
plates that have been so widely circulated.
The chapter devoted TO Yellowstone park is
twice as long as heretofore. and is well
calculated to make the summer traveller
sigh for that wonderland of scenic beauty.
The Gray's harbor and South Bend coun-
try is given unusual attention.

for the humorous gifts OF Ezra Kendall. ana

entirely unworthy OF further coas;dera-

In that manner. In fact, in his character
as Giles Button, the large audience at the
Seattle theater last night not only seemed
dislnciined TO dismiss him, but even to al
low him 10 take a rest 1t may be said
that he is one of the drollest monologists
that has ever visited Seattle, and that he
would probably he quite as welcome as
Ezra Kendall without any background OF
a pretended farce behind him. The char
acter that he has created that OF YAM

humor which seems so natural and spon-

part of the old farmers wife, in the sec

POWER OF ORGANIZATION.

Repuhs ican Clubs.

Repuhi lean Clubs
Scott Swetland chairman Of the Republi-
can state central committee. is actively in
terested in encouraging the organization OF
Republican clubs throughout the state. A
circular letter which he Is sending cut con-
tains the following suggestions:
A large list of names TO commence with
IS not necessary. Even half dozen would
be sufficient for a complete organ:za ton
which could be 50 increased as to exert a
wonderful influence in your local work.
Get all the good names you can 10 start
with. but do not allow any unnecessary de-
lay. Begin as soon as possible to circulate
the call for meeting sent herewith. and or
gar1ize as soon as practicable.
''The form of suggestions sent you, to-
gether with the form of constitution and
bylaws have received the careful consid-
Grafton of the state central committee. and
We fully realize the immense amount of
assistance which can be given the COM
mittee by the local clubs during the ardu-
Gus and important work OF the campaign
1t is hoped that such a system of local
club organization can be effected as will
put the committee into close touch with
local clubs. so that important Information,
which has sometimes in the past been DIFF
ficuit or impossible 10 obtain. may be readi-
~ and speedily secured.
TT is unnecessary 10 urge upon you the
vital need of Republican success. Never
during the past thirty years has the coun-
try needed the Republican party as much
as II needs it today. It is the sole duty or
the hour of every Republican to work for
the success OF his party and thus assure
and advance the welfare of the country.
This work you can advance by arous!ng
interest and securing organization IN your
precinct.
THE influence Of organization is Won
derful. Let Us use It,"

SLEEPING CAR RATES.
Discussed ut tho Northwestern Passen-
ger Association Meeting.

The Northwestern Passenger Associa-
ton held its regular monthly session in
Tacoma yesterday afternoon, Secretary
III J. Roche presiding. The claim Of the
Great Northern railroad 20 the right 20
ecralize sleeping car rates between Port
land and st. Paul, by absorbing the local
sleeping car fare from Portland TO Sc
attic, came up for discussion but no ac-
ton was taken in regard to Il. As was
stated in the Associated Press dispatch
from Chicago last week. this matter has
been referred TO Chairman Caldwell. Of
the Transcontinenta! Passenger Associa-
ton. for a ruling, but he has declined TO
make ruling until ne has more light on
the subject. While nobody denies the
right OF the Great Northern. the Union
Pacific snd o. Il. & \. railroads say that
If the great Northern has the right to go
into Portland and make a sleeping car
rate of $3.50 TO St. Paul and $3.50 to Chi
cago. they have the right to come to Sc
attic and make $3.50 rate to the Mis-
souri,. which rate is the same as the st.
Paul rate, and $3.50 to Chicago.
Articles of the association were up for
further revision, but it is not known what
action was taken.

The possibilities to the Sound in the trade

A source of wealth lies at our doors of

who has become rich by sending one ves-
sci each year to Alaska, loading her with
cod and selling the lot on the return. He
has cleared thousands of dollars each
year by sending but one vessel. He was
offered $1,000 for a half-interest in his
business short time ago. What could a

The fishermen who have gone after hall

valuable when gotten to the market fresh.
Being a tender fish they spoil quickly.
In Central and South America, where
such quantities OF fish are used, because
the people are Catholics and have so many

for saited cod exists. In Gloucester. Mass.
every business man owns an interest in
some fishing boat. Statistics show that
80 per cent. of the fishermen there who go
out after salt water fish succeed. They
travel as far as 300 miles to their fishing
grounds, and Gloucester is associated in
the minds CT gil with the expectation of
large quantities OF fish. Seattle Is in
position to take the lead in the fishing in
custry. The finest fishing grounds in the
world are within easy reach"

Salvation Army Tea.

IMPORTANT: There are very few
things more hurtful than common
tea. An eminent English doctor
once said: IF the public gave up
drinking common tea, the occupa-
ton of one half of our profession
would be gone" Good tea, how
ever, is refreshing and stimulat-
ing, and in introducing this arti-
Gle to the public, the officers of the
Salvation Army have taken great
pains to secure a tea, which can
with the greatest confidence be re-
commended as being of the very
highest standard of excellence,
and have decided to sell it at
price within the reach of every
body, and although it will leave
US a very small margin of profit
indeed, we are satisfied, knowing
that what we sell is sure to give
satisfaction. Sold in lib packets.
