Frank Wandle has returned home
from four weeks visit in Oregon and
finds that the Webfoot Nation is not

land of the clam and the end of wire
line.
Doc. Swarthout says if it quits rain
ing this spring long enough, he intends
to turn his new farm upside down, for
he thinks there is something in it.
The farmers on the Skokomish river
are putting in large crops of potatoes
this spring, as they are all a little
tenderfooted on the free silver PROPOSE
ton. We can't blame them, for an
other administration like C1eveland's
and we would all be bore-footed.
Henry Latham says he thinks the
democrats and populists will run to-
gether this fall, as some of the leaders
are trying to ''coalesce.' If this be
true there will be lot Of pulling and
hauling to pull away from each other
after while.
David Kelly and family have moved
out his homestead on the Wynoochie,
where he will follow his profession of
cutting engine wood, as he thinks the
Peninsular Railroad will be out there
sooner or later.
M. V. Shelton was out to his old
home in Happy Valley Sunday and

Sam Schumacher dropped into town
Sunday, from his sojourn in Southern
California, and he is heartily glad to
get back again. He made the trip
back by easy stages, finding nothing
so good as this vicinity for the labor
ers. Southern California is noted for
its climate, and its chief means of sup
port, aside from its fruit industry, is
from tourists aud health seekers. Phil

Milt has gone to Cripple Creek.

In view of the KawaiahaO con.
cert, the tickets for that at Kane
hameha will not be on sale until
after the public have had suffi-
cient opportunity to secure tick
cts for the kawaiahaO, which
takes place on the 25th of this
month. About the middle of this
week, however, the gray uniforms
about town will indicate that the
cadets are neither fOraging nor re-
cruiting, but privateering for ath-
letic ammunition. They feel CON
tident, however, that they are on

they may be expected to acquit
themselves we'll. The association
itself will be interested in the
financial returns. Their interests
and those of the school are one, so
the school boys want that library
to succeed.
The school glee club will bear
the brunt of the evening, but Prof.
Berger has not been training the
band for naught these two years,
and in the large building, big
enough to allow of their being a
safe distance away, they are eX-
pected to be not mere object of
gOOd-natured curiosity, but of real
musical interest.

rather remarkable coincidence,
out the management will guaran-
tee that there will be no cropping

the visiting public are not in a
strait betwiXt two simultaneous
entertainments.
The fact that Tuesday evening
Is the regular evening for full
moon is another coincidence in ia
vOr of all who desire to concern
themselves in the matter.
The large chorus trained for a
tar's song are glad that there are
so many vessels in port and they
are to have the support of Prof.

which to please all visiting sea
men.
How get out there? The man
agement feel somewhat mortified
at the mere suggestion that a
transportation attraction is neces
Sary, and have left till the last a
hint that the very small part of
the community who are interested
in ''cut rates" will be landed at
our doors for the price of admis,
sion.

THE
Success
is THE
PERFECT FILTER !
BECAUSE:
is THE

First-The filtering medium is Tri-
poll Stone which does not receive into
it's pores the filth and germs it extracts
and which is always the same, no
matter how long in use.
SecOnd-The action of the filter
downward, from an upper to a lower
jar, passes the water, drop by drop,
through the air, restoring the oxygen
thereby which the water may have lost
from stagnation, confinement, or other
wise, and imparting to it freshness of
taste, sparkle and vitality.
Third-Its action is as rapid as is
consistent with efficacy. A too rapid
filtering does not wholly remove i'm
purities.
Fourth-Every part is accessible for
cleaning, and without laboriOus effort.
Thorough cleanliness is the chief requ-
isite of any good filter.
Fifth-The jars being made either of
stOneware or porcelain insures water
being kept pure and uncontaminated
after being filtered.
SiXth-Stoneware for those who de-
sire an efficient yet low-priced filter,
and the finest porcelain, decorated to
suit, enables the SUCCESS to accom-
modate itself to the wants of all in
the matter of price.
Seventh-Its construction admits
also of its capacity being adapted to
suit the wants of all, from the indi-
vidual tourist to the largest hotel or
laundry.
Since introducing the Success Fill
ter, we have sold a large number of
them, and they give perfect satisfac-
ton.
