exasperatingly slow for the engineer

up his rifle. and, using steel bullets
cased with copper, shot line Of holes
through the plates from distance OF
about thirty feet. The intervening

and in a very short time the Job was
finished.

Two Uniueky Chinese.

From the Whatcom Reveille: Last
week Mckee, a British Columbia log
ger, sent the cook at his camp to Doug
las. the British Columbia station, just
across the line from Blaine, to get an
express package. The Mongolian
came to Douglas, and instead OF stop
ping there, wandered over the line 10
the Great Northern depot on this side,
where he sat down. A jealous deputy
marshal spied him, and after a few
questions found out that he had no
papers. So he detained him, and, ac-
cording to law, the only thing that
could be done was to deport him to
China, although Mckee came down
and explained and tried TO have him
released to go back and cook. Sun
day the train had just started south
with this Mongolian on board when
some one yelled: There's another
one" Sure enough, there came an
other big, fat, wabbly looking Chinese
across the line. The train was stopped
instanter and he was questioned. He
was on this side Of the line, without
papers, and the funny part of It was
that he was cook, who had been sent
from Westminster to take the other
fellows place as cook In McKee's log
ging camp, and, mistaking his loca-
ton, had wandered too far south. He
cried when he knew his predicament
but law, as interpreted by the officers
is stern as well as surprisingly silly
and he will go back to China along
with No. 1. In the meantime Mckee
has no cook.
