Mr.. Robert Kittles. who for several
months past has been acting as mate
on the steamer Buckeye, met with a
serious accident Saturday evening last
| while at Whatcom. Capt. Chas. Bias
feard and Mr.. Kittles had been I'm
town during the evening and were re-
turning to the steamer when the acct
dent occurred. To those of our readers
who are familiar with Dock street and
what is known as Dock street trestle.
they will clearly understand how the
trouble might occur. Near the point
where the street ends and the trestle
begins there is jog in the street, and
on account of the trestle being con-
demned for general travel, by the CITY,
IL has been closed and fenced up at this
point. The trestle runs across the tide
Hats and at this place is 38 feet high.
When the two men reached here Mr..
kittles put his hand on the railing to
jump over, thinking it was the fence;
the night being so dark they could not
see well. Capt. Basfeard called to him.
but was too late, as he had gone over
the railing and fell 38 feet to the tide
flats below, and landed on a pile of
logs. He was picked up soon after in
an unconscious condition, and at 6
o'clock Monday morning, when the
buckeye left there, had not yet re-
gained consciousness. He was taken
to st. Luke's hospital and the best
medical attendance summoned, but
grave doubts are entertained as to
whether he will recover. He has re-
sided in this country for several years
and is well known and respected by
all who know him.

Gull Out the Sheep.

With sheep, as with nearly or quite
all other stock OH the farm, if they are
made to return the best per cent of
profit, it is essential, first, that good
sheep be kept, and that they be
kept we'll. Good thrifty sheep only
can grow a good fleece of wool, and a
good carcass of mutton and no others
should be kept. With all stock it is a
safe rule never to keep an animal that
does notin some way, either in growth,
milk, wool, increase or work, give a
good return for the money invested.
Considering the money invested, good
sheep pay as good per cent of profit
as any other class of stock. Poor sheep,
i'll kept, often prove loss. -.
For this reason, in many cases it will
pay to Gull out the sheep every year,
selecting the best and fattening and
marketing the animals that have
proved Improbable, and, like the old
ewes, have passed their prime. While
there is plenty of good pasturage is the
best time to fatten this class of stock,
and when fattened the sooner they are
marketed the better With care in
using good ram, selecting the best
ewes, gradual improvement can be
made. Il, doing this it will be best to
discard the purest and oldest ewes and
select sufficient number of the best
eve lambs to take their places. So far
as can be, the culling should be done
in good season, so that there will be
plenty of time to fatten and marker
before it will be necessary to feed dry
feed. WISCONSIN Agriculturist.

There has been tendency gener-
ally among our farmers in the last two
years to let.their grian stand and thresh
it out of the shock. They claim it
saves time and money. We do not
claim that all our farmers do this, but
it seems that debts have compelled
them to dispose of their grain as soon
as possible. This is really the cause
that has brought around this custom.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

The farmers who were persuaded last
year to listen to the wheat and silver
humbug are shuddering now to think
how near they came to being buIlcOed
by it.
Reports from the farming regions
continue to show that the farmers are
reducing their mortgages. This is hard
on the silver theorists but good for the
farmers.
The railroad men who stood like a
stone wall against free silver and an
archy last fall are now reaping their
reward in in increased employment
and improved conditions. So are the
farmers.
The silence of the silver orators is
becoming oppressive these days. It is
in marked contrast with their chatter
of year ago. But come to think oft
the contrast in the relations of wheat
and silver is quite as strongly marked.
1t is estimated that this years eX-
portatiOn of corn will reach 200, 100000
bushels, which is severl times greater
than was ever before exported in any
single year. Will the Democratic
statesmen and statisticians credit this
to the low tariff rates of the Wilson
law?
Can it be possible that the money
kings" of Europe are responsible for
the failure of the crops abroad and the
advance of wheat in the face Of fall
ing silver, market? This is about as
| reasonable as the theory of last year
that The tuoney kings were the cause
of the adoption Of the gold standard
| by all the great nations OF the world.
The contrast between Republican
and Democratic prosperity is strongly
marked. People who remember the
general smash in business of all sorts
during the first year of the Cleveland
administration and then compare the
reviving conditions which mark the
present period of the Mckinley admin
istration will probably not regret the
change which the voters made through
the election of last year.
| A dispatch from La Conner says: "a
large portion Of the business of this inn
mediate section is dependent on the
numbering industry. This has inn
proved very materially. The log
camps and shingle mills throughout
this section are all working on full time
and With much larger force than last
wear; the saw mill at this place is doing
more business than at any time In the
past two years, and there is generally
a marked improvement Ill business
