j. F. Stahl, Madison, S. d.: Dear Friend
Il thought l would drop you a few

don't know whether you received my
letter or not. | send you a small mug.
get, worth $l.7O, in this letter. l hope
you will get it. The sample l sent you
IN July vas fine dust that I PANIED out
of ground that had been worked over
before. Myself and Fred had better
luck than many that went gold hunting.
If we don't sell, we have ground to keep
us working for ten years.
Alaska is a hard country to exploit.
It is a succession OF mountains, GLACIERS
and swamps 1t Is different from any
other part of the world 1 aver saw, but
it is rich ia mineral. Gold rs found in
any place you look for it, but not always
in paying quantities. But, 1 think, in
time there will be some rich strikes
made in COOK inlet.
Now, Jim, if you get this letter, please
answer at once. We will have to leave
civilization rs soon as possible. Hoping
this will find you and yours enjoying
good health and prosperity, I remain
yours very truly, j.. A. GRANT.
MI. Grant encloses the following clip
ping from a Port Angeles newspaper,
dated Port Townsend, November /:
The schooner Norman Sunde, of the
fleet operated by the Cooper River
Trading company Of this place, arrived
this morning, t~wenty-one days from
Cook Inlet. The run was made from
the Inlet to within sight of Cape Flat
terry in fourteen days, when the schooner
was becalmed for five days, the actual
sailing time from Cook Inlet to Port
Townsend being sixteen days. The
schooner brought down sixteen passen-
gers, who nave a total of $4,000 in gold
dust taken from placer mines Of Cook
Inlet. The names OF the returning
miners:bringing the largest amounts are:
John Rivers and wife, Helena, Mont,
$4,000, James Greenlief, Port Townsend,
5 $1,000; Robert Duncan, Seattle, $4,000;
John Woods. Grays Harbor, $4,000; G.
Creedop, Fresno, Cal, $4,000; j. Frazier,
Seattle, 1920; Grant d Crozier, Port
Angeles, $1,000. !
All of the above except Grant &
Crozier have been at Cook Inlet for two
seasons. The latter went in only seven
months ago. located claims and washed
out $4,000 each, single handed and alone.
James Greenlief, who has $4,000 with
him, made his stake operating a pack
train.
OF the sixteen who came out to spend
the winter, nearly all will return in the
spring to further seek after the yellow
metal. There has been no sickness al
Cook Inlet during the past season and
those who arrived this morning are az
rugged and vigorous in appearance al
any party Of ingoing miners seen here
this year. .

An amusing result of the recent Ger
man attack upon defence!ess Hayti
which may in time become a serious
complication if allowed to grow and
fan itself into a flame is the bitter and
naughty feeling which the Germans
themselves entertain towards the United
States for its attempt in "A very feeble
way 10 have Germany exercise decent
treatment Of the Haytiaps. The Berlin
Deutsche Zeitung has a long TRADE OF
abuse OF the United States for the part
played in the Hay tian affair and hopes
that Won Bulow, the German prime
minister, will draw appropriate con
illusions for his future policy in regard
to America, whose interfering i%nsolence
needs taking down." The Emperor
William is also quoted as having said in
this connection, "this American meddle-
some policy mus: cease or we will be
obliged to teach them manners" and in
which he pointedly referred to the
necessity Of a joint naval war against
the United Stares.
1t is possible that the Emperor
William in his blind ambition to be a
.'war lord' rates the Uuited States as a
fifteonth-rate naval power IA he did
Hayti and can run his wal boats into our
harbors and drub us at pleasure. The
Emperor is excusable for his ignorance
and insolence, but his leading news
paper and his prime minister ought to
know better than to talk that way. The
United States is not seeking a quarrel
with Germany nor any other nation, not
over Spain; but if Germany wants to get
itself into a red hot roast and get the
starch takan out Of the gosllng Emper-
or's collar, it just wants to pounce upon
the United States in the insolent and
unjust manner it did upon little Hsyti.
It will soon find that the buster OF the
bully will not count for much with a
first rate power.

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centre in the stomach,
gently stimulates the liver and kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bitters
improves the appetite, aids digestion,
and is pronounced by those who have
tried it as the very best blood purifier
and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC

using one pound of I've to six gal
Ions of water. This winter spray
ing should be thorough. It is pos
sible that the sulphur-lime- salt
wash may be equally eficacious,
but no experiments have yet been
performed with this substance. The
second spraying should be just be-
fore the flower buds open and a
third one just after the petals fall
off. Both these later sprayings
should be with Bordeaux misture
prepared as follows, viz;
Copper sulphate (bluestone) 4 pounds

Water. .......................5 so gallons
The best results in making Bor-
deaux are obtained by dissolving
the four pounds bluestone in %
gallons water and six pounds lime
in the other % gallons. The lime
water is then poured into the blue
stone water, thoroughly stirring the
mixture during the operation.
WARNING TO oRCHARDISTs.
Monilia fructigena, the brown
rot" is with the exception of the
"yellows," the most serious disease
with which peach growers have to
contend. If the disease is not al
ready introduced into this portion
of the state, be believe there is little
danger of its being brought in, pro-
vided nonursery stock ispurchased
from other sections. If the disease
already occurs at any place in east
ern Washington every effort should
be made to stamp it out. While it
is probable it might never become
so injurious as in damper climates
the danger is far too great one to
risk. G. V. PIPER.
