A large party of ladies and gentle
men enjoyed a moonlight trip to the
Pot Hole at the Ridge last evening,
and also visited the shaft of the For
est Mining company. Burgess Langan,
who chaperoned the party, edited
them with a glowing description Of
the process by which the Pot Hole
was formed and otherwise entertained
them in a manner that will make the
visit a pleasant recollection. The men,
bers of the party were Misses Langan
and Dunleavy, of Philadelphia. Miss
Harmon, Of Orange, N. j.; Miss Alice
McHale, of Pittston; Miss Langan, of
Dunmore, and Misses Alice, Sadie and

AS predicted a few weeks ago, Mr..
| c. H. Geibig has retired from the SER
| vice of the Delaware and Hudson COM
| pany His resignation was accepted
| on the goth inst and his place is now
| filled by Mr.. Davenport, of Parsons.
| Mr.. Gerbig was faithful and efficient
! servant of the company, and his de-
parture will be regretted by every one
who had occasion to do business with
him. Mr.. Gerbig's personal business
| called for more of his attention, and
he felt 1t necessary to retire.
| Perhaps the pettiest piece of van
| dalism ever perpetrated in this part
| of the state was that committed In
| the destruction of the shade trees al
the "Forty-foot" falls on White Oak
creek. This spot was, beyond ques-
tion, the most picturesque nook In
this vicinity, and in the summer time
! especially hundreds found comfort In
the cool shade of the trees that over
hung the falls. But the mercenary
woodman cared nothing for this, so HI
felled every tree near the falls for the
few dollars worth of timber they con
tained. 1t may safely be said tha
there are many in town who would
very willingly give the grasping fel
low, whoever he may be. more thar
the timber was worth If the trees wer,
preserved. No one seems to know wht
Is responsible for this contemptibl,
business, but whoever is, has earned
the condemnation of every one wh'
knew and appreciated this magnificen
work of nature, which has been S,
wantonly destroyed.

FROM ANOTHER YAKIMAN.

Mrs. ID. w. Simmons is in receipt OF
another letter FROM Mr.. Simmons, dated
at Sksguay, Aug. %, from which We
CLEAN many notes that will interest our
readers. Mr.. Simmons states that Skag.
uay is on the boom, having grown from
a town with few or no houses at his al
rival to a place of 80 or more quite re-
spectacle frame houses with large mum
Der still unfinished. There are hundreds
OF tents and those who contemplate re-
naming in Skaguay are hustling for
warmer quarters than those afforded by a
tent and a sheet iron stove. Mr.. Sim
mons and party have completed all of
their packing over the hard portion of the
trail with the exception of one load.
They lost one horse by stumbling and
rolling over the cliff, and two more are
badly used up. Horses are dying at the
rate of ten a day from exposure and over
work. Mr.. Simmons met II. A. Griffin
and party, and all say they have no in
tention of turning back. Every day or
two fresh reports Of an encouraging ma
ture are received from the interior which
spur them on.
For the benefit of the ladies who con-
template going to that country in the
spring Mr.. Simmons adds that while on
the trail he met lady dressed in mascu.
line attire of sweater and overals with
the regulation six-shooter attached to her
belt. Sic was also bound for the interior
Hundreds of discouraged men are turning
back and outfits can now be purchased at
Skaguay cheaper than in Seattle. Mr.
Simmons says it was impossible for them
to take their boats with them as original
ly planned, so they disposed of them and
will build crafts at Lake Linderman
which they expect to reach in about ten
days from the date of this letter. Mr.
Simmons closes his letter by stat ing that
his health and that OF the party was good
and all were in excellent spirits.

FALSE ALARM.

During the campaign last tall one of
the commonest arguments against placing
the affairs OF this state in the hands OF
the fusion party was the oft repeated
warning that such a step would lose
US prestige IN the east. We were a
borrowing state and in addition to the
present investments of eastern people,
We needed much additional capital to
move the wheels of prosperity. We
were warned that with Mr.. Rogers as
chief executive and with the other state
offices filled by men who believe in free
coinage of silver and equal rights for all
no eastern capitalist would think OF plac.
ing investments in our midst, and those
who could would call in and withdraw
what moneys they had already put here.
The warning threatened bugbear,
which after nearly years patient wait
ing, has not come. On the contrary
more money and more people have come
into our state during the last eight or
nine months than during any whole
year under the old administration.
The common people want honest, eco
nomicali men to fill the offices OF trust,
and the man of means, who expects
what is right and does not depend on the
assistance OF trusts and rings for his
profit, also desires honest, economical
men at the helm. Such are the kind Of
men who are guiding the destinies of the
State Of Washington today and eastern
people know it. They know that during
the months of April and May of this
year the public expenditures of the state
were s3405 per day less than the expendi-
lures during April and May the last year
under the McGraw administration, and
that for the month of July they were
$1,000 per day less than during the cor
responding month under the old rule.
They know that the present administra-
ton is in fair way to accomplish saw
ing of from $1,000 to $500 per day for the
entire fiscal year. They know that the
present rule is an honest and conscien-
tious rule, and that dishonest official
is sure to lose his place as soon as he is
found out, as was the case with Fish
Commissioner Crawford few days ago.
They know that investments in this state
are safer today than they have been for
years and they are crossing our borders
by twos and dozens and scores because
xuh hat ID "a,
of populism has turned out to bear a
much closer resemblance to blossomng

They advise all who contemplate going
north to postpone the trip until spring.

H. NJ. Gilbert left Monday night for
his home in Illinois, after having spent
several weeks in looking over the Yak
ina country. He is very much pleased
with what he saw, and will return in De-
cember. He took with him some sam.
pies of peaches and apples which he
purchased himself, and also nice dis
play of vegetables, which we're supplied
by II. B. Scudder and II. L. Linse. He
also took a one years shoot from a prune
tree, that measured nine feet.
The sad news OF the death of Mike
Nowak reached this city Friday morning,
and messenger was at once dispatched
in search of Mrs. Nowak, who was at
work picking hops. About year ago
Mr.. Nowak was stricken with paralysis
at his place in Fairview. He was re-
moved to st. Elizabeth's hospital and
carefully cared for, with the result that
he recovered sufficiently to walk with a
crutch. One side was entirely well. A
few weeks ago he went TO Portland for
special treatment, and last Thursday
evening received a second stroke, which
resulted in his death Friday morning.

The present tariff act prohibits the i'm
portation OF hides into the Unite d States
except from countries where the Secre
tary of Agriculture may designate as free

that four employees of tannery at that
place had died from drinking water con-
taminated by drainage from the tannery
where large number of hides, imported
from China, infected with the deadly dis
ease known as anthrax, the treasury
officials have in preparation a letter to

When the steamer Portland arrived in
Seattle last week the Times OF that city
said she brought down $4,000 in dust
and nuggets; the P.-I. reported the in
voice at from $50 900 to 100000, while
the Oregonian placed it at 100000 and
the Tacoma Ledger stated that it amount
ed to $s55,OO0. The above circumstance
may be amusing on its face, but when
one stops to consider the great hardship
and suffering and failure that have come
to many as a result of such reports. the
aspect is changed. Newspapers owe it
to their several communities to give re-
liable accounts OF current happenings,
and not to distort the truth for the sake of
startling head line.

From here the mountain trail begins and
1t is about forty miles from Skaguay to
the lakes. Pete Norby, Anthony Krober,
Dick Mechanics, Johnnie Miller and
will work together until we get down the
river. We have been working together
ever since We got here moving our stuff.
We have moved everything but three
loads away from the foot OF the mountain.
Some Of it is six miles from here and
some is fifteen miles and three horse loads
are over to the lakes. IL takes four and
one half days to make the trip.
Well, Gets, it is just about what |
thought it would be. 1t is a holy fright
to get over the trail now. Yesterday
they closed the trail to fix it up as the
rains had made impossible. Almost
eyerv day horses get killed on the trail
and yesterday five horses and two mules
were killed so you can see what it il to
get over. We haven't had any bad luck
with our horses yet. We have had them
down but have always managed to get
them up again. We have seven of them
and they sell for from 500 to 500. We
start again tomorrow and we are going
to get there and We will never 20 back
until we do. There are several thousand
people here and don't think one-sixth
OF them will 20 in this fall. Many 20
and look at the trail and turn back again
Some start over and get their outfit part
way over and then 20 back again. |
even saw one man crying because he
couldn't get through. All OF the Yakima
people are here, and il anything, we have
our outfits further along than they have.
Skaguay is good place for man with
little money to go to at present, that is
for short time. He could double his
money by specializing, but | wouldn't
advise any body to come up here now to
go over the hills. Probably you have
heard that the trail is impossible, but it
isn't for us.
| will close for this time. You might
write to me at Dawson for | think | will
be there the latter.part of this month.
