Popularity Known as the "0ld Ironsides
OF the Great Lakes"
The oldest steam warship in the
United States navy is the Michigan.
Her quaint shape, glistening in con-
tinually-renewed coats of white paint,
is familiar sight to the thousands of
summer tourists upcn the great lakes,
where size reigns, the sole naval guar
dian of Uncle Sans vast interests.
Away back in 1s43, says the Illus

Owing to the inability of Mr.. Henry

assistance he is reluctantly compelled
to abandon the entertainments he
proposed to give at the Opera House
on Monday and Tuesday evenings.
An efficient orchestra to render the
beautiful music which accompanies
Mr.. Lees representations is such an
essential feature of the entertainment
that without it, or even a limited num-
Der of musicians, Mr.. Lee does not
feel justified in appearing before a

Ii You
Were
About
To Go By

To go buy a Bicycle, don't do so un-
OURS the "go by" Why we sell so
many Bicycles is no mystery, for the
names Rambler" Columbia" and
'-Stearns" are known TO every one who
knows what the word Bicycle means,
and about everybody in the Islands
knows that we are the agents for these
three leading makes.
We will not say much about the
''Stearns" this time, as the lot of 80
wheels which left New York on Febru-
airy 10th, did not catch the Australia"
and you do not want to hear about a
wheel you cannot see, so we viii tell
you about them when they get here.
But if you want a pretty mount, some
thing up TO date, come in and see orr
81 Columbia and "Ramblers:" but
come quick, as we have sold over half
of the lot just received, and we are sure
TO be out of both makes before we can
get a good look at them ourselves.
We will have just forty-four (4D BIZ
cycles on the Australia" when she gets
here on March 30th. and from that on
We don't think anybody will go by to
buy a wheel because we have not got
the stock to show them.
Our Columbus this year, as we'll
as our "Ramblers,' are fitted with the
well-known c.. & J. tires. This tire has
proved TO be the best one ever used in
these Islands, and if you get the gen
uine G.. & J. tire you get what you need
for this climate and our roads. The
genuine G.. & J. tire is sold by the
Rambler" Agency here, and is fitted
TO wheels we order. You can get tires
that are said to be G.. & J. and look
just the same, but you won't want more
than one pair; looks don't wear, you
know.
Points of interest to you will be the
way the spokes are fastened on the
''Columbias," the new special seat and
the handles and grips on the Ladies
"Ramblers;" in fact, you will find lots
to interest you. and you are welcome to
examine any wheel to your hearts con-
tent. even if you have no idea of buy
ing We have just added largely to
our stock of sundries-such as Lamps.
Bells. Luggage Carriers, Bike Stands,
Enamels. etc.-and we can fit you out
with about anything you need.

The Right of Way.

Notwithstanding all that has been

oDseryant cyclist to spend an afternoon

lation of simple rules that sbould Inv

the bare the circumference was found
to be S3 feet II inches. There wal
not throughout the tree the slightest
indication Of unsoundness. In all the
forests Of Washington there is not a
tree, young or old, which would make
finer lumber than this. There is way
to tell the age OF every tree, just as
there is to learn how many years a
horse has lived With the tree the
! problem is solved by studying the
number % rings that are clearly dis
cernible when the saw has severed the
great mass OF wood into sections. This
test, when applied to the Washington
tree, showed that it was at least 4S4
years since the day when it became a
sapllng In the heart of the Cascade
mountains. There are fierce storms ia
the Cascades every winter. The wind
blows tremendously and the snow falls
good deal after the same fashion
that 1t does in the Rocky Mountains.
But the big tree has gone all through
this weather for almost five centuries,
and IL man had only let it alone 1t
would have been none the worse for
wear. The men who own the tree In
its present form have submitted to
scientists the question regarding the
changes which undoubtedly took place
around 1t during the centuries that
have interviewed since it began to grow.
or course, ii is impossible TO examine
in detail the forests OF the Cascade
Mountains. but SO far as investigation
has demonstrated the big tree was the
oldest Ia the state OF Washington
Scientists hold that the facts stated
prove that there has been no material
change in the earths surface in the
state of Washington and probably In |
the entire territory of the United |
States for at least 500 years. 1t has
been held by some that the surface
of the earth In the far western sections
of our country differed materially from
what 1t is even with SO recent pc
riod from the scientific point OF view.
as five centuries ago. Hence the big
tree completely disproves the cher
lshed theory. 1t is quite likely the
wooded giant was tiny sapling In the
days when Columbus first discovered
the West Indies. 1t has grown steadily
and without opposition since that date.

A farmer who kept the best stock TO
be had, and whose eggs were always
fresh and his fowls plump, complained
that he got no more for them than his
neighbor, who gave his f1ocks but lit
tie attention, says a writer in Mirror
and Farmer. Both shipped their pro-
duce to the same city, to be sold by
of eggs per year. When we reflect on
commission merchant. His friend, who
had listened to the complaints, remark
ed: "How can you expect customers
to know that you have something
choice to sell when you do not make
the fact known? Why do you not adj
vertise?" The farmer remarked that
only breeders advertised. "You try it,"
said his friend. The farmer inserted
an advertisement in a leading daily, as
follows: "a farmer who collects his
eggs daily, and who keeps pure bred
fowls, desires families to send orders
to him direct; no egg over "a hours
old" The result was that in less than
a week he had more applicants than
he cold supply with twice as many hens
as he possessed, and with only one adj
vertisement, which cost him less than
dollar. There were customers wait
ing for him, and as soon as he made
himself known they came. He received
from 10 to Is cents per dozen more
than the market price for eggs and his
customers were willing to pay we'll for
them.

A few years ago the writer agreed
with the popular opinion that the good
old purple and white-of the
old homestead would be spoiled by any
| attempts TO enlarge or double its flow
ers or modify in any way its peculiar
| fragrance. But the lover of the good
old varieties must decide in favcs ni
the best new sorts after careful ex-
animation. The foliage is better, they
blossom profusely when much younger,
the trusses of bloom are larger, the
petals are larger and thicker, the fra
GRANGE is more delicate, and the doub-
ling of the flowers of some of them
give the rich expression and even the
colors of the best Hyaclnth. OF the
single lowering sorts, well tested in
Iowa, one OF the best is Charles X. 1t
