From MontesanO Vidette:


1t lis reported that F. d. Arnold, a former
well-known citizen OF this county, went
to Chicago from Hoquiam and dealt in
wheat as heavily as he could. When the
rise came last fall he cleared upwards OF
$75 900 ana is now in the banking bust
ness there.
Or. f. l.. Carr went to Seattle Monday,
to meet VIM. Balloon, OF Winona, Minn.,
who was on the sound in search of cedar
shingles to supply his trade. Mr.. Bal
CONS firm handled the output of the Stal
Shingles Co.'S mill at Elma, before it was
destroyed by fire. He reports great diff
Guilty in securing enough shingles to fill
orders now on hand. Last year the firm
handled 600 cars, and this year expect to
sell at least 200 cars of shingles.
Supt. McKillip feels highly gratified
with the success of the contest between
pupils from the graded schools OF the
county. and will offer another prize next
year, which will be divided $15 to the first

The New York Herald has started a
subscription to meet the personal wants
of Mark Twain and not for his creditors,
for which the Sun calls it down, and says
"Mr. Clemens will not accept one dollar
of the Heralds so-called fund upon any
such condition. He is not upon an aims

injury as it is, and if it is prudent it will
call a halt now" All admirers OF Mr..

From Elma Chronicle;


Just across the river from Elma resides
John Damitio, one of the forehanded farm

now one of the busiest men in the county.
He is building new barn, more than 100
feet long and we don't know how wide,
to accommodate his immense grain and
hav crops, which will be larger than ever
before.
Work has been commenced on the Stai

Alvin Porter, who will have the building
ready to receive the machinery as soon
as it arrives. During their enforced idle

The Willapa Harbor Pilot says that
John Hale, Portland contractor, has
bonded the Brown-Stearns granite ledge
near South Bend for $4,000. Continu-
ing the Pilot says:
"Mr. Hale, who secured the option,
is a large railroad contractor and is
now bidding on the Grays Harbor
jetty contract. The specifications for the
jetty work calls for some extra heavy
stone, and several OF the parties who have
in bids. were in to see this ledge of granite
last week. No where on Grays Harbor
can any suitable rock be found, and
whether Mr.. Hale secures the contract or
not, there is little doubt but what the
stone will be taken from this quarry.
"Nlr. Hale has until the 9Th of July tc
test the ledge and find out the quantity
and quality OF the granite. A crew Of
men were put to work Monday morning
to cut a road to the ledge, and six expert
drllers will be sent in at once and ties
made. One OF the tests to be made will
be to see if large enough pieces can be
gotten out to comply with the speciica
tons. The contract will not be let until
the 9th of July, SO that Mr.. Hale must
decide, before he knows whether he il
the successful bidder or not, whether he
will purchase the property or not.
"Mr. Hale estimates that it will cost ir
the neighborhood Of $500 900 to get every
thing in readiness to move the stone from
the quarry to the jetty. If practical
route can be located from the quarry to
the jetty work, a narrow gauge railroad
will undoubtedly be built, otherwise the
stone will have TO be transported to the
liver and then lightered to some point or
the bay and then railroaded to the Gray!

AMONG THE MAGAZINES.

The complete novel in the July issue
OF Lipponcott's is ga Mountain Moloch ;"
by Duflield Osborne. The scene is an
unknown island in the Pacific, settled in
remote ages by Phenican exiles, and
ruled by their descendants. The hero is
an American naval officer, who leaves
his ship for love OF a native princess; and
the adventures and bloodshed are worthy
OF Mr.. Rider lIaggard in his palmies t
days.
Other stories are "William's Spree"
by Louise Boynton, and "The Haunted
Burglar" by the late w. G. Morrow,
author OF "The Ape, the Idiot, and Other
People,"
DR.. Francis f.. Clark, founder of the
Christian Endeavor Societies, who is now
visiting the trees of his planting in re-
mote parts of the earth, furnishes vivid
sketch of "a Plague-Strcken City," writ
ten during a recent scjourn at Bombey
when the bubonic plague was at it's
height. The article will be Of special in
terest to the endeavorers, and to readers
in general.
In spirit and sentiment the July Ladies'
Home Journal is interestingly in accord
with that Of our National birth-month.
An article on "The Greatest Nation on
Earth" by William George Jordon, pic
lures, in most vivid way, the vastncss
Of the United States, and by simple COM

ment is Clifford Towards article, "When

the British when Washington was in
