A dispatch to the Pr. states that
there are now more than 100 men en-
ployed at the Port Ludlow mills, which
opened up only few days ago. On
last Saturday night there was grand
opening ball at Ludlow which was a
success in every particular, more than
3OO persons being present from the
surrounding country, about seventy
five going over from Pora Townsend.
The schooners Lyman ID. Foster, for

that on December l it will be necessa-
ry to begin running the mill night

"America's Wonderland" is the
title of a splendid book for which Mrs.
Mary Cyphert is taking orders. It is
large volume of 512 pages, of history
legend, adventure and Photographic
wonderland equal to 5000 pages OF
the ordinary book, Including 500 grand
photographs of the finest and most in
teresting scenery of America. Several
Alaska and Northwest views are among
the number. The history of the Van
ished races is very interesting. It is a
truth that even those who can well
afford it are unfamiliar with the splen-
did scenery of our own country, but
here is an opportunity within the
reach of everybody to have these splen-
did reproductions at hand. The chill
dren, as well as their elders, will find
many hours of pleasure and instruc-
ton in looking over this splendid
volume, and its many tales of adven-
ture and legend, as we'll as the we'll
written descriptive matter, will inter
est all the familv. AS a beautiful
holiday gift book, we could suggest
nothing better. The engravings are
works of art, and being Photographic
reproductions, are true to nature. The
book is 9ax12 inches, III substantial
bindings for a comfortable ornament
if desired The price is from SIS up
wards, according to binding. Mrs.
Cyphert can also offer easy payments,

Log Drivers in the Swim

Henry Hewitt, of the ST. Paul & Ia

from Snohomish county yesterday
He says the freshets will result IN big
drives of logs on the rivers. About
100000 feet will come out on the
Stillaguamish and 100000 feet on
the Snohomish. The boom at Stan
wood broke and let out 100000 feet

and will get most of the rest. The
Snohomish river booms are standing

rivers are bank full and more The

Will Enforce School Law.

The state law making it compulsory
Tor children above certain age to at
tend school is to be enforced in Pierce
County. Secretary Mock will prepare
report to be submitted to the SUI
perior court showing the number of
children above the required age who
are not attending school. This report
must be handed in before December /,
as the following provision in the school
law Will show: "* Report to the
superior Judge before the first day of
December OF each year the name and
residence of every child who fails to
attend school, as required by law, and
shall submit at the next regular meet
ing OF the school board of his district. .
A violation of this law means a fine
OF not less than $40 nor more than $25
the compulsory period for every child
OF school age being three months in 8
year, unless it is shown that his or hel
labor is absolutely necessary for the
support of family. The schoo
census shows total of over S,OO(
children OF school age, yet the attend
ance does not foot up 5000.
The superintendent of Mason Coun
ty has sent blanks to each of the schoo
district clerks, to be returned to the
clerk OF court by Dec. |, and it is ex
pected that some who have been neg
ligent in this matter will be called up
on by Judge Hodgdon to explain why
their children have not attended al
least 2 months.

Best strawberry Record.

In your October issue A. L. Yates,
OF Rosedale, Wash, is said to have sur
passed the record in strawberry raj s.
ing-5000 quarts from 5000 hills.
That is pretty good, but can beat
that by just one-half. [ have 1900
plants off of which I picked and sold
2400 quarts, or one and one-half
quarts to the hill. The varieties were
about $50 each Of Sharpless and Will
son and about 100 hills of Jucunda.
The plants are set same distance apart
as Mr.. Yates, 1Sx36 inches, and cover
less than one quarter of an acre of
ground.
These berries were raised on strong
clay loam and not irrigated, but the
Planet Jr. hand cultivator was kept
going among them even between pick
ings, and finer berry never reached
the markets, as Mr.. Robert Mclean
the wide-awake grocer Of Tacoma av-
enue and Fifteenth street, Tacoma,
will testify.
Allow me to correct a mistake in
the article referred to abOve-one acre,
on which there were 5000 plants set
1886 inches. These 5000 plants set
1896 inches only cover a little over
one-half acre, as it takes about $3.50
plants to the acre set ISx36 inches

Rapid transit. to the Klondike coun-
try is certainty. By February a
system of Modern equipped snow trains
will have been established and putin
to practical operation between Fort
Wrangel and Dawson City, with
weekly schedule service.
When this project was first made
public several weeks ago it was gener-
ally looked upon as Utopian-an idle
dream of still more idle dreamer.
But, backed by the approval of and
suggestions gwen by Secretary of War
r. A. Alger, who Immediately saw its
feasibility and practic ability, the pro-
moter went to work industriousl', n
listed the interest of capitalists in
Chicago and elsewhere, and finally so
developed the enterprise that its reali-
zation is only few weeks off, accord
ing to the Chicago Times Herald.
The initial train will leave Fort
Wrangel on January Is. 1t will be
known as the "Klondike Pioneer
T:ain," and will consist of six of the
Gloversnow traction locomotives ard
twenty-four passenger and freight cars,
all set on runners. The train will be
divided into six sections of four cars
and one locomotive each. These sec
tiofls will follow each other at intervals
of ten minutes, just as is done today
on the railroads.
This six-sectioned train is scheduled
to arrive at Dawson City twelve days
after its depart ure from Fort Wrangel.
While the principal object of the first
train will be to transport food supplies
to the thousands OF suffering miners
who rushed to this Eldorado last sum-
mer in quest of fortunes in gold, it
will also establish permanent COM
munication with those otherwise and
heretofore lmpenetrable regions in the
win ter season. It will also shorten
by four months the trips Of those who
were bent on going to the Klondike in
the spring but delayed until naviga-
ton opens down the Yukon river to
Dawson City, thereby giving them
ample time to prospect and stake out
claims and be ready for work as soon
as the weather begins to moderate.
"It is a we'll known fact that Mr.
Glover's machines have been in sue
cessful use for several years past in
the lumber regions of Northern Michi-
gan and Wisconsin, doing their work
regularly in the heavy SHOWS and low
temperatures of those sections. In all
these engines steam has been exclu-
sively used as the motive power, coal
wood and water being easily obtained
and successfully utilized with the
temperature frequently as low as 45
degrees below zero, and in snow from
three to five feet deep. In view Of the
fact that the country in which these
machines are now to be used is prac-
tically without existing sources OF
supply, where fuel may be scarce and
water difficult to be obtained when
wanted, and where the pioneer train
at least must carry its supplies Of fuel
and stores as we'll as sufficient
quantity to be distributed at stations
to be established along the route fol-
the use of returning trains, engines
using solid fuel for the generation OF
steam from water cease to be practic-
able, hence the adoption OF the Sperry
system, which uses petroleum or one
of its many distillates alone.-P.-I.

that if an eastern man wanted to come

OFTEN our attention is called to a
forest monarch whose roots are clasped
across the moss-covered body of a
great cedar, fallen perhaps centuries
ago. Such evidence of the durability
of Washington cedar is very common,
as we'll as cedar shingles that have
been in the understanding business

ever, some Egyptian boats, made of
cedar, probably in use $500 years ago,
have been found buried near the banks

they furnish an interesting proof of
the power of cedear wood to withstand
