Mails from the Yukon.

Families and others on Puget Sound
who have relatives and friends in the
Yukon country can expect to hear
from them in about two weeks. Word
tract for carrying the mali, recently
let to Hugh Day, of Juneau, is now in
operation. Mr.. Day is on his way out
from Circle City and is expected to ar
rive in Juneau about February z.
Mail brought by him should, therefore,
reach Puget Sound about February Ia.
Jack Hays left Juneau January 10 for
Circle City, carrying thousand let
tiers, which weighed Is pounds. Both
men are travelling by the overland
route, and are expected to pass some
where along the tributaries of the
Yukon. It is expected there will be
thirty day service both ways after the
delivery of these mails. The contract
let to Mr.. Day calls for a thirty day
service each way, nine months in the
year, with a sixty-day service during
the winter months. The Day brothers
are well known in Alaska, and are
considered fully equal to the difficult
task of carrying the Yukon mails with
something like regularity They have
spent many years on the Yukon and
for some time have had their families
at Circle City.-Ledger.

Legislative Notes.

A bill has been introduced to abolish
the Office of fish commissioned. A
chorus of nays is heard from the 15t
candidates who are in the field, besides
our Joe Gale.
It has been suggested that it would
be good thing if our Legislature
would pass law making it a mis-
demeanor to call Puget Sound lumber
"Oregon fir" and make 1t hold good
in the markets of the world.
The house of representatives has
passed Mr.. Hicks bill to abolish
capital punishment, and to make the
measure apply to these at present
under sentence of death. The bill has
yet to be passed upon by the senate,
and. it seems to us, as unjust to society
and the taxpayers, it ought not to be-
come law.
The following bills passed the house:
No. "a, reducing jurors fees to 81 per
day and mileage to cents; No. Al,
abolishing Office of lieutenant COVER
nor; No. II. fixing salary Supreme
Court reporter at $500; No. 1874, re-
stricting the sale and manufacture of
dairy products.
The house has also passed a bill
which requires all applicants to pay
81 for the privilege of attending the
county superintendent quarterly
teachers examinations. This imposes
further hardship on the teachers
and prevents advanced pupils from
the benefits of taking the examination
unless they pay 81.
Monday brought to Olympia num-
Der of loggers to look after a scaling
billuintroduced in the house by Rep
resentative Pierson. In general the
Pierson bill provides for state scaler
who, by himself and deputies, shall do
the scaling of all logs sold in the state
1t requires that the 1oggers pay the
scaler cents per thousand. A COM
rnittee of 1oggers consisting of Sol.
Simpson, A. H. Anderson and M. E.
Rreed are now on the ground looking
after the logger's interests. The first
purpose will be to lower the rate to 31z
cents per thousand. This, they think
is ample compensation. In fact 3
cents per thousand is good pay and
responsible deputies can be found who
will do the work at this rate, thus
allowing the one-half cent for the
scaler. The heaviest 1oggers in the
state are here today to look after the
matter and also to see that uniform
scale is adopted and put in practice.
When millmen adopt their own scale
small loggers are placed at dis
advantage and the desire is to have a
scale that will be followed in the scale
Of all logs. The committee having
the bill in charge gave the loggers a
hearing last ght.-Seatt1e Times.

Grape Culture ON Puget Sound.

~ LIZ EDI1Oh. nave given Vic
raising of grapes on Puget Sound a
very close study, and have tested SO
varieties. In that number 1 have
found several that would ripen their
fruit, but were defective either in quail
ity or cluster so as to make them UNI
desirable. Those that / can recon-
mend doing as we'll here as anywhere,
are the Concord, Moore's Early, Della
ware, Niagara and Diamond. The
Diamond with me produces a larger
berry than those shipped to our mar
kets from Eastern Washington. Where
a place has mildew, on uplands, it will
be a disappointment and failure to try
the Delaware, but where free from it,
it grows to perfection and will require
the same number of square feet per
vine as any other variety. 1 received
several new varieties during the fall OF
'96 for testing. l hope to get some
black grapes that will take place OF
the Concord yet there is more money
in the Concord than i'm any other
variety.

Prolific (the rankest excuse for grape
grown) will net as much profit to the
grower as the very finest variety.
know this from experience. My aim
has been and always will be to produce
the very best possible, so I have dis
carded it, and sell nay product to those
who desire and appreciate quality.
An important factor in, producing
first class fruit that is sweet and ad-
heres to the peduncle, is in using
plenty of potash. Our uplands are
generally deficient of this very neces-
sary fertilizer. At this time l am
of the opinion that the Moore's
Early will give as good satisfaction as
any variety. It is early and of good
quality, but requires good, rich soil.
To overcome its light bearing it
should be pruned longer, leaving foul
to eight buds. The Delaware, on the
contrary, should be pruned to not
exceeding two buds, as it is inclined
to oyerbear. Unless handled carefully
until strong vine is secured it will
produce to such an extent as to ruin
itself forever.
Avoid all low or bottom lands and
heavy clay. Deep, rich gravelly loan
it never can be too stony-with an
east or south slope, or high table lands
naturally drained, are the proper
locations for the successful production
of the grape, while the grape will grow
almost anywhere and submit to much
abuse and neglect, the best results car
only be obtained by thorough cultiya
ton. I fail to understand how .oul
people became possessed of the ides
that most luscious of all fruits, th'
grape, could not be successfully
matured here. It certainly shuold b
grown in every garden or yard where
ever room can be found to plant a vine
Giving it sunny exposure and care i
is certain to prove itself satisfaction
and pleasure. A. EcKERT.

The Anderson Island Tragedy.

| The people who reside on Anderson
Steilacoom, are IN ferment of excite.
ment over the terrible double tragedy
which occurred there some time Sunday
evening, and which was discovered
Monday afternoon, as told in yester.
days Ledger.
August W. Lindstorm, A. years old,
who ran a wood yard on the island for
the accommodation Of the boats playiig
up and down the Sound, shot and
killed his six-year-old son and then
shot himself. No reason can be as
signed for the terrible deed and the
entire community is rnystified over
the affair
That Lindstrom planned the killing
is evident, from the fact that Sunday
morning he told his step daughter,
whose duty it was to go over from the
wood yard where the family lived to
the ranch. which they owned, mile
distant, and care for the stock, that he
would go that evening and look after
things and not be back until Monday
morning. The little boy, who was his
own child, and who was constantly in
his company, insisted on going with
him, and the couple started. This
was the last seen of them until the
family, becoming worried over their
prolonged ABSENCE decided that the
three Christensen girls, his step
daug hters, Dora, Christina and Hilda,
should go and see what was the mat
ter. They discovered both dead in the
house, and investigation proves that
the father shot his young son and then
himself.
Lindstrom was postmaster at Ander-
son Island, and worth $4,000 at one
time, but lost nearly all in bad specu-
1ations and law suits. In 1887 he mar
ried Hilda Christensen, widow of
Chris. F. Christensen. and the son who
died by his hand was the result of this
union. Mrs. Lindstrom has living
seven children by her first husband,
two of whom are married; one, Mrs.
Chas. Aares, is reported to be Lying
