JAMES w. DIVILBISS.

Washington state journalism lost one Of
its bright lights Yesterday morning when
the lamp OF life went out in the breast OF
James. w. Divilbiss, of the Montesano
Vidette. His was a noble, generous
character which, though cut off in early
manhood, will leave an impulse for good
within those who knew him best. He
came to Montcsano about fifteen years
ago and established the Vidette, to which
he devoted all his energy, making it the
model weekly paper Of the state, perfect
sample Of clean journalism.
The real cause of his death was over
work, that which kills many an amb-
tious man. Through inability to secure
help in his Rossland office last winter
came the opportunity which paved the
way for the fever and grip which settled
into consumption. a trip to California
proved unavailing and he was sent home
to die. How he strove to live would not
give up; there seemed SO much for him
yet to do ; determinedly he fought the
disease, STAYED off the summons by his
will for months, but at last death won,
and he passed over to the reward which
his faith in the blood of Jesus Christ Sc
cured to him. The world is better for
his having lived.

canvas stretched, they rolled about in
| trough of the seas to the wild will OF the
storm. A springstay broke and other
tackle gave way till spars whipped about
the masts like pipestems dangling to a
string. This treatment at the hands OF
nature was somewhat severe, but it only
made them feel that much better when
they did get ashore, so they now have
an experience to relate to their grand
children. Twenty-three passengers were
brought down from St. Michael, eight
being from Dawson, and the rest being
disappointed Klondikers, who failed to
reach their goal this season. Three or
four were eX-members Of the now famous
Eliza Anderson expedition. All OF the
miners had money, some having as much
seven or eight thousand dollars, and one
bright yellow nugget about two or three
inches long and quarter of an inch
thick, valued at seventy.ive dollars, was
passed around among the crowd Of by
ISLANDERS for few moments to sort of
clearly, us it were, the fading eycsight of
the lhrong. Those of them who have
had experience report favorably of the
gold bearing qualities of the ice bound
country.

"Some of the mill companies on the

their own paper three per cent. and give
him check on a San Francisco bank for
this money, and when he taxes the
checks to one Of the banks OH the harbor

Fine weather for Ianchers.

Fine weather for Ianchers.
Archie Murray and Roy Young are
among the crew now employed at the
camp OF Rod Murray.
The crop of carrots is not as good as
last year; the potato crop also falls tar
short, and cabbage is only 45c per hum
dred pounds.
Bears are very numerous in these parts.
Mr. Sparkling, with his two hounds, is
likely to kill as many in reality as the
reports claim for "Bear Hunter" Smith.
Messrs. Frank and Clyde Armstrong,
Of the Wynooche, were visitors here last
Sunday. They report Il short crop OF
potatoes, caused chiefly by the black or
wet rot.
The gold bugs claim the credit for tn c
failure of the wheat crop in foreign
countries, but the wicked silverites are
the cruel cause Of the shortage here, and
the low price of products.
BY the number OF weddings recorded,
one would imagine that tax had been
imposed on old bachelors, or else a con-
jugal mania had suddenly seized all our
single people; we noticed some Of our old
bachelors acting strange of late.
Rod Murray has one OF the finest
engines in the county; he has good
crew of men. and is trying to decoy old
Prosperity INTO our county; the merry
song of the steam whistle may allure
men home to their "chuck "-but Pros
perity is still in the dim distance, and re-
fuses to he landed by an exclusive golden
bait.
Until last election this county has been
run on strictly partisan principles. The
present county incumbents were elected
by the fusion of two parties closely allied
by national platforms. When these Off
sials, so elected, turn from those who
only through great effort and untirine
zeal in behalf of reform, placed in their
hands the reins of county affairs, we say
when they turn from their supporters
and pray and petition for republican tc
be placed IN an office OF trust and worth
OF some responsibility and greater re-
Enumeration, then these incumbents must
expect to be called on to explain matters
ere they can have the suffrage of the same
people again. And right here let it be
said that there is already cry OF Ego il
alone" keep in the middle of the road,
etc. The democrats or populists can
neither win in IL three sided fight; every
sensible person knows this. Republicans
realize it and will exert all their powers
and exhaust all their resources to accom-
plish what will make theirs the winning
hand; break the fusion and good feeling
now existing in our ranks and defeat il
certain. If there is break in our ranks
republican money will cause it; if any O
our old leaders raise cry against fusion
be sure they are affiiating with our com
mon enemy and for monetary consider
alton.

dying out.
On Tuesday evening, Oct. 10, Mrs. l.
b. Cooper was very pleasantly surprised
by large number of friends who went
in to spend the evening in honor of her
birthday. Many useful and beautiful
presents were received, refreshments
were served and all spent very enjoy
able evening.
The ladies Of the Baptist church gave a
very delectable chicken pie supper, Sat-
urday evening. The steady infowing
stream OF long, lean, lank and hungry
visages and the same outfowing stream
Of plump, rounded and happy counten-
ances testified fully to the clownlng sue
cess of the affair, and one could not tell
for his life whether the marked change
was due to the careful attention of the
pretty dining room girls; to the chicken
pie, or to the pumpkin pie. Twenty.seven
dollars were netted-a very neat little
sum.
A handsome new milk delivery wagon,

in leather, with plate glass sliding doors.
1t will be the prettiest object on wheels,

Anent the proposed shutting down of
the lumber mills during the winter for
the purpose of maintaining prices, over
which the Seattle Trade Register and the
HERALD have exchanged views, the
Register says the nece ssity exists because
OF cessation of building operations in the
east. While by far the largest part OF
the lumber cut Of the state of Washing
ton is consumed at home, shipped to
California, or foreign to countries not af-
fected by winter, yet this may be more
true in some parts of the state than others,
and the two papers doubtless viewed the
situation according to the conditions ex-
listing in their respective localities. Proba-
bly, eighty per cent. of the Gray's harbor
lumber cut goes to markets unaffected by
climatic conditions. The mills are all
running on full time, and the only mill
making a specially of eastern trade is
running day and night, Under these
conditions a shut down for the purpose of
maintaining prices could only mean an
attempt to artificially raise prices, which
would result in the long run in loss to
both employer and employee. Some of
the mills OH the Sound depending alto
gether upon the rail trade, and not hav-
ing the ,ustling procliv:ies of G. +.

bal Paper of the City OF Aberdeen.
ST OF PRODUCING GOLD AND
SILVER.

much has been written and said
ut "fifty cent dollar" "bonus to
silver mine owner" ETC., that short
lime is pertinent of an article by John
Vaughn on "The Comparative Cost Of
ii and Silver Production" which APP
RS in the September number OF Money,
non-partisan journal. Mr.. Vaughn
ms with reference to the recent dis
Jerry of gold in Alaska, and continues !:
is claimed by those who advance
uments in favor of mono.metallc
ndard based on gold, that it possesses
inherent value given it by the ex-
hinges OF the world-that it costs dollar
dollar in its production, thus making
itself Il value guage.
NEARLY all OF the best known and
Pst productive sources of supply OF gold
in active operation. A majority OF
I'm, here cited, have been exploited to
extent which enables a comparatively
curate estimate Of the prospective total
bids. Varying conditions in the differ
i gold fields may make comparison
hnewhat difficult, yet analyses of the
st and yield in securing and treating
les in some of the more noted mining
stricts reveal results which show that
bld mining is far more profitable and
britain to the miner than was the min
|g Of silver"
The following are some of the instances
ted: The Rand, Barton and Albion
Zine at Ballarat, Australia, with its hum
red miles Of tunnels, produces gold at
Pst of 40 cents on the dollar. In the
|ransvaal it does not exceed sixty cents.
he gold mines OF Siberia produce gold at
Eo-thirds the cost in the Kafiir fields.
The Mount Morgan and FL Callao proper
les in Venezuela, with record of over
30, 900, 900, average 80 per ton, the ex-
ense OF mining being about S13. The
|readwell mine, on Douglas Island,
|laska, with the largest battery of stamps
existence, mines and mills its ores at
total expense Of $l.12 per ton, which
ield profit of $40, or cost of forty
ents on the dollar. The Tom Boy in
|olorada averages $35 to the ton, all but
Of which is profit.
Referring to the cost OF silver Mr..
|aughn puts the matter in a nutshell in
be following paragraph: ''The present
rice Of silver practically tells the cost at
|hich that metal can be proftably mined
HESS as by-product. One after another
be silver mines of the North American
ointment have been closed down since
liver dropped below 80 cents an ounce.
i the present time there are not half IA
pzen mines on the Rocky Mountain
lnges north OF the Mexican line produc-
lg silver as the sole metal"
If there is any reason for disseminating
&c coinage OF silver it certainly is not
pcause of the comparative cost OF pro-
ncing the two metals, gold and silver.
he facts shown above indicate very con-
usively that the real motive back of the
esire for disseminating coinage of silver
the desire to limit the amount OF money
redemption. A careful study OF the
nestion ought to convince most men in
me that this is the issue.

II Brother Carney will put on his spec
tacles and read the HERALD's article on
County Funds again he will see that it
did not state that road funds could be
transferred from one district to another,
or that there was any authority for so
doing. What it did say was that the
records showed, and they do, that such
transfers had been done, and intimated
that If the commissioners wanted to do
so again road district No. 10 could use
some Of the funds.

One of the reasons assigned by the In
dian government for declining to assent
to reopen the minis of that country,
states the fears of the gold bugs in a nut
shell. 1t was: "For il the Indian mints
are reopened to silver now, it will be
practically impossible for the govern
ment to ever close them" And so it
would be everywhere. Plotting by past
experience public sentiment would never
consent to again repeat the folly of mono
metallism. The government Of India
being English reflects the views of Great
Britain.
