Death Of G. G. Angle.

A dispatch received by the Editor
from Portland, Oregon. last week gave
news of the sudden death of his father,
Corydon Curtis Angle, at Sylvan, a
suburb of that city, on February 18th,
Of heart failure. Deceased was born
IN Delaware County, N. Y. IS years
ago, and his early life was spent in
various positions on the ferry boats in
New York and Jersey City,: In 1865
he came across the Isthmus and settled
in California, followed a few years
later by his family. For the past fif-
teen years he has made Portland his
home, except for several years spent
with his son in Shelton, and in Olym-
pia, his health always having been
better in Oregon. Most of his later
years have been engaged in the min
ing fields of Arizona, California and
Oregon, the lonely but hopeful life OF
the prospector having its usual charms.
The funeral was held from Holm ian s
OhOCi L al IOI l. Rl6 luO1 ILL
the services being conducted by Rev.
H. w. Kellogg, pastor of the Taylor
Street, First M. E, Church; and the re-
mains were temporarily uttered in
the City cemetery at East Portland,
eventually to be placed beside those OF
his wife who died in Anaheim, Los
Angeles County, Cal, in 1872.
The announcement Of the death was
a great shock, both to us; as we'll as to
the friends of the deceased in Portland,
neither having any intimation of even
temporary illness. The first reports
appearing in the morning papers were
considerably garbled. We desire to
thank friends in Portland for their as
sistance in the funeral arrangements
and for kindly sympathy

Cold Weather is Needed.

County Fruit Inspector P. w. Ton
neson reports that unless cold weather
continues for time the prospects for
the fruit crop of the coming year will
be seriously impaired. Up the Puya1-
lup Valley, where he has been during
the past week, the blossoms are almost
coming out On the trees. This is es-
pecially noticeable among early yarie-
ties of pears, cherries and apples. A
little more warm weather would bring
them out in full bloom. It is certain
there will be heavy frosts yet, which
would bring destruction to the early
fruits
The effects of the severe frosts of
two years ago last November are still
noticeable among the younger or
chards. In many cases the trunks
were frozen half way around extend
ing from the ground to the limbs,
which now leaves driedup half scar
exposed, while the other half and
sometimes only one-third is left to
support the tree. In most instances
where complaints have come in about
diseased trees, such as dead spots.
dead strips on trunks and limbs Of
trees, the cause is usually attributed
directly or indirectly to this severe
frost.
Mr.. Tonneson is urging the winter
spray at this time among the farmers.
He states that number of the old or
chardists, whose orchards haye been
neglected for years. are now pruning
and spraying. In most cases people
are willing to clean up their orchards
but in lew cases the law may be in
voked as an assistant.-Ledger.

ses..-' -, HOOD CANAL, Feb. D, 1898.
Thedollowing expect to go to Alaska
soon;:John Clements, Henry Clements
and William Warren of Brinnon: Carl
.Stebbins of Hoodsport; Paul Johnson
oYcione Johnson, L. Hagen and
brother and William Van Alderwold
OF Clifton and some others. The boom
a few years ago brought many people
TO the canal, who, since the hard times
began have found It very hard work
to make living. In the main but
three occupations haye been open to
them, farming, logging and fishing
While there are many small ranches
yet only about a dozen of them are
large enough to support a family.
Iheselare chiefly at Brinnon, Clifton
and 1.-THE Tahooya, Dewatto and
okokoniish river. Nearly all those
who have tried to live by fishing have
grown poor, and the pay in the lc gging
camps has been too small to support a
family, a number of those who have
worked in the camps, having either
failed to" get their wages, or lost a
good share of them in time and travel
ling expense while collecting them.
But they have stayed on the Canal be-
cause they could see no place where
they .cpnld do better. Since, however.
the prospects have opened as they have
in Alaska, they have been quite will
ing to try their fortunes there.
A. r. Burt moved his camp from
Riverside to Brinnon last Saturday.
The steamer Nellie towed everything
down except the horses, which were
taken down by land.
r. Wyatt launched his schooner at
Holly last Wednesday. It was named
the Ellen w. in honor of Mrs. Wyatt.
j. E. Youngblood of the reservation
went to Holly last Friday to see about
the manufacture of his new patent
can-openers. He has made arrange
ments with John Anderson of that
place to make them, who has about
finished fume there for that purpose.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets indam-
ed you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infianed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure Send for circulars,
