assistance from above by one arm,
which, the truth to tell, is little
lame this morning. cannot tell
how we ate our dinner in a sheltered
little dell, how we went still further
up the mountains into the hop
yards, where we saw such tiny
churches in the shelter of the huge
mountains, past lovely grassy
slopes and other places where the
verdure seemed almost tropical, SO
luxuriant was the growth.
But must tell of our return.
Leaving Snoqualmie, at times we
seemed to creep along, so great is
the danger of Earring down great
masses of earth on the rails which
are laid far above the earth on one
side, while on the other lofty hills
rear their crests so high that one
cannot see them at all from the car
windows.
There were signs of relief when
we passed over the last mountain
trestle. Part of the way is along
the shores of Lake Washington.
For alfew miles the road is on the
sound, the roadbed being piers in
the water. These piers have to be
renewed every few months, as they
get completely honey-combed by the
borings of u small insect called
torredos q cannot vouch for the
correctness of the spelling). In the
museum at Victoria we saw sections
of piers which were taken from
Port Townsend completely filed
with holes about one-fourth of an
inch in dia meter.
However, we returned in safety
over these piers. The harbor
presented fine sight The U. S. S.
Wheeling and the revenue cutter
Perry were gay with flags from
stem to stern. Other boats seemed
to have floating every banner and
signal flag in their possession,
Numbers of boats and ships were
there, and 'Old Glory appeared on
them all.

perity of the country, aud who
wish to see those policies con-
tinue will this year vote the Re
publican ticket. The issueofthis
campaign is quite as important
to the state and the country as
that Of 1896. The election Of
Mr.. Mckinley and the passage
of the Dingley law have changed
the sharpest depression with it's
multitude Of failures, its low
prices, its CoXey armies, it's fears
and dismay into active trade,
higher prices, better wages, en-
ployment for every one, conhd-
ence and good times on the farm,
in the workshop and at the mer-
chants counter. TO return to
Washington a Congress hostile
to the Administration would be
to arouse alarm among the peo-
pie, tOthreatena reversal Of these
great policies, to stop expansion
of trade and in large measures to
destroy the great advantages al
ready won. Since Mckinley
came into power the money cir

Mrs. Lake.

Agood sizedaudience turned out
last Monday evening to hear Mrs.
Lake, the we'll known Catholic
temperance lecturer. The court
house was filled to overflowing,
many being able to secure only
standing room. Those who had
the pleasure Of listening to Mrs.
Lake at her meeting here last
March were prepared for the
splendid address which she
made, and those who heard her
for the first time were equally
enthusiastic in praise of the logi-
cal, impressive and convincing
manner in which she presented
the truth of the temperance
cause, appealing to the manhood
and christian character Of the
people to abolish the evil by per
sonalabstinenceand absolute pro-
hibition of the traffic. The
speaker presented facts in an
unbroken chain of logic and elo-
quence that was irresistible. The
man who can listen to her appeal
an then deliberately, without
some degree of shame 60 and
fasten the saloon curse upon the
community has but little of the
fear of God or the love of man in
his makeup.

To those republicans who con
template voting for some populist
on state or county matters, we
wish to present a few facts for
their consideration, that they may
understand we'll what they are
doing. In most Of the cases
where this may be done it will be
because the voter happens to be
personally acquainted and friend
~ with the populist candidate,
aud the voter excuses himself
by pleading this friendship for
his breach of faith to his party.
There is not place on the ticket
where the defeating of the regu-
lar republican nominee will not
rebound TO the building up Of the
populist party and the tearing
down of the republican party in
the county. The election of any
one of the populist legislators
from this county, or populist can.
didates for Judge, superintend-
ent of schools, sheriff or clerk of
courts, will be regarded as a pop
victory worth celebrating. Is
there a republican who wants to
be at this celebration? If SO,
just think what a delightful time
you will have surrounded by your
political opponents and receiving
their congratulations for the as
sistance you have given them.
There is not case in the whole
ballot where superior qualifica-
tions on the part Of the populist
candidate can be honestly urged,
but in most of the cases there is
an overwhelming advantage as to
qualification On the side of the re-
publican candidate. He is . poor
soldier who aims to pick off one
or two of his own army while fir
ing at the enemy. Don't you do
it, boys.
