day from his placer claims opposite

discarded fire engine and brought it
out to pump water from the river to
his mining ground. He says the
engine works admirably, and that
it consumes only a small wagon
load of sage brush every day of ten
hours work. Attached to the en-
CINE is a long hose with pipe and
nozzle that beats the world for strip
ping the top of the ground off to the
pay streak. After stripping the
nozzle is removed and the hose
placed at theupper end of the sluices
and the engine furnishes a steady
stream of water for running through
the pay dirt. Mr.. Perry says his
engine is a dandy and just the thing
needed in placer mining along the
Snake.

Everett Turner and Dan Glenn, by
some means procured a toy canon
and a half-pound can ofpowder, and
proceeded along the railroad track

limits for the purpose of fighting

expressed it. They built a small
fire of sagebrush and loaded their
canon for the engagement, thought
lessly placing the powder can In
close proximity to the fire. While
the head gunner was attempting to
fire the canon the powder can ex-
ploded and it Is miracle that the
children were not instantly killed.
Fortunately, however, none of them
were dangerously hurt. They inn
mediately abandoned the works and
retreated home for medical aid.
Charlie Burns was the most serious
ly wounded, having his face and
hands badly burnt; Billy Glenn
had one of his hands scorched and
Everett Turner's hair was closely
singed, while little Dan Glenn es-
capped unhurt. How these child
rem all escaped being hit by pieces
of the exploded can is unaccount-
able. The occurrence should be a
lesson to them as well as to all
other patriotic boys and their
parents.

Fine Prospects for Loggers.

IF logging is good, it will be bet
ter" says Thomas Bordeaux, the
Shelton lumberman, who was at the
Donnelly yesterday. 81 should be
sorry to see anything in the nature OF
boom, but certainly believe that the
demand for lumber will increase
rapidly for some time yet. owing to the
improvements going on IN all lines at
home and abroad.
THE loggers have been somewhat
handicapped by the scarcity of men
this fall although they are beginning
to return from the harvest fields now,
1t has been almost impossible to get
competent woodsman, and even ordi-
nary laborers have been pretty indie
pendent. Wages are considerably
higher.
"There is no danger OF exhaustfng
the timber around Shelton for great
many years. We have worked in
about fifteen miles from the coast now
and there are still fifty miles of timber
quite as good before us. 1t. is nearly

Cushman's Meeting

Cushman's meeting Tuesday night
was a success, and the hall was COM
fortably filled, although in the middle
of the week. The speaker was intro
duced In few brief remarks by Prof.
Gunderson, and spoke for ~ hours,
claiming the attention of his audience.
SO that not a single person got tired
enough to leave the hall. His address
throughout was moderate and pleasing,
his points were many, and made so
plain that any one might understand,
often followed by witty point which
brought down the house." in fact, he
had the audience with him from the
first.
He raised storm of applause by re-
ferring to the Democratic exodus. -
which he met going to Kamilche. The
quartet consisting of Messrs. Webb,
Emmott, Will Hunter and Chas. Nor
ton, sang several splendid campaign
songs and Miss Cecil Dunbar presided
at the piano.

Lewis. and criticising his alleged work
In congress, the speaker did not
"abuse" him to any extent, consider
ing Lewis is on the defensive. Con-
trary to expectations Cushman did not
abuse any of the opposing factions,
and IN our judgment, his speech took
well. Of course some of our friends
say he didn't say anything, but how
many OF them would haye stayed if he
had given them long dry harangue
on silver? AS it was he explained the
position of the Republican party
thoroughly, stuck to facts, out in a
pleasing and witty way, and added to
his vote from those who heard both

ANOTHER instance of poor judgment
in the democratic members of the
present board of commissioners aside
from the loss on the N. P. tax settle
ment) is the Matlock saloon case. In
that, the county was stuck for several
hundred dollars in costs and board
bill, while one man served six
months sentence, and another man
lost $1,000, all because they were en-
couraged to go ahead by promise o.
license, over S. G. Simpsons object
ions, which prevailed IN the end
Messrs. Daniels and Werman won't
promise Mat they can't fulfill.
WHEN Mr.. Covill asks you to vote
for HIM as an old soldier, ask him il
he voted for Doolittle, who secured
nice pension for him, or will vote for
Daniels. He is not likely to get any
G. A. r. votes around here, except his
own. AS former superintendent on
the railroad be is known to many old
time laborers.
THERE isn't man of more sterling
honesty in Mason County than Bert
Eaton, and his ability to perform the
duties and undertake the responsible
ties Of that Office himself, Is unques-
toned. Those who have ever done
business with him, speak highly Of
these qualifications. A vote for Eaton
is vote on the safe side.

A Word to Voters.

Voters of Mason County. Do not
vote for any candidate for office who
is financially or otherwise tied up to
corporations. because they might have
strings on them after election. We
have had an experience of this in the
last two years. Then also see that the
board of Commissioners are free men.
who Will stand firm and solid for the
majority of the people and against any
single-individua1 influence, men who
will not give as an excuse that their
bread and butter depended on their
actions IN public matters. Werman
and Daniels are perfectly safe, but
both must be elected, for majority.

An Address to
Populists and Silver Republicans
SHELTON, Oct. 2Sth, 1898.


We the undersigned members of the
Peoples Party and Silver Republican
party take this means to notify the
reform voters of Mason County, that
the Democrats are disappearing
the Populists by blaming them because
fusion was not affected. Now the
facts are these: The Democrats are
wholly to blame and no one but them.
For the reason that they did not hon
estly try to get fusion in any form.
The Peoples Party convention was
notified by a Democratic committee
that they wanted NO further negotia-
tions with them, before they knew
whether the Popullsts would give them
everything they demanded or not.
"That is" they never gave the Popu-
lists and Silver Republicans a chance
to fuse with them on any terms. These
are facts they ca mot honestly deny.
And further 1t is evident that the
Democratic convention was controlled
by men and their ticket is composed
of men that are outspoken against flu
sion. And therefore they must be
classed as Cleveland Democrats.
Surely they are of different class
than VIM. j. Bryan, James Hamilton
Lewis, w. G. Jones, or our nominees
for the Supreme bench who are not
against but very much for fusion. M.
Fredson, who heads their ticket, says
he does not want to stand on "three-
legged STOOL and condemns anyone
but democrat, and their ticket is
composed largely of men of this kind.
So we are forced to arrive at these con-
illusions.
If the Democrats can conduct them
selves on these lines and elect their
ticket the Populist and Silver Repub-
lican organizations in Mason County
are dead. Therefore we propose to
vote the Peoples Party state ticket
and in self defense to vote the Repub-
lican County ticket, so as to be doubly
sure to save the reform organizations
in this county from falling into the
control OF INSCRIPTIONS Cleveland
politicians. And we further advise
the Bryan Democrats, Silver Republi-
cans and Popuiist voters, If they be-
lieve these statements to be true, to do
the same (Signed,)

Auditors annual report
AS you are aware, the auditor, Mr. Dunbar,
has for long time been too i'll to attend person

possible from such sources as came most readily

more essential. Mr.. Covill has today called my
attention to an error in tabulating by which
make the report show the General County Fund

component parts making up the same fund,
thus almost doubling the actual amount of the
fund shown to be on hand.

at once set you right upon this point.
