Jones came home from college to
spend his summer vacation. He had
been studying hard. but occasionally
participated in the usual athletics
practiced among the bows who at

abandoned all social intercourse.
While at home he was conspicuous

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON FRIDAY EVENING" AUG 49, 1885,

from Detroit to Chickaniauga by COM
peting companies $729, yet those in
the favored circle were able to raise it to
$l2 through the "pull," shut ont
competitors, and, with influence in
the Government, force the officers of
the administration to accept their
rates and pay this amount. This, we
are told, is patriotism, and that Il man
who speaks out against this robbery is
II traitor; and that man who criti-
cises this infamy at time when the
men are being transported like sheep
and cattle, sleeping in box-cars, hud-
died on side tracks, and hungry, no
provision being made for their COM
fort by these institutions, is criticising
the Government in the hour of
patriotism" God forbid this SLAM
der"
Representative Lewis sweeps down
the line with many more charges af-
fecting the contracts for uniforms,
clothes and food; touching on "the
coal trust-its aid to the enemy" and
finally declaring that "the financial
and moneyed institutions refuse to
pay the tax" A brilliant pcroration,
with that majestic command of Ian
guage that his colleagues in the house
are accustomed to, concludes his
campaign effort. "Stand upon the
declared principles of honesty" he
eXhorts: BE not swerved by the
mock cries of patriotism, but in an
hour like this, when justice is de-
manded in behalf of the loyal and
patriotic, for the dead and the dying.
let us adopt as creed that text of
Gen. Grant, and cry out, Let no
guilty man escape"
All in all, the speech is one of the
grandest to contemplate in black and
white that Representative Lewis has
ever favored Washington with.

Accepting Brides.
Walla Walla Statesman.
Mr.. G. w. Whitehouse has just re-
ceived letter from ID. J. Crimmins
dated Dawson, June 18th. Mr.. Grim
Minis letter confirms the many other
letters lately received from the North
west Territory and Alaska in this great
klondike rush being the greatest
fraud that has ever been known. His
stay in Dawson City has given him
an accurate knowledge of the value of
that country and this is the way he
delineates it:
"At Eldorado the returns arc rich
but not near up to the expectations.
Bonanza creek from discovery up to
claim number eleven and from num-
ber two below the mouth of the
river didn't pay wages, and what was
left, which can be seen was q very
small territory, paid just fair. Hunker
creek was no good. Dominion creek
is claimed to be rich but those work
ing refuse to tell how much they are
making and what makes it more sus-
picious there is no excuse for not do
ing great deal of work for men are
plentiful. There evidently is great
attempt to boom this creek order
to sell the claims at fabulous prices,
but the attempt is not very successful.
Sulphur creek is no good but the
boomers are trying to work it also.
All of the other creeks are an entire
failure. There were no strikes made
at all last winter. All kinds of
schemes are being worked to swindle
the people out of their money. Or
ganizing stock companies and selling
shares is favorite scheme to catch
their victims. The officials stand
with their hands open behind them
and until you see those hands crap
the filthy lucre' you need not expect
any information, and then what you
get must be taken with a grain of
salt"
A letter addressed to Mr.. Crimmins
last October just reached him day
or two before he dispatched his letter,
which shows the poor facilities for the
mail service.
Fred Johnson who used to work for
1saacs in this city had just arrived in
Dawson and had very hard luck, one
of his feet being so badly frozen that
the toes came off.
The vanguard of new comers had
just begun to arrive and though the
number was very large he was told
that it was insignificant as compared
with what remained.
Mr.. Crimmins states that he intends
to do down into Alaska if he did not
get some good ground soon, and that
perhaps he would be back to Walla
Walla in the fall. The other boys,
Will Turpin, David Stokes, Bob Wolf
and Frank Villa, were at Eagle City.
Mr.. Crimmins congratulates Mr..
johnson and Mr.. Group on selling
their layout as it did not pay the pu-
chasers for the cabin that was built on
| it.
He warns people about the stories of
the wealth brought from Klondike as
every million really brought out is
magnified to ten millions by the news
papers.

GENERAL MERRITT reports that if we
are to hold Manila only it will require
10000 men. If we are to take and
hold the island of Luzon, of which
Manila forms part, it will necessitate
100000 men, while to govern the en-
tire Philippine group not less than
10000 men will be needed.

Hats or in Porto Rico,

The reception of the American army
in Porto Rico continues in an ooh, be
Joyful way. From Guayama, a town
where the Spanish were said to be
gathering and intrenching, the peo.
pie sent word to Ponce that all the
Spaniards had gone and the populace
were waiting to receive the Americans.
One company of troops was sent there
and had big reception. The American
flag had already been hoisted and
everybody gathered around it. When
the soldiers came the people sang the
"Star-Spangled Banner" in mixture
OF Spanish and English.
At Ponce every time the band plays
the "Star.Spangled Banner" the
police run about and make every
body remove his hat.
From ten miles in the interior it
was reported that a large Spanish
force had gathered. General Ernst
sent two companies of soldiers to see.
They met party of Spanish soldiers
on the outskirts of the town, loaded
down with guns and swords. When
the Spaniards caught sight of our men
they yelled "Don't shootw and ran
towards the Americans. They said
they were coming in to surrender and
give up their arms. The PARTY was
small, but they had arms enough for
a regiment. Our soldiers sent them
on to Ponce with instructions to re-
port to General Wilson and give up
their arms. They obeyed and signed
a parole.
