West Sullivan Boy at Kloneibe

WEST SULLIVAN, Jan. Is Especial Ell
mer E. Ash, oldest son OF Simeon and
Nancy Ash, OF West Sullivan, left his
home when little more than a boy to seek
his fortune. He married and settled at
Cascade Docks, Oregon, where he has
since been ngaged in the salmon fishery.
Coming home to visit his parents a year
ago, he proved to have grown into stall
wart and well-to-do young man who still
retained his bold and venturous spirit.
His friends were not surprised when he
put his affairs in order and started for
Klondike on the drst OF last August.
His party had fair passage, and after
visiting the gold regions and buying
two claims he returned home, coming

A single transaction involving the
transfer of S2O,0O0,00O in exchange
for 4,0OO,OO long tons of iron ore to
be sent to England calls attention to
the evident conclusion reached by
manufacturers in that country that
they cannot longer compete with the
United States in the matter of iron
manufacture so long as they are de-
pendent upon their own mines. just
what the effect of this new move will
be is not known. The scale of Eng
lish wages is lower than our own, but
or the other hand the cost of trans
portation of the raw material is to be
considered. In any event, this action
on the part of the British manufac-
turers will stimulate our mines and
also the manufacture of iron in the
southern states for export.

1t has always been claimed by the
free trade theorists that it is absurd
for people in the United States to
think to establish a fax industry.
We never have had fax industry
and we never would have one so long
as we went on the theory that indus
tries should be established before any
thought should be taken towards pro-
tecting them. The Dingley duty on
fax, however, has brought forth the
fact, as the Mckinley duty on tin did
likewise, that we can produce our
own fax as we'll as our own tin plate.
A ton of fax straw which was grown
on the rich land of Washington has
been sent as sample to Ireland and
it has been found that it is worth $50
more per ton than the average Irish
product.

An Ellsworth cat made fatal mistake
Monday night. The thermometer was
far below zero, and when pussy found
the entrance OF the cold-air duct to the
furnace in DIR. A. c. Hagerthy's house,
she thought it offered a refuge from the
wintry blasts. The warmth from the
furnace lured her further and further in
until she reached the end of the duct and
jumped to the hot drum OF the furnace.
Then, too late, poor pussy realized her
mistake. Her cries Of agony aroused the
family, but the cat could not be reached.
Her cries grew fainter and fainter, until
finally they ceased. In the morning, with
considerable difficulty, the charred re-
mains were taken from the furnace. The
legs were burned to crisp. Standing on
that hot drum, slowly roasting to death,
that cat must have suffered all the agony
it is possible for dumb beast to suffer.

Director Preston of the United

mined throughout the world during
the year just passed has been $780,
900, 900, or an increase of about 20
per cent. over last year. The in
dications are that in 1898 this amount
will be still further increased. In
view, therefore, of the fact that the
population of the world increases
only about per cent. per annum, no
alarm need be felt that the increase
in money will not keep pace with the
increase in population.
