Lee Williams and A. Walker, of
Portland, were in town yesterday
trying 10 settle the Abbey house

returned in the evening and Mr..
Walker departed for Portland this
morning, leaving the matter still
unsettled.
John Forgarty, who has been a
member of the Yaquina life saving
crew since its creation, will sever
his connection, with that body of
Uncle Sans servants it is reported
this week. THE LEADER is not
informed as to his future intentions
but wish him Success whatever they
may be.
A party of Newportites, consist
ing of A. H. Hampton, John Stimp-
son and Charles Wlnant, came up
Wednesday in a skiff to do business
among our county officers Winant
had few purchases to make, but
that is sub rosa, Sheriff Ross re-
turned in the evening with them to
serve papers on South Beach.
John Nye, who has lived 26
years on his farm between this
place and Newport, is in town today.
He is enroute to Los Angeles
county, California, where he will
remain about year for the benefit
of his health. The LEADER will
visit him during that time and keep
him alive to development of this
section.
A Leroy, one of the high officers
of the Odd Fellows lodge of Oregon,
lectured here last night. His COM
ing was unheralded and but few
turned out. This sort of work
gives our town a very black eye
and the local members of this order
are largely to blame. A little
music and a good crowd would
have sent Mr.. Leroy away from
here with very different feeling
toward our people than the one now
existing.

A NEW explosive, discovered by John

sesses so many points of superiority

simply turn war into massacre" says
an eminent war officer. 1t has a
greater velocity and carrying force, is
smokeless, may be used in any kind OF
gun, may be rammed without danger
of explosion, a requisite in shell-fill-
ing and its use does not produce erosion
of the gun as all other powders do.
It possesses many other merits of less
value, but which seem to place it in
the lead of all other explosives. Mr..
K, last May, took out a patent in this
country to protect his discovery, as
we'll as in Russia, Germany and Eng

Under instructions lately received
from Washington, ID. c.. Captain w.
W. Robinson. Jr., of the quartermas-
ter's department, advertises for bids
for the construction of an additional
barracks building in connection with
the Notifications buildings now going
on at the entrance to Puget Sound, at
Port Townsend. The new building is
to be erected on Admiralty point,
which is to be known as Fort Casey.
IT. is three miles distant from the site
OF Fort Flagler and an equal distance
from the new artillery Notifications at
what will hereafter be known as Fort
Wilson. The distance between Forts
Flagler and Wilson is such that a line
connecting the three military strategic
sites would form triangle.
But for his feetness of foot and
presence of mind in times of great
danger, Gid Frazier, one of the most
popular story tellers of all Tacoma's
old-timers, would not now be alive and
we'll to greet his friends. He met
with an adventure just at shutdown
lately that came near turning his
hair white. He went out grouse-hunt-
ing from the camp where his family
and Judge CAROLS family are sum-
merng Mt Henderson Bay, and after
an all days hunt through the wet I'M
derbrush he came to deserted cabin,
just at nightfall. As an usually heavy
rain was just setting in he made for
the hut for shelter. Scarcely had he
entered the door than his hair stood
mp and the creeping chills ran up and
down his bones as he heard a snort
and saw two eyes cleaning at him out
Of a dark corner, with two pair more,
evidently half grown ones, close beside
them. Transfixed with fright he
thought he had run upon an old bear
with her cubs as he could see three
black objects dimly Swallowed about
the glowing eyes, when with a wild
rush the three made for him. Just at
this moment he recovered from the
shock of horror that had transfixed
him to the spot and made wild dash
out of the door, closely pursued by the
animals, which instead of being black
bears were three OF the terrible avis
aries niger which were often met with
in the early days of the Hudson Bay
company, but are now very seldom
seen.

OF course this representation of
" Fame" was trotted out for the enter
tainment of the visitors. They offered
to buy the quadruped, but this was, of
course. impossible from Uncle Sans
red-tape rules. They then bargained
for the shoes on the historic mules
feet, and were successful, and each
came home with q historic emblem of
good luck in his coat pocket, with
which to adorn the officers quarters,
and upon which to spin yarns OF the
daring of our troops in Cuba.

" What's In a Name?"

Anent the cruiser Olympia tablet
now on exhibition, just word. WHY
do those critics so persistently call the
beautiful figure SO gracefully self-poised
on the globe, Victory" Surely they
know the difference. Ii this represents
that goddess then indeed are their com.
lnents and criticisms just, but if it is
Fame then we would have them &C
and look again--study the quiet grace OF
the pose"
These are the words with which
" An Admirer OF the Olympia Tablet
returns to the charge in Sundays is,
sue OF that paper, after having tacitly
admitted that Victory" was the sub.
ject represented. In Munsey for the
current month, very creditable au-
thosity it must be admitted, a fine
half'tone of the tablet appears and in
the letter-press description OF it, the
figure is referred to as Victory" and
nobody has called it by any other
name until the sccond-thought sug-
gestion of its valiant champion in this
city came to the rescue of what he
styles and insists upon calling a fine
work of art.
1t was announced that the tablet
was to be made by "the eminent
sculptor Daniel C. French" but it
seems that it is the work of a young
artist named Paul Winter Morris, a
pupil of French. BY just what Peck
sniffian process the work was trans
ferred to other hands, is not stated,
but it may be that it is owing to this
breach Of contract that the people are
in doubt as to whether they have
bought Victory or Fame, and that the
tablet has to have so many testimonials
to establish its merits.
AS goodwill offering doubtless the
tablet will serve its purpose. 1t cost
enough to constitute very safe basis
of regard, and doubtless when placed
on the warship's turret, will like pic
ture, be relieved to some extent of
challenging admiration by its splendid
framework. Let it 60 at that. What
has been said was spoken with candor
and is the unbiased opinion OF people
who possess as keen an appreciation of
the noble, the beautiful and the exalt.
ed as those who from their calling and
environments seem to think they en-
JOY a monopoly of refinement and are
the only reliable aids to popular judg.
ment.

that it is "our friend the enemy" who

most the same breath he will, however,

own party for the delay in riveting the

Primitive Method Of Shaping Canoes

\ writer who appends the name OF
Charles Milton Buchanan to anar-
ticlc in Sundays P.-L, which is very
readable description OF the making Of
Indian canoes on Puget Sound, is sin
gularly deficient in one important de-
tail OF construction. The manner OF
following and shaping the cedar log,
and the tools used by the skilled dus-
py-yuk is, in the main, as correct as
could bc given by fairly intelligent
English-speaking Siwash, but the wri-
ter wholly ignores the method of
spreading the sides, which give both
capacity to the craft and grace to the
model. Among other details the wri-
ter says, "After the completion OF the
canoe, it is spread and braced by
several thwarts, or cross-pieces" and
then the reader is left in utter dark
ness as to the most important and
vital detail of the whole work. The
writer does not attempt to give an ex-
PLANTATION OF how the spreading is &C.
complished, leaving the reader to infer
that the sides Of the new-made craft
are distended by some mechanical
force to the required width of beam
and then held in place by the introduce
ton OF the thwarts. Nowevery pioneer
knows as we'll as the Indian artifcer
that the slightest spreading OF the
walls OF the canoe as it comes from the
tools OF its maker, would be very likely
to split the frail shell from end to end.
1t is simply fragile skin of cedar,
the softest of woods, which the strength
OF one man could demolish by either
inward or outward pressure as easily
as child could crush an egg-shell in
Its hand. How then is the frail struc-
ture to be spread without splitting, so
that its maximum width OF beam may
be twice or thrice the diameter of the
original log? Here is mystery to the
average white man. 1t is as simple a
problem as making an egg stand on end
was to Columbus to the self.taught
dns-py-yuk and by far the easiest part
This job. He simply sat his little craft
evenly upright and filled it with wa
ter. He then built a roaring fire
alongside of it, and after heating a few
"nigger-head" stones red-hot he threw
them into the canoe and soon found
the water brought to q vigorous boil.
This boiling process was kept up with
renewed supplies of water till the
walls of the little hull were completely
saturated with scslding hot water,
when 10, the woody tissue is as soft
and pliable as sole leather. The sides
OF the canoe can now be spread and
fastened to any reasonable extent
without danger of splitting. All that
accomplished, the hot water was not
emptied, but left to gradually cool, and
was then removed. Now the P.-L.
writer may say, after reading our
addendum, swell, that's just what 1
was going to say, If I had thought of
it." But be did not think of it.
