Capt. MulIan Visits Boomers Ferry.

Bonners Ferry was honored this
Y eek will il visit firm one of the
most renowned pathdnders of the
Pacific coast-Captain Mullan, Of
Mulan trail fame.
The Captain is now past the
age Of three score and ten and
his hair is as white as the snow,
but his step is yet elastic and his
eye as bright as when he fought
hostile savages and explored these
then unknown regions half CEN
fury ago
Late in the 5O's Captain MullAn
was stationed at Walla Walla. One
day an order came along from
Washington for Captain Mullan TO
to take a detachment of soldiers and
proceed forthwith to survey out
and build a trail from Fort Walla
Walla, Wash. to Fort Benton, in
Montana, in order to facilitate COM
muuicatiOn between these two from
tier posts. 1t seems marvellous, it
seems almost beyond belief that
within the life time of this man,
such changes should have taken
place in the Northwest, that such
an order should have been possible.
W hen Captain Mullan received his
orders to proceed with the work
mentioned, all was a wilderness be-
tween WaHa Walla and Ft. Benton,
There was not even a trail across
the country The only inhabitants,
war-like Indians. That this man
shoul return in his life time and
find that wild region dotted with
cities and towns, and with railroads
everywhere, brings forcibly to mind
the wonderful progress of the coun-
try. To Captain Mullan it must
seem like q dream
In obedience to his orders Cap
tain Mullan established the famous
trail which bears his name. 1t is
the route afterwards taken by the
Northern Pacific coming over the
Rockies-hence the name Mullan
tunnel. The Mullan pass was long
famous in overland travel.
1t was while engaged in this
work that the war broke out and
curriers' were sent out to find the
Captain and to bring him and his
command in. Soldiers were just
then needed for other purposes thar
building trails But the Captain
WIS Virginian and like all sons
Of Virginia felt called TO go with
his state" He resigned his com.
mission in the army and retired to
civil life. He drifted into the real
estate business, first in San Fran
cisco, but he is now located in
Washington. d. c., where he has a
large laud claim agency. 1t was
in connection with his land claim
business that he paid Boomers Ferry
visit. having been employed by
the late Richard Fry in connection
with MS extensive land claims.
" hile here, Captain Mullan met
an old time friend in the person of
Hon. Henry Melder who was as
ISOLATED with the Captain in the
real estate business in San Francis
co over 30 wears ago. Many inter
esting "reminiscences were called up
between them Captain Mullan
continued his journey on to Wash
ington, after spending a couple OF
days here.

But comparing more particularly
this will with a modern one, many i'm

parent. Many wills today are nothing
but printed form blanks, which can be
filed in with little labor The lin
trusting soul and body is seldom used
now. 1t is sufficient to say being of
sound mind and memory" Unless the
property to be divided is unusual in
size and Importance, two or three pag-
es will suffice to make clear the inten-
tons of the testator Many village
squires of half century ago delighted
in making every paper as verbose and
pompous as possible, and some of their
efforts were certainly maryels of their
kind, not only puzzle to a Philadel-
phia lawyer, but to the writer himself
In even intentions to make the docu-
ment ineligible they would hopelessly
tangle things up, and furnish material
for the country lawyers to help pay
their office rent
1t seems strange that almost no one
can say simply what he means with
out having the courts take the paper
and spend months in interpreting it.
However, in spite of it's length, the

This is the way Isaiah Thomas be-
gan his will, written more than half a
century ago.
Down among the records of the past,
carefully docketed in the registry OF
probate office, are many curious doc
uments, and among them all, none is
more interesting as an example OF
drawing of wills than the huge docu-
ment signed by the founder of The
Spy.
In the early part of the century the
man who wrote out any legal paper
generally inserted many pious express
sions of faith in God and often so en-
numbered the meat of the document
with the shell, that there was room for
endless litigation. The copy of the

Mr.. Thomas owned nine pews in the
second parish church, one in Christ's
church, Boston, and one in the first
parish church in Worcester.
These were to be sold off and the
money applied toward the legacies. In
prefacing his requests to the various
public and charitable institutions, he
says: II think it is the duty of every
man who is member of any institu-
ton to contribute something in SER
vice and time or in money" And so his
favorite society, the American Anti
quarian Society, got 100000. The three
witnesses to the will were all interest

In an editorial on the adoption of the
eight-hour question, the Boston Adver-
tiser recently said: Perhaps, If all city
employees should work on the eight
hour system, the change in the hours
Of laborers may not cost so much as is
expected. Some now work much less
than eight hours a day."
The first eight-hour day on this con-
tinent was won by the stonecutters in
1867.
The four months strike Of the Man

The feature of the first week of the
