OF
 ENSLEY CITY

Ensley City Is on boom. This thriving little town. not being satisfied in possess ing next to the largest blast furnace in the world, has taken on a still more violent spell of the "prosperity fever.
 Alghting from the car. as far as the ear and eye can reach the song of the hammer and nail goes merrily on. New and com modious houses are springing up every where and still the demand cannot be sup piled. Everything from the neat looking cottages to the shot gun shanties are oc- cup,ed as fast as completed. The Ensley company is doing a large business and is pushing the work of building and selling as fast as possible, however, MT. Nolan, president of the company, says demands for houses and lots are still coming in and if the present rush keeps up his force will have to be increased. The company Is trying to keep anything of a boom nature down and is endeavorng to run things on strictly business basis, which is, no doubt, wise, as this section of the country has had bitter taste of two much boom.

On account of not being an incorporated town Ensley has so far been unable to en- Joy the benefits to be derived from "bug juice and "growler rushing dispensary" otherwise known as a saloon. Notwitf- standing this fact, the hand of the Genii has touched this little city and one gifted son has organized reading club and paint ed in glowing letters across the front of the building Reading Room"
 The library of this laudable institution consists of two kegs of beer, about three gallons of the "overioyful" and one con- sfderably worn volume of Dickens bear ing the suggestive tite "Bleak House." One dollar is the imitation fee which be- sides membership to the club entities the candidate to twenty tickets, good for twenty schooners of beer, or ten drinks of whisky. When these tickets give out an- other degree has to be, taken. The num- OCT of degrees is not limited. The Semet-Sovay company is rapidly re- constructing it's plant and the work has so far advanced that coke is being furnished to several mills. However, they are as yet unable to use their bi-products. These con- sist of ammonia, coal tar, etc., and are generally shipped north.
 Outside of these many business enter prises, Ensley has also a social element which is by no means behind the times. The managers, clerks, etc., of the various works have organized a whist club, and had banquet last night Here is the interesting menu which was served these jolly card players:

THERE never has been convicted

and brutal his crime, that some maud
lin sentimentalist has not wept over. del
uged with flowers, or signed petitions for
his freedom. There never has been an
outbreak of bloodthirsty redskins in our
western states, with its consequent out
rage and slaughter of defenceless women
and children, that some humanitarian
in the east has not sympathized with
Lo, the poor Indian, and laid all to the
wicked whites. And now in keeping
with these hvsterical demonstrations of
mistaken philanthropy, such men as
Atkinson, Bryan and the other "aunties"
are weeping over the Tagalos and Bolo-
men OF the Philippines, throwing them
boquets and abusing our government for
not giving lot of savage pirates their
freedom. 1t is only the same old story
only little more maudlin and further
from the realms OF common sense.

two cars OF Eastern oysters will be i'm
ported by the fish commissioner for use
in conducting his experiments. BY the
time of their receipt it is expected the
preliminary work will have advanced to
such a stage, that it will not require the
presence OF sn expert to direct it. The
importation of the two cars is the first of
several to be made, and it is probable
that others will DO made with stated
regularity until it is finally demonstrated
that Eaetean oysters can be imported
and will live in state waters.

spite of the urgent demand of the farm

offers of from $3.50 to $3.50 per day and

SINCE the death of Robert g. Ingersoll,
the papers throughout the country have
been filled with columns for and against
this great agnostic and his teachings.
Col Ingersol, to do him justice, did not
DENY the Immortality of the ssul nor the
existence of a Supreme Being. He was
an intidel not an atheist. an agnostic
rather than dogmatic denier of future
life. Christians the world over have al
ways spoken of the doctrine of immor-
tally as "Great Hope" and Ingesoll
went as far as that In one of his brief,
but pointed funeral orations he said 'It
the grave ends all, if all that was our
friend is dead, the world is better for the
life he lived Beyond the tomb we can
not see. We listen, but from the lips of
mystery there comes no word, darkness
and silence brooding over all. And yet
because we live, we hope'. And his last
published verses conclude with these
lines.
Is there beyond the silent night
An endless day?
Is death door that leads to light?
We cannot say.
The tongueess secret locked in fate
We do not know. We hope and wait.

PROFESSOR DoANE, of the state agricul-
tural college, completed last week the
experiments he has been conducting at
Willapa harbor, with regard to the prop
agstion OF Eastern oysters. He returned
Wednesday from Yaquina bay, Oregon,
where he has lately been experimenting
in conjunction with Prof. Washburn, OF
the Oregon agricultural college, who is
working along the same lines at that
point. The written report Of Professor
Doane, which will be completed in a
short time, will show the results
of his water tests, study of the work Of
private corporations and oystermen who
have been engaged in the work at Toxic
land aud other points on the WilIapa
harbor for some time, and will also in
corporate something of the results of the
experiments OF Prof. Washburn on the
Oregon coast. As coon as Prof. Doane
presents his report on the work at Will
lapa harbor, he will be asked by the fish
to conduct similar cxper-
iments at Oytser bay on Puget Sound.
