Honor Among These Thieves

A traveller I'm South America tells a
CHASTITY story Of an adventure among the
outlaws and desreradoes there One
night farmer was reused from his sleep
by hearing an unusual Noise about the
place. He got quietly out Of bed. and.
after listening attentively. discovered
that some people outside were cutting
a hole through the door close To the bolt
by which II was held. II dii not require

Is An ACCOMPLISHED BABOON.
She Can Unite Knots and Has Some
thing Like . Vocabulary.

One OF the cleverest creatures the Lon
don geological gardens has possessed for
a long time is the lately added specimen
OF the Nubian baboon. The animal
which is fun grown female was brought
from Tuni:, where she was purchased by
Sir Harry Johnston. Dnduna, for such
IS the name she answers TO. is highly In
teligent. She has various vocal meth
DDS of expressing anger. appeal dis
satisfaction. For the first she makes a
noise not unlike a bark. "Haw. haw.
haw;" for the second she seems
actually 10 form word with her flexible
lips. Yum yum-ma." while she screams
not unlike child. and sheds tears
copiously when grieved. She can recog-
nize old friends even after long lapse
Of time. ia fond OF walking upright and
wearing clothes AT the word OF COM
mand pnduna performs various little
tricks. and will unite almost any knot
In piece OF string with marvellous dex-
terity.
The animal Is likely TO become great
public favorite. especially with the
younger folks. IT was this kind Of mon
key that the ancient Egyptians taught to
perform various little domestic duties and
10 mount guard over their crops.-Lloyd's
Weekly.

William J. Henrotty, a wealthy Michigan
iumoerman and owner OF large mills at
Saginaw. Is IN the city. a guest Of the
Northern. For the past two weeks he has
been looking over the Washington timber
lands and has succeeded in purchasing
several hundred acres about twenty-five
miles from Everett
Washington timber lands" he said last
evening, ARE not as plentiful now as they
were Few years ago. when ] first visited
The Coast. l find that a vast amount of
acreage containing the best OF FIR and ce-
dar has passed into the hands OF Eastern
mill owners This Is significant. that be-
fore many years Washington fir will be a
valuable article. The Eastern pine timber
lands are fast becoming cleared, and it
will only be short time until Ar must
find market East In large quantities.
The Southern yellow pine districts. while
they Will last for many years, are by no
means inexhaustia.e.
The vast increase in the price OF tim
Der during the past year has resulted ii
the query as TO where the timber Of the
country is located and how IL can be se-
cured. The price of stumpage has gone
up. and buyers have for a year past been
more anxious than ever 10 pick up vaiu-
able timber lands wherever they can be
found Washington has been a field thor
oughly exploited in this respect, with the
result tflat more timber land In this state
has changed hands within the last twelve
months than ever before In the history Of
the state.
The largest manufacturers Of the once
vast white pine regions have come to a
point where they can see the last OF their
timber resources, and consequently have
begun to turn their attention 10 other
fields. Much OF the timber land In this
state that has been purchased by Eastern
nen Is now held by manufacturers In the
white pine districts. A portion Of the land
has been taken solely as an investment,
While much larger amount has been TAX

the Eastern manufacturers. Within a few
years at most their resources in the East

where the supply has been cut. will move
10 Washington and other parts OF the
Coast.
There are now many mills on the Pa
cifc coast, but i think 1t is safe 10 say
that within five years the number will be
doubled. There Ii room for US ALL for
when that time comes the East will afford
market for all the lumber the Pacific
coast can supply.
Much OF the timber land here. which is
now classed as being held by Eastern cap
itatsts for investment belongs to men who
have mills In the fast-disappearing pine
lands of the East. and who will by force
Of circumstances be compelled TO come
West"

Tidal Wave in Lake Superior,

Ashland, Wis, July IA tidal
wave raised the water in Chequemagon
bay on the south shore of Lake Superior
three feet on Saturday. 1t is the high
est raise OF water that has been report
ed for several years. 1t came nearly to
the top of some of the docks, flooded
roads and backed up so high that sew
several sawmills were obliged to shut
down. The water ran over many OF
the lumber docks and into the boiler
rooms of the mills. The water began
to recede Saturday night, and yesterday
evening was nine inches below normal
height. The strange thing about it is
that the wind was from off shore. Yes.
sci captains report the same phenome,
non on the Apostle Islands. The water
backed up in streams flowing into the
bay, flooding and destroying crops.
