as to the use and power of our donkey engine.
We propose to have one or more of these pho

we do aud distribute them why those two fell
lows on the tip top holding that cable are
Young and Hertz. Right at their elbows on
the right with an axe aud saw over their res
pective shoulders are Ed. Irish-''old faith
ful''-and Ambie, his no less faithful l9-year
old son. Just in front of Young is Abe Mitch
ell and Bros. Clifford, Marquart and Peek of
the stump pulling crew, and those others you
see why they are Gearhart, Jaap and certain
distinguished others of us who have had an
humber part in the work OF glory.
This is to be great year for the display of
sentiments of patriotism. Nearly all coast
towns will ma special arrangements for
Fourth of July celebrations, but New What
com is destined to eclipse all neighboring
cities. She has desire to live in memories of
the past. to drink again ut the very foun
tains Of inspiration, and her people have the
courage and the enterprise and the intelli-
gence to make "a glorious success of just such
projects. Recently some of her more en-
terprisng business men held a meeting for
the pnpose of arranging details. and this
was done with facility characteristic of a
business community. and now we have the
certain promise of a pageant worthy of the
age.
Equality has had a special invitation to at
tend in body, and it is hoped our people
will take advantage of this occasion to drink
at the pure fountains of patriotism and there
catch some of the inspiration that led to the
attempt to establish government Of, by and
for the people, an attempt that has resulted
in developing superior type of civilization
and yet one that is now threatened with des-
truction because of the criminal apses in adj
ministration.
1t is fitting and proper that our people
should, on such occasions, mingle with the
masses and there do all we can to inspire
love of all that is good, beautiful and true in
our modern life and to condemn all that is
brutal superstious and degrading
Hurrah for July It'll, 1899, and hurrah for
New Whatcom
Sunday evening, the 4th inst, a telegram
came to Mr.. and Mrs. Bige Eddy from rela-
tives at Rainier, Ehurston county, this state,
their old home. announcing that her father
had been accidentally killed that day. The
particulars have not yet come to hand. 1t
was known that flal obligations would soon
take Mr.. and Mrs. Eddy away and we all
grieved to think of it, but the grief which
we would ordinarily feel because of their de-
farture is intensified by this grievous event
which now has called them away. Any per-
son who appreciates progressive and original
thought, courageously, graphically and Wig
orously expressed, must admire Bige Eddy
and such persons will rejoice that his mu-
sings will continue to appear in the columns
of Industrial Freedom, but those who admire
him al long range because of his talents and
the uses he devotes them to as citizen 40
closer range would soon discover other quail
ties of mind and heart which would endear
them to him as a friend and neighbor. We
miss his cool, calm Judgment his grave intel
lectual face and unassuming manner. Mrs
Eddy is an accomplished lady, devoted wife
and mother. For the past two months. to-
gether they have taught the school, and the
children will miss them as much at the rest
of us. Moreover. Mrs Eddy is a born mutu-
alist natural cooperator, and her willing
spirit and delicate tact found in Equality

think he didn't just think so. Before he
came to Equality, ween, he wanted coloni-
cation in his in limited quantities. but he has
great tenacity of purpose and loves to over
come difficulties. Witness his superhuman
struggles with the printing press, and he
went away from here impressed believe
