Ola EureeoM Says Mental Suffering
IL Much Easier to Bear.

"Ona frequently hears IL said" remarked
veteran surgeon. chatting In his Office
yesterday. that mental suffering is a great
deal harder to bear than physical suffering.
but tho people who make the assertion are
usually people who know very little about
bodily pain. They have a vague idea that a
capacity for mental anguish indicates
fine high-strung spirit, while there is some
thing gross about 4 sensitiveness TO ply
steal discomfort. Such theory Is pure
rubbish. and the facts In a general way are
quite to the contrary.

n. P. Disposes Of ALI Its Wooded
Lands West Of the Cascades.
Frederick WeyeshasseS, 81 Ashiand,
Wis, Secures In the Aggregate
One Mflifoa Acres for Bix an1 .
Half Millions Doliars-Pries 10
ConsiAereA Lsw-TAe Deal Has
Bees Hanging Fire for Months.

The latest ard most stupen6ous deal In
Western timber lands Is reported 10 have
fust been closed. whereby Frederick Wey-
eyisauser the millionaire ium5ernan OF
wisconsin. becomes possexsor OF, in refund
figures, 1000 100 acres OF Northern Pacific
timber lands IN Washington and Northern
Oregon. The price paid In said to have
been &.5oo.60c. This land lying In this state
Ii located In HnohomIsh. King. Pierce.
Lewis. chehais. Thurston. Cowliiz and
Pacific counties. and II practically All the
patented timber lands owned by the North
ern Pacific west OF the Cascade noun
taIns.
The deal has been on for several months.
and many times has been reported az con-
summated. only TO be denied by both IN
terested parties. In Northern Pacihc cir
cles even yesterday 1t was claimed that
the sale had not been made. but that 1t
was Ia process Of negotiation.
This assertion, however. may be set at
rest. as In q telegram from Ashland, Wis.
Mr. Weyerhauser confirms the report and
In an interview says the sranss ction IL
simply In the nature OF an investment. He
believes that timber Is bound TO advance
In the West, and that he will realize a
handsome profit.
This would indicate that the deal has
already been closed and the greatest indt-
vIduai lumber transfer in history hsd bean
made Local lumbermen express much
surprise regarding the price. which they
consider far below the actual value Of tho
land. The acreage. l. Is said. Includes some
of the beat timber In the state. and n
worth several times what Mr.. Weyer-
hauser IL reported TO have paid for II.
They point out that several townships In
Lewis and Chehalis counties. each Of which
Is included in the deal have timber worth
between 500 900 and 10000 at 81 stumpase.

RENDERED / FINE OFFICE.
Ex-GOv. M'CRAw May BECOME
G. 8. COMMISSIONER AT NOME.
In Fees Yearly ~ Camp Grows -
Antieipated-New Appointee In
decided Whether to Accept.

The news published In the Post-Inte.i-
gencer a few days ago that 10 ex-Gov.
John II. McGraw. OF this city, had been
rendered the lucrative office OF United
States court commissioner at Cape Nome
has set the tongues OF his friends wa9-
ging at a great rate. Since the news OF
the appointment. by Judge c. 8. Johnson.
OF the United States court at Sitka. was
brought down by the Cottage City. Gov.
McGraw has been non-committal regarding
the matter.
Last night he admitted In an interview
that he had received the appointment. but
stated that he had not yet made up his
mind whether to accept or reject IT. Gov.
McGraw has but recently returned home
from the Yukon, aid the pressure of busi-
ness affairs awaiting his attention here
70 doubt has kept him from giving i'm
mediate consideration to the appointment.
The ONCE OF United States court COM
missioner at Cape Nome for the nsxt few
yesrs. OF unit. the present governmental
system in Alaska Is materially altered, VIII
be one OF the most important and profit
able in the territory. The salary attached
TO the position is not large. being about
81. 400 per annum. but the fees earned by
the commissioner 60 to increase his COM
pensation. Ii is probably conservative to
estimate that IL Gov. McGraw should con-
clude TO accept the position il would pay
him not less than S15.ooo a year. This can
easily be realized when 1t il considered
that Cape Nome wifi almost surely next
year attain population OF $1,000.
Primarily a court commissioner is the
committing magistrate for Federal court.
occupying toward II the same relation that
justice OF the peace does TO the superior
court OF this state. But in Alaska the pow
ers of the commissioners have been largely
extended, and they are clothed with the
powers OF court not Of record and given
original jurisdiction to try civil and GRIM
tnal cases of considerable Importance.
AT Cape Nome the commissioner win
have a great deal to do with mining claim
litigation, and will In a general way exer-
else supervision over the district to pre-
serve law and order with the aid of
force OF deputy United States marshals
Gov. Mc<sraw is well fitted for the office,
being a lawyer and member Of the Seattle
