Of this l can only say that the man
who could deliberately write it and yet
pretend to be a friend of silver places a
very low estimate upon the intelligence
of those by whom he thinks it will be
read. Mr.. Newlands, you seem O only
anxious to indorse the views of Mr.. Gage
as to the gold standard, but you are
ready with a new suggestion in its sup
port. Not only is it to be guaranteed by
a regulation of coinage, but to be assured
by limitation upon silver production. 1t
is not only free coinage, but free mining
which you perceive to be dangerous. If
you think that 1 misrepresent you,
please re-read the above quotation and
particularly this sentence:
"THE RESULT HAS BEEN,
THEREFORE, TO SUBJECT THESE
MINES TO THE EXPLOITATION
OF TREMENDOUS ENERGY AND
ENTERPRISE, AND HAS PRO
DUCED A FLOOD OF SILVER
WHERE FORMERLY THERE WAS
A DROUTH."

WASHINGTON mines are reaching q
stage of development, which, within
the next few years, will make them

features in prosperity of the city o.

tributary to that city, prospects have
finally come into the position OF ORE

The Skokomish Fish Hatchery.

1t is not probable more than four OF
the new fish hatcheries will be cen.
|structed this year in time to catch a
part of the seasons run and make a
showing in the output of salmon fry.
The state auditor is in part response
bic, but he bases his action on the law
He has ruled that but one hatchery
can be constructed at time.
Fish Commissioner Little had in
tended to have several hatcheries
started and the work on each progress
ing simultaneously. He knew the
amount of money in the hatchery
fund and believed it might as we'll be
used in lump to build the authorized
hatcheries as to build one at time.
The auditor rules that the hatcheries
must be built in rotation.
The basis for this ruling is to keep
the hatchery construction work with
in the limit of the funds. To do this,
the auditor believes the hatcheries
must not be built at the same time.
This means the work will be delay-
ed farther than Fish Commissioner
Little has estimated. He had intend
ed to start the construction work on
different hatcherles as rapidly as sites
were chosen and the money was in
sight to build them. Under the audi
tors ruling one hatchery must be
practically completed before the Sec
ond is undertaken.
1t will be impossible to- construct
more than four before the fall run of
salmon ceases. The Nooksack hatch
cry, located on Kendall creek, is now
under construction and will be COM
pleted by July l. Within few days
Mr.. Little will go to Wenatchee to To-
cate hatchery either on the lake of
that name or the river. The hatchery
will be built as soon as possible.
The Skokomish river hatchery on
Puget Sound and the Willapa river
hatchery on Willapa harbor are ex-
pected to be completed in time to
catch part of this seasons. run OF
fish. The Wind river hatchery on a
tributary of the Columbia river will be
undertaken this year, but it is not
probable any fish will be turned out
of the hatchery next summer.-Led-

A SALE is reported of the Seattle q
Northern Railroad in Skagit County,
one of the early attempts at develop
ment of the Oregon Improvement
Company in the Northwest. The
road runs up the Skagit Valley near
Anacortes to above Hamilton. Its
business is largely logs and lumber,
oats and coal, though the latter has
not been we'll developed. 1t is alleged
that the Great Northern is the pur-
chaser, but this is taken with grain
Of salt. The coast line branch OF the
Great Northern taps the oat section OF
the Skagit, while the Fairhaven d
Southern branch runs into Sedro-
Woolley, tapping the lumber and coal
sections. The Seattle & Northern has,
il is said, rever paid, because Of the
undeveloped state Of the country and
the shortness of the branch. It is re-
ported to have been bought for $500,
600. II can be operated to advantage,
no doubt, BY the Great Northerr Com
pany.- Times.

Lands For Settlement.

TACOMA, May 16.-Dr Cloes. the retir-
eirg forest superintent, believes from
his correspondence with the interior
department. that an order will be issued
that an issued in June throwing open
to settlement more than thousand
square miles OF agriculture lands along
the southern and northern edges Of
the Olympic forestry reserve. There
about thirteen townships in Chehalis
and Mason counties to be thrown
open if the department follows the
recommendation of Dr.Cloes, made
upon his return from personal ex-
animation of that district last month.
Dr.Cloes visited the northern part of
the reserve last September. There are
sixteen or more townships there which
hs has recommended to be set apart.
The boundry line on the north will
be very irregular if his plan be follow
ed.. He has advised, in the first place,
that the northern boundary be moved
southwark several miles, also that sew
eral valleys running north and south
toward the heart of the reserve be
thrown open, leaving the ridges and
foothills IN the reserve. This will not
inconvenience the settlers, as they are
authorized to take wood, etc, .,off the
reserve for their actual use. The nor
thern part of the reserve likely to be
set apart lies wholly in Clallam county.
Dr.Cloes was not ordered to investigate
in Jefferson county, but believes that
eight townships along the western side
of that country should be set apart,and
would be if Jefferson county people
made vigorous effort. The squatters
on land within the reserve did not
understand President Cleveland's
blanket order. They concluded that
they must get off at once. Hundreds
left their squatters' claims, taking
only their personal property. Last
fall DIR. Cloes wrote the department
on this subject, and three months later
received reply stating that squatters
would not be .molested and would have
the first right of entry when the lands
were thrown open. DR.. Cloes has
since made an active effort to acquaint
as many settlers as possible of this
ruling, that they might feel sure OF
the governments protection.

Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, d. G. May 81, 1899.

dorces the project of raising sum ol
money by popular subscription to
present Admiral Dewey with house
In Washington. 1t would be fitting
popular tribute to the man who in. a
day raised the U. S. to position
among the nations of the world, which
with all its powers and wealth, it had
never before occupied, and, moreover,
1T would be tribute that the gallant
Admiral will need. He will be, until
his death, which a grateful country
trusts may not occur for many years,
the ranking officer of our navy, and
as such his proper home will be Wash
ington. 1t is true that his salary as
Admiral is $4,000 year, but it would
be a difficult matter for man of
George Dewey's generous impulses to
maintain an establishment in Wash
ington suitable to his rank on that
amount, and he has no other income.
There has been little change in the
Philippines during the past week.
General Otis is slowly but surely clos
ing in on the insurgents, and unless
Aguinaldo surrenders very. soon, his
forces will be annihilated Operations
are rendered difficult over there by the
beginning of the rainy season, but

THRILLING ESCAPES.
Mr.. Wells Lowers His Family, Then
Wraps Hands with Towels
and Slides Down.

New York, March 1S.-Edward z.
Wells, his wife and daughter of James
town, \. D., had apartments on the sixth
floor of the Windsor hotel, on the Fifth
avenue side, and were watching the St.
Patrlcks day parade when the fire broke
out They had hardly time to realize
that something had gone wrong when
the smoke rolled through the corridor and
their escape was cut off in that direction.
The window was then the only hope,
and to jump meant certain death. In
this emergency Mr.. Wells besought his
family TO remain calm and he then pro-
ceeded with great deliberation to meas
ure the chances Of escape. He first paid
out the hre-escape rope in the room until
he Saw that it would reach the ground
and hauling it back, he quickly but Sc
curely fastened it about his daughters
waist. He then lifted the form of the
girl to the window ledge and slowly al
lowed it to descend.
He wound the rope tightly about his
hands and braced his feet against the
wall of the room, meanwhile slowly play
ing out the rope at the end of which
dangled the almost inanimate body OF his
daughter. Smoke and flames shot out
at intervals from the windows below, but
the passing of the girl was not retarded
and in few seconds she had reached the
ground There she was quickly taken
care of by hremen, who released her and
the rope was quickly hauled back by Mr..
Wells and exactly the same performance
was gone through with in the case of his
wife, who had meanwhile stood at his
side at the window.
For the third time Mr.. Wells pulled the
rope back, after he had seen his family
in safety, and he then made preparations
for his own descent. He recognized,
seemingly, that it would be impossible
for him to go down hand over hand, and
knowing the decorations that would re-
suit if he slid down the rope, he first
carefully tied up his hands in towels.
Then he clambered out on the window
sill and swung clear. He shot down
like lightning, but there were ready hands
below to break the fall, and when the
bandages had been removed from the
mans hands it was found that he had
not even blister on them.
A great shout went up from the crowd
as they saw Mr.. Wells land in safety.
He asked for his family, thanked the
firemen and others for their assistance
and disappeared. He found temporary
shelter with his wife and daughter with
some friends on Fifth avenue, and his
subsequent place of abode was not
learned.
