HOOD CANAL, July 4th, 1899.
(, One of our Hood Canal boye, Edgar
Lewless, whose home is near Holly,
was in the navy, and on the Iowa, dur.
ing the Spanish war. Since the Iowa
has been at Port Orchard, he has been
visiting at home, and the young people
of that region, inclu1ing a number
from Crosby, gave him a surprise
last Saturday evening.
Miss Ethel Hauptly, who has been
at school at Sidney during the pas,
winter, returned to her home at Cliff.
ton about week ago, and Miss White
of the same place, who has been at
school at Seattle, also returned home.
VIM. Watson closed his school at the
| Oak Patch last Friday, but will begin
again at the same place after a weeks
vacation for another term of two
months.
Miss Mary Scott was to close her
school at the Upper Skokomish last
Friday.
Sam. Wyatt has engaged to teach
the school at Lillewaup, which begins
about July 10th.
Sam. Watson and VIM. Ellis finished
their contract of building the new road
between Clifton and Allyn last week.
1t is saving in distance with much
better grade up the hill.
Some haying on the uplands has al
ready begun, but most of the larger
ranches in thes Skokomish valley and
Clifton are not quite ready yet. A
number expect to begin this week.
The report of the weather bureau
for June gives ~ inches of rain,
which is less than the usual amount
for the month during the past six
years. The number of days on which
rain fell was II, much more than the
average. There were IL clear, II
partly cloudy and 7 cloudy days. The
average temperature was 57.4 deg,
which is S degrees colder than the
average. Only in 1898 was the month
colder than this June. The range
was from 58.8 to "a, in 1892. The
average amount of rain for July has
been 81 of an inch, average tempera-
ture IS deg, and the average number
clear days 21.
Mrs j. E. Youngblood of the reserva-
ton found in her garden short time
ago an old Fur Company's medal, evil
IDENTIFY used by them in their inter-
course with the Indians. 1t is made
of brass and is an inch and an eighth
IN diameter. One one side is bea-
yer in the center around which are the
words, Northwest Company" On
the other side the head of man, and
the word, '"Tokin.' with the date 1920.
AS the Northwest Company went out
of existence in 1921, when it was
merged into the Hudson's Bay Com
pany, and as that Company did
not have any Forts nearer here than
Astoria and Fort Okanogan it will be
seen that it has travelled far and is
one of the relics of pioneer days.
The Fourth of July is on hand and
being observed in various ways.
Dewatto and Clifton will have picnics,
and small neighborhoods expect to
have the same. Many have gone to
Shelton, the great share of the Indians
from the reservation going yesteday.

The Repulse of Love.

Within house woman crouched be-
fore a dying fire. It was builded with
twigs of friendship and lean branches
of esteem, and burned sleepily and dull.
And the woman shivered. Then came
tapping at the casemate as light as
the beating of May rain on a bed of vio-
let's. Outside the door stood Love in
the garb Of forester, and on his back
he bore a bundle Of vigorous boughs
and sturdy, sap-flled limbs. Again he
raped upon the casemate and cried:
"Open!" But the woman shook her
head and crouched fearful by the pant
ing flame. Again Love knocked and
cried her name, and the woman raised
her weary eyes. Il knowtyou not who
clamor at my door. Depart!" she cried.
Then went Love singing through the
night on white bridge of woven moon
beams. 'And she will not let me in
she will not!" quoth he. "'Iis shame
to waste this kindling.'' And the wom-

A Happy Honoqv
Bear Hunt
BY Rufus SNcLain Fields.
"TTAPPY HOLLOW" was our home,

uAPPY HOLLOW" was our home,
an ideal little poets valley,
Nesting in the mountains of East,
Tennessee, and surrounded by SPLEEN
did mountain ranges. The name
was most appropriately given to
that hollow, which was happy in
fact as in name, where, in com
pany with my boyhood's boon com
panion, Plato-a great ugly brin-
die cur dog, as true and faithful as
dumb brute ever was-I have had many
an exciting boyish romp and ramble
>. in the days long gone.
One morning in the early fall of 1851,
while Plato and were out for rab-
bit hunt in the upper end of the Hol-
low, I had an experience, which I am
in no danger of forgetting, until life
itself is forgotten. 1t was my four
teenth birthday, and my father had
presented me that morning with a long
coveted treasure in the form Of shot
gun. ! It was single-barrel, muzzle
loader concern, and would doubtless be
considered quite antiquated by boy
friends Of this advanced age of the
breech-loader and the hammerless. At
all events, it was entirely up to date
then, and [ am able to recall few
prouder, happier. moments of my life
than when that gum have it yet
first came into my possession. On the
morning in question: I had it on my
shoulder, feeling Ikea yeritable Ma
poleon Bonaparte going forth to CON
quer the world.
The rabbits must have heard the
news, however, for, hunt as he would
old Plato could not start a single one
Of them. They were ordinarily plenti-
full enough.
At length, weary with walking, I sat
down at the very foot of the mountain,
which. formed an almost perpendicular
wall above my head. Just to the right
of me was the dreaded Danger Line
of the mountain range-a rocky, bar
rem, desolate stretch or belt across the
mountain, with here and there a cave.
sunk in or a huge rock jutting out.
When all the rest of the mount ain sides
were clad in the green garments of
spring time, or the russell robes of au-
tumn, this stretch of sterile, untim-,
bered land showed, naked and glazing,
like an ugly frown on natures face
It was some unpleasant freak in the
construction Of the noun tains that I
never knew the reason for, but I know
that Danger Line" was universally
avoided, by white and black alike
the latter declaring that it was liant
ed,'' and the former that there were
rattlesnakes, and even worse things, to
be encountered there. Ny mother had
positively forbidden me ever to go into
that part Of the mountain, and hitherto

central shaft, having blades at the bot
tom, with a handle fitting over the top
of the shaft to rcvolve the latter as it is
pushed down, q spiral spring returning
it after each stroke.
TIE handle of new pocket knife is
in two, parts, joined by the rivet on
which the blade turns, making it pos

one side of the handle on the pivot to
push the blade out and then returning
the handle to its place.
