CONGRESSMAN Cushman tells the
following story against himself, so we
may be pardoned if we repeat it. Here
it is: congressman Cushman was
accompanying an old friend, and a
member of congress, TO the house on
his first visit. He was compelled to
stop to speak to friends in one of The
departments and the congressman
went on to his work. Congressman
Cushman reached the capitol some
time later and attempted to enter the
door. The doorkeeper halted him and
denied him admittance. Cushman
offered his card, and after an inspec-
ton, the doorkeeper insisted that it
was all right and ushered him inside.
Then turning to his companion, he
said: "Wouldn,t that cork you, Bill.
After this, anybody can enter. l will
not try to stop anyone. Why, that
man looks like an escaped reconcen-
trado."

THE town of Medical Lake has voted
a 81 poll tax, the utmost limit allowed
by law to cities of the fourth class. The
streets and sidewalks are in bad condi-
ton and the tax is levied to meet the
necessary expense of repair. The
Commissioners o. Mason County have
asked the Town of Shelton to increase
their poll tax from 80 to 81, to con-
form with the tax collected outside OF
the town, and the Council is consider
ing the matter. Some years ago it
was the practice to furnish poll tax
receipts to all applicants, in the log
ging camps, to the disadvantage OF
the country road districts, but for
some time past such tax has not been
collected from any persons not claim
ing residence and voting in Shelton.

Not another cent, and no consent to
the issuing of a single bond, was the
short and conclusive answer given by
Secretary Hay to the two Cubans
sent to Washington by the Cuban
Assembly with a resolution asking
that this government either increase
the 100000 it has sent to Cuba to
be advanced to the Cuban soldiers as
fast as they give up their arms, or
give its consent to an Issue of bonds
by the Assembly, to raise more money.
President Mckinley Endorsed the
answer and said that it must be &C
cepted as the end of matter.

The Port Blakely Mill Co., one OF
the largest lumber Manufacturing
plants In the world, is to get into
closer touch with. The markets of the
United States through the instfumen-
tality of the Great Northern Railway.
In fact, it is another evolution of the
mind of the great railroad magnate
that is t9 make Big mill company
feeder to the great transcontipental
railroad.
1t is an idea that has long been un-
der consideration by the railroad ais
well as the mill people, although the
latter have never lacked marie for
all the ports of the world have been
open TO them. However, as tie in
teri6r demand for Pacific Coast lumber
product has increased!the mill people,
like all others on the Sound, have not
been averse to sharing in it, and the
plan now being evolved will afford the
ready means for getting the product
into the East as easily as from some
of the big mills whose locations are
tapped by :he railroad lines.
Barges have, it is understood, al
ready been constructed that are to
carry the Great Northern cars over to
the mill, where they will be loaded
and then returned to the tracks of the
company in this city. To facilitate
the loading and discharge of the cars
from track to barges huge gridiron
is being built at the new Great North
ern dockyards at Smith Cove. This
will be so placed that the cars can be
transferred at a certain stage of tide
with dispatch, and in perfect safety,
and without the necessity Of the big
apron that is occasionally used.
AS supplemental proposition to
the main object, a manufacturing
plant for turning out cross arms by
the millions of feet is being construct
ed near the big mill, and 200 to 800
cars of this material will be made and
shipped to the Eastern markets. This
latter proposition was started and
made contingent wholly upon the sue
cess of the plan to ferry the cars across
the Sound.
Tracks and spurs have been, or are
being, arranged on the other side to
facilitate the work.
The Great Northern will be insured
against loss 10 its rolling stock while
in transit across the Sound, and will
also be guaranteed against delay and
detention on the other side. The mill
people, it is said, have agreed to handle
the company's cars in even less time
than is usually consumed in handling
them in the company's yards here.
The proposition is one that has re-
ceived the attention of Great Northern
traffic men here for a long time, but it
was one of so novel character that it
required good deal of thought before
decisive action was taken. The mat
ter is now considered settled, and will
soon be an established fact.-Seattle
