Watchful Circle, Kings Daughters. of
St. pauls NJ. e. Church, gave a
bake sale at the church on Saturday.
The sale continued from a. m. un-
til o'clock. The articles sold con-
sisted of pies, cakes and bread, which
were all home baked and contributed by
members of the circle and the church.
Not much money was realized, the pro-
|ceedstbeing less than $40, but the idea
was novel and taking into considera-
ton that this was the circles first at
tempt in this line, the ladies think the
sale a profitable one and viii hold

TIE COAL BARK COLORADO.
Eight Days Coming From COmax With a Cargo of Coal. Almost
 Went to the Bottom.
CAPT. AND rlRS. ANDREWS.

The dismantled bark Colorado ar rived at the Treadwell wharf last Friday evening with a cargo of l7OO tons Of Comax coal. Fred c. Andrews is the captain of the Colorado, and she was lowed to this port by the tug Pilot. Capt. Andrews was seen by the News man upon his arrival.
 "What kind of trip up, Captaln! asked the newsgatherer.
 "A pretty rough trip indeed" was his reply. "We were eight days coming up and encountered southeastern gale after gale. Why, we ran through SIX snow storms. 1 was accompanied by my wife and daughter, but they de- clare they are going to shake me here that they are going back in some other boat"
 "You must have had narrow escape Captain, or your wife would not be afraid of your boat"
 swell we did have a pretty close call" said the Captain, and he laughed heartily over the experience they had. "You see we got into the tide rifts and really the boat came very near going to the bottom. A small boat could not have lasted long in the sea we were ln, and if the Colorado had gone down none could have been saved. 1 can't say that I blame my wife for being frightened"
 The captain also said that he and his crew worked one whole night in get ting the anchor of the Colorado up and during the worst kind of storm.
 The Colorado will be some eight days in discharging her cargo. The tug that brought her up will return with the Richard the III and the two boats will make regular trips to this point loaded with coal for Treadwell and Douglas City.
 Capt. Andrews seems to be a big hearted, kind, good natured man, whose experience on the rough seas has not robbed him of his genial, social quail ties. A narrow escape, when it is all over, he seems to view in the light of a good joke. The fact that he came very near going to see McGinty he does not now consider in a serious manner.

rnrY Are. rIDDLED ANp DANCED.
A Hilarious Old Time at the Party Given as a
 Compliment to Geo. Moody.

Mir. and Mrs. Jerry Cashen, of this city. are among our very best people, and we know of none who can com mand more friends. They have lived here for some time and know every body. \ short time ago MT. George Moody came to town. He Is Mrs. Cashcn's brother. George is inclined to be little bashfu!, he don't get ac- quanted as fast as some people do, and Mr. and Mrs. Cashen concluded to give him "scud off" and they did it in grand style, by giving a surprise party and dance at Ohman's Hall last Thurs day evening. It was in fact a surprise to George. for he knew nothing of 1t until ho was marched into the hall.
 Dancing commenced about nine o'clock. Profs. Miller and Fremont furnished the music, and they did it to the satisfaction of all, in fact the music was exceptionally good. Prof. Miller's arm worked with marvellous ease, and Prof. Fremont never was in such flnc trim before.
 More than one hundred people re- spondcd to the printed invitations that had been given out and they had a merry time indeed. It was one of the incest parties ever given in Douglas City. Along about 12 o'clock q nice lunch was served in the hall. Plates and napkins were given to everyone present, after which the eatables were passed around. The coffee too was eX- cellent.
 While the writer was enjoying this excellent repast, man in town by the name of Coursen sent note to the editor of the News, reminding him of the large quantity of provisions he was storing away in his stomach. It was an awful mean trick. Now that man Coursen is so big and fat that he has quit eating, in fact it is said he is talk ing anti-fat, and he don't like to see thin hungry man get a square meal when he can't enjoy it himself.
 Tha ball was continued until a late hour and all present felt highly pleased with the evenings enjoyment.

LEAVES.

lie here on my couch of green And watch the breeze pass by That sails the clouds of silver That dot the distant sky. I gather the leaves of the mapie Dressed in robes of crimson and gold; As they fit about in the autumn air What a tale these leaves unfold. How, in the springtime of youth they were
 wooed by the sun,
 Byhis kisses, careSSes and tears: By constant care, by his loyalty, Won their confidence, silenced their fears. And then in loves submission Came forth at their lovers call, Gave their sweet, young, tender natures, In return received their all. He slipped the delicious nectar They gave forth for his delight While they bnslIed in the sunlight of his smile Slept during the frowns of night. For many days when his love was young They lived as all Sweethearts do, In sweet delirium, in ecstasy, For no lover could prove more true. But at last his smile grew dinner His kisses were cold and chill, When they whispered words of love to him They felt no answering thrill. Now listen Responding maidenS! Did they wither, droop and fade, Bemoan their lovers flclIlenesS, On all things cast a shade? An! no: they sought an artist. King Frost came. LO! Behold! He decked them out in splendor' In russet, red and gold. Then they call their stunch old friend, the
 Breeze
 To be clasped close to his breast, And they dance and whirl for their lovers
 delight,
 As he sinks on the hills to rest. And they sing mad, gay, rolliclIing songs As they dance about in the air, While their lover's heart grows colder still Yet finds nothing half so fair. And they dance lighter and lighter, Sweetly loves songs they trill, Nor give a sigh for days now gone, When they felt love sweetest thrill. For they feel they have done theird duty, Have lived as all sweetheartS should live Have lived their lives for their lovers sake For love their lives did give. Dear little leaves how grandly you loved For your lover you have died Dancing along, singing song,
 Fora false love never sighed. These little leaves are wiser than we Yet we claim the right Co rule We make our laws and cry We are hinG' While nature calls us "Fool.'

Among the Exchanges.

The Seattle Review has been enlarged and much improved. The last issue received contained the platform of 1900 upon which it is alleged Jefferson was elected. The editor, JohnT. Condon IS a great joker.
 The Wenatchee Advance very pointed ly remarks that number of gentlemen who expected to be United States sen ators have discovered that they have been gold bricked.
 The bright, newsy Skagit County Times comes to us with numerous s on the wrapper. Why. of course.
 The Peoples Party News, of What com, is nice, well edited, newgy paper Populists don't generally support their papers very we'll, but au exception IS made in the News.
 The Beloit, Kansas, Times thinks the prohibition law is not enforced as we'll as it should be. The sheriff and coun- ty attorney, if they choose to do SO, can enforce the law in any city in that state. These two officers are the powers that be- and if prohibition is . failure, no one else is to blame, except only m cases where they are not backed by public sentiment.

AGRICULTURE IN ALASKA.
Uncle Sam Will Find Out What Products Are Best Suited for
 This Climate.
EXPERIMENTS AT SlTKA

The many false statements that have been diligently circulated throughout the east concerning the Alaska climate have done this district an injury from which it will take years to recover and bv reason of which many of the mem bers of our national law making body have come to the erroneous conclusion that Alaska is only fit for habitation by a few gold hunters, who, after a years residence, should leave this alleged worthless country. It has taken long time to correct these false impressions, but the truth is mighty and it will final ly prevail.
 We are pleased to know that the Ag. ricultural department at Washington has taken the trouble to inform itself concerning the nature and value of the Alaska agricultural lands, and eXperi- mental stations are to be erected at once which will demonstrate to the world that while this district is rich in minerals of all kinds, it's plains and val levs with reasonable effort will be able to produce many of the agricultural products of which we stand so much in need.
 Very recently a government official at Juneau was ordered to see that plans and specifications are prepared for a combined agricultural and signal sta tion to be erected at Sitka, the expense not to exceed S4,5OO. This evidently indicates that the department is sincere in it's intentions to develop and eXperi ment upon the agricultural resources of Alaska.
 When Prof. Georgson was here last summer as special agent of the agricul- tural department he undertook to pre- pare a process by which hay grown in Alaska could be preserved over the season so as to be fed to cattle in a palitable form during the winter months. For this purpose he caused to be erected airtight houses at Cooks Inlet, at Sitka, Skaguay and one on the flats near Juneau. The one at Juneau was recently opened and the hay was found in fine condition and is now be- ing used by Tom Knudson, in whose charge the house referred to was left.
