lected Bro. Young, whose vigilant eye never
closes
Corporal John Abbey, late of Co. B, 4th U.
S. Infantry and brother of Mrs. Carey Lewis,
is home from the war and is in Equality Wis
iting with his sister. He has returned from
the Philippines is glad to be home, and says
that many of his comrades will be glad too
when this cruel war is over. He served
through the Santiago campaign with his re-
giment. A bullet went through his hat and
piece of shell took the heel off his right
shoe during the engagement at Ell Caney.
He is socialist and says that he never lack
ed for congenial company in the army and
never suffered for any lack of socialstic lit
erature He has been very interested
spectator of what is going on here, and we
predict that his turbulent career will yet Sc
renely settle into the peaceful currents OF
colony life
The Olalla comrades have sent us a box of
Equality" cigars. Equality" is the best
sc cigar ever smoked. Homemade, hand
made union made, long filler Sumata wrap
per, etc. The gift would be greatly enjoyed
did those with cultivated tastes enjoy free
access to it, as it is the cigars are placed on
sale and the gift stripped of all its ideal fea-
lures has become u naked commercial mat
ter Some people here seem to think that
cooperation consists in the community appro-
priation and sale of everything. Supt. Ault
is the meanest man in fourteen states, and it
will be cold day when the smokers of Equal
inv tba of the -SrOO<prS
this nice and easy way. This box of cigars is
boycotted. 1t is bad enough to see the prin-
ciple of "cost the limit of price" violated
under any circumstance and surely it would
seem easy of application in colony in the
distribution of a gift. In any event until it is
regarded the virtuous persons who would turn
our vices to their profit will find themselves
obliged to wait and to sell these 'goods" to
outsiders before they realize.
Wednesday afternoon, May 9th. Mrs. ID.
Burgess and Mrs. Bge Eddy met with an ac-
cident while driving home from Edison. 1t
seems that one of the tn ills became loosen
ed from where it is fastened into the axle ard
dangling frightened the horse which ran
away and dragged the blackboard sideways
by the remaining thrill, until the wheels
broke down and the women were thrown vio-
lently out. Fortunately the breakdown oc-
Cured just in front of the Hatchery and help
was Immediately available. Word was sent
t. Equality and team sent over Mrs. Bur-
CESS was able to come home when the team
arrived and aside from some bruises about
the head which has left dscolOration un-
der the left eye and a general shaking up
she was not seriously injured and is about at
tending to business as formerly. Mrs. Eddy
however was unconscious when picked up
and not able to be moved home. She was in
jured about the head and back: at first it was
feared seriously, but after remaining a week
the guest of Mr.. and Mrs Hannah, she was
able to undertake the journey and is now at
home, and we are happy to report rapidly
recovering.
The highest tide of the season is l. let
inches. At $50 a. m Sunday. May 2Sth, we
had IL feet , inch tide. This is pretty high,
or feet marking the ordinary flow. Time
and tide are the two important factors, in all
of Capt Gunnison's maritime calculations.
Several of our lads and lassies have long
wanted a sail on the Progress, but her ability
capt. could not accommodate the great crowd
of applicants. 1t was known, though that
Bro. Sanustrom would soon finish the boat he
was building, and sure enough she was ready
for launching Saturday afternoon The boat
being done eed time and tide being favora.
BILE, the captain announced, 'tbose who wish
can assemble at the landing DIT the early hour
specified and enjoy for brief while the ex-
perience of life on the ocean wave. Twenty
seven of us assmbled accordingly and while
the weather was not what he predicted it
would be. "the finest in the history" yet the
sail to Chuckanut Bay was greatly enjoyed
as was the lunch and the few hours along the
rocks at Clayton Point. The waters have
sculptured most beautiful and most fantastic
shapes in the sand rock, and no mind at all
sensible to the wierd and the grand can ex.
haust the beauties of the region in one day.
We hope for another excursion there on the
next favorable occasion. The captain says
the next occasion must be given over to the
children.
"Live Questions" may be regarded as the
authors apology. 1t is scarcely to he recon-
mended for the perusal of a reader in search
of entertainment but it contains good deal
of matter worthy the attention of people de-
string knowledge of the extreme point of
view, and the arguments used to support it
