Prompt action on the part of n .
Whealdon prevented what would have
certainly been a serious runway and
knocked the Mountaineer out of good
item yesterday afternoon. One of the
| Nell brothers, of Klickitat county. left
| four horse team standing in front of
| Maier & Benton's store while he went
in to make some purchases. The
team got tired of waiting and started
| up the sire ct on walk and as they
passed Mr.. Wbealdon's office they be-
gan to increase their pace. Mr..
WhealdOn jumped into the wagon and
succeeded in getting hold of the lines
just as the team were taking long
breath and making ready for a grand
rush. He got them stopped withou
difficulty in front of Charles Stephens
store. Had he failed to get hold of the
lines when he did he would have been
in very uncomforta position. in
short notice, and we might have had an
obituary instead of this short men
ton.
Representative Jones, of North
Yakima, received a dispatch Sunday
from Senator Foster, now in Washing.
to get their aocks off the Rainier re.
serve by the 25th. The senator had
failed to have the time extended as he
expected. A letter to Mr.. Jones from
Secretary Hitchcock stated that the
sheepraisers are on the reserve in
violation of the law, which will be en-.
forced to the letter. He says the
superintendent issued permits Without
authority and will be asked to explain
his action. Mr.. Jones will meet the |
sheep raisers the 23d. and plan for |
legislation this wi ! ter will be prepared
Closing the reserve so early will cause |
the sheepmen much loss and incon- I
venience, as the season is not ended. |
The seeep raisers expect to winter
their focks in Yakima and in the
spring either sell out or move to Mon
taDa or Idaho. unless favora BILE legisla-
ticn can be secured.

AT 4:l5 A. M, precisely at the hour
appointed, a captain of the municipal
guards raped at the door OF Fort

expectation, and then the door opened.
M. Guerin calmly presented himself,
meekly surrendered. and was driven to
the police depot in an opened cab,
seated beside the captain of the guards.
His companions were allowed TO go
free. Thus the six week siege ended

THE IRON HORSE

Stockholm correspondence Baltimore
American: | believe | can lay claim to the
distinction of being the first American to
travel over the new railroad that mas at
last penetrated into the heart Of the Lap
landers' county. The Lapps nave been
dreading this INVASION of their primitive
territory by the iron horse for a o time
past, and, at last, the bolt has fallen, and
the Swedish State railway, running now
right up into the Artic circle, has opened
up a country with which few white men
are acquainted. AS the entertainments of
civilization have reminded the Lapps
that the greedy race that claimed a high
err civilization would not be kept at a re-
spectacle distance, the natives, like the
North American Indians, have retired be-
fore the onward sweep of civilization, and
nave gone further and further north. Now
they nave settled down to the belief that
they are 6oomed to determination and
that the inevitable end is near.
The Laplanders have little sympathy
with the advanced methods of travel.
Shooting rapids and navigating rivers in
their own peculiar boats, or tramplng
through the Notwithstanding forests,
they were boisterously happy, and no one
criticised them in bygone times. for their
mode of traVel was not fancied by the
average tourist. A<oW, Hu"cNcI, luc Adpp
and his customs can be studied at close
range, and within the sound OF the rail-
road whistle.
It is a picturesque sight to see the lap
landers in their encamDment with their
deer around them. For a race living in
similarly primitive way it is necessary
to go to the Klondike, for in that region
the conditions of life and the structure of
the country are very similar, and the re-
~;n, 1t@c IN Tho ny 1nftfrda This fact
should be borne in mind by Americans,
for there are future possibilities that the
Laplanders' country may prove to be an
other Klondike. The Lapps themselves
seem to have very little love for gold.
Whatthey want are the ordinary. necessa-
ries of life and the privileges of being al
lowed to live in their own wild way far
from the iron rail. This does not deter
them. however, from coming down to the
terminus of the new road to barter the
gold ore that they know those who visit
their country on the iron road owe so well,
or to make a bargain to guide a party
that penetrates to their homes to the spot
where the gold can be found.
Whoever accepts the offer of the Lap
lander to be guided to the region of gold
is treated with consideration. and finds
that the Lapp. in his W home, is not at
all a bad fellow, albeit somewhat dirty
and given to herding rather too much
after the fashion that one has been accus-
toned to associate solely with cattle.
The Lapp huts or tents are generally
about - feet across-not much room for
a man and his wife and children, and SER
wants, and dogs, n visitors to find a
place in: but every one has his own spec
ial spot in which to sit or lie down in, and
no one invades the others territory.

in San Domingo that the island is prac-
tically %mortgaged to them. In view of
this fact it is surmised that if the o n
gress of San Domingo should request an
nexation to this country, it would, doubt
less. receive favorable consideration. for
annexation would afford the safest and
surest protection to the vast amount of
American capital invested in the island.
If annexation shall not be wanted. then
this country will be somewhat concerned
about the next best step to be taken to
protect the interests of it's citizens.

Gomez for the presidency of San Do

the easily obtainable. AS the Arab gets
everything from the Nile, the Lapp gets
everything from the reindeer, and, per-
maps, one ought to add, the birch tree.
Even the bones and sinews of the deer are
USED. You see a white mass OF these lat
ter hung in the trees, and wonder what
good they are; but they are chewed by
the women until the threads are divided,
ana then drawn out, and they make ex-
cellent sewing material, especially for
boots. A Lapp boot .doubly sew and
knotted with this sinew is entirely inn
pervlous to wet. Alongside the sinews,
perhaps. hangs a lump of dried reindeer
ilesh that cuts into rosewood-like shaw
lnSs, nut has not at all a bad flavor.
Ihe women folk of the Lapps are by no
means prepossessing. Their wrinkles are

low tanned faces; blu the young girls are
often s%prightly. and. in spite OF the Mon
golian flat visage. not without a pleasant
ar. and some of the sad, plaintive little
songs they sing are quantity melodious.
The boys are imps in mischief and in APP

CHINESE DUDE

Denver Post: Pom Wee, an almond
eyed Celestial. can congratulate himself
on the distinction of being the cause Of
United States District Attorney Whit
ford's overruling by Judge Hallet in the
United States district court this morning.
Pom Wee had an attorney, and Pom
Wee was in court, smiling and attentive.
he IS not of the vim ~ord.naire, as a
Frenchman would observe, but is a most
remarkable Chinese, from every point of
view. His long black queue is rolled neat
~ on the back of his head. and he wears
a white dotted blue ribbon around his
rough straw hat. His clothes fit him as if
they We're fashioned by a tailor. and ne
has an affection for negiigee ties, made
from handanna handkerchiefs. Don't
smile-for that is all the fad in the east.
Pom Wee was arrested some weeks ago
on the suspicion that he is a laborer M
stead of a merchant. AS the government
is very strict about Chinese aborers be-
ing in this country, and Pom Wee could
SHOW no papers, he was taken before
United States Commissioner Capron.
Ihen it was, to the aston.shment of the
federal officials, the court room was flied
with society women and Pom Wee a
witness after witness who testified how
he went to the Sunday school conducted
as an adjunct of Trinity NJ. T.. church for

the dainty way with which he sold dainty
CHINA and articles of his native land to
fair American customers.
Inc commissioner recommended his
discharge, and did discharge him but the
United States district attorney. convinced
of his guilt. held him in bail, answerable
to the United States district court. An or
der of deportation out of the country
was drawn up and was ready for presen-
tatlon to Judge Hallet this morning.
Pom Wees attorney came into court.
He explained matters. with the conclu-
sion:
The United States district attorney
intends to prosecute the matter. and has
had an o:der of deportation drawn I'M.
The United States commissioner. after
hearing the evidence, recommended his
discharge"
Where is the district attorney" asked
Judge Hallet.
He is not in his office, nor can he be
found.
"D.scharge the C~hinaman," said tha
court, and Pom Wee expressed his pleas
ure to one of his fair American. friends
who sat by him in court by kissing her
hand, to the astonished stare of the bail
ifs.
