OVER 1000 SOLD.
Christian EndeavOr Calendar At
tracing Widespread Attention.

The Christian Endeavor souvenir calen-
dar is already attracting attention out
side the state An order for twenty of
them has come from San Francisco. This
makes over 1000 sold. At this rate they
will all be gone before another week
passes. The First Washington is not only
famous in this state, but It's gallant deeds
are known throughout the country.
Artillery knoll, a scene pictured In the
calendar, was a very important point in
the first two days fighting of the insur-
rection.
A squad of twenty men of the Washing
ton regiment under Lieut.. Lamping, was
stationed there to repell any attack upon
the battery. The main body of the regi-
ment was about a mile to the left, at
which point Capt. Adams made his raid
on Pace church and village and captured
or killed all the insurgents; and nearby
Capt. Fortson, in command of Companies
r, F, G. and I. made the famous charge
across Concordia creek and open rice
fields, up the perpendicular sides of
knoll twenty-five feet high, upon which
the Filipinos We're strongly intrenched
completely routing them, killing thirty
three besides many wounded and taken
prisoners. Artillery knoll was afterwards
the burying ground OF the American SOL
diers, and on June Of this year 2S4
mounds marked the last resting place of
as many American soldiers.
The last picture of the calendar rep
resents Gen. Kings farewell address to
the First Washington. The high tributes
paid the brave volunteers by Gen. King
have often been quoted, and need no repe-
tition here.

r. Yoneda. Japanese art and silk mer-
chant of New York, arrived at the North
ern yesterday enroute to Japan, where ne
will purchase complete stock OF goods.
'In previous years." he said in an inter-
view, II have had all Of my goods come
by way OF European ports for the reason
that we could get them cheaper than BY
paying the heavy freight charged by the
railroads crossing the United States from
the Pacific.
1.-THE Japan chambers Of commerce have
addressed letters to all Japanese mer-
chants in America asking that, where pos
sible, they ship all their goods from Japan
across the Pacific to Seattle and then by
rail to destination. I am going to make
an experiment with this shipment and II
It can be delivered anywhere near as
cheaply az by the European route, / and
many other japanese merchants Will
bring our annual shipments, aggregating
in the total many millions Of dollars worth
of goods. through this port.
Japanese merchants are partial to Sc
attic in any case, as one Of our best lines
of steamships comes Here. II the Eastern
merchants are not successful in the effort
now being made to bring their shipments
by way Of Seattle, 1t will be wholly on
account Of their inability to secure q rate
OF freight that will be competitive with
that made by the Atlantic route.
There Is vast amount OF Japanese
goods sold in America. The prices are
not so high as a few years ago. but the
merchandise Is much better. To meet the
demands of the American people we have
been compelled to reduce the cost Of pro-
duction at home. Wages have been low
cred in Japan within the past two years,
but more steady employment Is given,
owing to the great volume Of high-classed
goods that are manufactured for sale In
America"

GOOD WORK OF ENGINEERS
Progress Made I'm Government Opcr-

Cant. Taylor.

Inc annual report of the chief of gov

Ing with the close of last June contains
some interesting matter relating to i'm
proyements of rivers and harbors in wash
angton, Idaho and Montana in the charge
OF Capt. Harry Taylor and Lieut. Meri-
wether l.. Walker. The work on the
Grays harbor jetty and clearing the Sound
rivers of snags on which progress was
made during the year mentioned is shown
as follows:
Grays Harbor and Bar Entrance-The
proposed plan Of improving Grays h,rbor
Is to control by means of a single ietty
extending out to sea from the point on
the south side of the harbor throat a
distance of three and a half miles, the
ebbing and flooding waters to a sufficient
extent TO concentrate and direct upon the
Grays harbor bar a much greater depth of
water than would otherwise go there 1t
IS expected that with the completion of
the jetty depth of twepty-four feet at
mean low water will be obtained across the
bar The Jetty is to be of rubblestone Quilt
above high-tide level. and the estimated
cost OF the work is $1,000,00O.
At the end Of last June tine jetty trestle
had been completed 5,la2 feet outside the
spit. the foundation Of the jetty had been
completed 1870 feet outside the high-water
line and partially completed forty-three
feet farther. The enrockment had been
finished 1,1O4 feet outside the high-water
line, And more or less rock had been placed
from that point to the end OF the founda-

failed utterly to get at the facts OF the
matter. owing to the mans historical con-
dition. However, on the ship he said
nothing about one Of the men drowned
having been his brother. He at first stat
ed that one man had been lost and later
that two were drowned.
All the tugs and a boat which was
promptly dispatched from the Corwin
searched about the scene Of the accident
for nearly an hour. but they found no
trace of either body.
The occupants of the boat appear to
have taken 1t without the authority of any
one. At least Olsen told one of the Off
GERS of the tug Mystic that they had done
so. Olsen, the survivor. has been with the
Corwin but month. He Joined the vessel
in this city after his return from the
North. and Seattle is supposed to be his
home.
