DiSpenSary and Beer Racket.

Yesterday Mr.. II. b. Howie
opened beer diSpensary with
Walker Carroll as clerk. Dur
ing the afternoon Mr.. Joseph \.
Walker swore out a warrant for
both Of them for maintaining "A
nuisance in violation OF the dis
pensary law. They were arrested
this morning and the stock seized.
The preliminary hearing was set
for tomorrow morning. Thisspro-
ceedlng was on the advice of II.
b. Caldwell. Esq.
Now w. III. Newbold, Esq,
counsel for Messrs. HOwie and
Carol, has sworn out "A warrant
against Messrs. ID. b. Refo and
j. w. WIx, the county dispenser
and his clerk, for maintaining a
nuisance. Warrants will be
served tomorrow morning. Mr..
Newbold claims that HOWE and
Refo stand on precisely the same
ground. We are unable to see
how he expects to justify his po
sition, as there is no charge that
Refo has been violating the dis
pensary law, whereas that is the
ground Oh which the action
against HOWE is based. But we
shall see what we shall see

On Saturday night about 10
o'clock Mr.. Walker and HOWE
had quarrel, and the former
was shot in the left arm and over

brought on by the above stated
facts, in regard to Howie having
opened up beer dispensary. I'm.

A LETTER FROM DEARBURN.
A Flsherman's Lunch Superior to a
Banquet In a Gi1ded Hall.

Dearburn is somewhat scarce but
as you have not heard from us
very recently l will try and tell
you some of the happenings.
Dearburn is a fine place or at
least some of us think so. Well,
the May picnic which is held
every year at the Catawba falls,
is now a thing of the past. |
think every one enjoyed it even
more than they did the preceding
one as there was not such large
crowd and too it was such a
pleasant day. | know there were
several boys who went home very,
very happy after hearing that
dear old word Eyes" whispered in
their ears. Our neighborhood
was indeed revived on this
occasion as we had several of the
fair sex with us from Lancaster.
Misses Sue Green and jamie Hick-
lin were visiting their aunts, Mrs.
Ella GLADDEN. and Mrs. w. L.
Mccullough. Miss Sue NJ. Gooch
was also visiting Mrs. GLADDEN..
OF course where girls are, boys
will be, but alas! who can blame
them. One of the girls was at
Mrs. Gladden's week and IA GER
tain young man from Rocky
Mount was with her every day.
Ha ha. good pluck don't you
think to linger so long. The
same young man went over and
visited her in a few days after
this and lost his coat but luckily
for him it was found. He says
he is going back again soon ; must
be getting some encouragement
don't you think! Are. we going
to lose one of our boys over there,
or better still. are we to gain one
of your charming girls for "A
neighbor? | wish we would for
our neighbors are scarce.
The farmers are getting on nice
iy with their crops. Corn and COT
ton looks well. Corn looks bet
ter than | have ever seen it con-
sidering the dry weather. The
small grain crop is almost fail
ure; Capt. Gladden's looks well.
Gardens are fine for the dry
weather. We have peas, onions,
beats, irish potatoes, lettuce and
cabbage to eat yet, of course, they
are not very fine.
Brother McWaters is very busy
fighting the wire grass but if it
can be killed he will certainly do
it. Brother Jones who is one OF
our smartest neighbors, is now
fixing to erect new store house
on his upper place. 1t keeps
"old DaiSe" going early and com
ing late you know his four chill
dren are all girls. But won't he
have boys to bother with enough
in "A few years.-"every Sunday
down to their home they will
come"
We attended a biz fish stew
down at the river not long since
it makes me feel poetical to visit
snch a place, especially in the
lovely month of May.
The blssful days have come,
The gladdest of the year,
OF purpling hills and fragrant blooms
And rivers bright and clear.

- ABSClu1EN PURE
Makes the food more delicious and wholesome
Tourist Travel is Immense.

One OF the most striking features o.
the peculiar shipping situation in the
Northwest is the phenomenal excur-
sion business to Alaska. 1t has never
been approached in volume since. the
beauties of the Northern ford indented
coast were first brought before the
travelling public. It is still hardly
midsummer in the general acceptation
of the term, and nearly 1000 people
have left Tacoma for Glacier Bay.
Berths are taken ahead for weeks and
it is considered sure thing by trans
portation men that every steamer
until bad weather closes the season
will have all the passengers she can
carry. The Cottage City began the
excursion trade this year on May 80,
and made two trips with 200 passen-
gers on each. The City OF Topeka has
taken the same number. The Queen
has made two sailings from Tacoma
with 800 passengers each time. The
City of Seattle has made two trips,
carrying $50 first class passengers
each time.
The Pacific Coast Steamship COM
pany began the season seriously handi-
capped by lack of steamers. The City
of Puebla was retained IN transport
service and it was impossible to take
the Queen off the San Francisco run,
although she is usually advertised as
the company's Alaska boat. The Cot
tage City and City of Topeka attempt
ed to manage the business, but were
utterly unable to. do so. Berths were
/ filled several weeks ahead and it was
almost impossible for passengers not
making arrangements through the
head Office at San Francisco TO get
transportation.
Finally the Queen was secured and
has been filled just as quickly as the
smaller boats. Then Dodwell & Co.,
always quick to realize every point in
the transportation situation, saw they
were making mistake in running the
City of Seattle from Seattle, where
she had to depend on the mining
travel, and running her from Tacoma,
put her in the Glaaier Bay excursion
business. Although it was new de-
parture for this company, which has
not the advantage Of extensive excur-
sion advertising like the Pacific Coast,
the venture was successful, and the
City of Seattle has sailed twice with
all first-class accommodations taken.

Wives by Express.

The Klondike has been a record
breaker in many respects, but in none
more than in devising novel methods,
as we'll as innovations upon old meth
DDS, of transportation. The other day
two business men at Dawson, who can
not come out without neglect of their
interests, sent down to have their wives
forwarded by express to that city. AS
a. result the City of Seattle, on her last
trip northward took as express pack
ages Mrs. F. ]. Mullarkey, of Issaquab,
and MrsaL. T. Jones of Eastern Wash
ington, to their husbands in Klondike.
The ladies are literally speaking sent
as express matter, and the Nugget ex-
press, for a stipulated sum of money,
is conveying these ladies and their
children, one each, to Dawson. Null
larkey and Jones sent instructions to
the company's agents at Seattle to
undertake the task, which involved
notifying the wives of their husbands
desires. This was done and an express
messenger accompanies the women,
handles their baggage and acts as es-
cort, and otherwise looks after their
comfort en- route. When they reach
Dawson he will take a receipt from the
consignees.-Standard.

The state supreme court, in decis-
ion handed down last week, upholds
the right of municipal corporations to
require license from peddlers, auc-
tioneers and their ilk. The case was
appealed from Walla Walla, by James
M. Ferdon as a test of the city ordin-
ance licensing venders of medicines,
drugs and nostrums, and requiring $50
day for prosecuting such business.
The court sustained the right to inn
pose such regulations in the following
language: "While municipal cor
poration, such as the city OF Walla
Walla, may not arbitrarily declare a
lawful trade or business nuisance, yet
the manner of conducting it may be
regulated and it may be licensed when
so regulated"

From the Atlantic to the Pacific

The Brigantine Harriet G. now load
ing lumber at the North Western mill
in Hoquiam, is the only vessel of her
class that has been in the harbor for
some years.
There is quite history attached to
the Harriet G. During the Alaska
gold excitement in the spring OF 1897,
she was sailing from Atlantic ports in
the foreign trade, but was purchased
by fourteen New York people 10 make
the trip to Alaska around the Horn.
She left New York on Thanksgiving
day, (Noy. %, 1890 and reached San
Francisco on the Oath day of May,
1898, making the run in l49 days,
which is very good time.
From Frisco she carried q full cargo
and 81 passengers to st. Michaels, ar
irving late in July, 1898. The trip
was fortunate one for her owners, as
the freight an passengers fares paid
the full purchase price of-the ship and
a dividend of 33 per cent besides.
Capt. Wayland has full charge ol
the vessel now, for the owners are scat
tered from the Yukon to New York
City. They had built in Grand Rapids
Mich. one of the fastest steamers ever
placed on the Yukon, which was sup
piled with powerful gasoline engines
When they were ready to leave st
Michaels for Dawson, the engineer
opened the tIsro.tle, but she would moi
move, and all the mec hanics and engi
neers in the harbor could not get the
engine to move; finally they abandon.
ed the steamer and secured tug to
tow her to Rampant City where the
cargo was sold and the steamer laid up.
The engine was sold in Seattle for
scrap iron.
Since then the Harriet G. has been
in the coasting trade, and just came
up from Potero, Costa Rica, in ballast
to load lumber and take small gener-
al cargo to the Island Of New Berlin
in the East indies Montesano Vi

Buying into the Railroad.

There is more new blood in the or
ganization of the Port Angeles Eastern
Railroad Comp ny this week, says the
Tribune Times.
Messrs Geo. O. Fogg, Frank II Carl
is g and David w. Craig, of Boston,
the capitalists who accompanied Presi-
dent Gushing on his return, have be-
come so thoroughly impressed with
the Olympic peninsula as good busi-
ness proposition-as do all men of
means and acumen who investigate it
that they have promptly decided to
in vest, and as result the interests in
the original corporation formerly held
by Mr.. Charles HI. Young, Of Maine,
and Mr.. Join Lehman, of Chicago,
have been transferred to them.
These gentlemen will not only take
an interest financially in the railroad
enterprise but will all three become
more or less actually engaged in the
conduct of its affairs. The thorough
investigation they have made OF Port
Angeles and Clallam county during
the past two weeks, of the resources,
prospects and possibilities that lie in
the wake of railroad development,
have led them to unqualiiedly endorse
the Port Angeles Eastern project, and,
as already stated, to interest their
time, their talents and their capital
therein This means that several
wealthy connections, other than the
ones originally interested, have and
will become identified with the enter
prise making its success, already as
sured, doubly sure.

OF ALL men in the United States at
the present moment, probably John
Barrett. former Uulted States minister
to Siam, is the one best qualified by
personal knowledge to discuss the
Philippine situation. Mr.. Barrett has
spent the past five years in the far
East. Long before the Spanish war
he had travelled over large portion of
Luzon and had visited the islands in
other Philippine groups. In May, 1898
after Dewey had annihilated Spain's
fleet in Manila Bay, Mr., Barrett re-
turned and remained in the vicinity
of Manila for seven months. Finally,
after the fighting with the Filipinos
began in February he came back to
the scene of hosti:ities, and only left
to set sail for America in the middle
of March. Mr.. Barrett contributes to
the Review of Reviews for July sum-
mary of his impressions after all these
months of experience and observation.
The article is highly opportune and
significant.
