About six ands&half million eggs
are now in the hatchery on the Skoko-
mish river. The first fish have hatch
ed out, it having been about sixty days
since the eggs were put into the hatch
cry. The time necessary for Matching
depends on the temperature of the
water. At the Baker Lake hatchery
where the water is very cold, it re-
quires 100 days. In warmer water
than this they may hatch in SIS days,
but are not so strong as those that take
90 days. All the eggs in the hatchery

A New Saw-Mill.

L. L. Hunter and w. B. Eaton left
for Tacoma and Seattle yesterday to
purchase the engine and machinery for
their new sawmill project, and will at
once begin the construction of a mill
on tract of timber lands owned by
the company near McEwen's prairie.
A stock company has been formed,
which concludes, besides the mill and
timber lands, the local store and other
interests of Messrs Hunter & Eaton,
and they haye ample capital to carry
out their project. The mill will be
saving lumber early in the season,
and those who have an idea of build
ing homes for themselves in Shelton
will now be able to secure their 1un-
Der as needed, and at a reasonable
price. The mill will be first class in
every respect, and will work up the
logs on the ground so that the expense
of hauling the finished product to
Shelton will not be as much as the log

structed with the view of removing it
to new tracts of timber, after the pre-
sent land is cut over, and the PROPOSE
ton will undoubtedly prove very pro-
fitable. Mr.. Eaton has had many
years of apprenticeship in the lumber
business in Iowa, and understands
how to handle sawnlill to the best
advantage. The JOURNAL is very
much pleased over the fact that at last
there is prospect of having some of
our lumber heritage manufactured at
home, employing labor and keeping
our cash to nome. When the Port
Angeles Eastern Railroad is completed
the new mill will be in position to sell
carload OF lumber East as we'll as
the next, and that means that there is
no limit to the prospects of the new
concern.

Runs Minus an Engineer.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Jan. 1.-The
overland limited on the Northwestern
Railway ran fifty miles last night
without an engineer. No one on the
train was conscious of the danger until
the fireman brought the train to a
standstill at Bertram. Near Mech an
icsvilIe Engineer E. ]. Fisk, in some
unknown manner tell from the cab
and the fireman did not notice his alb
sence until the train had whir1ed over
fifty miles. Fisk was picked up un-
conscious few hours later and died
in a hospital here tonight.
Engineer Fisk was brother of c..
W. Fisk, of Shelton, and had been a
favored employe of the railroad for
25 years, and was running on its fast
est trains. Mr.. Barrett, of. Hunter &
Eaton's was well acquainted with the
engineer and called Mr.. Fisk's atten-
ton to the dispatch yesterday. Engi-
neer Fisk was strictly temperate, and
never ran train on Sunday, the COM
pany arranging his runs to conform
to his wishes in this respect.

The ability to make a loaf of good
bread is an accomplishment which
every woman should possess before
she gets married. 1t is no use for
woman to think that she can hold a
mans affections very securely when
she feeds him on death slug biscuits,
soggy pie crust and burned or half
cooked meats. Men do not live to eat,
but they have to eat in order to live,
aud what they have to eat has much
to do with their temper, their piety
and their health. A woman should
take pride in being expert and ac-
complished in her cooking and the
care of her home, j st as man does
in being expert in his business or

Once week now South Bend is

routes are for sale. Last Sunday the
doors of all the saloons were closed
tight. The Pilot says, all the old
''chronics'' who don't read the paper
and neglected to lay in supply Of
booze" on Saturday night could be
seen early Sunday morning rafting
the saloon doors, splitting cotton and
cussing lazy barkeepers. AS time
wore on and there was no response to
these demonstrations, a scared look
came over their countenance and they
finally made cautious inquiries from
passersby as to whether there had
been sudden mortality among the
saloon keepers.
