Geo. E. Higgins of Olympia has made
application at the U. S. Patent Office TO,
letters patent upon device for uprootins
trees, of which he is the sole inventor
Mr.. higgins is master mechanic and
railroad engineer, and his experience in
clearing land in this timbered country led
him to plan method of pulling stumps in
stead OF the laborious plan of digging them
out by hand, or the expensive plan of blow
ing them up with blasting powder. His
lnventlon-which is remarkable and UNIQUE
IN its contemplates making each tree
pull Its own stump. 1t is device consist
ing OF a heavy steel link. with, bolts and
chains, to be fastened at the back or the
upper side of the tree in such way that
when the tree is cut down its own weight
will uproot the stump. 1t is believed that
this invention will be great value and pro-
mt, as the device is SO simple that the cost
VIII be comparatively slight. while the
benetlt in reducing the cost of clearing land
will be great enough to insure a comforta-
bic margin of profit Olympia Chronicle.

The Memorial Exercises.

Rev. W. B, McMillin delivered be-
fore the old veterans of the G. A, r.
one of the finest sermons they have
heard for many year, IN the Hail last
Sunday, and one which they certainly
appreciated. The exercises were well
attended, and the members of the G. A.
X. were out in full force. A special
choir rendered some splendid music
appropriate to the occasion.
On Decoration day, members of the
Shelton Post met in front their hall, and
marched to the Hall, preceded by the
Band, which had been revived for the
occasion. and furnished some excellent
music. The exercises began with
America" in which all joined, and
then followed selections by the choir,
and invocation by Rev. w. B. McMil-
lin. Then Prof G.. B. Gunderson de-
livered an able and scholarly address
on the "Heroic Dead" the veterans OF
1865 and 1898, and the grand achieve
ments of our army and navy, inspired
by the patriotism and love for liberty
that has ever animated the American
people. The large audience listened
throughout the hour with wrapt atten-
ton and appreciation.
AT the close Master of Ceremonies
w. G. Rex spoke briefly, asking that
the people grasp each of the old veter-
ans present by the hand, possibly for
the last time, and it was done. Led
by the band the march was taken up
for the cemetery where the graves of
all were buried in flowers, and the
closing exercises were given. While
the weather had been uncertain, it
was pleasant during the hour at the
cemetery.

he would jump out quickly and hold her.

John McReavy, of Union City, is quest
at the Donnelly, says Sunday Ledger. Mr.
MGR eavy is engaged in the lumber manu-
ia curing business at Union City and is
well known all over the state, but especial
ly on the western coast, as he has lived in
this part of the state many years. 1t was
back in 1860 that he represented Pierce
and Mason counties in the state legislature
and the following year. for the legislature
met annually in the early days, he repre-
scented Pierce, Mason and Chehalis coun-
ties in the senate. or council, as it was
called in the territorial days Mr.. Nc
Reavy is occasionally drawn to Tacoma
on business, although he finds time to greet
old acquaintance. Mr.. McReavy states
that Union City is in a prosperous condi-
ton and coming to the front Business in
numbering is satisfactory and the town is
anxiously waiting the time when railroad
| will be built through there. There is talk
now that the project of the Port Angeles &
Eastern company will soon begin the work
of completing its line, and when this is
done Union City will have the desired
railroad connection with the rest of the
world As soon as the road may be COM
pleted it is possible a greater quantity OF
shingles may be produced in that territory.
All shingle now producedthere that are tc
points in the East have first to be shipped
by water to Seattle and then be transferred
to rail connection, thus adding AZ item Of
expense to the manufacturer that is ( hard
to bear, in competition with mills that are
able to load at the yard. Mr.. McReavy
will probably remain in the city over Sun
