will carry 100000 cubic feet of water per
minute to the ississippi.-Exchange.
The Chicago drainage canal cost the
city $33, 100000. Chicago made this vast
expenditure for pure water, and the man

been carried to completion reflects lasting
credit upon the sanitary trustees.-Chica-

The people are beginning now to get a
small return from their expenditure of

to the bulletins of the health department

water is in bad condition and must be
boiled. The pure water era is near at
hand.-Chicngo Tribune.

Skookum bay during the fall. met an
accidental death Monday afternoon.
The camp was putting in its last logs,
and Dea went on the beach after din
ner alone to dislodge two logs and roll
them into the water. The last log was
crooked and tor some reason Dea was
in front of it, when it started and rol-
led over his body. His cries for help
were heard by the teamster, who found
Dea partly in the water unable to get
up. He was taken to his home near
by, and DR.. Wells sent for, but he was
so badly crushed that he died soon
after the doctof arrived.
Dea Williams was born in Jeddo,
Missouri 81 years ago, and came to the

An Early Pioneer Gone.

The early pioneers of Washington
are fast passing to the great beyond
and before many years the restless ex
piorers, who blazed the pathway
through the then wilderness to thu
present state of Washington, will il
the course of nature, have crossed the
great divide.
On Sunday, December 9, 1900, at 9:3(
p. m. Hon. John Campbell, an esteemed
citizen of Chehalis county, died at hi.
late residence in Montesano, aged II
years months and days. The fun.
eral took place yesterday from thu
residence of Fl. M. Sutton, son-in-la
of the deceased, and the remains were
followed by large number of friend.
to their last resting place in the Mon
tesano cemetery. His wife and three
children, Fred L., William Duncan and
Miss Agnes Campbell survive te
mourn the loss of loving husband
| and kind indu1gent father.
John Campbell was born in Scotland
July 5, 1880. His parents died wher
he was quite young. and, at IA years OF
age he went to sea, sailing from Glas.
cow Fifteen months afterwards he re-
turned to Lett having circumnavigated
the globe. He continued to follow the
sea for seven years, serving in every
capacity from cabin boy to first mate.
His last voyage was to Bombay, and
while on the passage home from that
port, he called at the Island of ST.
Helena where he learned of the Aus
trai1an gold discoveries, and on reach
ing Liverpool he resigned his commits
sion and started to Australia, where he
was engaged in mining for the next
seven years. Hearing of the discovery
of gold on Fraser river he determined
to try his luck in America, and arrived
IN San Francisco IN 1889, and contin-
ued northward to Olympia.
Noting the agricultural possibilities
of this country, he concluded to aban-
don his mining projects and settled
upon government land near Kamilche,
Mason county, and sent for his sweet
heart. Miss Mary Duncan, a Scotch
girl with whom he had become ac-
quainted with in Melbourne, Australia
and was married on May II, 1860
For the next twenty years they resided
on the Kamilche farm, Mr.. Campbell
varying his work by teaching school
at times. In 1880 they exchanged
this property for farm in this county,
near. Summit, where they lived ouutil
1885, when the family moved to Elma
and Mr.. Campbell engaged in n1ercan-
tile business. In 1892 they moved to
Montesano, where he lived a retired
life. devoting himself to the care OF
his wife, who has been an invalid
since 1884.
Although in no sense of the word a
politician, Mr.. Campbell was frequent
ly selected by his fellow citizens to fill
positions of trust, and, in Mason county
was county commissioner for two terms,
and served as school superintendent.
In Chehalis county he filled the Office
OF probate judge, and was several
times elected justice of the peace for
Montesano. He was staunch mem
