FUNERAL OF F. w. POST.

| Father of John H. Post of This City.
| The late Frederic w. Post, Clinton's
Oldest inhabitant, whose funeral took
place last Monday afternoon in that
e. Post, was born In Clinton October
18, 1908. His entire life time had been
spent in the village of his nativity,
and he was in his day one Of the most
prosperous farmers In the township.
The Shore Line Times says of him: "Mr.
Post never sought public life. He was
one of those sterling, upright Christian
gentlemen of the old school who are be-
coming, each year, far too few. His
pleasure was derived from his quiet
home life and in watching the fruits of
his toll. He had served on the board
of relief but he cared very little for
politics. He married Mary Griswold of
Guilford, who survives him, as well as
two sons, f. E. Post, cashier of the
Clinton National bank, and John Fl.
Post of Edwards street, New Haven.
Mr.. Post had been a remarkably active
naH IOr MS years up 10 SHort lllne
before his death. His mental faculties
were also unimpaired About June / he
was taken with chill; these followed at
intervals until his vital forces were ex-
hausted and death followed
The funeral services We're very large

son, E. E. Post, on Monday afternoon

many years been a member, officiat-

HOW ROBERTS TRAPPED cRoNJE

tain extent Cronje was right-the rail-
way was vital to us. 1t would have
been terrible situation with sixty
thousand men and ten thousand horses
to feed in the Free State capital and
bring up all the necessary supplies by
convoy across the veldt. Nothing was
of greater moment than to secure the
railways. For this purpose Lord Rob
erts had to hoodwink two other Boer
leaders, both sharp men-General Ad-
vocate De Wet and General De la Rey

position and force. 1t was necessary to
keep these worthy men and their COM
mandoes on the railway, and actually

chief was ready to take II from them.
General French was operating before
Colesberg. He could have closed round
Dom Paul's birthplace. We were an
cry with him for not doing It, 1t now
appears that these operations were
merely felnt. They frightened the
Beers and made them bring several
thousand additional troops, considera-
bly, to the relief of neutrality-suspicious.

Want More Stringent Law.

The regulation of the use of fish traps
seines and nets in the waters of the
state will be one of the important is,
sues which will be up before the COM
ing legislature. Ex-senator w. H.
Kneelaud, of Shelton, who is here, SAYS
that the legislative delegations from
all the coast counties, save that of
Whatcom, favor more stringent laws
than those existing at present, and
many of the delegates desire the entire
elimination of the traps for a period
of time. Wl1atcom county finds one of
her chief sources of prosperity in the
cannery business, and consequen thy
looks with a charitable eye upon Il he
use of traps.
Mr.. Kneeland says that in Mason
and Kitsap counties the fish trap ques-
ton was principal local issue in the
political campaign. Fish are becom-
ing quite scarce in the in1ets, creeks
and passages in the vicinity of Shelton
and in all the waters of the upper
Sound, and the people believe their de-
pletion is due to the use of traps and
seines. The people of Grays harbor
and the Washington side of the Column
bia river, Mr.. Kneelaud says, are also
much averse to the use of traps.-Ta-

Mining IN the Olympics.

The returns from the analysis of the
rock recently sent to Seattle by the
Reed Brothers of Quilcene, are most
encouraging and Notwithstanding the
iateness of the season have caused
some thing of mining boom in the
Olympics in the Reed ledge, says the
Fort Townsend Leader.
About 100 pounds of rock taken from
depth of seventy feet was sent to Sc
attic for the purpose of having it thor
oughly analysis and when the returns
were received they showed that the
rock contained copper, gold and silver
to ton. The principal mineral in the
rock is copper, while from the favora-
BILE location of the ledge, for its econo-
mlcal working IT is thought that the
percentage of gold will be sufficient to
pay all the expenses of operating the
the property, thereby leaving the COP
per clear profit.
The analysis was shown to a few
and they lost no time in securing blank
location notices and proceeding to the
OF the discovery and locating extern
slons OF the Reed ledge, before the fall
ling OF snow and it is said that a large
number OF claims have already been
located and in the spring the mountains
Will be honey-combed with tunnels
and small army of prospector will
enter the held and if they do legitimate
and honest prospecting work it is be-
ieved that other valuable discoveries
will be made and that the Olympics
will become small sized Kloudike,
with the advantage that their findings
can be worked the year round, with
little or no Inconvenience.
The Reed property is situated in the
Olympic mountains back of the head
of Port Discovery bay.
