rimac. the name OF whose commander I
do not now recollect. Gen. BeaureEard
was In charge of tho reboi troops at
Hampton Roads. March =, ls@. Just be-
fore the battle came on the rebels from
the Merrimac sent to the Monitor boys
the following couplet:
with mortar, pix and petard
We tender Old Abe our Beauregard."
The battle came or which resulted In
a grand victory for the Monitor and the
rebel boat was disabled and the rebels
badly defeated; after which the boys
under Commodore Foote sent the rebels
the following couplet In answer to theirs:
''The rebels all routed and flying with
fear,
We tender 'oid Jen' our Foote in his
rear"
The aptness and wit of the reply at
tracted my attention at once. and !
forthwith committed the couplets to
memory, and win never forget them.

DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION.
Port orchard, Jan. Is, ~

Port Orchard, Jan. Is, 1900.
To the Editor: The great injustice done
the gentleman referred to in the article
from the governor, which appears in the
Post-Intelligencer of Saturday last under
the heading. Rogers Defends Goddard"
leads us to make the following statement
of the facts in the Peter christensen case,
and the public announcement of the gov
ernor that he had made an investigation
and was satisfied leads US to make this
public demand for thorough inyestlga-
ton.
The following is a statement of the facts
in the Christensen case.
First let 1t be said there Is such a man
as described in the interview of the COVER
nor in the employ of the county treasurer.
The first public announcement or notice
of the escape of christensen from the asy-
lum came when the county auditor re-
ceived the letter written to Mrs. Christian
sen under date of December 10, 1899 which
has been already published In the Port
Intelligencer. which was forwarded to him
by Mrs. Christensen, with request for In
formation how to proceed to find her hus-
band.
This communication was laid before the
board of county commissioners at their
regular meeting on January the "a, 1900,
and they, finding they had no Jurisdiction
in the matter. referred 1t to the prosecut-
ing attorney, one of the undersigned, and
he, WITH tne duullOf, aIteF an eXaInlnd-
ton of the law, went to the clerks office
to make an investigation, with the result
as already stated, the finding of a dis
charge dated the same date as the letter
to Mrs. Christensen.
A representative of the Post-Inteligencer
being at the county seat few days after
the occurrence of the above Incidents, they
were given to him and the article in the
observation-disclosures of January 10th fol-
lowed; and that article was the first inti-
nation to the man referred to by the gov
ernor of the escape of Christensen, and
he was in no sense the instigator of the
charges, let him hold what grudge he may
against DIR. Goddard.
DIR. Goddard, however it is quite appars
ent, remembered the threats made by this
man, and he Immediately seized upon this
opportunity to find a loophole of escape for
his neglect of duty; for his own reply to the
charge admits a neglect of duty in this, that
he does not pretend TO say that he ever
notified the judge or committing magistrate
of the escape of Christensen.
All communications ever received by any
of the undersigned from the hospital have
been enclosed in an envelope bearing the
return card of the same, and If DR.. God
dard mailed Mrs. Christensen the letter
| Immediately after the escape Of her hus-
| band, and she did not receive 1t, as he SAYS
| he now feels satisfied she did not, what
| became of the letter? Was 1t returned to
| the hospital?

n Good Ranch.
Garfield Enterprise.
John Masterman has purchased, through
Sparks Bros, the Antoine Lorentz farm OF
1850 acres for $500. This land Is situated
four miles west Of town, well improved
and in splendid state OF cultivation.
The transfer In the ownership Of this
land shows what pluck will accomplish In
the Palouse country. Six years ago Mr..
Masterman arrived In Tekoa practically
broke, his brother paying his fare there
from the East. He rented farm at once
and went to work, laying UP a snug little
sum each year until he had acquired the
necessary wherewithal to purchase the
Lorentz farm.
Since diversified farming has been the
leading topic in Eastern Washington OF
late, Mr.. Masterman did not accumulate
his savings altogether by raising wheat.
He realized handsomely from hogs. poul-
try. butter and vegetables.

ORIGIN OF THE NAME "HoauIAM.'
When the Trees Died, Indians Called
the River "HunGry Wood"
IIonufaun yVaahtn 0fnpfaD

The origin of the name ''Hoqutam' has
been misunderstood by some writer's. The
name is of Indian origin and is very sug-
gestive from the circumstances that
prompted 1t, and are as follows: The
upper valley Of the river was once partly
covered with groves Of cedar. and from
some cause these cedar trees had all died.
The bark and sap had all fallen of and
the sound bodies OF the trees were left
standing. as they seldom or never rot.
The Indians believed that the trees had
starved TO death and from that circum-
stance named the river 'Hoquiamts,"
meaning Hungry Wood" hence the name.
