Standing upon a high wooded Hill.
within sight and sound Of the great
Kettle falls Of the Columbia river, and
overlooking the wide Marcus fiat. is an
ancient and long deserted mission. II
IL, without doubt. one Of the oldest
buildings OF the kind still left stand
ing N Washington. II was built In
1919 and 1874.
In Dimensions the building is about
+0xso feet. II is constructed entirely
Of hswed logs and Is practically two
stories high. Iron In those far-off.
primitive days was a scarce and ex-
pensive material. In the construction
Of this building no iron whatever was
used TO fasten the logs together. The
ends Of the logs at the corners OF
tho building and ut the doors and win
dows are all wedged and dovetailed
tn--really keyed together. Altogether
the architecture In rude. but very Sc
cure and solid.
C~eaaaaicssts Were ladisas.
For a great many years services
were held In this mission chapel by the
pioneer padres. All, or nearly all. the
communicates were indians. Years
ago the mission was abandoned and
Rrvfees have been held In the present
mission near Colvills. The primitive
building N very wcstherbeaten and
dtfkpidated.
The building fronts south. There Is
a wide portal ct tho front end: also
doors IN the east and west sides. well
toward the rear part OF the structure.
All the doors and windows are gone.
The rafters consist Of small hewed
timbers. Both at the top and bottom
the rafters are fastened together and
to the walls by mean OF stout wooden
pins driven In anger holes. The sheet

whipsaw. They. too. are securely
fastened to tho rafters by wooden
'pins.
The roof was made OF ordinary pine
clapboards riven with the old-fash-
Toned "frow." At the gable ends whip

building. fronting the old fireplace,
was originally divided into two rooms,
probably for the use Of the fathers.
The back Of tho fireplace Is both broad
and high. and fronted the main audi
ence room OF the building. 1t must
have served az the back of the sacred
altar. where masses and vespers were
celebrated. However. every trace OF
the altar has long since vanished. The
same can be said of the flooring. both
downstairs and above.

Nothing now remains of the old mis-
sion save the walls. rafters and part
OF the roof. The walls are intact;
also the upper timbers. More than half
OF the roof Itself IL gone. The boards
which stiil remain are moss covered
ana very much decayed. The pianks
at the gable ends are In the same con
diti0n. The only iron used about the
old building we're the nails which held
the boards OF the roof.
The logs Of the wall are still sound
especially on the interior sides. The
rafters and heavy hewed log joists are
apparently sound. Until within a few
years ago a large wooden cross stood
at. the front OF me building. rising
from the comb OF the roof; but that,
also, has disappeared.

the Foreign Trade of the Empire Of Japan,

It shows that the imports from the United
States have grown from 100000 yen In
1893 to over 60,O00,000 yen in 1900. and
that the United States, which stood sixth
Japan drew her imports in 1893, is now
second in the list, being only exceeded by
Great Britain.
In 1893 the imports into Japan from

British India. s.679,029 yen; from Hong
Kong, s,2ss,071 yen; from Germany, 7,a1s,-

United States supplied I per cent. Ger
many, Q per cent and the United King
dom, 80 per cent of the total imports into
21 per cent, Germany. 10 per cent, and the
United Kingdom, % per cent. Going still
further back. it may be said that in 1881
the United States supplied per cent and
imports.
The enormous increase in our exports to
Japan since 1893 is distributed among a
large number of articles. The japanese
figures show that imports Of sole leather
from the United States have increased
from 1873 567 yen in 1893 to 7S2.S62 yen In
1900; leather other than sole. from 41,O14
yen In 1893 to 1S5, 1856 yen in 1900: nails,
from 20.2O4 yen to I. AZ. .655 yen; iron pipes.
from 20. Ala yen to 1,24O,O2O yen; paraffine
wax, from 81 .651 yen to 40. .S5S yen; TIM
ber. from 16, TIT yen to 1853 .929 yen; electric
light machinery, from 90, 253 yen to 47S 215
yen. In a large number of cases the i'm
port list of 1893 makes no mention of GER
tain articles imported from the United
States which In 1900 show large importa-
tions. The fact. however. that the list Of
enumerated articles has been extended
since the adoption OF Japan's new tariff
suggests that general comparison of ia
pans purchases from the United States in
1900 compared with 1893 can better be
made from the export figures of the Unit
ed States. These show the value of the
principal exports from the United States
to Japan in the fiscal years 1893 and 1900

dispatch from Monticello, Fla, last

to death for the murder of Deputy Sheriff
Hawkins and sentenced to hang August 8,
made a dash for liberty at 80 o'clock this
afternoon. Deputy Sheriff R. H. Kilpat-
rick, with a trusty, had gone to the death
cell to give Williams his dinner. The pris-
oner. having secretly removed the shackles
from his ankles with cold chisel secured
by unknown means dashed out upon the
officer and seized his pistol and ordered
him to get in the cage.
Fitzpatrick sprang upon the murderer and
tussle ensued, in which the officer was
shot.s Both men fell down the stairway
and rolled into the yard, where the deputy
wrenched the pistol away. Williams ran
to the gate of the stockade, but could not
get out. He then turned like demon
upon the deputy. who shot him in the
chest.
Williams then ran to another gate which
was open and dashed out upon the street.
The deputy followed. firing as he ran.

er committing suicide, and believes It was
an accident, II not murder Many are
now inclined to believe that possibly the
man Vas tackled by a pickpocket; that
the thief was discovered. and that In the
struggle he went oyeGboard. This theory
| is advanced because Penicks pocket book
was found In the water. for no one can
explain how in any other way the book
got out of his pocket.

General Kobbe, commanding the Depart

SATURDAY, JULY 81, 1901.

To our mind there is nothing so aw-
full as the taking of human life: it
matters not under what conditions, le-
gally, accidentally, in war, by suicide,
in self-preservation or murderously. 1t
will therefore be understood that we do
not approve of the killing of Philip
Bennett and BENJAMIN Carter, the two
white men, at Dingess, w. Va, last
week, by Henry W Alexander, an Afro
American. No, they ought not have
been killed, for they did not, in our
opinion, do anything to deserve death
neither did Alexander in killing
them-we do not believe it is possible
for one human being to do anything
that justifies another human being in
taking his life. But we do believe
that could Bennett have possibly
changed places with Alexander, he
would have done just as Alexander did.
Bennett did that which he thought
would insult Alexander the most; and,
he was, in all probability, Judging
from his actions in this case, used to-

GER can understand all that there was
in the actions and words of. Bennett,
who, when Alexander, as, one man has
done to another millions on millions of
times, asked for the change Of some
money, took the money, threw it into
the street and said: II don't change
money for niggers.'' We understand
that a wire charged with electricity is
like tube filled with water; push one
atom more into it at one end, and a
corresponding quantity comes out at
the other, instantaneously. Now, we
believe that Alexander had been In
suited so often-just because he was a
'snigger''-that it only required one
more insult to make him run over. Ben
nett was the unfortunate Individual to
give the one insult The whites claim
to be the most highly civilized and en-
lightened people on earth and they kill
when insulted. They ought, therefore,
expect to be killed when they insult
They have insulted Afro-Americans in
so many ways and under so many con-
ditions and circumstances that they
seem to think it's a harmless pastime.
Every once in while, though, they
insult the wrong one and then there is

like Bobby Burns, they would in their
hearts say "a mans man for a that"
