AtrOCiOUS
Crime

Jim Williams is dead. He was an
Alaskan Indian under sentence of fifty
years imprisonment at McNeils Is
land federal prison near Tacoma,
Wash, for participating in the murder
of the Horizons. He died in one of the
isolated wards of the Fannie Paddock
hospital, where he had been about one
month, and was buried in the county
cemetery.
The crime for which Jim Williams
was imprisoned was one of the most
~atrocious in the annals of the North
west, and had it not been for VIII
liams' own confession the authors of
the murder would perhaps lever have
been known.
Mr.. and Mrs. Horton were bride and
bridegroom Early in 1900 they
struck out from skagway on a pros

shores OF Lynn Canal, about twenty
miles from Skagway, at a point not far
removed from Haines' mission. They
were killed while in camp, but their
disappearance was as complete and
mysterious as if the earth had swal-
lowed them. Mr.. Horton was shot and

Why One Editor Fishes.
Insists Pastime Is Necessary for Successful
Conduct Of Ills Business.


We're going fishing mighty soon. We
advise all others engaged in business
where husky. strenuous lying is neces-
sary to do likewise.
Fishing trips furnish the grandest
training for lying contests that we
know Of. Each trip is good for the
loss Of at least fifteen pounds Of super
fuous conscientious scruples. says the
Chicago Journal.
We get such a good start in lying
every time we go fishing that we
couldn't stop ourselves for the rest Of
the year, even IL we wanted to.
Last year. for instance, we wore
out our new half-soles in getting rail-
road transportation, paid an Indian
who drank all our whisky s17 80 drive
us ten miles, anted-up 50 a day for a
salt-pork diet, as much more for boat
and guide, lost SS7 playing poker
and caught but three measly croppies.
Not a muskie, not a bass, not even any
carp.
We had Dragged all winter about
what we were going to do on that fish
ing trip,
Could we come home and look our
fellowmen in the eye and confess that
we were a sucker, a lobster, and a ten
der-foot? Could even a saint be ex-
pected to back himself out of the So

A LARGE GOAT N
g BY A NEw MsxIoo woMAN.

Herd Of More Than Twenty-Five Thou
sand Angora Collaborating With
No Money She Has Brought Her
Profits Up to $4,000 a Year.
Mrs. Armour, in sierra county, New
Mexico, owns n herd Of more than
$4,000 AngOra goats, from which she
is making SOS, 600 profit a year. Her
columbia Pascha'' is the most valua-
bic Angora in America and worth
S1,5O0.
In 1899 she was left a widow, pen
niless and with nine small children
dependent on Tier for support. The
rOnchmen and miners took compass
sion on the destitute family and con-
tributed a small sum for their imme-
diate relief.
Then she pluckily cast about for
some means Of earning a living, so
that she might not be a burden on the
generosity of her friends. By chance
there drifted into camp a ranchman
with a herd Of ninety AngOra goats
for sale. Nobody cared to buy them.
for it was thought there was more
money In cattle raising. With genuine
intuition Mrs. Armour looked at their
silken coats and knew that they would
be valuable.
But she hadn't any money and didn't
want to borrow. So she made b prop
OsitiOn to take a small flock Of the
goats, tend them and care for them and
breed them. and at the end Of the year
divide the profits with the owner. The
proposition was accepted. She took
her goats and her children and went zap
IN the mOu..tain side, 5000 feet above
the sea level, where the scrub oaks
grow in profusion. Thus she secured
the necessary fodder, and as for shell
ter, the goats needed none. She lOcat-
ed a claim, built herself a ranch and
settled down to work. At the end of a
year her success was such that she
had money enough 30 buy a flock of
her own and start out Independently.
Since that time each year she added
20 her prosperity. She, now employs
twenty goatherds to care for her
docks. The greatest %precautiOn is re-
CURED to protect the goats from the in
roads Of the mountain lions, or cougars,
which are so numerous that the ranch
men have to organize hunts to get rid
of them.
Through her industry and persever-
N and pluck, Mrs. Armour has
made herself wealthy. She has sent her
eldest o to college, where he is now
studying law, and her four other chill
dren attend school in Kingston.

weeks after his conversion he arose
in one of the Salvation Army rallies

the shooting Of one of their Indian

TIMBER IN CHINA.
Largely Denuded Of Trees Though
Naturally Rlch IN Them.

Consul Miller writes from China that
he believes the future demand for Pa
cihC coast timber in that country will
be both large and permanent. An
who read books descriptive Of China
are impressed with the fact that in
that country, where every acre that
Will produce food Is needed for that
purpose, most OF the land has been
cleared of trees to make room for
more farms and gardens. East China
is nearly denuded. Consul Miller says
that more than 1000 miles up the
great valley of the Yangste there Is
practically no timber in sight. Plains,
hills and mountains are absolutely
bare Of forests, except where, here and
there, a few trees have been carefully
preserved. Some timber is found on
the Min river south Of the Yankste,
but It is mostly of young growth Of
poor pine. North OF the great river
there is very little timber. The west
Of China contains many forests, which
as yet have not been utilized to any
large extent.
A great majority Of the houses are
built Of mud and brick while in south
China a large amount of bamboo is
used. More wood is consumed for cof-
fins than in any other way. 1t Is es-
timated that over S,000,OO0,OO0 feet Of
lumber from four to ten inches thick
are annually made into collins. The
next largest use for lumber is for
boats, for the vast coast line, the riv-
ers and canals TEEN with large and
small craft. which are said to number
some millions.
A considerable quantity Of timber is
brought into China from Corea by Chi
nese junks, which sail along the coast
and up the rivers. Most of it consists
of fir and soft pine logs. Japan also
supplies China with a large amount Of
timber.

Awakened at 2 a. m. to fill their bait

Some men go without sleep for a

them wakeful a few hours longer.
Others again viii work till they drop
from sheer exhaustion, and sleep as
they lie. until reused by comrades. A

sleep, says Ainslee's Magazine, and
banking does this to an extent to
satisfy even the most exacting celes-
