they will join him. Mr.. Thompson
has been appointed general manager
Of the Montezuma coal mines, about
As miles distant from Tacoma. H.
8. Coleman, cashier under Mr.. Thomp-
son, has been named to succeed him
as agent Of the Rocky Fork company.
Mr.. Coleman Is an excellent and pop
ular young gentleman and his appoint
ment will undoubtedly prove accepta-
BILE to the company's customers.
Some Of those who have been hold
ing back and refusing to pay their
delinquent taxes on personal proper
ty are beginning to learn that Special
Deputy County Treasurer Firth is in
earnest in his efforts to reduce their
red ink accounts with the county. He
has served all so in arrears with no.
tfce to settle Immediately or suffer the
consequences. This morning he pro-
ceeded to sell as provided by law a
lot of chattels upon which the taxes
for last year remained due, but got
no further than to post the usual no.
tice, when the owners appeared and
made settlement. He has several
more on his list and is preparing to
enforce collection by distress unless
payment IS made within the next day
or two.

Of May to take charge Of his BUSH

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE,

Detroit Free Press: Two of Mr..
Bryan's constituents have been bun
coed out of $500 apiece by a New
York gentleman who sold them a
process for. Transforming maple sugar
bricks into gold bricks. Isn't it about
time the government established a
parity between gold and maple sugar,
and prevented such outrages?

SETTING NEW PACE.
Northern Pacific Leading the Other
.Trans-continental Roads.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
Next Sunday the new schedule on
the Northern Pacific will go into ef-
feet. The North Coast Limited trains
will then be put on again for the sum-
mer season and for the first time in
the history of any Of the %trans-con-
tinental roads will be three daily
trains be run ON one line. Two Of
these trains will u the entire length
Of the road from the Twin CitiesH
the coast, the other will run via Bill
ings and the Burlington. In addition
to these three trans-continental trains
q fourth will be run on the Pacific d.
vision, between Portland and Seattle
The new schedule is absolutely
necessary to enable the company to
handle its constantly growing passen-
ger traffic. AT no time since the
Northern Pacific has been construct
ed has that branch of it's business
been SO great and a greater volume Is
in sight. When the settlers and
homeseekers' rates shall expire, the
summer tourists will claim attention
and a number Of conventions east and
west, will cause a lot Of people to
travel. Many California tourists will
soon be seeking the northern pleasure
resorts and will return over a portion
of the Northern Pacific. Besides
these the ordinary travel, for in times
Of prosperity as these are people "gad
about" promises to be sufficient to
tax the limits Of the company.
TO meet the anticipated increase in
passenger traffic, the company has or
dered a large amount of new equip
ment. Twelve brand new Pullman
sleepers have been constructed for
the North Coast Limited trains. They
are Of the latest and best pattern, be-
ing 81 the ~12-section, drawing room
type. Larger smoking and dressing
rooms for men and larger and more
commodious dressing rooms for wo-
men will be one Of their important
features. Beside the new sleeping
cars, day and other new cars have
been constructed for these trains.
It Is estimated that by the end of
the coming month the company will
have carried west 40 fewer than co..
900 people on settlers and homeseek-
,ers' tickets, or an average Of 1000
a day during the time the cheap rates
are in effect. The larger part Of this
movement has been to the states OF
Oregon and Washington, only a small
portion having been to the states this
side, as both the railroad and the PEG
pie OF those two states have made
special efforts to attract immigration
within their borders.

COMING TO 1T.

New York Tribune: The postal re-
ceipts in this republic are now SO
large, and have shown such encourag-
ing percentages Of increase, that the
prospect Of 1-cent stamps for letters
looks less like the baseless fabric Of
a vision than 1t did q few years ago.

parture Is not known, 1t Is believed
that the two troops in the Yellow
stone park, F and g, will not be able
to leave before sometime in June, ow-
ing to the fact that they are scatter
ed in small detachments throughout
the park and cannot be assembled be-
fore that time.

Indian oratory in Washington.
le Washineton Post.

From the Washington Post.
 Several orations in the Sioux language were delivered a few mornings ago be- affairs. The orators were Thunder Hawk. a full-blooded Sioux, and four other chiefs, who are in Washington to pro- test against the leasing of portion of their reservation.
 Thunder Hawk and his brother chiefs were participants in the Custer massacre after that tragic episode they fled to the British dominions, where they remained for six years, finally returning to the United States and surrenderng to the military authorities Since then they nave lived upon their reservation in peace ana quiet. When, in the presence or the seha- tors on the Indian affairs commlttee' Thunder Hawk was asked to state ms protest the old warrior, not in the least abashed and with his leonne features as emotionless as if nodded in clay arose with his arms clasped. For almost minute he stood in silence, and then Tn his deep, guttural voice. he began to speak. As he progressed he added ap- propriate gestures to his words making fl unioue picture. When his speech was translated it was found to be loglcal and concise presentation of the indians position, without any fiorid rhetoric Ihe other chiefs proved to be equally good as speechmakers.
 Ihe interesting part of the incident IS that the orations of the Indians won their case. They are to be protected In keeping their reservation intact.

Outdoor Exercise

he go through college pretty sure to have fourteen years of physical training In my opinion it is the best part of his edu- cation.
 But I note from extensive travelling through the states. that athletic exer- cises in the open air, such as football, baseball, tennis, golf, cross country rid ing, are the most popular. when nearest to cities or large towns. Outdoor amuse- ments seem to require. for some req son or other, fashionable support In farming districts there are no athletics. Now as this country is largely agricul- tural this is bad for the race. Country boys, farmers sons, are generally un- gainly. This is due to the fact that they do not go in for athletics. The belief that country lads are more hardy than city lads was exploded by the Civil war It was proven that the latter stood longer the strain of long marches, and the rav- ages of exposure A boy driving cattle to pasture on foot or following plough, acquires a slouchy habit of carrying his body; should he ride an old horse he &C., dle. The same boy walking a distance with some knowledge of the correct way to hold himself would become a stronger man and a far more healthy man. It is the same about riding. The cowboy rides well. Why? It is because he is constant ly practicing feats of horsemanship. Physical education should be part of the instruction of every rural school. Athletic games should be fostered by ev- cry school board, and competitive games

This is the season when in the breast of every young man and woman, the desire Ito get out of doors," springs up. A long ing for fresh woods and pastures new is natural and universal. It demonstrates itself among young and old. Pass through the crowded tenement sections where the people are huddled together, and every where are signs indicative of the love of country, of nature. It may be only Tn sprig of green, singie flower, or a small plant set on the window. Many or the inhabitants of these districts have been born in these great tenements, and many have not visited the great parks which suggest nature; yet, down in them deep and strong, is the love of country. It IS strongest in the spring. Our artifi- cial city life cannot crush out the primi- tive racial instinct when man was hu- | man animal with arboreal habits; and this instinct for the country is the funda- | mental principle which if uncontrolled, | would cause man to revert back to l root-eater and earth grubber.
 | But controlled man returns to the earth | as the fisherman, the hunter, the golf | player, the yachtsman, the cross coun- | try rider, and as the devotee of outdoor 1 athletics With each generation the strain on the temperament and physical makeup of man Is greater; and 1t is well that the love of outdoor amusements is growing stronger and stronger The greatest and for that matter. the only cure there Is for the impairment Of the system by mental strain and the waste incidental to city life, is afforced by ex- ercise in the pure air of the country.

 believe our young men and women show a degree of physical cultivation. that indicates an improvement on the generation from which they sprung. It is observable in the general build and carriage. It shows itself in the clear ness of the skin, in the delicate crim- son in the cheeks. in the deeper red of the lips, in the brightness of the eye, in the elasticity of the step, in the boise of the body, in the position of the shoulders. Our colleges and universities, our schools and academies have done much to i'm prove athletics, to raise their standard and make physical culture popular, but they have also done much to discour- age. All young men and young women cannot excel. Some must possess greater strength, greater endurance than others Those who do excel make the record. and those who find they cannot com pete are apt to become spectators, Here in lies the fault of college atletics. Every boy and every girl should be com pelled to make an individual record. Four years of physical framing will do more to make a young man succeed in the world than forty years of Algebra, Greek and Latin. But it is not four years.
