One of the Colonel's Predicaments


The serenity that usually pervades the
sanctum and envelOps the mind of the
senior editor in mOtionless calm, was
recently disturbed by decisive remon-
STRANGE from the fair ladies who OF late
have formed and organized a Guild.
His offense was one of judgment. er-
ring and impolitic, and whatever kind
Iy light We might shed upon his utter
ance; however prone we might be to
forgive, the mantle OF charity does not
cover the fact that his truant pen did
describe them as being old.
Like bolt from the blue on cloud
less day, came the FIRST protest-a gen.
tie, sweet, but determined demand for
an explanation, and the Colonel's di.
plomacy and tact and artful lodging,
gathered from years Of newspaper
trials, might have won the day and
been oil to the troubled waters, had
there been but one to pacify; but, alas!
quick and rapid, and as many AS the
guns of royal salute, came other fair
offended ones, denying the charge of
ancientness, and seeking vengeance,
till he found himself in unredeemable
confusion, his courage gone, his tact as
numbering as lOngshoresman's gait his
explanations more glib, but less effec.
tive than the suffering excuse of
country pumpkin, and realizing immi
Dent rOut and defeat, he fled precipi-
family to the tall timber, to be with m.
ture and himself alone, among things
that he dared, without fear Of contra
dictioD, to say were really, truly and
thoroughly old.
The Col. still maintains that there
are old ladies, but that their pictures
adorn ancestral halls-rich, rare old
paintings and daguerotypes-la1ies of
whom eDitaphs have been written and
who sleep the long and amending SLEEP
and not the kind that form and organ
ize and give life and sweetness and
beauty to Guilds in this our day of
grace.

OLD TIME BUSINESS ROMANCE
Story OF the Early Business Relations OF
Jim Hill of the Great Northern and
Captain Alex Griggs.

Matters of sentiment rarely enter |
into business transactions. But the
recent death of a well-known steam
boat pioneer in Eastern Washington
brings to mind the fact that the high
est impulses sometimes actuate men
engaged in large enterprises. the sue
cess of which depends more or less
upon the ability to disregard the inter-
ests of others for their own ends. The
story Of the relations between Captain
Alexander Griggs, and the head OF the
Great Northern Railway, reveals
steady friendship uninterrupted by
the vicissitudes of fortune.
When James J. Hill opened up his
railroad in 1892 he suggested to his
old friend Captain Griggs that the up
per Columbia river would be a good
field for navigation. The advice was
acted upon, and with the entrance OF
the Great Northern into the state, the
"Eliensburg' began the transporta-
ton business on the Columbia from
Wenatchee to Brewster. Captain
Griggs had followed navigation for
over thirty years, moreover, he was
a man of enterprise and determina-
ton. There were difficulties to be
overcome before success crowned the
steamboat industry in this part OF
the country, but Captain Griggs added
to his fleet from year to year, until al
the time of his death there were five
steamers on the river. These boats
are the only means of transportation
for thousands of bushels of Big Ben
wheat and the country tributary to
the river is wonderfully fertile. Cap
tain Grigg's squadron have the monop-
DIV of the ever increasing trade.
To send branch of the Great
Northern into this rich agricultural
land would be an easy matter for the
railroad magnate. But this would
mean competition with his old part
