HARBOR LEASES
NEW RULE LAID DOWN BY COM.
MlSSIONERS.
No Areas to BE Leased Hereafter
Unless Commerce ana Naviga.
ton Actually Demand lt...Spec-
ulatOrs in HarbOr Areas to Be
Entirely Shut Out.

Olympia, May lS.-The board of
state land commissioners has estab-
lished precedent in the matter of
leasing harboi raeas that will have its
effect in every city on the sound.
The board has adopted it as a rule
that harbor areas will not be leased
hereafter until commerce and naviga-
toni actually demand it. In other
words, SPECTATORS will not be allowed
to obtain thirty-year leases on harbor
area with the idea that the possession
will he valuable within few years.
The area involved is that Immediate
ly outside the outer line of plated tide
lands in front OF each city. 1t COM
prises an area varying in width from
100 to 600 feet, and varying in length
with the size OF the harbor. This area
is reserved by the Estate for all time
from sale, but it may be leased for a
period of thirty years to persons who
will place improvements thereon for
the benefit iof navigation.
The lease rental is a fixed rate in
each instance, based at one per cent of
the assessed valuation of the abutting
property, but the state, before leasing
such area, offers at public auction the
right to lease. That is, the prospective
lessees bid bonus for the privilege of
leasing at fixed rate.
The action of the board at its last
meeting includes the cancellation of a
number OF applications for putting up
of harbor areas for lease, and also the
rejection of bids on areas already offer
ed in front of Seattle, Tacoma, Port
Townsend and Olympia.
The applications rejected APPARENTLY
came from an organized association of
spectators, who hoped to lease the
area by paying small bonus, then to
erect some himsy structure and wait
for their leases to become valuable.
They generally select an area in front
OF improved tide lands, such as the
Tacoma smelter, which was one of the
places involved.
In the Olympia and Tacoma cases
portions of the area had already been
offered at public auction ,andthe abutt-
ing property owners, in order to protect
their rights, had, in number of in
stances appeared and bid in the leases
at large bonus. They uniformly as
sured the land commissioners that they
did not desire to erect improvements
thereon, but only to protect their in
terests from the speculators who are
trying to get hold of the harbor area.
These people will get back their money
from the state with the assurance that
the area will be reserved from lease by
the state until such time az commerce
and navigation demand it's use. The
action will be uniform in every city.
Bona fide improvers will be given a
chance to lease harbor areas, but every
case will be investigated to determine
whether speculation is back of the at
tempt to lease.

LAST OF HIS RACE.
Sole Survivor of Once Powerful
Tribe Ia Dead.


Seattle, May l9.-Advices received
on the steamer Dolphin state that the
last of the Saulchachet Indians,
once powerful tribe of Central Alaska,
died a few weeks ago near the new
Tanana diggings. The red man had
lived to patriarchal age to see the
white miner prospecting the country
over which his people formerly ruled.
The extinct tribe had its headquarters
on the Tanana river, about IS miles
above Fairbanks. The name OF the
last survivor could not be obtained by
those who reported his death.

Easy Way to Clean House.

A systematic way Of cleaning avoids
confusion and at the same time makes
the work much lighter. For instance,
one or two days can be devoted to
the cleaning of beds; another day to
the cleaning Of windows and taking
down the soiled draperles which can
be washed and ironed on the following
day. After this Is done. a day should
be set apart for the brushing down Of
walls and freeing pictures and mir
rors from dust and dirt. This work
can be followed by what is necessary
in the way Of embarrassing. papering
and painting. Then comes the floors
If you are fortunate enough to have
them polished or painted. a day can
be utilized in having them cleaned and
freshened. Where carpets are used
it Is an excellent idea to have them
taken up and purified from the win
ter's dirt. The expense Is not large
and it gives the satisfaction that ones
house is more sweet and healthful.

ONE OF THE FAMILY.
Pig that Really Won the Regard Of
Traveller.

Traveller.
Among the curious ideas Of the Per-
slams is the belief that the presence
of Il pig in the stable is good for the
horses health. Doctor Wills. the au-
thor of the book entitled "In the Land
of the Lion and sun" writes that as
soon as he arrived at ShiraZ his groom
asked permission to buy little pig.
These wild pigs are strangely thin
and as active as a terrier. They are
very affectiOnate. and show their affec-
ton strongly to the horse or groom.
They all answer to the name Of Mar
jahn." When the horses leave the
yard they are accompanied by the pig,
which is inconsolable If left alone in
the stable. and shows his grief by
piercing squeals. and by attempting
to scratch his way out. AS long as

FOR him: he was not. of course. in
such high training as his wild rela-
tives. and when distressed he would
commence to squeal. and would look
up in most appealing manner.
He remained with us in camp, never
leaving my horses, with which he was
on the best of terms. | used often
to put the horse to speed when out

The pig would battle in the river and

and obstinately pursuing them with

ENGLAND WANTS PEACE
France Working for Compromises
That Will Prevent War,

London, Dec. 31.-Signifcant words
were uttered by the ambassadors as
sembled at the reception held by Lord
LansdoWne, the British foreign sec.
retary, yesterday.
Lord Lansdowne adopted a slightly
more hopeful tone to the other am
bassadors than has prevailed at the
foreign. office for the last few days.
This is chiefly due to the persistent be-
lief Of the French foreign minister, M.
.Delcasse, that, he will be able to pre-
vail on Russia to make such COM
promises as will avert war.
The Russian ambassador, Count
Benckendorff, was unable to give any
definite information regarding the
tenor of the Russian reply to Japan,
as he had received no advices on the
subject from st. Petersburg.
Japanese Minister Speaks.
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese min
lister, said he was aware that the
French foreign minister was making
strenuous efforts for peace. So far as
had not yet been crowned with sue

said, must be in a better position

Dragged from their beds and brutally
tortured for two hours, two women
living in a lonely house near Towanda
were last night victims of man who
announced himself as Edward Myers,
the murderer of Mrs. Payne, in Tioga
county, last summer. One of them
finally escaped by jumping from an
upper story window and running a
mile thru the snow barefooted and
thinly clad, to Towanda.
Mrs. Maria English. and Mrs. Liz
zie Mahon were the unfortunates.
a man who had gained access to the
house. After blowing out the light
that had been left burning, he an
nounced that he was Myers, the man
who murdered Mrs. Payne by stabbing
her numberless times with a pitchfork.
He added that he had also murdered
eleven other women and intended that
they should not escape. .
Then he assaulted them and for two
hours the defenseless women suffered
awful agony, being tortured, choked
and beaten. Finally Mrs. English got
away from him. She could not reach
the door, but getting to a window she
jumped to the ground and started on
a wild run for Towanda, mile dis
tant She went to police headquar-
ters and told her story to Night Off
Ger Benedict, who aroused Chief OF
Police Miller and hurried to the
house. When they arrived, however,
the fellow had gone, leaving no trace.
Bruises showed that the women had
been thru a terrible struggle. The
description Of the man tallies with that
of Myers. He has up to this time
evaded the officers.
