found purchaser for the four which
the city could not pay off at this
time, and the money is now en- route
to New York City to take up the
bonds. This action will result in
a material saving to the city. The
bonds were to run till August. 1905
and the purchaser of the four still
outstanding has agreed that the
city may pay them off at any time
The saving thus made in interest
will amount to total of $117O. or
a net saving to the city of 1910
after deducting the amount of pre-.
MUM which the city is obliged to
pay for the privilege of paying off
the bonds before they are due. This

To P ay off Water Bonds.

AT the adjourned meeting of the
city council held last Thursday
evening, action was taken that will
mean the retirement of five of the
zine original bonds issued in 1890
Tor the construction of the water
system.
AT the time the system was con-
structed the city was bonded for
$9OOO, nine bonds of $1,000 each,
bearing six per cent interest being
sold to New York parties. These
bonds were to run for Is years, the
city not having the option of pay.
Ing off any of them till all were
Que. A sinking fund of three mills
was created to provide for the pay
ment of the bonds, and this fund
now contains $500, which is being
ADDED to at the rate of $1,000 per
annum. The city was of course re-
'ceiving no interest on this sum as
lay in the bank, and Mayor Sta,
icy undertook to make arrange
ments with the holders for taking
up such Of the bonds as the city
was prepared topay off. The hold

There is no more growth, nor chance

Washington should take a lesson
from history, but will refuse to do
so. Its forests will disappear as
surely as sunrise and sunset follow
leach other. Posterity will have a
problem, but, as has been asked be-
fore, what do we owe posterity?"
Not thing. We might accord it
decent consideration, but we wont.
This never has been the rule of the
race. But there is certainty that
timber is form of value that must
increase. Money put into timber
will be subject to wonderful in
crease. 1t will beat the "get-rich-
quick" concerns, for it will be a
sure thing. People who have TAX
en- up timber claims anywhere pro
vided the timber is there, cannot
help reaping a harvest that will re-
pay them many fold. There is no
sort of investment more secure. If
the location is remote the returns
may be slow, but they are newt
able. The people of the old world
would be astouuded to see the
amount of lumber burned in Ia
koma every day as waste. Prodi-
Hality is the rule at present. It

HOW BERING DIED.
The Story of the Adventures Death
 After the Loss of His Ship.

The Story of the Adventurer's Death
 After the Loss of His Ship.
 Collins Shackelford tells the true story of the fatal expedition of the explorer, Boring. from whom Bering straits are named. Here is his ac- count of the adventurer's death after the loss of his ship:
 "Bering who had been for some time totally disabled. was brought ashore on a handbarrow in d boat and placed in a sheltering hollow, where his still faithful men-a mere handful-had cleared the snow from the sand. Even then he was dying. His great age and the hardships he had undergone on this voyage made his struggle for life hope less
 His slow passing away was pathetic and pitifUI In effect. he partially buried himself alive. He lay under the shelter of a tent made from an old sail. Long suffering had made him childish and petulant. Each day and all day his weakening hands were con stantly busted scraping down upon his body, beginning at his feet, the sand from the rIqges on either side.
 He would submit to no interference with this occupation, insisting that the sand warmed him. When he died. De ing his body was already half buried, and it needed but a little work on the part of his skeleton comrades to inclose this hero of the Arctic region in. a coffin of frozen sand.
