FROM THE SOLDIERS HOME

Editor ISLANDER: A few lines from
the Soldiers Home may interest your
readers. Much improvement has oc-
Cured and more is in contemplation
in this particular section since last
wrote you. The Pierce County I'm
provement Company is expanding
large sums of money in the construc-
ton of water dams and for electric
power machinery which is sa d will be
secondary only, when completed, to
the great plant at Niagara Falls. An
electric railway is now under construc-
ton from Mt. Rainier to Tacoma which
passes close to the Soldiers Home at
Orting. A large number of men are
employed clearing the right.of-way,
while at the dam proper still larger
force is at work that seem to denude
and level down the whole side of the
mountain. The work under contem-
plation is indeed stupendous and well
worth seeing. A new and much larger
bridge across the Puyallup between
the home and town of Orting is now
about completed which is believed will
stand all future floods.
The present superintendent of the
home has now had control about ole
year and | believe the morale of the
home has been improved. Inmates
come and go about as before, the actual
membership increasing slowly, but it
is always up to the possible limit of ac-
commodation. But little has yet been
done towards constructing a new din-
ing hall, bakery and other needed
buildings for which the last legislature
made liberal appropriation, and some
talk is heard of setting up tents for
shelter to accommodate those that can.
not be housed until the new buildings
are constructed. Everyone actually
needing the care and protection OF the
home and who is legally entitled to
il will be accommodated az well
as present facilities will admit j. Ii.
Coffman, the manager, and his ex-
cellent wife, the matron, of the home
now have matters pretty well under
control, and one hears less growing
and sees less drunkenness than form
cry.

Salmon Prices Advancing

In an article on the condition of the
salmon market the Tacoma Ledger
says:
"At last the tide has surely turned,
and the market is filled with .pecula-
tors striving to stock up with the Alas
ka salmon so long begging a market.
The Tacoma dealers have disposed of
fifteen carloads, or 1000 cases, within
the last week, and prices have moved
upwards 40 cents, with further pros
poets of still greater advances. This is
the unsold remnant of last years pack.
For this years catch the dealers are re-

Promptly Corrected.

Two young fellows at Liverpool, part
ners in the tea trade, were the best of
friends, and their intimacy extended to
personal as well as to business matters.
One of them, supplemented fellow
was bachelor, and was in the habit Of
reading to his partner extracts from let
tiers of an ardent and afectionate nature
from lady in the north of England, who
signed herself "Susie."
The married one went to China fol
twelve months and returned just in time
to attend the wedding Of his partner.

in his sweetest tones, addressing the bride
"In fact, / feel as though I ought to be
well acquainted with my partners wife,
since he has often done me the honor to
read to me extracts from his dear Susie's
letters"
The face of the husband and speaker
were studies as the bride drew herself up

your pardon-my name is He]en.'

Killed Him in Self.defence.

Once upon time two cronies were
sitting up with their dead pal, says an ex-
change, and one of them concluded he
must get drink before the saloons closed.
The other one said he must 60, too, but
with shade Of decency the first one said
it would not do to leave the corpse. So
it was agreed, finally, to take the corpse,
and they pat a hat on it, got it between
them and walked to the saloon. Standing
the corpse up against the bar they ordered
drinks for three. The two drank their
whiskey and walked out. leaving the
corpse still and motionless. The bar.
keeper demanded the price of the drinks
-once-twice-and as there was no re.
sponse he struck the corpse between the
eyes and sent it sprawling to the floor
The two cronies rushed in, felt the pulse
of their dead friend and exclaimed: my
God, man, you have killed him" The bal
keeper replied: "Gentlemen cannot help
it, the d-d scoundrel drew knife
on me and I killed him in self-defence.' u
And that's the kind of self-defence we
have been hearing about lately.

"IoWa Idea" Adopted.

George Cosson returned Monday
from Indianapolis where he had been
as delegate TO the National Wood
men Convention held in that city. 1t
was probably the greatest convention
ever held by fraternal society. There
we're present 469 delegates each repre-
senting 1900 Woodmen and over 5000
Foresters. Talbot, of Nebraska,
Bryan's law partner, was elected Head
Council and Col. Saunders, of Coun-
Gil Bluffs, was reelected as member
ofthe Board of Directors. The read
justment of rates was the important
feature before the convention and
what was known as the Iowa Ideao
was the plan adopted. This plan was
proposed by Mayor Stebbens of Iowa
City.
This plan Is increase over the pres
emit rates from rs to 100 percent ac-
cording to the relative ages. The old
man being increased proportionatly
more than the young man. However,
it will not much affect the men who
have been members of the society for
a great length of time to any great ex-
tent as they will take the rate at the
age of the date of their certificate and
only enough assessments are levied to
pay death claims. Each member will
pay more at each assessment but the
number of the assessments will be re-
reduced.
The Iowa delegation was the con-
trolling power throughout the conven-
tion. The Woodmen voted $50, 900 to
food sufferers in Kansas, and $4,000
to widows of members whose policies

All Join In a Good Cause.

The 4th of July at Audubon, 1903
will be one of the gala days in the
history of Audubon county. Never be-
fore have the citizens of the county
been interested in making this day at
Audubon q success as at present. The
management of the Audubon County
Agricultural Society have been COM
PEELED to erect a new ampitheater on
account of the unsafe condition OF the
old one, to accommodate the people
during our annual county fairs. The
officers of the society were very un-
willing to undertake this, having only
one-third of the cost of the building
on hand after defraying all expenses
and premiums of the fair of 1902, until
il was suggested to them by some of
the leading citizens of the county that
q race meeting and celebration be held
July 4th, 1903 on the fair grounds at
Audubon in the hope that by making
small charge for admission at the
gates, some money might be realized
to help pay the cost of the building.
In furtherance of that idea, the Audi
bon Driving Association was formed,
officers we're elected, and committees
appointed to formulate plans for the
days entertainment. A very extensive
program has been arranged, covering
the entire day andevening and more
pleasant and enjoyable Fourth cannot
be spent anywhere than on the fair
grounds at Audubon, Iowa.
Geo. w. Hoover has leased from
the Fair Association location for a
permanent exhibit hall and will at
once erect at his own expense this
building, which will be used during
the celebration as dance hall.
With the completion of the ampithe-
alter the last building required by the
Fair Association for the convenience
of the people has been added to an al
ready highly improved property and
the citizens of Audubon county can
point with pride to their fair grounds
as one of the best in western Iowa.
All that now remains to be done is TO
pay in full for this absolutely neces-
sary building and the officers of the
Driving Association hope by careful
and economical management on July
4th to be able to donate a small
amount for that purpose.
The questions may be asked, why
charge admissionY" or what are
you going to do with the moneys
These questions are easily answered.
The race meeting or celebration at the
fair grounds is not promoted in the
interests of any town or private per-
son but solely in the interests of the
Audubon County Agricultural Society
of which every citizen of Audubon
county is member, and when you pay
your small admission fee at the gate
the officers of the driving association
guarantee you more and better en-
tertainment than you can get anywhere
else and that the net proceeds of the
day will be applied toward improving
that property in which you are inter.
ested. What better inducement can be
held out to the American citizen than
a Fourth of July full of fun? And
what better incentive to be present
than that every cent he may spend will
be used for the betterment of property
of which he is joint owner?
Let us all attend and help in the
good cause
