Other provisions not easily spoiled
may be added to the list, such us
pickles, dried fruit, molasses, pork and
various canned articles.
In the way of necessities other than
for food purposes, take soap along for
washing towels, pane, ETC., and soap
for the toilet. Put among your stores
coffe pot, tea pot, a lond-handled
frying pan, small gridle, several diff
ferent sized tin pals, the largest hold
ing gallon or more, two or three
water buckets, two or three iron kit

spoon, boiler, an AK and Ratchet.
Erect your tent on gentle slopng
ground if available. If not, don't forget
to dig trench around it so that in
case of rain the water will drain off
OF course, don't pitch the tent too
far away from where spring water and
fuel may be obtained.
White granite-ware plates, saucers
and cups are what is needed in the
way of table furniture. They can be
cleaned as easily as china and will not
break. Teaspoons, knives and forks
should be of the nickel-plated kind.
A supply of candles and two or
three stable lanterns are handy things
to have on hand.

HOW TO BE HAPPY
when CAMPING OUT

The vacation time is near and with
its approach comes the desire to gel
away from the cities and towns and
seek the pleasures of the shady woods
breezy lakes and ripping streams Of
the country.
OF all forms of making life comfort
able in summer that of camping out is
perhaps, the most popular both with
old and young.
This short article is intended more
particularly for the latter and its pur-
pose is to offer a few suggestions that
will help to increase the pleasures OF
life in camp.
In the first place select only com
Portable, durable clothes, SO that II
you happen to get splattered with
mud or soaked with water you will
not mind it bit.
Be very careful in selecting your
party, as one disagreeable, fault-find-
ing member can easily make life miser-
able for all the others.
In making ready for the outing be
sure that each person provides HIM
self with big jackknife. It's the
most handy implement known to camp
ers of experience.
As for provisions, those that must
not be omitted are salt, sugar and
pepper, lard, oatmeal, -four in sacks.

milk or cream, butter in pail, bag

1T was in 1883" went on Uncle Ned.
II was at Funchal, the capital city OF
MADEIRA island, one of the paradses
of the earth. My father, your grand
uncle, had gone there for his health
and with my mother we were invited
to spend the Fourth with Mr.. Marsh,
the American consul.
my recollection is also that it hap
pened " be the day of solemn Por-
tuguese function. Mary, queen OF
Portugal, was dead and her son was
succeeding her. The consulate build
ing fronted on the beautiful public
square where a catafalque had been
erected.
THE Portuguese procession was
headed by functionary-a sort of
officer-who carried a big silver AK.
On approaching a crown set on top
of the catafalque, he cleft the crown
in twain, and exclaimed: The queen
is dead, long live the king. Funeral
bells were tolling, minute guns were
firing from forts on the harbor and the
land fortress. All was deepest mourn
ing, flags were half-mast and draped,
and no sounds of music were heard.
"The consulate driveway, the build
ing standing back, was entered under
an arch, on which there was a balcony.
From this vantage ground one could
see across the plaza and down through
a short street that led to the ocean
side, giving fine view of the ship
ping in the harbor.
The land and water scenery were
magnificent. From the balcony l could
reach out and touch tempting bunch
of bananas. Seemingly right opposite
me in the harbor rode the United
States frigate Constitution, her square
white portfolios looking like an in-
mense checker board as she gently
rose and fell on the waters.
"Above her, in the bright sunshine
swayed the Stars and Stripes.
81 had read the story of the gallant
Hull, and how his ship, the Constitu-
ton, had captured the British frigate
Guerrero, in the war of 1872, and as
mother pointed out to me our flag
floating over the frigate, and said:
my boy, that is our fag," / felt the
strongest emotion that ever came 10

THE INTERSTATE TAI1.

The last two years the Spokaneifairs
have not been what you would call
success.
When they used to have the fair
down town, on Post street, there
would be crowds in the afternoon and
evenings both, the people would go
every night.
The admission fee was small, SO that
the poor people could 60 also. In the
evenings they would have fine concerts
by the band.
Now, the last two years people won't
go every day. They charge higher
prices, and especially the poor people
don't get to ge because they think
they can't spend that much for just
a fair, and besides pay their carfare.
l think they should put up large am
pitheatre with seats where people
could sit down if they wanted to, and
then have a place in front for a fine
band and have day and night concerts.
;. The way it is now there is no place
to sit down unless you go in the band
stand and all there is to see are the
races.
And, besides, the working people
who don't get out to the fair because
they have to work during the day,
could 90 in the evening.

JUVENILE COURTS BILL.
Proposed Law for the Action of Next
Legislature.

A bill looking toward the establish
ment of Juvenile courts in this state
will be prepared for consideration by
the next Legislature.
A Tacoma club woman will take the
initiative in the matter, and it will re-
ceive the earnest support of the State
Federation of Womens clubs as well
as the Associated Charities and Cor
rection society and the State Bar as
ISOLATION. So far as known, there is no
opposition to the proposal.
Charitable organizations and educa-
tional clubs have long seen the need
of separating from hardened criminal
classes the many youngsters who find
their way into police courts. The sub
ject of the bill will come up for an
early discussion before Tacoma club
women, so that steps can be taken for
furthering it's interests.

TRAFFIC is HEAVY

CHICAGO, Ill. oct. 17.-Freight
traffic through the country is heavier
this year than it has ever been before
and this in spite of elections, great dis
turbances in business in Individual
territories, Colorado, for instance, and
on the packing house lines, the corn
failure in Iowa last year. the decline in
the steel business and many other un-
favorable factors less known. The loss
of traffic in Pittsburg, Denver, Kansas

Gus causes seems to be made up by the
general health of the country at large
While there is hardly a city of 100 900
people in the west which is not order
ing less manufactured goods. luxures
etc, than last year. this construction
is more than balanced by the new bust
ness arising from the opening up of

We're unheard of a few years ago are
now doing a tiourishing business.
