beach that they might fnd whether any
evidence of the vessel or her crew had
drifted ashore. This had always been
their custom and small boats and dead
bodies had often been found even 80
soon after great catastrophes.
In few hours the searchers began
to return to the village empty handed,
As they came each reported in turn
that nothing had been found. 1t had
been severe storm, however, and
everything had probably been dashed
to pieces against the rocks about Cape
Disappointment, and the bodies of the
crew, they thought had been sent to
the bottom Of the sea or were dashed to
the remnants of the vessel where all
must be dead.
The forward party which followed
the beach toward the ocean, and had
proceeded about q mile was startled by
noise while climbing among the drift
wood in q little cove.
"a wharf fat!" exclaimed one.
"No, a weasel" said another.
"It is the voice of human being, as
sure as you livel" shouted third,
who was nearer the sound than the
others. s...
"On then," replied the man who
had first spoken.
The members of the party all rushed
to the place from which the sound en-
anated.
Didn't tell your" said the man
who had proclaimed it human voice,
when he reached the place.
"Well, told you that it was a
small human being, and it u.s." replied
the man who had pronounced the cry
as coming from wharf rat.
"It's mate is old enough for you, "
remarked one of the fishermen.
eyes, but he is of little use now, he
is Dead" was the reply.
"Not much, see, he opens his eyes!"
shouted one of them joyfully.
A sad picture. yet one that gave
pleasure to the fishermen, presented
| itself. A short, stout old man, with
gray hair and whiskers, lay dashed to
a broken spar Of a ship. He was
probably three score and ten. The
spar lay upon his right leg and he
could not move. Had this not been
the case he could never have released
himself from the timber, for he was
numb and dazed, more dead than liv'
ing and the chords had drawn deep in
to his body. But in the aged mans
clasp, like that of the dead, he held
close to his heart a crying infant.

SEATTLE BABY A MILLIONAIRE
Restaurant Walters Child Inherits :
Large Sum From Grandfather.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 17.-Roy
Ernest Jesse Taylor, months old, will
be a millionaire when he is p years
old. Charles Taylor, his father, then a
waiter in the AIaison Barberis restaur-
ant, received letter from attorneys
in London recently in which it said
that Taylor's father had died, leaving
an estate of $3,000,00O. one million of
that is bequeathed to his grandson,
Roy Taylor, of this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor Will sail tomor-
row for London, to help settle the es-
tate. The income from the $1,000, 600
is to go to the boys father. The
lucky waiter had not seen his father
for years. although he kept in occa-
sional touch with him. Taylor ran
away from home when a small boy,
and for a long time was totally disin-
herited. He was therefore surprised
greatly when he learned that his
father had forgiven all and had made
his son one of the chief heirs to the big
fortune.

CRITICISES LUMBER EXHIBIT.
Frank B. Cole Declares Prairie States
Make Better Showing at Fair.

TACOMA, Wash, June 17.-EditOr
Frank B. Cole of the West Coast and
Puget Sound Lumberman, has caused
a sensation among lumbermen by a
criticism of the lumber exhibit of
Washington at st. Louis. In an inter-
view given out this afternoon Mr. Cole
said:
Almost any prairie state in the
Union has a better exhibit in the gov
eminent forestry department in ST.
Louis than has this state. 1t may be
possible that there are other things to
follow, but up to the present time lum-
bermen from Washington must feel
ashamed to own their residence.
In the government department
there is a hollow stump from WASH
ington, a portable house and a fir slab.
In the Washington state building one
finds another hollow stump, some
hibit of eastern Washington pine. On
the Hoo Hoo building nothing is exhib-
tied from this state.
The Washington state building is
unique and that is about all anyone
can say of it. Altogether, the Wash
ington exhibit, SO far as set up had
better have been burned in the woods
This state has been singularly I'M
{ lucky in its lumber exhibits in eastern
| expositions. At the worlds fair in
Chicago, after the lumbermen had fur
nished a lot of extra fine interior fin
ish, someone went to work and paint
! ed it. So far as anyone could tell the
finish might have been oak or yellow
pine
| Unless there is a change in the
| Washington exhibit the chances are
that hereafter lumbermen going to ST
Louis from Washington will register
from Oregon or California las the ex-
| hlblts from each of these states are
marked by a completeness which might
| lead anynOe to conclude they We're the
only states on the coast which had
! any lumber"

Patterson, indicted by the grand jury

girl of Washington. D. c., and the
sweetheart of Daniel Duryee, a real es-
tate broker of this city.
1t was only very few years ago
that Dan" and Nan" were as desper-
ately in love with each other as callow
youth and young girlhood can be. The
young man bought soda, ice cream and
ooked to him periliously near the bank

ploye, and Dams" father was also on
the government payroll. The two fami-

her obedience to her parents. But the
parting came between Nan" and
Dan for the young mans family

this separation not occurred who knows
but what the one time innocent girl
would have escaped her life of notorie-

in the arrest of John King and Clyde
Brownfield who were taken a few days
ago when a den of thieves was raid
ed in North Seattle, he has under ar
than seven weeks ago kidnapped Prev
lit Baker, a 3-year-old boy who was
playing near his fathers summer home
on cambridge Island.
King and Brownfield are best known
as safecrackers, although the police
say they are crooks of the worst type
and will stoop to any crime whereby
they may make money. The other two
men suspected of the kidnapping have
not been arrested, although the police
say they have them where they can
lay their hands on them at the proper
moment.
King and Brownfield We're seen on
the island an hour before the baby was
stolen. They were known to have been
cruising in a sloOp that day. The
sloop suddenly disappeared and at the
same time the child was missed. To
this day the baby has not been seen.
Chief Delaney expresses a belief that
the child is still alive, and that in time
the men now under arrest will tell of
its whereabouts. They are now being

Differs From PROSPECTING.

The term prospecting is used so
loosely nowadays that it is difficult to
say just how much of Alaska has been
canvassed by Independent gold hunt
ers. One man will examine a district
very carefully and definitely determine
whether there is anything in it, where
as another will run over the country,
pan a little gravel here and there, get
discouraged, and abandon the place as
barren Of gold. I might say that prac-
tically every creek in Alaska that is
now an important producer was pros
pected long before gold was found
The Klondyke d strict was skinned
over number of times by careless
prospectors before the strike was made
that brought thousands of miners to
the place. More than one old timer
went through the district and declared
there was nothing to be found. In this
sense there is a large area that has
been casually prospected. But so far
dS detailed eAdlnlndllO goes, should
say that probably three fourths of
Alaska is still unprospected. All this
refers to placer mining, for there has
been even less investigation into the
possibilities or quartz mining.
Alaska has for the time being pass
ed the dramatic stage in it's mining de-
velopment, but the real work is now
going on. We may hear soon of fresh
strikes in new directions, which will
revive interest in that part of the
country"
