Mr.. Diggs' brother. Funny how

Mr.. Diggs' brother were married

I received invitations to the we'd.

want to tell you about any old
wedding. Now about the hunting
Il forgot to say, tho, that I met
Bill Diggs at his brothers we'd
ding and he was so friendly to
everybody, me included, that we
buried the Ratchet.
Mr.. Diggs' brothers father-in-
law was dead game sport. After
the ceremony the men we're in the
dining hall alone and the CONVEX
sation began on hunting. The
father-in-law sent up to his room
for his new gun and when it was
brought, that Bill DiggsJ ust opened
up and told what he knew about
firearms and a whole lot he didn't
know. The gun was fine one.
It was one of the latest makes,
smoothbore, ball bearing with rub

action, self-destroying rapid re-
peaters. | think it shot No. %
cartridges, but I'm not sure. I
know it was only for big game so
I suppose No. % is right. Any
way, Bill Diggs commenced to
brag about his prowess as MINI
rod and we got real excited. Said
he had shot bear, deer and, if I'm
not mistaken, elephants. Tho
where, he didn't say. Maybe at
some circus, for Bill was never
west of Weehawken in all his life.
l don't want to brag myself, but
it's many the day I've brought
home venison-that is, until the
butcher charged 40 cents a pound
around Christmas, then we ate
beef liver. Fudge! I'll never get
to that trip.
The father-in-iaw was running
for mayor that fall and al the we'd
ding was large and elegant assort-
ment of politicians. Some old
paps who had never shot anything
but hot air told remarkable tales
of adventure and it was altogether
a very cheerful assembly. The
father-in-law said he was going
hunting up in Pennsylvania and
Bill Diggs had the nerve to invite
himself along. IT,, there's any
thing I hate it's gall, SO after the
father-in-law said he'd be delight

brother go along, I only said that
I was fair shot myself and could
easily get away from business for
a week or ten days. And SO 1 was
asked to go.
Well, about four weeks after the
wedding I got line from Bill
Diggs. It read: "Trip to Penna.
occurs on the 10th; be ready"
And I was. I borrowed a gun

Patients in the hospitals leaped
from their cots in terror. On the
upper floors of the tall business
blocks bookcases swayed to and fro,
crashing ilto the walls with a re-
port that could be beard in adigio-

i late rushed from their offices along
floors that rose and fell with the
motion Of a vessel at SEA in storm.
The disturbance was felt in other
Northern towns with practically the
same violence. At Tacoma, Everett,
Bsllingham, Victoria, Port~Towns-
end, Port Angeles and the smaller
towns of the Northwest, buildings
were shaken, windows RAJ tied, doors
bursted open and frightened people
iml lelled to flee from their homes.
The shipping on the Sound felt the
disturbance and people on the boats
were disturbed.
There were two shocks, the first
light, but the second of violent force.
In Seattle they seemed to pass at
8:1S p. NJ. from east to west. Taco
ma and Snohonaish reporting a sim
liar movement of the earth's crust.
Further north the shocks passed
either from northeast to north west
or from north to south, and on the
west side two reports insist that the
movement was from west to east.
Reports from North Yakima and
points in tho southwestern part of
the state show the earthquake was
not felt there.
In Seattle the shock was felt ee-
verely in the residence districts.
On the bills people deserted their
homes when the shock began rat

CONFERS WITH PRESIDENT
COMMISSION SUMMONED TO WASH
 ING HON
Rear Admiral R'xsy is Going to Make an h. spection of the Sanitary Conditions on the Isthmus

Washington-Admiral Walker, chair man of the Isthmian canal commission has conferred with the president.
 At the conclusion of the conference Admiral Walker said he had advised the commissioners by telegraph to come 10 Washington at their earliest convenience. He said he expected the commission would sail on March p.
 If, however. all the members could not arrange their affairs so as to leave at that time the commission wonld leave week later. It is said that the president adopted an unusual pro- cedure in specifically naming Admiral Walker as chairman of the commits sion, as it is unusual, but there were slight signs of friction, it is said, which impelled the president to pre- vent any contest in the commission by naming the chairman himself.
 Rear Admiral Rixey, surgeon gen eral of the navy, is going to Panama to make an inspection of the sanitary conditions. No date has been set for his departure, but he will have con- ference with Rear Admiral Walker before deciding on the details. The health of the marines and of the off cers and men on the ships on duty on lsthmian waters comes under the charge of Rear Admiral Rixey and he will make careful investigation of the sites selected for camps and on his return probably will draft report incorporating any recommendations he may see fit as to proper quarters for the men and the making of what ever sanitary safeguards he thinks necessary.
 There are on the isthmus six sur geons of the navy already. One of them who has just returned reports that the health of the men is excel. lent.
