The shades of night were falling fast
AS through the streets of kennewick
passed
A man who trod the sand with speed,
Clutching in his hand that magic weed

His brow was sad but in his eyes
The fire of determination lies,
And like silver clarion rung
The accents of an unknown tongue,
"AllalIa!'
Beware the sandstorni, the settler said,

This was the settlers last good night,
But back came the voice that resOuni-

Some of the questions asked
y parties writing to friends out
here are very amusing TO those
who are here and under tand the
peculiarities Of the country. The
conditions here are so entirely
different from those that exist in
the east or in fact any other part
of the country that people who
have not been here cant see how
we can get alone without things
that are indispensable to other
sections. One lady asked if we
didnthave Il little rain out here
just to cool things off. Others ask
what are to US old timers, equally
foolish questions, but which in
reality are pertinent aud rational
Regarding the rain question; it
perfectly reasonable for an east
erner to suppose that it would get
terrible hot and uncomfortable in
q place where no moisture ever
fell and where there was no elect
ric storms. In the east when that
condition prevails for even a
short time everything dries up
and the heats become almost un.
bearable. Here we have q climate
that is altogether different from
what people are used to east.
We don't need rain storms and
thunder and lightning and cy
clones to twist it back into shape
every once in a while. We are

The Navy Department will establish a
Naval Observatory in Samoa at cost Of
$4,000. 1t is said that there is ample JUS
LITIGATION for this, as it will afford astro-
nomical observation in a field almost un-
developed. The Northern heavens have
been pretty well discovered and charted,
but the Southern heavens are not nearly
so well known. Some 1897 stars have
been adopted for publication in the Maui
teal Almanacs Of the United States.
Great Britain, France and Germany, for
the accurate determine ton Of time for the
use Of navigators in that far distant Sec
ton Of our National domain, and for the
knowledge Of which is so important to
navigation. The United States Govern
ment hopes by the establishment Of this
observatory in Samoa to discover a list
Of 500 Of these ''navigator's stars"
There was a spirited five minutes in the
War Department the other day, when the
screams OF women, cursing crazy man,
shots from pistol, the Chief Of Staff Of
the United States Army and two War De-
partment clerks all got mixed up in any
thing but funny way. A poor, miserable
wretch whose insane brain was yet strong
enough to simulate sanity, had been pa
rolled from ST. Elizabeth's, and had gone
to the War Department to have some fan
cied grievance redressed. He carried
