Frank David has a little over 1000
bushels on the Liston farm and Mr..
Jack David threshed 844 bushels on
the Harry David farm. On account
of the threatening weather many have
begun stacking their grain. A we'll
known farmer said today that it Is hard
to make an estimate on the wheat crop
at present but it is not going to be up
to the average.
Mr.. VIM. McClain, of Taylor's
Bridge, one of the best known trap
pers and fishermen in Delaware, in
forms us that he has not seen q single
crab in Blackbird Creek this year,

between the iron bumpers and crushed

Fred Piper has just run over from
Portland TO take a little hand in the
municipal campaign. He has already
made his presence felt, and proposes
to make 1t "felter"-so to speak.
Fred is almost weaned from politics
being now manager of the Baker
Stock company, with headquarters in
Portland, and this is perhaps the last
dash he will take in Seattle politics.
That's why he wants to make it a
good, lively dash.
Aside from politics, the only thing
Mr., Piper would talk about Yesterday
was the honesty of men in the theatri.

Of Norton Sound In that cold region
of Alaska all the boys are obliged
to take a sweat bath every week, and
this bath is no joke.
A fire of driftwood is built in the
center of the floor of the kashim-the
oneroomed house where the men and
boys Of a village pass most of their
ltime-and when the smoke has pass
ed off and the wood is reduced to red,
glowing Goals a cover is put over the
smoke hole in the roof and the place
becomes Intensely hot
The boys then must take off their
clothes and sit about the furnace.
like apartment until their skin be.
comes as red as the she'll of boiled
lobster and seems on the point of
bllstering.
Owing to the intense heat the bath.
ers are Obliged to wear respirators to
protect their lungs. These respirators
are pads Of shavings bound together,
concave on the inside and convex on
the outside, and large enough to cover
the mouth, nose, and part of the
cheeks of the wearer.
Across the inside runs little wool
en- bar which is held in the teeth to
keep the respirator in place
The boys sit there until they are
dripping with perspiration. They
then rush outside into the intense
cold and roll in the snow.

four and FIVE years in investigating ,
