who have filled our Office for the past
ten days paying their assessments,
some of them standing in line for two
hours waiting their turn to contribute
their dollar, and receive their receipt
for the same. OF the hundreds who
claimed to understand that he would
never have to pay any more assessments
than the $3.50 admittance fee, and to
him it was explained that the Associa-
ton had buried over eighty of its mem
bers during the past two years, each
of whom received a respectable $4,000
burial, who had only paid the $3.50, and
had he been one of that number the
above amount would have been all he
would have contributed toward the ex-

There could be no revolt at an as

She knew the Way.

PORT TOWNSEND, June 30.-For
the first time in the course of 72 con-
secutive voyages, the we'll known bark
entine Klikitat, Captain r. D. Cutler
commanding, is not now bounding over
the pillows In the direction of Honolu-
lulu but is, instead, making Roadway
for San Pedro with a cargo of lumber
taken aboard at Port Gamble. So I'M
usual was the procedure that after the
vessel had cleared the customs tele-
phoned the local agents of the vessel
to know if a mistake had not been
made in making out the clearance pa
pers.
The new destination of the Klikitat
revives the tradition along the water
front that the Klikitat could make
the voyage to Honolulu unattended by
master or seamen if given a proper
start off the cape the old seadogs ar
guing that the vessel had gotten into
rut which would successfully carry
her to the midocean territory, and it
is even argued by the wiseacres that
when Captain Cutler gets off the Cali
fornia coast and attempts to drive the
KHkitat toward San Pedro the old
packet will balk and, taking the bit in
her teeth probably continue On to I'm
Gle Sans new territory in mid-Paci-
ffc.
1t is a significant fact in connection
with the II round trips he has made in
all seasons of the succeeding years,
that Captain Cutler never had a seri-
Gus accident of any sort

STILL LOOKING
FOR CONE MAUGH

The cruiser Tacoma while on her voy-
age to the Atlantic Station, via Cape
Horn, will keep lookout for the miss
ing Conemaugh. The San Francisco
Bulletin of July says:
A final attempt will be made to locate
the missing steamer Conemaugh by the
United States cruiser Tacoma, which
left this port yesterday afternoon for
that purpose. The Tacoma is fully
equipped for a long cruise and it may
be several months before she returns
to this port except in the event that
she may find some trace of the steamer
which those versed in maritime mat
tiers believe has gone to the bottom.

on the second rebound swing with your
right, and thus alternate. A swing
travels too far and is thus too slow
TO permit of hitting on the hrst re-
bound. You may even be unable to
strike on the second rebound. If so,
try il on the third, alternating left

tinUe to put force and precision into
your blows.
You viii be astOnished to see what
tremendous power you can put into
swing when there is no fear Of hurt
ing any one and no danger of being
blocked or countered.
Hit the bag squarely-not with an
upward or downward twist. In oe-
livering heavy blows care should be
taken not TO stand too close to the
bag. Learn to gauge your distance. u
step in and out as though in a regular
boxing match. and to keep on the
move all the time. Do not stand still
and punch, but side-steD, advance, re-
treat, etc. etc, constantly.
Remember, also, that if the bag
moves awkwardly or flies off at the
wrong angle, the fault is all yours
Keep your temper and try TO do bet

hesitate 10 remind you of your defects
and may take on himself the blame
for your mistakes, the punching bag
viii show you no such consideration.
il reflects your skill or lack of skill as
truthfully as your mirror reflects your
face.
Swings and hooks cannot. of course,
be practiced on the double-ender bag.
The sides of the doorway prevent free
scope Of the arms in dealing circular
blows. But on each variety Of bag all
the straight" blows known to boxing
may be used.
Everything in bag punching depends
on striking the bag at the proper angle
and at exactly the right moment. Your
blow should land as the bag is swing
ing toward you and while il is as near
~ as possible in the center of the ring.
Stand close TO the bag and lead with
right or left mot too hard at frsD; as
the bag rebounds toward you, do not
step back, but duck, either straight
or to the side. This will give you
splendid practice in all the varieties
of ducldng.
