HISTORIC HOUSES IN SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON

avenue and c street, was the scene Of
many social events in the latter part of
the eighteenth century. Many persons of
repute made this famous old house their
temporary domicile while sojourning in
the national capital. 1t is claimed that at
one time this was the favorite stopping
place of Gen. George Washington.
\
Some of the oldest dwellings to be
found in the southeast section of the city
were located directly opposite the old
Varnum Hotel, in square 800 the present
site of the new House of Representatives
office building. Famous among these
We're Secretary Stanton's home, DR.. Burr's
old mansion, Lawyer French's home and
Brooks Hotel famous as stopping place
for senators and representatives. but

Gibbon as tender to the army posts on the
Potomac, arrived a Fort Washington FRI

the route between this city and Fort Wash

The Gushing is somewhat larger than the
Gibbon, being % feet long. 20 feet wide and
having depth of hold of 10 feet She reg

net tons more than the Gibbon. She is
steel-hull vessel and was built for the
quartermaster's department at Baltimore
in 1899, from plans prepared by department
experts.
The Gushing has been stationed at Fort
Dade, Fla. and came to this city from
that post, using the inland waters OF the
coast for the trip when it could be done,
but owing to her draft the greater part OF
the trip had to be made outside. The GLIB
bon, ii is understood, will leave here in
day or two for Fort Dade, TO which post
she has been assigned.
The Gushing is one of the largest tugs In
the quartermaster's department service.

there has not been most room for it about
the house. Window boxes are. of course,
an Old contrvance, but they are easy to

One housekeeper who has tried this form

yard has brought to the attention Of the
readers many things that have been done

accompanying pictures tell story in them

Washington where early this spring there
was the usual mass of builders rubbish and
unpromising mortar beds commonly left IN
the wake of the men who put up new
dwelling. There was not much yard to be-
gin with. and what there was did not seem
very susceptible of culture But all the
space was utilized. Quick growing vines
were trained over the fences palms and
potted plants were placed in the corners.
The areaway, which is usually a gateway
into avenues in the modern city mouse, was
made into a bower with plants ana run

whence ferns and other hardy plants have
been brought at no expense save the trouble
of gathering them. The woods around
Washington are filled with a greater va

area in the United States. The plants that
flourish in the woods are all of them hardy
and require little attention save TO put them
in surroundings somewhat similar to those

first one built with a bay window in the
city of Washington. The residence re-

Hundred Thousand copher..

Courtenay Gazette: The gopher
bounty has been exhausted, the hum
dred thousand mark being reached on
Tuesday of this week. This means
that there has been something doing
In the gopher business since the
commissioners decided to pay a boun-
ty for the tails and the amount of
good that has been done would be
hard to estimate. One hundred thous-
and gophers destroyed at this time
OF the year means a great many more
than that in August as it is estimated
that every female gopher will breed
about a dozen before that time. Not
only this but an estimate that twenty
per cent of the number killed died in
the holes and it was impossible to
get the tails would make great many
more than the hundred thousand. BY
the time each of those around the
country who were collecting the tails
was notified that the bounty had all
been used It is quite likely that sever
al thousand more had been taken in
SO 1t will be that in all probability
there were about 10000 of the little
pests destroyed and all it has cost the
county is $4,000.

Women Do Battle.

Grand Forks Herald: News has
reached here of an exciting battle with
horsewhips at Dan Regan's farm near
Webster, village north of Devils
Lake. The trouble occurred between
Mrs. W. v. Baker and the Baker Sis
tiers of Garske. The sisters and Mr..
Baker held joint claim to team of
horses, kept at Regan's place. The
Baker girls drove over to Regan's to
get the team. Finding no one at home
they tied the team to their buggy
and started for Devils Lake. Mean
while Mrs. Baker had returned from a
nearby church, and finding the horses
gone started in pursuit. Coming up to
the sisters she began belaboring them
with a horsewhip and they returned
the compliment. The battle started
with all the women in their buggies.
The horses became frightened, broke
away and threw the occupants of the
buggies to the ground. Each woman
then got whip and a lively scrim-
mage resulted, the Baker sisters be-
ing worsted. They escaped, however.
and then it was found that Mrs
Bakers two children, who had &C
companied her, had become lost in the
tall grass, and until they were found
there was all kinds of tumult. Mrs.
Baker was formerly Miss Regain of
Devils Lake. The families are at
enmity and trouble arises every time
they meet. The women were all more
or less disfigured in the mixup. The
horses that broke away during the ex-
element have not yet been located.

Need Double inspection.

Forum: Numerous complaints have
been made recently on account Of the
hardship worked on stock raisers Oh
account OF the double inspection In
sisted upon by the federal authorities
pr. Ramsay, who is in charge Of the
work Of the bureau of animal industry
in the states Of Montana and North
and South Dakota, says that the
double inspection Is the only practi.
cal way to insure perfect inspection.
"The cattle are first inspected on
the field before being loaded in the
cars" said Dr.. Ramsey this afternoon.
"The first inspection allows the ship.
ment to be taken out OF the state.
Then when the stock arrives at the
yards in Chicago, st. Paul or other
eastern points, scond inspection is
made.
'The second inspection enables
the authorities to keep check on
the inspectors in the field. Occas-
ionally it happens that cattle which
are passed on the field are found to
be infected when they arrive in the
east. This does not occur often and
when it does, the inspector who made
the first inspection does a lot of ex.
planning.
"The only remedy for the double in.
tine. With cooperation on the part of
spection is the raising Of the quar-
antine. With cooperation on the part OF
the cattle raisers in the infected dis.
tricts, the scabbies will be eradicated
soon and the quarantine raised"
