CHAPTER XVI.
After Twenty Years.

A steamboat was gliding down the
Columbia. It was crowded with pas
sengers, gaily dressed in summer attire.
Children were running about the
deck playing and shouting. A band
dispersed music in the large dining
room. Lovers we're talking silly, just
as they always do on steamboats,. Men
were playing cards and drawing at
their cigars in the smoking room.
Local passengers were pointing out the
important landmarks along the rver
and relating the history Of the same to
tourists from the East.
It was just twenty years after the
war between the scuthside and north
side fishermen at the mouth of the
river. Time had wrought its great
changes here as at other points in the
great Pacific Northwest. Popular sum
mer resorts had been built up on the
beach of the ocean on the south and
north sides of the river. Great crowds
aocked to these points every year. The
rivalry of the olden times still existed.
It was not over tile fishing industry
now for that was established through
the process Of hatcheries aided by the
two states, and had become one Of the
stable institutions Of the country.
The people now claimed supremacy
in advancement and superiority Of sum-
mer resorts. Seaside" on the south
claimed it was the best on the coast.
''Long Beach" on the north claimed it
was the Long Beach" Of the Pacific.
The boat was steaming for the north
side resort. 1t was the pride of its
owners and the idol of its crew. It cut
the water like a knife and rode the
waves with the stateliness Of queen.
In beautiful golden letters it bore
the name "Sankala."
The boat had just rounded the upper
point Of Sand island. A middle aged
man and woman were seated side by
side on the upper deck locking out on
the water. They were casually con-
versing about the different landmarks
along the island and north shore.
'sDo you remember that placer" in
quired the man as the boat glided by
the ruins Of an old fish trap.

"You are right. replied the man,

you from the wound, but you know il

The couple went on discussing mat.
ters familiarity as the boat steamed
across the river to the north shore.
''Do you see that man and woman
inquired a citizen to a tourist whom he
had met on the boat. s'Well, they
have history in this portion of the
world. This boat is named for the
woman. Her maiden name was San

Having His Own Way.
One evening the stage driver set
down on my lawn wooden box, from
which proceeded curious noises. "UhI
Oh! Uhl Wow! Wow! Scratch,
scratch, scratch! Wowl Uh-h-h-h-hw
These were a few Of the sounds which
were pouring out Of the cracks in the
box, and as we went up to investigate
we saw a large card, on which was
written: please water me and give
me something to eat, but do not give
me fruit or sweets, as it makes me
sick. l like milk. / am for Ernest
Harold Baynes, The Haven Cottage,
Newport, N. H." tbs was all very
interesting so far as it went, but no
clew to the contents of the box, so
with a hammer and chisel pried off
the cover, and out popped the little
black head of a baby bear.
"Oh, the little dear" cried lady
who was present, at the same time
springing forward and catching up the
cub in her arms.
THE little dear" however. had been
penned up for more than forty-eight
hours, and moreover he was literally
as hungry as a bear and in no humor
for being petted. So he promptly bit
the lady, tore long rent in her dress
with his hind paws, and she quickly
dropped him, having learned one of
the most important rules in the study
of animals: Never take liberties with
any creature until you know some
thing Of its habits" This rule applies
in the case of skunks. A bowl of
crackers and milk met with his In
slant approval, and without waiting
for 1t to be set before him, he stood
up on his hind legs, seized the rim
of the basin with his paws and hoist
ed himself into it. Then it was set
on the ground, whereupon he lay
down, threw his fore paws around it,
and fairly buried his little face in the
food.
Except when he is hungry Jimmy
is not cross; he simply wants to have
his own way, and then he is as happy
and good-natured as can be. But
having his own way means getting
into all sorts of mischief, and while
his antics are often very amusing, they
are sometimes very embarrassing. He
is particularly fond Of ladies and girls,
and he seldom sees one without run
ming up to her and clasping her about
the skirts with his fore paws ana pit
ing at her in playful manner. II
she happens to be nervous, and runs
away, Jimmy" is after her at his
best pace and never fails to catch
her unless she takes refuge inside the
house.-Wom Home Companion.

MINIS SUTRo Co
.Ilm Butler I'M Carson.

Yesterday Jim Butler, the father
of Tonopah, and all round good fell
low, arrived in this city. He came
by way Of ~Placerville, anu had a
lively experience on the road over,
says the Carson Appeal.
Jim was riding on the rear seat OF
the stage, when the driver hit "a rock.
Jim was iolted from his seat and his
head came in contact with the bows
that hold the cover on. He says that
the only thing that kept him in the
stage WIS the toughness of the can
vass over his lr -. The top of his
head bears e>itsace of his experience.
When asked about Tonopah and
the rest OF the south, Jim Immediately
hits up a good story and sticks &c
the first story last Nonopah is the
greatest mining camp on earth, while
the other towns along the line come
in for a good share of praise from the
man who knows. He states thai
Tonopah, at the present time, has
the finest showing since the discovery
of the camp. The new strikes il
several districts have proven the
depth and permanency Of the felC
and the lode is now certain of grea
depth, which means prosperity for
quarter Of a century in sight.
He walked up to the passenge
depot yesterday morning and whel
the big double header pulled out 70
Reno be remarked that the engine
and trains were the best evidence o
the value of Tonopah and the neigh
boring cities, and it looks like he wa
right.
He expects to leave for the seen
OF action in a day or two, or as 500
as he can tear himself away from th
shade of this city.

Nevada is a wonderful state in more
WAYS than one aud he believes 1t will
have a population of at least 250, 600
within two years. On their journey
the H~olbrooks found a ledge over
twenty FIVE feet wide, three miles
from Hot Springs, in the Hot Creek
range, that containes rich values,
but someone had been there before
them and had located all the ground
in the vicinity.

quite a rush from Tonopah to locate

is most vague concerning it,
