The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1905-04-20

The Western Coal and Iron company of Port
land, Ore, with its prime pal office in Vancouver
WASH, has acquired four full sections of coal land
1850 acres, situated in the Nicola valley, on Cold
Water river, B. c., about 100 miles northeast of Van
couver B. c., and about 50 miles south from the c.
P R. main line Spence's bridge and SO miles north
from the boundary line. These 1850 acres are esti-
mated to contain 2oooooooo tons of high-grade, BIZ
luminous coal the quality of which has been pro-
nounced by the best coal experts to be superior to
any coal known of the Mississippi river and is
unexcelled for steam backsmthing and domestic
use and equal to the famous Crows Nest for smelt-

TO KILL a town-underrate your

disc and manufacturer buy everything
you need elsewhere IL preference to

to advertise. If this won't kill the most
prosperous town in America, it may be
considered fire proof and proof against
hard times.-Courier of Feb. %, 1870.
These words of George Warren
written thirty five years ago are
as true today as they were then
as they will be thirty five years
from now, as true as the gospel.
In those times there were some
slow people here we suppose,
enough to keep the town at a
standstill for years and years.
We have not as great a percen-
tage Of them now and that is the
reason we have made such strides
lately. Let us not fall back into
the rut, boldly face any issue 'nd

thing. anything, just SO 1t is for
the good of ourselves our bust
ness, our town.. Don't close your
eyes to the advantages around us
and don't be inclined to view
pesslmistically anything thrust
before us simply because 1t means
a change from the way we have
been in the habit of doing.

HON. OLLIE M. JAMES. who was
II at the Seelbach a few nights
ago on his way to Washington,
spoke of the fight that is now on in
Congress over the statehood bill.
Both republicans and democrats,
said he, "want the new state. The
new states. The democrats, in fact,
want them more than the Republi-
cans,or rather, they want more of
them. We believe the people of
those territories are right when they
ask that four states be created in
stead Of two, according to the state
hood bill. The gentlemen who have
this bill in charge are meeting with
all kinds Of difficulties. The prob
lem that is perhaps perplexing them
most is the question Of the name to
be given the more southerly of the
two prospective commonwealth. 1t
was thought at first that Arizona
was a distinctive and familiar name
that would do very well tor the state
in which is to be included New Mex
leo and Arizona. Protests and sug-
gestions have, however, come in
from various quarters. and now
enough names are offered to re-
christen every state in the Union.
Some people toink that the extensive
irrigation works that the government
is undertaking in that section should
be iddlcated in the name of the state
and they suggest 'Irrigatia,' 'Irri-
ga and Irrigane. Others less pro-
gressive, would name it from its
present most prominent character
istic, suggesting AFRICA which, l
fear, is to near arnica to be popular.
'Montezuma' and a host Of other
names have been suggested, but
when all the word mechanics have
had their say, the old name of Ari-
IONA will probably be chosen as the
most familiar and distinctive, even
ifthe people of Arizona proper will
only make small proportion of the
new state. louisville Herald.

A Tramp's Lecture.

A tramp asked for a drink in a
saloon. The request was granted,
and when in the ACT of drinking the
profered beverage, one of the young
men present exclaimed;
"Stop make US a speach It is
poor liquor that doesn't unloose a
mans tongue. +"
The tramp hastily swallowed
down the drink, and as the liquor
coursed through his blood he
Strengthened himself up and stood
before them with grace and dignity
that all his rags and dirt could not
obscure.
sGentlemen," said he, 81 look
tonight at you and myself, and it
seems to me that l look upon the
picture of blighted manhood. This
bloated face was once as handsome
as yours. This stumbling figure
once walked as proudly as yours, for
l mas a man in the world of men.
I too, once had home and friends
and position. had a wife as beau
tiful as an artists dream but / drop
ped the priceless pearl of her honor
and respect into a cup of wine, and,
like Cleopatra, saw it dissolve, then
quaHed it down in the brimping
draught. had children as sweet
and as pure as the flower Of spring,
and saw them die and fade Under
the blighted curse of a drunken
father. I had home where love
lit the fame upon the altar and
ministered before it, but put
out the holy fire, and darkness and
desolation ruled it its stead. / had
aspirations and ambitions that soar
ed as high and as pure as the morn
ing star, but broke and bruised
their beautiful wings, and at last
strangled them that / might hear
their cries no more. Today l am a
husband without a wife, a father
without child, tramp without a
home, and a man in whom every
good impulse is dead. All have
been swallowed up in the maelstrom
of drink"
The tramp ceased speaking; the
glass fell from his nervous fingers
and was shattered into fragments on
the floor. The swinging doors we're
pushed and shut again, and when
the little group looked up the tramp
was gone.-New Orleans Picayane.

that ten regiments Of cavalry

deer he would have been seen to a cer- tainty half a mile away, and the whole herd would have been off. Changes of atmosphere, from cIearness to mist, seem to affect deers' sense of sight very much as they affect the sight of man. It is curious that at night the deer become far bolder than in the day-curious, because one would sup pose that in their natural woodland state their enemies of the carniyorous kind would be apt to be nocturnal; but but perhaps our Scottish red deer have lived for sufficient number of genera tions on the hill to learn that their chief, if not only, carnivorous enemy is man, and that his ways are not gen. orally nocturnal on the hill. The hear ing of the deer appears to be quick, but not abnormal, and perhaps this is a sense that has not as much use on the hill as it might have in the wood land, where the crack of dry branch might give notice of foes coming. All moose hunters bear testimony to tn the extraordinary quickness of that great beast in hearing the crack of a twig beneath the hunters foot in the woodlands which are it's home.
 Like other animals, but perhaps more than any other kind, the timidity of the deer differs at different sea- sons, and it is very difficult to believe that the ivy about the shooting lodge wall can have been nibbled down in winter by the very animal that you are exhausting all you ruses, with the aid of spy-glasses and all the science and experience of trained hillmen, to approach within 200 yeards or more, in the autumn. He is the same animal, nevertheless. In the winter, especially in times of snow, he will come down about the houses as if he were one of the domestic kind, and there is nothing that is not protected from him on which he will not brouse. Whether it is that hunger has driven out fear, or that he has a knowledge that man will not take such unfair advantage of his necessities as to kill him at such a time, his whole nature seems changed, and he is as trustful as he was suspi- cious in the autumn. His moods and lenses are very various, and there are few animals that seem to put so many and such fierc emotions into each single year of life.-Westminster Gazette.

 In the works of Ambrose Pare there is a chapter dealing with "The means and manner to repair or supply natural or accidental defects or wants in man s body" He describes the use of artificial tongue to help those who cannot speak by reason of it's loss, and also gives a drawing of this instrument and a full description of how 1t should be fixed in the mouth.

HIS WISH.

The following colloquy actually occur ed during one of the earlier battles in the Philippines. A detachment of American infantry, under orders to sup port a. section of Captain Reillys bat- tery, were halted for quite a while on a perfectly fiat military road in full view and fine range of the Filipino. trenches. Of course, to lie fiat on the road was the only available "use of cover''
 In this detachment was an Irishman who had served his time with the co1ors in the British army before he enlisted with Uncle Sam. As g. result he had been very prone to tell how the British soldiers did everything. AS a result he was necessarily piled with questions as to his experiences. While the bullets were 'plopping'' down the road and kicking up the gravel, a young Yankee suddenly asked. Say Mike, what do the British soldiers do with their heads in place like this?"
 Quick as a flash came the retort, i A British soldier has no head, sorr!"
 After a full two-minute pause, Mike continued, "Howiver, be that as it may, I wish I could pick up this d. road and stan it on edge feminist mel''- Harper's Weekly. \

 The Dutch surgeon Verduyn (1696) constructed an artificial leg consisting of wooden foot and a hollow copper cylinder lined with channels and strengthened with steel splints. There was hinge joint at the knee. The apparatus was attached to the thigh by means of a broad band.
 About the same time (1692) Lamz- weerde constructed a leather hand in which pen could be held.
 In 1755 H. Raxaton constructed an artificial limb by means of which a cavalryman was able to continue his field service.
 In 1761 Laurent supplied a man with a pair of artificial arms Gavin Wilson of Edinburgh, toward the end of the eighteenth century, constructed a. hand in which knife or fork could be held and on the first and second fingers of which an apparatus was attached for holding a pen. He also made legs for amputations above and below the knee, modelled on the apparatus of Rayaton. They were fastened to the body by a strap running over the shoulder of +he oposite side.

 His fair measure of success no more spoiled him than his long life of ad- versity had broken his spirit; he still toiled on at his furnaces, devOting every spare second to his art, steadily forging ahead, Frugal and simple in his nature, he laid aside what he ac- cumulated from his wages and the sale of his pictures, gave up his job as ianitor, and tried his fortune as an Austin grocer-a change that his weakening eyesight made imeprative, for had he waited longer he might have been obliged to abandon his painting altogether.
 Fortune favored his pluck and per- severance; he made success of his little business and so has been enabled to send his son, who inherits the fa- thers talent, to school at the Art 1n- stitute, and to give his daughter, who is a tlented pianist, the benefit of the best musical instruction. His own big reward has come in the eight canvases now exhibited at the first annual display of the Swedish American Art Association. Versatile, poetic, downright in their simplicity and sincerity, these eight pictures tell the tsory of triumph over hardship, obstacles and Encouragement, and they give Hallberg high rank among the best marine painters of America l..
