steamboatman, who nayigatcd the wa
tiers of Puget Sound for more than a
third OF century, died Monday, at
the Crystal Springs Sanitarium, Port

after their arrival in San Francisco,
his parents died, and he was adopted
by Capt. and Mrs. S. ID. Libby. Short.
ly afterwards they moved to Seattle,
and at the age of 10 the deceased was
captain of a steamer plying on the
Sound. In 1889 he assumed the man.
agement OF the Tacoma mill, a posi-.
ton he held for about three years,
wh'l he returned 10 navigation and
{ Jnsolidated the tug-boat interests un-
der the name of Puget Sound Tugboat
Co., with himself as manager. He re-
NAMED in that position till about a
year ago, when he was taken ill. He
was married in 1875 to Mary Collins,
who died in 1884, daughter Of the
well-known pioneer, John Collins.
Two children survive, Mrs. Albert
Buckingham and sou, F. Libby, en-.
gineer on one of the tug-boats. The

DEATH OF H. G. PAIGE-It is re-
ported that Henry G. Paige, the pio'
neer expressman, we'll known almost
everywhere throughout this State. who
spent last winter in this city, com
mitted suicide recently at Grangeville
Idaho. He was . man OF more than
ordinary ability, of positive nature
and numbered as consequence many
warm friends and bitter enemies. Hit
good traits, however, far overbalsnced
the bad ones, and there are many who
will sincerely regret his sad ending o.
q checkered life.

A COMPANY of Yukoners has been
formed to visit the North Pole, in
which several prominent residents Of
Alaska have embarked with much res.
olution. They will this winter make
test of methods of travel over snow
and ice. so as to be prepared for adopt.
ing the best methods. They do not
propose making the effort without the
knowledge and experience thus de-
rived, and very properly think that
it may be the means of complete sue
cess-something more than a glimpse
of the promised land such as Moses
had while at the head of the lost tribes
of Israel. The organization is decid.
eddy cosmopolitan. DIR. Anthony Va
mole, who will head the expedition, is q
Frenchman, and the Vice Presidents
are the American, the French, the
Scandinavian, the German and the
Italian consuls. They seem to be con
fident OF the feasibility of reaching
the point of destination, and it is sucl
feeling that presages success.

ELECTRIC COMPANIES Do NOT Pos.
sEss EMINENT DoMAIN.-The Supreme
Court is treating litigants to contin.
ual surprises in deciding, at times
abstruse, questions of law. One of the
late decisions handed down." Gas the
daily pencil.shovers call it) is that
light and power companies cannot
exercise the power of eminent do
main in condemning water supply or
other utilities for their own use. The
decision is based upon the suit brought
by the White River Power Co. against
the Tacoma Industrial Co. to condemn
and secure unused water. power claimed
by the latter company. The matter
was ably argued by attorneys from
nearly all the electric companies OF
the State.

CAPT. Harry Strive, Of Shanghai,
China, who is Gu visit to Seattle,
informs the P.-I. OF his opinion that
the spirit OF the Chinese boycott
OF American goods. is beyond control
OF that government. They are vim
dicative as we'll as impulsive people,
and will continue to think and act in
a given direction until some powerful
counter.infuence brings them back to
reason. He says that eff every Chin.
csc merchant should resolve to give
up the spirit of hostility, that it would
take a year or more to change the
policy that has been agreed upon.
The boycott was in preparation year
before it was declared, and it would
take fully that time for word to be
passed around that it had been de.
clared off,"

Consul-General Lay. That officer has
demanded an apology for the insulting

is nothing truthful or fair shown in
their attempt to control American

THE BOYCoTT Is UNLAWFUL AS A
MEANS FOR REDREss.-Judge Beatty,
of Idaho, in the U. 8. Circuit Court,
on the 30tb, in San Francisco, gives
the grounds for granting an injunction
against the boycott Of certain product
of Puget Sound beer. He says that
the word "unfair" has . significant
meaning to labor unions and their
friends; that the unanimity with
which they acted showed an united
body as we'll as organization, disci-
plined and trained as a military camp,
and that they understood the orders
from their head men to be commands
that must be implicitly obeyed. The
Injunction prohibits the use OF boycott
ting circulars or OF advertisements de-
signed to injure the business OF the
complainant, by boycotting or any
other means, of their product or pa.
irons.

AN IDEAL LABOR.DAY OBSERVANCE.
There was an appropriateness about
Labor-Day observance here, that has
seldom been afforded for practical ex-

of Monday was devoted to hard labor
in improving the park, and it was not
shirked, a large portion of the partici-
pants going early, fully armed with
vigor and resolution and other effective
tools for the good work. Then fol-

What King is Doing in Drainage.

Robert Bridges, who spent Labor
Day here and spoke at the Park cele-
bration, chairman Of a drainage COM
mission in King county which is en-
gagged in construction of big bitches
i'll the White and Black river low
land. for drainage and to prevent
flooding at times, when the Duwam-
ish and other rivers are unable to
carry off the overflow, gave some facts
while he was here that are of gen.
eral interest. He says work in hand
will cost about $4,000, and that it
consists OF three main bitches, each a
little over three miles in length, "a
feet wide and in some places involving
a depth Of Ii feet. Into these channels
many latterals flow, constituting an
entire length OF about ten miles more.
The work has been in progress seven
teen months, and the cost will he as
sessed to the lands benefited.
Mr.. Bridges thinks, however, that to
permanently drain the lands, at all
seasons, and to avoid freshets and
back water, that a much better plan
would be to straighten the Duwamish
river, or to lower the level of Lake
Washington. If the latter plan be
adopted, Cedar and Black rivers could
empty into it as we'll as the drainage
ditch without any disastrous overflow.
The Strengthening of the Duwamish is
a far better proposition. When it is
considered that the current has to
flow % miles from Black river juno.
ton to reach Underwater, only eight
miles distant in an airline, it will be
seen what benefit would result in
unrestricted drainage from a direct
cut, besides the advantage derived
from giving fresh-water channel, for
stripping the bottoms of deep.sea ves-
sells of barnacles. It would likewise
enhance the value OF all lands in the
Duwamish, Black and lower White
river valleys, and afford q navigable
stream for handling of much produce
and carrying in supplies.
Mr.. Photographed that by Wednes-
day the dredge would have reached
Black river, and the final work will
have been completed on the big work
that 10 expected to drain 5000 acres OF
a tract of the finest land in the State.

The same convention which has de.
creed that hats must be worn have
likewise declared that mirrors shall be
placed in the crowns thereof, probably
under the impression that this will
prove potent means of removing the
trend towards no head.wear. The pri.
mary use of the mirror is said to be
for enabling its owner to primp 1t odd
spells, unbeknown to all beholders; to
enable her to see if the rouge is on
evenly, or the powder is of the right
shade, or that curl hangs with the
roguish inclination that all the fair
ones affect. but there are other uses
that will strike at once the feminine
fancy. If one wants to see who that
loud-spoken individual is who sits be-
hind her, she has only to focus her hat
upon him and she is enabled to frown
at his aggressiveness without turning
her head to see him. Late corners
will be at her mercy, for she can ap-
parently be bent in reverential atti.
tude while keeping the aisle in line of
vision, and be able to tell whether hats
are on straight or the wraps worn
with the best artistic effects peculiar
to such drapery. The mother will be
able to keep her eye on the young
man who rides with her daughter, on
the back seat Of the surrey, and can
maintain q watch against rear.end
collision OF some reckless driver of the
frisky automobile.
The convention has decided that the
popular fall shades for hats shall be
light green and old rose. touched with
gold and purple, and in mid-winter
these hues shall be changed to plum
and dahlia. Lighter shades of pink
dahlia running into heliotrope and
lighter shades of green are prescribed
for the earlier fall. There are enough
mutations for profit, if they do make
