A NIGHT WITH THE WOLVES,
ssSssss

NNAAA W. AAos
From the wilds of Carp Lake,
Michigan, comes an account Of peri
lous adventure with wolves, not I'M
ike those Of u forefathers in pio-
neer days. On the afternoon of
March II MI. George Bigge, who
lives at the Nonesuch Mine, twenty
miles out of Ontonagon, was on his
way home from that place with a
load OF supplies in a long pack. Night
overlook him before he had covered
more than half the distance. He con
tlnued his journey, but between nine
and ten O'Clock az startled by the
bowling Of wolves close at hand.
He had no weapons, and urged
his horse to a faster gait, but as the
road is up a heavy grade, progress
was slow at best. He had gone
only a short distance farther when
he noticed twenty-five Or thirty
wolves emerge from the brush into
the roadway just behind him. On
the front of his conveyance was a
lantern with a reflector. Mr.. Bigge
seized this, and turned the strong
light upon the wolves. 1t frightened
them so that they skunk back into
the shadows of the woods, but soon
became holder, and began closing
in again.
He now realized that he was in
a desperate plight. In the pung was
a tin pail and a quantity of hay.
Filling the pail with hay and setting
it in the rear of the pung, he applied
a match. The blaze cowed the ami
mails. The fire was kept burning
brightly, and the team urged for
ward.
For a time the wolves held back.
But they gradually came closer
again, advancing along the sides of
the road. The supply of hay gave
out. In desperation Mr.. Bigge tore
open a box of canned goods, and
commenced hurting cans at them
with some effect, checking their pro-
gress for the third time.
The stock of cans was soon ey-
h%austed, however, and once more
the bowling pack closed up behind.
The man was now in despair; but
Immediately an opening in the for
est showed ahead, and as the pant
ing horses drew into it, the wolves
dropped back.
The place was an abandoned mine
property where several OF the build
ings were still standing. Lashing
the horses on, Mr.. Bigge reached
one of these old structures and Sc
cured his team inside it, but was
obliged to leave the pung and robes
to the pursuing pack.
In this old shed, which luckily
had a door that could be b~arricaded,
he passed the night with his horses.
Toward morning the wolves lett
the place, but not until they had
torn the robes to shreds and trod-
den the snow down hard all round
the old shed.-Youth's Companion.

FOR LIFE.

The professional faster" who goes
without food for four or five weeks,
who is carefully watched and tended,
and whose progress is chronicled by
the daily papers, is but a trifler in
the experience Of starvation COM
pared with the castaWay fisherman
of the Grand Banks. The New York
Sun prints an account which includes
several adventures that make the
performances Of DR.. Tanner read like
child's play. 1t seems almost incred-
ible that a scantily clad man could
live for twenty-nine days on a barren
rock without food or drink, blistered
by the hot III in the daytime and
benumbed by the nights cold. Yet
a Newfoundland fisherman went
through such IN ordeal, and lives TO
tell the tale. In 1904 two trawlers
remained adrift for eleven days, with
only a small jug of water to afford
them subsistence. When found they
were lying insensible on the bottom
Of the dory.
Terrible as the sufferings Of these

outclassed by the miseries of those
who go astray in winter. Two dory
mates were caught in a midwinter
snowstorm 100 miles off Newfound-
land a few years ago. They lost sight
of their vessel in the blizzard, and
tried to row to land, one toiline at
the oars while the other bailed out
the boat.
When night came they made a
drag or sea anchor Of trawl kegs.
While thus engaged Blackburn's nit
tens were washed overheard, and
with naked hands his plight was des-
perate. But he CALAMITY held III.
The next day his comrade collapsed.
and the third morning froze to death.
Blackburn, taking the mitts and
socks from the dead man. tried TO
cover his own hands, which were now
positively frozen into the shane Of
the grip on the oars so that he could
not straighten them.
Days passed and he toiled or with
out food or drink. On the evening
OF the fifth day he reached the coast
and moored his boat at a deserted
fishing wharf.
His work was not over, for he had
promised to give his companion a
burial OF shore.
Satisfying his thirst by eating
fresh snow, Blackburn lay on A bea,
OF nets all night, the agony of his
hands preventing sleep. The next
morning he found that the dory had
sunk with the body still in it. With
great difficulty he hauled the boat on
the rocks and got the body upon the
wharf above. Then getting into he
dory once more he rowed all dav-
seeking signs Of human beings. At
hiGhtfall he came upon a little settle
ment, but would not accept the prof
tered hospitality until some of the
men had set out to bury his dead
companion.
AS for himself he lost all his fne-
ers and toes. Yet this man has since
won lame as a daring mariner, hav-
ing twice crossed the Atlantic alone
III a dory, besides making a cruise Of
the seaboard from Boston to New
Orleans without any companion.

ESCAPED DEATH BY MIRACLES

Patrick Stewart, of West Philadel-
phla, lives to tell the story of how he
m~iraculously escaped death DESPITE
the tact that he was buried beneath
twenty tons of dirt and stone from
9.3O a. N. until II O'Clock. when he
was rescued by a group of laborers.
Stewart says that a man named
Michael Kennedy was preparing a
blast in a quarry near Second street
ana wyoming avenue, and as he ic-
nlted the dynamite fuse he warned
stewart OF his danger, but before he
could leave the place the explosion
took place. He was standing under
a nigh embankment and the conc1s-
sion loosened the mountain of dirt
and stone.
fortunately Stewart fell into 3
hole in the ground, and was first COW
ered with a large stone which gave
MIN the opportunity to breathe. the
enbankment of dirt covering him
July three or four feet. The labor
ers n removed the dirt in douh1e
quick time were surprised at not
flndlng a dead man, and hurried
Stewart to the Observation-Disclosures

GIRL KILLS CINNAMON BEAR

GIRL KILLS CINNAMON BEAR.
Miss Bertha Jones, a recent arrival
IN the Entiat Valley, is said to have
ceieoTated her coming by shooting
ana killing a 1000 pound cinnamon
bear, one of the largest ever seen in
that section.
Miss Jones, who lives in WaIla
Walla, went to Entiat to join her
brother, who is prospecting Muddy
Creek. Last Friday morning, her
brother being absent, Miss Jones left
camp for a few minutes for water.
On her return she found a bear in
SIDE the tent investigating and bolt
ing everything eatable in sight. A
5000 rife was close at hand. Miss
Jones killed the intruder at the first
shot.-Spokane Chronicle.

SWIMMERS.

In the water the Hawaiians are
absolutely fearless. AS soon as they
a walk, little babies are taken to
battle in the sea, and in a very short
time they + able to swim like por-
poises. The author of Hawaiian
Yesterdays gives a Renaissance of
the courage of the natives:
Our party had arrived in Hilo
Bay, and we were all seated upon
the platform of a big double canoe,
padding ashore from the schooner
which lay out in the harbor. A
throng of natives lined the beach,
waiting to welcome their returning
teachers.
Just as we were entering the surf
that rolled upon the sandy shore,
through some accident the canoes
suddenly filled and sank, leaving us
all sitting half submerged in the
shallow water. With a loud roar
of "AuWe!" (oh and alas!) the as
sembled crowd rushed as one man
into the waves and bore us safely
to land.
On one occasion, about the same
date. a coasting vessel was upset in
a violent sQuall between the islands
Of Hawaii and Maui. Although the
nearest land vas twenty miles dis
tant, the native crew and passengers
boldly struck out to swim ashore,
and several OF them did come safe
to land after Il night and day in the
deep.
Among the survivors Of the wreck
was d poor wonan who for several
hours swan with her husband upon
her back; but the poor man died of
cold and fatigue. and had to be aban-
doned at last before the coast was
reached.

G. w. lNGLE,
Harness and Saddle Maker and Dealer.
Milton, Oreoon.

Harness and Saddle Maker and Dealer,
Milton, Oregon.
Ihere are many old pioneers inter-
ested in business enterprises in Milton.
They have not built metropolis here,
but they have done better. They have
made a clean, moral town, and have
reared sons and daughters worthy in
character to occupy places of honor
in any community.
The subject of this sketch, Geo. w.
lngle, is one of these old pioneers.
He came here from Iowa forty-fOur
years ago. Most of his life has been
passed on farm, but being a typical
western man he did not need to serve
an apprenticeship to a harness maker
before engaging in the harness bust
ness. He simply began business and
went ahead, just as another who had
been reared to the trade might have
done, and succeeded. 1t is told of
him that he once had for a short time
competitor, who was a skilled har-
ness and saddle maker, and that one
day the competitor came to realize
that he was out of the race and Of
fered to sell out. The old pioneer
bought his stock, and since then has
had no competitor.
Mr.. 1ngle carries an excellent and
well-assorted stock of light and heavy
harness, a few saddles, blankets,
robes, whips, and the general etc. that
go to make up the harness and saddler
stock. Something of the Importance
of his trade may be had from the
fact that he sold during the past year
two hundred sets of heavy harness,
and twenty-five sets of light harness.
This would not be considered a great
business for city. but for town
the size of Milton it is very excep-
tional, and is evidence that Milton en-
joys trade much larger than is COM
mon in towns of its size, generally.
Mr.. Ingle makes a specially of hand
ling high grade of oak-tanned har-
ness. The best of everything for his
patrons is his rule, and it is said of
him that he never loses a customer
And that is the best record a business
man can have.

These prices are wide ranged and are

What is most needed in this country

with means sufficient at command to
provide homes, or at least enough to
make a partial payment. The result
is always sure-no Industrious person
of average judgment ever failed to
make ends meet in this favored re-
gion. The maximum of results are in
variably obtained from the minimum
of labor. Crops never fail, and that
contingency does not come into con-
sideration in looking over our pros

Prescott, Wash.

In point of important agencies con-
trolled and variety of stock carried,
houses of it's class in Walla Walla
county outside of the city of Walla
Walla. Located as it is, in the very
heart of the celebrated blue stem
wheat belt, it draws an extensive trade
from one of the most prosperous farm
ing communities in southern Washing
ton.
H. S. Fender is both by preference
and training dealer in the every day
needs of the farm. Having grown to
manhood on a farm, he knows how to
judge Of the merits of implements, We
vicles and machinery used by the
farmer, and he accordingly handles the
best. 1t is too, his reputed practical
knowledge, added to his we'll known
business standing, that has enabled
him to secure the following line OF
local exclusive agencies: The agency
for John Deere plows and harrows;
Champion cutting machinery, includ-
ing mowers, binders and headers;
Henney buggies and other vehicles,
Winona wagons, Balm wagons, Zenith
stoves and ranges, Slower gasoline en-
gines and Aermoter windmills.
Beginning with shelf hardware and
going through the list of mechanics
tools, farmers small tools, pumps,
stoves, ranges, blacksmiths' supplies,
builders supplies, including paints,
oils and glass, and everything pertain
ing to a first-class hardware store, the
stock is all that can be desired and
much more than is expected in a town
the size Of Prescott.
In addition to the above, he operates

a tin and sheet metal shop. Also a
we'll equipped harness shop, which
supplies, and keeps up, ane of the
largest stocks of light and heavy har-
ness to be found in Walla Walla
county, not excepting the stocks car
ried by the Walla Walla dealers.
Mr. Fender established his business
here five years ago the present season.
1t is enough to say of his success that
it has been greater than he had dared
to hope for; but not greater than his
honorable methods of business, correct
habits and untiring industry have
merited. In the nature of his business
he must needs extend credit, and
makes terms especially favorable to

CITY HOTEL.

J.. e. McQuarry, Proprietor, Milton,
Oregon.
The City Hotel of Milton, Oregon,
is typical of the best class of hotels
in country villages, where one is apt
to feel more at home than they can
possibly feel at the more pretentious
hostelries of larger towns and cities.
The house is centrally located on the
main street of Milton, and is only two
stories in height Along its whole
front extends line of fine shade trees
which give to the house more the ap-
pearance of an imposing country
home, than that of a hotel.
Of the twenty rooms of the house
every one is an outside room, having
the advantage of both light and sun
shine. The house is electric lighted,
and enjoys the service of good water
system 1t has, too, the advantage
of being in the very center OF much
celebrated fruit and vegetable section,
and is thereby able to serve its guests
with the best and freshest fruits and
vegetables of orchard and garden.
Mine host, J. E. McQuary, is an old
boniface, he having been fifteen years
in the hotel business in Milton. How
ever, being asked what share of the
credit for his excellent hotel Is due
to Mrs. McQuary, he replied, "Oh, it
is all hers, and the girls" meaning his
daughters. That acknowledgment
does honor both to Mr.. McQuary's
modesty and gallantry; but truth
justified the speech to a great extent
all the same, for the part taken by
mother and daughters in conducting
this little home-like hotel is by no
means incOnspicuOus.
The travelling statesmen all stop at
the City Hotel, and they know where
to go for the best of everything.
In spite of the fact that Mr.. Nc
Quarry gives all merit to the ladies,
it is due him to say he is pleasant,
genial, accommodating host, and is
much esteemed by his neighbors and
the travelling public.

In fact, Mosgrove & Co.'S general
Athena are really department stores
in miniature. Each carries a stock
of between thirty and forty thousand
stock everything needed to eat and to
wear, and for general use in the
every day life of the people.
These stores were established by
Matt. Mosgrove, who was formerly a
commercial traveller of early days, and
is well known all over the Northwest.
Much of his success depends on his
knowledge of goods, and his ability
as a buyer.
