MOCLIpS BY THE sen.
The Biggest Seaside Hotel on the
North Pacific Coast.

A visit TO Moclips is interesting to an
oil resident Of Chehalis county ii for no
other reason than to observe the devel.
opment OF the past few years on North
Beach.
Prior to the advent III the railroad :his
section Was a. isolated as an island in
mid-ocean. Today the terminus OF the
road, Moclips, is a busting town OF 300
or 400 permanent inhabitants and a
transient population OF between 1905 and
2000 people.
The Moclips Beach hotel itself is a
demonstration of " hat the town is doing
and reflects credit upon the energy, pn,k
and perseverance OF its proprietor, DR..
Edward LNcan. and is a building that
would be called fine on an Atlantic ocean
beach.
The hotel has $50 roopIs, 24l Of which
are available for guests. 1t Is heated
BY steam. lighted by gas, and lie modern
in every respect. Being built in the
shape OF letter f fronting the ocean
beach, it affords all outside rooms from
any Of which the breakars can be OBJ.
.erved. All around the inside OF this
letter F formation, three stories high,
are ten foot verandahs, II walk around AL
Of which is nearly half q mile.
The hotel is furnished with water and
gas bv private systems that also supply
those who wish in the town. Taken all
in all the Moclips Beach hotel wonld be
credi, to any seaside resort on either
the Pacific or Atlantic coast.

A FAN" DEFINED.

How is this for the definition OF a
'ian?" The sketch is drawn by clever
Joe Cummings, Of the Baltimore News.
1t follows:
can animal that is almost human in
some respects. Runs wild from April
to September, when species flock to-
gether in punches between the hours CT
3 and y. m. Gees out Of business in
the winter season. The chief attribute
o "fan' is deA'erlty in welding the
hammer, lungs like rhinoceros and a
remarkably.keen eyesight, which en-.
ables him to see play better than tie
umpire, whose n5se is dangling over
the contestants. The fan" subsis,s
chiefly on peanuts and pop. Ever and
anon he chews tobacco and smokes a
stoge.'

VALUATION OF RAILROADS.

Messr-. +. +. >und'elE' .. . Cane
strop T. f.. Ca>hmau, ;. y. Nelson O'e
n So,anv members oi the senate COM
mi,tee Of tie state Il Minnesota, witt
the aid OF an able and conscientious Al.
,ornev, Mr.. James Manahan, have pre-
nared q NEST interesting report on the
value of the railroads doing business IN
Minnesota. They find that the capital
stock and bonded debt Of the Chicago,
Great Western is 81 IS t6S pei mile while
in actua) value it is about s2S 900 pei
mile. The Wisconsin. Minnesota 4 Pa
cific railway is stocked and bonded at
$4S,134 per mile, vhie it can be repro
duced in its present condition for $4,000
per mile.
The committee finds that the capital.
x,tion OF the railroads in that state. in
81 uding stock and bends, is about $50,
600 per mile taking all Of the railroads
together, and that the actual value OF
the rail roads is about $27, 900 per mile.
From this it appears that the railroads
are EXPECTING to collect interest and div
idepds on almost twice the value Of the
roaGs measured by the cost OF reproduC-
ing them Is it not high time for an
official valuation Of the railroads OF the
United States so that the people may
know to what extent they are compelled
t, nav extensive and tionate rates.
Who can oppose law Tor the ascertain.
ing Of the value Of the railroads? No
one unless he l. more interested in the
railroads than in the public in genera.
Their Representative in the United Sta'es
senate, in the ihouse oil representatives
and in the state legislature should make
it his business to urge both state and
federal legislation which will obtain Tor
the public information concerning the
value OF the railroads.

WlSHkAH DAMS BREAK.
Break of Dams Closes Logging Camps
and puts MANY Men Idle.

The dam in the upper Wishkah river
eav- way last Sunday. which necessitated
the closing down Of TIE logging camp OF
The Aberdeen Lumber & Single Co..
whose works depended upon the splash
from the dam to float their logs to tide
water.
The camp employed about so men.
who were paid off and discharged, the
company being unable TO put in logs
until those already in the pond had been
splashpd out. 1t will require six weeks
or two months TO repair the dam.
LArEh-On Monday night the dam be.
low gave way, and the. chances are that
the misfortune Of the Wshkah Boom
Co., to whom the dams belonged, will
tend to solve the log price problem, fer a
time at least.
Instead OF affecting 90 men, the loss OF
both dams will stop production in the
following camps, employing between 400
and 500 men:
In addition to the Aberdeen Lumber
& Single Co. camp, the camps OF the
Larkin Logging Co., a F. Coats upper
camp, 0. X. Logging Co., Murray 4
Blackwell, the Boeing l. McCrimmon
Co., and W. n. Tackett, will be com.
PEELED to close: down until the dams are
repaired, which practically means until
the fall rains set IN.

The Pennsylvania road is about to &c
into forest raising on an extensive scale.
Twenty thousand acres on the slope OF
the Allegheny mountains Will be devoted
to the raising Of railroad ties and after
the end Of forty years the company es.
poets to be able to harvest four million
ties annually. The increasing scarcity
of tie timber and the failures in the effort
to secure practical steel tie have re-
suited in this decision OF the company.
Long before the end Of the forty years it
is probable that ether roads will have
started forests for like purpose.

The Lawrence Journal makes
this protest against the viewing
of a corpse by the curious pub
lie at a funeral: Why do not min
listers put stop to opening the
casket and letting people view
the remains? 1t is custom that
has its excuse only in morbid
ness. No corpse looks like the
party did in life. Further, no one
really cares to see corpse. A
body is viewed either from
curiosity or personal interest.
The personal interest is in the
family. The curiosity is to see
how naturalsthe corpse looks.
1t is custom that cannot be
defended. Every one ought to be
satisfied to see a man for the
last time in life. When he is
dead he is entitled to decent
burial, but nothing is gained by
putting him on exhibition for
curios gaze of those who do not
care anything about him.

One on the Old Man.

While the Society editor of the
Marquette Tribune was on her
vacation the adj man has to do
her work. Thus the following:
Miss Jennie Jones and Bob
Henry were married at the Jones
mansion last night. The bride
is the daughter of our Constable
Jones, who has made a good Off
Ger and will undoubtedly be re-
elected next spring. He offers a
fine horse for sale in another col
umn. The groom runs a grocery
store on Main street and is a
good patron of our ad columns
and has got new line of bargains
this week. All summer he has
paid 2 cents more for butter than
any other store in town The
happy couple left on the 10
O'Clock train for Milwaukee to
visit the brides uncle who is re-
ported to have lots of money and
Bright's disease. Bob certainly
has an eye for business.

The Cost of Goods.

This is the true human docu-
ment, offered for what it may be
worth:
I've been buying some lately
of the mail-order houses and saw
ing money by doing it, said the
farmer: but by Jolly. don't
know. I was in IS grocery
today and heard him talking with
the new man that's rented a
piece of -; said he'd like to
carry him, but that he really
couldn't do it.
After the man went out, says
1, Henry, what's the matter
with that man you won't carry
him? and he says, nothing that I
know of; but I just can't do it.
The mail order houses and the
fellows that come through taking
orders till they get enough to fill
car, make US sell so close and
take so much cash trade that /
just can't put another account on
my books to carry over until
grapes are sold.'
We'll, sir, twenty years ago
L guess, L wouldn't have been
here, if Henry hadn't carried me
whole year. i was meeting
payments on this piece of land,
and the crops failed. No sir, I
guess I wouldn't have been here,
if Henry hadn't carried me. And
I was just thinking to myself,
maybe that renter'n have to
throw up the sponge, same's I'd
had to do. When I painted my
buildings, saved thirteen dollars
buying of mil order house, and
it seemed like throwing money
away not to do it. But, by Jolly,
I don't know"
Many others don't know, and
are thinking about it-as we find
from evidence The price mark
doesn't always tell the cost OF
the goods. Certain Southern
communities may buy cotton
quite cheaply = because it was
spun by the stunting toll of then
children. Wool would be a bet
ter bargain for them. The price
mark does not always tell the
whole story Saturday Evening

The ministers of Coffeyville
have gone together. formed a
union and among the things
agreed upon is that none of
them hereafter will preach the
funeral of any one except mem
bers of their own church for less

the part of the Coffeyville minis
tiers is a little out of the ordinary
