weeks, and that there was no doubt
of the fair grounds extension being
completed in plenty of time. If the
material does arrive at that time
there will be over six weeks for the
company to complete the line, and
the work can easily be done in less
than month.

No Chance for Joint Debate.

Congressman w. l.. Jones has ar
rived at his home at North Yakima
and expresses himself as confident of
receiving a majority OF the Repub-
lican votes for United States senator
at the September primaries. He ex-
presses the Wish that the election was
tomorrow, and, after filling a number
of engagements, win stump the state.
If Senator Ankeny would travel with
him, speaking from the same plat
forms, it would give the voters a
splendid opportunity to Judge of the
merits of the two candidates, but the
campaign managers of the senator,
even if he was willing, would prob
ably veto any such proceedings; the
contract of the ability of the two men
would be almost ludicrous. The
Jones sentiment seems to be spread
ing everywhere throughout the
state, and, barring a complete revul-
sion of the present feeling of the
voters, which is not probable, he
should win the contest by at least
two to one.-Puyallup Republican.

Capt. E. E. Grape of the Norbotten

were residents of Upper Kalix. Their
boat struck rock and was upset. BY
great exertions they put the boat on

wards Capt. Grape died of apoplexy.
BY using a mast the survivors kept
the boat from tipping during one day

Mallner next struck a shallow place
where he succeeded in keeping the
boat for 30 hours during storm. The
wind finally abated somewhat, and,
using two pieces of boards as oars he
rowed to Kals island, where some
fishermen noticed him and conveyed
him and the bodies of his dead com.
rades to Batskarnas. BY this time
Mallner was SO exhausted that he was
scarcely able to give a coherent &C.
count OF his awful experiences.

To Make 4 Soap Shaker:

A satisfactory and decidedly conven.
lent soap shaker can be made out of
an ordinary baking powder can. Drive
a number Of holes in the top Of the
can with nail and throw into the can
all scraps OF soap which are too small
for use and put the top on again..
When washing the dishes, put the
can into the dishpan and let the hot
water run into it. Then shake few
times and fine soapsuds will be the
result. When not in use, stand the
can on a saucer. as some of the water
is likely to remain in the can.
