Royal Chickens of Japan.

"The most beautiful and extraordi-
nary chickens in the world are those
bred by the royal family of Japan,
the privilege of raising them not being
accorded to any of the nikado's sub
1ects," said Mr. L. J. De Courcey Of
Yokohama These chickens are cele-
brated for the wonderful growth Of
their tailfeathers, a full grown roost-
er's tail often reaching a length of
twenty feet The tail is of lovely
deep blue shade, while the body is
buff, and about the neck is a white
ring. A pair of these chickens has
been known to sell to wealthy Eng
lishman for $1,000 on condition that
he would take them out of the coun-
try.
81 believe that ere long the species
will entirely disappear, as heard be-
fore leaving Japan that it was the in
tention of his majesty to cease their
breeding ."-Baltimore American.

Reformino the Head Hunters,

A curious development is in steady
progress in the Solomon islands, the
group in the south Pacific which lies
to the west of New Guinea, whose
people have earned such unenviable
notoriety as head hunters. The young
men Of the tribes in these fertile and
beautiful islands are abandoning the
historic pursuit which has made them
dreaded for centuries in the south
seas and are taking to the copra in
dustry. Copra. which is the dried in
terror of the cocoanut. is valued COM
mercially for the oil which can be
pressed from it. and some of the young
Solomon islanders are accommodating
considerab bic wealth by extracting it.
though the older generation, to whom
head hunting is still the only profess
sion for gentleman. are said to look
down upon them as being ''fn trade"

Tiger, Wash, Sept. %, 1908.
Every indication is very forcibly
pointing to the act that Tiger is
really the center Of the earth.
Railroads are being located here,
automobiles are on the streets,
great steamboats, are plying the
beautiful Pend Oreille river, which
howeth into the sea.
Several large real estate deals
that have recently been contracted
are reported from lone.
r. c. Hyde and family are now
staying at Tiger, preparatory to
taking the first boat up the river.
Mr.. Hyde sold his holdings to Mrs.
c. F. OImstead, west Of Tiger, and
Mr.. Hyde and family will spend
the winter in California.
Mrs. Lena j. Roberts arrived
here last sunday from Spokane,
and will teach the Tiger school the
coming year at a salary of $50 per
month. Our people have had some
trouble in securing teacher.

Creditors Holding the Sack.

Norman Jackson, who has been wood
hitting contractor in this vicinity fol-
s.veral wears, has shook the dust Of
Newport from his feet and departed fol-
sreener fields Mr. Jackson neglected
f. settle few accounts that he had
contracted in this vicinity while operat.
mo az contractor. The accounts will
probably total about $4,000, or perhaps
more as soon as all reports are received
Mr.. Jackson has been operating near
Newport, and has been doing fairly
we'll at the business. Most of his credi-
tors assert that he had been doing very
vel--at their expense. The recent for
eft fires hurt Mr.. Jackson, or his credi-
tors, to considerable extent, 30 Mr..
Jackson decided he had better remove to
a lower altitude, the air being little too
rare Tor him along the Pend Oreille.
Mr. Jackson appeared to like Tweedie
q little better than he did Newport, or
tlst. the Newport merchants were little
too wise for him, as his fine work was
done at the former place. Reports from
Tweedie state that Mr.. Jackson neg
Iccted to settle a small merchandise ac-
count at that place amounting to about
1886 Other mer chants in that locality,
~ well as in Newport, have claim
against the departed citizen that will
aggregate fully $4,000
Duling the past wood cutting season
Mr. jackson surreptitiously gathered
about rs cords Of wood belonging to H.
W. Lund, of this city. He sold the wood
and took the proceeds and used them
ior his own purposes. Mr.. Lund discoy-
cred the trick and threatened to 'ose-
ute Mr.. Jackson That gentleman did
not desire to 60 oyer the road, so had
his wife plead with Mr.. Lund for mercy.
Her tears had their effect on Mr. Lund,
and he allowed the matter to drop after
Mr.. Jackson had returned about II
cords OF wood.
y report HAS DccIl ItCtIVcu LIldG l..
Jackson had been captured at Spirit
Lake, and that he was in Jail at that
point, but the report was unfounded.
Jackson has gone further than that.
His intimate friends think that he has
returned to Canada-a good place for
him.
Jackson's downfall appears to have
been consummated by his expensive
personal habits, and the fact that his
family was extremely extravagant.
They were personally very popular with
the Younger set, but kept up pace that
their income did not warrant.
jackson sold some machinery to par
ties during the summer and they in
turn sold the stuff to third party. The
property was mortgaged and the losing
parties are now threatening to get after
the fugitive on a criminal charge.

Caught in the Act.

Last Saturday night a man
who acted in rather suspicious
manner, was noticed by one OF
our citizens standing near the
corner of the Benton County
Bank. He seemed especially
{ desirous of avoiding observa-
ton, and stood for some time
peering cautiously around the
! corner down Madison street to-
wards the river. It was near
midnight and the streets were
nearly deserted. Finally the
fellow, in steathly manner,
proceeded down the walk to-
ward the postofficc, and turned
into the alley. The observer,
who had been watching these
maneuvers from the shadows OF
the Occidental, across the way,
now followed into the alley and
saw his man slip quietly into
the recess which opens into the
rear of the postoffice. He fol-
lowed quickly and in a moment
was face to face with the intru-
der. The latter, with NUT
tered oath, drew something from
his pocket that glittered wicked
ly in the rays from the electric
light, there was a gurgling
sound, and-a moment later the
two walked out of the alley to-
gether, wiping their mouths.
"Gee! that was good stuff, y re-
marked the one who had done
the pursuing, "Where'd ye get
it?"
