.RETuRNT0 THEIR FIRST LOVE

A0tec Years SOJOOVu a. Ooss"9"0"s
WASH, Mr. and Mrs. c. C.l arson Return
to Bowbeas and Think They Have Made
No Mistake ia Doing So.
c.: C. Larson and wife, who were
among the earliest settlers in the Bow
bells country, arrived here last Saturday
from Bellingham, WASH, where they
had spent little better than a year
last past, and where Mr.. l.. conducted
q livery business during their stay in
the coast town. Their special object
in leaving here was with the hope that
such change would be beneficial to the
health of Mrs. Larson, who of late
wears had been great sufferer from
rheumatism, but it did not take them
long to discover their mistake, as it
soon became very evident that the
heavy, damp atmosphere of the coast
was anything but panacea for rheu-
matism or like affections. They were
accompanied out and back by their son
George, whom our people knew to
have been badly crippled with infiam-
matory rheumatism, and in his case as
in that Of Mrs. Larson the climate
proved to be other than what they had
fondly hoped for. Mr.. Larson had the
misfortune to have been kicked by q
horse and had three ribs broken besides
sustaining other painful injuries about
three weeks ago, which delayed them
in starting for Bowbells, and for some
days after receiving the injuries he is
said to have been in critical condition.
Mi. Larson says he was in the coun-
try hardly long enough to form any
thing approximating 9 correct idea OF
the desirabilty Of residence there, as
while he was in Bellingham his time
was continually occupied and he had
little or no time for inquiries Or taking
observations. He says, however, that
the result Of the late panic is as keenly
felt there today as it was six months
ago. Business in all branches is at
standstill, and there are in BellinghaM
and adjacent counties at least go, ,OOl
men out of employment, the lumber
mills being closed down for the most
part and the salmon canning and & fruit ! y
canning business alike being almost at
q standstill. Times are nsequentlyy
