EXPERIENCE WITH
4 COUGAR

Spokane, June 3.-Grant Turn
bull, a stage driver, operating be-
tween Newport and Elk, Wash, north
of Spokane, had an experience with a
full-grown cougar which he will not
forget for some time. While driving
along the narrow mountain road near
Rogers pass his horses became fright
ened and bottled. The driver managed
by sheer fortune to keep the wheels
of the coach in the ruts and after
the horses had expended their energy
he made an investigation. Perched
in the rear Of the coach was a fe-
rocious cougar. eBfore the animal
could spring upon him, Turnbull used
the butt of his heavy whip, but the
big cat leaped over his head and
disappeared in the timber before he
could inflict the death blow. Settlers
in the northern part of Spokane coun-
ty report cougars numerous, but this
is the first instance of a stage driver
having one as a passenger. Turnbull
claims a new record for driving a
coach from the point where he dis
covered the cougar to Newport There
is a bounty on the head of a cougar
in the state of Washington Tom B.
Hopper, a noted bear slayer, who has
killed hundreds of cougars and wild
cats in this part of the west during
the last 25 years, is organizing
party to make hunt there with
trained dogs.

NEW HISTORY OF
STATE ISSUED
PROFESSOR EDMOND s. MEANY
Is AUTHOR OF VOLUME DEAL
ING WITH EARLY DOINGS IN
WASHINGTON.

volume that will be widely
bought and read with avidity is Ed
mond S. Meany's History of the
State of Washington, just from the
nress of the Macmillan company,
New York. Mr.. Meany is Widely
known through the northwest, DOM
from his prominent connection with
the state university and from his
writings, especially on the INDIANS
and pioneers of the west.
The book contains 400 pages, IS
substantially bound and well print
ed and illustrated.
The title of some of the chapters
are: prehistoric Conditions; Lure
of the Pacific; Alexander Macken-
zie:" Lewis and Clark; Quest of
Furs and Trails; "Joint Occupancy !;
soThe Missionary Epoch; "Fifty-Four
Forty or Fight; Indian Treaties :;
.eThe Blockhouse Era; Crushing
the Indian Revolt; 1.-THE Pioneer
Home and Village; The Turbulent
Decade; "Organizing the State;
Extravaganza Checked; Social
Improvement There are 81 chap
tiers and four appendices.
The subject matter has every in1i-
cation of having been given close
study-that could be expected of Pro-
fessor Meany 1t is fair and calm.
Following is one of the paragraphs
from THE Missionary Epoch, in
which is discussed the various church
men who pioneered the state, and
about whom so many legends are
abroad that one scarcely knows who
should be given the great honors:
Whitman did not save Oregon. No
one man could have done that. Like
all other great events in history, the
acquisition of Oregon was an evolu-
ton from many smaller events and
from the work of many men. But in
his way and in his time DR.. Whitman
did a mans full share. Nor it is me-
cessary for the Whitman partizans to
cling to that one extreme claim. In
spite of the ridicule of myths ami
legends justly hurled upon their in
sistent presumption, Marcus Whitman
is a hero. He fought faithfully and
well. He bravely died at his post for
the cause he loved
This paragraph reflects the treat
ment of the various mooted questions
of northwestern history throughout
the book. It's pages will undoubtedly
clear away good many cobwebs and
will, it is hoped, have the effect of
tempering some of the unreasonable
assertions often made by the too zeal
out friends of others than Marcus
Whitman. There is honor enough for
all of them-Whitman Jason Lee and
the other sturdy preachers who in
vaded this state and Oregon ana who
helped to open the way to American
occupancy and modern civilization.
Professor Meany did not make the
mistake that some writer's have made
and omit the human interest" stories
of early days. He has injected a
number of these and they throw light
on conditions and personalities that
could not be presented otherwise.
The volume should be in every
Washington home. Getting acquaint-
ed with ones own state is among the
first essentials 1t makes better cit
liens.

Mr.. Thomas Lawson of Boston
seems to be experiencing some diff
Guilty in keeping in the limelight just
at present. A year or two ago, when
he was making such fierce literary
onslaughts on the trusts, the octopi
and the system" that it was neces-
sary for the new dictionary makers
to add several pages of new words,
| his name was on every tongue. His
retirement from the literary field
was followed by a savage attack on
| the "gelatin-spined shrimps" and
saffron blooded apes" who had fail
| ed to take Tommy's "hunch" and
turn over to him their life insurance
policies and other collateral. The
pastime of going after the trusts and
people alike becoming wearisone
Mr.. Lawson promoted Yukon Gold
and in the promotion incidentally
demonstrated that, while the spines
of the shrimps were little weak,
their pocketbooks were in easy reach.
Yukon Gold vanished from the fl
nancial horizon several months ago,
and the verbose Bostonian failed to
note another opening to the public
ear until Secretary Wilson's March
crop report appeared. Not realizing
that it was as unreliable as Yukon
| Gold, Lawson grabbed his spear,
mounted his Rosinnate, and began
charging the windmills, which, in this
case, proved to the mythical Patten
wheat corner May wheat was then
selling around $3.50 per bushel, and,
while exhorting the people to take
up arms. If necessary, and down the
tyrants, who were putting up the
price of bread, Lawson is reported to
have 'sold short" in generous guam
titles, with the avowed intention of
dragging down to financial ruin the
Patten crowd.
! Unfortunately for Mr.. Lawson and
also for Patten, either the Lawson
nerve or the Lawson money gave out
when wheat approached $3.50 pc,
bushel With the much despised
Wall street crowd and the Pittsburg
steel kings still putting up margins,
! Lawson took his losses and retired
! to ponder over the wOrthlessness of
Secretary Wilson's report. and the
nerve of the Chicago wheat men who
knew that wheat was scarce.
Perhaps the most reprehensible bid
for public notice which Mr.. Lawson
has yet made was a fawning, slobber-
ing tribute to the late H. Fl. Rogers,
Ia man whom Lawson had previously
painted as a fiend incarnate. No
| public man in the United States ever
received such wealth of vitupera-

We urge upon our government

FREE FROM ice PACK.
The Monaghan Makes Her Escape
From Imprisonment.

st. Johns, N. F., May 21.-The Allan
line steamer Monaghan early today
freed herself from the ice pack off the
entrance to st. Johns harbor in which
she had been imprisoned for two days.
The Monaghan, after releasing her.
self from the ice pack, did not make
any attempt to enter st. Johns harbor,
ice conditions making such a course
apparently impracticable. The steam
er worked off shore and at a. m.
the heavy drift ice. 1t was believed
on shore that the steamer was pro-
ceeding toward Bay Neulls, Is miles
south of ST. Johns, where there was
Z The heavy eastsrly swell which set
in last night, brought up the ice pack
and enabled the Monaghan to shake
herself free. All night there was con-
slant commotion in the great field, the
big bergs twisting and turning, while
the pressure on the steamer was great
er than ever before.
Dawn revealed open water within a
few miles of the steamer. A little later
a lead opened out through which the
Monaghan steamed to comparative safe
waters. For the first hour or two it
was slow work as the ice was.still heavy
and continually driving in on the steam
er. On getting further off shore the
foes opened out more and at a. M
with fairly clear water. the Monaghan
swung around and headed down the
coast and around Cape Spear in the
direction of Bay Bulls. 1t was thought
at first the Monaghan might try to
run into Petty harbor, five miles SOUTH
but her captain decided to keep on to
the more sheltered harbor of Bay Bulls,
where it is expected the steamer will
remain until the mouth of st. Johns
karbor is cleared of ice.
The weather today continued favor
able, the wind holding light north with
a cloudy sky.
In shipping circles the release of the
Monaghan is looked upon as particu-
lar1y fortunate as the conditions last
night were threatening and an easterly
gale would have seriously injured the
vessel. 81

President Osmena and Assem- blynan

JAPANESE IN U. S.
Less Than 10000 of the NIikado's
Subjects in This Country.

Toxic, May 21.-According to sta
tistics recently compiled there were
in December, 1906, $1,000 japanese
subjects in the United States and out
of that total no less than SO per cent
were in California and its immediate
neighboring states. In California
itself. so per cent of the total were
found. and of these &c per cent We're
engaged in labor on railways and in
mines, the remaining "a per cent be-
ing occupied with agriculture.
1t is in the last named enterprise
alone that anything like signal sue
cess has been attained. There are
$4,000 japanese armers-spea king
roughly-in the state of California,
and they own an aggregate area OF
1900 acres, which land is devoted
mainly to the cultivation of fruit and
vegetables.
Many of the settlers have been liv-
ing there for some ten to thirty
years. They speak English ex-
cellently and may be said to be
virtually domiciled.
An important feature is their con-
tribution to trade with Japan, but
more remarkable are the sums re-
mitted by them to the home country.
In 1904. they sent to Japan $3.50. 900
in 1905, nearly $5,0O0,000 and in
1906. $5,633,0O0.

NEW THEORY SPREADS
RAPIDLY OVER COUNTRY
Woman Gives Reasons For Her
Abiding Faith in Cooper.

L. T. Cooper's theory concerning
the human stomach, is being given
more respect and comment every day.
Cooper claims that 70 per cent of
all Ill health is due to stomach trou-
BILE. When interviewed about his
theory recently, he said: Stomach
trouble is the great curse of the goth
century so far as the civilized races
are concerned. Practically all of the
chronic i'll health of this generation
is caused by abnormal stomachic con-
ditionS In earlier days, when the hui
man race was closer to nature, and
men and women worked all day out
of doors, digging their frugal existence
from the soil, the tired, droopy, half.
sick people that are now so common,
did not exist.
ITO be sure, there was sickness in
those days, but it was of a virulent
character, and only temporary. There
all the time with which so many are
afflicted nowadays.
81 know positively that every bit
of this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stom-
ach in civilized people today is de-
generate. 1t lacks tone and strength.
This weakness has gradually come
through a sedentary existence. I fur

Chicago, May 21.-That the place of
the "old school, doctor who at once
was physician, adviser, friend, and con-
lessor to his patients has been taken
by the trained nurse in the modernized
profession of medicine was the conten-
ton made by DR.. William A Evans,
health commissioner of Chicago in an
address before the graduating class of
nurses in the Sherman hospital at Ell

of the old time DOCTOR" said DR.. Evans.
HE has lest sympathetic element
