Fixed Bayonets In London.

The privilege Of marching through
London with fixed bayonets is enjoy
ed by but very few regiments, such
as the Royal fusileers. who trace their
origin to Crom wells trained bands,
which in later years produced so ia
nous a captain as John Glpin. After
the Royal fusileers, or perhaps even
before them in point Of regimental
seniority, come the East Kent "Buffs,' -
now the third Of the line. who claim
a similar city ancestry while the Royal
marines for some reason or other also
enjoy the same fixed bayonet rights
in the city. A battalion Of the grena-
der guards was once impressed to
serve as marines. and hence they
share the privilege Of the men who
are soldiers and sailors too" This

A Stevens County Mine

Orient's big gold producer has
made another sensational disclo-
sure. In the first level below the
main tunnel floor, or the fifth level
from the surface, the most impor-
tant strike in the First Thought
mine has recently been made. After
drifting about so feet south from
the main shaft ore running as high
as $500 to the ton in gold was en-
countered a couple of weeks ago,
according to reliable information,
and now at this point stope has
been opened up that shows a face
at least go feet wide of gold ore
that averages over 800 to the ton.
What makes this strike OF extra
Importance to the camp is that it
proves that at depth the ore is as
rich. if not richer. and the deposits
are more compact than nearer the
surface.
For the past four years the First
Thought has been a steady pro-
Queer, and all the ore shipped has
been broken from Slopes above the
tunnel level: No authoritative
statement has yet been made pub
lie as to the amount of ore and it's
value shipped to the smelters the
past year; but it is believed, with
out exaggeration. the tonnage at
least will foot up to $4,000 of ore
averaging $50 in gold to the ton,
making a total output for the year
of $6OO,OOO.-Kettle River Journal.

We'll against Ewing and Walker,
the latter two the city's members,
decided to maintain the present
minimum of 81 so a month, except in
the case of three-room houses, which
are reduced to $1.25 month.
Lawn sprinkling tolls were in
creased from $3.50 to 81 q month.
This arrangement is regarded
here as a signal victory for the
water company, There are ex-
tremely few three-room houses in
the city Messrs. Ewing and
Walker demanded an examination
of the company's books Mr.. Whit
aker. however, who is state senator
elect, stated that he would have to

heller said that he was also con-

him away for some time. The
matter finally resolved itself into a
simple vote on the proposition.
Messrs. Well and Ewing engaged
in a wordy war, which threatened
for time to break up the meeting
entirely.

Seattle, Jan. 4.-Periods of de-
preston always follow expositions,
is what the average man, who
knows nothing of it, will tell you.
As a matter of fact. Omaha enjoyed
the greatest boom in it's history
after its exposition, and has been
growing ever since. Portland and
the state of Oregon generally forged
ahead with wonderful rapidity
after the Lewis 4 Clark fair, and
are in better business condition
today than ever before in their his
tory. 1t is the prediction Of far
seeing and conservative men, who
have given the matter thought and
study, that the state of Washing
ton will fairly sizzle with business
activity after the A.-i.-P. exposi-
ton. Every section in the state
will receive substantial benefits;
Eastern as we'll as Western Wash

more rapidly with new people the
year following the exposition than
in any previous year since state
hood. The local exposition is 60
ing to be great success; there is
no doubt of that. Thousands Of
people are coming here from the
east. James A. Wood. director Of
exploitation, has received upwards
OF fifty thousand inquiries from
fasteners who want for lnforma-
ton concerning the Puget Sound
country. as we'll as Northwest coun-
try. Thousands of these people
announce that they are coming
here not only to attend the exposi-
ton. but to investigate for them
selves the wonderful tales they
have been told OF the greatness of
the Northwest country. The To-
cal exposition is the chance OF a
lifetime for the people of the state
of the state of Washington" says
Director Wood. Fortunately they
seem to realize the fact and are
doing everything to their power to
make the fair a success"

0ressy Tailored Effect.

The dressy effect Of many Of the new
coat and skirt suits depends upon the
trimming used. The foundations Of
most of the favored models are usually
simple, but an elaborate effect Is gained
by heavy braid and ornaments. This
idea Is illustrated in the smart suit
shown in the sketch. Although abso-
lutely simple In design, the heavy braid
ornaments give it quite an elaborate
