Old Timers Are V
 Reminded of Days of '98
When First Boat of Season Arrives at Telegraph Creek With 40 Tons of Mining Machinery.
By DOREEN DODD

TELEGRAPH CREEK, June 2. The town of Telegraph Creek, on the Stikine River. was awak- ened into activity, the greatest since the old rush days of '9S, by the arrival of the Hazel B Nos. 34 of the Harrington Transportation Company, with scow on which was 40 tons of mining machinery, in cluding two tractors, the first in the Cassiar.
 This is the first trip of the season and opening of navigation. and when these boats rounded Bucks Bar on the Stikine, the Old Timers said that it was the longest boat that had ever piled the river.
 There were 3S passengers on board, among them were A. St.Clair Brindle and E. M. Brindle, we'll known mining men: Amos Godfrey and his partner, A. Campbell, who are interested in placer claims on McDames Creek; and D. A. Mcleod on a reconnoitering trip with par ticlar reference to the water powers of the country.
 Major Ackland and Corporal Bryce of the N.R.W.P., whose head quarters are at Prince Rupert, were also passengers. They are here on trip of inspection and it is a matter of regret among the many friends they made here that they cannot be here longer a fact which is per- haps tribute to the we'll kept law and order of this part of the district. F. A. Craig and Harvey M. Ross with a crew of men, who will put in a season with a Keystone drill on Dease Creek; they represent Seattle interests. They are working in CO., operation with HIS. Kuehl and Capt. Pendleton from here to the Lake in order to get the machinery in. Capt. Pendleton and MT. Kuehl have crew of their own going into Me Danes to work the Pendleton Placer dlaim. They are all very optimistic and confidently expect to have a Fourth of July celebration at the Lake.
 Great credit is due to the Bar rigton Transportation Company, and especially to Capt. S. c. Barring ton, for the way in which the Com pany have handled a difficult propo- sition, as it is no childs play to buck the Stikine when she is running full of mud.
 Telegraph Creek has spent a very quiet winter with not a great deal 4f activity in the fur line outside of a few beaver. There has been lots of snow which will give the miners in the interior plenty of water to work the claims and will be a factor of success to the outfits now going in.
 It is also expected that there will be a few hundred tons more of mining machinery in before the summer Is over. With this in view, the Provincial government, through the Mines Department, has granted sum of money for the improvement of the Dease Lake road which will give employment to the local men for the summer. Altogether the signs seem to indicate very pros- porous year.

SOLD ON PROMISES

THE political analysts are busy in
= terpreting the results Of the spec
ial congressional election in the fifth
district. The democrats acclaim the
result as reputation of the re-
publican party's record and policies.
To this paper the result means moth
ing but that most Of the voters who
went to the polls preferred Hill to
Meyers. Normally the district is no
more republican that democratic.
True, j. Stanley Webster, republican,
carried it twice. So did Clarence
Dill, democrat.
In this election the office didn't 60
to the democrats; it was auctioned
off to the highest bidder in promises
impossible Of fulfillment. It's no new
departure. In fact, it's quite the po-
litical fashion. The same thing hap
pened in Minnesota, in Iowa-yes,
and over in Oregon, where lot of
folk are wanting to recall the gov
ernor of their choice because he is not
delivering the goods on some of his
impossible promises.

sufficiently interested to contribute q
dollar, the proposition might as well
be dropped and Eugene Enloe told to
look elsewhere for market for his
gas.
The plan back of which the city
council and the Commercial club are
cooperating is to give the public the
full benefit of cheap fuel thru mu-
nicipally owned and operated distrib-
ting system, rather than to hand to
some individual or corporation val
liable public utility. If the public,
however, is not sufficiently interest
ed in proposition to secure natural
gas practically at cost, the only other
possible course is to find some cor
poration that is willing to take the
gas and sell it to the public at pro-
fit.
The call for dollars has met with
very slow response. The fund should
be completed by Saturday night. Send
your dollar to Secretary Crawford.

DUKE OPTIMISTIC
State Bank Supervisor Says Business
is Good in Washington

State Bank supervisor Says Dusihess
is Good in Washington
Pessimism on the part Of anybody
in this state is based on ignorance,
". P. Duke, supervisor of banks de-
clares. He predicts that on Jan. l
this state will show the best balance
offered by business men, manufac-
turers, farmers and tradesmen in any
part of the country.
Tho conditions are not satisfactory
for the wheat farmers, Supervisor
Duke declares that the "12-months"
farmers are in prosperous condi-
ton. In support of this statement
he shows that bankers report that d.
versified farming has permitted the
land owners who have followed that
practice to pay up their indebtedness
and accumulate comfortable balances.
While this is not true in all cases, the
condition is so general that Mr.. Duke
asserts the 12-months farmer has no
serious cause for complaint.
"Of course the lumber trade is en-
joying superlative prosperity" COM
ments Mr.. Duke, "but the states pros
perity does not end there or in the
sections directly affected by the lum-
Der industry The fishing season has
been good; apples are commanding
better price, the small fruits did
not do as well as we hoped but con-
ditions improved and the merchants
generally report very profitable
year. There is no doubt but that the
12-months farmer will be able to show
that he has provided himself and
family with a good living and has
made good interest on his investment.
Conditions are bound to improve for
the wheat grower, too"

WHERE'S YOUR DOLLAR?

IF natural gas is made available for
i use in Kennewick its benefits will
not be limited to a few individuals.
but to the community in general.
For that reason the cost of ascer-
tanning the possibility of piping it
here should be borne by the many
rather than the few.
The survey being made by En-
igineer C. r. Collins was authorized
by the city council but there is no
public money available to pay the
bill. For that reason the CONNER
cial club has undertaken to raise the
money and is asking for contribu-
tions Of one dollar from all citizens
who are interested.
Before we can get the gas we must
know5how much it is going to cost
and what is the probable consump-
ton. Unless these facts are ascer-
tain the piping proposition fails.
These facts cannot be ascertained
without the expenditure of some mon
ey. If the average householder is not
