As the boat swings round into place, after getting a bow iine out, there is a heavy strain upon it.

The members of the fire department will give a moonlight excursion Tuesday night, June 5th. At that time the moon will be full, and the occasion will, no doubt, be a delightful one.

An exchange says that a horse has forty teeth, while a mare has but thirty six. Oxen and Bheep have but thirty two, hogs forty-four, dogs thirty-two and mankind thirty -two teeth. The al ligator, shark, mowing machine, hay rake, buzz saw and comb have a few more, but are not included in the offi cial count, and the hen has a peck. Here is the small end of an item from the Medford Mail : "Jerry Heckathorn, who was expected home last week, had the misfortune to cut off one of his little toes. The lady with whom he was boarding sewed it on again, but it did not suit him, and he took an ax and laid the edge on the crippled toe and re severed it. Therefore lie had to wait until his toe was well in order to ride home on his bicycle." Misses Ina and Blanche Forrest of Olympia rode their bicycles down the Westsido bicycle path near Olympia last Thursday, says the Olympian. At the steepest point in the path a large log had just been sawed in two, and a part removed; just enough to let the rider pass through with a close shave. Just before reaching this point, the rear sprocket of Miss Ina's wheel broke, and while she was whirling down grade like lightning, she tried to "reverse," hut the wheel shot downward and uguinBt the log, which is several feet high. She was thrown entirely over this, and several yards into the brush and knocked unconscious. Miss Blanche who was just behind, and coming at the same hoadlong speed, lost her presence of mind and her hold on her handle bars. Her wheel struck the log with such force that it jumped entirely over it and landed with her on the other side. They wero both badly bruised, but not seriously injured. We sell Hoe Cake soap. Pease A Mays. a3,2m HE WENT OVER THE BLUFF. A POISON STRIP. Catbcart's norwe Kln- With Cntli cart'ii ltugcy- Last night about f :30 a horse belong ing to Mr. Cathcart took a little spin on his own account, that will not soon be rivaled. The horse, hitched to a light buggy, was standing in front of Mr. Cathcart'e house, when a man rode up on horse back, and dismounting hurriedly, fright ened the Cathcart horse and he imme diately lit out down Jefferson Btreet. Now Jefferson street is a nice on? as far as it goes, but there are places where it doesn't go, one of these being a portion of the city lying between Fourth and Sixtli streetB. The reason it doesn't go there is that there is a big basaltic bluff sixty or seventy feet high. The horse, not having a plat of the city to examine, evidently did not know this, for he ran straight down the street, keeping the middle of the road and plunged over the bluif. Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Stephens, near whose house the matter occurred, heard the crash, but did not know whether it was a flying machine, the Populist party, or a flight of The Chuonici.k editor's fancy that had come sailing over the hill. Mr. Stephens went out to see what he could pee, and a voice from the top of (lit bluff hailed him witli the question, "Did you see anything of a horse and buggy coming down that way?" Charley replied that he had; that, in fact, the horse and wtiat had been a buggy were just then in front of him. A crowd soon gathered to take a look at the wreck. The horse was lying on his back with his feet slicking up through the remnants of the buggy, which were piled on top of him. These were dragged off, and one of the crowd gave the horse u kick to see if he was alive, and was astonished to see the ani mal turn over and struggle to his feet. Ho was uncoupled from the wreck and I led awav, apparently unhurt. Tiie bluff where the accident hap pened is not less than fifty feet sheer, and how the horse escaped with his life is a mystery.

The strip is about five miles wide and extends along the edge of the timber, beginning near the Idaho lino and ex tending south almost to Hock lake. An-' other similar etrip extends out south of Cheney and west towardp Spangle. Just what the plant is that kills the sheep is not known, but it is seldom that a band iB driven across it without losing from five, to fifty head. The Per son A Poe sheep of 0000 head in two bands that crossed the strip this week, lost only twelve head and their owners consider themselves quite fortunate in escaping so lightly. Last year they lost forty. Several years ago, before the exact lo cation of the trip was definitely known a band of 1500 sheep was driven leis urely across it, and 700 of them died from the effects of the poison. Experi ence lias taught sheepmen that the only way to cross in safety is to drive the sheep across on the run, so they will not get an opportunity of grazing on it. This method is the one now universally adopted. ij led, I. timl 'I hat In Null tu Kill fihei'ji Dilfen Acrii It. Just at this time of the year there is a general movement of large bands of sheep from their raugea south and west of Spokane to their summer ranges in the mountains to the north and east. Several large bauds have passed by east of that city within the past few weeks on tins route. The sheepmen are having this spring the usual trouble in crossing what is known aiuoug them as "poison strip," says the Spokane Chronicle. This is a strip of country about five miles wide between Spokane and Pine City, on which tbere grows s)ine kind of a plant that is poisonous to sheep. It is not generally known that such a strip exists, but every sheepman who has ever run sheep in that part of the state is At Hood Kiver, Monday morning, Mrs. Gertie Nickelsen, wife of Kev. Chris Nickelsen. The funeral will take place at Hood Kiver tomorrow, Rev. J. II. Wood of this city preaching the sermon. It is seldom that so sorrowful a task is given u newspaper reporter as the noting the passing away of so noble a little woman as Gertie Nickelsen. She was the daughter of Kev. Kighy, Htu tioned for two years at Hood ltiver. There she met and married the man whose heart today is almost broken at her loss. It was largely through her iullu ence that he was called into the church, and took up the culling of a preacher. lieing assigned to the charge at Prinevilie, lie began bin labors there, and tliere she contracted the dis ease, consumption, that finally carried her away. Last full her husband took her to Cali fornia, hoping that aided by the climate and surroundings she might regain her health, but the hope was vain. Itealiz iug that the end was near, she usked to be brought home that she might die sur rounded by her relatives.
