Owing to heavy demands for .lumber

A few days ago William Adams, whose
home is near Wilbur, found a rattle
snake with eight rattles, lying dead only
a few feet from the door of his houBe,
and standing over the reptile was his
cat and three kittens. The snake was
stretched out full length, and its head
was nearly severed from the body. The
cat nd kittens had the appearance of
having a prolonged straggle, as they sat
looking down upon their victim.
The telephone line to Goldendale will

stretching of the wire on the other side
of the river will be begun next Monday.
A Tacoma dispatch doubts the state
ment of a returned Yukon miner, who
says that with three other men he dug
a hole 72 feet long, 61 feet wide and 16
feet deep in four months, and figures
that they would have to move 25 yards
of dirt each every day. If the reporter
had run over bis figures, he would find
they would have to move only 5 yards.
Reports from Dyea are to the effect
that the beach is covered with freight,
and that the Indians are unable to move
it over the mountains. They have been
snowed under, their being enough it is
said, to keep them all busy for eighteen
months. Many will try the new route
on this account, the distance is greater,
bat the route is level and pack horses can
be used.
The examination of Eugene Simmons

Indians near 3-Mile, was concluded yes

Mrs. Amelia Frank, one of the parties
charged with murdering her husband,
Herman Frank, in Lincoln county, on
or about October 25, 1894, has been re
leased from the county jail on a bond of
$5000, furnished by her two brothers,
Fred and Godbelp Wagner, who are also
in jail, charged with being accomplices
in the same crime.
Last Thursday Johnnie Freer came
near killing Indian Joe, in Wenatchee.
The two were examining a shotgun in
O'Connor's livery barn, not knowing the
firearm was loaded, when it went off ac
cidentally, grazing the Indian's forehead
er the right temple. The Indian fell
tothe floor unconscious, but when the
Ldpctor arrived he found only an ngly
esh wound and a frightened man.
In three weeks or less Lincoln county
will need an army of farm hands, to
handle the immense crops, eays a cor
respondent of the Spokesman-Review.
Farm hands have been scarce, and un
less there is an influx, the available
force will-be unable to handle the crop.
Many of the men formerly' engaged as
hands bave gone to the mountains,
where they are mining or prospecting.
The Alaska Exploration & Mining Co.
of Portland, has filed articles of incor
poration. It proposes to build railways,
boats, tramways, prospect .for mines,
buy and sell mines, outfit prospectors,
operate mining machinery, ran Bmelters
and mills, build and operate- telegraph
and telephone lines, and io ' anything
else there is to do. ' It's capital stock is
$3,200. It must have the Portland
Mining exchange. behind it, else whence
came all that capital?
One thing about this Alaskan craze
it will teach geographical distances so
clearly that the anti-annexation news
papers will not be able to fool their
readers with clap-trap about remote Ha
waii. The Sandwich Islands are distant
in miles from San Francisco but a paltry
2080, and in time but . a week. The
mouth of the Yukon is 2300 miles from
San Francisco, the gold fields are 4000
miles, and in time distant from a month
to two months. For indefinite years to
come water communication will.be our
only bond with Alaska, so that it is for
all practical purposes an island domain.
And compared with it Hawaii is a regu
lar coast resort, near and accessible.
THE QUEEN WAS-CROWDED.
And the Finer Had an Original Way
of Making; Room.
The Seattle Argus has the following
story anent the Clondyke rush :
"Although the Alaska boats are crowd
ed these days, the officers are doing all
that they can to make everybody' com
fortable and contented.
"When the Queen was about to sail, a
man rushed down to the parser and ex
claimed excitedly :
"Look here, I paid for a stateroom for
myself and wife, and when I got there
I found an old cow sticking her head
through the window !"
- "I am very sorry, sir," said the pnr
ser, "we are very crowded, but I will do
the best I can for you. John ! (turning
to a deckhand), go np on deck and turn
that cow around." .
This reminds us of a story of the early
50', when the steamers by way of Pana
ma were crowded to their utmost limits.
The fourth night out from New York, a
lank passenger applied to the purser for
a place to sleep, at the same time ex
hibiting his ticket.
"Why," said the purser, "you seem
pretty late in making this request, where
have you been sleeping the past three
nights?"
"Well I'll tell you equire," was the
reply, "I've been sleeping .on a fat man
down in the stateroom, but the darned
honory skunk has got well and won't
stand it any more." -

Samuel Morris, of Rossland, bad an
awful encounter with a vicious horse the
other day, says the Pocatello, Idaho,
Tribune. He was attempting to break
the animal, a common little cayuse,
when it made a rush for him, and
grabbed him by the arm, between the
wrist and elbow. Then .the brute started
to drag him around, trying to jump on
him. Morris called loudly for help, but
the horse kept hold of the man's arm.
Even when assistants arrived the. horse
could not be made to let go. He was
beaten over the head, bat held to the
man's arm with his teeth. An effort to
pry open his jaws failed, and his month
was jabbed with knives, but the beast
held on, and it was finally found neces-

jaws were only pried open and the man
released when the horse dropped dead.
The injured-arm will probably have to
be amputated.
Heavy Catch of Sockeyes.
Fully '30,000 sockeye salmon were
caught in the Island Packing Company's
big doable trap on the salmon banks
near Friday's Harbor, last Thursday
night, and this with only one of five
traps which the company owns and Op
erates in Island countv. The cannery is
running to its full capacity, and is pack
ing from 1000 to 1200 cases a day, work
ing by daylight only. In the cannery
proper 91 Chinamen and about 50 white
men and boys are employed, Tind the
company has found it necessary to send
away for additional help. On the com
pany's two steamers and at their traps
about 75 more men are employed, all
whites, at wages ranging from $35 to $40
a month. ' Chlopeck Bros., of Seattle,
are baying and shipping a great many
salmon fresh, and the dogfish brongbtto

A. W. Negus 'met with' an accident
this morning that leaves shini almost
blind. He had been working on the
foundation of the Wolf building, but
that being finished, ' this morning he
went up on the brewery grade to watch
the men at work' blasting oat the grade.
While standing near where a hole . was
being drilled, a small piece of steel broke
from the head of the drill and struck Lis
right eye. Dr. Hollister who dressed
the wound, says it will be a day or so
before the fall measure of the damage
can be told, as the eye ball is now a clot
of blood, but thinks there is no chance
of the eye being saved. The a-cident is
doubly serious to Mr. Negus, as there is
film grown over his left eye, which
makes it' almost useless.
