There is a report current to the effect
that the steamers lone and Sarah Dixon
were to be put on this .route September

building of a wharf, both of which cost
money.
Andy Baird, a Walla Walla cattle

One of the aeronauts who sailed away
never to be heard of again was Frederick
Gower, the first husband. of Mme. Nor
dica, the American, prima donna. The
match waa nnhappy, and Mme. Nordica
brought a suit for divorce. Mr. Gower,
who waa an amateur balloonist, con
verted a large fortune in stocks into cash
and soared away into the skies, which
was the last glimpse of himself, the
money and the balloon. After several
years of widowhood Nordica married a
hungarian operatic singer. There is a
lingering impression that Mr. Gower
may have landed and destroyed his bal
loon, and that he ia living somewhere
incognito.

on the npper sound in quest of the
whale that has been sighted in the

ple of Vaughn speared the whale last

mountains of Ingalls creek, 13 miles
from Leavenworth, since 4 o'clock Mon

went to look for her, and though the
search has been continued generally
ever since, no trace of the missing child
has been found. Bears and cougars an

that she haa drowned in the creek or fal
len over a precipice. A searching party
