says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
In speaking of the work of the
cannery, Superintendent E. B.
Dutton said:
"This cannery was installed
here more as an experiment than
as a purely business proposition,
but every one connected with it
had full faith in its ultimate suc
cess. The short time that it has
been running has demonstrated
that it is one of the safest and
best investments that could have
been made; in fact, it has exceed
ed the hopes of the most sanguine.
Since the opening of the season
we have been canning on an aver
age of 30..000 fish daily, not count
ing a large number of halibut that
were packed fresh.
"The run this year, although
not as large as that of 1901, or the
run of four years before that date,
is very good. Last week we had
more salmon than we could han

and throws iio m: chine in g-ar at the same time.
It can then be thrown in and cut of gear without
lowering the hood. One lever which changes

that a boy who can drive a team can handle it.
Strength and Durability is one of the most
important points to be considered in a manure

durable wheel. Extra strong spoke and rim,
heavy steel tires. Strong, well braced bos with
heavy oak sill. Oak tongue, hickory doubletrees,
malleable castings, gears and sprockets all keyed

"Our new fish-cleaning machine

expired, it was determined to march
them by way of. Paw-Paw Grove to
Ottawa and there concede what' the
governor feared, he had no nower to
withhold.
"While on. our march from Dixon to
Fox river," says -Mr. Orwin, "one
night while in camp, which was formed
in a square inclosing about forty acres,
our horses, outside grazing, got scared
about 9 o'clock, and a grand stampede
took place. They ran right through out
lines in spite of us and ran over many
of us. No man knows what noise a
thousand horses make running unless
he has been there. It beats a young
earthquake, especially among scared
men, and certain they were 'scared
then. We expected the Indians to be on
us that night. ' Fire was thrown, drums
beat, fifes played, which added addi
tional fright to the horses. We saw no
real enemy that night, but a "line of
battle was formed. There were no eyes

posts in line, and what frightened the
horses is yet unknown.- s '
"During this short Indian campaign,"
continues the same gentleman, "we had
some hard times, often hungry, but we
had a great deal of sport; especially of
nights, foot racing, some horse facing,
jumping, telling anecdotes, in 1 which
Lincoln beat all,- keeping up a constant
laughter and good humor all "the time;
among the soldiers some card plSying
and wrestling, in which Lincoln 'took a
prominent part. I think it saf er to say
he i was never thrown in a wrestle.
Mr. Irwin, it seems, still regards the
Thompson affair as 'a dog fall.' Whilt
in the army .tie kept a haridlerchiei
tied around him nearly all the tims

sport as well as any one couJda He
w:as seldom ever beat jumping.., D(ming
the campaign Lincoln himself yas al
ways ready for an emergency, en
dured hardships like a good .soldier. He
never complained, nor did he fear, dan
ger. When fighting was expected, or
danger apprehended Lincoln was the
first to .say, 'Let's go.' He had, the con
fidence nf every man of his company,
and they strictly obeyed his orders at
a word. His company was all young
men and full of sport.
A Wise Hog.
"One night in Warren county a white
nog, a young sow, came into our lines
which showed more gqod sense, to my
mind, than any bog I ever saw. This
hog swam creeks and rivers and went
I with us clear through, to, I think-, the
1 mouth of Fox river, and there theboye
killed It, or it would doubtless have
come home with us. If it got behind in
daylight as we were marching, which
it did sometimes, It would follow on
the track and come to us at night. It
was naturally the cleverest, friendliest
disposed hog any man ever saw, and
its untimely death was by many of us
greatly deplored, for we all liked the
hog for Its friendly disposition and
-good manners, for it never molested
anything and kept in its proper place."
On the 28th of May the volunteers
were discharged. The governor had al-1
ready called for 2.000 more men to take '
their places, but iu the me-miline he
made the most strenuous efforts to or-;
ganize a small force out of the recently
discharged to protect the frontiers until
the new levies were ready for service.
He succeeded in raising one regiment
and a spy company. Many officers of
distinction, among them General White
side himself, enlisted as private sol
diers and served in that capacity to the
end of the war. Captain Lincoln bo
came Private Lincoln of the Independ
ent Spy company.
After Lincoln became a private, al
though he was never in an engagement,
he saw some hard service in scouting
and trailing, as well as in carrying
messages and reports.
We fortunately possess a narrative
of Lincoln's Individual experience cov
ering the whole of that period from the
pen of George W. Harrison, his friend,
companion and messmate. It is given
in part:
The new company thus formed was
called the "Independent Spy company,"
not being under the control of any regi
ment or brigade, but receiving orders di rectly
from the commander In chief. Dr. j
Karly of Bprlmrfleld was elected captain.

oung i chief where he had been
drawn cn the. grass half a mile and con
cealed in the thicket. Those who trailed'
this once noble warrior and found him
were Lincoln, I think, Wyatt and myself.
By order of General Atkinson our com
pany 'started on this expedition one even
ing, traveled all night and reached Gra
tiot's at sunrise. A few hours after Gen
eral Posey came up 'to the fort with his
brigade of nearly a thousand men, when !
he positively refused to pursue the In
dians, being strongly solicited by Captain
Early, Lincoln and others, squads of In
dians still showing themselves in a men
acing manner 'one and a half miles dis
tant. ' ' '; .
Our company was disbanded at White
water, "Wis., a short time before the mas
sacre at Bad Axe "by General Henry, and
most of .our. men started for home on he
following morning, ' but it so happened
that the night previous to starting on
this long trip Lincoln's horse and mine
were stolen, . probably by soldiers of our
own army,., and we were thus compelled
to start outside' the cavalcade, but I
laughed at our fate, and he joked at it,
and we all' started off merrily, but the
rode by turns with us, and we fared about
equal with the rest.
Thus we came to Peoria. Here we
bought a canoe In which we two paddled
our way to Fekin. The other, members of
our company, separating in various di
rections, stimulated by the proximity of
home, could never- have consented to
travel at our usual tardy mode. At'Pekin
Lincoln made an oar with which to row
our Uttle boat. One of us pulled away at
the one bar while the other sat astern to
steer or prevent circling.
On the next day after we left Pekin we
overhauled a raft of saw logs, with two
men afloat on it to urge it on with poles
and to guide it in the channel. We pulled
up to them and went on the raft, where
we were made welcome by various dem
onstrations, especially by that of an in
vitation to a feast on fish,' corn bread,
eggs, butter and coffee, just prepared for
our benefit. Of these good things we ate
almost immoderately, for it was the only
warm meal we had made for several days.
While preparing it and after dinner Lin
coln entertained them, and they enter
tained us for a couple of hours very
amusingly.
This slow mode of travel was at the
time a new mode, and the novelty made it
for a short time agreeable. We descended
the Illinois to Havana, where we sold oui
boat and again set out the old way, over
the sand ridges for Petersburg. As we
drew near-home the impulse became
stronger and urged us on amazingly. The
long strides of Lincoln, often slipping
back in the loose sand six Inches every
step, were just right for me, and he was
Creatly diverted when he noticed me be
hind him stepping along in his tracks to
keep from slipping.
CHAPTER VL
Lincoln Becomes a Candidate For the
Legislature.
HE volunteers from Sangamon
returned to their homes shortly
I! before the state election, at
which, among other officers, as
semblymen were to be chosen. Lin
coln's popularity had been greatly en
hanced by his service in the war, and
some of his friends urged him with
warm solicitations to become a candi
date at the coming election. He pru
dently resisted and declined to consent,
alleging in excuse his limited acquaint
ance in the county at large, until Mr.
James Rutledge, the founder of New
Salem, added the weight of his advice
to the nearly unanimous desire of the
neighborhood. It is quite likely that
Lincoln's recent military career was
thought to furnish high promise of
usefulness in civil affairs, but Mr. Rut
ledge. was sure that he" saw another
proof of his great abilities in a speech
which Abe was induced to make, just
about this time, before the New Salem
Literary society. The following is an
account of this speech by R. B. Rut
ledge, the son of James:
"About the year 1832 or 1833, Mr.
Lincoln made his first effort at public
speaking. A debating club, of which
James Rutledge was president; was
organized and held regular meetings.
As he arose to speak his tall form tow-
ered above the little assembly,
Both
hnnrla wta , thrnst down deen in the
PocketB of hia pantaloons. A perceptt-
ble amile at once lit up the face, of the
aodlenea. for mil antldnated the rata-
w of some humorous story. But he
styie; to tne innnite astonisnment of
his friends. As he warmed with -his
subject his hands would forsake i h$
pockets and would enforce his ideas by
awkward gestures, but would very
soon seek their easy resting places.
He pursued the question with reason
and argument so pithy and forcible
that all were amazed. The president at
his fireside after the meeting remarked
to his wife that there was more in
Abe's head" than wit and fun; that he
was already a fine speaker; that all he
lacked was culture to enable him to
reach the high destiny which he knew
was in store for him. From that time
Mr. Rutledge took a deeper interest in
him. " , ,
Yielded With Reluctance.
"Soon after Air. Rutledge urged him
to announce himself as a candidate for
the legislature.
This he at first de-
d that a canvass of the county would
, '
bring him prominently before the peo
ple and in time would do him good.
He reluctantly yielded to the solicita
tions of his friends and made a partial
canvass."
In those days political animosities
were fierce enough, but owing to the
absence . of nominating conventions
party lines were not, as yet, very dis
tinctly drawn In Illinois. Candidates
announced themselves, but usually it
was done after full consultation with
Influential friends or persons of con
siderable power in the neighborhood of
the candidate's residence. There were
often secret combinations among a
number of candidates, securing a mu
tual support, but in Mr. Lincoln's case
there is no trace of such an under
standing. This (1S32) was the year of General
Jackson's election. The Democrats stig
matized their opponents as "Federal
ists," while the latter were steadily
struggling to shuffle off the odious
name. For the present they called
themselves Democratic Republicans,
and it was not until 1833 or 1834 that
they . formally took to themselves the
tlesiguation of Whig. The Democrats
vrcre known ; better as Jackson men
than as Democrats and were inexpress
ibly proud of either name.
Since 1S2G every general election in
, the state had resulted in a Democratic
! victory. The young men were mostly
Democrats, and the most promising tal
; ems in the state were devoted to the
! ca-ise. which seemed destined to
I achieve success wherever there was a
contest. In a new country largely peo
j pled with adventurers from older
I states there were necessarily found
J great numbers who would attach them
selves to the - winning side merely be
cause It was the winning side.
It is unnecessary, to restate here the
prevailing questions In national poli
tics Jackson's stupendous; struggJ6
I W!th bank- hard money, ho mo
i nopoly, internal improvements, the tar-
iff and nullification or the personal
and political relations of the chieftains,
Jackson, Clay and Calhoun. Mr. Lin
coin revealed in an address to the
people of Sangamon county which ol
those questions were of special interest
to the people of Illinois and conse
quently which of them principally oc
cupied his own attention.
The Democrats were divided into
"whole hog men" and ""nominal Jack
son men," the former being thoroughly
devoted to the fortunes and principles
of their leader, while the latter were
willing to trim a little for the sake of
popular support. . It Is probable that
Mr. Lincoln might be fairly classed as
a "nominal Jackson man," although
the precise character of some of tne
views he then held, or is supposed to
have held, on national questions is In
volved in considerable doubt. He had
not wholly forgotten Jones or Jones'
teachings. He still remembered his
high disputes with Offutt In the shanty
at Spring Creek, when he effectually
defended Jackson against the "abuse"
of his employer. He was not Whig,
but "Whiggish," as Dennis Hanks ex
presses it.
It is not lke!y that a man who de
ferred so habitually to the popular sen
timent around him would have selected
the occasion of his settlement In a new
place to go over bodily to a hopelesa
political minority. At all events we
have at least three undisputed facts
which make it plain that he then occu
pied an intermediate position between
the extremes of all parties. First, he
received the votes of all parties at New
Salem; second, he was the next year
appointed postmaster by General Jack
son; and, third, the Democrats ran him
for the'' legislature two years after
ward, and lie was elected by a larger
majority than any other candidate.
"Politics Short and Sweet"
Mr. Lincoln's first appearance on the
stump in the course of the canvass was
at Pappsville, about eleven miles west
of Springfield, upon the occasion of a
public sale. The sale over, speechmak
Ing was about to begin when Mr. Lin
coln observed strong symptoms of in
attention in his audience, who had tak
en that particular moment to engage
in. what Mr. James R. Herndon pro
nounces "a general fight" Lincoln saw
that one of his friends was suffering
more than he liked in the melee, and,
stepping into the crowd, he shouldered
them" sternly away from his man until
he met a fellow who refused to fall
back; him he seized by the nape of the
neck and the seat of his breeches and
tossed him ten or twelve feet easily.
After this episode, as characteristic of
him as of the times, he mounted the
platform and delivered, with awkward
modestv. the followinjt sneech:
