A Co-Operative Aeaociatloia.
A tensaliubal nrlicle bas been going
the rounds of the Dress recently that a
colony, formed after Edward Bellamy's
nationalist plan, had been organized on
the Columbia river, and that Mr. A. H.
Jewett, of While Salmon, was the founder
aud manager. Yesterday that gentleman
was in the city, and desiring to know the
tacts of the matter . a reporter ot tbe
Times. MoUNTaJCNEEB had an interview
wiib him.
In answer to a question on tbe plan ef
formation, Mr. Jewett said that tbe absn
ciaiii.n as not a colony in tbe national
ist sense, iu which there would be a com
munity of property. While he consid
ered the ideas of Mr. Bellamy excellent,
be did not believe the people sufficiently
advanced to carry out successfully tbe
plans formulated. "We do not intend to
attempt any such thing in White Sal
man," said the gentleman. -'Our project
is a business one, having for its oujeel
liberal returns ior capital invested. The
only difference between it and other co
operative associations is that in this one
the shareholder will receive that propor
tion of the profits to which his shares of
stock and the amount of labor he has ex
pended entitles him. Each member will
be a worker, and will follow that depart
ment ef labor to which he is adapted.
There will be no drones in our organiza
tion." Tbe articles of incorporation are filed
in Sposane and with the secretary ot state
of Washington at Olympia.and the names
f tbe incorporators are A. H. Jewett aud
Mrs. Jennie Jewett, ot White balmou; D.
Pierce and David Hansaker of Spo
kane; T. F. Worms, of Wenatcbee. As
stated in tbe articles the object ef tbe as
socialion is for fruit growing, agricul
tural and manufacturing purposes.
- Mr. Jewett did not feel at liberty to
give tbe amount of the capital stock ; but
said there was enough subscribed to in
sure success en a limited scale, and as
necessities demanded more would be
added. He is a stockholder the same as
every other member of the association,
and each will have a personal interest in
the result of his labors.
There are 840 acres at present controlled
by the association, and Ibis is rich agri
cultural land adapted to the gr wth of
fruit and cereals. But, aside from farm
ing, other industrial employment will he
represented, and there will be mechanics
and manufacturers who will add their
wealth of labor to the community.
There will be ten families located at
White Salmon with whom to begin the
association, and in less than one year from
twenty-five to forty mere will be added to
the community.
White Salmon is situated about twenty
miles wi-st of The Dalles, on (he Wash
ington side ot the Columbia river, and
hits always been well known for its facil
ities for fruit growing. Mr. Jewett is a
pioneer resident, and for many years tbe
products ot his well-cultivated farm havu

Circuit Court.
Charles J.Johnson, a subject ot the
king of Norway and Sweden, was made
a citizen of the United States yesterday.
The jury in the case of Pease & Mays
vs. Allen Grant returned a verdict for
the plaintiff this morning in the full
amount sued for.
This afternoon the case of Perkins vs.
Wilson, an action for price of cattle con
verted to defendant's use, was called, and
the following jury empanelled: John
Wagonblast, John Singleton, D A Stur
gis, M H Miller, F T Esping, J B Band,
Al Reese, W Lord, Geo Patterson, W R
Menefee, C M Fouts and Adam Kauf
man. Mr E Schutz is attorney for the
plaintiff and Mr H H Riddell for the de
fendant. In tbe auit of Martha J. Johnson against
Wilson Johnson, a decree of divorce was
made by tbe judge and filed with the o ,unty
clerk to-day.
Julia A. B'ossom was granted a divorce
f.um Daniel W. Blossom by the court yes
terday. The jury in the case of Martha Perkins
vs A. Wilson was given to the jury yester
day afternoon, and they returned a verdiot
in about an hour for the plaintiff for $47.60
and costs.
The case of Richard Bunker vs P. Willig
was on trial to-day with the following jury
empanelled: C M Fonts, Adam Kaufman,
D A Sturgiss, John Heinricb, George Pat
terson, W E Sylvester, J B Rand, C W
Dietzel, J E Singleton, M H Miller and F T
Esping The attorney for the plaintiff is
Mr. Charles F. Lord, of Portland, and Du
fur & Menefee for the defendant. There is
quite a history connected with this case,
which dates back many years. It appears
that Wi'lig gave bis wife from whom he is
now divorced a promissory note for $100,
ob consideration of love and affection, and
she afterwsrds sold it to the plaintiff in this
case. A tiul wss had of tbe case at the
last term of oourt, and a verdict rendered
for $5, which was set aside and a new trie'
granted. As a matter of defense Willig
claims that there was a failure of consider
ation in the fact that his wife was true to
bim.
Argument was made in the case of
Banker vs Willig at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and nnder tbe instructions of the
eenrt was given ts tbe jury, whieh re
mained ont all night, but were unable to ar
rive at a verdiot. Upon convening of court
this morning the judge discharged tbe jury.
thus continuing the case nntil next term.
This ends the jury cases for this term.
The court bas been to-day engaged in
hearing arguments, demurrers, exparte,

Fartona For Battle.
Charleston, W. Va March 1 Dis
patches from tbe scene of last night's
fight between striking miners and non
union mea in Wyaut's Eagle mine say
that many of the attacking miners were
drunk and clamorous The attacked men
replied witb vigor to tbe assailants' fire.
It is said that not more than 100 yards
vparatsd them. It is said that tbree of
Wyaat'a men were killed, but tbis is
contradicted. Tbe Fayette county sher
iff was on tbe ground with 50 deputies,
bnt did not feel able to cope wiib I be
rioters, so be called for troops. Wyant's
men are furious, it is reported, and are
anxions for another battle. A later ac
count says tbat after last night's conflict
tbe attacking party went to tbe Moat-,

ments, and returned at 8 A.. K., 1000
strong. Wyant's mea are strongly ea
treocbed in tbe mountains Seven com
panies of militia are on tbe ground. At
latest accounts the fight bsd not been re
newed .
Excitement still runs bigh, but no
new outbreaks are feared. One dead
and six seriously wounded is tbe official

Expensive Paint.
The Astoria Budget shakes its gocd repu
tation for truth and yeracity by telling the
following: There is a rancher over on Vas
hon Island, Washington, that bas his bouse
painted more expensively than any other
honse io the state. Last fall he found float
ing in the sound a box which contained
about 200 pauoda of what be thought was a
fine quality of fireproof paint. The paint
was packed in small tin ctns and bore a for
eign label, and as 'it bad cost him nathiug
bs thought be would paint his bouse with
it, The bouse is now painted inside and
ont, and in doing so tbe greater portion of
the paint was consumed. Tbe rancher bas
now discovered, much to bis sorrow, that
instead of 6ri proof paint he bas got bis
bouse covered with about $3000 worth of
smuggled opium, which had been thrown
overboard by some smugglers to escape be
ing found in their possession.
A Fatal Mistake.
A peculiar sad story, says the Asotin,
Wash., Sentinel, comes from tbe section
east of Pullman. Mr. and Mrs. George
Clark gave strychnine to their 4-year-old-soo,
thinking it quinine. Tbe child died
in spasms, but his death was attributed
to warms. While the little boy was yet
unburied, Mrs. Clark's brother, Frank
Davis, was at tbe house and complained
oLfeeling poorly, and was induced to
take a dose of tbe supposed quinine. He
then left on horseback, but before riding
far felt so badly. that he supposed he had
taken poison. He met his father in a
sleigh, and in tbe vehicle was driven rap
idly to his brother's home. On arriving
there Mr. Davis fell from the sleigh in a
hard spasm, and came out of that ene
only to go into another, until he had
twenty. Doctors were sent for, antidotes
us d and Mr. Davis was finally gotten out
of danger. When Davis' couditi n was
first discovered, word was sent to Mr.
Clark's, and arrived just in time,, tbe
other members of the family having pre
pared doss, which tbey intended taking
on retiring that night. Another of the
children, a little girl, had been -given
dose, but bad vomited it at once, thus
escaping death.
Fire at Island City.
A somewhat sen -atimial fire occu-red at
Island City Monday. The residence of
Oswald Van Winkler was discovered to bs
on fire and when the neighbors rushed to
tbe scene, the ' two young children of the
family were found within the building, and
only by the opportune arrival of assistance
they wsuld have met a fearful death.
"Oswald" the name by wbioh he is gener
ally known, is a carpenter and away from
home at work. The mother of the child
ren left them at home and was away on a
visit. Dunag her abaenos tbe children got
hold of some ra itches and set fire to the
house. One of ths children was rescued ia
an almost suffocated eondition from a lower
room and wig bled with same, lne
other child appeared at a window op stairs
and was holding a bunch of mt to lies in itn
hind whea it was hurrie (ly snatched from
the perilous sarroandius. A considerable
amount of censure has naturally resulted
from such a oarelest and thoughtless pieee
of work. - -
Colored Snow. :
The I.lal o World mentions a fall of dust.
vend row t-t that place last week, and a
letter in the Mountain U'.me Bulletin notes
a fll ol dark snow at Pioe Grove, at abant
the same time. These falls of off colored
snow were preceded 'or almost co-incidmt
with the auroral display. C. Tatro says
that at Rocky Bar a number of years ago a
fall of black snow immediately followed an
uonaually magnificent exhibition of north
ern lighta. Whether tbe appearances of tbe
aurora and colored snow ' were merely coin
cidences or whether, the former in some
way caua-d the la'ter we are unable to say.
Falls of colored snow are not rare, and
wnile many attempts to explain them have
beoB mads, none have been satisfactory.
Dust of the esrlh raised en the wings of
the wind may account for soma of them,
mcterio dast others, while red, black, and
other colors may ho caused bv northern
lights or other electrical phenomena.
Another Tragedy.
Ashland Tidings: Psnl Hinchernian and
Henry Easterly are two men who have been
employed is Wm Lyttleron's section gaag
at Cole's. Tuesday last tbey quarrel-d
and were disshargad. Both went to Hern
brook, and Wedursdiy Etsterly started t
walk back to Cola's. Bioukerton had mde
threats against Easterly and hid behind a
oodahed, and wben Easterly eamo along
followed bim with a piece of gas pips to at
tack him. Hearing the noise. Easterly
tnrned around and warned Hinckermsi not
to come any further. Hinckerman then
rushed at the other man with bis weapon,
whea Easterly drew a revolver and shot
three times, tbe last shot atriking Hincker
man in the top of tbe head, bnt not injuring
the brain, it ia said. Easterly gave himself
op and was taken to Yreka Thursday. It
was thought at first that Hinckerman
would die.

Tonsil Times Throngh Texas.
Elmer H. Smith, a big Texas oattiemaii,
wis at the Ross yesterday, says the Ssn
Franoisoo Call. He saya that in Starr
county and tbat yieinity a deplorable state
of affairs exists. The agony among tbe
stockmen caused bv tbe draught is about all
over, be says, for all the cattle, sheep and
horses are dead, and the oountry is begin
ning to look like, a vast desert. Tbe sand
has drifted from the encinal tor many miles.
as there is no grass or vegetation of any
kind to impede its progress, and the
ground is covered with it to 'hs depth ot
two or three ioches. Oa a windy day it is
simply impo8ible for men or animals to
travel oa account of the blinding dust.
The time for planting ia rapidly passing
away, and yet there is no rainfall. Msny
p !ople are lacking tbe absoluts necessities
of life, and still there is ni prospect ot a
ohango for the better. One rsnohm .n last
August owned 2200 shetp, 600 cattle and 80
hones. He has left 2 horses, 10 sheep and
1 cow. Another hid 1200 sheep, of which
he has 25 left, while all his other stock is
dead. Still another had 2000 sheep, 600
cattle and 100 horses, of which 150 sheep
remain, while- the eatfHs ar1 horsM are all
dead.
Quite a Story.
An exchange has this: An amusing inci
dent is recorded from Siuyie's islmd, where
a herd of cows was recently d-horned. Io
the herd was a "muley" cow whiob. bad no
horns. She always had to taks a back seat,
and if she ever came within reach of a pair
of horns was sure to feel tbem, and was
often "horned" and so muob banged about
tbat she wished she could grow a pair ef
horns or die. One day all of tbe rest of tbe
held were driven into a corral, and tbe poor
muley wash ft out in the cold, thinking
thst even her owner had gone back on her.
What was her surprise and joy a few mo
ments later to sea tbe others coming ont of
the corral witb bloody beads and no horns.
She took one good look at ths first vietim.
and then sailed in and fairly wiped the
earth with her, till she bellowed for mercv.
Then another came ont and waf pnt through
a similar oonrso of sprouts, and so on with
tbe whole lot, and from that day to tbis ths
muley is the boss ot the fl jck nd feeds in
the choice spocs and leads a gay lif.

The figures speak for themselves, as the payments and accumulations of the Tontine Companies, as well as dividends, are
proportionately Less than those of the Mutual Benefit, and show that 116,648,086 would have been saved to the policy holders of

The above table shows that from $150,000,000 less premiums than the New York Life, the Mutual Benefit has saved $20,000,

Benefit has saved i33.coo.ooo more of its interest receipts than the Equitable; that from 1479,000,000 less premiums, the Mutual
Benefit has saved over four times as much of its interest receipts above expenses for policy holders as the New York Life and Eqait
able combined, by excess of payments to members, plus assets, over premiums received; and that $120,000,000 would have bee
saved by the f wo companies since organizauon, under management as favorable as the Mutual Bknivit's management. The first
table shows that while the Mutual Benefit saved $1,294,557 of interest receipts above all expenses in 1892, the total expenses of
the New York Life and Equitable exceeded their combined interest receipts by over three million dollars in J892.
The Tontine Companies, like lotteries, do not publish the moneys forfeited by members unable to pay up to the end
but the above tables exhibit the enormons amount of the loss to the losers, and show the great advantage of the Annual Durtribation
