PROM PORT COLVILLE TO J
PTJGET SOUND.
Capt. H. H. Pierce, 21si Inf.,
and party have returned from the
Sound.
The party left Vancouver Bar-'
racks on July SMtli. and proceeded
to Ft. Colville, where pack mules j
were procured and horses fori
mounting the party (thirteen men j
and officers) were equipped. By j
-vugust :in tne whole party was on
the left bank jrf the Columbia
river: here the Indian trail was!
struck which the party followed in
a general westerly direction for
205 miles. This hi ought them to
tlu Skagit river, which the' de
scended bj' canoes until steam
boat landings wen1 reached. Jn
their march they had to cross four
mountain ranges, the highest pass
having an altitude of GS00 feet
above sea level. At one place a
horse and mule were placed hors
de. combat by falling headlong
down upon the rocks below. Two
others fell, but were rescued. The
country in the vicinity of Bona
parte river, the Okiuakane valley,
and the Methow river, was found i
to be particularly adapted for
stock raising, bunch grass being
verv abundam. Indians of the!
Colville and Moses reservations
raise green corn, potatoes., water
melons, oats, etc., in the valleys.
The obstacles encountered by the
party between the Twitsap river
and the mouth of Cascade river
were great and innumerable. The
windfall, logs and other impedi
ments to the trail necessitated a
free use of the axes, and travel
during those days was very slow.
Miles upon miles of slippery rocks,
snow packs, lagoons, dense un
derbrush and through forests
primeval, had they to encounter;
and often wading rivers and moun
tain torrents at every mile during
the day. Between the head of
Lake Chelan and the summit of
the Cascade range the horses be
came footsore, and the grass being
insufficient they with the pack!
mules were sent back to Fort Col
ville, and the party completed the
remainder of the march from the
summit to the mouth of the Cas
cade river 50 miles on foot.
Being short of rations for some
days previous it is not to be won
dered at that when the command
struck a settlement on Skagit river
the proprietor of an eating-house
was much concerned at the way
the viands left the dishes. Ho set
out upon the table all he had, and
there was no stint, and he said
afterwards that he intended to
keep the table well supplied .and
keep up with the funeral if they
sat all night there. Among the
minor troubles was a two-days'
snowstorm which struck the party
on the summit of the Cascade
range, and being there without
tents they had to huddle together
under some trees to keep warm,
and in this cramped position
passed the whole night and day.
The last 100 miles of the trail was
found to be bad in the extreme,
several degrees worse than "the
Lo-Ip trail of Idaho. Vancouver
Independent.
In Wyoming Territory, wheie
trial by jury is practically abol
ished parties to a case can only
avail themselves of it by making
a demand and depositing nionejT
sufficient to pay the whole bill
the courts are said to grind out
more justice at less cost than any
where else in the Union.
Some one has started the story
that Beecher has made a fortune
of 82,000,000 out of his literary
work. His entire fortune does not
exceed $50,000, and half of that
has been saved from his salary as
a preacher.
THE DEMONS WILE.
"Do you love me?'
The words came softly from
mby lips still dewy with the kisses
of the one to whom they were
spoken, and Gladys Mc Alurtry
knew that Ethelbert Frelinghuysen
was no dissembler, no trihVr with
women's hearts, but 'ver kept
within the precinct of his uoul a
tiiry shrine at which there, burned
forever and ev-r a flame of pure
and passionless affection for her
upon whom he had lavished the
treasures of his heart. Wild and
reckless though he might some
times be, caring nothing lor the
voice of conscience, but plunging
madly forward into the darksome
labyrinths of sin and shame, even
at times Miioking cigarettes,
Gladys knew that her voice could
ever call him back to purity and
repentance, her dimpled hand lead
him in paths that wurc gemmed
with roses of innocence. And o
when he asked the question that
she loved so well to hear there
came to her pretty face a joyous
smile, and the drooping lips that
overhung the riant mouth quivered
wrth pleasure. But she did not
answer him in words. Putting
her dimpled arms around his neck
she kissed him in the warm, two-for-a-bit
fashion that was so dear
to his heart, and then a little
head nestled confidingly upon his
shoulder, and the gentle pressure
of a sofr, warm hand told him a
story of how he had won the first
affection of a pure and trusting
heart.
"But this is not all.' she said,
"kisses and embraces and fair
words are very pleasant things
sweet lips, and warm arms, anil
loving eyes truth, and sincerity,
and purity are very -much fairer
and infinitely rarer."
"Do 3011 mean this?" asked
Ethelbert, bending forward and
looking at Gladys with a fixed,
nailed-at-the-corners-and- clinched
on-the-other-side look.
"I do," she answered, g speaking
the words in the low New York
Post fashion that became the
sensuous grace of her Kenosha feet
so well.
"Then," Ethelbeit, with a grave
tenderness that showed what a
daisy liar he was. "I will not de
ceive you longer."'
""What do yon mean?1' Glnttys
spoke hurriedly.
"T mean," lie replied, "that I
have joined the Anti-Oyster
Benevolent aad Protective Associa
tion," "and don't quite catch the
idea," and turninjr suddcnlv he
vanished from her sight with a
Pinafore glide, leaving the girl
who loved him (andJJ03'sters) well,
alone and desolate. Jloscoe Conk

A Jacksonville paper gives the
following railroad news: Dolsou's
surveying part- is now camped
near Trumbell's mill on Rogue
river, and is now engaged in lo
cating the route to the mouth of
Bear cieek, which will be as far
any location will be made this sea
son. Ilulbert's party on the Sis
kivous have been virtually disband
ed for the winter. Dolsou's corps
will also quit as soon as their pres
ent work is finished. Work on
the tunnel is still progressing, and
will be continued through the
winter. The grading force is all
pmployed yet, jAit if wet weather
continues much longer, they will
be obliged to quit for the season
in a short time. The Central Pa
cific have a number of surveying
parties in the field yet, one being
employed in the Siskryous, and
some work on the road is being
done. Some tunc next year we
can expect to hear the whistle of
the locomotive lu this valley.

moil sense is the embodiment of j
true manhood. It confers a patent

Not by sudden freaks of fortune,

but step by step, through obstacle
and hindrance, they overcome by
the force of character and the
proper direction of the will-power.
Common sense is a tremendous

through ail the ramifications of

In fact it is the history as well as

Cnnal at The Dalles.
The report of C. V. Powell.corps
of engineers, of his survey for a
canal and locks at The Dalles is an
instructive document. Capt.Powell
states that the total fall from
Celilo to Dalles cfty, Ha distance of
K.G miles, Is, at extreme low
water G1.7 feet, at extreme high
water oG.5 feet. The distance
from safe water above Celilo falls
to navigable river next above The
Dalles landing is 5G. feet; the
total fall at low water, is S0.7;
this fall decreases gradually to
flood stage when it becomes 53.2
feet. To overcome these falls
four plans are suggested. Capt.
Powell recommends the lcmoval
of obstructions below, Celilo
falls and a canal and locks around
them. While building the canal
and locks ne proposes to use a
free wagon road 9.G miles long.to be
converted into a free railroad
portage of less than two miles in
length, as soon as the channel is
made navigable to the foot of the
falls. To carry out this plan, in
cluding the canals, he estimates
would cost 10,51 7,34 'i.?l, and he
thinks that with appropriations of
1,000,000 a year the work could
be completed in about eleven
years from commencement.
Everyone has noticed the letters
"T. D." on the front part of thr
bowl of a clay pipe, and some
Dryasdust has made the discovery
that they stand for Timotlry Dex
ter, an eccentric Newburyport
man, who endowed a clay pipe
factory, wrote a book with a few
pages of punctuation marks in the
back, and insisted on viewing a
mock burial of himself, at which
he thrashed his wife because she
did not weep enough.
Many persons iron towels, fold
them and place them awaj before
they are thoroughly dry. This is
an error, and sometimes leads to
results not expected. In this damp
condition there is a mold which
forms on them called "odium,"
one variety of which causes a dis
ease known as ring-worm.
"1 was very severely burned
about the right leg several vears
ago," says Mr. R. R. Colyer, 123
Erie street, Jersey City, N. ,1.,
"and the spot always" remained
tender." A short time ago 1
wounded the old spot, and it re
fused to heal. I applied St. Ja
cobs Oil, half a bottle of which
cured the injured limb."
