Tho following imitation of Colonel
Ingereolls stylo of address was given
at a club dinner not long ago by A.
Miner Griswold, -witty editor of 1 exas
Sittings:
"I am requested," said Colonel In-
gersqii, "to give my laeas aoout maK-
ing this world of ours. But you must
remember, was not consulted about
the making of this world. I don't
even know why it was made in tho
first place, and I don't know why it
was made in tho way it was. There
was really no call for tho world wo
live in. "The universe teemed with
worlds already, many of them lying
idle for the want of business. Over
production had laid its paralyzing
hand on the world-building industry
even before ours was placed on the
stocks.
"While there were millions of
worlds under a high state of cultiva
tion and densely populated, thero
were millions more almost deserted,
not paying running expenses. Why,
there aro myriads of dead worlds
floating in the starry ether, celestial
tramps headed for nowhere, drifting
aimlessly about ottthc.sjja of illimit

"Why did they die? Because there
was absolutely no call for them, not
even a call to repentance. Worn-out

"I would havo arranged tho seasons
differently, so that we could have
snow storms in the dog-days and the
heated term in mid-winter.
"I would have reversed the laws of
gravitation, then when a man fell out
of a six-story window, instead of com
ing down to break his neck, ho would
fly up into tho air, sail about like a
balloon and come down easily at his
leisure.
"As I remarked in a former lecture,
I would havo mado health contagious

laboring under a well-developed

teeth, when he needs them most, and
keens his corns, which aro really of no
service to him whatever. I would
havo him shed his corns and hold on
to his teeth.

uso for tho making of this eartn,

would come when Jay Gould would

CONTENTION BETWEEN RAILROADS.
The Race Between the Northern aad
Union Pacific Becoming Lively.
CnT.iTAT.TS, Aug. 13. Besides a de
sire to build railroads,the companies at
work in this locality seem quite will
ing to do a little spitework. Some two
miles southwest of Chehalis the lines
of the proposed TJnion Pacific, from
Portland to the Sound, and the North
ern Pacific, from Chehalis to Willapa
harbor, cross almost at right angles
Each company have strong crews o
men at work, with the intention of
completing their grade first, as there
is a difference of four feet between. the
level of the grades, and tho company
last to get finished will have to con
form to tho level of the other crrade.
The TJnion Pacific's grade is here nine
feet high, and the Northern's only
five, so it will make a big difference to
tlie company that gets left. Tho
Northern's work is being done by the
contractor, while that on the Union
grade is being done by a force taken
from Hunt's graders on his line to
Gray's harbor. This fact seems to
confirm the opinion, which is
gaining ground, that the TJnion
Pacific is really backing Hunt in
his building toward the harbor.
Bight-of-way agent Herriot said
hero Saturday that his company, the
TJnion Pacific, had not yet secured
the right of way through Winlock and
Centralia, and that it was not improb
able tho former town would be
missed. Chehalis has given a guar
antee of a free right of way, and it is
about all secured. The company paid
Mrs. Barrett 1,700 cash to pass
through her unplatted grounds, and
is paying liberally for passing through
adjoining farmlands. Of course the
work they are now doing here is only
to "hold the fort" so that the North
ern Pacific will have to conform, to
their grade. One of the engineers
said yesterday that this would cost
the Northern nearly 20,000, and is
being done in retribution for the lat
ter's obstructive policy with Hunt on
the way to Gray's harbor.
The county commissioners sitting as
a board of equalization, have de
cided to raise the assessor's valuation
on railroad lands in Lewis county,
and to-day sent a telegraphic notice to
Paul Schultze at Tacoma, to show
cause, if there is any, why it should
not be done. Their lands have been
valued at from 1 to 3 per acre.
Some of the lands assessed at 1 are
held for and being sold at from 6 to
8 per acre, and some of their lands
are held as high as 20, or refused for
sale at any price.
A stream of men are constantly
coming and going between town and
the Northern Pacific camp, about four
mile3 out. About 200 men are at work
on the grade. Horses and supplies
como on every freight, and from twenty
to thirty new men go to work every
day. The TJnion Pacific have a camp
and a large force of men about a mile
sonthwesl; of here on the Gates' farm,
on the grade, between hero and Win
lock. Orefjonian, 13.

A permanent water-house occupied
by the aborigines of Copper river is
constructed of poles, slabs and spruce
bark. It3 plan is similar to the na
tive houses in southeastern Alaska,
but is not so substantially built It is
about eighteen feet square and four
feet high. Around the inside
is a platform five feet wide and
three feet hih, which serves for a bed
at night, where all their household
goods arc thrown down promiscuously.
In tho center of the house is an open
fire-place, directly over which is a
largo hole in the roof for the escape of.
smoke. Overhead are poles for smok
ing and drying fish, while inmates
and all present a dirty, smoky, dingy
appearance. They build their houses
without lumber and with no pur
chased tool save an axe. Bawhido
thongs and withes answer the place of,
nails and mortised tenon. "Necessity
is the mother of invention." Most oE
their belongings aro home made.
Their wants are few; their means
scanty indeed.
They havo not come in contact with
the whites very much and they have
not the native ingenuity of the Thlik
nets. They know little of the arts
of living" "Useful things beyond
their pressiug needs are not
thought of, and luxuries of any kind
are uever even dreamed of. Their
clothing is made of skins; they have no
furniture, tho ground or slab floor
answering every purpose or, conven
ience and comfort. Although they
have procured shot guns from traders
in exchange for furs, yet the old-time
bow and arrow is yet in uso. Each

faithful dog, their only domestic ani
mal. However, this is true of all the na
tives of Alaska. None have cows, pigs,
or even chickens. The Copper river
natives do not ornament as much as
tho Thlinkets. The nose and ears aro
usually pierced and are ornamented
with rings. Most of them paint their
faces, but this is about the extent of
their personal decorations.
