A TERK13LE ACCIDENT.
tiarmon Lode rrn&licd Under a Largo
Hemlock Lop.
A distresaiug accident occurred at
McCormick's logging camp on the
Lewis and Clarke yesterday n little
before noon. Gannon Lode, a Nor
wegian, Mr. JVlcCormick mid hie
brother and L. Gilmorc were working
on the grade below a hemlock log
about twenty-four feet long and three 1
inches in diameter, which waslvingon
a skid log which was peeled. The big
iug got starieu in some way ana came
down the hill like a shot. All but
Lode escaped. The log caught him
and rolled over his lower limbs onto
his abdomen, breaking one of his ribs
and causing a bad rupture.
The log remained on his body fully
five minutes while his companions
were making frantic endeavors to roll
off the terrible weight that was crush
ing out his life. They finally suc
ceeded in releasing him and he soon
regained consciousness. The injured
man was carried out of the woods suf
fering greatly, and at Iugalls' place
some quilts were procured, and lying
on them he was brought to this city
and taken to the hospital, where sur
gical aid made the poor fellow as com
fortable as possible. It is thought ho
will recover.
A Yuuiu and Frightened Eqnotriau.
Little Marky "Wise, around ou Sec
ond street, probably knows far more
about the juvenile department ot his
father's store than he does about
equestrianship, but last evening he
took on a prurient desire to ride a
saddle horse that happened along.
Marky was granted the privilege and
mounted. All the other little boys
around there commenced guying the
newly fledged horseman and clucked
and ''shooed" the horse till it moved
off into a comfortable gallop. Marky s
countenance then begun to show
signs of uneasiness. Then he looked
wild; then he squealed; then
he let go of the bridle
with one hand and grabbed
the pommel of the saddle; then ag.u'n i
he let go with both hands and grabbed
for the horse s mane; and finally when
the clever steed rounded up in front of
the store, and Marky's papa and his
big brother and another young man
surrounded him and took him from
the saddle, Marky hardly knew which
one of tho boys he was. A great
crowd had gathered around there, at
tracted by tho performance, and when
they all set up a laugh, Marky threw
his arms about defiantly and declared
that ho " had rode faster horses than
that, long agof But ho was mis
taken. JTaude Granger in ' Inherited.
In her new play, "Inherited,' pre
sented for the first time in this city to
a large and fashionable audience at
the Wheeler last night, says Capt.
Robinson Locke in the Toledo Blade,
(Nasby's paper) Maude Granger has
the best emotional part she has ever
attempted, and she plays it most ar
tistically. Whether or not tho emo
tional is just what the theater going
public long for most just now is a
question. But there is no question
that for those who do want their
sympathies swayed as a reed in the
breeze, Miss Granger's Helen Car
rulhers is the one piece of acting that
will do it most effectually. Mind you,
this does not mean that there is mad
raving and tearing of passion to tat
ters. Not at all. Maude Granger is
too finished an actress for anything or
t'dat sort. She appeals to" you, not
only with the text, but with look, ges
ture, her own superb presence, and
above all, with thai subtle bond of
sympathy which she so artistically
compels her audience to acknowledge
and appreciate. In her latest role
Miss Granger shows more careful fin
ish than ever before. While sho is a
bold, free colorist, she finishes her
matchless delineation of her complex
character with those minute details
which, loo often overlooked, arc, after
all, the chiefest charm of tho finished
whole. You admire the work ot its
entirety for the perfection of its every
part. Miss Granger's engagement at
the opera house on Monday evening is
a much-lalked-of event. Tho sale

will be a rush, and it would bo advisa
ble to be on hand early.

Immensely aioreSIischlef than is Gen

Dr. Kins, tho eminent medical vrriter, la
a learned disquisition on our national com
plaint, constipation, snys:
The great quantity of cathartic plus, eta,
vliicji aro taken by tho people ot this coun
try ore productive of immensely more mls
c'uiefthau is generally suspected. True, the
physic unloads tho bowels, but Its action
lands to diminish tho toue of tho intestines;
so hftt, instead of removing costivcncss, it
azsravates it, leaving tbo bowels in a moro
ti.rpld condition.
Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparllla was designed
to fill just such a contingency as the doctor's
arrisument anticipates, viz.: instead of be
lnt; a powerful mineral purgative, it is a
mild vegetable laxative, that, owing to Its
solvent and gentle stimulating properties, is
bo certain a relief la constipation that It has
bejjii si veil away to hundreds, not to bo paid
for unless It was of pcsltlvo benefit It re
places constipation almost immediately

The Uacc Problem in Al.iK:t.
No antagonism yet exists between
the natives and white laborers in tho
same kind of employment, under the
same employer. The government
has never spent anything for their
support, and need never to do so, if
proper and intelligent interest is taken
m educating them with rcfereuco to
their environments and the only indus
tries that aro capable of development
iu Alaska. The topography of the
country makes it improbablo that
Alaska's resources can bo developed
and made valuablo iu any other way
than by the massing of capital
through tho agencies of corporations.
There will be few opportunities for
tho exorcise of tlio ordinary mechan
ical trade:!, The labor, therefore,
ot the great mass of the natives,
! will naturallv come under the control
of those corporate enterprises,and if the
territory is acorded self-government,
the natives greatly outnumbering the
winles, will liecome a perplexing ele
ment in every political contingency.
They aro unlike the negroes ot the
south. They have never been a ser
vile race, nor have they been at war
with the whites for a century, and
then brought into subjection after de
feat, and placed on reservations.
They heve nono of that sentiment
which the Indian bureau finds sp dif
ficult to overcome in the case of the
other native races of North America.
They realize that everything is chang
ing about them, and aro anxious to
pattern after tho whiter in better
dwellings, moro comfortable clothing,
aud a greater diversity of food, but
they fail to realize yet tho importance
of "education. The adults aro serions
obstacles to the education ot the
children; and no radical change
is possible until the .at
tendance at the government
schools is compulsory. It is not
enough to provide schools and teach
ers at tho public expense, but con
gres3 must go further, and authorize
tho employment of Indian policemen
at every villo to compel the attend
ance of the children. Many of the
native schools have an enrollment of
sixty pupils, with an average daily at
tendance of ton. This is duoto tlio
total lack o means of enforcing at
tendance. Until the system is changed
at least two-thirds of tho annual ap
propriation for education in Alaska
will be wanted; and tho raco problem
presented in tho subject ot their edu
cation and possible participation in
tho political affairs ot tho country is
ot too serious a character to bo thus
ignored by those who aro now respon
sible for their futuro development

.1 LETTER 1'EOir G. K. GRIMES
GuniEs' Hotfx, )
Seaside, Oe., Aug. 21. J"
Editor Astekiax:
Believing that you full well realize
the fact that there is always two sides
to every question, I humbly ask of
you the privilege of replying to some
of the very serions reflections that
were cast on me in an article pub
lished in your paper of tho 17th.
I cannot believe that a person fully
understanding my situation would so
wilfully misrepresent me and can
only account for your correspondent's
action on the grounds that he was
misinformed as to the correct status
of tho case.
Over nineteen years ago I located
on this place. It was a dismal and
dreary locality and its almost utter iso
lation front the outside world rendered
it anything but a pleasant place to
spend an existence, but firm in the
belief that it would some day become
a popular summer resort, I with mv
son worked and waited. We bought tho
beach in front of the original claim
and as "fast as our finances allowed
made improvements on the place. I
will admit it was not a labor of love
on our part. We realized that as your
correspondent truthfully says "there
is a charm in this placo from the ear
liest streak of dawn to the twilight
hour," and we also knew that there
would be plenty of appreciative people
come here in the summer who would
be willing to pay for the privilege of
enjoying the pleasures so aptly por
trayed by your correspondent The
time for our realizing on our invest
ment ot nineteen years hard work has
come and the stipend exacted for the
use of our private property including
tho beach, road, bridge, etc, is as low
as it Aveil can be vithout wt give tho
freedom ot the premises to everyone
who choses to come here.
In regard to tho bridge across the
Necanicum wo built it for our own
private use, and for the conveniences
ot our guests aud those who pay for
the privileges of our grounds and
beach. The privilego of using our
property and premises is either worth
something or nothing. If thero is a
value attached to it, we think wc are
entitled to it; if thero is not, then our
occupation is gone, our land can not
be cultivated and our means
of a livelihood is taken from us, and
the men who came hero long after Ave
did aud started saloons and hotels, eta,
across tho creek can furnish the at
tractions ot our private property to
their guests at our expense. Even
day in tho week the railroad brings
scores ot visitors, aud on Sundays
hundreds, who stroll through our pri
vate grounds, bathe on tho beach,
bought and paid for by us and taxed
to us. I do not claim to lie a public
benefactor. I gavo 15,000 to bring
the railroad down hero to enable peo
plo to reach the beach, but I gave the
money merely as an investment, think
ing it would be more convenient for
my guests.
It was for their convenience that I
temporarily stopped reckless drivers
from rnshing over the bridge, cntting
up the road in front of the hotel, and
throwing a cloud of dust over every
thing. AVo will continue to protect our
gncsts from tho rabble who are alwavs
on tho lookout for any pleasures that
aro free, and m the future as in the
past will have no use for trespassers,
who arc willing enough to enjoy the
charms ot the place, bnt do not wish to
contribute anything toward keeping it
up. Trusting that-yon -will grant mo
mi opportunity to give my sido of the
question to the public,
1 am, respectfully yours,
O. K. Gimirs.
