An anonymous correspondent writes
us that a Miss K will be married

the Journal does not care to be taken
in. Guess if you can. It is with us
as with the verdant sportsman, who
aimed to kill if the object was a deer or
to miss it if it should prove to be a
farmer’s heifer. We don’t want to
miss any news.
The Journal has heard from James
Madden, who will be remembered by

Company. James has held a respon
sible position with the St. Paul & Ta

bookkeeper. Seventy-two men are
employed at the camps, and logs are
hauled over a two mile road with 4
logging engines. The camps have
been working steadily, with a daily
output of seventy thousand feet, fur
nishing the main supply for the mill
at Tacoma.

—that is, the days predicted, but the
highest tide fell three inches short of
the highest tide last month, and full
sixteen inches of the highest tides of

Leake’s tide guage on a pile on the
Shelton Southwestern booms. About
eight years ago, there was a run of
big tides in this bay, and the boys tell
about rowing a boat into Mac Sim
mons’ saloon and drinking from the
bar. Those were conveniences for
you,when Mac. wore a pair of stilts,
and didn’t have to carry water to wash
glasses; The high water mark is still
to be seen on the walls of the build
ing.

came very near being a Christmas
present.
The high tides of December have
come and gone, and those who went to
the stores to buy ropes with which to
tie their houses so that they would not
float off can use them for other pur
poses. The tides were no higher, and
hardly as high even as they have been
some previous years in December. Ho
to the weather prophets.
Christmas
also has passed and notwithstanding
the hard times it was remembered in
this region. At the reservation the
services on the Sabbath had reference
to it and on Monday evening there
was a Christmas tree, from under
which old Santa Claus asleep crawled
out when he was awakened by a little
white fairy with wings. The distribu
tation of presents from the tree pre
ceded by exercises by the school—sing
ing and recitation, —and followed by a
report of the Sabbath School. This
had had during the year an average
attendance of fifty-seven the highest
since 1884. Prizes were given to those
children who had gained eighty in a
marking of one hundred in learning
their lessons perfectly. The following

also expecting to celebrate the day.
Lake Cushman, Dec. 54, 1893
Two nights rain and the Lake has
risen six feet. Never before have we
had such a storm at this season, or has
the water risen so rapidly. Wednes
day night it blew a gale from the west
and the wind rushing down the valley
tore the Hotel boat house from its
moorings and landed it on the opposite
side of the lake. For the past week
the lake has been frozen solid except
for a small channel which had to be
broken daily but the rain and wind
have cleaned it all out and while there
is still several inches of snow on the
bottom there is not as much as a week
ago by about six inches. On the 19th
the snow lay fifteen inches deep on
the divide between the north and
south forks and the settlers in the
valley, many of whom had not yet
gotten in their winter supplies began
to fear they might have to spend the
winter in Hoodsport, but it is likely
they are able to get horses across the
trail now.
The Mason County Mining & Devel
opement Co. is building a new camp

Mr. Homan’s cottage is rapidly near

addition to the settlement. A few
deer have been killed here this fall
but the snow of last winter seems to
have killed a great many for they r are
not as numerous as in former years.

pretty and animated scene, especially
to the young folks. The room was
tastily decorated and the tree, a beau

A short musical program was ren
dered, and Santa announced his pres
ence likewise his presents. The tree
contained many glad surprises, and
something good for all. While pri
vate Christmas trees were numerous,
nearly all the parents and children
attended the public tree and enter
tainment, while reflected great credit
upon the workers.

Receiver Sheafe’s Final Report.
C. M. Sheafe, receiver of the Wash
ington Southern railway, now being
operated under the management of the
stockholders and creditors, yesterday
says the P. 1., filed in the superior
court his final report from the date of
his appointment, February, 1, 1893, to
December 16, together with his third
and final account current. The final
report details the actions of the receiv
ei from his appointment and shows
that the road under his management
has been operated with a small profit,
while during tke ten months preceding
it was operated at a loss. The current
cc „ ol i nt shows a balance on hand of
$8,767.94 in notes and cash, although
the receipts fell below the disburse
ments considerably, especially during
the months of September, October and
November. A recapitulation of the
account current is as follows:

.Total sl4 910 0”>
Disbursements, July Ito December 16. 6JM2 12
Balance on baud, cash and notes 18,767 93
The account shows that of the bal
ance on hand $4,414.01 is in cash and
the remainder in notes and accounts
as follows: Mason County Logging
Company’s note, Mason
< ounty Logging Company’s n0te,5461,-
48; Grainger Lumber Company’s note,
$1,542.40; various logging companies’
accounts for October and November,
$136.14. In the final account the re
ceiver asks permission to turn these
notes and accounts over to the railway
company fdr collection after his disr
charge by the court.
In presenting his final account the
receiver states that, counting the
promissory notes he mentions in the
account current as cash, he had recei
ved from all sources up to and includ
ing November 30, $41,951.71, and had
disbursed $32,967.67, as shown by the
general statement appended which is
as follows:
Receipts to November 30, 1893-
Earnings of road, February, $1,210.71;
March $3,373.39; April, $3,143.95; May
$4,221.48, June, $4,039.19; July, $2,150.-
98; August, $1,730.73: September, $399.-
81: October, $296.13; November, $33.32;
total earnings of road during receiver
ship, $20,598.69; other receipts, bank
loan to pay interest, $14,706.25; sale of
logging cars, $2,880; miscellaneous,
$3,766.77; total receipts, $41,951.71.
Expenses up to November 30, 1893
Operating road, February, $1,700.32;
March, $3,091.62; April, $2,333.67: May,
$2,886.32; June, $2,540.68; July, $2,012;
August, $1,549.90; September, $530.82;
October, $454.96. November, $384.91;
total operating expenses, $17,484.56;
insurance, $933; taxes due January 1,
1892, $4,282.29; interest on Northern
Pacific contracts, $5,431; labor, $3,846.-
79; total expenses to November 30, $32,-
967.67.
The receiver here explains that he
has hever been able to operate the
road at his full capacity, but that dur
ing March, April, May, June and July
the demand for logs was good and the
road was opei ated at a profit. By
September 1, however, the demand
had so decreased that between 17.000,-
000 and 20,900,000 feet of logs were ac
cumulated in the bay at the terminus
of the road, and the logging companies
could no longer pay cash for freight.
Since that time he has deemed it best
not to operate the road, which has
been, therefore, practically idle.
The receiver next gives a table
showing the comparative cost of oper
ating the road during the ten months
of the receivership and during the ten
months immediately preceding. The
earnings during the ten months pre
ceding the receivership were, accord
ing to the table, $51,928.30, and the ex
penses of operation $56,171,19, a defi
ciency of $4,242,89; while during the
receivership the earnings were $20,598,
but the expenses only $17,484.50, a net
earning of $3,114.13, unless from it is
deducted $1,484.10 expended by the re
ceiver for legal advice, reducing it to
$1,630.03.
The remainder of the final report is
devoted to a statement of the affairs
of the road at present. An account of
all the litigation the receiver is now
involved in is given; it is shown that
claims have been filed with the re
ceiver aggregating $8,424, none of
which have been paid; the repayment
of money borrowed from the first Na
tional Bank of Seattle by the receiver
to pay labor claims and interest has
been arranged for in the settlement
with the creditors, and other small
matters yet remain to be fixed up.
In conclusion the receiver asks to be
discharged after his report is approved
and to be allowed not less than |3,400
as compensation. He also asks the
court to allow his attorney, H. B.
Slauson, who has attended to all of the
litigation, $1,484 as his just fees.
The Brown’s new Schedule.— The
old reliable steamer Clara Brown will
make a change for the benefit of the
local service, on Jan. Ist, transposftig
her schedule days, and touching at
Olympia. She will arrive at Shelton
on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at
noon and leave at 1 o’clock for Ta
coma, by way of Olympia. The at
ternate days will be given to the trips
between Tacoma and Seattle. She
handles all the Northern Pacific
freight, a privilege which the Willey
boats are now denied, and has been
giving Shelton a first class freight
service, also being a convenience to
passengers. As the Brown is hand
ling considerable Olympia freight, it
is necessary for that boat to touch at
that point, and the change is also
made for that purpose. Patrons
should bear in mind that Monday,
Wednesday and Fridays are her Shel
ton days beginning next Monday.
David Lister is endeavoring to give
Shelton people the best service possi
ble and the officers of the boat will be
found agreeable and accomodating,
and willing to correct any mistakes.
Her rates are the cheapest for local
merchants.
The Mail Contracts. —The local post
office has received notice from the de
partment of the lowest bidders OI V * wo
local mail contracts, as follows: Shel
ton to Satsop, R. G. Smith, Portland,
Ore. for $793 per year; Shelton to
Union City, E. Parker, Kentucky,
$639.99. A number of persons in this
vicinity bid on these*contracts at fig
ures that would barely pay expenses,
but these professional mail contractors
will probably secure the contracts, and
will be around getting some bodv to
carry the mails for nothing. in®
mails cannot be carried on either route
for less than a thousand dollars, and
the carrier earn his salt. This chi® B
of contractors may not be accepted,
as the department never favors them—
but it is probable that they will get
the contracts. As their agents will be
around shortly, the Journal would
advise that no one take subcontracts
for a losing figure, and to examine the
conditions carefully, in I* l6 P® 8 *? 1
laws, a copy of which to be found in
every office. The government will not
be responsible for any amount in ex
cess of the original contract, so it is
well to look out for these fellows.

A good story is told on a Washington woman
who uow makes her home in Colorado. With
evidently no thought as to the curious sound of
the combination if spoken quickly, she called
her oldest child Helen Virginia. Not long ago
upon a visit to this city, she proudly brought her
young daughter iu to see an old frieud. "What
have you called your daughter?” quiered the
friend. “Helen Virginia,” was the complacent
reply. “Ah, and what do vou call here in Colo
rado?” was the unexpected but verv natural re
sponse.—Kate Field’s Washington.'

“There never was a grandma half so good?”
He whispered while beside her chair he stood.
And laid his rosy cheek.
With manner very meek,
A gainst her dearold face in loving mood.
“There never was a nicer grandma born;
I know some little boys must be forlorn.
Because they've none like you.
I wonder what I’d do
Without a grandma’s kisses night and morn!”
“There was never a dearer grandma, there!”
He kissed her, and he smoothed her snow
white hair;
Then fixed her ruffled cap,
And nestled in her lap.
While grandma, smiling, rocked her old arm
chair.
“When I’m a man what things to you I’ll bring:
A horse and carriage and a watch and ring.
All grandma’s are so nice
(Just here he kissed her twice),
And granmas give a good boy everything.
Before his dear old grandma could replv
Thisbov looked up and with a roguish eye,
Then whispered in her ear
That uo one else might hear.
“Say, grandma,-have you any more mince pie?”

The reader of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its stag
es, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that tluy offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure Send for list of testimonials.
