of getting a lot of beayer sKins for

pia yesterday and left for Union City
on the stage. His case against Judge
Rurke does not come up for hearing
until a week from Monday.
The third quarterly meeting for the
M. F, Church at Shelton will be held
on next Sunday. Rev. Mr. Curl of
Dakota will take the place of Dr.
Moore and preach on the Sabbath.
B. S. Barger started out to Bing
man’s on the Satsop Tuesday, but the
snow kept getting deeper as he went
west, until it was about two feet out
on the ‘ grade,” and Barger turned
back, getting home nearly “fagged
out.”
Vincent Finch, of Hoodsport, is
now laid up with a broken leg. While
hauling piles back of Hoodsport last
week, one end of a long stick swung
around and caught him before he
escape. Dr. Kennicott, of Union City
reduced the fracture.
Rev. S. W. Beaven will conduct the
services in the Baptist Church next
Sunday. The tank for baptism has

attendance promises to be large at the
services.
The W. C. T. U. held a meeting in
the Church, Tuesday afternoon, to dis
cuss various matters, and meet the
new friends of the church. They are
also considering a plan of trying to
open another reading room. This
should have been done before the win
ter season, but the expense of keeping
a reading room is quite considerable,
to the Union.
George Wamsley, returned from his
trip to Oregon last weeK, and reports
finding what he desired, a 5-acre tract
near a town that could be purchased
cheap. He expects to move his family
shortly, to Monmouth, Oregon, which
place Mr. Monblo exchanged for
Shelton, last summer. We regret very
much to see the family leave, and only
hope they will be contented .in their
new home, and find health, school
facilities and other features equal to
Shelton.
R. D. Shutt, farmer at the Skoko
mish reservation, a Michigan man,
was in town Monday and made this
office a pleasant call. His trip was to
secure coffin fixtures, a little Indian
girl, Lydia Williams, whose parents
liye on Squaxon Island, having died at
the school. This is said to be the
second death occuring in the Indian
school for nearly 20 years, and the at
tendance is generally quite large,
being 5o at this time. The fixtures
arrived on the Willie that evening,
and Mr. Shutt had a cold night’s ride
through the snow in prospect.
Mrs. Cal. Saegar, Allie and the baby
returned from their visit to Eastern
relatives Wednesday ,after making the
rounds of several states. The party
was very glad to get home, and
were received by the rest of the
family in the same spirit. Mrs. Sae
ger reports the weather very hard on
them, and that she saw nothing that
she would prefer to their fine farm in
Mason County. Times, while very
hard on the farmers and people where
ever they went, were especially so in
Indiana, and many questions were
asked them about Washington.
Local News.
Washington’s Birthday yesterday’.
Moonlight bright as day—full moon,
crisp air and snow.
News is rather scarce these days,
hard to gather enough to “fill up.’’
Warrants bought and money loaned
on good farm property, at the State
Bank of Shelton.
Work on the new road was stopped
by snow, but another day will make it
good for travel.
The W. S. No. 1, was out on the line
Wednesday’, hauling supplies and
clearing the track.
The mail carriers report plenty of
snow; and the Satsop farmers are
snowed in with about 21 inches.
Word was received yesterday by
Prof. Marcus Knight of the death of
his mother in Eaton Rapids, Mich.
Steps have been taken to enjoin the
future illegal printing of road notices,
and stop the attempted steal of S3 each
from the County treasury.
The Epworth League had a lively’
meeting Monday and resolved here
after to discontinue the “socials” and
hold regular literary’ meetings in the
Church.
An almanac, which successfully’ pre
dicted the snow storm for the 16th,
17 and 18th, also called for “Chinook”
wind on the 19th. We are still patient
ly looking for the Chinook.
Richardson has left the Central
Hotel, as reported in the Journal last
week. We were in error, however, in
stating- that a bale of hay fell on
Fredericks—Dan fell on the hay.
State Fish Commissioner Crawford’s
term of office will expire about the
Ist of March. Besides Mr. Crawford,
Dave Hume, of Tacoma, Judge Kala
han, of Kalama, and Judge Swan, of
Townsend, are candidates for the
position.
Dr. Hickerson’s sermons about Solo
mon’s temple attracted a full house at
both services. The sermons were
especially interesting and instructive
to the Masonic fraternity, who were
out in force. The subject was ably
handled, and replete with history in
detail.
Washington’s Birthday was proper
ly celebrated by appropriate exercises
and declamations, in the public school
yesterday afternoon. A number of
patrons of the school were present to
appreciate the patriotic efforts of the
children.
The Puget Mill Co. of Port Gamble,
has brought suit, in U. S. Court,
against H. G. Dewey, one of the lar
gest loggers on the Sound, and owner
of considerable property in King,
Whatcom, and Kitsap counties, for
$32,000, on a logging account.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the
decision of the Superior Court in the
case of Tacoma Grocery Co. vs M. H.
Draham, and Mark is now secure in
the possession, as this settles the long
drawn case. A decision of the famous
loggers lien case may be expected any
day.
The Steamer Willie failed to make
its noonday trip Monday, remaining
in Olympia until 5 o’clock. This was
on account of the snow storm, -which
was blinding at times; hence no mail
was out until Tuesday morning. The
Clara Brown also failed to make her
Monday trip.
It began snowing in earnest last
Thursday, and continued at intervals
until Monday night, making a total of
nearly a foot of hard snowr. The
thermometer was down to 16 degrees
above zero. Had the ground been
frozen, it would of been just right for
sleighing, but as it was, a few r parties
were out in the evenings.
We are requested to’announce that
Mike Jones, having left the bed and
board of Dan. McCrimmon, without
much provocation, Dan will no longer
be responsible for Mike’s actions, and
warns all parties to that effect. Mike
says the bed and board were so tough
he had to leave—and besides he was
going up to. Williamson’s camp.
• Some fiend lost to decency or hu
manity, who evidently has some
grudge against Joe Gale, wreaked
his vengence on a dumb animal. Joe
found one of his cows, one da}* last
week, with its tongue cut-out, and it
had to be shot. A strong effort is be
ing made to find out who did the cruel
act; and it will be made interesting
for him.
The steamer Wasco, a propeller
about as large as the Aberdeen, was
recently* sold at marshal’s sale for
SBSO, Her purchaser will expend
$5,000 on her and probably put her on
the Seattle-Port Orchard route. This
boat is quite fast and would make a
fine passenger boat for the Shelton
route. She ran on the Seattle-What
com inside route last year, maKing
the trip in daylight.
Judge Irwin recently heard an in
teresting case at Montesano, for dam
ages against the City, for death of
horse. While driving in the streets,
the horse stepped on a stick, one end
of which flew up and penetrated the
animal’s body. The’ amount sued for
was S2OO, and judgment rendered for
$1 and costs. The city will appeal the
case. The questions involved are
novel and have never been passed
upon by the higher court.
The Journal has twice heretofore
published, for the benefit of farmers
and others who desire to work out
their road tox, the law specifying how
they must proceed in order to be al
lowed to do so. Every one who de
sires to perform labor in his district,
must notify the road supervisor in
writing before the 15th day of March
that he desires to work out this tax.
Dan Myers is Supervisor of the Shel
ton district, but those within the town
limits can not work out this tax, unless
the Council furnishes receipts for the
worK performed on the cemetery road.
Think of Others. —If some of the
single young men about town will
gather up their cast-off underclothing,
or suits, and give them to the Ladies
Aid Society', or leave them at this of
fice for the Society’, they can be re
modeled into very comfortable clothing
for the children of several needy fami
lies about town. While none of these
children are suffering, still they can
be made more comfortable by r the gar
ments, which the deft fingers of the
Ladies Aid Society can devjse from
y’our old under-garments, slightly
worn from sedentary habits. No one,
except from experience, knowsovhat it
is keep a large family of youngsters
in clothes and shoes, and few will re
fuse material to work into comforta
rial clothing fur their children.
The Indemnity Land.— Several of
the settlers in Mason County are ar
ranging to organize a branch of the
settler’s league of Chehalis County’,
which is working to secure a settle
ment of the vexed indemnity land
question. If the Northern Pacific is
entitled to the land embraced in this
big slice of the County’, they should
pay’ taxes for it, if not, the settlers on
these lands want to secure title. As
the Northern Pacific has sold to set
tlers vast tracts of these lands the
question is a great big one, affecting
the prosperity’ of many settlers in
Southwestern Washington. At a meet
ing in the Day school house last week,
about a dozen settlers expressed the
desire to join the League.
Sheafe’s Compensation. —ln set
tling final account of C. M. Sheafe, re
ceiver of the Washington Southern
Railway Company, Wednesday, Judge
Humes did not cut down the amount
claimed by the receiver as compensa
tion, nor was the receiver compelled
to sue for the money due him. In his
final account Mr. Sheafe asked for
not less than $3,400, but did not fix the
exact amount, and Judge Humes de
cided that his services were reasonably
worth $3,500, SIOO more than be asked.
The amount allowed to the receiver
for attorney’s fees, however, was re
duced slightl}', the receiver asking for
$2,500 and the court allowing $2,400. —
P.-I.
Our Cranberries. —J. O’Brien
Scobey, editor of the Olympian-Tri
bune, represented this end -of the
Sound at the convention of fruit
growers in Spokane last week. The
Review says he had in tow an interest
ing exhibit of apples, prunes, and a
fine display of cranberries,’‘grown”,
Mr. Scobey said proudly, ‘‘in the bogs
of Thurston County.” The cranber
ries were choice and the only ones
shown, but the Journal, will bet dol
lars to doughnuts, they were grown
on the bogs of Mason County, at
Oyster bay, just for sake of argu
ment.
Heireoom Parties. —This latest of
the new things in social parties, is
now the rage. At an heirloom party,*
each guest is expected to bring an
heirloom of the family, and give a
short account of the manner in which
it came into their possession, as well
as anything else of interest in connec
tion. Fvery home has its momentoes
or relics of departed ancestors, and
many of them furnish an interesting
story.
Money Eases up. —The financial
situation in the East is apparently
easing up, and although money for in
vestment is not as plentiful as of old,
several eastern Correspondents of the
State Bank of Shelton, have made re
quests for a few good farm niortgages,
and there is a demand for warrants of
school districts, etc. Those desiring
loans should call at the Bank at once.
Elk Come Down.— Deep snow in
the Olympic mountains drove a band
of seventeen elk down into the Doce
wallops valley, Hood canal, where
eight head were killed last Saturday.
The band then crossed over a range
of hills to' Quilccne valley. Another
party of hunters started in pursuit of
the game yesterday.
W. C. T. U. Lecture. —Mrs. Della
H. Cox, national lecturer, will be here
in the near future to give some lec
tures. She is a lecturer of rare
ability. You can prepare for a great
treat and be sure you will not be dis
appointed. Pres. Supt.
A curious accident happened to a
Tacoma logger the other day, who
fell into a cedar log split and it closed
upon him, almost crushing him to
death before he was discovered.

Correspondence and County Notes
Hoods Canal, Feb. 20,1894.
V. Finch, of Hoodsport, met with a
sad accident a week ago last Saturday.
While working in Burt’s logging camp
he unfortunately got his leg broke,
just below the knee; it is feared that
one crack reached the knee joint, and
will probably leave his leg somewhat
stiff.
A. R. Burt sent off a boom of piles
to Port Gamble about three weeks ago
and has nearly finished another of
piles and spars for the Hadlock com
pany, It is fortunate for Hoodsport
that he was there, as there would be
much less money in that place, were
he not logging, than there is now.
W. McMannis and family left Union
Union City last Friday for Kamilchie.
A good family gone, to the regret of
those remaining.
Miss Todd, of Nebraska, whose
brothers are on the Shorter place, has
been engaged to teach three months
in the Webb district.
We are sorry to that John Palm is
lying at the Occidental, at Union City,
quite low. He has been a sufferer for
several ) r ears.
We were glad to meet L. L. Hunter
of Shelton, at Union City last week.
He formerly lived there, and Union
City would be fortunate were he to re
turn.
Died at the reservation school, Feb
ruary 19, Lydia Williams, of Squaxon
Island, age 8 years. Funeral services
were held at the agency today, after
which the body was taken to Squaxon
for burial.
After a varied week of snow, rain,
freezing-, and thawing-, sunshine and
clouds, this week began with a young
blizzard on Sunday night, with a
cold north wind and snow. The snow
fell yesterday and last night to the
depth of from six to ten inches, owing
to the locality as it has drifted every
where. I asked one of the boys how
deep it was on a level, and the reply
was “I do not know. It is hard work
to find a level.”
A wild-tame ox gave the boys at the
Skokomish Agency plenty of fun last
Thursday and Friday, A stranger to
the place; his first appearance was
know by meeting the Industrial teach
er, who supposed he was decent, at
least, but the animal lowered his head
and make a rush forward, giving Mr.
Shutt just time to climb a stump near
by. He then raced around the street,
where there were plenty of children,
but fortunately did not notice them,
but went through gates and over
fences, until he reached the meadow.
Two men came for him, who said he
belonged to John Graham’s camp, and
was very gentle, when in yoke, but
that he had broken away a few days
before, captured, and broke awav
again. They attempted to drive him
away, but he refused to go; then, bor
rowing two ropes, they lassooed him,
put a ring in his nose and attempted
to lead him, while one held him back,
so that he could not hook the leader,
this also proved fruitless, and they
gave up, returning to camp, and de
claring next day they would bring the
whole crew. But the following day,
with three men, terminated in the
same result. They then borrowed a
horse, anp after some effort drove him
across the slough, when we saw him
no more. He seems to have human
nature, like some persons, a very good
one when at home, or in certain com
pany, and so bad a one when away
from home. S.
The Reservation School.
The government is relieved of much
of its burden, in supporting the Sko
komish Reservation by the indus
try of the Indians themselves. The
children are being instructed in the
homely arts as well as the “three
R’s.” Attached to the school is about
twenty acres of cultivated land, which
is entirely cared for by the boys under
the directions of R. D. Shutt, the in
dustrial teacher. Until 8 o’clock in
the morning the boys work on the land
and the girls at household duties,
when they attend the school, which is
conducted much as other schools are.
In the forenoon the girls are in charge
of the matron and instructed in sew
iug, needle work and other duties that
make them useful, and all the sewing
and mending of the scholars is done.
The boys spend the afternoon in
such outside work as the weather and
season permits. Uast year the boys
raised about 800 bushels of potatoes,
600 of rutabagas and mangle wurzels,
50 of carrots, and all sorts of vegeta
bles. Twenty pound cabbages were
common in their product. From less
than a quarter-acre, 125 bushels of
potatoes were dug, the largest weigh
ing 4 pounds and ten ounces. Be
sides this, over sixty tons of hay were
gathered and probably 600 bushel of
apples garnered from the reservation
orchard. This orchard is quite old,
and somewhat run down. It was
planted by John T. Knox, then Indian
agent, nearly 40 years ago. The gov
ernment has a good set of employees
on the reservation, and the work is
well conducted. The school, while
not self-supporting, costs the govern
ment less than any on the coast, and
the children arc as progressive and
well instructed as those of any gen
eral training school of “white child
ren.’’
