lecture tomorrow (Friday) evening will
be free to all, and all who can should
attend. He states that this will be the
best lecture of the course. His subject
will be, "Thumbs Up or Thumbs
Down." This will close his work here.
The Post-Intelligencer of the 15th
has the following little interview with
one of our county's well-known citizens:
'We are going to have a strong Repub
lican gain on the San Juan islands this
year,'r said M. R. Noftsger, one of the
members of the firm of the San Juan
Trading Company at Friday Harbor,
when seen at the Hotel Seattle yester
day. "The sentiment has changed de
cidedly in our community, which,
while always strongly Republican, still
fell off some two years ago, at which
time our Republican gain was only
about 120. This year, however, our
farmers have had a surfeit of fusion,
and we look for a Republican gain
which has been estimated all the way
from 150 to 200. Of course, you under
stand, that compared with our small
voting population this is a large per
centage of gain. Everybody is pros
pering on the islands and all have more
stuff to sell than they have ever had in
the history of the islands. Grain, hay,
oats, hogs, poultry, fruit, everything
was in abundance, and the several
crops larger than those of any preced
ing years, and everybody feels corre
spondingly in a satisfied frame of mind.
The fish pack was a little short on the
island, the run having been a little
light; though the shortage is not very
material, the Island Packing Company
being about 2,000 cases short of last
year's pack."
Two Million* a Year.
When people buy, try, and buy again, it
means they're satisfied. The people of the
United States are now buying Cascareta
Candy Cathartic at the rate of two million
hoxea a year and it will be three million be
fore New Year's. It means merit proved,
that Cascarets are the most delightful bowel
regulator for everybody the year round. All
druggists 10c, 25c, 50c a box, cure guaranteed.

THE ATUN GOLD FIELDS.
Editor Islandkr: — Knowing that
many of your readers will be interested
in a conservative and true account of the
recent gold discoveries in this part of
Alaska, or more accurately speaking,
British Columbia, I submit below a
brief description of the Atlin gold fields
as well as the shortest, most feasable
and cheapest route thereto. Discovery
claim on Pine creek, in the Atlin district,
is just ninety-two miles via. what is
known as the Brooks trail from Skag
way, and is 173 miles via Lake Bonnet.
Skagway is now conceded to be the gate
way to the Klondike. The White Pass
was always the practical route, but now
that the Skagway and White Pass rail
road has been completed and is in opera
tion over the mmmit to the lakes all the
other routes will be abandoned. Hereto
fore all trails have been experimental
and only more or leas successful. All
have been fraught with tribulations and
hardships, but the completion of the
railroad over the summit has done away
with everything but the cost, and that
has been materially lessened—the pres
ent rate being eight cents per hundred
from Seattle to Lake Bennet on outfits,
as against forty-two cents last season.
Gold seekers on arriving at Skagway
now can take the train here in the morn
ing or afternoon—two passenger trains
running on schedule time daily, includ
ing Sunday—and be at the summit lakes
two hours thereafter. Several lines of
steamers make regular trips on the lakes
and upper Yukon river; the trip from
Seattle to Dawson City being made in
about twelve days, the trip having been
made in eight days recently. The trip to
Atlin consumes three days.
The Atlin district, the scene of the
recent rich strikes, is almost due east
from this city, and is about thirty miles
wide by some eighty miles long, as far
as prospected. How much larger the
region is no one knows. It may develop
that it is 150 miles square. The whole
country seems to be gold bearing. The
ground may not prove as rich as the
placers near Dawson but the methods of
mining are far easier, the season longer,
the climate much milder and the district
easy of access, being but three days' walk
from Skagway. At Atlin there is no
moss covering the ground the year round
as at Dawson, consequently the ground
is thawed by the warm sun and placer mm
ing in the district is comparatively easy.
The gravel in the valleys is full of gold,
while the bed rock beneath is composed
of slate and quartz with gold intermixed.
It is beyondjquestion second only to the
Klondike, and when thoroughly pros
pected, as it will be next season, it may
rival that section. Every creek that has
had development work done has turned
out well. Several parties have returned
during the past week with goodly sized
sacks of dust and nuggets, the result of
six weeks' work with crude sluice boxes.
Atlin has not only developed into a
wonderfully rich placer mining camp,
but new excitement is being added by
the discovery of several rich quartz ledges
the quartz being white carrying copper
pyrites, steel galena and free gold. I be
lieve the Atlin diggings offer exception
al opportunities for the poor as well as
the rich, and 1 hope to be among those
who will own valuable claims there next
season. J. C. Cmntoic.

EDWARDS NEWS MOTES.
The recent rains are causing much
anxiety to those of our farmers whose
unthreshed crops are in the stack. Sod
is it to see, near Richardson, the un
stacked and imperfectly stacked crop
of a farmer who is off with his machine
threshing other peoples' grain.
Since the close of the salmon season,
times at Richardson are not so lively.
The population has decreased nearly
half. Mr. McDonald, who for awhile
was partner of Mr. Waage in the store,
after carrying on a private commission
business since the partnership was dis
solved, has gone t>ack to Whatcom.
Unfortunately, Mr. Waage's health
has been so bad that he could not look
after his business as he wished. But
he is once more on his feet and doing
his best to accommodate customers.
