I DlKES IN SKAGIT COUNTY, WASHING-
] TON, TO PROTECT THE LAND.

\‘v'lii ch is ’l‘remendously
l-lusliels or Oats Raised to the Acre.
I In this great western country, where
[here is so much wild land, where
,nillions of acres of 'soil have never
)‘el't the touch of the ploughman’s
:hare or the keen edge of the wood-
nan’s ax, it does not seem that it
vould be necessary to reclaim land
lrom the sea to obtain acres for cul-
ivation. But that has been done, and
‘n Skagit county, almost in the very
northwestern corner of the state, can
is found scores of the finest ranches
n the world, lying behind dikes built
..::ep out the sea and the overflows
the Skagit river, the largest stream
:hat empties into the sound.
This is the veritable Holland of
Washington. In Skagit county are
:ituated the famous Swinomish flats,
.he Beaver marsh, the Olympic marsh
ind the Samish flats, all surrounded
)y dikes ranging in height from 2 to
l5 feet. There are tide gates along
.he sea shore which act automatically,
ind which drain the land so‘ perfectly
hat crops are raised on land below
'he sea level with safety; And such
erops!
For ages the big river has been
oringing down from the hills the rich-
:st sediment, and there is really no
oottom to the soil. If a farmer in the
east ploughs a little too deep he turns
zp clay or rocks; if the Beaver marsh
'ancher holds his plow handles too
iigh he simply digs up more of the
deb loam that raises every year with—
out fail such crops that the old ranch-
ers of other sections cannot believe
“he stories. One hundred and twenty-
ive bushels of oats to the acre, a ton
1nd 3. half of hops, or five tons of hay,
ire common yields, while all sorts of
pot crops give equally large results.
In order to plow this land, which,
of course, is soft and spongy, the
anchors often put “tuley” shoes on
.heir horses, the shoes consisting of
vide wooden blocks, to prevent the
onimals from sinking into the loam.
There are at present eight diking dis-
.ricts in the county, and nearly every
-anch of any size is in one or another
if these districts. Fully 100 miles of
likes are in use in the county, and
nany of them are used also as roads.
Very picturesque are these embank-
nents, in many places, as they wind
[round through the trees. When the
Skagit is having a freshet, the people
;urn out to watch their dikes, and by
'epairing them. save their lands from
nundation. Sometimes a very high
tide will go over a dike and cover
o number of ranches with salt water.
if the water does not stand too long,
his does no particular damage.
As there is nothing but sand and
)lack loam to construct the dikes of,
10 permanent work has ever been done
2nd cannot be until the river is so im-
)I'OVGCI that it has a reasonably
straight channel to the sea. Five or
fix forks or mouths dischargerthe wat-
zr into the sound, and the delta thus
formed is excellent farming land. If
.he water should be confined to one
:hannel thousands of acres of land
would be reclaimed, and the danger of
overflow reduced to a minimum. By
his improvement a magnificent navi-
gable river, teeming with fish and
lowing through a wealth of timber
ind mineral land, would be opened up
ind would provide employment for
:ountless numbers of people.
The only failure of crops ever
mown there is when the dikes break
md the growing grains are ruined
with water.~—Seattlc Post Intelligencer.
An Indian “'oman aNurso.
During the past five years an at-
.empt has been made to instruct the
.'o=.:.‘.:_:' girls at Cal'lisle Indian School

Lndian girls sent to the hospitals to
but two or three re-
nain in the profession. Several of

:urned to the Indian Territory, while
others have lacked the patience nec-
lssary to success.
One of the most successful profes-
lional nurses in Philadelphia is 'Miss
Kate Grindrocl, a full-blooded Wyan-
iotte Indian, who lived for many years

Credit Money the Real Bloney.
The cost and inconvenience of trans-
porting money from one part of the
:ountry to another was aptly illus-
zrated at Topeka the other day when it
became necessary for the Rock Is-
1and Railroad to send $257,000 to Chi-
:ago. If the money had been sent in
greenbacks or gold the express
:harges would have been $321.50; if in
silver, $577.75; but the railroad peo-
ple rejected all three and made the
transfer with a bank draft at’a cost
if only 2 cents. The credit money is
the real money of the country, and
‘aw's to strengthen it are wiser than
aws in relation to the coinage of
netal.-—Kansas City Journal.

HAWTHORNE GAVE UP EVANGELINE.
Fried to Write a Novel on the Incidents
but Was Unsuccessful,
“Few people know that Hawthorne .
came near publishing ‘Evangeline,’
; which Longfellow finally wrote,” said
a Massachusetts gentleman, the o-hcr
day, “but it is a fact. A few years
ago there died in Salem, Mass, an old
gentleman named Horace Ingersoll,
who was not related to Bob Ingersoll,
but who was a wonderful man in his
way. Years and years ago Horace In-
gersoll heard the story of ‘Evangeline’
from a woman friend of his who had
been spending some time in No no Sco-
tia. One day the old gentleman, who
was a personal friend of both Haw-
thorne and Longfellow, was dining at
Longfellow’s home in Cambridge, and
Hawthorne was there also. After din-
ner Ingersoll told to the two
writers the story of ‘Evangcline,’ and
Hawthorne decided then and there
that he would make a novel of it.
He wrote a few chapters and then
gave it up in despair, because he
found that the subject was too grand
for his prosaic pen. So Ingcrsoll gave
Longfellow permission to use the nar-
rative, and under his poetic touch it
blossomed into one ,of the master»
pieces of literature. I knew Inger-
soll personally and he told me of the
circumstance only a few months be-
fore his death. And. by the way, it is
worthy of mention that lngersoll died
in the house in which Hawthorne
lived for many years.”—Wasbington

OUR NATIONAL TUNE AT GHENT.
How the Air of “Yankee Doodle " Wins
Obtained for the Musical Dirac-our. ‘
After the representatives of Great
Britain and the United States had
nearly concluded their pacific labors
at Ghent, in making the treaty of
peace which ended the war of 1812.
the burghers of the quaint old Dutch
city determined to give an entertain-
ment in honor of the Ministers. They
determined, as a part of their pro-
gramme, to perform the national airs
of the two powers.
The musical director was sent to
call upon the American Ministers and
obtain the music of their national airs.
A consultaton ensued, at which
Bayard and Galatin favored “Hall 00-
lumbia,” while Clay, Russell and
Adams wanted “Yankee Doodle."
The musical director asked if any of
the gentleman had the music. None
of them had it. Then he suggested
that perhaps one of them would sing
or whistle the air.
“I can't." said Mr. Clay.
wliistled or sung a tune in my
perhaps Mr. Bayard can."
"Neither can I.” answered Mr. Bay-
ard. "Perhaps Mr. Russell can.”
Mr. Russell, Mr. Gallatin and Mr.
Adams in turn confessed their lack
of musical ability.
“I have it,” exclaimed Mr. Clay, and
ringing thc hell he summoned his body
servant. “John.” said he, “whistle
'Yankee Doodle’ for this gentleman.”
John did so, the chief musician
noted down the air, and at the enter-
tainment the Ghent Burghers’ Band
played the national air of the United
States with variations—Youths Com-

The Long Journey.
In a certain township not many miles
from Cleveland the good man of a
local household was laid away in the
little churchyard on the hill. After
the funeral the relatives, both near and
distant, returned to the. family home
and the officiating pastor came with
them. There they enjoyed a good din-
ner and afterward gathered in the best
room for social converse.
Naturally their talk turned upon the
serious event of the day, and presently
the good pastor, drawing a deep sigh,
solemnly remarked:
“Well, our departed brother has gone
a long journey.” '
There was a brief silence, and then
a cousin of the deceased, a. fussy little
woman with an intense desire to bear a
share in the conversation, suddenly re—
marked in a tone of profound wis-
dom:

MATE BRAM’S TRIAL.
Second Trial of Alleged lIIurdcrcr of Cap-
tuin :md llIrs. Nash of Herbert Fuller.
Boston, Mass, March 15.——One of the
inrst interesting murder trials ever
held by the United States Court in this
city will begin to-day. The life of Mate
Bram of the barkentine Herbert Ful-
ler, langs in the balance. The crime
the matenis alleged to have committed
is the killing of Captain and Mrs.
Nash and Second Mate August Bram-
berg. on the high seas. The vessel on
which the crime was committed will be
placed in evidence at the trial.
The Herbert Fuller, which sailed
from Boston on July 8, 1896, for R0—
sario, Argentina, arrived at Halifax,
Nova Scotia, on July 21, carrying the
bodies of Captain and Mrs. Nash and
August Bramberg, second mate. Thom-
THOMAS BRAM.
as Bram, first mate of the vessel, was
tried in Boston and found guilty of
having murdered those persons on the
evidence of Lester Honks, a-Harvard
student, and Charles. Brown, a negro
sailor,_ who were on board. The mo—
tive for the crime has remained a mys~
tery.
When the jury returned its verdict
on January 2,
tears and exclaimed:
“If I haye got to die, I thank God
that I shall die an innocent man. I
have met more trouble in this world
than usually falls to the lot of most
men, and if I have to bear this much
in addition I shall do it as an inno-
‘cent man should.”
Evidence on which the mate was
convicted rested on what witnesses
had seen and heard in the cabin of the
barkentine. A motion for a new trial
on alleged new evidence found in ex-
periments made on the vessel regard-
ing the view of the cabin by a. man at
the wheel was denied. An appeal was
taken to the United States Supreme
Court, which ordered a new trial.
NATIVES WANT ANNEXATION.
It; is Favored by Onc-lialf of flu: Into li-
gent Hawaiians.
San Francisco, Ca1., March Lin—Ben
Oluff, Jr., president of the Brigham
Young Academy, at Provo, Utah, has
returned from a visit to the Hawaiian
Islands, where he went at the solicita-
tion of United States Senator Frank
J. Cannon to determine the status of
the annexation sentiment among the}
Hawaiian Islands. He speaks the
language fluently, and has made a.
thorough canvass among the natives
on the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hilo.
He said:
“As a result of my investigation, I
would say that probably one-half of
the intelligent natives of the islands
are pronounced advocates of annexa—
tion. Of the remaining half, I would
say the great majority are, primarily,
in favor of the restoration of the mon-
archy, and secondly, they much prefer
annexation to the United States to a
continuation of the present Govern-
ment."
Military Tournmnent a Success.
New York, March 15.—Under the
management of the Military Athletic
League, the second annual military bi-
cycle and athletic tournament was
opened last night in Madison Square
Garden. From the indications last
night the annual tournament has come
to stay. The tournament last year
was an experiment. It proved its worth
in more ways than one. The present
tournament, modeled on the same
lines, but bringing to the notice of the
public different organizations in both
the National Guard and the regular
army, was a success before it started.
The interest last night was not divid-
ed betweeu the athletic numbers and
the. military features.
The 4,000 persons who attended were
anxious to show just what Uncle Sam’s
cavalry, artillery and infantry could
do. They saw and were pleased. From
a standpoint of military evolutions the
exhibition was the best ever given in
the city. ' '
Much patriotism was shown when
the band played national airs, when
Sixth Cavalry riders gave exhibitions,
and when blank cartridges were fired
from Gatling guns.
Bank for the Klondike.
Ottawa, March 15.—The provisions of
the agreement betyvoen the Govern-
ment and the Bank of Commerce, un-
der which the latter establishes a
branch at Dawson City, have just been
made public. The banking house will
be within the inclosure of the mounted
police. and the officials of the bank
shall travel in company with and un-
der the protection of any detachment
of mounted police which may be en
route. Regarding the shipment of
gold to the coast the Government are.
on request, to provide within Canad :zn
territory, a. police escort therewith, but
this must not be oftener than once in
four months, the amountof the ship-
ment not less than $5,000,000. The (lov—
ernment at the same time docs not
hold itself liable for the safety of the
gold against. robbery.
Coal lIIiners Get an Advance. ,
Chattanooga, March 15.—The Dayton
Coal and Iron Company, at Dayton,
Tenn, has announced an advance of
10 per Cent. in the wages of its miners,
1,100 in number, to take effect April 1.
Other laborers had their wages advan-
ced yesterday from 12 to 15 per cent.
This is the carrying out of the agree-
ment between the operators and min—
ers entered into in January, just after
the strike was settled.

CHALLENGE TO SENATOR MASON.
Spanish Editor 'W’ants to Fight Illnl at
Swords’ Points.
IVashiugton, March 15.—-Senator Ma—
son :‘esterday received the challenge
sent him by the editor of the Spanish
illustrated paper El Cardo.
'.‘ he document is printed and is sign—
ed by the editor, the Marquis dc Alta
Villa. The challenge is to be a com-
bat at swords’ points, and is preceded
by a short column of personal abuse,
in which Mr. Mason is described as “an
ignoble Yankee Senator, who scolds
like a woman, and who has not the
valor to fight like a. man, and who
would take a. slap in the face without
resenting it." "
The American people are referred to
in pigs and
whose flag is the almighty dollar.”
The Senator accepts the challenge in
a. jocose spirit. He says he will have
to see the Marquis before he decides
whether he will accept, but that it
scarcely accords with Spanish modesty
for the challenging party to name the
weapons, as is done in this instance.
" INSURGENTS FIRE ON A TRAIN.

George Barnum, an American, of Sn.-
annah, received a slight flesh wound
The secretary of the Ma-
tanzas Municipality was more severely

The Spanish surgeons on the train
were extremely kind. Mrs. Barnum
was with her husband at the time he
was shot. As soon as the firing began
all the passengers threw themselves
upon the floors of the cars.

Philadelphia, March 15.——Yesterday
for the first time “landsmen” were en-
listed for service in the United States
Navy by the enlisting officers on board
the receiving ship Richmond at the
League Island Navy Yard. _ The rea~
son for this action isthat orders have
been received from \Vashiugton to re-
cruit as rapidly*as possible 200 lands-
men to serve as seamen and coal pass-
ers. Scamen and ordinary seamen are,
of course, still wanted, and the in-
structions from the Navy Department
are that they shall be taken in unlim-
ited number.
Lord Salisbury Has a Relapse.
London, March 15.-Lord Salisbury,
Premier of England, has entirely brok-
en down, and was forced to give up
official duties yesterday. It is hardly
probable that he will return to office.
Arthur Balfour, First Lord of the
Treasury, has assumed the duties of
Foreign Minister ad interim. He will
probably inaugurate a more vigorous
foreign policy, and England will assert
her rights in the East against Russia.
It is impossible to say at present what
position Balfour will take as between
the United States and Spain.

Los Angeles, 08.1., March 15.-—The

A CALIFORNIA LAD’S ELASTIC "TALE.

Wadflngton Cousins.
A little boy from California, who
has been about a good deal, is spend-
ing the holidays with his Washing-
ton cousins. He has enjoyed the sights
of the capital, but he hasn’t permit-
ted himself to be in the slightest de-
gree overawed by anything he has
seen. His cousins took him to the
National Museum one day, and called
his attention to a. great log of petri-
fied wood lying just outside the door.
The little Californian had been a. lit-
tle depressed, but he brightened up
at the sight.
“I’ve seen a. whole tree like that,"
he said.
The Washington cousins maintained
their composure.
“We’ve got a whole forest of trees
like that out “Test,” went on the ‘
young Westerner. Still the Washing-
tonians were not at all impressed.
The California boy drew a long breath.
“We’ve got a whole woods of putre—
fied trees,” he said; “yes, and they's
putrefied birds sitting on ’em, and——
and,” with one last effort to disturb
the calm, self-satisfaction of his com-
panions, “they’re singing putrefled
songs, too.”-—Washington Post,

norscsmtzlm Luck.
What do you think the girls are
wearing now? Finger rings made of
horseshoe nails. They are certainly
not pretty or graceful, but they are
said to bring good luck to the wearer
on certain conditions. To be a genu-
ine charm tne ring must be made
from a. nail taken from a horseshoe
found by the owner herself, and no-
body else. This is taken to the jeweler,
who bends it to fit her little finger and
cuts off the superfluous length. (The
ring is not welded together, and-the
head of the nail stands for the setting.
There’s no way of proving it, but
those who have adopted these orna-
ments say that they bring just as-
much luck as a. horseshoe itself hung
up or over the door with ends up.—

Can I come back home ‘2”
She presently received the following

“Your John ain't here.
somewheres enjoyin’ of his
moon.”——Atlanta Constitution.

a young woman of a salesman in a

“Not much," replied the young man,
rubbing his hands together. “The old

to hustle about to ‘ keep warm.”
