In addressing a republican
meeting at Bremerton recently
Mayor Gill was rather pessi
mistic over the good that was
being accomplished for the
northwest by the Wilson ad
ministration. In his speech he
predicted that every ton of
steel to be used in the con
struction of the government
railroads in Alaska would be
shipped from the east over the
Canadian Pacific railroad to
Prince Rupert, and taken from
there by steamers. He said
that not one ton would go
through American ports.
For three or four days past
there have been several con
ferences relative to a complaint
made 'by an agent of the fish
eries bureau concerning viol
ation of Ihe fisheries law by
men catching fish for the Orca
cannery. Deputy District Attor
ney Burbaker went to Cordova
from Valdez to represent the
government. When it became
apparent that the case could
not be tried before the district
court until fall, Superintend
ent Paterson decided that he
would rather pay a fine of $500
which the U. S. commissioner
imposed. The charge was
that the men were fishing
nearer the mouth of a creek
than the law permits.
+ + *
The Ruby Record-Citizen
says that at no time since the
Pay was struck on Long
creek has the hoisting of pay
dirt proceeded so rapidly as at
present. Nearly every plant is
being worked to its full cap
acity, and the operators gener
ally have an air of satisfaction
that can be found only with
those who know for certain
that they have the world by the
tail with a down hill pull.

The restlessness of tile Hut dweller
Is a national mystery Why does he

find another llut uiul to Insert his fam

piness, hut he will abandon the flat
again next year and flit on in a mov
ing van as large as a small cliapel.
We falter, appalled at the task of dis
covering the flat dweller's purpose un
til we consider the strangely similar
restlessness of the sick innn who lies
on one side until he can't stand It any
longer and then, with the asistance of
his devoted family, is turned over on
the other side. The change is a de
lightful relief, although a few hours
before he couldn’t endure to lie on
that side a minute longer. — George

The Sewing Machine.
The invention of the sewing machine
is one of the most interesting evolu
tionary romances in the history of hu
man prograss. ?tonc, Henderson and
Grecnougb lad experimented exten
sively with the double pincer Idea,
one to S; 17,e the needle below and one
above Heilmann used a double point
ed recdle, with the eye in the center,
and Thimmonler and Ferrand had in
dented a chain stitch machine. In
1834 Walter Hunt originated the ex
tension arm idea with a needle similar
to the one now in general use. hut be
fore he applied for his patent in 1854
he had been forestalled by Elias Howe,
who will always he known us the in
ventor of the sewing machine. If Hunt
had not been so great a laggard he
might have won fame as an Inventor,
but Howe is entitled to all the credit
that has been given him. lake all
great inventions, however, the sewing
machine was the product of many
minds.

Motor Driving In Germany.
Tt is an nHtoulshing fact that a blind
man may drive a motorcar in the Unit
ed Kingdom. Any one who has a driv
ing license, which can be obtained on
the puyment of 5 shillings without any
test of qualification, is entitled to drive
a car whether he is able to do so or
not.
j The German method is in strong con
trast to that of England. If a German
wishes to drive a motorcar he must
first take out a one mouth's tuition li
cense, which permits him to learn to
drive. At the end of the month he is
taken into the heart of a large city
nnd, with an olflcial by his side, is
made to drive in and out of the traf
fic.
One little slip, a slight hesitation in
slowing up, and back be Is put for an
other month of tuition. There are
many cases in which even three
months’ tuition is insisted on, and
there are others iu which licenses are
refused altogether. The result of this
is that the accident percentage in Ber
lin is only half that of London.—Man
chester News.
Beginning Early.
AVitb the following story Margnret’s
father supports his opinion that adroit
ness is congenital in women:
One Saturday Margaret, aged four,
was in deep disgrace. Four times
since 2 o’clock she had run away to
visit Mrs. Gilbert, ber favorite neigh
bor, and was now paying for her
crimes by detention in the bouse.
At 5 ber father, returned and sat on
the porch reading bis evening paper.
To him in a few minutes Margaret
sauntered out, ber mind intent on car
rying out ber plans, and shortly sug
gested :
“Daddy, let’s play you are the baby,
and I am the mother.”
Daddy agreed on condition that It
must be a very little baby and one
that would not be expected to move.
Thereupon Margaret, after a silence
In which one could hear her brain cur
rents crackle, said. “Now, honey, you
be a good little baby and don’t run
away, while mother for a little while
goes over to Mrs. Gilbert’s.”—New
York Tribune.
At Outs With Webster,
Professor X., one of the old school,
always objected to the pronunciation
of “wound” as though it were spelled
“woond.” One day he stopped a stu
dent iu the middle of a reading with,
“How do you pronounce that word,
sir?”
“Woond,” replied the student.
The professor gave him a sharp look
and said,- "I have never foond any
groond for giving it that soond, sir.”—
