just as popular in them days
as it is now. I re-call they wuz
party of Shelton men went
a
up to Lake Cushman fer hunt-
ing, and just like now-adays,
they had an alibi fer not get-
ting anything.
They claimed thet they wuz a
party of New Yorkers had pre-
the state under various Depart-
men* of Agriculture programs
amount to about $10,320,000. This
• includes forest, conservation, crop
insurance and electrification loan
fund..
Congress appropriated $225 rail-
.lion for the department's farm
program. Amounts granted to
.Washington state will be general,
ly less thm last year's dt to cuts
under budget estimates.
While the state will receive
, i , ,JJ
more titan $2 million over the
alnount recommended by the
t:fouse, the t(Rsl wil be about $1[5
million under the figure proposed
in the budget estimates. Con-
gress trimmed $25 million from
the tota budget estimate.
Among the' amounts budgeted
we re:
Forest Service, includin/_: pro-
tectiou and management, forest
highway construction and rod
development, recommended $2,-'
692,888; final approved, $2,830,-

Loan funds, R{iral Ele,etrifica-
ties Administration, $2 million;
final approved $3 million. Federal
Crop Insurance Corporation, oper-
ating expenses, $2,400; final ap'

loan funds resulted mainly from
a $1,600,000 cut in administrative
funds below the budget estimate.

Recollections from 50 Years Ago
By Late Redafe
WaLI rec'lect thet a feller name of Will Hunter made
good by his name back in 97. Killed a cougar on the Upper
Skokomish. This hunter feller wuz reely a tough customer,
too. Killed thet big cat with a axe.
Seems .the* hunting wuz ceded them up into the mountins,
and eousequently they wuzn't

nuthing left fer them to shoot at.
They came back with some fish
though. Trout. James B. Nes-
bit* and W. M. Metcalf thet wuz,
made the trip.
I wuz down to the grocery store
last week, and some of the prices
brought to mind a story I re-
called from the Journal back in
q) 7.
They wuz a Shelton man name
of Ed Crowell who left town fer
Alaska in the spring of thet year
aud he had the for(sight to carry
lots of food with him.
Wal, the eggs he took brought
him $4 a dozen and butter. $1 a
lb. He also sold lemons fer 50
cents each, and ten sacks of spuds
fer $1,000. Guess times hain't
changed so much after all.
i Yep, mining shore wuz in the
news, them days. I rec'lect they
WtlZ a party of men located a mine
in the Olympic Mts. Which had
ore with gold and copper assayed
at 5100 a ton.
I They wuz reported to be located
between the Duckabush and Ham-
ma Hamma rivers, which is easy
to reach. Couple of the men wuz
named Peter Standall and Henry
Winslow. From Seattle, I reckon.
Alaska wuz the big gold-news
territory, thffugh. Every time a
ship come into the Sound with
miners and gold aboard, they wuz
a flock of stories fluttering like
the Jay-birds in all the news-pa-
pers.
The Portland brung down $160,-
000 in gold and the Cleveland wu)
expected to have at least a million
when it arrived a couple weeks
late*'. A group (f men from
Hoodsport wuz making plans fer
building a steam schooner fer a
trip to Klondike in the spring of
'98.
Boa*builder Robbins and W. W.
Martins wuz instigators. They
planned to sail right up the river
to the gold-fields, carrying plenty
of supplies fer sale and expecting
to use the boat fer freighting on-
the river.
illustrating the extent of the
gold operations up north, they
wuz a brand-new stamp mill set
up tact year which wuz the larg-
est in the world.
The* wuz at Douglasts Island,
near Juneau. Wuz a 300-stamp
mill, and the previous biggest one
wuz at South Africa. A 280-
stamp mill.
Yep, times wuz reely booming
them days. I recall the* the pat-
ent medicine bizness wuz good,
then too. At least they wuz all
advertizing like mad to keep the
customers interested.
They wuz concentrating on
'scrofula the* year -- Scrofula,
thet's a form of consumption. All
claimed they could positively and
completely cure scrofnla. Also
Catarrh, colds, lung and throat
troubles. Ye could get anything
from Clmmberlain's cough rem-
edy to Ely's cream Balm an'd
Ayer's or Hood's sarsaparilla fer
yore' trouble.
