Jnat across the Columbia ltiver,

itailread in eastern Washington, is a
remarkable valley Only a few yearn
since it was given over to ange Brush
and Jack Rabbits. Now it is one of the
■lout fertile and productive valleys in
the world. Irrigation has done it. Vast
sums have been spent upon long lines
of irrigating canals, and large areas are
now planted in small fruits and orchard
patches, in grain fields, and altafa pas
tures.- The yields obtained are so
great that little farms of .0 and 20
sores are about as much as one man
cares for or needs to own. If you
think of finding a new home, look into
this region, where the climate is as
pleasant ns the crops are good.

HUMAN SUFFERING.
' The Fearful Experience of three
Fishermen.
Lust week Friday foienoou L.
G. Fittinger, aged 6t years, Frank
V hi Pelt, aged 35 years, and a
man by the name of Uisting,
aged 56 years, left Buy Port for
a fish, going out on the ice in
Hagiuaw Bay about it mile, each
taking uloug the usual ‘!fish
shanty.” They spent the day in
fishing, and that uiglit, as usual,
slept in the shanties. Saturday
morning they made the awful dis
covery that the ice on which they
were had broken loose from the
ice near the shore aud was float
ing out into the bay. They hasti
ly endeavored to find a place on
the large ice raft which was near
enough to the shore for them to
lund, but to escape was impossi
ble, as they had gone too far out
into the hay. Tliey now
“bunched” their shanties in hopes
that they might, by keeping them
together, use them in some man
ner to reach land.
They continued to drift further
into the hay, and Saturday night
found them but one aud one-half
miles from Little Charity Islands,
the ice they were on reduced
fully three-fourths in size, and
the shanties, which contained
their small supply of provisions,
gone.
They thought, perhaps, that
they might, by walking to a cer
tain portiou of the ice, reach
Point Lookout, hut the wind car
ried them further northeast, aud
this faint hope vanished. They
were now in the channel, and
could soe the lighthouse at Tawas.
They now had hopes of drifting
near enough to Tawas to be able
to make themselves heard on the
land, but the wind shifted, and
they were carried hack to within
' one-balf mile of the northeast
side of Big Chanty Islands.
Thus they drilted Saturday
night, Sunday, and Sunday night,
I the weather constantly growing
colder. Early Monday morning
the ice broke badly, mid tliey
were left on a piece about twenty
J feet square. Costing, who had
became crazed by long suffering,
started to reach land by jumping
I from cake to cake. About three
hours later his despairing cry
for help was heard by Fittidger
and Van Pelt, and he was seen to
, sink amid the ice t<» rise no more.
Before daybreak Fittinger at
tempted to ond his torriblesuffer
-1 ings by stabbing himself with a
knife, but was prevented by Van
Pelt, who had nil along bravely
assisted and encouraged him as
much as possible. The broken
pieces of ice had, during the
night, partially frozen together
aud the two meu resolved to
make a last desperate struggle to
reach land. They commenced to
or iwl ou their hands and knees
in a direction supposedly toward
L’aseville. Fitiinger soon became
exhausted, aud Van Pelt con
eluded to leave him and push on,
Fitiinger encouraging him to do
so. Van Pelt succeeded in get
ting within about a quarter of a
mile the shore, and |>is joy cau be
imagined when he became aware
that two men who were hewing
timber ou the shore, noticed him.
They hurried to Caeeville, se
cured a beat aud help, aud soon
reached Van Pelt, although to
him it seemed almost an age. He
was rescued none too soon, as
the ice he was standing upou was
but about six feet square, and his
weight settled it to the exteu t
that he was standing in almost a
foot of water.
l’ittiugcr was found about a
mile and three-quarters further
ou iu the bay. He was so near
dead that it was with difficulty
that tie could raise himself upou
his elbows to see his approach-'
iug rescuers. The rescuers, after
going as near him as they could '
with the boat, found it necessary !
to send oue of their number;
across a thin portion of ice on a
push sleigh, l’ittinger was turned
j over ou his back and dragged be
j hind the sleigh to the boat, the
! ice not being strong en ugh to
I admit of any one walking across.
In a short time after being rgs-
| cued Van Pelt and Fittinger were
as two dead men. During the
WALKER COUNTY MESSENGER -FEBRUARY 29, 1894
terrible voyage und struggle for
life tliey were nerved to almost
super human efforts, and not un
til beyond all danger of the icy
waters did they full v realize the
extent of their bodily injuries.
They were cut, bruised and fro
zen.
All that medical skill can sug
gest aud kind friends do for them
is being done, and it is tnought
witii careful nursing they will re
cover iu due time, hut their three
days aud their three nights’ ter
rible experience on Sucinaw Bay
will never he recalled to their
memory without a shudder. Fit
tinger bad returned from Bay
City but a short time hefoie leav
ing Bay Port,where he had drawn
$5,000 out of the bans, and this
he lost with his shanty.—Cass

I wish to set myself right be
fore the public and to all who are
concerned in the St. Mary’s Lodge
and Institute, as there has been
some trouble iu regard to the
ownership aud rights of the
property. The deed was made
by me, written in in.y own hand
writing and worded as directed
to be, and done in good faith,and
so received in good faith by the
trustees of Master Masons of Bt.
Mary’s Lodge and their success
ors. The trustees so understood
it. The Institute so understood
it aud it was acted on as such.
All the time of my citizenship
while there a resident of the
county and state. No one of the
trustees ever took any other view
—the Lodge to govern the school
of St. Mary’s Institute—us I ever
heard of. Now it has been a lit
tle ovet twenty-four years since it
has been recognized as such and
in good faith all the while so far
as the trustees know. I can an
swer for myself as the thought
originated in my own breast, and
others, to do something for our
settlement and neighborhood and
being somewhat forward in the
euterprisey it fell on me to sug
gest the place and hence the lo
cation and then and there we as
Master Masons decided to build
the Lodge aud Institute in con
nection,which we did, and every
subscriber to both Lodge and In
stitute subscribed to it with that
understanding, so far as I remem
ber. Os course there has always
been auti-masonry in the world
and I suppose always will be.
lint to the true spirit of the case.
It is a joint huiluing, hut sepa
rate in its uses, but the Masons •
were to control the school as!
trustees, they and their sucoes-!
sors. We all understood it the j
same way aud it has never had j
any other construction put upon j
the rights of the Lodge as they!
were put iu posession of their j
own property, hut not so men
tioned in the wording in the deed
as it appears, but I did it as the
best way at that time as we all
thought,
Now I would say to my Ma
sonic Brethren and all concerned:
M v whole object was and is to do
right in this and all other busi
ness matters of my past life. Say
what I can or should do iu this
matter. I have no means at my !
command so far as footiug up ex
penses is concerned as the prop
erty to the Lodge as well as 11
recollect was a gift to the Lodge,
the landed interest I mean. I
am willing to go auywhere aud
give in evidence the facts above
written and do all iu my power to
bring about a satisfactory settle
ment. 1 hope and trust it has al- j
readv been adjusted before now,
but I felt I couldn't excuse my
self from making this public state
ment for my own defense.

Obituary.
Died near Concord church Feb
ruary Nth, 1894, Mrs. Margaret
Harm, aged 78 years. The |
funeral services were conducted
by Rev. It. T*. Neal on Suuday
evening. Mrs. Harris was among
the first settlers of Walker coun
ty. Her oldest sou, Major, en
listed in the Confederate service
and died iu Atlanta 1862. Her
husband. Charles Harris, went for
his sou, was taken sick on the
road and died shortly after re
turning home, leaving Mrs. Har
ris with three daughters and one
son to care for. Thus she was
overwhelmed with grief aud sor
row. It is presumable that she
went to the source of all good and
proved to Vie equal to the fiery or
deal, for she reared her children
in the “nurture and admonition
of the Lord.” Some of her grand
children entered into her labors
and recently preceded her to glo
ry and to God. She enlisted ma
ny years ago in the Christian war-
ained the Methodist church,
and was one of those unassuming
Christian women, saying more by
actions than words.
After all the children moved off,
she preferred to remain at ber
quiet home, almost alone, where
she successfully fought the battle
of life to the end.
It is the opinion of the writer
that she fought a good fight, fin
ished her course and kept the
faith, ami that she is gone for the
crown, of the righteous and to
join co-laborers, and veterans of
gone-by days. Occasional.
Matrons are Lion-Tamers.
To sum it all up, the matron or
the widow is like a lion tamer—
she knows the boast,man and she
knows how to manage him. She
knows that he likes being made
much of, that he wishes being
thought of first, and that he likes
to think that he is the one who is
loved and not the one who loves.
Utilike the lion tamer, the adept
in ruling man does not have a
hot iron to touch him with when
ever he grows restless or diso
beys, but she has au iron that
enters his soul, and which can
only be described by calling it the
iron of femininity; that is to say,
when flattery does not prevail,
when tyranny is useless, the best
of all weapons is called into ser
vice, and the woman avows her
self the weakest of all humanity,
so that she may gain what she
wishes, for he who believes him
j self strongest is ho who will he
! most lenient to those ho cousid
! ers lack his power.

John L. Bolton was a son of
| Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Bolton, of
Rock Spring, and was about 27
years of age. On Saturday night
January 20th, 1894, he passed out
from amoug the living. Like ev
erything that is mortal that liv
etli he had to die. That mighty
leveler of the human race had
done its work.
John Bolton was a pious, model,
upright, Christian young man. If
he could do you no good he would
do vou no harm. He was faithful
in duty to his parents, his friends,
his church and to his maker. May
he rest iu peace. W. E. M.
