Tiwrs:—In company with several others I took alittle pleasure trip afew days ago, to Steptoe Butte, a mountain some thirty miles Peculiar to the to- south of here. pography of the country in which it is situated the pyramid familiarly known as Steptoe butte overlooks the neighboring country for many miles and affords an attraction for all sight seers that may happen in this section of Washington. The name Steptoe was christened | in honor of the famous soldier, | “Colonel Steptoe,” who so bravely executed the orders of his superiors in the late Indian war. few years ago the lofty peak stood alone without the attention of a prosperous community. In the year 1889 the greater section that em- braces the butte was deeded to Mr. James Davis, who pictured the ad- vantages of this spot and undertook to make it an attractive point for tourists and neighbors. The Butte is 5,596 ft above the sea and 1,700 ft above the surrounding country; it is six miles around the base of the mountain. It is surrounded on all sides by rich farming lands—said to be the richest in the Palouse country—and affords a view for miles around. Mr. Davis has a hotel situated on the very point of Step toe. The building is 80x80, and is arranged inside with every conven ience for the public The lower floor is composed of a hall 60x60, in- cluding a stage and dressing rooms on either side, the eutire hall being surrounded by a commodious gal- lery. Besides this is the kitchen and a private reeeption room of Mr. Davis. The upper floor is occupied by bedrooms and a dining hall, which will accommodate 0 persons On the top of the building is situ. ated a cupola 14x14, which is used as areading room and observatory. Mr. Davis has a telescope stationed in the cupola that is good for a view 150 miles. Many towns are distinct ly visible, viz, Sprague, which is 40 miles to the west; Baldy moun- tain, about 70 miles to the north west; Cheney which is 40 miles northwest and Mica Peak, which is about 50 miles northeast, and many of the Palous towns trom 10 to 30 miles distant. The sights that are viewed through the glass is well worth a trip to the butte. Visitors are at the butte from early spring till late in the fall, and find every comfort necessary. The interior of the hall is beautifully decorated with all the grains, fruits and cereals that are available in this country. All of the samples exhibited, however, are grown in the immediate vicinity of Steptoe. Directly in front of the hotel building Mr. Davis is arrang- ing the grounds ina handsome and fitting manner. The lawns will be terraced into two distinct lots, com- prising 90 ft square each. One will be below the other, having several steps to descend. Ornamental and evergreen trees will be set out at once, and within a very short time Steptoe will present inviting place for pleasure seekers. Stand- ing on Steptoe’s basaltic crown observer finds himself in the midst} of the Palonse paradise, in the only} position from which can be had an advantageous view of the best wheat | growing country of the an universe.

Mr. James S. Davis was born November 16th, 1816, in Sussex | county, England, 35 miles from the) city of London, and was educated in| schools of England. He traveled} over England, Ireland, Scotland, | Wales and France. Atthe age of) 25 Mr. Davis sailed on the American | vessel, Quebec, for the United States aud landed in New York after an outing of about six weeks. Your correspondent found in Mr. Davis a highly intelligent gentleman, who from a wealth of reminiscences of long ego, beguiles his visitors, car- rying them back to that other world of more than half a century ago. I don’t think any of us ever enjoyed} ourselves any better and your cor | |respondent shall always remember | the trip with pleasure. Yours truly, | L. N. Morpney. No mystery about it. When the Shakers offered some time ago to give away a bottle of their Digestive Cordial to any one who mighi call at their New York office, there was a great rush and a great many peo- ple thought they were crazy. Subsequent events prove it to have been a very clever advertising transaction, for although they gave away thousands of bottles, it was in the end profitable; nearly every one that took a free bottle came back for more and paid for it with pleas- ure, saying they had derived better results from its use than from any ether medicine they had ever used. There is nothing so uniformly successful in the treatment of — ach troubles as the Shaker tus Cordial, and what is better than all, it relieves at once. Laxol, the new form of Castor Oil is so palatable that children lick the spoon clean. Missour: Miners Left Out. Ottumwa, Ia., Nov. 21.—The pro- ceedings of the coal miners’ conven- tion here took an unexpected turn to-day and Mine Workers of America, district No. 13, broke away from the national organization and reorganiz- ed the entire State under the name of Iowa Mine Workers’ Protective association, leaving out of the dis- trict the Missouri miners formerly attached. The new organization will have a benevolent fund attach- ment, providing for sick benefit and death benefit and will affiliate with the Mine Workers of America and the American Federation of Labor, but will be distinct. The officers elected are: President, J. W. Rey- nolds, Beacon; vice president, F. Holland, What Cheer; secretary and | treasurer, Julius Frohm, Seymour. | Marvelous Results.
