PORT
TOWNSEND,
May

An
octopus
bearing
in
its
tentacles
the
body
of
a
member
of
the
crew
of
the
tug
Warren
yesterday
yielded
the
human
prize
after
an
hour's
battle
fifty
feet
under
water
with
A,
E.
Hook,
a
diver,
who
related
the
story
on.
his
arrival
here
with
the
body.
The
diver
said
he
was
repairing
a
fish
trap
when
he
sighted
the
devil
fish
making
its
way
along
the
bottom
of
the
sound
embracing
the
body.
Seizing
the
pike
pole
he
thrust
and
lunged
at
the
octopus
which
warded
off
the
blows
by
flinging
its
arms
In
the
water
which'
became
cloudy.
r
Centering
his
attack
on
the
middle
portion
of
his
adversary,
he
cut
the
creature
to
pieces
before
it
collapsed
on
the
sea
bed.
The
diver
then
pried
loose
the
tentacles
from
the
body
which
was
partly
identified
when
he
brought
it
to
the
surface
as
that
of
II.
Healey,
the
cook
on
the
Warren.
It
is
supposed
that
the
site
of
the
sinking
of
the
Warren
was
a
short
distance
from
the
scene
where
Hook
recovered
the
body.

CANADA'S
THREE
SCORE
YEARS
OF
NATIONHOOD.
The
production
of
foodstuffs
must
always
remain
Canada's
basic
industry.
This
is
ensured
by
her
very
immensity,
the
fertility
of
her
soil,
and
the
bounty
of
Nature
which
decrees
the
variations
of
frost
and
snow,
sunshine
and
rain
ne
Msarv
for
the
growth
of
fruit,
grain
and
vegetables
unrivalled
the
world
over.
In
the
item
of
wheat
alone
the
year
of
Confederation
saw
a
crop
of
10,o2a,873
bushels
for
the
entire
territory
now
Known
as
the
Dominion
of
Canada;
last
year
the
total
production
of
wheat
was
406,269,000
busht'lsl
In
the
last
CO
years
the
development
of
machinery
ha.s
maue
farm
work
much
less
laborious.
In
18C7
cutting
of
grain
by
machinery
was
comparatively
new,
and
the
machines
""
then
in
use
were
crude
and
unwieldy.
In
that
year
a
Canadian
company
produced
the
hand-rake
reaper,
shown
in
Mr.
Jeffery's
sketch,
which
was
far
superior
to
any
manufactured
before.
On
many
a
farm
of
that
day
the
entire
grain
crop
wa
cut
by
the
old-fashioned
cradle.
An
expert
cradler,
followed
by
a
man
with
a
wooden
rake,
who
raked
the
windrows
into
nheave.s
and
bound
them
with
a
wisp
of
straw,
could
harvest
from
three
to
four
acres
a
day.
Nowadays
a
power-driven
reaper-thresher
which
cuts
a
15-foot
swath
and
carries
a
crew
of
two
men,
can
cut
and
thresh
forty
acres
in
a
day!
The
arlisl
shows
the
old
and
new
methods,
together
with
another
labor-saving
device
a
modern
tractor.
