this winter by saving fuel. Coal it expensive *
in this country and the stove that gives the
most heat with the least amount of fuel is the

one you want. The H

ESTATE
heater is the simplest and best regulated stove
on the market and burns 25 per cent less fuel
than any other—this means a saving of
Twenty-Five cents on every sack of coal at One
Dollhr per.
H Why burn up that extra two-bits?
We have four different sizes and extra parts.

The Whaler Tyee, Catches Sixty-One
*.. * . ■ t
Whale# During thcr Season, Net
ting Large Profit.
The whaling gteaiuer Tyei1, Jr.,
has returned to' Seattle, after a suc
cessful season fishing in Southeas
tern Alaska, says the P. I.
The season's catch consists of
fourteen sperm, forty-two sulphur hot.
tonus, four humpbacks and one fin
back.
Members of the crow of the Tyee
tell of an exciting battle of moro
than an hour with a gigantic sperm
whale outside of Sitka Bay on Aug
ust 1G. Gunner Siguard Blick, had
Just harpooned the big fellow when
he started for the vessel with the
speed of a shell from a submarine.
There was a crash, a clatter of dish
es 'in the galley and the steamer
shook from stem to stern. The
whale struck the Tyee with great
force amidships, and then with a
roar of pain turned quickly and after
Treeing itself from the harpoon dis
appeared.
The blow struck by the whale was
terrific, and Capt. Shaw went bolow
"immediately to see if any damage
had been sustained by the vessel. He
found that two steel ribs dn the port
side had bc«en broken and that the
dynamo and one of the engines had
been put out of commpsion by 'he
shock.
Members of the crew regret the
loss of the whale more than the dam
age to the vessel He was nearly
ninety feet long and worth between
$1,100 and $1,200.
All of the whales bagged during
the summer were taken to the
whaling station at Whale bay where
the bone and oil were extracted and
'shipped to this port on vessels of
the Pacific Coast Company. The
whaling company also had a floating
station in operation, with Whale bay
af its base.—Seattle P. F.

Parcels Post.
WASHINGTON,'—That l.lie institu
tion of the parcels post, will revolu
tionize the express business oL' the
country and and that is a serious
menace to the express companies,
was admitted by the corporations at
the interstate- commerce com mission
hearing. ;
Counsel a»s«Tt«'d that tin* reduc
tions proposed by the com mission
would mean a loss of $27,0(Mi,0ij0 a
year gross revenue to the five com
panies—the Adams, American, South
ern, United States and Wei Is-Fargo.
It was asserted that instead of ex
press companies making less than »
cents on each dollar of Inisinti'ss
they would lose nearly «i cents: that
the intiatiou of the parcels posit. n« xt
January removes all need of a hur
ried revenision of express rates.
Instead of forcing the companies to
I their knees, attorneys st.it/-d that
they have c leverly accepted dt as an
existing danger anu an; eall'ug upon
the commission to withhold (»t . at
tack until they know how deeply t lie
parcels post is to di« .into their
i vitals.
j Attorneys laid much stress on the
fact that no one knows either what
[effect it. will have on small package
|business or to what limits the post
I master general or the interstate com
merce commission may see fit to ex
joend it.
