THE PUGET SOUND MAIL SERVICE.

The removal of the head of the steam
er mail route on the Sound from Olym-
pia to Tacoma not only causes great
delay and inconvenience with the north
ern mails, compelling them to go
around by stage and railroad ria Tenino
and Tacoma, but deprives Olympia of
regular steamer facilities and commune
cation with the lower Sound and Vic
toria, cuts off and isolates the town,
and strikes severe blow at her pros
perity. Olympia is not suffering for mn
increase Of mail service, but it is of vital
Importance to her to restore the former
route, and to have steamers run regu-
Early to her wharves, instead of stop
!ting forty miles below.
What action is the Postmaster Gen
eral likely to take, when he receives
petitions signed by the whole popula-
ton of the Sound asking for a daily
mail between Olympia and Port Town
send? Will he order daily service
between those points, costing $50, 900
per annum more than the present SER
vice, when he has just cut off forty miles
between Tacoma and Olympia, nearly
half the distance, in order to save S.
coo per annum? OF course not!
Will he simply restore, or extend, the
steamer route from Tacoma to Olympia,
as it always has been? The people of
Olympia do not specifically demand
this. 1t adds nothing to the facilities
of the lower Sound ports. Will he
disregard the petitions of every place
ON the Sound, and the powerful infu.
ence which has deprived Olympia of
her steamer mail? Not very probable.
He must then order a daily mail SER
vice between Tacoma ard Port Town
send. 1t will cost only about SIS 900
per annum additional, and deducting
the saving effected by cutting off the
Route between Tacoma and Olympia
only $4,000. 1t satisfies the demands
of Tacoma, Seattle, Ports Madison,
Gamble, Ludlow and Townsend. The
influence of the steamboat men, and of
the railroad company will urge it, Even
Olympia will have Her daily mail ria
Tenino, it will be said.
The people of Olympia, by signing
those petitions, ask for daily mail,
when tri-weekly mail is ample. They
fail to point out the vital Importance of
the restoration, or extension, of the
steamer route from Tacoma to Olympia.
They have not presented their own case
at all. They have put themselves in u
false position. Let them at once re-
monstrate against the deprivation of
their steamer mails and facilities, and
demand their restoration. Let them
represent the case rs it is-the Capital
of the Territory cut off and isolated,
mails delayed, public business suffering,
people of the whole Sound having bus
mess here incommodcd, the town seri-
ously damaged, mail route of twenty
five years standing cut off, and all for
saving of $4,000 per annum. Every
other point on the Sound would en-
dorsc their action and assist them in
their efforts. ~
We trust that the suggestion of our
correspondent will be adopted, and
that a petition setting forth our griev-
ances he circulated for signatures.
Probably it would be we'll, as the Tran
scriW'sugsests, to call public meeting
for tho purpose of securing united

NEW MINERAL DIscovERIEs.-The Sc
attic Dispatch of the 10th inst. says:
The new mineral discoveries of the
Skykomish, in Snohomish county, are
now the excitement of this city. The
assays from four or five we'll defined
and extensive quartz lodges indicate
prospects fully equal to Washoe or
White Pine. These mines are about
sixty miles from Seattle, the greater
portion of the way by navigable waters.
For the last twenty miles of the route
the country is very rugged and almost
inaccessible, until roads are constructed,
which, on account of the snow in the
mountains, cannot he done till Spring.
Such discovery as this anywhere in
California or Nevada would draw to-
gether 5000 people within the next
six months, and if the indications turn
out as we'll S they promise, the future
of this prospective town can be esti-
mated by thousands of inhabitants and
millions of treasure.

THE BAPTIST UNIVERSITY.
Meeting of the Board OF Trustees
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of the Sc
lection Of a Site.

Yesterday was the day appointed for the
Board of Trustees of the proposed South
western Baptist University, for the purpose
of selecting a site for said institution. The
following named members of the Board
were present:
From East Tennessee-Rev. T. I. Eaton,
Rev. Mr.. Kimbrough and Rev. j. L. Mays.
From Middle Tennessee-Dr. VIM. Shell
ton, DR.. W. p. Jones and E. l.. Jordan.
From West TenneSsee-ReV. Mr.. Hills
man, Rev. DIR. Griffin and Judge Bond.
An informal meeting of the Board was
had at the First Baptist Church, yesterday,
but, as offers of sites had been received
from only the towns of Chattanooga, Muir
freesboro and Jackson, it was thought best
to adjourn until July 2, in order that other
places may be heard from. 1t was under
stood that Chattanooga was prepared to aid
the institution to the extent of 100000,
Murfreesboro proposed to do quite as much,
or more. and jackson, it was said, would
offer S1S6,0OC rather than lose the Univer-
sity.
The following named residents of Muir
freesboro were in attendance for the pur-
pose Of showing the advantages TO accrue
to the institution by its being located in
their city: James ID. Richardson, J. b. Col
lier, E. II. Ewing, j. W. Jarman, Gen. J.
b. Palmer, r. d. Reed, r. S. Wendell,
Rev. Il. t. Leavell, j. B. Murfree and
John Bell, Jr.
Strange TO say, Nashville has not offered
an acre of ground or a dollar in money to
secure the location of the University at this
point, though there is every reason to be-
lieve that it would be established here if a
proper spirit Of enterprise were shown by
our citizens.
Let the ball be put in motion, and no
one can predict the proportions the move
ment may assume by the day set for the
next meeting of the Board.

WHOLESOME WORDS ON FINANCE.

New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle.
The people are solvent. They have many
times the accumulated wealth per capita
that they had when, in 1912, the upward
spring or improvement became strong and
fOrcible. Yet to-day most of our prOduc-
tive industries show gradually diminishing
profits or actual loss, while in the exchange
of commodities or trade the tendency is
still to stagnatiOn or inaction. Currency
Is only too abundant. The want is not of
currency, but the employment of currency
productivity. The abundance and cheap
ness of lOanable funds constitute the unfail-
ing evidence of insufficient use for money,
because the use of hired money cannot
be made profitable in legitimate business
enterprise. 1t is the sure sign of stagnation.
So when money for loans becomes scarce
and dear for the demand upon it, the evil
dence is clear that profits and active
business prevail, or have been prevailing
perhaps too far to be safe or wholesome
indicating coming insecurity.
No increase in currency, then, can set in
motion the idle machinery, or give employ
ment to idle labor. Rather would it agra
vate the evil instead of relieving it by new
cause of d;struSt and fear. The remedy,
out OF which shall spring recovering activi-
ties, profits and lucrative employments,
must be one that is in itself true and sure;
one that shall supply confidence that the
right policy is entered upon; that will make
mel willing lenders and willing borrowers
because of having new sense of security
and a reasonable assurance against failure.
Until that sort of remedy shall be tried the
less that Congress shall do in regard to the
currency or measures of finance the better
for the people.

BOUND TO BE MARRIED.

A correspondent gives the NelctoR, IN.
H.) Register an account of a recent we'd
ding ceremony in Walpack township, near
Flatbrookville, that State, which was some
what in this way: A young woman of that
vicinity had become enamOred with a
young man of Pennsylvania birth, who
has been living in Saltwater township for
some time. Desiring to get 'spliced,"
they offered certain local preacher, living
near by, five dollars TO do the job. He in
formed :hem, with many regrets,
that he was unauthorized to perform
the ceremony. They then dispatched a
messenger to cOTpulent Squire, residing
in FlatbroOk valley, who agreed to come
and marry them. Shortly after he arrived,
the mother Of the would-be bride, who had
been absent from home, returned and dis
covered the situation. Selling a piece of
board three or four feet long and six inches
wide, she proceeded to belabOr all parties
concerned. She drove her daughter to the
garrett, and her would-be son-in-law out of
doors. The Squire began to expostulate
with the excited woman, when she sprung
toward him and told him to leave. He
obeyed the command, but when he reached
the middle of the road he told the sor-
rowing parties to come to him and he
would make them one. This still
further enraged the mother, and she charged
the Squire and forced him to fee home
ward. Later in the day the disappointed
bride and groom were seen together weep
ing and bewailing the state Of affairs. The
result Of this conference was that early the
next morning they presented themselves
before the Squire in his barnyard. He
asked them to 90 to the house, but, having
learned wisdom from experience, they de-
elined, stating that they desired to be mar
ried on the spot, before the brides mother
should be out on the war-path. Without
further delay the twain Yepe one, the only
living WITNESSES being the cattle which
surrounded them, and who stood BY - v,
ing their cuds.
