ASSOCIATE EDIToR.-In order to allow
Mrs. Dunaway more time in the lecture
field, that lady has associated with her
self in the publication of the New North
west Mrs. c. A. Coburn, q talented and
experienced writer, whose contribu-
tions to that journal for some time past,
during the absence of the editor, have
maintained its high position in journal.
ism. We are glad that Mrs. D. is to
obtain some respite from the onerous
duties assumed by her, and SO ably dis
charged, ever since the New Northeast
established. For one of the
"weaker SEX" the amount OF labor per-
formed by her seems almost incredible.
Besides delivering lectures, writing
serial stories and managing the var
ious details of her business she
has contributed as much, or more,
to her editorial columns as any conduc-
tor of a public journal on the Pacific
Coast. This, in itself, is a complete
refutation of the idea that m are
not fitted for many of the duties that
have been hitherto monopolized by
men. We sincerely hope that the New
Northwest will continue to prosper, and
repay its publisher for the sacrifices she
has made, in times past, to keep it up.

Pooh TAcoMA.-The proverbial "last
feather which broke the came..'s back
has been laid upon the emaciated frame
of the poor founding of the Land Ring.
One by n it has seen its cherished
hopes fade from view and vanish in thin
air, but the most crushing blow is re-
served for the last. The Tribune is no
more. The Jealous champion of a band
OF wildcat spectators has breathed its
last, for the want of a little judicious
nursing. This indicates in unmistak-
able terms the utter bankruptcy of the
ring, and fortells the crash which must
soon come, unless relieved by a radical
change of policy in its management.
It could ill-afford to dispense with the
services of the daily Tribune at ten times
the cost of its publication, if the pro-
ject had not been abandoned as IN alb
solute' and total failure. One week ago
the only jo~b-printing Office wa removed
from that delectable neighborhood, and
but a short time ago, the Beacon, its
Kalama mouth-piece breathed its last.
Every day we meet with disguised spec
ulators who have been inveigled into
investing in worthless terminus" prop
erty. Soon, very soon, the epitaph Of
poor Tacoma will be written, and in.
scribed on a wooden slab, to mark the
resting place of disappointed hopes.

NEW RESOURCE.

The proposition of establishing
factory for the manufacture of sugar
from beets is engaging much attention
at Walla-walla. The business has
proved exceedingly profitable in Cali
fornia, where an amount OF
capital has been invested in the enter.
prise. An agent Of the Sacramento
Valley Beet Company, who has twice
visited Germany and France, to gather
information on the subject, states that
upwards of FIVE millions Of dollars are
paid annually for sugar entering Cali
fornia through the port Of San Fran
cisco, and this money all goest to foreign
countries. The demand, therefore, is
unlimited for home production, and his
report will have the effect of directing
popular attention to the subject as one
of our most valuable resources.
Hon. S. NJ. Wait is engaged in can
vassing the Walla-walla valley with the
view of inaugurating the enterprise at
an early day. He has visited the fac
tories in California, and acquired much
valuable information from his observa-
tons in that speciality. He estimates
the cost Of machinery, set up at Walla
Walla, at $50 900, and his figures show
a wide margin for profits after deduct
ing all expense of manufacture.
Now, if this enterprise can be profit
ably engaged in at Walla-walla, where
the surplus product must pay heavy
rates of transportation to reach a gen.
eral market, with how much more pro-
priety could it be established on the
Sound, where the product could be
shipped from the factory doors, besides
supplying the home demand at much
less than the prices which now prevail.
There are many tracts of land situated
convenient to the Sound, we'll adapted
to beet culture, and it is stated that the
reclaimed tide-lands produce an enor-
nous yield of this crop. Would it not
be we'll for some of our citizens who are
waiting for something to turn up to in
vestigate this subject, and determine its
feasibility by experiments at least in
beet culture? A few such enterprises
as this would relieve stagnation of bust
ness much more effectually han the
plans which have been tried so long
and with such poor success. When
the people once set about developing
our u in earnest, they will
cease the clamor for capital to come in
and aid them. Industry-bone and
sinew-rightly employed are an equiva-
lent for capital in every sense. All it
o do is to set idle hands in motion,
and accomplish just what a little energy,
controlled by a reasonable amount OF
faith, might have done.

Who IS He MIR Gordon Henry
writes to IL daily contemporary hat a
mar has made his appearance in that
region who seems to be crazy. He
lives with the Indians, who treat him
kindly. He works about their houses,
getting wood, cooking, and washing
dishes. He gives his name as Henrick;
says he came from Port Townsend and
is looking for a brother. He is about
5 feet 8 inches in hight, middle aged,
grey hair and whiskers. Was dressed
in a greyish suit, and upon the left
breast showed signs of having been
" cupped." He informed Mr.. Fowler
that he was going north as far as he
could 60 on foot, would swim across
Behring Straits, and 60 wei to Texas.
The man is evidently insane and should
be cared for by his friends or the proper
authorities.

CArr1ors. The Echo grumbles be-
cause the County Commissioners accept
the amount the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Co. are willing TO pay as county rev.
nue, instead of nothing. The Echo
pretends to want the "litigant organ
to explain. We are not the litigant or
gan, or any other kind of an organ,
although We sometimes grind out tunes
which set our contemporaries to dane
ing in a lively manner, but We volunteer
to enlighten the cold-water advocate if
his captiousness is the result Of any
thing but pure, unadulterated devilish-
ness. The Commissioners employed
one of the most eminent lawyers in the
Territory to give a legal Interpretation
of the clause in the charter of the COM
pany exempting the fright of way"
from taxation in the. Territories. The
result of that inquiry is we'll known to
our readers, and the opinion of Judge
Dennison is endorsed by all lawyers
who have expressed their views upon
the subject. The Railroad Company,
however, were willing to pay tax upon
a valuation of SO, 900 per mile, and the
question presented to the Commission
ers was simply whether they would ac-
cept it or nothing. The Echo, true to
its instincts, would have preferred tedi-
u and expensive litigation and costs
to pay, rather than to acknowledge that
the law is supreme and must be obeyed,
whether it suits u preconceived no.
tons or not. We believe the course of
our Commissioners will be approved by
all sensible people, and if they care as
little for the criticisms of the other
class as W. do, they are not likely to
lose much sleep from that cause.

RECEPTION The members of the Odd
Fellows Lodges of this place, sent out
an escort to Tenino last Tuesday, con-
sisting of the principal officers of both
lodges, to receive their new Grand Mas
ter, H. G. Strive. AS the carriages
entered town, a large number of the
members of the fraternity assembled at
the head of Main Street, and formed a
procession, preceded by the Olympia
Light Guard Band, and marched down
Main Street to Third, thence to Wash.
ington Street, and thence to the Hall.
Congratulatory addresses were made by
several of the brethren, which were re-
sponded to in appropriate terms by the
Grand Master. The members arc, of
course, delighted with the..action of the
Grand Lodge, in bestowing the highest
Office in the jurisdiction upon one of
their number, and especially pleased
that the choice has fallen upon one who
enjoys t.. such an eminent degree the
confidence and respect of the Order.

In the River and Harbor Bill, which
passed the House yesterday, are several
items of interest to your Territory.
Among these are: An appropriation of
$40, 900 for the improvement of navi-
cation on the Lower Columbia, and a
like amount for the upper portion of
the same river; $1,000 for the examine
ton and survey of the Columbia river
at the Cascades and the Dalles, and the
Skagit, Snohomish and Chehalis rivers.
Your Delegate is entitled to great
credit for the perseverance and energy
manifested in introducing and advocat-

number of new post-routes, in the forth
coming postal bill, which has been re-
ported by the committee but not yet

pie would cheerfully submit to sacrifices to rid
themselves of the evils of paper currency and
quoted Daniel Webster against a disordered
currency. 1T was the duty of the country to
resume specie payments now He referred to
Boutwelps recent speech, claiming that the
Senator had thus written his own epitaph. He
quoted from the Supreme Court to show that
greenbacks should be redeemed in coin, and
hoped the would soon be ended which now dis
honored the country in promises to pay. The
result of our paper currency was false pulled
up value to prices. He would not propose any
specific plan, but would support any sound
measure to place the country on firm finan-
cial basis. He believed gold enough could be
accumulated in the Treasury during the next
TOUR years to pay every obligation, but pay
iheIt OF debts not yet due should cease.
MI. Morrill, of Vt, followed. He hoped
s some measure would be adopted to preserve
t4e credlt and uphold the honor of the country.
ne read from the proceedings of the House
WEE D9utweil was member on March 18th,
1906, ana from Boutwelps first report when he
was Secretary OF the Treasury, to prove that
Boutwell, favored an early and speedy resumn.
ton OF specie payments. He said also that in
the third year of Mr.. BoulwelPs adminislrat;on
ne reiterated the same sentiments, while in his
last report he seems to have changed his views
He tMorrilD refuted she argument that infia
ton would benefit the agricultural interests,
claiming that they derived smaller profits from
currency than any other class The Boards of
Trade and other commercial bodies rejecting
the popular will have demanded specie pay
ments. He said rates of interest had increased
even in the State represented by Boutwell,, and
stated that the balance of trade had always
been against the United States. The Secretary
of the Treasury had no right to issue re-
serve. The claim oil Boutwell, that the country
is too poor to resume specie payments was out
of place while we are building a $1,000, 900
postoffice at New York, $4000OOO one at
Chicago and S., 0OO, 900 or $6,0O0,0OO one at
Boston, besides railroads building everywhere
He quoted Webster on dsordered currency and
closed by regretting that the distinguished son
of Massachusetts, Boutwell, was not among
the advocates of resumption of specie pay
ments. Adjourned.
