THE ECHO's "TEMPEsT In A TEAPOT. 81

The most absurd and ridiculous
charge the little De,o-drop has brought
against the " United Publishers is that
they have ignored the public interests to
subserve their own. Nothing is further
from the truth. There has not been q
public enterprise inaugurated by our
citizens, but what has received cordial
support from the STANDARD, as we'll as
the other town papers. The publishers
did object to acts of the officers of GER
tain corporations, who used their posi-
ton to trade out individual indebtness,
due from job printing Office, while
others were expected to do all the blow
ing for glory. To illustrate: when the
first coin subscription paper was circula-
ted to pay for survey of the Olympia
Tenio Railroad, we subscribed and paid
in cash, more than our just proportion
Of the expense. The job-printer who
is now becoming so famous. did not
subscribe cent, but the only job-work
done at that time was given him, for
which he received his usual price. 1t
may surprise some of the Eclo's readers
after all the bombast of its Skookum
Contributor, to be told that we have
never directly or indirectly received one
dollar, or one cent, from the Olympia
Tenio Railroad, nor have any of the
parties so far as we know, except Mr..
Hewitt. All the advertising and printing
done, amounting to hundreds of dol
lars in value has been literally cultus
potlach.
There is not single point made in
the Echo's verbiage about the " Com
bination, which will stand unsupported
by the falsehoods which prop it up.
The county printing was executed in
1874 for 1920 mot 1902 as the Echo has
it, while the comparatively small county
of Whatcom paid $3.50 for the same SER
wees. That the Echo, under Mr.. Nun
son, received but Chinamen's prices
should be no guide for determining the
actual value of advertising. That he
failed and the "rat" job.office with
him, is an indication that such policy
is ruinous, and If the Echo is not wise
enough to profit from experience, it
must stand TIE consequences and abide
by the result. The logic Of events win
not admit Of sophistry. The laws by
which it is controlled is the immutable
principal connecting cause and effect.
The wise man recognizes its force and
provides for the result. while fools rush
on until overwhelmed by the consequen-
ces OF their own rashness and termsrity.

OLYMPIA's OPPORTUNITY.

Many of our citizens do not appear to
realize the importance of the movement
which will, after April, make Olympia
the terminus of the Pacific Mail Steam
dhip line. The new industries it will
awaken are legion; the benefits it will
confer innumerable. We will be brought
within five days of San Francisco, where
every product will find ready sale.
Bat one of the greatest benefits will
be derived from the prestige which this
action will give to Olympia througaot
the civilized world, for it is not too
much to say that the operations of the
Pacific Mail Co. are reorganized wher-
ever commercial relations exist between
other nations and our own.
Olympia will be the only terminus of
this gigantic company which does not
number its inhabitants by the hundreds
of thousands. In this we are singular
ly favored, and the officers of the COM
pany must have some faith in the future
of place which receives such distin-
guished mark of favor. The company
own 81 steamers, Is of which are new
ocean ships. It's capital is $50, 600, 900,
and its miles OF route would extend
quite around the globe, as the following
summary will show:

JUsT THE MAN.-While our people are
looking for the right man" to send to San
Francisco in the interest of the Olympia
renio Railroad, "a telegram announces that
Mr.. Freeman, after all, will visit the bay city
on the next trip of the steamer Panama.
We do not believe that there is a man who
can do more than Mr.. Freeman to advance
that interest. If our railroad officers will
authorize him 20 act fally in the premises, We
believe he will succeed in securing the aid
required to complete the road.

A more concise idea of its operations
may be obtained, if the reader will but
reflect q moment on the subject.
Twenty of the company's steamers are
afoat this morning laden with human
lives; 5000 passengers slept on her
ships last night; 10000 people took
breakfast on her steamers this morn
ing; 1900 employees in her service,
have their homes upon the deep.
As has been truly remarked, the re-
cord of the line is truly an enviable one,
and is not due to luck" but to care,
fidelity, caution and unceasing watch
fulness on the part of every employe in
the line, who, in turn, is watched over
with redoubled vigilance by the heads
of this great and powerful company.
1t never allows its material to run down
or deteriorate, nor does it employ any
but frst-class men in every capacity.
The safety of those who risk their lives
upon the treacherous ocean is as as
sured as it is possible for human
agency to make it.
This is the powerful ally we now
have in developing our local interests.
Truly daylight is breaking.
