J. w. Page has been chosen super

The Standard says extensive fires
are raging in the woods near Olym-
pia.
The citizens have begun work in
earnest on the Olympia and Tenino
railroad
1t is reported that a citizen of Port
land is willing to build $4,000 no.

is certainty.
Arrangements have been made for
the erection of an elaborate monu-

In the damage suit of Mrs. Phelps

through an open hatchway on the
City Of Panama in January 1876, the
Supreme Court, in session at Olympia,
upon hearing Of the case de noUo,
unanimously agreed that decree

Rash Advice.
sponsible.

The editor of the Walla Walla
Waterman gives the following rash
advice to his country readers:
"Now settlers A word to you The
first buck Indian that comes around
your ranches and shows any signs that
won't bear inspection about the re-
gion of his good (D heart or act mena-
cling, don't quarrel with him, nor curse
or swear, but go quietly into your little
chamber, get your double barrel shot
gun and blow his brains out. Start a
little grave yard of your own and keep
it by your self. Make him think your
place is hell, and our word for it, your
home will be paradise for you and
your family. Only blaze away"
If all Indians went about through
the land purposely to kill and torture
people, there might be some reason in
such advice, but the truth is, that sort
of a course, carried out, would lead i'm
nlediately to war of determination,
in which it would be hard to tell
whic.. were the most savage and bar
barous, the Indians or their white enc
mics. The above extract would sound
better and be more consistent with the
boosted civilization and superiority OF
the white race, if it's phraseology were
changed so as to read as follows:
"Now settlers! A word to you.
The first Indian that comes around
your ranches and shows any signs that
wont bear inspection about the region
of his good () heart or act menacing,
don't quarrel with him, nor curse OF
swear, but go quietly about your bust
ness, be dignifed and reticent and
stand on the defensive, the same as
you would do under similar circumstan-
ces with one of your own race"
No man in his right mind wants to
kill any human being if he can, in any
way, honorably or safely avoid it. But
then you did not mean all you said.
Did you Brother of the Waterman?

The riotous population of San Francis
co has been effectually quelled The COM
mittee of safety, under the leadership of
w. T. Coleman, have overawed the enc
mics of law and order by means of syste-
matte preparation for war. The hoodlum
element soon perceived that the spirit
of SO was not dead, but lively as ever,
and just as likely to cause the gallows
to bear fruit as it did 20 years ago. If
this course had been adopted in the
east in the first instant, it would have
saved great deal of obstruction, both
of life and property.

We have received the programme of
the State Teachers Institute. From
the contents of the programme, and
from what we know of Superintendent
Rowland as worker in the cause of
liberal education, we can assure allteach-
ers that it will be profitable to attend
this Institute. 1t would be a good
idea for those teachers in this county
who can spare the time, to attend.
Three days at lively institute will do
more to brighten up teacher than a
month spent studying theory and prac
tice from books.

During the past week the riots have
partially subsidized and trains on some
of the railroads have resumed opera
tions. In some parts of Pennsylva-
MIA the mobs are still clamorous and
blood-thirsty. at Scranton yesterday
reign of terror was dominant. The
following dispatch is clipped from the
Daily Oregonian:
SCRANTON, Pa, Aug. la reign of terror is
employees have held possession of the city, driv-
ing workmen from all the shops, and the vigil
lance committee was called out. The two par
ties met and exchanged shots both being well
armed. Numbers were killed and wounded.
After this encounter the strikers became per-
fectly desperate and paraded the streets, swear
ing they would clean out every shop II the
city where men were ut work They marched
to the Dixon works where number of men
were employed, and here again another bloody
scene was enacted. Three men have just been
shot on Lackawanna avenue. Two men with
the tops of their heads torn off were lying also
on the sidewalk of the avenue.
This afternoon troops have been sent for
and are expected tonight, when fresh trouble
is feared. Meanwhile the streets are being
cleared by the mayor, assisted by the police
and volunteers.
Trains on the St. Louis roads are
running regularly. For the present
the strike has about spent its force.

Indian has been allowed to take care of
himself. The laudable efforts that

Indian has been allowed to take care of
himself The laudable efforts that
have already been made in their behalf
are not to be deprecated, but the field
demands more workers. More such
men as Father Wilbur and Father
Mesplie are needed among the Indians.
In conclusion, it seems to be evident
that while the Indian questian may be
partially solved by adopting more
stringent coersive measures as to the
Indians, and more restrictive measures
as to the lawless whites, the final and
only effective solution remains for time
to accomplish by gradually subduing
the Indians to the ways of civilization
and, thereby, rendering them more
nearly an extinct race. For the sar-
casm of these words hold history re-
sponsible.

The war in the East is progressing.
The Turks have been somewhat more
victorious of late than usual. 1t is
reported that in battle at Pera the
Russians lost 5000 killed and 1000
wounded. War is being rapidly re-
duced to science when FIVE men are
killed to one wounded.

1t would be we'll for those of our
citizens who are chronic complainers
about the cost of local government, to
remember that as the county settles up
there is an increased demand for roads,
bridges and other internal improve
ments. Vancouver people should be
the last of all others to begrudge the
money spent in laying out and main
tanning good roads. The town depends
upon the roads for her country trade
and for the benefit derived from being
the County seat. A generous public
spirited policy is always the best for
townspeople to pursue, and especially
is this true in Vancouver in view of
her large dependence upon the farming
population.
