Many Hands, Light Work.

From the end of the plank road
near the Fair Grounds to the GEM
etary is a strip of very bad road, even
in the dry season. aud during the
Winter, it is often the next thing to
being impossible. Now we have
been thinking what simple thing it
would be for those severally inter-
ested in the three cemeteries and
the managers of tho Industrial As

complete, the road by substantially
planking it to the farthest point

in which to do the work, and we'll
qualified men might doubtless be
found who would supsrintend the
business for little Or no remunera-
ton. Our friends, the Masons and
Odd Fellows, are directly and vitality
interested in this matter, and should
bear the heat and burden of the day in
the enterprise. Our Hebrew neigh
bors would Of course, be ready and
willing to do something in SO laud-
able an undertaking. The time is
coming when drive to the cemetery
grounds will DO exceedingly unpleas-
ant. if that portion Of the road is not,
in some way, improved. Would it
not expediate matters if the Odd Eel
lows and the Fair Directors would
appoint q joint committee to act in
this matter?

Olympia is properlv the end OF the
route from IAN Francisco t0 P0--t
Sound. the port at which to eXtingulsh
fires, refit and take time 10 load with
such cumbrous freight As coal, hard

the like. This might have been Sc
cured before nov, but while we hesit-
ated Seattle was at work. In addi-
ton to her mines across Lake Wash
ington, she has Developed the Talbot
and the Renion veins, extended the
railroad around the lake, and is now
breaking ground on a ten-mile ex-
tension to the Mctllister vein, up
Cedar river. That is the way to
succeed. Some say we have waited
too long, but to admit that conclu-
sion, is to fail entirely. All things
considered, Olympia to-day COM
mands as many advantages for a
great commercial city as any other
point. Like Baltimore, she is at the
head of navigation, about the same
distance from the ocean; and like her
We must push on lines of communica-
ton with the interior; first with our
local sources of support in Lewis
county and the Chehalis valley, and
finally to the vast wheat-producing
region east of the Cascade Mount
aims.
Great results are attained by
small beginnings. We must make
business for our road so that it will
pay from the start, and thus be able
TO carry its proportion of the county
debt. Oak and ash lumber can be
wrought for wagons, aud inexhaust-
able forests Of fir will afford slaves
for the rapidly increasing fisheries
as well as for expectation.
These available resources point to
the first indispensable step to be
taken. Our road must run to deep
water, at the earliest practical mo-
ment. Contracts for stave bolts,
coal, or other heavy articles, cannot
be made, without better facilities for
their delivery than now exist. These,
and all other heavy freights must
be carried to deep water direct. No
rehandling will pay. As the matter
now stands, even the hoop-poles cut
along the line of the railroad, will
be shipped by way of the Northern
Pacific Railroad and Tacoma. The
need is evident. We submit the
facts to our worthy directors for
their earnest and early considera-
ton.

The Republican Primary.

An amusing scene took place IN
the Republican primary meeting last
Monday. As usual, there were two
factions; the Ferry clique, repre-
sented by Tarbell, the Territorial
Treasurer, Horr the Representative,
Billing the Sheriff, Burr the Post
master, Bagley the Territorial Print
or and Deputy Collector of Internal
Revenue, Munson, the County Treas
urer, and their hackers and strikers
ON one side, and Rev. j. r. Thomp-
son the Superintendent of schools,
Rev. A. r. Elder Probate Judge,
and their disciples on the other.
The Leyites outnumbered the Phar-
asees five to one, still the little band,
. nothing daunted ran their flag to the
main-peak and went down with col.
ors flying. Capt. Sparks was the
last man to leave the ship, and he
did not take to water until the an
gray pillows closed around his head,
and the historic hat went sailing ma
jestically down the rapid current.
We never saw a convention where
less effort was made to conceal the
process by which It's measures were
"put up" The stale dodge of ap-
pointing committee to nominate del
egates was resorted to, and the COM
mittee wasted an hour in consulta-
ton, when it known that they
reported the identical list made up by
Bagley and his conyreres, in the
morning.
While the Presidents order re-
strained the Governor and the fuuda-
menta. part of the glee club, from
being present in person, their we'll
trained agents left nothing to be
done to serve their masters, and the
strange anomaly was presented of
forty able bodied, athletic, sensible
looking men becoming so many
automata, to respond "yea" or
"nay, as the fugleman pulled the
wires. TWAS merely a ratification Of
what had been done in secret con-
clave.
As illustrating the lengths to which
men can be used, we have only to
cite the fact that MIR. 1arbell called
the meeting to order nominated its
presiding officer, went through the
form of taking the vote and seated
the chairman, before half the audi
ence knew what had been done. If
the people will stand such usurpa-
lion oftheir rights, they deserve 10 be
slaves and and feel the lash of their
task-masters,

The Grove Meeting.

We inadvertently omitted to make
due reference to the public speaking
at Austin's Grove on Sunday last.
AS in the first instance, two weeks be-
fore, there were morning and after
noon services with very pleasant
hiatus between, made up Of every
thing that could possibly salty the
physical man, 20 say nothing of the
" chickings'' that were displayed in
lavish quantities. The discourse in
the morning was rendered while the
speaker was under the control of
spiritual influence, and, from be-
ginning to end, calculated both to
please and enlighten any liberal
minded bearer.
In the afternoon, Mr.. Clark in
dulged in a purely scientific and
philosophical disquisition of the di-
namical wonders of spiritualism. His
method of reasoning was in the great
a priori style that never fails to con-
vince and convict, save in the case
of the wilfully ignorant and bigoted.
According to his theory, spiritualism
is nothing more nor less than the
outcroppings of refined science, COM
bined with the infinitely more grand
and glorious morat influx now man
ifesting itself throughout the civil
lied and enlightened world.
In other words, spiritualism is
breaking down the partition wall
that, since the golden age of our
race, has divided the seen from the
unseen, the dead from from the liv-
ing, the sordid from the exalted and
glorious. MIR. Clarke is a finished
and fluent speaker, and he only
asks the candid attention of his
hearers, allowing them in turn TO
draw their own conclusions and
comments.
