Prepare.

Much as our past and present fine
weather may tend to belle the pre-
dictions of the carly Autumn as to
the severity of the prospective Win
ter, it is not too late, even now, to
have those predictions verified in the
three months yet to come. In a con-
versation with one of our most intel
ligent farmers, who claims to be
thoroughly posted in regard to the
general Winter preparation that OBJ
tains in the rural districts of our
county, we were informed that
there is none too much hay in the
country to meet just such emergen-
cies as have, in former years, come
suddenly upon US when the people
were ill-prepared for them; hence,
as our informant concludes, it would
be but acting the part of wisdom for
every farmer who has stock to keep
through the Winter, to take no
chances, but ascertain by actual cal
culation just what his needs will be
in the way of hay and feed. Even
small band of cattle we'll wintered,
is n splendid thing with which to be-
gin the operations offspring farming.
Let no one sell himself short of hay.
1t were better, by all means to sell
the stock rather than the hay. 1t is,
doubtless, q pleasant thing for young
farm ars to be able to count their
tons of hay and their cattle by the
hundred, and, also, to have fine
array of sheep, young horses, ETC.,
but, after all, young farmers are the
least experienced, and hence should
abide by the counsels of wisdom.
The cat that had mouse under each
paw and one in her mouth, lost all
in her final effort to devour them.
Then let our friends in the country
look we'll to their best interests.

The SchOOl-BOOk Contract.

We give, below, q communnica-
ton from Mr.. j. p. Judson, Terri
torial Superintendent of Public In
struction, in relation to the vexed
school-book question. We make no
comments ON the subjec>, but
leave our readers to draw their own
conclusions as to how the textbook
contract between the School Board
and the Publishers should be con-
strued:
OLYMPIA, Jan. LIST, 1879.
EDITOR EXPERIMENT:
At the meeting of the Board of Ed
ucation, in October last, contract
was entered into by and between
the Board of Education and Messrs.
A. S. Barnes d Co., to supply the
Territory with school books.
There seems to be some question
among the people and the agents
appointed by Messrs. Barnes e. Co.,
for the sale of their books, as to the
time in which an even exchange can
be made. AS the question is an i'm
portant one, l desire to give the I'M
derstanding the Board of Education
had on the subject.
Thirty days in which to make even
exchanges, for obvious reasons, WIS
not sufficient, and in order that the
people might have ample time to
avail themselves of an even exchange
the Board of Education, provided
that the adoption Of the ne,c series Of
books should take effect January list,
1879.
According to our understanding,
the people have ninety days from
January first, in which to make the
exchange; that those districts in
which no school is kept, during the
ninety days, have thirty days after
the actual commencement of school.
In order that the people may
Judge for themselves, as to who is
right, submit herewith the propo-
sition which we accepted, and which
forms the contract.
Yours Respectfully,
JOHN p. JUDsoN.
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
And eX-ofiCio President Board OF Education.

Why should the Courier man snap
as up SO cruelty for making q pass
ing remark on the specie resumption
question? We say great many
things in our unassuming Daily, any
one of which would make a much
better target for his little bow-and-
arrow practice. Experience should
teach him to let fly his missiles at
something that would make them
stick: then they would not rebound
and hurt him. Stall-fed, as he is,
at the public crib, one would sup
pose him to be fully posted in all the
minute appertaining to our nation
al currency; gold, silver, legal ten
ders, or the much-abused "dollar of
our dads" But can he tell us, on
a trotting-horse, without previously
learning his lesson by ransacking
authorities and boreing his intelli-
gent friends, when, and by Ehat act,
greenbecks were created illegal ten
ders, aud to what amoun.7 Can
he post US in a similar way relative
to gold and silver? Can he tell us,
upon the spur OF the moment, the
technical acceptation of " remonetiza-
ton, and in walt sense Shak-
speare used the term? In a word,
can he dcJihe what he calls the $50
cent swiDdle." q hackneyed term he
uses 50 giit!y! Please tell US all
these things, SO we shall make no
more ugly mistakes.

" Wells, Fargo & Co."

This world-renowned company
was created in the city of New York,
in the year 1852, immediately after
the setting in of the full tide OF the
California rush. 1t may be safely
affirmed that this express company
has transacted more business during
the twenty-six years just past, than
all other similar companies that ever
existed in this country put together.
As long ago, as 1845, Messrs. Wells,
Fargo and Dunning established o
package and heavy freight express
between Buffalo and what was then
the western cities, extending as far
as the Missouri river. This COM
pany was known as " Wells & Co.'s
Express" and may be regarded as
the actual progenitor of the present
stupendous corporation of Wells,
Fargo & Co. The Pacific coast has
been the peculiar province and base
of operations of this company.
From San Francisco, as the great
nucleus, its lines have extended in
nearly all points of the compass
around the habitable globe. "Wells,
Fargo q Co" is n household word
from Behring's Strait to Cape Horn.
and from San Francisco to $50 de-
grees of longitude either way. In
deed, should we, by any stroke of
fortuitous conveyance, find ourselves
In a corner of the world where we
could not transmit a message of good
cheer by " Wells, Fargo a. Co. ;" we
should think We had surely come to
the confines of civilization. Now,
that the last surviving original part
ner of the firm has lately passed
away, we have thought it meet to do
honor TO his memory by recounting
the strides of a great business insti-
tuition mainly due to his own instru-
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1879-01-04

In order to avoid all expense of
q change to the people, we agree to
establish one or more agencies in
each county in said Territory, to
which we will send the books at our
own expense where said even ex-
change of books can be made.
We guarantee that the stock sup
piled shall be in all respects, as good
as the samples herewith presen ted,
and we agree to replace at our own
expense, during the entire period for
which said books may be adopted,
any book returned to us or to our
agencies, which has come to pieces
through defect in binding, or which
is defective in any respect for which
we as manufacturers are properly
responsible.
We further agree that the retail
price of said books, or any of them,
shall not at any time during the pc
riod of which they may be adopted,
five years, dating from Jan. LIST, A. d.
1879 exceed the price heretofore set
forth; that the rerail price of said
books, or any of them, II this Terri
tory, shall not at any time exceed
the retail price of corresponding
books of the same series in the
States of Oregon and California.
Each county will he allowed ninety
days from date of adoption for use
in schools, for ordering exchange
supplies; and further, pupils atten-
tending each school in the several
districts shall have thirty days from
the date of the actual introduction
of the books into any such schools,
within which to exchange the books
they may have in use at such tirle
for corresponding books of the series
Aforesaid.
