Mrs. Eleanor Wallace Collins, late
wife of A. Collins, and mother of the Rev.

protracted illness, at her home near
Xenia, Ohio, IN the S4th year of her
age. She was born in York county.
Pennsylvania, moved to Ohio in 1920,
and settled on the farm where she spent
the rest of her life. She was awoman
of great mental and physical vigor, indie
fatigable in useful labors and remarka-
bic for hospitality-had a room prepared
expressly for lodging beggars, and al
ways fed the hungry traveller, with or
without money; was the mother of
twelve children, seven of whom survive
her, and three of whom are ministers.
She leaves a husband, now feeble with
years, to mourn her loss, with whom she
had lived sixty-twO years. Few live so
long, so usefully and SO much honOred,
and die so ripe for heaven.

again, thu regular proposition to re.

1t is quite plain that there are too

years to catch poor forlorn "siwash

HARD TIMES. - The Olympia
"Standard", in an article on "The
price of labor" gets at the kernel of
its subject in answer TO the query:
"Why do SO many complain OF hard
times and the scarcity of money ?"
1t says that western people do not
know the meaning Of the word econ
omy, that each family wastes as much
in year as would support another
family in the thrifty state Of Maine.
This is the true explanation of so
much grumbling. 1t is quite true
that so long period Of "flush" times
and high prices has insensibly led
ths people Of the Pacific coast into
extravagance. While we are still
enabled to secure wages-both for
skilled and common labor - that
would make eastern workmsn think
the poor mans millennium had come,
we grumble and call it mere pit
tance. The carpenters on this coast,
with wages running from $15 to $50
per week, have to "pinch and save"
las they say in order to make liv-
ing-when those engaged in the
same trade in New York must con
tent themselves on an average of $40
per week; in England 1926, and, in
Germany, 81. In other trades the
proportion is about the same. or
course it costs people more here to
live than in the other pl men,
toned, because ALL prices are high.
er, but there is no denying the fact
that eastern workmen and eastern
farmers are, as q rule, more thrifty
here than are tho Sc who have resid.
ed here continuously for long time.
The reason WHY they are so must be
embodied in the answer that they are
more &c onomical than we. Unac-
customed to indulge in expensive
Injuries, they present strong con
trast to your Pacific coaster who
must use half a. dozen cigars day
and 'treat" every friend he meets.
BY degrees, however, our times
arescoming down to an eastern basis
--and tits healthy sign. When
our people learn to "eut their coat
to suit the supply Of CLOTH" they will
be on the high road to prosperity
more desirable than the days Of 40.

to press protracted snow storm is
tnpering off in manner which leads
us to hope that it is about to suspend
operations for the present. We do
not know just what is the reason of
this lull in the snow business; but if
we we're to venture a guess--judging
from the amount Of congsaled moist
ure lying around looss--ws would
say it was because that tabled indi-
vidual, the clerk of the weather, had
run out of raw material. The
depth Of snow. fall is estimated at
something over three feet, back from
the beach a little dstancs--a show
ing which the country hereabout has
nevsr before made within our memo
ry, which dates back nearly twenty
years. 1t carries US back to the IA
nous winter Of '61.2 when q fall of
snow to the depth Of about two feet
and a "cold snap" lasting several
weeks made tho season memorable
for years. Our farmer friends who
have feed enough on hand to safely
winter their young stock may we'll
rejoice over the fact. Meanwhile,
We have dug out tunnel TO the

CoL:HALLRR's CoMMANp.-Since

CoL.HAILER's CoMMAND.-Since
our last issue official news have con.
frmed the report that Col. G. o.
Haller has been assigned to the com
mand Of the 23d Infantry. Since the
bill passed Congress, granting to
Col. Hallsr trial upon the charges
for which he was so summarily dis
missed from the army, bis brother off
GERS have treated him with the most
marked courtesy and Difference.
We are glad to record to the credit
OF the republican party that the Col
onel's trial was obtained through the
efforts Of q republican delegate from
this territory, and that the bill passed
republican senate and was signed
by republican president-showing
that there was desire to do him the
fullest justice, irrespective OF his
politics. The commission that tried
and restored him to the army, with
promotion to the rank ofa colonel
from that of q major, consisted OF
officers who were retarded from pro.
motion By their action in the premises
--pFowing them to have been entire
" unssl6sh in the matter; and this
last act Of the war department in as
signing him to one Of the most i'm
portant commands in the army indi-
Gates that there is everywhere do
sire to make amends as far as posi-.
BILE for the wrong and injustice done
him through all these years. True,
tbsre are assertions atloat to the effect
that the ofIicsrs who have been in 60
tive duty while Col. Haller has baen
out, shink themselves the oEss en-
titled to promotion instead of he.
Ths absurdity Of this proposition
will be sean by rejecting that the
Colonel participated in most Of the
hardest fighting during the rebellion,
and that during ,bs time spoken Of
he has not only been UNJUsrLY de.
priysd Of his position but that those
who have been in boosted "active
duty" all the while have in reality
been doing nothing moro laborious
than giving orders at some military
station. or drawing their salaries.
We do not believe that they are un-
generous enough to entertain such
sentimentss much less express them.
The Coloncl's new command is at
present in the Indian Territory; so
be will Of course bid adisu to Puget
Sound. We trust that the darkest
clouds Of bis life have basn smiled

A HINT. Can the meddlesoms
apology for an editor, who publishes
the "Press," take the hint when we
inform him that he is rapidly earning
the title Of the most persistent liar
on Puget Sound ? This means that
it is about time for him to either com
mence telling something near the
truth or else in mercy spare the pub.
lc the necessity of being inflicted
with his paper. We regret the ne
csssity of using plain terms, or, in.
deed, of noticing him at all. How
ever, as he evidently considers it his
best policy to misreprssent US in
every way, we deem this comment
not only justi6able but pardonable.
We have not the slightest objection
to his publishing . newspaper, but
he does not appear, when speaking
of us, to take even ordinary precau-
ton to inform himself correctly.
AS fast as we point out bis falsehood
in one particular he picks up some.
thiHg else and manufactures some
now faIsehood concerning US, and
heralds it abroad with all the brazen
stupidity of born fool. 1t has long
since become not only monotonous
but disgustingly tiresome. People
say: "Oh, don't ,toop to quarrel with
that fellow; everybody will Snd him
out in time" But it is not in our
nature to tamely submit to such in.
dignitiss, and, if we must turn out
of our proper course to discuss the
subject from time to time, we pro-
pose to prod him 80 deep that it will
hurt if he has any feeling left. In
his last issue he volunteers little
gratuitous information to the public
about our charges for legal advsrtis-
ing, evidently with the intention of
creating q wrong impression in the
minds Of advertisers; the statement
was certainly far from the truth. He
also tries to dig up something with
reference to matters private betwses

lished appeared in the report of a
