OLYMPIA. Nov. %, l,


l received the INDEPENDENT this
evening, and find it full of items of
items of interest to me. sincerely
thank you for your kindness in send
ing me these copies of your paper.
Next week I return home, and Of
course will read myi INDEPENDENT
there. Well, I wish you could have
been here to attend the ratification
meeting held at Columbia Hall in
honor of the passage of the women's
suffrage bill. We had a great time.
On the next evening came the ban
auet, and rest assured all hands en-
joyed themselves hugely. Among the
principal speakers 1 might mention
Judge Dennison, w. H. White, Gov.
Newell and Mrs. Hale. There were
many others who responded to toasts,
and all passed off merry as a marriage
bell.
1 enclose you a memorial for the di-
vision of the Territory that was intro
duced on Friday last by T. j. Smith

up more feeling in the Council than
all the measures that have been in
troduced this session put together.
1t was promptly ordered to lie on the
table, and motion to print was
promptly voted down. Nevertheless,
it was printed by interested parties,
and this gave rise to very much feel
ing, and resulted in the appointing of
a committee to investigate the mat
ter. The committee has not reported,
and probably will not, for prudential
reasons. All the same, some men will
be counted out when the time rolls
around for another organization ofour
legislature, and "don't you forget it,"
High license is dying very hard.
StitzePs bill was killed in the coun-
ell, but to-day Mr.. Edmiston of Gar
field county introduced bill of SINH
lar import. 1t was vigorously OPP
posed by Cation on the ground that
sufficient notice had not been given;
but the bill was admitted, and Mr..
Cation introduced his protest, to be
spread on the journals. Mr.. Edmis-
toms bill provides that the lowest Ii
cense shall be $500, and can be graded
up to $500. AT present the outlook is
that it will pass the council.
The Sisters fair is in full blast here
now. The fair is well attended, not
withstanding the fact that consider
able sectarian prejudice exists here.
The Sisters are building a very fine
academy here, which, when finished,
will be an ornament to. Olympia.
Some day next week / will mail you
Caton's memorial far the admittance
of the Territory into the Union as a
State. This memorial is very ably
written.
Clarke county is well blessed with
measures to borrow money. 1 tell
you am opposed to SO much of that
Bind of legislation, and 1t inevitably
leads to high taxes and hard times.
Still, in my view of the matter, the
loan for the court house is all well
enough, and SO is the one for the
school district in Vancouver, but for
country districts te,make a plunge in
this direction is 6ttle too much of
good thing.

There has developed project among
national democrats to divide the state
OF Texas into two or four states, in or
der to increase the democratic power
in congress. Texas may be too large
for convenient state government, but
as the democratic party is too small
the thing just averages now to suit re-
publican politicians.

Capt. Noyes, who sailed for China
Oct. odd, had the misfortune to lose
his chief officer and three men, on
Nov. 9th. One fell overheard, and the
boat with three men sent to the res
cue swamped, and all in her were lost.
Capt Noyes was left with only six
men, when he put in at the Sandwich
Islands.

The Mexican governor of Chichua-
hua has issued proclamation, offer
ing $3.50 for each Apache Indian scalp.
He also invites everybody to go into
the hunt, and offers breech-load
and cartridges free of cost. The Mex

terminate those Indians without show
ing them any mercy.

President Arthur has pardoned Ser
geant Mason, the soldier who shot at
the assassin Guiteau in prison. 1t is
stated that the pardon Of Mason
merely recites the trial and sentence.
and that the President has good and
sufficient reasons to grant full and
unconditional release.

The legislature was expected to adj
journ to-day, the Goth of its session.
During the last few days much bust
ness has been accomplished. Many
bills were unceremoniously killed,
and some went through that ought to
have been killed.

Writing Of the work Of the WASH
tngton legislature, the Tacoma Led
gers correspondent says: The rev.
snue law has been submitted to joint
committee. The principal changes
which may possibly be made in that
are the exemption OF church property
and the property of charitable institu-
tions and change to secure the taxa
ton Of railroads, especially Of the
Northern Pacific lands. Apropos OF
this matter, it is reported that bill
will be brought In to tax the company
ON its gross earnings in lieu Of al other
taxes-some such law as IL In force in
Minnesota. This would seem equita-
BILE for the company and the Territory.
Taxation Of the granted lands will A.
ways be resisted by the company, and
II : law could be framed by which
taxation could be enforced, Il would
be impossible TO get fair assessment
