Fashionable modstes declare that not in

white toilets been so great as during the pres

are rich and beautiful beyond compare.

majority of people have an idea that
thermometer that can be purchased for a
quarter is just as correct as one that costs a
dollar or more. This is a great mistake.
The best thermometer is fruit of the best
scientific work. The interior space must be
perfect in conformity and perfect vacuum
The regulation of zero and other marks
should be perfect. The glass should be per-
fectIy annealed and more than that should
be regulated for its own expansion and con-
traction as separate from that of the mercury

sickness or destitution which may come to
their knowledge, or they can notify the chair

ATTACKING TEE POoI SYSTEM.

port which declares

suits from the unreasonable action OF
railroad pools. which We repeat persist
emily discriminate against our mer-
chants and manufacturers, and this TO
the extent that manufacturers are
driven from this city To non competing

This 10 the old complaint, this time
coming from high quarters. 1t Is sim
ply an objection to the enforcement by
railroad companies, through POOLING
combinations, of the odious nd unjust
practice Of charging more for carryin4
freight shorter than for longer dis

for carrying simil.r freight over tn

They MEAN BUSINESS Yesterday
morning we published synopsis of the
articles of incorporation of the "Seattle
Lumber Company" And now it ap-
pears that this company means to do
something besides incorporate. 1t has
already acquired mill site and large
bady of land adjacent on Eagle Har-
Dor, and yesterday purchased from An,
gus Macintosh 10000 acres of timber
land in Mason County, paying therefor
100000 IN gold coin. 1t is estimated
that there are 10000, 600 feet of mer-
charitable timber now standing on this
land. The COMPANY will build a large
sawmill on Eagle Harbor, about eight
miles from Seattle, and go into the
lumber manufacturing business on a
large scale. The gentlemen interested
in the enterprise are practical business
men Of large capital and resources, and
their investments here will prove
great benefit to the entire Sound
country, and be very remunerative to
the gentlemen who put their money
| into the enterprise.
