Something About Washing.

a teaspoonfol of borax to each

minutes, adding more liquid soap

through the wrlnger aud hang upon

the same way easily. The soap in
which flanneIs are washed should
contain no rosin, as rosin hardens
the fibre. If this precaution is used

During hot GUNNER days there is
no need Of boiling or scalding

The popular confidence of the
peopleFin the President is a thing
which the managers of both parties
will be wise not to ignore as tha
time approaches for the summer
campaign. Making due allowance
for mistakes of inexperience, and
perhaps OF too great self.reliance, it
is still true that the things for which
the President most stoutly stand, in
politics ard in government. arc the
things which the Intelligence the
virtue and the business sense Of this
country believe in. Any mistake
on this point will be disastrous to
the politicians who make it.--Boston

Seed Tests.

! The following are some of the re-
suits of the experiment made at the
| New York Experiment Station to
determine the influence of age on
the terminating property Of seeds.
The seed used were obtained from
reputable seedsmen. Among those
which retained their terminating
power longest, or several years,
f. were tomato broccoli, beet, pea,
cucumber, muskmelon, ege. plant,
lettuce, turnip and yellow locust
! About half of the locust seed
gcrminated at ten years, and one.
eighth at twenty-seven years. Tur-
nip seed scarcely deteriorated in
seven or eight years, and half grew
at twelve years. Tomatoes showed
Il slight change at fourteen years
and very little at different lesser
periods. Lettuce was good at four
or five years. Muskmelon seed lost
nothing at ten years. and cucumber
endured nearly as we'll. At thir.
teen years half of the cucumber
seed grew, and at nineteen years
seven per cent. Beets began to
lose slightly at six years and from
a tenth to third grew at foul teen
years.
Among the seed which being to
deteriorate largely in two Or three
years were asparagus, thyme endive
eggplant, corn, cabbage, carrot,
cauli flower, celery parsnip. squash
and some others. AS a general
rule seeds of the cabbage tribe
appear to be intermediate between
the longest keepers and those which
quickly deteriorate and broccoli and
kale retain their quality some
y ears.
In all experiment of this charac.
ter it should not be forgotten that
external influences often have o
controlling effect, and the tempera.
ture of the soil, moisture tcmpera-
lure Of the soil moisture, pulvcrizae
lion. etc, may variously after the
periods of termination. The ex
,eriments performed at the station

having been obtained of many sorts,

A WALLA WALLA dispatch of yes
terday announces that Judge Lang
ford had, at Dayton, decided in the
case of the Territory VS.. Jacob Schu
mann, arrested for violation of the
Local Option Law, that that statute
was unconstitutional. 1t is probably
as well that it is so, for the law has in
no instance that we can name served
the purpose for which it was intended,
and its passage has resulted literally
in free whiskey in each precinct that
voted for prohibition.

THAT RESOLUTION. - The Walla
Walla Statesman says that the resolu-
ton censuring Gov. Squire and Judge
Greene was not adopted by the Demo
cratic Territorial Convention, which is
true in point of fact, but the statement
does not express the whole truth. The
resolution was handed to the Chairman
of the Committee on Platform, when
it retired, and was likewise presented
in the Convention, by Mr.. McLane,
before the platform Was reported. 1t
was laid on the table by the COnven-
ton with the express understanding
that it was to be reported subsc-
quently, if it should not be embraced
in the series of resolutions. When the
committee appeared twas re-submit-
ted to the committee with instructions
for a report, and after consideration, Il
substitute was sent in as follows:
Resolued, Tat we view with alarm the
DANCE rous precedent set by the Executive
Of our Territory in the proclamation of
the martial law an the suspension of the
writ OF habeas corpus in the lily Of Seh-
tie last Fall.
That said proclamation WAS unwarrant-
ed bv law and was usurpation OF power
that should be greatly censured by everv
law.abidirg and librrty-loving citizen OF
the Territory.
This substitute was adopted by the
Convention without dissenting voice,
and that is the true history of the
matter.

THE EARTHQUAKE

For number of days the great bur
den Of Eastern dispatches has been
the earthquake of last Tuesday night
which devastated the city Of Charles
ton. South Caroline. land violently ag-
itated many other places along the
southeastern border of the Union. Ii
not among the list OF the most violent
and destructive earth commissions in
history, this will be recorded as one
among the most widely spread shak-
ings known to the civilized world.
The great earthquake of Chill, South
America, which occurred in 1922, was
felt for a Thousand miles along the
Pacific Coast, while it sensibly affected
in IA greater or less degree an area Of
100000 square miles.
But the visitation of Tuesday ex-
cerded Chili's experience ten to one.
Telegrarhic reports show that the
great ground-wave rolled from the At
lantic frontier to a point within the
State of Iowa, and from Lake Erie on
the north to Florida on the south, fur
nishing conclusive evidence that the
shaking extended over space OF more
than "a million square miles. While
the loss of life will not probably exceed
one hundred, the number of the
wounded and manned will reach many
times that number, and the dcstruc-
ton of property will be estimated by
millions of dollars.
1t is remarkable fact that the noted
earthquakes of former times were dis.
tinguished for having caused great
loss of human life rather than for tn,
intrinsic value of property destroyed
Dating from the last century or two
| this rule seems to have been reversed
many instances of severe earthquake.
being now recorded, from year to year
which are noted for great destruction
of property in city, town and country
and vet attended with comparative,
| but Il mcagrc loss of life. The cause
of this rather curious turning of the
tables is attributed to the more sub
stantial architecture of our densely
populated cities and also to the fact
that the poorer classes are not Sc
thickly packed together in limited
quarters, as in ages long past. 4
remarkable feature of the late phe
nomcnon resides in the fact that tn,
wave was profound enough to pass en-
tirely underneath and far beyond the
great Appalachian mountain range tha
forms the Atlantic slope. Thus, iron
a point several hundred miles east %
the summit of the Alleghanies the sue
cessivc shocks chased each other un
interruptedly about half way across
our continent, seemingingly who'll!
unchecked by the greatly diversified
topography of the country. The sta
tistics of ancient and modern times
will show it to be a rare occurrence fo
earthquake shocks, like miners an,
sappers in an army, to exert thei
might even below the granite founda
tons of mountain systems. The PEG
pie of the Pacific coast await in com
mon suspense later developments o
the recent great catastrophe.
