BAKING POWDER.
WIZ the "Royal" is the Best.

ROYAL the best baking powder because absolutely
pure and wholesome of the strength and maintains
its full leavening power until used.
There is no other pure baking powder offered to the
public all others contain either lime alum,-delete-
rious both Lime presence results
from impure cream of tartar; alum is added to give
strength the object of the manufacturers in both
is to produce a cheap powder.
The Royal Baking Powder is exclusively made from
cream of specially refined and prepared for its
by patent processes by which the tartrate of lime
and all other impurities totally removed. Its
absolute purity is guaranteed by its manufacturers
and certified by all prominent chemists and scientists
who have made it the subject of investigation
The cream of tartar of the market from which
other baking powders are made has been tested by
Profs. Chandler and Love- for the New York State
Board of HEALTH and found to contain impurities from
three to per of its weight 1t is there
fore absolutely impossible that these powders should
be pure, while is equally impossible for the Royal
being made it is from chemically pure materials,
to be otherwise than absolutely pure.
There being inert matter in the ingredients of the
Royal Baking Powder, higher strength is, of course
attained and, the value of the materials being
ascerainable to atom compound possible that will
maintain its full strength until used leave resduum in
the bread and which all chemical tests and practical
peence have proved to be the perfection of leavening
agencies This combination in the Royal makes it
the best and the only perfect baking powder aainable
Prof Mott late Government Chemist says: Because
Of the facilities that company have for obtaining per
fectly pure of tartar and for other de-
pendent upon the constituents used in its manufacture
the proper proportion Of the same; and the method Of
its preparation the Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly
the purest and most reliable baking powder offered to

MIR. Sparks Wants to Know the Res.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
GENERAL LAND OFFICE.}
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. %, 1886.
To Registers and ReceirerS, TnHed
States Land Offices:
The returns from many District
Land Offices show that the regulations
of this Office requiring applicants I'M
der the homestead, pre-emption, TIM
ber-culture and other laws, to state in
their applications the place of their
actual residence and their postoiiice
addresses are not being satisfactorily
complied with, particularly in cases in
which residence upon the land or resi-
dcncc within the State or Territory is
not required.
1t is often impossible, and in timber
culture, desert land, and timber land
entries especially so, to ascertain from
the papers in the case the place OF res
idencc Of claimants, and personal SER
vice of notice cannot be obtained, for
this reason, in many cases in which it
is important that personal service
should be had. Necessary investiga-
tions are seriously impeded for want
of this essential information.
You will hereafter see, in all cases,
that the place of the actual residence
and postoffice addresses of applicants
are properly stated in their applica-
tons. 1t is not sufficient to state that
the place of residence is in town or
city; the same must be stated, and if
in II city, the street and number must
be given. II the residence of the APP
plicant is in the country in any of the
public lands in States or Territories, the
section, township and range upon
which applicant resides must be given
You will not hereafter receive tim
ber-culture, desert land, or other ap-
plications in which this requirement is
not complied with, but all such appli-
cations will be returned for correction
to the parties presenting or transmit
ting the same, and will not be placed
on record until the omission is sup
piled.
Applicants will also be advised that
change of residence subsequent to al
lowance of application must be re-
ported to the local officers, and, when
so advised of such change of residence,
You will make proper note of the same.
In connection with the above, you
are directed to hereafter note upon the
paper itself, in case of every filing, de-
claration or application, (where the
same is not executed before you and
presented by the applicant in person,)
the name of the party by whom the
same was presented or transmitted.
You will strictly enforce the forego-

JUDGE Hoyt to-day rendered his de-
cision in the matter of injunction by
the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, restraining the Postal Telegraph
Company from using the railroads
right of way for the construction of
the line of telegraph, by dissolving the
temporary injunction. The question
was ably argued last week by the OPP
posing counsel, and the learned Judge
took ample time to consider the matter
in all its bearings. In the rendering Of
his decision, he took occasion to re-
mark that the two cases in point, cited
by Mr.. Mcknight, attorney for the
railroad, one of which was by the emil
nent Judge Wallace and the other the
no less able Judge Drummond, had
not apparently been well considered.
Doubtless these jurists will be more
careful, hereafter, if they ascertain the
fact that their work is likely to pass
such a searching review. The Judge,
it is said, was very positive in affirm
ing the "rights of the people" which
seems to be somewhat of a new depar-
ture in Washington jurisprudence, and
is probably due to the present plain
handwriting on the wall. When the
Judge retires from Office and reposes
on the honors of long and profitable
term Of civil service, these anchors to
the windward" may, in the exigencies
of time prove safe and convenient
mOOrings for a vaulting ambition.

A Mr.. A. A. Smith, of Seattle, has
lust received from the East a gas-en-
CINE steamer, which is exciting con-
siderable interest in that city. 1t is de-
scribed as whitehall boat eighteen
feet long, with broad beam and fine
lines. The fuel used is naptha, which
is pumped into the heating coil, where
it is expanded into gas, which is
used in cylinder the same as steam.
1t is not necessary to carry any water
or other fuel. The little craft has
tanks capable OF carrying thirty hours
fuel, the expense for fuel being fifteen
cents per hour. On a recent trial trip,
from Seattle, with a party of seven
persons, she ran to Milton in twenty
minutes and to Alki Point in forty
minutes. Mr.. Smith states that she
will make seven miles an hour, with
no smoke, no ashes and no disagree
able odor. A pressure can be gotten
up in two minutes sufficient to put the
boat in motion.

OLYMPIA, FRIDAY EVENING, nov. 10, 1856.
The Public Surveys.

There has been considerable com
plant from claimants residing in all
parts OF the Territory regarding the
neglect of the Government to extend
the public surveys over settled portions
OF the public domain, Il neglect
which retards the increase of our agri-
cultural population, and the develop
ment of our true source of wealth more
than any other cause. There are thou
saads OF acres in the Territory which
would be taken for actual settlement if
they Wee surveyed. As it is, no one
Cares to take the squatter's chances OF
settling upon and improving what
may prove, when survey is made.
to be school lands. With view to
aid those directly interested III having
the surveys extended over lands upon
which, or near which, settlements have
already been made, we have called
upon the Surveyor General of this
Territory, who takes deep interest in
the matter, and he will do all in his
power to impress upon the General
Government the necessity Of extending
the surveys over such lands i'll this
Territory as are needed for actual set
Element. He informs us that before
the survey of any township can be
considered, it is required that petit
ton for such survey should be for
warded to the Surveyor General, signed
so far as practicable by all of the actual
settlers in the township, giving gen
eral description of the character and
condition of the land. Ii any portion
is unsurveyable, give the reasons why
it is impracticablc or unfit for survey !;
what portions are good agricultural
lands that can be cultivated, and par
ticularly whether any portion is tim
bered and more valuable for timber
than for agricultural purposes; what
portions are mountainous, swampy,
rocky, etc, and whether there are in
dicatiOns of minerals of any kind.
Give also the number Of actual settlers
and their post-office address and in
what part of the township they are To-
Gated, the character and condition of
their inhabitancy of the land, the ex-
tent and value of their improvements,
the uses made of the land and the
quantity under cultivation. The stu
alton of the township in regard to
lines of public communication and the
progress of settlement of the country
should be described, and all facts and
circumstances stated which will enable
an intelligent judgment to be formed
in regard to the propriety of making
the survey applied for. State also the
extent of settlements in adjoining
townships, surveyed or unsurveyed.
1t will be seen from this that the ini-
tiative steps to secure the requisite aid
rest with the settlers themselves.
There is very little doubt but that if
they make a proper showing, liberal
appropriation will be made, and the
work vigorously prosecuted next sea-
son.

DEPRESSION IN CANADA.-An Otta-
wa dispatch of the 18th instant says
that the annual statement of the Min
lister of Finance detailing the revenue
and expenditure of the Dominion OF
Canada for the fiscal year ending June
3Oth last, which will be published to-
day, shows deficit OF $5,SOO,OOO. The
revenue during the year was only S33,
23O,65O, while the Government ex-
pended $39,OOO,OOO. The treasury is
nearly empty and the Minister of Fl
nance will shortly be forced to float Il
new loan to enable the Government to
meet current expenditures. Never
were the finances of Canada in more
deplorable condition.

CENTRALIA ITEMS.
Correspondence of the Washington Standard.


J. ii. Roundtree and DIR. Green are
converting the saloon building into
Il drug store, making three in the
place.
There is an important law suit 60
ing on here, but as it is to be decided
upon tomorrow we will report the
whole in another weeks notes.
The weather is heavy and dull, and
there is every symptom of Il fall of
snow. Perhaps Thanksgiving may
look like an old-fashioned one, after
all.
The new store house, being put up
by Mr.. Novy will be a great improve
ment. We shall he glad to see its
completion, and have it well stocked
with desirable dry-goods, etc.
Changes are always taking place
here. Our respected Ex-Governor and
wife leave for Olympia to-day. We
are very sorry to lose them. They
have rented their pretty home here to
DIR. Green, new acquisition to the
town.
We are sorry to report an acct
dent happening to Tom Kennedy near
Tenino. He has received bad cut in
the knee by Il glancing blow from an
axe. DIR. Newell, who is in attendance,
says it is bad cut and will call for
care.
Mr.. Cornell, who used to keep hotel
in Olympia, has rented the Centralia
House here, and takes possession to-
day. Being a good man and one used
to the business, We bespeak for him Il
good share of the public custom. Sew
eral of the old-timers are going to take
their Thanksgiving dinner with him.
Yesterday was quite a red-lettcr day
in Ccntralia. We had two weddings.
DR.. Russell was married to Mrs. Jennie
Long, daughter of Mr.. Clarke, an old
resident of this county. They re-
turned to his home in Centralia i'll the
evening, and we wish them health and
happiness. Frank Eugene, quite n
young man, but one who is well known
here as good, industrious and moral
young man, also took himself wife.
Mrs. Jones performed the ceremony at
10 A. NJ. 1t seems the father and
mother of the lady are strangers here,
lust on visit to Il married daughter
and were averse to the marriage. AZ
ter the ceremony, poor Frank was Sc
verely whipped by the Infatuated
father who held six-shootcr over his
head. Frank, however, has many
friends who will not see him hurt, and
the turbulent man has been advised
to quietly go back to his home with
his two remaining daughters or he
might be invited to remain longer
than he would wish. Success to the
brave young couple. ~

THE " IMPREssIBLE CONFLICT. The
Blaine Journal, of the 18th instant,
says that on the previous Tuesday
night another gang of Chinese, about
dozen in number, crossed the line
from British Columbia at that place.
They came on the New Westminster
road and passed Byron Kingsley's at
about half-past 8 o'clock, all loaded
with packs strung over their Shout
ders on poles. 1t is not at all impro-
BILE that coolie smuggling is matter
of very frequent, if not of almost con-
tinual, occurrence at that place, as
there is absolutely nothing to prevent
their crossing the line in the timber
east of Blaine, or passing along the
Westminster road late at night and on
toward Whatcom, at any time, free
from any likelihood of detection, and
with no fear of legal hinderance if they
were detected. There is not an Amer
can customs official nearer than Sc
home, nearly thirty miles away, and
only one there. Two weeks ago the
Blaine constable arrested two Chinese
who were passing through on Sunday
forenoon from British Columbia on
their way south, and took them before
Justice of the Peace Rogers, but the
justice said he could do nothing with
them, and they were escorted to the
national boundary and turned loose,
free to come back at their pleasure.
