NEWSPAPERS of Washington Ter
ritory that predicted such woful stag
nation of industries and falling off of
immigration in the event of the pas
sage of the woman suffrage bill last
winter, show from week to week how
insincere or short-sighted were their
predictions, in the record of prosperity
that they furnish of the various sec
tions. Real estate is moving, indus
tries are being multiplied, population
is rapidly increasing, and in short
business is moving with accelerated
motion throughout the Territory. All
of these things are especially noted
and boasted by the papers of Spokane
Falls, where the demagogues set UP
the most dismal howl about stagna-
ton and woman suffrage" e."-Telegram

THERE will be three large cities on
the Pacific Northwest coast-Portland,
Tacoma, and Seattle. OF these we
think Portland will grow to the Pacific
what Philadelphia is to the Atlantic,
Tacoma taking the place of New York
and Seattle the position of Boston.
The relative positions, however, will
depend materially on the enterprise of
the citizens in the respective cities.
There is vast empire tributary to all
of them, and in this vast empire there
is sufficient mineral wealth to pay half
the national debts of the world. If
this wealth, with the timber, grain,
fruits and other products, is once
turned toward the three cities it will
make them grow faster than did their
prototypes on the Atlantic.-CGur d

AN umbrella that was brought to
this country from Holland in 1880 is
on exhibition in Albany. 1t bears the
name of an Italian maker. 1t has
been asserted that umbrellas are a
later invention than 1880, and that an
Englishmen first appeared on the
streets of London in the last century
with one to protect him from the rain.
The fact is, however, that umbrellas
were used by the Egyptians 1000
years ago. The umbrellas seen some
times attached to a vehicle in the
streets are seen pictured upon the
wall paintings of ancient Egypt.

THE Milling World tells its readers
how the Hindoo reaps with an iron
blade, six inches long, an inch wide,
and curved like sickle, costing him
four cents. He squats on his heels,
cuts handful, lays it down, and with
out rising off his heels waddles forward
and cuts another. In twelve days he
cuts an acre, and receives five cents a
day, boarding himself. When he
wants to thrash his grain, he drives a
stake in the ground, spreads his grain
around it. ties rope to his bulls
horns and then to the stake, and drives
them around and around till the straw
is tramped very fine into what they
call bhoosa" This is fed to the cat

POTATO FLOUR.-POtato flour is ex-
tensively manufactured in Germany.
1t is used by sausage makers, bakers,
confectioners and cooks for pCwdcr;ng
purposes. Weaving establishments
use it to give their goods glossy ap-
pearance and TO size the threads in the
wool. 1t is also used in the manu-
facture OF starch, potato sugar and
white syrup. In France drying po-
tatoes is quite an industry. The po-
tatocs are pared, sliced, and placed
in brine for short time, then placed
in drying room of 200 degrees until
dried. This farina is used in several

ISSUES BEFORE THE JUDGES
A Father Refusing to Tell the Where
abOuts of His Child Is Sent to Jail.
Relief Denied Bank Because It Failed to
Send Check Through the Clearing
House at the Proper Time.

Judge Howe, about three years ago, gave
decree to Henrietta Purdue divorcing her from
Alfred Purdue. By agreement. their only ehild-a
girl-then three years old, was given to the hus-
band. The case had been forgotten until last
week, ehen Mrs. Purdue petitioned the Judge
for the possession of her daughter. She said
that instead Of the little girl being cared for by
the father she had been placed in charge of it's
grandparents, who were supported by charity
organizations. Further, the mother alleged that
the child was being sent ou5 on the street TO beg
for its indolent father and grandparents. On
this statement The Judge gave her the custody
of the child, and directed the sheriff to notify
Mr.. Purdue of that action, which was done Sat-
her daughter had not been delivered to her, and
Judge Howe told the sheriff to secure the child
and take it to the mother After frutless
search the sheriff made q return to the Judge
that the child had been hid and could not be
found. Yesterday morning Mr.. Purdue
brought into court, when the Judge directed
him to reveal the whereabouts of the little girl
Purdue refused TO obey the order and he was
fined $40 and costs for contempt, and sentenced
to jail until the desired Information forth
coming. Il ought TO make the fine $780," said
the Judge. in fixing the an1ount. "but want
you to understand that you will remain in jail
until the child is delivered to this court The
prisoner made reply, but after he had been
taken down to the sherif's Office he remarked:
II will remain in jail the remainder OF my life
before will tell what l have done with the
girl" The grandparents are obstinate as the
husband about the matter. If Purdue does not
decide to tell who're the girl is in a day or two,
more thorough investigation will be made.

Coy,s Habeas Corpus Case.

The action of District Attorney Sellers IN
demurrine to the application for a writ Of haoeas
corpus in behalf of Coy and Bernhamer when
the matter was before Judge Gresham stopped
the release of the prisoners on bond pending an
appeal TO the Supreme Court. The value or this
proceeding was overlooked in the reports at the
time AS it is customary to let the applicants
for this relief go on bond until the questi on is
determined, it is presumed that course would be
followed in this instance. The government,
though, through Mr.. Sellers entering appear
ance, frustrated the scheme the defendants at
torneys wanted to carry out It is said that
Justice Harlan in his desire TO have his decision
passed upon by the full bench of the Supreme
Court. would have granted a writ of habeas
corpus had the defendants attorneys applied to
him. THE trouble with Coy's lawyers has
BEEN" said an attorney yesterday. s'the knots
they have tied in their own side of the case, and
before the argument occurs before the Supreme
Court expect to hear of more blunders." At

eminent in the future hearing of the case He
has been studying it for some time and two
weeks ago sent to District Attorney Sellers for a
brief of the authorities he used before Justice
Harlan and Judge Gresham.

THE SOLDIERS MONUMENT.
A Little Opposition to Paying the Appropria-
ton Made by the County.


The Soldiers Monument Commissioners were
in session all day yesterday considering the form
and specifications of the contract they are to
make with the architect, Bruno Schmitz. The
amount of his bond was also discussed, but
while they had nearly reached conclusion, the
matter to both features will not be finally de-
cided until to-day, when it is expected the pa
pers will be signed. After this is done
the commissioners think that the be-
ginning of the excavation for the
foundation will be only question of short
time Wit hin four months it is believed that
the work will be progressing rapidly. but before
earth is broken they want TO be sure of sufficient
money to keep the workmer busy until there
can be no doubt of portion of the States APP
preparation being available. They have several
thousand dollars in the hands of the G.. A. r.
monument committee which can be used and
the $4,000 appropriated by Marion county is to
be called for within few days. This appro-
5000 900 should be raised from other
sources. In the appropriation of $500, 900 from
the State the monument commissioners say that
the condition has been fulfilled, but some one
having suggested that State appropriation was
not contemplated when the County Commission
voted the $l00 900 for the work, those officers
have been hesitating somewhat about paying
over any OF the money 1t was agreed to pay
installnenu the monument commissioners will
ask for next week. The County Commissioners
though it is believed. will pay it. It is de-
sired to have this question settled before any
contracts for excavation, foundation or sub
structure let AS soon as the COM
missioners sure of getting the $l0, 900 they
will advertise for bids on those parts of the
work mentioned. Yesterday they approved of

IMPROVING THE WATER SYSTEM.
The Pumping Capacity to Be Increased, and
Larger Mains on the Outskirts.

The Water-works Company intends to make
several important improvements this year,
which Supt. Chris Hackman says are necessary
on account of the rapidly growing city. and the
sompGny's increased patronage. 1--WE are al
ready engaged. he said, Sin putting in two en-
gineHcf thirty i've horsepower each The engines
are on the ground, and will be ready for use in
few days. The two will be capable of pumping
twelve million gallons of water per day. When
we get them up we will be able to pump with
the engines alone, with water power alone,
with both at the same time. The principal OBJ
lect in this addition to the machinery is to
cure power when there is water in the canal.
Our pumping capacity, by this Improvement,
will be increased two million gallons"
What other improvements are projectedp
the reporter asked.
''Quite a number. For one thing, we propose
20 lay larger mains in the outskirts of the city.
The city is spreading rapidly that we want to
meet every demand that may be made us,
and. in order TO do this. we will will put down
eight and ten-inch mains ali around the out
skirts. These will be connected with the princi-
pal mains extending down town. We will also
take up the Illinois-street main, and replace Ii
with one Of twelve inches"
How much will the contemplated improve
ment costf
THAT / cannot state The engines we are
now putting in cost SIS, 900, and the other work
We intend to do will call for big outlay"
