Memorial Cards.

The business of selling memorial cards
to the families of deceased persons for
distribution among friends has grown
into proportions of considerable magni
tude. One such family in this city has
already received sample card from five
different firms bearing the name, age and
date of death of deceased, with two
stanzas of commonplace poetry. Three
Of the cards have the same stanzas. The
price ranges from fifteen to twenty five
cents. The firms are furnished death no
tices clipped from newspapers, and after
printing and mailing the cards, expect
either to receive an order for cards or the
return of the sample by mail Columbus

HIDDEN.


Afar on the pathless prairies
The rarest of flowers abound,
And in the dark caves of the valleys
There is wealth that will never be found.
So there are sweet songs in the silence
That never win melt into sound.
The twilight illumines her banners
With colors no artist can teach,
And aloft in the clouds there are sermons
Too mighty for mortals to preach.
So life has its lovely ideals
Too lofty for language to reach.
Afar ON the sea there's music
That the shore never knows in its rest
And in the green depths of the forest
There are choirs that carol unblest.
So deep in the heart there's cadence
And music that's never expressed.

The Largest Organ in the World.

saw a paragraph in one of the east
papers the other day claiming that
the largest organ in the world was in
Brooklyn. and that it had 12O stops,
says A. j. Fisher in the St. Louis

mistake about this. as last year l

was 10 be the largest in the world, and
winch is certainly larger than the
Brooklyn giant Hill & Son were
making the organ for the new town

the contract price was Gl5,OO0, or
nearly $4,000 the largest sum ever
paid for single instrument. 1t has
80 sounding stops and "a new patent

great things are expected. No human

pose.

gett, who has just secured the postal
card contract for the next four years.
is apparently going to perform the job
out of pure benevolence. The govern
ment has called for 100000 cards per
year and according to Mr.. Daggett's
figures he can receive but S159,000
for them, making S636,000 in four
years as gross receipts. If Mr.. Dag
gett shall buy his paper from a mill
the paper IN the roll for 400,O00,0OO
cards will cost him at least
S171,115 per year leaving him
short on paper alone S12,125 per
year, or S48,500 for the term OF his
contract. This takes no account of
printing, cutting. counting, banding
and delivering the cards, which will
be at least $4,000 more. As there is
no opportunity to cheat on the quail
ity of the paper in the cards, and as
the postmaster general has large dis
cretion, the question is asked by part
les familiar with Daggett's schem-
lngs, how it is possible for him to carry
ont the contract.

Gently devastated by fire, is the nome
OF two remarkable milhonaires, busi-

the other Democrat, both of whom

The Republican is A. M. Cannon. He
Is a native Ilinoisan, born at Mon
mouth tifty-fve years ago, He lived
IN Chicago for a time after arriving
at manhood, and was for a couple of
years member of the Chicago board

owned the entire site of the CITY of
Spokane, and the firm of Brown &
Cannon bought two-thIrtls of it for
$1,000. Then they took up home
steads adjoining the city. Is it any
wonder they are rich to-day? Brown,
the Portland school teacher, has, about
81, 500, 900, while Cannon, the sewing
machine man, is reputed to be worth
at least S3,000,000. Brown was con-
tent to sit quietly by and allow his
real estate to make him rich, but the
thrifty Cannon built railroads and
absorbed a goodly share of the water
power here. These gentlemen to-day
possess valuable lots without num-
Der In Spokane, and have all the
money they will ever need. Cannon
owns the controlling interest in three
national banks, and Brown has an
Institution of the same character all
to himself. He was the Washington

A SOU ND DECISION.

AT the term of court Just closed at
1Oysterville, Judge Allyn had a case
before him that, Sc far as we are able
to say, involved very unusual point.
Briefly related, the attendant cir
cumstances were these:
The railroad company in Pacific
county had trouble with Judge Bris-
coe in getting a right of way through
his land. A gentleman named An
drew Olsen, wrote a communication
to the Pacific Journal, setting forth
the pro bono pu6lico side of the mat
ter, favoring the railroad, and oppos-
ing Judge Briscoe's objections.
Sometime after the railroad direc-
tors called upon Mr.. Olsen for his
railroad subscription. He put in a
bill for $500 for the article which the
Journal had published. Payment
being denied, he brought suit, and the
case was tried this week at Oyster
vile.
The point at issue is an interesting
one. Can man, without a previous
agreement, specifically stated, collect
money for a communication to a news
paper, the proprietor of the news
paper admitting of its publication as
a matter of public interest, without
pecuniary benefit to himself, and Civ
ing the discussion the gratuitous use
of his columns?
Very properly, as it seems to us, the
Judge decided against Olsen, instruct
ing the jury to bring in verdict for
the defendant.
To do otherwise would be to seri-
ously cloud the presumed motive and
intention of all contributors to the
public press and set an injurious pre-
cedent.
Judge Allyn is to be commended on
the soundness and clearness of his
views regarding the matter.
