a Missouri legislator is afraid of BIZ
cycles, and has introduced bill to pro-
hibit their use outside of the corporate

Of course this reads very fair and
smooth, but let us look at it a moment
and see what we can make out of it. BY
tearing the right hand end off of this pa
per, which apparently is a contract to
sell his device, with perhaps small or
no financial obligation, it becomes a
prOmissory note for $475, all properly
signed and witnessed.
Verify the trick is an old one, but yet
there are many who will listen to the
seductive stranger and are made to suf.
fer the penalty.

The republican senate is holding up
nearly 800 of Mr.. Cleveland's appoint
ments. Such thing, heretofore, has
been unheard of. When the democrats
came INTO power they confirmed Mr.
Arthur's nominations up To the very
day that he retired, and Mr.. Cleveland
even commissioned a dozen or more of
Mr.. Arthur's appointments.

The four new states of Washington
Territory, Montana, North Dakota and
South Dakota will form a group in the
northwest that will in time be power
in the land. The two Dakotas have
10000 square miles OF territory, and
this is to be cut equally in two. The
population of the two states is about
100000 Each state will be as large as
Illinois, with enough territory left to
cover Vermont, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts. South Dakota lies di-
rectly north of Nebraska, and North
Dakota Will extend to the British line.
Montana is west of North Dakota and
contains l46,0S0 square miles. Its es-
timated population is 10000. Wash
ington has an area of $50, and is
about the size of Missouri. Idaho lies
between Montana and Washington. The
four new states will be larger than Mis-
souri,, Iowa, Nebraska, kansaS and the
Indian Territory, with enough left to
make a state the size of Pennsylvania.
The four states can sustain a popula-
tion of thirty millions.

THE state officers who were elected on
the 1st inst, will enter upon their du-
ties on the Monday following the issue
of the presidents proclamation declaring
the state of Washington admitted into
the Union, unless otherwise provided in
the constitution. The constitution pro-
vides that the terms of the supreme
Judges shall commence as soon as the
state shall have been admitted into the
Union, which will be on the day on which
the president issues his proclamation.
No provision was made expressly stating
when the terms of the superior judges
shall begin, but it is understood that
they will enter upon their duties on the
the same day, but will not do probate
business until the courts have expired
on the second Monday in January, 1891.
They can appeal or review the decisions
of the probate judges before that date,
however. The legislature will convene
on November 6, 1889, but unless the
president shall have declared Washing
ton admitted as a state before that date
can do no other business except to elect
two United States senators. The mem
bers of the House Of representatives have
been elected for but one year; their sue
cessors will be elected on the first Tues
day in November, 1890, and will serve
two years. The senatorial districts shall
be numbered consecutively, and the SEN
ators elected at the first election in the
odd numbered districts viii go out of
Office at the end of the first year, and
the senators elected in the even num-
bered districts will go out of office at the
end of the third year. In the "a dis
tricts there are 35 senator's; IS in the odd
numbered and z in the even numbered
districts. Whitman county is numbered
"5," and its three senators elected at
the late election will, accordingly, hold
Office but one year, while their successors
will serve two years. All state officers,
except supreme judges, will hold Office
for three years; the terms of the SUI
preme judges, two of whom will hold of
flee for three years, two for five years
and one for seven years. will be decided
by lot. The chief justice shall be the
one having the shortest time to serve;
the other judges shall decide between
the two serving for two years.

Empire State of Washington.
Real Estate journal. |


Thanks to the brave and sturdy pion-
GERS for their persisteney in staying
with the new Empire State of the Pacific
that is soon to be. Had they not done
this for the past fifty years there would
be no state of Washington to-day.
Following the trail Of Lewis and
Clarke the early settlers headed their OK
teams for Puget Sound. They climbed
range after range of mountains and tray
ersed alkali plains, which they could
only measure by the weeks required to
cross them. And when they reached the
painless fir forest on the shore of the
Sound they encountered the greatest
danger Of all. Smooth spoken agents
Of the British government met these
emigrants and painted bright word pic
lures of the Willamette valley, south Of
the Columbia. Some were tempted and
turned aside from their destination. A
resolute few pressed on to the Sound
and claimed that territory in the name
of Uncle Sam and the stars and stripes
It was the British plan the Columbia
river should be the northwestern bound
airy line between the two countries
That government aimed at possession of
that magnificent corner of the republic
The Hudson Bay company's posts were
scattered along the shores of the Sound
Old Mack Simmons, when the British
agents reasoned with him, how much
better land he would find south of the
Columbia, declared he would make his
home north of the river if he had to set
tie on a sand bar. He pushed forward
and staked out his claim under the
shadow of the British flag at Olympia,
then a fur company trading post. The
issue was raised into national promin-
ence; after long argument and some
talk of flight" a row Of stakes along the
49th parallel became the boundary of the
United States instead of the Columbia
river, 200 miles south.
