The Walla Walla Journal says
that the convicts in our penitentiary

of the country except those publish

it says is "a precaution considered
necessary for their safe keeping" 1t

An attempt was made at the ELL
ensburg convention, by a gentleman
from Spokane Falls, to worm in an
expression of confidence in Delegate
Voorhees,, on the statehood ques-
ton; but the committee on resolu-
tons promptly tabled it. Had it
been presented in the open conven-
ton it would have met with par
tlcularly unanimous rebuke. Mr..
Voorhees, unfaithfulness to his
pledges on this statehood question
is the one burning disgrace attached
to his public career. 1t brands his
election to congress as the result of
a confidence game. To even hint at
an expression of confidence in him
on this question, IN any representa-
tive body in the Territory, would be
sure to call forth singing rebuke.
The Portland Board of Trade is
making a most singular and silly
move in connection with the proposed
naval station for the northwest. 1t
has put forth a manifesto extraYa-
gantly lauding the Columbia river,
and at the same time yiciously at
taeking Puget Sound. 1t may be
right and proper to make the most of
their case in behalf of the Columbia
river, but we venture to predict that
their charges against Puget Sound
will react upon themselves. The na-
val commission is composed of gen
tleman whose ambition will be to se-
lect site that Will vindicate their
Judgment in all the years to come.
1t is ill-becoming for the people of
any eligible location to 90 out of
their way to misrepresent other local
tiles. We believe the only result
however, will be to prejudice their
own case.

Miss Tillie J. Martin, of Indian
apolis, Indiana, has been elected as
sistant principal and head of the de>
partment~ of sciences in the girls
high school Of San Francisco. This
summer Miss Martin was made a
member of the National Council of
Education, and is the only lady en-
ioying this distinction. 1t is also
worthy of note in this connection
that all the teachers in the Portland
schools, with six exceptions, are Ia
dies; and that both in Seattle and
Tacoma the city superintendents are
ladies. Very evidently the talents of
women are appreciated here on the
coast.

The Vancouver Register favors the

the discussion recently opened up
about the division of the territory,

As the Indians hunted them, the
race Of bison would probably have
lasted forever, but about 1866 the
white men turned their attention to the
shaggy monsters Of the plains. Large
eastern firms organized hunting par.
ties and paid the shooters S2. so for
each bison where he lay dead on the
plains then went TO southern Ne
braska and became a professional
hunter, The bison consisted of two
large divisions, the one living in the
south and the other in the north.

was along the Republican river and
Its branches in Nebraska. Tie Indians
