Now the Eastern cities have as
pirations to be the site OF the
worlds fair of 1892. Chicago, ST.
Louis, New York and Washing
ton have already organized and
their committees are sending out
all over the United States circulars
showing their respective merits in
bold face type and that Of their
competitors in lower case roman.
Congress will determine the loca-
ton. st. Louis is further to the
west and centrally located, but in
matter of transportation. the peo-
pie OF Washington could have little
preference. The fair Of 1892 prom
ises to be equal to the famous cen
tennial of 1876.

What the Leader says about the
Prohibition cause: "Nineteen
thousand five hundred and forty
Elk votes for constitutional proh,b-
ition in Washington territory.
More votes than tie Democratic
party polled. Yet the Post-In-
telligencer does not think of ad-
vising the Democrats to disband.
We are on the high road to success.
The day is not far distant when
the measures will carry in this
state. Do the Republicans and
Democrats see the hand writing on
the wall? The people are growing
tired and restless under saloon rule,
Already since the election some
cities are having serious times try
ing to control the results Of the
traffic. Control the saloon! Die
any one ever hear of a community
where the saloon existed, that was
not controlled and every sense o.
decency outraged by this monster
vice! The only breakwater be
tween us now and overwhelming
success is the higa license farce
Its inadequacy is fast being pro
en- and in few years the free PEG
pie of America will declare in ;
forcible manner against this white
slavery.

The Thunder Bird,
REV. NJ. Eclls in Smithsonian Report.


Among the strange links which
bird together the numerous tribes
Of Western America is the myth
of the Thunder Bird. The gencr-
al idea among the Indians is that
thunder is caused by an immense
bird, whose size darkens the heav-
ems, whose body is the thunder
cloud, the Tapping Of whose wings
causes the thunder, and the bolts
of fire, which it sends out Of its
mouth Co kill the whale for its
food are the Lightning. The Ma
kahs and some other tribes, how
ever, invest the animal with two
fold character, human and bird like.
According to them the being is
supposed to be "a gigantic Indian,
named in the dialects OF the var
ious coast tribes kakaitch, THU
kluts, and Tu-tutsh, the latter be-
ing The Nootkan name. lie lives
IN the highest mountains ana MS
food consists Of whales. When lie
wants food he puts on great gar
ment, which is made Of a birds
head, a pair OF very large wings,
and a feather covering for his body,
and around his waist he ties the
lightning fish, which slightly re-
sembics the sea horse. This AMI
mai has a head as sharp as knife,
and red tongue which makes the
fire. He then flies forth, and
when he sees whale he darts the
lightning fish into its body, which
he then seizes and carries to his
home. Occasionally, however, he
strikes a tree and more seldom a
man.

Lessons Of the Vote.


The vote cast in the recent State
election as shown by the Territorial
Canvassing board, is interesting in
various points, as showing growth,
etc. The total vote of the Territory
was 5S,55S. OF this 37,746 votes
were cast on the West side of the
Cascade mountains, a gain of 9,4SO
over that of 1888. On the East
side of the range the vote was 23,-
TAG, gain of 1927 over that OF
1888.
This shows that the West side of
the Cascades cast POS more votes
this year than the East side;
while in 1883 it cast 4,715 more
votes than the East side. There
were 55,351 votes cast for the loca-
ton of the State Capital, of which
Olympia received %, 400, Yakima
1873, Ellensburg 1892, Scatter
ing 1916.
The result of the Territorial can
vass showed the new State constitu-
Iion to be adopted by very large
majority; it also showed that tile
people were not in favor of prohibi
ton by about four to one, and that
the same was true in relation to
woman suffrage which were voted
upon as independent propositions;
and yet the result disclosed also that
that there is a formidable minority
in favor Of these propositions.
The canvassing board further
shows that the entire Republican
State ticket was elected to the re-
spective offices by majorities rang
ing from over Z 700 to about 5000,
and that certificates of election
have been issued TO them.
Another lesson of the vote is,
that the legislature is composed of
105 members, in both houses nine
ty-nine are Republicans, '.and six
are democrats, one in the Senate
and five in the House. A large
sprinkle of the minority would be
more Neutrality-suspicious. Jour
