Minnesota, which has always reRared
herself as the head and shoulders Of the
great Northwest, il considerably put out
because at the organization of the North
western association of members of con-
Rress she was declared Ineligible on tho
score Of being too far East. Being thus
ruled out of the Northwest, and not wish

Minnesota, according to the Minneapolis

all the other states are requested to rec-

The marvellous ease upon tho
act of rolling of n log, seems to he dupli-
Gated SO far as absence of effort In con-
cerned when the conditions are reversed.
A case of this kind occurred at M~arsland,
Neb., last Saturday. A number OF men
were engaged i'm moving n t~wenty-foot log
that measured twenty-five inches at tho
butt. when il got the hest OF them and
started down u big hill. Mrs. George OLA
bauGh happened to he i'm front of the log,
and seeing no way of escape lay down
fiat and the log passed over her, she being
SD near the center that both ends were
held clear of the ground. She came out
somewhat bruised, Put with no bones
broken, and a glass of hot water with q
stick i'm il, about the size of the log itself,
set her all right.
Washington can boast OF only one house
of representatives, but on the other hand
some of the new Legislators now at
Olympia can i'm n few particulars knock
out anybody at Helena and not half try.
Representative Hutchinson has introduced
. resolution asking the boarding house
Keepers OF Olympia to rent rooms to tho
Legislators at reduced rates. Similar bills
shold he introduced without delay relative
to the bartenders, hackmen, ~tailors, min
listers, Chinese laundrymcn. and boot
blacks doing business ut Olympia. In
time no doubt the law will compel thea
tcrs and street cars to charge Legislators
as well as children only half price. Those
who have started this reform. like all rad
ical reforrners, are the objects of more or
less CRITICISM. and we are not surprised to
find the East WashinOfOnidn suggesting
that Representative Hutchinson would
serve his constituents better raising cab
bage than i'm making laws. We trust that
Mr.. Hutchinson and his friends will pay
no attention to such slurs, hut keep right
On frankly asking for what they want I'M
til the end of the session.
