days recreation on Black river, hunt
ing and fishing.
Mr.. George E. Rhodes, attorney, has
left for his old home in Kansas, to set.
tie up important business there.
Since the recent showers the dust
and smoke has disappeared, and now
the air is fresh and pure, the skies un.
clouded, making everything pleasant
and delightful.
The hop-pickers are getting the
camping outfits ready for Puyallup,
and many have already left Centralia.
Large parties of Indians passed through
here last week.
Deer are coming into market again.
Mr. L. Mills knocked over two fine big
bucks the other day on the Chehalis,
near town. Grouse are also plentiful
and in good condition.
Mrs. Lizzie Beall, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Elkanah Mills, has under
gone Il very serious surgical operation
at her home here. DR.. Eitel, aided by
other medical men, performed the op-
Grafton.
Mr.. George Mills, one of Centralia' s

a wonderfully healthy place, which is
matter of great value to those who
must spend months at the Capital en-
gagged III arduous brain-work. tits the
most easily accessible by rail or water
of any city i'll the Territory. 1t is the
center of the finest belt of agricultural
and mineral land I'm the Territory,
which must tend also to make it the
center, also, of the greatest population
1t is settled by a class of intelligent
and prosperous people, who will make
the stay of our LAWMAKERS among us
very pleasant. Finally, when it comes
to vote, Seattle, Tacoma and every
other Sound city will remain loyal to
Olympia, while Spokane Falls, Walla
Walla and Eastern Washington, if not
entirely with us, wK not and cannot,
from the very nature of their location,
be united upon any other point.
These i'll brief are my views on the
Capital question, as look at it in the
light OF all conflicting interests, and
the best interests of all.

EDITOR EVENING OLYMPIAN

EDITOR EVENING OLYMPIAN:
AS you got very sarcastic in yester-
days OLYMPIAN, at harmless article
that appeared in the Tacoma Ledger
about Olympia and the Capital ques-
ton, allow me to explain: In my use
of the word mossback," had no ref
erence, whatever, to the generous and
public spirited old settlers here. No
one appreciates their labors, or their
expenditures in behalf of our city more
than l do. l see the lasting inn
provements which their enterprise and
their money have made on every hand,
and l have never written an article for
an Eastern or Western paper, but what
I have commended it. Nor does any
one appreciate more fully than do,
the efforts which you are making to
give to Olympia live daily paper, at
heavy outlay of labor and money. l
realize the fact that you are among
those who have borne the heat and
burden of the day." What / meant to
express mainly, was my own particular
views about the relative value of the
Capital to any city, which would apply
equally against Ellensburg, Yakima or
any city in the Territory. But when
it comes to arguing this Capital ques-
ton in the interest of all the people OF
Washington Territory, regardless OF
the views of the people of any particu-
lar section, or their financial interests
in the matter, l contend that Olympia
| is, from the very nature OF things, the
place where the Capital should be per-
manently located.
Olympia is situated on the great in

OLYMPIA, w. T., Aug. 80, 1889.
EDITOR OLYMPIAN:
Ever since the question OF moving
the Capital from its present location
at Olympia has been agitated, consid-
erable stress has been laid on the I'M
portance of having the Capital CEN
trally located, some ever going SO far
Us to say that it would be necessary to
make the little hamlet of. Pasco the
hub Of the new State because, forsooth,
it happened to be situated near the
center of the present Territory.
Pasco, however, seems to have
dropped out of sight since the adjourn
ment OF the Convention, and accord
ing to the OregoniGn, the contest has
simmered down to two cities, viz
Olympia and Ellensburg.
In order that the readers of the
OLYMPIAN may be fully posted in re-
gard to the Capital question, ] would
respectfully refer them to the following
States OF our Union where the Capitals
are situated sometimes several hun.
dred miles from the center of the
State. Just let us examine the posi-
tions OF the following Capitals as to
location, viz: st. Paul, Minnesota
Topeka, Kansas Baton Rouge or New
Orleans, Louisiana; Madison, Wiscon-
sin; Lansing, Michigan; Frankfort,
Kentucky Nashville, Tennessee; Jack
son, Miss; Montgomery, Alabama
Tallahassee, Florida; Atlanta, Georgia
Annapolis, Maryland Augusta, Maine
Concord, New Hampshire; Boston,
Mass. Montpelier, Vermont; Albany
New York; Harrisburg, Penn; Rich
mond, Virginia; Wheeling, West Vir-
ginia; Hartford, Connecticut; Provi-
dence, Rhode Island; Santa Fe, New
Mexico; Lincoln, Nebraska; Des
Moines, Iowa; Denver, Colorado; Sa-
lem, Oregon; Sacramento, California
Carson City, Nevada.
Here are twenty-nine out OF the
thirty-eight States, where we find the
Capital anywhere but in the center,
and yet we find people objecting to
Olympia, although it is at a rough cal
culation only
| ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE MILES
From 'the center of the State. BY
making careful examination, anyone
can readily see that Olympia is as neal
the center of our State as are most oi
the Capitals mentioned above, and il
would be well for voters to examine
this matter before Tuesday, October
lst, 1889, and vote accordingly.
