IN Important Suggestion

ii necessity has hitherto existed
for the connection Of Olympia with
Gray's Iarbor, II railroad. that neccs-
eity j. rendered tcn-!old more impcra-
tive, and the demand fox immediate
action UNNECESSARILY increased, by tho
placing q steamship line on the
route between san Francisco and
Gray's Harbor
Posters announce that the steam
ship Point Iona viii leave San Fran
cisco :or the IIarEor il Z few days, and
will thereafter ply regularly every two
weeks between those ports, carrying
passengers and freight. This an
nouncement Will AT once stimulate tho
efforts Of rival communities to obtain
direct communication with route
that places Puget Sound two DAYS
nearer San Francisco than by the
roundabout way OF the Straits of Fuca.
II means that Olympia must be up
and doing if she would not have the
trade that is naturally tributary to
her diverted TO other points. The OPP
portunity is presented 10 her first, bv
her availability as 4 direct point, be-
ing the nearest place on the Sound
that can he connected by Gray's Har-
Dor. II it is not now accepted, the
prize will not long go begging for .
taker. We have a beginning already
made by the Puget Sound and Cheha-
lis Valley road. 1t only needs sub
stantial encouragement. Thus far we
have endeavored to secure the aid
from abroad. 1t may be extended and
1t may not. Suppose it is not. What
are We going TO do about it? Is it
necessary to state what should be
done? Mus. We urge n drowning
man to cling TO the life-ralt when it is
thrown TO him? Are We suggesting
anything beyond the bounds of reason,
when We state that Olympia and Thurs
ton county can build the short strip Of
railroad necessary 10 connect with this
route, and finish the hotel as well.
without feeling any serious financial
strain?
How long would those crazy Seattle
real estate boomers" hesitate on n
proposition like this? How long
would Tacoma take to foot up the
profits as we'll az the discontinue Of
her enemies, b. such bit OF enter
prise? Ii will no: do for. us all to be
Artemus Wards. II our wife's rela-
tives will not fight We must get in n
few icks for ourselves. Ii we are
afraid that come one will make money
by staying out, let us all"put up" togcth-
or, share and share alike, and set the
ball in motion. 1t is quite evident
that the old-time policy will not 10
for the present day. nor can we ac-
complish anything without united and
harmonious action. God helps those
who help themselves. Just now Prov
idence smiles on us ~ a community.
This is the suspicious time Which
taken at the food" may lead to fame
and fortune. Ponder the suggestion.

A Malicious Report.

The report, apparently current in
! the cast, that the boarding houses OF
Olympia have formed n corner on
rooms .or the purpose OF extorting
money during the session Of the Con-
stitutional Convention is, no doubt
started with motive, the purpose be-
ing to create sentiment against
Olympia as the proper place for the
capital. The Board OF Trade OF the
city has already undertaken the task
OF providing suitable accommodations
for the delegates, and no advantage
will be taken of them on account Of
the scarcity of rooms.
Other cities have right TO enter the
campaign as candidates for the capital,
but the one that hopes to gain votes
by resorting to SANDER will doubtless
find that the people OF Washington do
not appreciate that style Of campaign.

A a." Long Felt Want.

The ease with which the wo-
men who lately arrived with the
party from Finland obtained positions
as domestics in this city, shows the
want Of just such acccssions TO our
population. Tho necessity exists from
the very nature 81 things and j. not
likely to lie met III any other way.
While the American girls do not take
kindly 10 homework fox anybody else
than oi their own families, 4 large
proportion Of the women, who arrive
from foreign shores, are peculiarly
adapted .or that service and come IN
ured b; tho custom Of ages to just
such duty.
/, is SAFE to say that at least I01
girls could find ready employment in
the hotels and families OF this city AT
remunera,ire wages. John Chinalnan
, is in many a kitchen simply because
his place cannot be supplied 10y white
labor He usurps several calling- in
this place-notably washing and
gardenlng-simply because the degree
OF industry, patience and skill in those
! branches Of business has not yet beer
developed by any class that will enabl,
, them TO compete. Mr. Young, tn,
hotel proprietor, informs Us that Ii,
can find places for six competent womer
in his hotel, in the kitchen and dining
room, and that he would gladly max,
the change were il possible to do so
The other hotels would doubtless BE-
governed by the same decided prefer
ence for white over monaghan labor
and many heads OF families have hat
the matter OF insufficient domestic
service brought iorcibly to mind by the
prospect OF improvement from this
class Of emigration
There are thousands OF good domes-
ties arriving at Castle Garden every
month, and it seems lamentable that
there has been no effort yet made for
turning them towards field where
they could find full scope for their pc
culiar adaptations and become, in time,
part of the groundwork OF an inn
portant commonwealth. They would
bring just the characteristics needed

household duties, muscle and Drawn,

The Northern Pacific railway com.
pany has given notice of its intention
to withdraw from the Trans-continen.
tai Association. The cause OF this ac-
ton is the trouble that recently broke
out between that road and the Union
Pacific, on account of the latter's deter
mination to do business in the Puget
Sound territory. The Union Pacitic's
action, it is said, is contrary to the
rules OF the association, and Chairman
Leeds so decided, but that company
INSISTED on its course, and now the
Northern Pacific proposes to cut loose
from the organization and get rid of
all restraints in order to make war on
its rival.

4 Question Of Some Importance.

ELM, May u, 1889.
EDITOR Standard:
wish to say few words in regard
to taxation, which ! think merits a
little consideration, as we are all more
or less interested. 1t has been the
custom of the Assessor to tax our
prairies at ~. 80 per acre, and our up
land, timber and burnt lands at the
same figure. ] am informed that
there is talk of raising the assessment
on the latter to three and one-hali
dollars. This would certainly be very
unjust. 1t would be much more con-
sistent TO raise the valuation on the
prairie lands, for the owners thereof
can get fair remuneration from them
in the way OF pasture, while the owners
OF timber and burnt lands get nothing
whatever without an expense Of 800 to
500 per acre. We of the Yelm, are
willing to pay tax on property that is
renumerative, but if there is any re-
Enumeration to he derived from the
timber lands Of Washington without
great expense, I'd like to see where it
comes in.
Respectfully Yours,
& CONNIE

THE case of the New York murderer
sentenced to death by electricity is to
be carried to the Supreme court on the
ground that the punishment is "cruel

the constitution of the United States.
Killing by electricity is, perhaps, rather
unusual but if it kills instantly, as
they say it does, why should it be
more cruel than suspension by the
neck9

OF the matter to their own advantage.
Let us double, treble and quadruple
our manufacturing interests and the

Nor is ii impossible for US to 90

start several enterprises. We have
the best timber in the world at our
doors. We have the best water-powar
on the Pacific Coast. The fruit-grow

have built up thriving cities; Olympia
has a soil and climate peculiarly
adapted to both. Let Us increase on
manufacture OF lumber, shingles,
chairs, wooden pipe, etc; let us en-
