A CAPITAL Picture.

We are in receipt of pair of large pho.
tographs of the magnificent water color
paintings by j. T. Pickett entitled: "The
Northwest and Southwest Views of Wash.
ington State Capitol Park at Ellensburgh. ="
This splendid tract lies Immediately north
Of he original town plot and is now sur
rounded by the Grand View. Michel and
State Capita. Park additions to that CITY.
Over ten thousand two and three year
old shade trees are now on the ground
The enterprising individuals who laid
out thisvtract have executed a Sdeed to the
same which is now deposited in the
bank of Beu K. Snipes e Co.. III Ellens
burgh, to be delivered to the order of the
proper officers of the State of Washing
ton, without money and without price.
provided the people on Oct 1, 1899. by
their ballots declare Ellcnsburgh to be
the permanent seat of state government
and the.state buildings be erected on this
plat. The cash value of this gift, devoid
of the improvements, is $4,000, and cit
liens of the enterprising city can SAT civ
be relied upon 10 spend a great deal more
money in the adornment of the grounds,
should they be accepted bv the state
There is no question but that EIlenshurgh
is the most central and in every way
easily accessible city in the entire stale
and people who believe the permanent
location should be made at ence in order
that immediate construction of the state
buildings should begin. will not hesitate
to express their preference for EIlens-
burgh at the polls on Oct. first.

Gle jake" He is a Mexican war veteran.
and came to Portland in 1850, when that
city was cluster of log cabins in.the
midst of vast forest. He saw the first
steamer, the Columbia, land there, when
the entire surrounding country was a will
derness. Vancouver was then Hudson
Bay COmpany's trading post, and all bus
incss was handled in canoes and bat,eaux
In 1853 be came to Olympia when that
town was but an Indian ranchcrce, and
lived on clans and fish according to the
custom of the day. He was in the Indian
war of 1856, and saw some very tough
times in connection with it, He was one
of the party who received the first Gov
ernor of the territory, Stevens, aud hopes
to shake hands with the first Governor ol
the new state. He lived in the territory
for years before there were any roads. OF

band. Hesfrst saw Gray's Harbor when
the Siwash held almost undisputed poss

of the first residents of Aberdeen when
IT started to become city. The race OF
hardy and courageous men to which he
belongs, who redeemed this coast from
Savagery, and made it what it is, is rapid

left. They should be honored and re-
spected while they remain among US
