There are numerous good reas-

There are numerous good reas
ons why the location of the State
Capital should not be changed
from Olympia. The Capital can
not be located where it will be d.
rectly contiguous to, and conven-
lent for every community, and it
should be where most convenient
for the majority of the people Of
the Territory. Western Wash
ington has an excess of popula-
ton over $4,000 over the eastern
portion, and from the Columbia
to the boundary line, Olympia is
easily accessible and always has
good communication. While
from eastern Washington it is All
expensive trip no donbt, bat equal
" SO to be taken from this side OF
the mountains. As to the actual
geographical centre of the territory,
it is stated that there is but twenty
three miles difference between the
present Capital and the aspiraots
east Of the mountains. With re-
spect to Mason County people,
there is no question as to conveu-
fence. as their communication OF
years shows, and it is to their inter
est, small as it may be, to do what
they can for the retention Of the
Capital at Olympia by their votes.
The efforts being put forth for
Ellensburgh and Yakima are
mainly through real estate men,
aud though they offer some induce
ments, it is but little to offset the
claims and advantages Of Olympia.
