Daylight is Breaking.


Daylight is Breaking.
The present excitement over railroad
extension Which has sent real estate
values about this city so rapidly to
top figures, is but the result OF gi-
gantic movement that will, within the
next twenty-four months, cover the
whole Northwest with a network OF
steel, over which will pulsate in vigor
Gus throbs the currents of healthy
business life. 1t is the result OF a
struggle between giants for the van
tage ground, q race backed by unlim-
tied capital for the goal of future 81
gantic operations. No less than three
transcontinental companies see in the
Northwest the key to virtual control
of much foreign trade, and the basis of
Il permanent prosperity from the steady
growth of the thriving communities,
towns and cities, whi,h will make
every mile OF road productive.
1t is this tempting prize so plainly
in view which has caused the several
companies to fairly stumble over each
other in their efforts to be the first
in the field and the first to grasp the
golden plums all along the way to the
northern border. They realize that
they have slept too long, and that
sharp competition will now ensue.
Hence each is anxious to embrace
every point of advantage. None will
be left that can, by any possibility,
prove Of value.
1t is not, however, by including the
lesser objects of value, that Olympia
now comes to the front. It is for the
same reasons that the Northern Pacific
Railroad Co. selected it twenty years
ago for their western terminus after
full investigation and mature delibera-
ton. It is because she stands at the
head of the great Puget Sound, on the
shortest connecting link between river
and deep water communication, the
nearest port ON the Sound to San
Francisco by a route two days shorter
than by the Straits, surrounded by rich
agricultural and mineral resources, and
possessing, in an eminent degree, all
the essentials for rapid development
under the talismatic influence of we'll
directed enterprise. Olympia has only
awaited the direct influence of those
natural causes which start the germ,
and cause it to speedily burst forth into
the luxurious harvest and to strew the
pathways with the beautiful flowers
that garland Success.
Let us not, for an instant, imagine
that because other communities have
built up faster, that they possess better
natural adaptations than our own. It
y not true. Our misfortune, q few

TIE. In Chinese Fashion.

A pretty device for making tea Chinese
fashion at the home table anfsat after
noon teas, and for serving delicate re-
freshments TO callers. consists Of bol-
low ball of gold or silver about the size
of walnut, suspended from a finger
ring by slender chain four or five
inches long. The ball divides in ths
middle and the halves are hinged. It
is perforated with innumerable holes.
Sometimes it Is made Of gold or silver
wire gauze. The hostess uses II in this
way: She opens the hollow ball. fills tho
halves with dry tea leaves and clasps it
shut. She then slips the ring from which
it il suspended upon one OF the fingers OF
the right hand. Filling toacup with
hot water, she lets the ball hang in tho
cup, and moves IL back and forth and up
and down until the water L. colored to
the desired strength. The strength of
the tea. Of course, depends upon the
length of time the ball is dawdled in ths
cup.
The little ceremony is much pleasanter
10 the eve than the old way Of pouring
out tea, especially If the hostess be grace
ful and have prettily modelled hand and
wrist. Moreover. it produces an imrneas-
urably finer cup Of tea than can be bad
by anv other method. At afternoon tens
the hostess sits upon her divsn with ths
trinket suspended from her finger. aud
makes the tea at table by her side.
The tea ball. as II is called, is moro
over an encouragement TO the custom
borrowed with il from the Chinese, %
serving tea 10 callers-zn adjunct 10 en-
tertaining methods. which Is rapidly be-
coming popular. Hot water. Of course.
