The state of Washington cannot regard
with favor the proposition which is re-
ported to be under consideration by the
that great exposition an affair of s'de-
partments," in reference to articles ex-
hibited. rather than of nations, states or
sections In reference to the diversified
products, resources and achievements Of
each.
The reported scheme, which is said to
have been partially settled upon, is to
divide the great exposition into sixteen
departments. such as cereals. horticul-
tural products. textile plants and their
fabrics. iron and its fabrics, machinery,
electrical apparatus, etc.. and into each of
these departments will be jumbled the ar
ticles assignable to such department from
all countries, states and sections.
Washington alone, or in conjunction
with the other states and territories of the
Pacific coast, could make an interesting
and highly creditable display of DIVERSE
fed products and native resources, which
at glance would impress the beholder.
Here may be found almost infinite oppor-
tunities for great and varied enterprises.
Such display as whole would bear the
closest investigation, with the inevitable
result Of carrying conviction that in this
state there are the foundations of imperial
wealth and progress.
But with the ores of Washington mixed
up in confused exhibit with those of
other states and countries, and with our
lumber, cereals. horticultural and other
products similarly treated, the case would
be quite different. From this, that and
another state or country with but one or q
narrowly limited number of resources, first
one, and then another and another of
Washington's varied exhibits might be ex-
celled by one and another section which
could not be compared with Washington
in general attractiveness or in promise of
general prosperity.
1t may therefore as well be stated FIRST rs
last. that on the department plan there
would be little to induce Washington to
put in an appearance at Chicago in 1893.
An exhibition on that plan would do the
state great injustice. The state is great in
many things. Her chief claim to greatness
is in the multitude and variety of occupa.
tons which may be proftly prosecuted
within her borders. An exhibit which
would demonstrate this would be of great
value; one that would fail in that respect
would be practically valueless. if not
detriment.
Therefore the representatives of WASH
ington and the coast should make their
voices heard in opposition to the depart
ment plan, or should insist that this and
ether states, and the territories of the
coast. should at least be accorded space for
distinctive exhibit of massed products
and resources of each state and of the Sec
ton separately. This is highly important
matter, which demands prompt considera.
ton and action.

significance of the above figures will be
better appreciated when 1t is remembered
that the steamers thus listed, as con-

which the records place at zoe, 800 tons.
But taking into account the greater pro-
portion of steel and iron vessels, and the
vast Improvements that have been made in
construction and in speed, it is probable
that the 111.475 of tonnage built within
three years for accommodation of increased
lake traffic, is more than equal to the en-
tire 10000 tons of steam tonnage OF the
United States in 1910.

DEATH OF OLD HIHENY.
Murder OF Indian Chief and Medicine
Man in Klickitat County.
(yaldaudaIo Santfuoi

AAan III hiichitat OOuntys
Goldendale Sentinel
Old Chief Hfheny, whose dead body was
found on Rock creek several weeks ago was un-
doubtedly murdered after the custom of the
tribe when they find that the day Of usefulness
of their medicine men is passed.
The coroner's jury failed to discover the cause
OF death. but there are various things that when
taken into consideration point strongly to four
Indians who two years ago were arrested for the
murder OF Chief Yellowash near Cleveland, and
who escaped punishment because the COM
planning witness was bought of with few
cayuBe horses. The old chief and medicine
man was threatened last winter II he did not
make the snow 60 off with the wrath OF these
cut-throats. They evidently felt that he had
the power TO do 1t, and they were disposed 10
hold him to strict performance of his duty. It
IL useless to say that his influence, even II ex-
erted, had no effect on the elements. The In.
dams suffered great losses, and their hatred for
Chief Hiheny has no doubt continued to rankle
In their bosoms since that time, and the irst
opportunity that presented itself for executing
the decree was { ken advantage Of At the
time mentioned he left his camp on horseback
at about o'clock in the evening, in company
with these same four bloodthirsty devils; his
body was found ct about o'clock the next
morning. lying near the trail among some
rocKA His horse was found tied only few feet
away. The body was bruised more or lees all
over and we are told that there was bad
wound on the head. In conversation with
some Indians the theory was advanced that he
had been drunk and was thrown from his horse
and killed. but they forgot to account for the
horse being tied.
1t is difficult to convict an Indian with Indian
testimony. for in nine cases out of ten cayuse
horse will close the mouth of a witness as Sc
curely as II it had been Theoretically sealed, and
i've or six horses satisfies the widow and
orphans. The custom win therefore probably
continue until the old bucks are al killed Off
and the generations to come take on the habits
of the whites and cease to pin their faith to the
ssfuyn animus men,"

THE CENSUS IN GERMANY.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
In Germany they have different way of
taking the census than the one in vogue in
the United States. There they take the
census every i've years, and cover thu
whole empire in one day: but only oues-
tons in reference to domicile, name. seq.
age and social position are asked.
Several days before December 1 the
enumerator goes around in his district AMI
finds out how many persons live in each
house. For each person he leaves a card
containing the questions. and on each card
Is written the number OF the house and dis
trict. A dup icateof each card so filed ont
is kept in the central sta ion. On De-
cember the enumerator goes around and
collects the cards, the heads of
the families, agents or owners BEN. under
penalty to ill out The cards, or have them
filed out, and TO return them. Bv the
duplicate check is kept. so that the emu
merators cannot skip q house. In that
way the exact number of persons living in
the German empire is secured on the first
