Snohomish SIN: The project 70 utilize the
power Of Niagara Falls for electrical purposes il
about to be put into operation. By the PosT-
INTkLLlG8KcEK, we learn that Henry Willard is
largely interested in Edison's electrical COM
psnies, and that he has similar project on foot
for ntiiixing the falls Of the Nississippi near
Minneapolis Now We would suggest that
"Henri" get possession of our famous. magnif-
cent 6noquaimie Falls and work his little
scheme there. He would have . monopoly OF
the whole state for street railways. factories
lights. in fact everything that is worked or OPP
Grated by electricity.
Newspapers use inelegant expressions some
times but they cannot compete with 6chwein-
furth. the blashphemous pretender who a.
s1mes the name of the most gentle and lovable
character that ever spoke TO mankind. Speak
ing Of reporters, he says: "They are the DAM
nablest blackguards of hell. and the hour Of
their retribution Is at hand. At . moment
when they wot not the mouth Of An everlasting
perdition viii open into the yawning abyss Of
which they win be plunged to gnash their teeth
and sand up to the unheeding ears Of IN out
ragged Lord their walls Of anguish throughout

tiously % though we were making money: but
we have co1claded to conclude that we shall lie
you no more.lies at our own expense"
The East Fashingtonian devotes an editorial 70
people who do not know when they are well of.
''rhey read the glowing lies paid for a. ad-
vertisments about the wonderful prosperity of
other sections, and the ease with which for
tunes are made, until they are in . state Of
feverish unrest This mental disquiet ude and
unsettled state keeps them from doing any
thing. They never are satisfied to settle down
with determination where they are and try to
make the best Of their resources and opportuni-
ties."s
oakdale Sun: These dribbling ounces who
dame nature scorn and see no glory In the burst
of morn: such lives untouched BY those an
themic songs borne on the breeze by merry
throated songs: dead to the Life of inspiration
