Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1890-04-04


A Washington dispatch of the 9th
ult. states that the Secretary of the In
terror has decided, in the case of Frank
Burns and Others, who made applica-
ton to locate Valentine script upon
the tide lands near Seattle, that such
land is not within the intent of the act
of Congress authorizing the issue of
Valentine script upon public lands of
The United States. r
He holds further that since the To-
cation upon unsurveyed lands it was
merely preference of right to perfect
such location after survey as against
the claims of all others except the Uni
ted States, but that until such location
is adjusted to public surveys the United
States has authority to dispose of the
lands covered thereby. Such DISPOSE
tion, he holds, is made of the tract in
controversy by the admission of Wash
ingt0n into the Union as a State.
hence. even were it to be conceded
that the lands were, at the date of To-
cation, subject to disposal by the gen.
eral government, the rights of the
State are superior to those of script
applicants. It is stated that the lands
in question are located on the water
front OF Seattle, which, together with
Improvements, are valued at several
million dollars.

The outlook East is discouraeinp
The Farmers Review, of the I'd inst,
published Mt Chicago. says: Outside
of Kansas, reports from our crop cor
respondents relative to the condition
Of wheat, are very discouraging; par
ticularly is this true of Illinois and In
diana, but six counties in Illinois, Car
roll, Clay, Henderson, Kankakee, Lee
and Peoria. estimate the present con-
dition 100 per cent; in all other coun-
ties the reports of damage range from
~ to 60 per cent. The same state Of
affairs prevails in Indiana, only seven
counties reporting the condition good.
Ohio reports make a better average.
Kentucky reports show a falling off of
about IL per cent. in the general aver
age. In Michigan and Wisconsin the
condition of wheat is continued de-
cline, but two counties in Wisconsin
reporting the condition 100 per cent.
Other counties have suffered from 10
TO % per cent. General averages are
Illinois 76, Indiana 76,
Ohio 70, Kentucky 81, Kansas SO, Wis
consin y, Michigan 81.

of Vernon, but left no instructions
nor was it necessary, for the "coin o.

That the scheme was eminently

He Could Not Have Done Less.

The Snohomish Sun refers TO Gov.
Ferry's speech made 10 our late la
mcnted" Legislature as a Farewell
Address" 1t declares, with marked
emphasis, that When Governor Fer
nv undertakes to shoulder that Legis-
lature, by declaring it to be one of the
best Washington has ever had, or ever
will have, he breaks his back square
off. He may have pleased the boys
he was talking TO, but he insulted
every man in the State who has ever
been a representative of the people in
that distinguished body"
The Suns rays are properly focused
on that point Gov. Ferry's action has
been, however, a dernier resort, for
lorn hopeas it were, to recover the
vantage ground lost at the beginning
of the session, and whic. would never
have been .regained but :or the Napo-
leonic heroism OF our doughty Cover
nor. 1t will be observed by a review
Of the circumstances that this position
was not of his own seeking; that the
Legislature had ignored the Executive
that they had gone on laundering till
the goose-fesh fairly crawled on the
hacks OF anxious party leaders; that
they showed 10 signs of ability to
bring order out of chaos, until for
bearance literally ceased to be a virtue.
1t was then that the Governor SHE'D
his castor into the ring and announced
his determination Of saving the party
or perish;ng in the attempt.
The control of a master mind was
soon evident; the mob was quieted
the order of business was resumed
the Governor set about preparing some
of the more important. laws, to be
adopted rs a matter of form, and sub
mitted for his own approval, and ever
afterwards during the session the
mailed hand in the silken glove held
the reins.
It was, of course, to be expected that
the Governor would approve the ma
ehinery that responded so promptly to
his will. 1t would have been in con.
flict with the common instincts of hui
man nature for him to have done
otherwise and the disaster to the party
and himself irreparable. Nobody saw
this palmer than he did, and nobody
now realizes the danger mere fully or
displays more nerve in grasping the
means which give promise Of saliva
ton.
The pro6igacy, the sel6shness, the
utter disregard Of the peoples in
terests, manifested so often by the
Legislature, are too we'll known to the
thinking men Of the State for the
Governors efforts a. wstrnnrse to save
this precious offspring Of the Republi-
can party. II is, however, the only
hope, and the Governor shows courage
valor and statesmanship in pinning his
sfiith 70 it.

Terrible Disaster by Tornado and
Flood

1t seems that the dark cloud of dis
aster that has so long obscured the
horizon all over the civilized world
has not yet passed away. The long
chapter OF overwhelming misfortunes
is not complete, and humanity
stands dazed on the immensely of the
natural disturbances which have SO
disastrously affected mankind. Ex-
cept in ancient history, at infrequent
intervals, We find no parallel for the
train OF malefc occurrences Of the
past few years.
On the Goth ultimo, a deadly tor
nado passed over a portion of Ken
lucky, cutting wide swath through
the great city of Louisville, de-
stroying nearly 100 lives and mil
lions of dollars worth of property
There was likewise immense destruc-
ton OF property across the river at
Jacksonville, Ind, and numbers of
small villages through the former
State are reported swept away. The
track of the cyclone presents a stu
pendous ruin extending through Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio, Missouri and Iowa, and its in
fluence was SO widespread as to be
felt from the base of the Rocky
Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean.
The number of deaths has been est.
mated at 800, while the loss of all de-
scriptions of property will run up into
many millions of dollars in value.
This terrible calamity was supple
mented by flood, which has covered
nearly all the low lands of the Mis-
sissippi valley. Terrible suffering is
reported among the people of Green
vile and Laconia Circle, while the
greater part of the Yazoo Delta has
been flooded. The tract of country
between Helena and Kansas City, is
practically surrounded by the Missis-
sippi and White rivers. Many houses
have been swept away and much stock
drowned.
1t is feared that the end is not vet
disclosed. Prof. Geo. Root, of Can
ton, Mo-, a successful weather prog
nosticator, predicts tornado period
from the Goth to the 25th of April,
and says that it will be the worst
storm period of the year. He thinks
it will establish the influence of the
nearest planet Uranus.
Rev. Ira r. Hicks, of st. Louis, who
has achieved much more than a local
reputation as weather prophet and
who predicted the last storm with
wonderful accuracy, also gives q fore.
cast for April which includes numer-
GUS marked changes in temperature
and three distinct storm periods. He
says the month will open with sum-
mer temperature and vernal storms
occurring on the LIST and I'd, especially
on the I'd. The 9th. 7th, 9Th, and
9Th are designated as danger days,
when there will be heavy storms OF
OF lightning, wind and hail with snow
in the northern sections. About the
18th it will be cold with much frost,
Active and violent storms will occur
on the 18th, Goth and 2lst, moving
from west to east. From this on there
Will be the usual April showers and
the month will go out with high
thermometer. The dates of the
greatest earthquake probabilities are
given A. the 9Th, 18th, Goth and 2lst.
