THE sprague Herald says; Senator
III. W. Falrweatier returned from Olym-
pia Friday evening, accompanied by
Mrs. f. The senator thinks that after a
time, when the people have had time TO
analyze and digest the.enactments Of the
legislature, they will find that much
good legislation was accomplished. !"
The senator might have added that oil
the good legislation was more than
countcrbalanced by one act that cost the
people s500o0O00. But perhaps the
senator does not care to talk about a
trivial matter like that.
