A Good Example.

Those who have charge of the
money OF the public in city and coun-
try may find the example set by Kan
sas City one that can be followed with
profit.
In Kansas City the banks have Just
been bidding for the privilege of keep
ing the public moneys. The success
full bidder pays four and fifty-three
hundreths per cent. for the money,
computing the interest monthly ON the
average daily balances. It's estimated
that the city will receive q revenue
from this source amounting to Mt least
$4,000 per year. "This," the Kansas
City Journal say, ais a pure gain.
The new arrangement ought to be salts
factory all around. The City Treas.
urer is under no humiliating obliga-
ton to any bank for having helped to
elect him. The bank gets the funds
in an honorable competition and the
interest which it pays is at least nc
greater than the expense OF lively
political campaign. The unsuccessful
banks have the satisfacti ton of know.
ing that they have been squarely beat
en-. The city gets large sum ol
money annually to which it is Justly
entitled and scandal is removed from
municipal politics."

A HINT TO SMOKERS.
Before Lighting Blow All Dust and
Tobacco Rarticles Out Of Your Ci-
gar
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
Lots of advice has been given to
smokers, but I'll tell you something
which has never been written up, and
ought to be known"
This was told a Tribune reporter in
the Grand Pacific by one of the big
gest tobacco dealers in New York.
"Come into the cigar store" he
went ON, "and you will notice that
two out of three men will cough while
lighting cigars" The first person
who set fire to cigar coughed quite
violently.
Didn't tell you?" exclaimed the
lecturer. "Two out of three will do
that"
"It's caused by the smcke."
" Never. When you are about to
smoke cut off the mouth end of the
cigar, put the smoke end in the mouth
and then blow. This expels all the
fine particles of Tobacco and dust in
side the cigar. When you have done
this reverse the TORCH and you won't
cough when lighting it. Those little
bits OF tobacco get down your throat
and are injurious. More people have
been injured by swallowing these little
specks than YOU have any idea of, yet
they think they were hurt by inhal-
ing the smoke"

buildings for four companies, officers
and hospital quarters, which are un-
occupied. The remainder of the Col
vile reservation, $50 acres, are to be
sold as public land.
The Orting Oracle notes, upon the
authority of Mr.. Van Harris, well
versed in fruit culture, that there is
but little injury to fruit in that section
from the late frosty mornings. He
says that pears, peaches and late
apples are not injured at all, but some
OF the early apples and nbout one
fourth of the cherry blossom are killed.
Strawberry blossoms are nipped, but
this will do no damage, the only effect
being to make them little later. He
says that three years ago there was q
very heavy, late frost, when fruit
was farther advanced than now, and
farmers thought the entire crop would
be lost. 1t proved, however the best
crop ever known in the valley. "In
fact" said Mr.. Harris, "I don't be-
lieve we can have complete fail
ure OF any crop in this valley, no
matter what happens; a failure is un-
known here"
The Puget Sound Mail, published at
La Conner, says: The loggers and far
mers of the lower Skagit country are
at war. The loggers had driven piles
in both the South and North forks
and were booming logs. The farmers,
realizing that such distractions were
liable to cause jams when the ex.
pected big freshest comes and floods
the entire country, are reported to
have held meeting, at which they
agreed to stand by each other, and
then proceeded TO cut the piles and
boom sticks, setting the logs adrift.
The farmers claim the right to protect
their farms and homes from overflow !;
while the loggers claim that their right
to property in logs should be pro-
tected. The idea in taking such q
course was to remove distractions,
while at the same time bringing the
matter into court, where their rights
in the premises may be determined.
