Chehalis Nugget: "The protest made before
the city council by number of our leading
business men for an increase of the auctioneers,
and hawker's license should receive all the at
tention possible from our city authorities. The
council ought to give every encouragement to
our home business men who from year TO year
cater to the requirements OF the community,
whether the seasons are duh or busy. 1t is not
just or right to allow outsider to rush into
the thick of the busy season and with cheap,
shoddy stock take the cream of the business.
These men buy up the cast-of remnants OF two
or three seasons from some OF the larger city
stores and bring them TO the smaller towns
where there is no heavy license to pay, and with
the aid OF shrewd and lively auctioneer, palm

charged by home men, thus realizing a heavy
profit and doing reputable business men great

ate $4,000 by the legislature for state display
at the Worlds fair at Chicago will meet with
but little favor in Eastern Washington, where
taxation is already grievouS burden to be
borne under existing circumstances The great
trouble in this state is that magnificent dis

display provided the public win foot all the

least one-third larger, and viii constantly in
from year to year until every acre OF these
fertile lands is placed under cultivation. As yet
threefourths of the tillable lands of the Palouse
country is in grass and produces nothing for
shipment"
Spokane Globe: 1.-THE people of the West are
in no mood for trifling in the matter OF freight
rates 1t may take considerable time vet to OBJ
tain sufficient majority in congress and the
state legislatures TO compel the railroads to deal
justly with the people in the matter OF freight
and passenger rates, but If the railroads persist
in ignoring the rights of the people, under the
special privileges granted By the people, the peo
pie will eventually combine to obtain redress. ;"

of the legislature. John A. Baker, the Young
senator from Pierce county, who is a very

come back an hundred fold"
Bellingham Bay Express: "Our railroad sys-
