QUESTION OF A soBRIoUEr.

Shall Washington be Called 'sThe Ever
green or ssThc Sound State.
The following self-expIanatory letter vas
sent to the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday:
August IS 1890
Chamber Of Commerce, Cty-GeatlemsH: The
christening of our young state is no empty
honor. and we are somewhat surprised that the
only effort 10 wrest that distinction from us
comes from the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
The sobriquet The Evergreen State suggested
by Us in a recent publication of ours. has been
most universally adopted at home, and many
favorable comments have been made on 1t
abroad We have never yet heard an adverse
criticism on it. We have scrap-boos oil press
notices, nearly every newspaper in the state
having accepted the sobriquet as q happy
thought, and commented on it as the most APP
propriate title that could have been coined.
Several metropolitan publications have also in
dorsed it, and some of our state
papers now run q column of state
news headed THE Evergreen State"
Governor Ferry and Senator Squire have
written us pleasant letters congratHlating us on
the name and stating their belief that il would
be generally and permanently adopted. Such
men as Hon. A. A. Denny. Judge Struve Hon. H.
l. Yesler. Judge Burke, judge Green, Judge
Lewis, Judge Hanford, Judge Jacobs and Mr.. l.
8. J. Hunt hare approved it a. en- entirely appro-
pirate and fitting sopriqu-t. Mr. Charles s. Fee,
general passenger SCENT OF the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, has notified rs that he has
adopted the name and has instructed the chief
of the company's advertising bureau to use
'sTne Evergreen State on ali advertising matter
relating to this state
You may remember that even your body en-
dorsed the selection by heading the list of toasts
at a recent banquet with "The Evergreen State"
responded to by Governor Ferry.
After the universal favor with which our
sobriquet has been received aud its practical
adoption, we are. TO say the least, surprised tina
the only opposition encountered should be a
weak attempt by the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce to displace it with title that we also
considered and rejected as inappropriate.
We are both members OF the Chamber of Com
merce, and gladly contribute toward it, main
senance. Were we to be Factions wa might say
that we still cherish the hope that the organiza-
ton win some time rise above feeble attempts
to wrest honors from two members, who, we
venture the assertion, expend more money an
nHally ia making known abroad the fair fame
of our state aud city than any other corpora
ton, organization or firm in Seattle, but, con-
sidering the dignifed body we are addressing,we
reira n from venturing sucn a statement Yours,
respectfully, CRAWFORD & CoNovER.

The Refuge

Within the car tile girl
With hair of gold, and trcss anl cur.
Like LIVING sunshine-aI alive,
Kept fitting up and down the aisle;
Now here, Dow there, from seat to seat
Danced mcrr.ly the little feet.
The sunny face now pressed the pane,
Now called the sunshine back again.
All loved her as from place to place
She futtcred with a blrd-uke grace;
And now with this one, now with that,
Stopped to exchange a smile or chat,
Our eyes were ever on the child,
So the long Journey we bc-ui.ed.
Her blue eyes could so friendly be;
Nobody knew whose treasure she.
But suddenly from sunlight plain
Into a tunnel rushed the train
Ah,then We knew whose arm should holc
The little enc with locks Of gold.
,.Papa, papa, she trembling cried,
And, cropping to her fathers side;
As out into the day we pressed,
Her head lay on her fathers breast.
'Tjs so with us-whcn life is fair
We, too, forget our fathers are,
And wander whcrcs0c'cr we will
But, oh, he's watching, watching still,
And when the shadows round Us fall
lIe hears and hceds his chIiren's call.

The East Depending on This State for
Supplies.
NEW YORK, July 24th.-Edward L. Good
sell, interviewed, confirms all that has been
said concerning the field for California
fruits this season. He deals in fruits
largely and is in position to speak with
authority. He says all fruit crops in Della
ware. Jersey and New York are practically
ruined. What promised to be fine crop
of Bartlett pears in this State has been de-
stroyed. The prices for California fruit in
this market are higher than for fruit
grown near by, because the quality is su-
perior and better graded and packed. He
saws it is not an exaggeration to say that a
few years hence California will entirely
supply this market with fruit. Illustra-
tive of the readiness of the market, he
said that he sold four carloads of fruit this
morning within forty five minutes. He
predicts that $500 carloads Of California
fruit will be sold in this market this sea-
son.

T. NJ. B. Cook, a widely known Republi-

didate for the Constitutional Convention,
and is reported to have made very incen-

the reputation of being turbulent spirit

SAVANNAH ga J, July 24th.-W. L. Bul-
