BEssENER, Skagit County, Sept. 3.-The
name of our little town has been changed
from Birdsview to Bessemer, although the
postofhce still bears the former name.
The soil here is excellent, and the sur
rounding mountains are full of ore of ali
kinds, waiting for the hand of man to
finish what nature has begun. For sports.
men and lovers of the beautiful in nature
this place is everything that could be de.
sired. The river is full of fish and the for
ests of game. while the scenery cannot be
surpassed. Opposite the town the great
tr-clad mountains rise in ali their grand
eur, with the beautiful Skagit winding in
and out and around them. In the distance
rises majestic snow-clad Mt Baker. with
its hidden stores of mineral wealth. For
heaithfulness of climate these mountains
cannot be excelled. weeks stay here

A wOMAN's EXCHANGE.
Some Talk OF Establishing One in Thi
City.

Some Talk OF Establishing One in This
City.
Mrs. s. G. Bowman, of Ramona ranch,
Apple Tree Cove, Kitsap county, who has
been in the city during the past week, was
formerly interested in the work of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union of
this city, and is now interesting herself in
the establishment of woman's exchange
here. She has called on several of the rep
resentative women of Seattle, Mrs. Jacob
Furth, Mrs. James Mcknight and others,
and has secured their cooperation. Rev.
George Herbert Watson has also become
interested in her work and has promised
her his support.
Mrs. Bowman defines q woman's ex-
change as a place where women can place
the articles they have made for sale. She
says many poor women can do most ex-
quisite needlework of all kinds, and at the
exchange these articles can be placed on
SALE Many of these women, while
able to do this work, are not
able to go out in the world and work.
Some are physically unable, others are I'M
fortunately anchored at home with insult
ficient means to support themselves. while
with an exchange they would be en-
abled to help themselves. The exchange
would also comprise lunch counter, and
possibly, if business justified it, a res
taurant, which it is supposed business men
will patronize. The lunch counter would
make a speciality of homemade salads,
homemade bread, tea and coffee, sand
witches, ana delicacies suitable for lunches
especially. The expense of establishing an
exchange would not be great, and Mrs.
Bowman hopes to interest the people of
Seattle sufficiently in her PROJECT that in
the near future Seattle will contain the ex-
change for the protection and benefit of
many women.
Tacoma now has a very successful
woman's exchange.

HIGH BRICK WALLS.
Work Being Pushed on Many
Big Buildings.
THE DENNY SHOWING IT'S SIZE,
The Kinnear Buifdings-Grotto Palace
Opers-House The Pioneer and
Seattle Bank Blocks.

The Denny hotel, at present the largest
and most magnificent structure in course
of construction in the city. is being pushed
forward as rapidly rs good work viii
hermit. The brick work of the main
building is all done and there are only
few more bricks to lay to complete the
yeranda supports The roof is all painted,
the cornice work and ornaments are
nearly all on and the window frames are
in. The floors are partly laid and plaster
ing is well under way. The big hotel is
very conspicuous as it stands on the COM
manding Capitol hill, but it is not as con-
spicuous as it will be as soon as part OF the
hill in front is taken away, which will not
be probably until the work on the building
is all done. Visitors to the hotel are
numerous, but they are excluded on
Sundays and the Waterman who Is
stationed there to keep them out has all he
can do to guard all of the entrances.
Excavation work has commenced on the
lot on the east side of Front street near
Spring, and adjoining the Holyoke build
ing. upon which is to be erected the build
ing of the Grotto Palace Opera company.
1t is to be 60x108 feet in size, of brick and
stone, and will fill the only gapin the block
of brick buildings.
The two four and five-story brick build
ings being put up by Messrs. John r. Kin
near and George Kinnear on South Third
street. between Main and Jackson, have
been partially carried up to the top of the
second story above the street, and large
force of masons are engaged upon them.
g. Winehil's building at the corner of
Second and Seneca streets has reached the
top of the second story and the cut-stone
walls are coming out in good style. This
building will be the only one in the city of
white sandstone, and 1t will be very hand
some structure. The fourth floor is to be
made into large hall for theatrical or
dancing purposes
Architect Boone has just let the contract
for a $50, 900 store and Office building, COX
100 feet in size. for General T. l. Mckinney
at Olympia.
The Pioneer building of H. l.. Yesler, at
the corner of Front and James streets, is
now up to the top of its sixth story and it
presents a most imposing appearance.
James street, between Front and Second,
is now so overshadowed with high walls
that it is the darkest street in the city.
The Seattle National Bank building is be-
ing pushed rapidly forward and is now
well up on the second story above the
street in some places. The massive walls
of the Occidental across the street will soon
be rivaed on the south side by the walls of
this building.

Town Representatives.

The question OF who shall represent
the several towns at the coming ses-
sion Of the State Legislature is SER
ious one and the discussion which is
evidently becoming quite general has
opened none too early.
Every town should send a strong
man this year and one who is able,
competent and willing to take promi-
nent part in the practical work which
will come before that body.
1t is more than probable that some
action will be taken in regard to ballot
reform. as there is a sentimentin favor
Of such move. Other states are a.
doptiug the secret ballot system and if
there appears to be a sufficient demand
for it Vermont cannot afford to be be-
hind her sister states. This is the
year too, for the consideration OF a.
mendments TO the constitution. We
need wise and able counsellors 10 deal
with this subject. Various economi-
cal and industrial questions will be
presented aud urged upon the legisla-
ture for its consideration. The work
ingmen and their friends are making an
unmistakahle demand for weekly pay-
ment system and they ought to have q
hearing. The project Of changing the
September election TO November may
also come up for consideration.
These and other important matters
call for able legislation at the coming
session. Let every town this year e
lect its ablest and most practical man
to the Legislature. The republican
party will of course, as usual, be held
responsible for the legislation in this
State and if there is better man in
the party than the one who happens to
be ''in line" for the nomination, let the
republicans see that he is nominated
and elected this year.-Chpper.

These fellows who are seeking 10 IN
vent some humane way OF putting muir
derers to death ought to turn their at
tention to persuading murdcrers to de-
stroy their victims in a more humane
way. There seems to be some ankle
ty lest the victim Of the law should suf-
fer in his taking off. Some fears are
expressed lest Kemmler nay have been
hurt when the lightning struck him.
1t would have been a pity had he been
injured IN the least. II makes no diff
ference how much the woman he killed
was hurt, he must not suffer in the
least. II makes one sigh for the good
old DAYS when the law OF retaliation
was in force. The way to execute MUIR
derers is to find out how they killed
their victims and kill them IN the same
way as near as possible. In any case
compel them to undergo as much suf-
fering as their victims. There is a
pseudo-philanthropy that increases the
amount Of crime BY weakening the pen
atty of the law. Some seem to doubt
whether the present method Of execu-
ton will be continued in New York
There are some features about it not
quite satisfactory to men Of science and
they are the ones who are running the
business Just now.

his duty. No matter what his prefer

Secretary Proctor has had some
difficulty in settling the chaplain ques-
tion. In regard to it the Springfield
Republican remarks
Secretary Proctor's plan for the So
luton of the question of religious wor-
ship in the army is to authorize the
secretary Of war to employ from time
to time, as the service seems to demand
them, number Of acting chaplains, not
to exceed 20, whose pay shall be $500
year. These. in addition to the 80
post chaplains now provided for under
the act of lS49, would suffice TO admin
lister to the spiritual needs Of men of all
shades of religious belief. The most
commendable feature Of the secretary's
plan, however. which inreality embod-
les an old time method, is the opportu-
nifty it provides the department for test
ing the qualifications of theacting chap
lains for their peculiar work. The one
who is successful as an acting chaplain
would be preferred for an appointment
as a regular chaplain, while the fail
ures, who would be numerous, might
easily be dismissed. Again, the secre-
tary does not propose to give acting
chapIains military rank, because,i in the
first place, their rank as Christian min
isters affords them the best of titles
and, in the second place. because as
civilians they could maintain closer re-
lations with their respectibe denomina
tions. The bill embodying these ideas
which are endorsed by Gen. Schoield,
is now before Congress. and well might
become law, it would SEEM"

The Time is az Hand.

The time is at hand when the vari-
Gus towns will have to choose repres-
entatives to our next Legislature. More
than usual attension should be paid to
this matter. All over the State there
is a cry that expenses have increased
too much and that taxes are high. The
times are hard and there is urgent need
for economy in State administration.
The farmers, who are a large malori-
ty of the voters, should select from
their own ranks men Of sound common
sense, who will resist all propositions
for unnecessary expense and keep the
State expenditures down to the lowest
point consistent with efficiency. There
are known to be parties having special
schemes to push who will endeavor to
drive the next legislature into lavish
outlay for various objects, not bad IN
themselves, but which can wait awhile
without any public detriment. We
should have at Montpelier a strong
body of men who know from their own
experience in earning it, the value OF
money, and so be prudent in their
votes. The taxpayers should exercise
much vigilance in selecting the men for
whom they will vote. Newport Senti-

The business interests OF tins ana
every State are suffering more from
the insufierable delay Of the Senate to
take action on the tariff bill than from
any other one cause. No man can
tell what kind OF bin is likely to pass,
and no prudent man or company dares
TO embark in any manufacturing OF
other large business ventures I'LL they
can tell what conditions they are TO
meet. Let the tariff be as it Is and
they could tell what 10 do. Now 1t 1t
were not for the dignity OF the Senate
that prevents change in the rules, so
that debate that is not debate but talk
made to kill all legislation, could be
stopped and action taken business
might proceed in safety. It's this un-
certainty that is paralyzing everything.
