Skookum state auditor and the Hyas Tyee
Governor and Braves Hayden, Arthur,
Leayenworth and McReayy. The Hyas
Tyee paced the floor, chewing the cud
Of sweet and bitter fancy" the Skookum
official swung his long arms up and down,
and quite as often as an automatum pump
handle in the arid regions. Hayden, the
Seattle brave, stroked his handsome beard,
grew red in the face and boldly charged
bad faith on the Skookum auditor. Leay-
enworth, the Tenas brave of pretty Olym-
pia sharpened his tomahawk on the sole Of
boot and tierceIy told the governor and
auditor that 1t looked as if it was conspi-
racy to knock out every commission that
Laughton had appointed and to ruin the
republican party Of the state; the other
/ Seattle brave, John Arthur, was amazed
and confounded that the work of the com

the breaking up OF the dance at nearly
eleven O'Clock, the fat and sleek-headed
braves sssuch as sleep q nights and the
braves OF a lean and hungry look who
"think too much" all returned to their
eouches to renew the battle this morning.
But the Skookum auditor and the Hyas

had doWned the braves. There will be no
state university building erected until after
a special session of the legislature is called,
which is now talked of more than ever, or
until after the next regular session. 125
men who have been working on the site

for their money, the architect will get moth

dollars per day for the commission, the
