PARKS AND SHADE TREES

There are many things which are
overlooked in the early growth Of
city, and years after we wonder how
it was we did not see differently.
Perhaps some did see that ono Of the
proper things to do was to have parks
set aside and improved and shade
trees put out, so that at least in our
day and generation we might be able
TO enjoy the blessings of common
sense necessity.
Every town and city should have its
breathing places, where the young and
old may spend happily some leisure
hours, where the birds will sing their
sweetest and the children can make
merry all the day. Where the bands
will give concerts and lovers may
whisper their VOWS Of eternal fidelity,
and all that sort Of thing which makes
them feel better and harms no one
else.
Park the streets and plant shade
trees first, and take steps for further
helps in that direction as soon as pos
sible.
Fairhaven should secure park now
and begin to improve it, and already
we begin to need some squares here
and there as ornaments to the city
and attractive resting places for the
people. If they are not secured before
the next big wave of advancement
comes we will be forced to get them
too far away from the business center
for every day use, and posterity will
growl about it, later on.

PUBLIC READING ROOMS

Every community should be pro-
vided, at the expense of the county or
corporation, free reading room,
where the leading newspapers, jour
nails and periodicals are kept con-
stantly on hand and where books can
be had free.
The school education is but the pre-
paratOry step for after years. one
cannot be intelligent today without
being a constant reader of the leading
papers and magazines Of the day. We
are living in an age that moves with a
rush, where everything is being con-
sidered and so arranged as to cover
the widest possible scope.
There never was time in the
history of the world when as much
was expected from a man as there Is
today. The greatest events are de-
scribed in a short paragraph. wars
that revolutionize governments are
read at glance, and the most impor'
tant affairs are put down concisely
and with precision.
Total ignorance is not near so bad
thing as a smattering of information
One of the great misfortunes of the
times is that 50 many people learn Sc
many things that are not so. Give The
people opportunities for full ant
authoritative information, and they
will not only take advantage Of it, bu
the world will grow better as its in
habitants become better educated
knowledge is power.

Lock Fonr Thousand Year Old.

An Egyptian lock has been found which
we are assured was in use more than 1000
years ago. This old Egyptian lock, tells
the European Trade Mail, was not made
of metal like those we use nowadays, but
of wood and the key that opened it was
wooden, too. On one side OF the door to
which it was fastened there was staple,
and into this staple fitted wooden bolt
that was fixed to the door itself When
this bolt WIS pushed into the staple as fax
AS it would 20, three pins in the upper pal
of the staple dropped into holes in the bolH
and held it in its place so that it could not
be moved back until the pins were lifted
The key was straight piece Of wood, at
the end of which were three pegs the same
distance apart as the pin which held the
bolt firm. When the key was pushed into
the bolt through hole made to receive IL
the pegs came into such a position that
they were able to lift the pins that fixed
the bolt and when these were lifted the
bolt could be lifted out Of the staple.

Waiting "A Berlin Palace.

It Is well known that a visitor when
about to enter japanese house must lay
aside his street shoes, lest he should SOIL

required to make similar change.

A ROAD TO THE MINES

Attention is called to the communi-
cation printed in another column,
signed "Wanderer," in which he
speaks OF the need Of a good wagon
road to the Monte Christie and Silver
Creek mines. 1t is plain enough to all
persons who have taken any trouble to
investigate, that the road suggested
would be a great help to the business
interests of Fairhaven. This being
true, the business men OF Fairhaven
should at once take steps to give the
proposed road all the help possible.
An organized effort would doubtless
give encouraging as well as effective
help, and such an effort should be
made. 1t is not Fairhaven's way to
sit idly by and see some other place
pluck her plums, and IL is not easy to
believe that anything Of that sort will
be allowed to happen in this instance

POETRY BY STEAM.

She was the pretticst girl. | ween,
That mortal eye had ever seen;
Her name was Anabcl Christine,
Her cheeks were smoothed with vaseline,
Her bangs were curled with bandoline,
Her teeth were brushed with fine dentine,
Her face was brushed with coaline,
Her gloves were cleaned with gasoline,
She wore n dress of grenadine,
Looped DER a skirt of brillianteen;
Her petticoat was bombazine,
Her foot was shod with kid bottine.
Her wounds were healed with cosmolins.
She sailed away from Muscatine
In a ship they called brigantine;
She firted with gay marine
Till they reached the Republic Argentine,
Where they were married by dean
And lived on oleomargarine;
Also the mild, tin clad sardine,
And did disturb the Boston bean
When boiled and served in soup tureen.
Salt pork they ate both fat and lean.
When garnished round with parsley green;
Likewise ye lobster coraline,
With lemons sliced its form to screen.
In short, they lived like king and queen
In manhood's pride and beauty's sheen;
For bout them there was nothing mean.
His looks and language were serene;
He wore a coat of velveteen.
She kept her parlor neat and clean;
Her fayorite color was aniline,
She rock ed the cradle by machine,
And named the baby Josephine.
Yet never was brighter scene
Then when that girl. at sweet sixteen.
Entered the room with haughty mien.

PENNIES IN BUSINESS

There is sentiment in the west
against pennies, and it is quite
natural sentiment with western peo-
pie, because they have gene rally OBJ
served that where the smallest change
is dimes or quarters, more people have
money and more of it than elsewhere.
But as mining camp character of the
west dies out smaller change becomes
vital business necessity. Any one
who has observed trade in all parts OF
the country east of the Pacific slope
must have seen the important part
played by the cent. Much of the
trade, aside from the sale OF daily
newspapers in the large cities, in
which the cent figures, is carried on
by children. And it would be curious
to estimate what the demands of the
little ones amount to in the trade OF
nation like ours-the number Of acres
devoted to production, the armies of
tOilers supported, the fleets Of vessels,
trains of cars, rows Of buildings
erected and occupied, the clerks, ac-
countants, packers and porters-in
brief, the mighty scene OF busy life all
developed, created, sustained by the
wants of the little ones, "whO come
with penny in hand" eager to expend
it. In the oldest and most crowded

the conduct of this immense re-
tail traffic, and the sapee and
centime are used worth respec-
lively the one-tenth and one-tifth of a
cent. Annihilate these very small
coins and the trade conducted by
them is almost destroyed, if not en-
tirely. How very foolish is our west
ern policy of doing without the cent.
We turn up our noses at the idea of
passing cents. We are satisfied that
the common use of the cent would
cause an increase Of retail trade u
the amount of many thousands Of dol
lars per year in the Bellingham Bay
cities. The capacity OF consuming |:
limited only by opportunity. The
railway fever which broke out il

Right Kind of People

WhatcOm Express; The Fairhayen
Land company know how to make good
times. Their large mill is not making
any money, as the output exceeds the de.
mand: but rather than shut down and
throw hundreds of men out of employ
ment, they cut and pile the lumber up for
future trade, and sell IL at actual cost 1t
is this kind of work by pushing, farseeing
business men that has a good effect and
makes things come out all right in the
face of obstacles. II is said one of the
stockholders objects to this way of doing
business, but the balance say that the
idea of simply pling up money and not
looking for the future is wrong, and that
no city can be built up by shutting down
he industries,

SAD EVENT

The remains Of George ii. Judson,
whose untimely end was so suddenly
announced last evening, were carried
through this city under circumstances
which surrounded their arrival with
unusual sorrow.
Upon every hand the emblems OF
gaiety in welcome Of visiting Knights
adorned the streets, when without a
moments warning, our guests were
called upon to perform mournful
duty to their departed brother. The
First Regiment band, Of Seattle, was
playing to large and delighted throng
Ia the rotunda Of the Hotel Fairhaven
when orders came to "fall in" and the
CAV music Of the moment was changed
TO the solemn roll Of the drum and the
funeral dirge.
With quick but steady tread the
officers Of the Grand Lodge, divisions
of the Uniform Rank and brother
Knights, marched to the depot where
lay the remains, and with character
istic celebrity a procession Of five hun
dred Knights was formed in funeral
cortege, following the hearsc contain
ing the lifeless body Of their departed
brother.
Too much cannot be said in praise
Of the Knights for the prompt re-
Spouse, and yet the quiet dignity with
which such appropriate respect was
paid to the deceased. Few Of the
visiting Knights had personally known
their dead brother in his lifetime, but
with the precision which follows mill
tary training, the solemn procession
was formed and appeared upon the
streets before the public was aware OF
the sorrowful nature Of the gathering
Thus do the Knights Of Pythia'
always exemplify in earnest practic'
and detail, every phase OF a brother
stay beneath the stars, in life or il
death, with that charity, brotherhood
and attention that makes life the bet
ter in its living. They are fraterna
in life and health, watchful and care
full in sickness aud death, sOrrowin
and sympathetic among themselye
and the bereaved, when mother cart
has covered all.
The example is one to be admired
commended and copied, for in sue
action is found an exempilication {
that most loveable Of all the grace
without which all is as empty I
sounding brass or a tinkling Gym

LOSS OF GOLD IN HANDLING

Every time 81 ,OOO, 900 worth Of gold
coin is handled in 5000 sacks by men
lifting to a truck s. worth is lost by
abrasion, and by the lifting back again
the same amount. These experiments
were made by the United States mint.
You cannot lift up and set down one
sack containing 5000 without loss
OF p cents, handle it as carefully as
you can. Some years ago before the
war the Boston banks got into snarl
about the loss of $4,000 on a few
millions worth Of gold that had been
handled in sacks. The money had not
been carried much or long, and no one
dreamed of the loss till it was sug-
getsed. At the time Of inquiry most
OF the gold had fallen into the hands
OF one or two banks and they we're not
disposed to bear the whole loss. Ger
tainly that is beautiful substance
for honest money-the boosted honest
money. Strange that so many people
cannot see that absolute legal tender
and all good money circulates for the
same reason that metallic money does,
namely, the confidence placed in 1T;
that confidence is trust, and trust is
credit and that the three are links
precisely the same in one great chain.

Wonderful Washington

Ellensburg Capital: 1t is said that an
effort will be made to save the big blocks
of coal from the Roslyn mine, which were
used in the arches at Tacoma on the occa
sion of the presidents reception, for use
at the Words fair. One OF these blocks
weighs 1900 pounds, and is the largest
ever produced in this state. 1t is proposed
to have the arches in the Washington ex-
hibit made only of the productions of the
state, and the blocks of coal may be util-
lied in this manner. This will be a good
advertisement for our state and county al
the grandest exposition the world has
