place ia circulation and influence In the
year OF Its existence. EdItorially 1t is one
OF the really bright papers of the state
the other being the Spokane Spokesman.
The Press-Times Is Seattle's evening
daily, IA Republican paper. and 1t will
stand comparison with any New York or
Chicago evening journal. Each OF
these three papers Is printed on perfect
Ing press OF It's own. Tacoma also has
three elght-page dalies, but they will
hardly match the Seattle journals
either In editorial strength or efficiency OF
news service. The Ledger, formerly Re-
publican, was less than a year ago con-
verted into Democratic organ. The
News, also Democratic, is published every
evening. The Globe is morning daily,
Republican In politics. Olympia has two
dailies, started during the past year, New
Whatcom two and FArRIAvEN one, and
remarkably live one, too. Spokane has
four daily papers. the evening Chronicle
and the morning Review, the former
Democratic and the latter Republican In
politics, each eight pages and printed on
perfecting presses. The
evening Globe Is four-page Democratic
paper. The Spokesman is a really live,
bright morning paper. 1t started little
more than year ago as an Independent
journal, but is now avowedly Republican.
No other towns in the country the size OF
Washington's largest three cities have
newspapers that can be compared with

GOVERNOR BLACK INTERVENE
Pullman Selected Because 1t Was the
Most Desirable Place

Olympia Tribune: George A. Black, of
Fairhaven, ex governor of Utah, for
over two years citizen Of Washington.
and one OF the agricultural locating com
mittee, arrived in Olympia last night,
and today turned over to the state the
deeds for the property. The law does
not state explicitly TO whom the deed
shall be delivered. but u was given to the
governor, aud will be filed In the Office OF
Secretary Of state.
ais there anything In the report that
Yakima will contest the location OF the
agricultural college?" Governor Black
was asked.
Il don't know was the reply. 1--WE
have done our duty consclentiously and
selected Pullman as the place we con-
sidered the best fitted for the college. OF
course. other counties presented claims
mbOdying good reasons why they should
have the college. We visited eight differ
ent counties, and gave the matter weighty
consideration. No matter what place we
would have decided on there would have
been the same complaint and dissatisfsc-
ton. The state wanted an agricultural
college, and we had to select a site before
July /. The only point on which a con
test can be made, Is the appointment oil
I the commission.
'In what court could the matter be
| taken?'
That | don't know either, but In this
case | presume 1t would come under the
| Jurisdiction of the supreme court Ordi-
narily, nothing can go TO this court except
| from the lower court, but this being a
matter that directly effects the state. an
exception. i think. might be made. But
suppose IL was contested don't see what
could be done except TO let the matter
hang over until the next legislature con
vened and another commission was ap-
pointed. You see the result of that. The
state would have no college. and we would
lose the government appropriation for
two wears. Then, in all probability, there
would be the same dissatisfaction with
some other county which didn't get IL. nd
so IL would continue and we would never
have an agricultural college. We've done
the best we could, and while all public
actions are open to criticism, it's mighty
hard to endeav0r TO do your duty
conscientiously and receive nothing
but abuse. We first had 10 select county
and then q place In that county. and In
selecting Pullman we considered We got

Tommy came running to his father
one day with weight of trouble on his
mind.
"Sadie says that the moon is made OF
green cheese, pa, and don't believe 1t,
Don't you believe it. Why notf'
II know it isn't"
"But how do you known
SIS it, papa?"
Don't ask me that question; you must
find out for yourself"
How can / find it out?'
"You must study into it."
He went to the parlor, took the family
Bible from the table and was missed for
some time, when he came running into
the study.
Il have found it out; the moon is moi

made before the cows We're. Life.

Alas for frail humanity The

the impending doom Of this guilty

Mr.. Cleveland forgets he was re-

While the possibilities of Koch's

those of mince pie-that is, the mince
pie of commerce; not the kind your
mother used to make-have hardly
been limited at. A scientific man in
this town gave One-half Of "A CONNER

and even playful bear at Lake What
com and the other half to a member OF
the Young Mems Christian association
from Portland, who is visiting this
town. The bear, from being a model
of sprightly amiability, has suddenly
become just such bear as haunts the
dreams of little boys in the black and
dark night. The Y. NJ. G. A. visitor
went into a trance, after eating the

Our Hotel

Port Townsend Leader: As the steam

look at the town for the first time, ask the
name of the handsome brick structure
which Is most prominent upon the hill
side. The answer, given with unfailing
regularity. is that it is the finest hotel
north of San Francisco. with one excep
tion. The attractions Of the hotel are
not all on the outside; it is handsomely
furnished. fitted with all modern conven-
fences, and managed by hotel man who
gives some attention to his guests. Fair

Might as Well Stay Away

Washington Independent: The ques-
ton Of an extra session is now being agi-
tated in this state. The members of the
last legislature have probably rested up,
and want 10 get back to the work they
neglected last winter. So much time was
taken up In the senatorial election, the
bribery question, and the Judge Sacks in
vestigation that they had but little time
to the necessary and usual work of the
session. IL they cannot pass better
measure for the relief of the people than
the WATSON railroad bill, they might as
well stay away from Olympia.

The man who complains Of dulness
in business in this city and then buys
the goods consumed by his family, the
clothes he wears and everything else
in some other place, is inconsistent to
say the least. If every man, woman
and child in Fairhaven would purchase
their necessities and luxuries in Fair
haven, there would be a gratifying
difference in the business of the city.

They propose to whoop it up for Alger
providing he unhoops his barrel.
The Rev. Mr. Owen, Congressman of the
Tenth district. is very clover politician
after all. Although he has been in con-
eress six years the immigration bill is the
first and only one he ever presented on
the floor of the house. But even in this
he has not failed to remember the Rev
Mr.. Owen. His bill provides for a conf
missioner OF immigration at a salary of
5000 per snnum and while the bill has not
as yet received the signature OF the presi.
dent, the reverend congressman is work
ing hard to secure the appointment for
himself. He is praying man and is now
praying very hard that he may secure this
snap, having lost his grip on the people OF
his district.
Mr.. Cheadle of the Eighth district made
a good speech today against the granting
OF large pensions to the favored few while
thousands of more deserving waited for
years and then only received a pittance.
He spoke of the poor widows, who, after
long delay, received but SS per month.
The members heard him through and i'm
mediately voted to give Mrs. Porter,
widow of the admiral, q pension of $500
per year. The admiral left an estate
valued at 100000. "To him that hath
shall be given"
Green B. Raum, the claim agents COM
missioner of pensions, has been on the
floor of the house during the entire day
and night trying TO get the republicans TO

made pretense OF investigating him, but
he has thus far failed. Republicans are
tired OF him and do not want to give Mr..
