The arrival Of the ship Cromartyshirs,
from Glasgow, loaded with building ms
terial for the Great Western Iron d Steel
Works-and soon to be followed BY other
vessels similarly loaded-emphasises the
fact that the iron resources of Western
Warrington are about to be developed on
an extensive scale. How much this means
for the State of Washington and its people
only those converssnt with the situation
can realize.
It has long been understood that the
greatest wealth Of Washington lay in its
vast deposits Of iron ore. Great Is is its
wealth of forest, vast as are its beds of coal,
rich - are it, valleys, the wealth Of It's
iron deposits exceeds the wealth Of Ill.
Only the Systematic development Of this
great resource has been needed 70 make
Washington take place among the fore
most manufacturing states Of the Union.
From the time that the value Of these
iron deposits has been understood there
have been various movements looking to-
ward their development. These finally
eliminated in the organization Of tho
Great Western Iron & Steel Company,
which is now building extensive works at
Kirkland. It is for these works that the
material on the Cromartyshire Is intended,
and it is because Of theimportance Of these
works in the industrial development Of
Puget Sound that the arrival of this vessel
is an event of more than passing interest.
The completion of the Great Western
industrial conditions in Western WASH
ington. With the various iron-working
industries which will follow the operation
of these mills and furnaces, iron instead
Of lomber will become the great product
Of this region and labor will find . new
and remunerative employment.

PAYING FOR SEWERAGE.

The necessity for q sewer system has
been felt by Seattle for several years, but
It has had to contend with other necessi-
ties which have come out ahead. Street
planking. water and fire protection were
the most expensive of these, but they
have been met; and the coming summer
will probably demonstrate that the sani-
tary question must also be answered.
Complaints on the part of residents near
Lake Union, in Queen Anne town, and to
the vicinity of the gulches further east
are crying for aid. and the only response
they get Is from the doctor and the un-
dertaker. The blank spaces are filling up
and the accumulation Of refuse matter of
al kinds il reaching point of extreme
danger.
The difficulty in the way, Of course, is
the cost. When the city consisted Of two
streets the construction of a sewer was
everybody's business, and the precedent
was established of paying for such work
out of the general fund. So long as the
annual cost was only s., 600 or s., 600 year
this made little difference. but as the cost
runs up into tens of thousands and the
conditions vary, the payment must be re-
duced to q system of some kind. That
most generally adopted in large cities is
the creation Of improvement districts, az
for street work. Another way. that most
usual in England, is the levy of q general
tax. 1t Is the latter form which seems
most in favor with the Seattle council. 1t
Is not good way. however, except the
cost can be funded in advance II that can
be done and . thorough system u adopted.

An Eastern paper has dug up scrap Of
aforementioned history, which contradicts
the commonly accepted belief that the late
afiront to Speaker Reed broke the record
Of 90 years. On the contrary, the Wing
minority in the lower house Of the 24th
and 18th congresses refused to join in the
vote complimentary to the then Speaker,
James K. Polk. The latter was subse-
quently elected President, however, which
may b happy omen for Reed. At all
events It shows that such surliness il not
approved by the American masses.

imam or A CORPSE

The death Of the Alliance party has
been announced far and near by repub-
llcan journals and yet they seem to
in mortal fear OF the corpse. The Sioux
City Journal prints an interview with
Robert Buchanan, OF this state, who
says OF the recent election:
..The recent election, while q victory for the
republican party, is too close for comfort. We
8 .arcely held our own, but the vote is too light
to base accurate upon"
When asked:
How do you account for the sudden and
vigorous growth OF the third party i'll South
Dukota?"
1.-The causes are many and the natural out
growth of men meeting at regular and frequent
periods to discuss their relations to the body
polite. Discussion and inquiry lead step by
step to conclusions, and there is no escape from
the fact that the agricutturiSu has been unin>tly
dealt with"
In interviews held in Chicago with
members OF the Omaha party enroute
to the meeting OF the republican nation
al committee their main reasons for
wishing the national convention held at
Omaha was for the effect it might have
on the alliance movement. We must
have it, they said, or the Allianc,
will capture Nebraska and Kansas il

In connection with this, he stated that
no difficulty would be found in filing Il

the advantage OF being close to the res

their children, should sickness or any
thing else make it necessary, besides, it
will always be up hill work to induce
these highland Indians to Iiye IN the val

marks that the matter of having the
school opened should be taken upby the

received Tor distribution in this state
three thousand copies OF the accom-

written by Prof. b. L. Fernow, Chief OF

one OF the most valuable contributions
to popular knowledge on the fundamen-

appeared, and it's suggestions with refer
ence to tree planting ON the prairies arc
worthy OF careful study by every farmer
in South Dakota.
1t is q matter OF regret that enough
copies could not be secured for the en-

would secure a copy, for any one who
does not get one from this station.
