KANSAS PROSPECTS BRIGHTER
Mr.. GrifIith Predicts Good Crops-Aili-
ance Craze DYING Out.

G.. w. r. Griffith, president OF the Seattle
National bank, is in the city and will spend
few days on the Sound visiting the several banks
with which he is connected. Mr.. Griffith is also
general manager OF the Western Farm Mortgage
Trust Company, which operates mostly In the
prairie states. In speaking of the condition OF
affairs in Kansas. he said: '.when came
through the state recently, for 800 miles il was
one vast waving wheat field. The crops are in
splendid condition, and the wheat yield OF the
state this year is estimated at 100000 bushels.
There is a good deal of talk about chinch bugs
and the Hessian fly, but my observation Is that
II drought comes to destroy the crop, these
pests will come with it, but ii rain comes the
farmers will be kept busy getting in the crop,
instead of worrying about calamties. These
pests have also been used by spectators to
work the market
II believe the Farmers Alliance craze has
about run its course and is on the decline. The
more sensible OF the farmers are beginning to
see that the best thing they can do is to stop
talking about their wrongs aud get to work.
No. don't think anything permanent will como
out of the movement. The farmers, or any other
single class, are too narrow a basis on which To
base political party; there are too many o'her
people in this country. Whatever there is sc End
in the ideas Of the Alliance will survive an d
bring about GOOD results.
"The Alliance is not even consistent. 1t op-
poses trusts, but it is organizing trusts itself.
They can never make their cooperative schemes
succeed They are constantly taking up some
new craze and getting bitten by it. remember
in the days of the grange organization
| was called up into Dickinson county
where there was settlement Of Germans.
They had heard somewhere that insurance
companies made 10 per cent. on their capital
and decided to organize home insurance com
pany. They would pay - per cent. on the capi-
tai, 10 per cent. interest the loans they raised
to pay for the stock and have II per cent left as
a sinking fund to cxtinguish their debts. Things
went along very well until the state called upon
the company for n 80 per cent. assessment To
make up the i'm pairment in its capital. Then
the natural result followed
another time was called to Neosho county
bought mill and were going TO run 1t on the
cooperative principle. One man vas much az
grieved because ] eut down his loan from $500
to 81 100 but told him he would be glad of it
before very long. He insisted that they would
make money; the mill was making $50 a
day and they were going to do away with the
middlemen. ! simply told him he was n
farmer, not a miller The next thing heard
OF him was that he was being sued for his share
of the liabilities. One of the creditors had OBJ
tanned Judgment against the company. had
taken the mill and was sning for the balance OF
the debt. Then that man wished he had not
borrowed the 81 200, but it was too late"

YOUNG WOMAN. COME WEST.
W. L. Meredith in Chicago Advising the
Fair Sex.


A Seattle man no sooner puts his name
and address on an Eastern hotel register
than the ubiquitous reporter makes his
appearance, and very funny arc some of
the interviews when they are reduced to
i. cold print. Mr.. W. l.. Meredith, the we'll
known broker of this city, is now in Chi
cago. and is heard from in the following,
which appeared in the Chicago Tribune of
Maya:
"The young women in Chicago who are in
search Of homes should go to the state of Wash
iDgton," said w. J.. Meredith, of Seattle, while
at the Grand Pacific yesterday. "The future of
any young woman there, IL she is a good house
keeper, 10 assured. They are in great demand
in all the cities and towns, as there are about
four men TO every woman in the state
"Some years ago, when Washington was a ter
rtory, young man who lived In Seattle dis
covered that women were needed in the new
country, and after considerable trouble sue.
ceeded in securing 100 young women in Boston,
Mass, who were in search of homes. As rail
road transportation was too expensive he
chartered alarge sailing vessel, and his fair pas
sengers were landed in Puget sound after trip
around the Horn. Uncle Sam took an interest
N the affair and sent government officers along
with the young women to see that no harm
overlook them. Those young women found
employment in respectable families, and today
some of them are the wives OF some of the most
influential men of the state.
~ young man soon after he reaches Wash
ington discovers that he eau support two peo-
pie and Mt once looks around for wife But
unmarried women are scarce, and we have
found that to be a great drawback TO the
country. The real estate men have discovered
this and are talking about running free excur-
sions from some of the Eastern cities for I'M
married women only. There is more than one
way, you see To boom real estate
But Washington is certainly a paradise for
young women who know how to keep house
and If there are any young girls in Chicago
looking for good homes they should come out
with !"

The suspense account is a surplus of
cash over requirements left by ex-Treas-
urer Frank NJ. Pontius to meet any posi-
BILE deficiency in balancing up. The $40. 20
is an old balance brought forward for
some years, and the ''irreducible" school
fund is also relic of the past. Mr.. Phelps
has called the attention of the county
commissioners to the desirability of trans
ferring these flag ends" to general ac-
count.
The following summarized balance
sheet shows what has been done with the
amount received for taxes and from other
sources of county revenue:
The bonded Indebtedness of the county
consists of courthouse bonds, 5000, 900, and
funding bonds, $4,000, each bearing per
cent. interest.
The last levy of 1878, 0i6. 80 is made by an
assessment of III mills on property val
uation of S3S, 07s, 745 OF the amount levied
only $50, l1s.i9 remains delinquent and Of
that sum Mr.. Phelps believes $4,000 will
be collected, the balance probably repre-
senting errors, wildcat properties on the
outside, ETC. The delinquent list was origi-
nally $167, 265, so that there has been re-
markably active collection.

THE report OF the investigations made
by the grand jury at New Orleans, re-
garding the killing of eleven Italians by
a vigilance committee of the citizens,
which was made public May 5, shows
worse condition of affairs than anything
that has before been published. Among
other statements made by it was the in
formation furnished by the Italian Con-
sui himself, that he had on the books Of
the Consulate the names of eleven hun
dred Italian and Sicilian immigrants,
who we're classed as criminals, with the
specific crimes of each. 1t also gives
the record of ninety-four assassinations
committed in that city by this same
class, every one of which escaped con-
viction. With such a record, is it any
wonder that the citizens of New Orleans
rose up en- mass to execute punishment
for offences which the courts from some
cause failed to reach? The wonder is
that they endured this scourge as long as
they did.

DREDGING THE BAR.

By the courtesy of Mr.. Dyer, the
representative of the Risdon Iron Works,
we are able to give, in some detail, an
account of the dredging apparatus which
we hope to see at work on the bar of
this harbor within the next six months.
The original scheme is in the main
closely adhered to, that is, to cut pas
sage through the bar which shall have
a clear depth of 80 feet, and width of 200,
the length of passage which must be cut,
will be about l 200 feet, and there will
be feet of depth to be got necessitating
the removal of from rs to 100000 cubic
yards of matter.
4 plant has been contracted for, con-
sisting of suction dredger, with a guar
anteed capacity of 10000 yards OF sand
or mud per month, and will discharge
the dredged matter through 200 feet OF
piping to the retaining walls on the reef.
The machinery consists of pair of
compound condensing engines, 225 indI-
Gated horsepower, with two sixty-inch
tubular boilers, each Is feet long, to
work the centrifugal pump.
The pump for handling the mud has a
fve-foot runner and discharges through
a ffteen-inch pipe line 300 feet long of
which l,000 will be on floating pontoons
between the dredge and the reel, the rest
on trestles on the reef. These pontoons
and the pipes they carry can be easily
disconr ected and recoupled if necessary,
the pipes being connected by flexible
joints, the mud or sand being forced
from the pumps through the pipes the
solid matter being held in suspension by
the velocity of the water in the pipes.
The cutter will be steel drum about
five feet diameter and five feet long on
the end of shaft projecting from the
scow at an angle OF forty-five degrees
and can be raised or lowered to any
desired depth. The suction pipe to the
pump is secured to a ladder which also
carries the cutter shalt, and the end is
fitted to project into the cutter drum
The cutter gear is driven by an indepen
dent pair of engines.
The dredger hull and pontoons will be
built here of timber. The former being
about one hundred feet long, forty feel
beam and nine feet deep, drawing foul
and half feet of water. The necessary
lumber has been ordered from the Sound
and should be here in few weeks, when
the construction will be begun at once
and in six months the dredge should be
at work. The trestle will be built at the
same time.
The Risdon guarantees the dredge tt
clear away the bar, and if the whole pas
sage be as reported by the last survey
six months work should suffice for it.

ruary without clearing. Suddenly she
popped up at Hilo, with distress signal
flying. Parties who answered the signal
found that the flow Of the leak shown as
its excuse could have been bailed with
hat, and the story that she was a sealer,
bound for Behring sea and blown out OF
her course, was received with distrust,
especially as there was not sign OF
sealing boat or gun aboard, and her pro-
visions were limited to barrel of sauer-
kraut, side of bacon and box OF hard
bread. w. Plat WAS in command, and
the only crew he had consisted of two
islanders, one Captain Larsen and the
other an island navigator. Larsen owns
a ranch on the opposite side of Oahu
from Honolulu; and after lingering here
for a day or two the Annie sailed into
Honolulu and was offered for sale.
Captain Plat arrived ON the Australia
yesterday, but he came steerage, and
| escaped before an interview could capt
ure him. Larsen came up the same way
in January and sailed down with him on
the Harley.
