ANOTHER BoNDp

Another Of the peculiar bonds on file
with School District No. is that of Scott
4 Scott. Like that with the other con-
tractor, no sureties are named in what
purports to be the bond and none justify.
The school directors could scarcely have
been ignorant Of the careless manner in
which the bond was drawn, as the follow
ing curious letter to one of the board was
certainly enough to put any careful BUSH
ness man upon his guard:
BUCKLEY. WASH, July Q, 1892.
DEAR Sin. Please excuse the mistakes
in the bond, the actual reason OF it was
that left it in the hands OF inexperi-
enced persons to have filed.
1t is not exactly as it should he at
present, but it is lawful nevertheless.
Will be down this week some time
ready for work. Yours respectfully,
A. ]. Scorr.
The board kindly Excused" all mis-
takes, and the contract was let, although
the so-called bond remains Eat present.

j. u. Megter, Superintendent Of Fisher
les, Tells OF His work.
| For several days j. G. Megler Of Brook
field, WASH, has been in the city attend
ing the exposition. Besides being an ex-
tensive Gamer Of salmon, Mr.. Megler is
superintendent Of the fisheries exhibit for
the state Of Washington to The worlds
fair. Speaking Of his work last evening
the gentleman said; eve have not done
much yet in the way Of obtaining practi-
cal results, but we have plenty Of time,
and will have good exhibit. Until
now my time has been quite fully taken
up with my business, but now the can
ming season is over, will have plenty Of
time to devote to the work. We know
what we are going to do, however. We
shall have plaster casts Of all mercantile
fish that abound in the Columbia river
and OH the coast Of Washington and the
waters of Puget Sound taken, and shall
also have fish stuffed, preserved in alco-
hol, canned, and in all the commercial
"oto titCy utC urCus az uVb-
ent we have but two men employed-a
taxidermist and photographer. The
latter has some OF his work now dis
played at the Tacoma exposition. The
taxidermist has not done much yet, for
the reason that all his time for weeks
past has been devoted to preserving the
whale caught on the coast, and which
will soon be brought here for exhibition
in the exposition. There are seasons for
fish and they must be taken in their
seasons. Yes, we will have fine ex-
hibit Of salmon. In about two weeks l
intend to start out OH tour OF all Of the
principal fishing waters Of the coast and
Puget Sound. The Puget Sound Fishing
company has consented to aid me in
every possible way, courtesy very
much appreciate.
"I think the Tacoma exposition very
anc one, and l very much regret we
could not have some Of our work there.
The photographs 1 have alluded to,
think will be very interesting, however"

Barking Up the Wrong Tree.

barking up the wrong tree" a very
common expression in some localities ac.
cordins to correspondent of the Detroit
Free Press, originated from the fact thai a
dog will bark at the foot of a particular
tree to indicate to his master where the
game is located. While endeavoring to see
the animal he discovers it on another tree.
and 1t finally escapes him altogether. In
its application it denotes that a person has
mistaken his object. or is looking for it in
the wrong place.

The workingmen of this country, re-
marked Senator Hale few days ago
were never SO contented and well paid
as now. The total number of locked
out and striking employees throughout
the country, says Bradstreet's, increased
last week from about $4,000 to 100000
Everybody knows the comparative value
of the two authorities in these two cases.
The American workingmen are as arule
very comfortably circumstanced in these
times, but the Mckinley tariff can hardly
be said to have raised them all into q

Protection is Robbery.

(Opinion OF the U. s. Supreme Court, 20 wal
lace. 657.)
To lay with one hand the power OF the
government on the property OF the citi.
zen, and with the other TO bestow it upon
favored individuals to aid private enter
prises and to build up private fortunes,
is none the less robbery because it is
done under the forms Of law aud is called
taxation. This is not legislation. 1t is
decree under legislative forms. Nor is
it taxation. A tax" says Webster 8
Dictionary, ''is rate or sum of money
assessed on the person or property OF u
citizen by the government for the use Of
the nation or state" Taxes are bur-
dens or charges imposed by the legisla-
ture upon persons or property to raise
money for public purposes.
We have established, we think, be-
You'd cavil, that there can be no lawful
tax which is not laid for public pur-
pose.
1t ia said that benefit results to the
local public Of a town by establishing
manufactures, the same may be said of
any other business or pursuit which en-
ploys capital or labor. The merchant,
the mechanic, the banker, the builder,
the steamboat owner, are equally pro-
motors Of the public good, and equally
deserving the aid Of the citizens by forced
contributions. No line can be drawn in
favor OF the manufacturer which would
not open the Golfers Of the public treas
ury to the opportunities Of two-thirds OF
the business men Of the city or town.

COLUMBIA RIVER.
PUGET SOUND.

An 500 ton vessel is charged as much
ON Columbia river as 2 500 ton vessel is
charged on Puget Sound, and a $500 ton
vessel would be charged over three times
as much. The Puget Sound Tug Boat
company is composed of the largest ship
pers on the Sound, and are therefore in
terested in making the rates such that
charters can be easily obtained.-W. C.

THE democratic platforms, both state
and national, are in most points SO en-
tirely in accordance with the HERALD,
that we can see no earthly reason for
any democrat going off after strange gods.
Every republican, who does not wish to
see the Seattle canal built at sacrifice
of the interests of other sections of the
state, should vote the democratic state
ticket. The success Of the republican
state ticket means success of the Seattle
canal as q factor in the politics of the
state Of Washington. Politics does, and
should, cut considerable figure in in
fiuencing the voter in state and na.iona!
affairs. In the management OF our BUSH
ness affairs at home, however, it should
have no place. After next Saturday,
there will be three tickets in the field for
county officers. We believe Chehalis
county will be much better off two years
hence ii every voter will honestly try to
pick from these three the best men to do
the business OF the county.

Now, the wandering Indian jugglers

ing to cause mango-tree to grow out Of

minutes. And by the way says Mr..

American gentleman has lately proto-
graphed an Indian conjurer doing the
mango tree trick. lie saw the tree, but
the camera did not. 1t produced pho
graph Of the juggler without the tree.

there Is R0 MSstake as to the facts Of the
case, the photographers camera acted

was as much an optical delusion as the

open question: or rather it would. BIZ a

substantiated. But il what is stated did
