Our Portion of the Semi-An-

School Lands
New Cases Filed in the Super
ior Court Items Cleaned
in Two Cities

The second apportionment Of the
state school fund has just been made,
which gives Whatcom county
81 l722.75. The first apportioument
was September, 1891, and amounted to
S67l.75 for this county. The appor-
tionment is the interest on the state
school fund and is divided among the
counties according to the number of
school children. When the territory
Of Washington was made "a state every
sixteenth and thirty-sixth section,
containing two and one-half million
acres, was set apart to be sold for not
less than 10 per acre, and the moneys
80 received to be invested and the in
terest devoted to the public school
funds. There is one school section in
side the city limits Of Tacoma valued
at 81 100000 One-half Of school sec
ton No. Is lies inside the city limits
Of New Whatcom.
The interest from the moneys re-
ceived for the sale Of these school sec
tons will, in time, give this state the
finest school fund Of any state in the
Union.

SHERMAN'S CANAL BILL.

Greater Security Given the United States

The Nicaragua canal bill, which has
held the attention of the Foreign Rcla-
tions Committee since the beginning Of
the session, has at last been completed,
and was favorably reI orted ty its au-
thor, Senator Sherman. The new Till.
according to a Washington corresron-
dent, is drawn on substantially the same
lines as the bill reported from the com
mittee to the last Congress, including,
as it does, a proposition to guarantee
bonds OF the company to the extent of
S1GO, ,C00, 900 to aid in the construction o
the canal. The new bill, however, con
tains some additions which increase the
obi cations Of the company as well as
the security OF the Government. For
instance, in the second section the real
and personal prol erty and franc hises OF
the company are included in the liabili-
ties. in the third SCI tion it is provided
that all OF the stock heretofore sub
scrited for CT issued shall be q led in

best remedies" After touching upon
the interesting life history of the COM
mon house fly, the lecturer discussed
the mousquito, the female of which, as
is the case with most insects, does all
the damage, the male seldom leaving
his breeding places, and contenting him
self with vegetable rather than animal
juices. Contrary to the usual idea,
the mOusquito is not naturally a blood
sucking insect, but seems to have ac-
quired the depraved habit of attacking
warm-blooded animals as an exceptional
trait. This is shown by the fact that the
mousquito is particularly numerous and
vicious in the Arctic regions, where ami
NAL life is rare. None OF the remedies
proposed for the wholesale destruction
of the species, such as spraying, burning,
etc., are available, because of the in
sects' omnipresent character and great
fecundity. To rid a chamber of mos
quitoes he recommended the use of pyTe-
thrum, mGistened and made into cones,
allowed to dry, end then lighted at the
small end. In II tightly closed room the
fumes arising from these cones will stu
pefy or kill such mosquitoes as are pres
ent.

APKOTECrIvF TARIFF.

The system of tariff legislation which
levies duties on imports such as are AIDE.
quate to establish and maintain indus
tries, insuring high wages to laborers,
is called protection.
The amount Of protection needed is
determined by the difference in the cost
. of production at home and abroad.
For instance: If, because of high
wages here, it costs $50 to produce a ton
. of steel rails, and because of low wages
t only costs $50 in England, then steel
rails need n duty of about so ton to
keep our mills open and to protect our
own wOrlsmcn from the low wages
abroad. -Again, if it costs seventy cents
, bushel to raise barley here and only
forty cents bushel in Canada, then bar
ey needs protection to the amount of
thirty cents a bushel
If duty is imposed on any article less
han the difference in the cost of produc-
zion, it cannot be protective. Twenty
cents per yard might be a protective
luty on a grade of plush, while eighteen
Pents per yard might not be protection
BIT all.
A protective tariff system not only
means high duties on some things. me-
linn duties on others, and even low du-
les on certain articles, but it means no
uty at all on such things as we cannot
produce or manufacture in sufficient
Quantities for our own use.
On tea and coffee, for instance. we lew
10 import duty, for we cannot raise
hem in this country.
And raw sugar, too, we admit free of
uty, for we have not yet developed the
Industry sufficient to supply our own
|eople. So, instead of duty bounty
given.
A protective tariff, therefore, besides
eing source of revenue, de-
elOpes and maintains our agriculture
nd innumerable manufacturing indus
les; it enables us to pay our millions of
Eorkmen high wages, thereby insuring a
ONE market of several times greater
hlue than the whole worlds markets
Dmbined; it keeps hundreds of millions
dollars in this country that would
therwlse be sent abroad to paw for
lings we can raise and manufacture
urselves; it incites invention: it en-
bles us to keep our wives at home in
ead of in the shop or the mills: it ena-
es us to educate our children; in short,
makes us the most prosperous, most
Pntented and happiest people on the
zee of the earth.
