commended for the stay-at-home traveller.

How AN OlympIan Got Even with "a
Greedy Editor.

How AN OlYmpIan Got Even with "a
Greedy Editor.
News comes that voters east of the
mountains are secretly opposed to the con
stitutional amendment to be voted upon at
the coming election because they regard it
as tax.
This brings to mind an incident in the
fight over the location of thestate capital,
wherein an editor, hailing from Eastern
Washington, became distinguished for his
greed. Only a few persons in Olympia
know of the occurrence, however. He
came here, went to a leading citizen who
was laboring zealously to create a senti-
ment in favor of Olympia as the seat of the
state government, and demanded dough" !"
If something was not provided at once to
satisfy his craving for gold, he would turn
his journalistic battery upon the PROPOSE
ton to locate the capital here. He hap
pened to have considerable influence in a
certain well-knOwn town, and the Olympia
capitalist decided to do something to Sc
sure his support.
81 haven't any money, but ] have
some lots. How would you like lot2"
"Are they worth anything2"
'They certainly are"
And you haven't any money!"
''Not a red cent"
''Ghen I'll take a lot"
He was shown several good pieces OF
property and told to take his choice.
Soon after his return home his paper
came out with lengthy editorial lauding
olympia as the best place in the state for
the location of the capital
Inside of a week, however, the Olympia
man received a telegram that read some
thing like this:
How much is that lot worth ?"
The answer was:
-Four hundred dollars -
Then came stunning demand:
Send me four hundred dollars at once.
Other side offers more. Must have
money.
There was no way to evade the ultimat.
um ana the money was sent in gold coin,
After the battle was over and broken
friendships had been repaired, the editor
from eastern Washington came to Olym-
pla in company with his wife. They
called upon the gentleman who had SC
oblgingly sent the S400 without stopping
to discuss the ethics of the proposition.
"Pshaw," said the Olympia man, ''you
were too hasty about that lot. It's worth
$1,000 now. Lots all around it ale selling
for $1,000 each.
This made the EDITORS better half boi
with fury.
II knew he wasn't doing right" she ex
claimed with considerable asperty; THAI
was my lot and he had no business to sell
1t for S4O0. l tried to reason with him but
he wouldn't reason. He was determined
to have his own way in spite of all
could do"
Then she turned on her husband and
"chewed him up in the good old-fash-
Toned Caudle style.
The Olymplan adroitly added fuel to the
ire by telling fables about the fortunes in
Olympia real estate. Afterwards he showed
them some property and almost succeeded
in selling the EDITORS wife a nice slice OF
land for about four times its market price
All this time the chasm between husband
and wife was growing wider and deeper
The editor from Eastern Washington re-
tnrned to his home near Walla Walla with
wasp in his bosom while the Olympian
went home and laughed.

A QUESTION OF DAMAGES.
what Property Owners Must DO to
Get Street improvements.


Get street improvements.
question of considerable interest was
raised at the council meeting last night.
1t relates to the right of property owners
to enforce payment for damages caused to
land by cutting away the support from
abutting property.
A decision of the supreme court of recent
date makes the municipal government
liable for damages in cases of the kind in
dlcated. The council, in view of the ex-
tenslye improvements now in progress,
considered it best not to proceed with any
more street grading until some action had
Deen taken relative to the rules to
be observed. Unless the property
owners on the street where the pro-
posed Improvement was to be made
expressly waived claims for damages. it.
was deemed unsafe to make such improve
ment. The matter was discussed at con
siderable length, but definite action was
postponed until the meeting set for 4
O'Clock this afternoon, when an opinion
from City Attorney Linn will be heard
upon the subject.
After debate the council rejected the
proposition of the county commissioners
TO lease the city two rooms in the court
house basement for $50 per month. The
present quarters of the council will be
made more comfortable and it is quite
likely vault for the city records will be
built in the rear
Allowances were made for the sewer pay
roll, amounting to S309.20, and the street
pay roll of $447,75.
Petitions were presented for permission
TO adopt the grass plat system along the
sidewalks on Fourth street east of Central
and on Main from Maple park to Twenty
fourth, were referred to. the appropriate
committee.
