STATE PRESS OPINION.

The reform administration of Seattle
might, with q good deal of consistency,
appeal to the courts of King county to
clean out the reformers. When reform
goes 20 the extent OF bankrupting the city
treasury and robbing il of nearly all the
available cash, IL Is about time that some
other method be adopted. There has been
entirely too much reform" IN the present
administration of the city of Seattle
EreIen Times.
IL cannot be said that the iumbermen of
this state were apathetic. Quite the con-
trary. The lumbermen contributed every
thing asked of them, furnished the ma
tcriai for the building aud were even ready
TO contribute more. The epatLy was on
the part OF the state commission or the
forestry Commissioners. There was plenty
of time 10 get an exhibit such as this state
is capable OF getting together, and surely
the appropriation was large enough. If
the state commission il 10 blame il should
be censnred.-Pugets Sound LuHsbsrman.

ployment of lot of broken down poiiti-

Washington was given prize for a single
yellow fir log. while Oregon was awarded
prizes Tor the best state collection of COM
mereial woods. and best wood pulp ex-
