An effort is being made to obtain
legislative committee rooms in the
new court house. The Commissioners
have offered the entire west hall OF
the basement and one room in the
northwest corner OF tie same floor
for that purpose the whole session for
1925.
The Peoples Party held quite a
successful sociahlc and banquet at
Tacoma Hall, last evening. The first
part Of the entertainment consisted Of
songs and recitations, and the latter
part OF toasts and responses, during
which an elegant repast engaged a
considerable attention.
The weather here the past fortnight
has been exceedingly mild, with al
most daily sunshine, VIII lie in the
East the winter has been, so far, OF
unusual severity and ice and snow,
and billiards. and sleet, and conse-
quent delay to travel, injury to prop
ertv and loss Of life, are reported.
The Oiympian says that induce.
ments have been held out to Mr..
Ellis, to remove his broom factory to
Tacoma. If our people allow this
struggling industry to leave us for
want of support, they deserve the
stagnation OF business which invariably
accompanies such a short-sighted pol
icy.
The case OF Estella Elwell vs.. p. S.
c. X. X. company, and Ouellette VS..
the same, were disposed OF in the Su.
perior Court Wednesday. In the
former case verdict was rendered in
favor OF the plaintiff, on the three first
causes of action, for $2,2l5.55. In the
latter case verdict was returned in
favor OF the plaintiff in the sum of
1888 81 and interest.
The weather has been quite cold, for
this country, the past few days; not Of
course what would be called "cold"
east OF the Rocky mountains, but still
frigid enough to command the use of
thick clothing and bright fires. Atm
time has the temperature approximate
ed zero, or indeed fallen much below
the freezing point, but the cool north
wiud which prevails gives King Frost
a sharp edge to his icy sword.
Trevor Kincaid is obtaining quite a
reputation AS bugologist-a much
more comprehensive term than ento-
mOlogist, which scientists insist is the
proper word to apply to those who
study the nature and characteristics
of insects. He has succeeded in dis
covering a new variety of pest which
destroys raspberries, and an Eastern
institution has Latinized the young
naturalist's name in its classification.
The Elks are preparing for grand
4" Social Session." to be held next
Thursday evening. at which, it is ex-
pected, the whole Legislature will be
entertained and instructed. The ses-
sion will probably be held in Column
bia hall, and the usual proceedings"
will be interspersed with vocal music
by Gen. O'Brien and DIR. Gentle,
"chin" music by Col. Visscher, fid.
ding by Gov. Laughton, and comicali-
ties by Mr.. Samuel c. Woodruff.
DR.. Bright's lecture on present
Political Tendencies" in Olympia
Theater, Sunday morning, was a
mastery analysis OF the causes of ma
tional decline. He showed that in
the object-lesson before US there was
much to alarm the student in politi-
cal economy for the safety of our
country. If the range of pulpit effort
was directed more towards the correc-
ton of such palpable errors in our
political system it would undoubtedly
result in an improved condition of
affairs.
Senator Helm, OF Kittitss. is a man
Of superabundant energy. He is q
pusher and no mistake, whether it be
in legislature or matrimony. An
achievement in the latter line will
suffice to illustrate this claim. He
made the trip from the Capitol to
Ellensburgh, got married after mid
night, returned and answered at roll
call the next morning. Fortunately,
however, the mental work OF the SEES
sion was light, and did not draw
heavily upon his well.taxed vitality.
Miss Maud Sterling is the fair bride
Of this very business-like Scion.
The largest audience Of the season
greeted Schilling's minstrels. at Olym.
pia Theater, Monday night. In fact
the business Of this company has
been phenomenal everywhere they
have appeared. At the Marquam, in
Portland, 500 people we're turned
away Saturday night. Here the
theater was moderately full-about
two.thirds the capacity of the build.
ing. The performance was 3 wide de-
parture from the usual programme of
q minstrel company, and embraced
many specialties, including shadow
pictures, Juggling, acrobatic feats, and
Schilling's own inimitable act near
the close.
"The Heroine of 49," by Mrs. n. P.
Sswtelle, M. D., of San Francisco, is q
story that is intended to interest and
educate, rs well as amuse. Its incl
dents are supposed to have occurred
on the Pacific Coast, and that will add
an additional charm for it to many
people who are beginning to think
that nothing superlatively excellent
can emanate from any other portion
Of our widespread domain. The les.
