$500 PER YEAR

last winter, when movement was on
loot to remove the school OF science from
Pullman to Spokane, The Review was
prompt to raise its voice in opposition to
the proposition. Having taken broad
view OF the question at that time, even
to the disadvantage of its home city,
and therefore OF itself, this journal
could not consistently or in reason take
a different position at this time.
According to the reports in the Ledger
the regents are saying that the
location at Pullman was unwise and un-
satisfactory. In the first place this con-
tention is untrue, and in the second place
ii it were true the situation should in no
wise concern the present board of re-
gents. Their duties rest with wise and
honest administration OF the laws and
the affairs OF the institution, and they
will do well to limit their efforts to their
clearly defined duties.
Pullman sits in the heart of the rich
est agricultural section in the United
States-a section which has made the
state famous-which is to this state what
the bluegrass section is to Kentucky, the
corn lands to Illinois, Iowa and Missouri,
and the cotton belt to some of the south
ern states. The claim, therefore that
the present location is unsuited to an ag-
ricultural college and experiment sta
tion falls to the ground.
Even, however, if this claim were true
in measure, which it is not, attempts
at removal and wrecking would be both
unjust and unwise. They would estab-
lish a vicious precedent that would lead
to instability in the future. Once enter
upon that, policy and each succeeding
session OF the legislature would develop
similar efforts to put various state insti-
tutions on wheels and roll them off to
other towns then in the political ascen-
dency.
The board of regents can not be OBJ
livious to these evident facts. They
nusU see that reports OF this nature, ii
allowed by them to pass unchallenged,
throw upon them a suspicion OF political
intrigue, and at the same time serve to
impair the success and usefulness OF Il
great institution TO which they owe loyal
and high-minded support.
Silence in the face OF these reports would
be taken as confession OF political in
trigue and MreGking plopensitv.

CITY BOND ELECTION.
Why Every Citizen Should Vote in
Favor of tie Proposition.
If Carried Interest on City Debt will be
Greatly Reduced.

There seems to be some misundestand-
ing in regard to the effect of the election
on June 10th to vote on the bonding
proposition; some believe that if the
election carries the debt OF the city will
be increased. The idea is in error. The
purpose of the election is to ratify the
Indebtedness already incurred and from
which the city has received the benefit,
and is evidenced by warrants, some of
which are year old; these warrants
draw 10 per cent. interest. Ii the city
bonds money can be obtained at six per
cent. interest and these ten per cent
warrants can be paid off, and the effect
therefore, OF the election will be to
change the form OF the Indebtedness,
and reduce the rate OF interest from Otto
6 per cent. There is no good reason,
therefore, why the election should not
carry unanimously. Again, unless the
city bonds and pay off these old warrats,
no one will be able to sell warrents is
sued for work, or any other purpose, for
several years-all who are interested in
the future growth of thetown will vote
Eyes" Those who want to see the town
die can helpit along by voting mo-"
A good vote should be polled, as bond
buyers look with suspicion on bonds
voted by a small proportion OF the vot-
ing population. Let every voter turn
out and cast his ballot in favor OF the
towns credit, and vote "Yes."
There are two propositions submitted,
namely, "Shall warrants issued prior to
February LIST, 1893, be ratiied?" and
"Shall the city bond for $23, 900 to fund
the warrants so ratifed2" Each prop
osition must carry in order that bonds
be issued.
The Goth is the last day on which you
you can register for this election. Do
not fail to register.

Suicide at Pine City.

Another woman, weary Of LIES con-
slant struggle, has ended her earthly
career, says the Gazette. The suicide
was Mrs. Sarah Nihaul, residing on a
farm two miles from Pine City, this
county. She swallowed strychnine last
Sunday morning. The members OF the
family were all absent from the house
when the fatal dose was taken. Soon
she eroaned so loudly from the eXcruci-
ating agony brought on by the poison
that a small daughter gathering flowers
near the house was alarmed and ran in.
She found her mother suffering terribly.
The woman told the little girl what she
had done. The husband and family were
hastily summoned. They attempted to
use antdotes for the strychnine, but the
unfortunate woman resisted all efforts
and soon died.
The woman was the mother OF seven
children, six OF whom are at home. She
was 43 years old. The family has been
in theIstate seven years, removing here
from Missouri for the benefit OF Mrs,
Nihaul's health, She has a number OF
times threatened to end her lie. She
was buried at Pine City on Monday.
Coroner Shaw was notified OF the sui
eide by wire from Rosalia. He drove
over to Pine City, and, after interview
ing the members OF the woman's family,
decided that an inquest was unnecessary.

her music class, in Reaney's hall, last
Monday evening, was well attended, and
all present were more than pleased. Each
pupil exhibited great skill on the piano,

Mrs. Lindley's ability as teacher.

The Arctic Highlanders.

The Arctic Highlanders are, from their
environment, nomadic race. They
rarely have their summer abiding place
where their winter settlements are, and
the dwellings for the two seasons are of
entirely different character. Their winter
huts, or igloos, are of two kinds OF con-
struction. Those for temporary use
while travelling are built Of snow or ice
Those for permanent use are located
where the fierce northwest winds are
tempered by great cliffs, and are built of
stone; an entrance to each is had through
lcng, low tunnel, and both are covered
by turf. The interiors are about six
feet square and high, and lined with
skins, with the fur outward. One-half
the interior is taken up by platform on
which the family sleep and sit, and the
other halt is used as receptacle for all
kinds of filth and refuse. In these con-
stricted quarters five, six and sometimes
more Eskimos swelter in terrific heat
from small oil lamp, and enjoy them
selves during the long arctic night,
which lasts from the first week in No
vember to the middle of February. This
enjoyment consists in eating, sleeping
and visiting.
As soon as the spring tbaws begin, the
roofs of the stone igloos are taken off to
allow the elements to cleanse the inter.
iors, and the occupants betake themselves
to tupics, or skin tents, set up perhaps
miles from their winter habitations.
These tupics are made of sealsk1n with
the fur allscraped off, aud all are made
exactly alike, and of the same number
of pieces. The interiors are fitted up
the same as the igloos and are nearly as
filthy. Indeed, filth and vermin seem q
necessary accompaniment of the Eskimos.

water and hurriedly rubbed it on her
face from her eyes to her chin, and then
scrambled back to the house as fast as
her feet could carry her, where she
wiped the Objectionable liquid off on
towel belonging to one of Mr.. Peary's
companions, and demanded her reward.

TOMORROW.

The robin chants when the thrush is dumb,
Snow smooths bed for clover.
Life flames anew, and days to come
Are sweet as the days that are over.
The time that ebbs by the moon flows back,
Faith builds on the ruins Of sorrow,
The halcyon futters in winters track.
And night makes way for the morrow.
Ard ever strain, of joys the sum.
Sings on in the heart of the lover
In death sings on-that days to come
Are sweet as the days that are over.

Distinctive Features Of New Orleans


ssThe biggest little city in the coun-
try" is what an adopted citizen of New
Orleans calls that town. With but little
more than quarter of million of in
habitants, the Crescent City has most of
the features of true capital aud me-
tropolis. It is among the few towns in
our country that can be compared with
New York in respect of their metropoli-
tan qualifications, but New Orleans leads
all the rest, though in population it is
small beside any of the others. It has
an old and exclusive society, whose
claims would be acknowledged in any Of
our cities. 1t supports grand opera; its
clubs are fully what the term implies,
and not mere empty club houses. It has
fine theatres and public and church
buildings. The joys Of the table, which
Chesterfield ranked first among the dis
sipatiors of intellectual men, are pro-
vided not only in many fine restaurants
and in the clubs, but in a multitude Of
homes. No city has finer markets. Its
commerce is with all the world, and its
population is cosmopolitan, with all
which a long continuance of those con-
ditions implies. Like the greater cities,
it has distinct divisions or quarters
which offer the visiting sight seer nov
ely and change. Its stsiShts" arc the
accumulation Of nearly two centuries,
and of Spanish, French and American
origin. Harpcr's Magazine.

An Extraordinary Tomato.

We see it stated in three or four
papers (and of course it must be SOY that
a man at Rialto has tomato tree on his
place that is nineteen feet high and with
such spread of branches that it shades

green, the fruit of medium size, of rich
crimson color, smooth skin, few seeds,
of delicious favor, and breaks open like
an apple, though without any core. 1t

and promises TO continue Its growth un-

She laughed gaily.
ssWe shall never be reduced to that,

.sBut, dearest, that will be impossible.
You don't seem fully to understand"
ssOh, yes, dol" she interrupted with
a little exultant sort of smile and toss
of her head. ssAnd now please let me
make an explanation in my turn. Mrs.
Granger, your aunt's niece, became a
widow shortly after her marriage, and
was married again to Mr.. Walter Gray.
They were my own dear parents, and
they both died when was little girl.
So now, dons you see that since you
positively decline to take the name of

and get the money all the same; for

with it if it were mine, you know"
could hardly believe my ears, and in
fact scarcely comprehended the situation
until it was again explained to me by my
Uncle Joe.
"When I learned from Mrs. Fosters
lawyers, he said, ssthat Mrs. Changers
only child had been found-and that she
was very charming girl and the niece
and ward of my old college friend,
Frank Patterson, and that they were
spending the summer at this place, why
the idea occurred to me of bringing you
down here and affording you chance of I
getting out of your dilemma one way or>
the other. Now that it is so satisfactorily
settled, trust that you will forgive my
scheming."
But Ethel, like myself, ignorant of
the plot between the old folks, took to
herself all the credit.
"You thought me hard and unfeeling,
Percy; but dear, only wanted to save
you from the misery of owning chat hor-
rid name, and at the same time secure
the money to you. For now that the
poor old lady is dead, it can make no
difference to her, as when she was alive.

Island aye-DWellers.

Benjamin E. Miller, Port Townsend
boy who was on the United States
steamer Bear during her recent eight
months cruise in the northern seas, has
many tales to relate of his adventures and
the sights he has seen. Among other
things he tells of the Bears visit to
Kings Island, in Bering Straits, thirty
miles off Port Clarence and the shores
of Alaska, where there are about 200 of
the most curious islanders that ever vera
seen. The island or rock they inhabis
is about half mile wide aud little
more than that distance long, and the
islanders are cave-dwellers and live on
whale blubber, seal and walrus meat.
On the southeast side, closely nesting
against the cliff, is village of the cave
dwellers. One abode is built over and
upder the other, and to the right and
left, giving them strange, motley APP
pearance, not unlike the recesses in.
habited by bald eagles. There are
narrow caves excavated into the side of
the crumbling volcanic rock, and in the
bottom of each is some of the short ma
tive grass, forming bed on which to
sleep. At the mouth Of the cave and
just in the interior fires are kindled, and
here they warm themselves in the winter.
Skins of different kinds are also sus-
pended outside to keep out the snow and
cold. In the summer the hardy natives
leave their holes and live in odd houses
made of poles constructed near at hand
on the edge or the cliff.
These strange people are usually as
strong and vigorous as can be found any
where. Moreover, they are entirely con-
tented and as happy as people in any
of the great cities of America. They
have no government, no chief, and no
need of laws. Living in families and
setting forth every day in their kiaks
for the whale, seal and walrus, they re-
turn each night to their caves or pole
tents, caring nothing for the outside
world.
Odd to relate, however, prestige OF
the native is determined by the clothes
he wears. As these consist of skins and
constitute rhe wealth of the islanders, it
will be seen that they are not in this re-
StJtCb SO uluCA uailhC NisitiZSA DSoHASs
But the man with more clothes than any
body else has no more authority. He is
respected for his sagacity, but that Is
oil.
Little has been known of the islanders
hitherto. For great many years after
the whalers had been going to Bering
Straits aud the great Mackenzie it was
supposed the huge brown rock was un-
inhabited. 1t was like beacon in the
sea, and abq1 1t nothing was to be seen
nor heard eA pt the roar of the waves
and the weird cries of the wild fowl.
Finally some one discerned smoke ascend
ing from the other side of the cliff. A
landing was made and there the islanders
were found. They said they and their
forefathers had been there always and
that they knew no other world, though
they had heard tnat there was one. This
was only dozen years ago. Since then
the whalers have kept an eye out fol-
them, for they liked the generous na-
tives, who showed many good traits. =
