sympathy for the settlers and will do all
that may lie in my power 10 aid them In a
just and equitable settlement of their

can be done IN the premises | will gladly
do. | am certainly interested in the pro-
lection OF timber in cur state as much as
any one can be and much appreciate your

valu. Of s%jess.a quarter Sections.

OLYMPIA, FEB. Is-ISpecial- l-The fol-
lowing report concerning the probable
value Of quarter sections rejected by the
secretary of the interior from the selec-
tons of state lands apportioned to the
agricultural college grant has been made
to the state land commission By Secretary
Gossn:
"The opinion of officers Of the govern
men,, Supported By citizens of Stevens
and Spokane counties. Is that the lands
taken from the state are OF very inferior
quality. Ii is very significant that great
patches of lands have been selected IN
townships the surveys Of which were nled
as far back n 1870. These lands have
been open to settlement Oil these insersen-
ing years, and yet in some Of the town.

high a. sir sections not single settler mas

After entering into detsiled descriptions
Of particular sections, Secretary Cowen
concludes:
.In view Of the uncertainty regarding
the worth of most of the lands In question
and the common report as TO their non.
availability, would recommend that all
the quarter section selections In lists Nos.
I, 2 and of the grant tor agricultural
college be suspended. with the exception
of the selections in township 81, range 80;
township .. range 40; township 81, range
40, and township 80, range %, which seem
to be timber land IN high mountain ranges.
While there is, particularly in Eastern
Washington. great danger Of the loss Of
timber on the high mountain ranges be-
cause Of the yearly fires, the lands IN the
four townships have enumerated seem
to be at present valuable property, if the
statements made to me are worthy OF
credsnce."

Wheat Never SO Low Before.

If there is bull decline in wheat, it took
effective measures to shake out "tallers In
Chicago last week. May wheat broke cent
and the July option went down cents
Partridge sold over 2,OsO, 900 bushels and
steadied lhs market by covering under 65
cents. Some Of the strongest local houses
gave up wheat and other houses had mon
ster line of wheat to sell for Wall street parties.
The trade was sick fran the start. There
was break from Ssh cents 10 63 3-4 cents
Baltic wheat shipments were simply dem"ral-
izing to holders. Receipts at American pri-
mary markets are running away beyond last
year The bear plungers press the selling
and keep the short lines protected by enor-
nous selling of privileges.
May wheat dropped in New York the same
time to 81 1916, or one cent above the lowest
price on record Cash wheat tied the low
price record for its class. The bulls have
forced an artificial high market, which has
yielded at last to the old Law Of supply and
demand. The 'visiblen wheat comprised
over $4,000, 600 bushels, an amount equalled
only by the record Of the corresponding sea-
son last year. The export, however, is I'M
precedentedly light, owing to heavy wheat
crops in other countries.
Argentine wheat is now selling in European
ports at from three to Eve cents Il bushel low

Duly Appreciated.

The Baltimore Sun, that staid and pro-
gressIve old journal, in speaking OF the manly
fight that we have been making 10 progress
sive sense to get out Of the old ruts and push
our county ahead, regardless Of the interior
ences of political demagogues and intrigures
outside Of the county, and The vsggles and
toads which infest several sections in the conn-
", makes the following happy mention OF US:
1.-THE people of Charles county have demon
strated their ability to take care Of themselves.
The Senator and Delegates they have elected
represent the progressive element of the peo-
pie. both Republicans and Democrats. In the
last election they presumed to take their at
fairs into their own hands, and they have had
har d o-hand struggle ever since to main
tain their ground This struggle was begun
before the nominations were made, continued
throughout the campaign and up to the pres
ent moment. At every stage OF the game the
party of progress has won, and to-day's yIndl
cation is the eliminating triumph CT the seri-
es. Mr.. Carrico will not be disturbed in bis
seat as the Senator for Charles county. That
he was 10 peril last week is well known
There was a demand for the creation of
vacancy, if not fer the substitution of Re-
publican not elected for Dnns~sss who was

alone WOulu nave hu1Ouutcu " Dos
he had Democrats at his back, who hoped to
induce Democratic majority in the Senate to
turn down Democratic Senator because that
Senator was not in accord with ruling pow
srs outside of Charles county"
The people who are engaged in the fight 10
advance the material interest of the county
are not OF a migratory get, who spend their
winters abroad and aome Oack to summer for
their own ease and comfort among US. and the
Sun is right in saying we have decided to
manage our own affairs without the aid OF
such persons and their nonresident aiders and
abettors. The best efforts Of this
class of orr citizens are being
spent here to advance the material welfare
Of the county and it is their right to say
who shell represent them. And they have
said SO in electing the men they have to repre-
sent them in the Legislature, the wishes aad
schemes of the poisonous mixture OF a

0rr good Father Wade, preached an ele

not a lasting one. Our wise young priest
said, don't treat, and don't accept Of a
treat +" You say you are habitual drinkers
that you will die if you stop suddenly. Had
you not better die. though you die from stop
drinking to-day, than die drunkard twelve
months hence? Yet he confessed that not
withstanding his preaching for eighteen
months there were nine more liquor shops in
his two parishes. Adopt the suggestions of
