OF the Abe Lincoln Stripe.

The last letter ever written by State
Senator Thompson was addressed to
the Puyallup Commerce. From it we
clip The following:
There is no good reason why our
laws should be so framed that our
state, county and municipal officers
can and do retire at the end of their
terms with fortune and the money
wrung from the hand of the toiling
mechanic, the farmer, the merchant
and other industries who in these
times of depression can scarcely pay
their current necessary expenses.
AS another election is near at hand,
let every political party say to the
professional politician, take back
seat. Don't nominate any curbstone
haranguer. Sit square down on the
man who only wants the office for the
salary.
Select men Tor the respective Off
ces whom you have reason to believe
will, when elected, be honest and per-
form their duty in its full measure in
the interests of the people, Vote only
for men who are imbued with the
principles of economy. Vote only
for men who will fight for repeal and
amendments to some Of our laws
Vote only for men who will, if posi-
BE, move heaven and earth to reduce
taxation, and the people all over this
grand state will feel high sense of
gratitude for the service of all such
men who may be elected to fill places
of trust and honor"
Senator Thompson was a republican
but he was one of the old Abe Lin
coin stripe. He saw. in the end, that
the trouble was not so much with the
laws RS with dishonest officials. "VOte
only for men who are imbued with
the principles of economy. As
another election is near at hand let
every political party say to the profess
sional politician, take back seat
Don't nominate any curbstone haran-
guers. Sit square down on the man
who only wants the Office for the

The Capitol Fu,' ''u'

The attention OF Judge Burke has
been called to some of the mis-state-
ments of certain papers of "populls-
tic tendencies" concerning the CON
struction of the capitol and the al
legged debt that will thereby be put
upon the taxpayers. To the Post
Intelligencer the judge, who is one OF
the capitol commissioners, makes the
following statement:
"There is no ground for the report
which seems to have gained currency
in some quarters that the state capt.
tol commission proposes to run the
state i'm debt a million of dollars to
build the state capitol. Neither the
commission nor any of its meml ers
would favor such a course even II the
commission had the power to create
such liability on the part OF the
state, which it clearly has not.
Under the constitution and laws OF
this state the capitol can be built only
out of the proceeds of the sales OF
lands granted to the state OF Wash
ington for that express purpose. The
state cannot go into debt to build the
capitol; nor can taxes, special or gen
eral, be levied for such an object.
"The provisions made in lands,
namely, 1872 900 acres. for the con
struction of the capitol ought to be
ample to build a capitol costing Il
million dollars without calling upon
the taxpayers for any help. Compe-
tent judges say it is, but whether it is
or not the law says in effect that the
capitol must be built out of the pro
ceeds CT these lands or not at ALL
Olympian.

The Oystermen Still Ahead.

The Oyster Bay Oystermen can now
secure title to their holdings on per-
fecting their proof before the commits
sioner, according to the decision of the
supreme court made Wednesday:
A. j.. Smith, petitioner, VS.. W. 7.
Forrest, commissioner of public lands.
Petitioner was an applicant to pur-
chase certain tide lands reserved as
natural oyster beds, and petitioned for
writ to compel the land commission
err to make certification, whereat the
supreme court says: Before bringing
suit for mandamus the petitioner
must comply with the law in making
proof to the commissioner of public
lands under the prescribed regulations
OF the office that he is entitled to the
rights claimed No such allegation
having been made he is given ten days
to make allegations that such proof
has been furnished, but if in such time
no such allegation of proof is filed
the writ will he dischaI ged"

70 Keep the Devil out.

A we'll bred man puts his hand over
his mouth when he yawns, but not
one well bred man in ten thousand
knows why. The reason is this
Four OF five thousand years ago there
was superstition common in Europe
that the devil was always lying in
wait to enter Il mans body and
take possession of him. Satan gen.
orally went in by the mouth, but
when he had waited reasonable time
and the man did not open his mouth,
the devil made him yawn. and while
his mouth was open jumped down
his throat. So many cases OF this
kind occurred that people learned t.
make the sign of the cross over Their
mouths whenever they yawned in
order to scare away the devil. The
peasantry in Italy and Spain still
adhere TO this method, but most
other people have dispensed with the
cross sign and keep out the devil by
simply placing the hand before the
lips. 1t is most remarkable survi-
val OF a practice after its significance
has perlshed.-Harrison's Magazine.
This custom is generally supposed
to be followed by thoughtful people to
prevent others from inspecting the
larynx and other internal apparatus.

Railroads Under the State.

Tn late decision upon the Texas
railway commission case the United
States supreme court said "There car
be no doubt of the general power Of
the state to regulate the fare and
freight rates which may be charged
and received by railroads and Other
carriers, and this regulation may be
carried on by means of commission
Such commission is merely an ad
ministrative board crea ted by the
state for carrying into effect the will
of the state as expressed by its legis-
lature"
At the same time the court held that
rates, if established by the state, must
be reasonable, and that is a question
of judicial inquiry, which cannot be
denied to the railroads. This opinion
was prepared by Justice Brewer and
unanimously adopted by the court.
It makes the law on the subject per-
fectly clear. The state has power to
fix or regulate rates. and the railroads
and other carriers have the right to a
judicial inquiry into the reasonable
ness of the rates established by the
legislature or commission. The
state Is supreme over the railroads,
but, In this, as in other matters, the
courts are the final authority.-Led-
ger.

The working of mine the product
OF which is timber is an operation
not to be seen every day, but a note
worthy mine OF this sort is to be seen
IN Tonquin. where in formation of
sand, at depth of from Ia to 20 feet,
a deposit, tolerable thick, of the
stems OF trees, which thousands of
OF years ago must have existed as an
extensive forest, but eventually
became buried by an earthquake or
other similar phenomenon, has been
opened and is now being mined
through gangways. The timber in no
way forms any kind of coal, but is in
good condition, fact to be attribut-
ed to the large proportion of rosin
which 1t contains and to the sandy
nature of the ground in which it lies.
The Chinese work the mine methodic-
ally and use the timber chiefly for
sculptural purposes, collins, treughs,
etc. The stems have a diameter OF a
yard, are 40 feet long and appear to be
kind OF fir very similar to pitch
pine.

News of all Sorts.

OWING to the break in Eastern
transportation lines during the past
two weeks, no fish have been shipped
East. The, fishing schooners have
continued to bring in loads of halibut
from the banks off Cape Flattery,
which so glutted the Sound markets,
! that they were sold as low as half Il
j cent per pound, or a 1OO-pound fish
for so cents-all one could carry home.
Many carloads of halibut are shipped
to Eastern markets in refrigerator
cars each season, from the Sound.
AS proof of our confiding nature,
says the Tacoma News, (speaking col
lectively now for the State of Wash
ington} the News begs to call atten-
ton to the faith which led us to pass
law providing for sealer of weights
and measures, whereby each county of
the State was forced to purchase from
$500 to $500 worth of apparatus for
testing weights and measures. The
dust on those belonging to Pierce
county is how four inches deep. The
firm owning the patents on the ap-
paratus lobbied the bill through.
The United States has brought suit
against the Northern Pacific railroad
in the United States circuit court to
enjoln the company from cutting tim
Der on its unsurveyed lands and for an
accounting of the timber heretofore cut
The timber which is in question stood
along the line of the company's road
in the states Of Washington, Idaho,
Montana and Minnesota and is valued
at nearly $2,Q0O,0OO. Not only is the
timber cut by the company included
but all the timber cut by its cont rac-
tors since July, 1879.
FIVE barrels of Long Island oysters
were planted On Vaughn bay in MAY
of 1898 by James Fulton, a practical
oysterman OF Tacoma. The planting
was for stock company formed here
to propagate eastern oysters on the
Sound. It cost about 500 to buy the
the oysters and pay the freight charg-
es. The oysters were growing nicely
and had begun to increase, Mr.. Fulton
SAYS, up to last fall in the late winter.
Recently he made Il trip to Vaughn's
bay to see how they were getting
along, when he found that someone
had stolen them, only very few
scattering ones remaining. He sun
poses that some fisherman brought m
some of the oysters in a net, thus dis
covering them, whereupon he leisure
ly filled his boat.
THE receiver of the Northern paci-
nc Elevator Company has sold the en-
tire system of the company compris-
ing thirty-nine elevators to Frank
Cardin and J. L. Bibbs, of Tacoma
Mr.. Card:n was formerly superin-
tendant for the company in this city.
The plant will be conducted as
the Tacoma Grain Company. Last
year these elevators sent 1908 Gil cen
tails of wheat to Tacoma. This
amount loaded Sc ships, each ship
leaving 5000 to $500 in Tacoma
but last year was bad one, on ac-
count OF wet weather The proprietors
expect fully 100000 to 1000 900
centals OF wheat to be shipped to this
port from the inland elevators this
season.
