Rainfall VS. Irrigation.

The "Oldest inhabitant" declares
that the present winter is the most
open and has less cold weather than
any winter ever known in the country
before. Except for very short time
on two occasions the thermometer has
been from ten to forty above zero.
The snow fall has been corresponding
ly light. The reserve in the noun
tains is so small that ordinarily the
farmers would be alarmnd at the short
supply of water for the coming sum-
mer, but for the fact that the ground
is thoroughly soaked with water
In addition to this advantage it is
noticeable that the fall of rain in
creases each year. Should this change
continue and the rainfall continue for
the next ten years as it has for the
last three, the irrigation problem will
have solved itself and a system of
drainage be found necessary ON the
low lands. The changes made in
other arid regions, brought about bv
cultivation of the soil and growth OF
trees and vegetation, is evident proof
that the theory Of transition that
makes the "desert blossom as the
rose" has taken hold of this locality.
AS western Kansas was transformed
from from the arid desert to fertile
farming country by settlement and
cultivation, so the arid sage brush
land is being brought into better con
dition for cultivation each year by the
advent of increased rainfall The
coming year VIII be test rs to
whether these conditions are actually
taking place, as the water supply will
undoubtedly be less than usual.-El-

DOWNFALL OF THE TERROR.
From the wild and wolly West,
Came ripping roaring pest,
With gun;
When he struck the town he said
He was going to paint it red,
Just for fun,
Then he leaped up in the air
And he came down fair and square
On his pins;
He was deadly bad you bet,
And he hadn't much regret
For his sins.
With whOop he started in,
And he filled his tank with gin
Awful stuff
"Just to get himself in trim
In a sea of gore to swim,"
With his bluff.
Through the town he made streak,
And the people made a sneak
Quickly skipped
When this terror from the coast,
Like limb of Satan's host,
Reared and ripped.
Round about he ragged and tore,
Putting up an awful roar
Just for ''blOOd"
For time he rased and blOwed,
But ere long he hit the road
With thud.
Twas an awful sad mistake
That this "wolly boss" did make
When he struck
Little sawed-off "FOotball jack"
Who at college was "half-back,
"Just for luck"

Trouble has been brewing in the
Capitol Commission for some time
past, and eliminated Tuesday in a
bolt of surprise, Governor McGraw
having issued the mandate removing
John McReavy from the Commission
for misconduct in office" The
Olympian of Wednesday contains a
statement from McReavy, but as the
Governor has not made public the
facts upon which he bases the remov-
al, the JOURNAL is not inclined to
comment on this action at this time,
The Commission is one of the most
important positions in the state, build
ing as it does for our posterity, and
all its members should esteem it as
such; and any action this commits
sion or the governor may take, is of
course supposed to be done on mature
dellberation. Mr. McReavy alleges
that the reason for his removal is his
refusal to coincide with the governor
in his choice of capitol plans. We re-
greet that citizen of Mason County
should be placed in this embarrassing
position, which concerns the whole
county.
Following is the Governors official
order of removal
], j. HI. McGraw, governor of the
state of Washington, being satisfied
that John McReavy, a duly appointed,
qualified and active member of the
state capitol commission, was guilty
of misconduct in office, do by virtue of
the'power in me vested, hereby re-
move the said John McReavy from
his Office as member of the said state
capitol commission, and the vacancy
existing by reason of said removal ]
do fill by the appointment of Thomas
Burke of King county, Washington
The Olympian-Tribune comments
as follows on the actions of the Gov
ernOr:
"The people of this state must re-
get the necessity which has compell-
ed the governor to remove Mr.. Nc
Reavy from the capitol commission.
And of all the people none, we
apprehend, can regret such necessity
more than the governor himself The
official record of the removal refers to
none of the particulars of the mis-
conduct in Office The governor has
made no statement of the facts con-
nected with the designated offense.
Whenever the time comes that it is
necessary or proper for him to specify
the facts upon which is based his Off
cial act, the Olympian believes they
will be found to furnish ample justifip
cation for the executive order of yes
terday"
THE Northern Pacific wage question
is still unsettled, and the prospect is
for a general strike over the whole
system soon, unless come compromise
is effected. A strike on the n. P.
would work considerable injury to
this section, as we'll as to the strikers.

Henry Latham was in from the Sko-

the water higher than ever before, in
his time, by ten inches, and tells some
amusing experiences-nots so funny to

AT THE HOLY sEpULcARE.
Turks Whc Inherit the Privilege of Levy

ing Tribute on .he People.
One of the most incongruous sights
at the Holy Sepulchre is the Turkish
divan just inside tie entrance, on
which a couple of iIidolent Moslems
recline, gazing with apparent indiffer-
ence at the devout pilgrims who pass
through the gate, but really scrutiniz-
ing them with a view of soliciting
baksheesh. These men may be styled
the jailers of Christendom, for they
possess the right of opening and
closing the Basilica. This privilege
has been hereditary in two families for
centuries. To one of them belongs the
right of keeping the key of the gate,
and to the other one the privilege of
opening it. When any one of the
three communities living inside the
Basilica desires the gate to be opened,
a servant is signaled to call the
representatives of the two fami-
lies After long delay-because
an oriental is never in a hurry except
when he wants a favor-the two men
appear The gate can be unlocked only
in the presence of the two, the old reg
ulations prescribing the attendance OF
both, as the one holding. the key is not
allowed to open the gate, and vice
versa. After having performed their
duty they repair to the divan and pro-
ceed to light the nargileh and fan the
brazier upon which they make their
coffee Charcoal and coffee have to be
furnished them by the fathers, besides
q stipend of money, the price of all
reaching about one dollar for each
opening. The gate only remains open
till about eleven o'clock in the fore
noon. On festivals, when any of the
patriarchs make their solemn entrance,
both wings of the gate are thrown
open, and the price of this ranges from
five dollars to ten dollars, consuls and
other distinguished visitors being ex-
pected to give extra baksheesh.-Nortl

Buffalo feels uneasy because a
leper named Sheehan has been visiting
the town. The poor man, who is a ma
tive of County Kerry, began working
on railroads at Pittsburgh in 1860, and
few years ago had charge of gang
of Poles and Huns. A round spot ap-
peared on his forhead some time age
and has since developed rapidly into
tubercular leprosy. He has been treated
by many ignorant doctors, and is now
doomed to end his days in the lazarettt
