An Outrage.

The STANDARD does not believe in
unjustly a>saulting corporations, rail
road or otherwise, nor does it favor
legislation unfriendly to capital, hut
when either OF these in any capacity
ceases to be agents OF progress and
development, and become engines OF
oppression and extortion, we belive it
is duty which every newspaper owes
TO the public to champion the rights
of the people by calling their atten-
ton to such acts.
For this purpose we present u few
facts that we have taken pains to in
vestigate, to the people OF this State in
regard to the Northern Pacific Rail-
road lands. An cnterprising logger
OF Thurston county, being DESTROYS Of
engaging in the logging business, en-
deavored to purchase some timber
land west of Olympia, in this county.
IIdu ilt suCCteUcu, lc WOulu idNc CHI
ployed large number of men. OBJ
viously this would have resulted in a
great benefit to the business interest
Of this county. To start with, he
wanted to purchase secs. 5, Z, IL, and
- II 16, 3 west, at the price formerly
fixed by the company, but on inquiry,
to his establishment he found that
under the direction of the receivers of
the road, the price had been SO raised
that it was impossible to do SO. The
price set upon these sections by the
company, based upon their official
cruise, is as follows: Sec. 5, $l0,Ol4.75
Sec. 7, $40, GOO.6l; Sec. II, $9,9OS.GO
Sec. 10, $S,5l9.60; Total, $49,043.56.
An examination of the county records
show that the assessed valuation is,
Sec. 5, $3.50; Sec. 7.$3,340; Sec. II,
81, 500; Sec. 10, $2,0SO; Total, $lO,-
100.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1894-12-07
$4,000
$ig,0I3 81

Such is the exorbitant price de-
manded at this time. The receivers
cannot he blind. We do not believe
that they are aware of this outrage,
nor that the Federal court is party
to this great wrong. We are further
satisfied that it is the work of some
subordinate, who is either wholly in
competent or has some population on
hand whereby he hopes to fleece his
employers. Under the present tariff
on lumber, no man can afford to pay
such price. Compare the figures
this company places upon this land
for taxation with the price asked
from the poor logger.
There is no doubt but that man or
a company has a right to ask what he
or it pleases for his or its property, but
they have neither a moral nor legal
right to give in property for taxation
at One-fifth OF what they demand for
its purchase. Let the Assessor OF
Thurston county take note of this
glaring discrepancy. The legislature
soon to meet should have its attention
called to this matter and legislation
should be ENACTED to remedy this great
evil. We repeat, we do not believe
the receivers are aware of this new de-
parture of the land Department OF the
Company.
Having instituted an investigation
into this matter, we will if possible To-
cate and expose the official or officials
who are guilty of this great injury to
our people. If such a policy as this
is to be inaugurated it will paralyze
the logging industry Of Western Wash
ington so far as the timber lands of
the Northern Pacific Railroad are con-
cerned.

The County Fair.

Neil Burgess name, Of itself, should
be sufficient to ensure large audience
for "The County Fair" Wednesday
night, but when it is considered that
the play is one of the greatest sue
cesses OF modern times, there is no
doubt but that the patronage will be
with its merits. The
racing scene is effected by machinery,
a revolving platform, by which half
mile run is made, with actual horses, in
the most realistic manner. This de-
vice is patented, and was the subject
of illustration in the Scientific Amer
lean, when introduced. The play
serves the purpose of furnishing the
framework for a picture of simple
New England country life. Its heroine
is Abigail Prue, the strong-minded,
unsophisticated, though shrewd and
warm-hearted spinster, and is a clear
ly drawn picture of certain phase OF
human nature. Realism and rusticity
are the keynotes to the triumph of the
comedy. 1t has just enough dramatic
interest to keep the mind from dwell
ing on the cows, horses and haymakers
and presents several realistics items.
The treatment of the play is epitomized
in the New York Herald in the follow.
ing: "The play is sweet, sweet as the
fragrance of fresh hay and flowers and
the laughter of village maids in mid
Of the great dramatic and
mechanical climax of the comedy
the running horse race-little remains
to be told. 1t is, beyond doubt, the
greatest effort of modern times.

Gabby Daniel.

An article in Sundays Olympian
without signature possesses enough
earmarks to indicate its author to be
the loquacious gentleman who, having
affiliated with all parties within the
past few years without the slightest
recognition from their stupid party
leaders, has now mounted a hobby
which he persistently rides despite the
protests of friend and foe.
He has selected for a text the profit
gate expenditures of the city govern
ment during the boom days of 1890-91,
and has wasted considerable time and
exertion in the endeavor to force
the STANDARD into a defense of
the high-pressure system which then
prevailed in the management OF
public and private affairs. Now
understand, Bro. Gaby, once for
all, there is no chance for hair-split-
ting. your favorite vocation, on that
proposition. Your efforts will be in
vain. On that point, at least we
agree. The writer opposed extrava.
gance then, as he does now, and you
know it and would admit it, were you
not parading for effect. The writer
denounced extravagance then as he
does now, and the record shows, if this
critic wants to be honest about the
matter and appeal to the proof, that
he voted against every ordinance that
was presented involving reckless ex-
penditure OF the city's money. He
warned his colleagues of the inevita-
BILE consequences of piling up indebte
ness without any definite knowledge
OF when it was to be paid, if it could
be collected at all, and the City At
torney, who Mr.. Gaby seems anxious
to draw into the controversy, likewise,
time and again, warned the Council of
the doubtful property of increasing
the city's liability without testing the
legality of the levies made for street
improvement, in the courts. He did
not, like some attorneys, claim to be
infallible in judgment, or 80 thorough.
ly in rhapport with the courts that he
could determine inst what a judges
guess would be on questions of law.
But his protests, likewise, were I'M
needed by a well-meaning but improv-
ident Council, who paid more atten-
ton to the cry of the rabble than the
still small voice OF reason.
in the language of the Republican
platform, few years ago, ave point
with pride" Bro. Gaby to the record of
the lone minority, and You, with all
your exuberance of intellect and pie.
thoria OF words cannot dim its bright
ness nor detract from its glory. If it
affords any satisfaction, however, for
you to gnaw away at file, you are
welcome to make the most of it.

Some miscreant burned George
Saxton's two barns, horses, hogs, grain
and hay, near Goldendale one night
recently, leaving him nothing except
the house and cayuse horse. George
is confident that L. X. Hoover is the
guilty man, and is anxious for his ar
rest. Some time since the two men
disagreed and Hoover struck George
with club, rendering him unconscious.
Hoover fled across the river and since
that time has not put in an appearance
on the Washington side. The fire was
discovered about 2 o'clock at night,
but it was then too late to save any
thing. The Sentinel says there is not
the slightest doubt but it was started
by some felonious-minded person, as
the two barns are about quarter OF a
mile apart and were burned about the
same time. All OF the property con.
sumed will be a complete loss to
Saxton, as there was no insurance.

place, that seemed so safe, although it
overlooked the little village and was in
plain sight of all the passers-by.
The next morning found the pair
again at work. All day long loungers
at the village hotel across the street
saw them going to and fro and scarce
ly stopping to snatch bit of food. BY
evening they had built upon the fiat
top of the black bell a structure that
needed only few more bits of grass
to finish it. But in their haste the lit
tie housebuilders had not considered
that on Monday morning the bell
would go ringing again. The foreman
of the factory, who was kind-hearted
man, was afterward heard to say that
the bell was not really needed and
that he would not have allowed them
to be disturbed if he had known that
they were there; but neither he nor the
boy whose duty it was to pull the bell
rope knew that a pair of robins had
taken possession, and at the first swing
OF the great bell the nest fell off. 1t
appeared on examination that if lit
tie more mud had been used, and if it
had had time to harden, so as to be-
come as solid as other nests that robins
often build land perhaps if they had
not worked on Sunday, the nest on
the bell would have remained in place.
In that case the little mother, sitting
on her five blue eggs, and, later on, the
hungry youngsters themselves, might
have been rocked in that swinging,
changing cradle, morning and night
and twice at noon. But on that Mon
day morning torn nest lay upon the
roof beneath the belfry, and two rob-
ms were flying about, chirping discon-
solately. Soon, however, they took
heart again, looked for better nest
ing place, and found it, not far away,
upon wide, fiat beam in one of the
sheds. There their troubles were at
an end until the little, big-eyed, hun
CRY nestlings had pecked their way out
of their shells a few weeks later.-Our

and there, however, one may come by
chance upon bit of wisdom or touch
of humor, conscious or unconscious,
such as q Youths Companion CORE

PLUCKAE WARDED.
Tow a Brave Phppy Won tho Friendship
of "A Tigres..

During Capt. Whites travels in
Cochin, China, the then viceroy gave
him a magnificent tigress, five feet
long and three feet high.
On reaching Saigon, where he found
dogs dirt cheap, he used to give his
pet one of these animals every day.
The dog was thrown alive into her
cage. She would play with it awhile,
as cat plays with a mouse. Then her
eyes would begin to glisten, and her
tail to culver; she seized her prey by
the scruff of the neck, and in a minute
or two it was all up with poor bow
wow"
One day, however, a puppy, seeming
ly in no way different from the com
mon herd of puppies, instead of tame
ly submitting to Its fate, showed fight.
1t snapped at the tigress' nose, and BIZ
it till the blood came. The tigress, far
from resenting the attack. seemed &c
treat it as joke; and when the spir-
tied little dog got tired of the fun, the
tigress patted it as if it had been Il
cub of her own. Then the two lay
down, side by side, and had comfort
able nap.
Thenceforth they were the best of
friends; and, to humor this queer
friendship, Capt. White had small
hole cut in the tigress' cage, that the
puppy might come and go as it pleased.
1t often took trot abroad, but it al
ways returned to it's dog-devouring
friend.
To test the extent of the tigrcss' af-
fiction, a strange dog was offered to
it one day at dinner time, and was then
hastily snatched from its hungry jaws,
! and the puppy friend thrown into the
cage. But, strange to tell, friendship
