A GLASS FACTORY FOR SEATTLE.

Seattle is to have not only canal
to Lake Washington, and electric
power from Snoqualmie Falls, but
is to be made the site of extensive
glass works. Work is expected to
begin by October l, and the capac-
ity of the plant is guaranteed to be
$4,000 boxes ofglass per year. The
enterprise contemplates an expen-
diture of $50, 900, of which a con-
siderable amount has already been
subscribed, and the company, to be
known as the Puget Soung Glass
Company, promises to locate its
buildings within six miles of the
city.
The details of establishing the
new industry in this section are
being looked after by H. L. Rocelle,
for twelve years assistant to Theo-
dore A. Zellers, of the Ottawa, H..
Glass Company, and now general
manager Of the United Glass Com
panies. For number of years Mr..
Rochelle has been looking over the
entire coast for location, and has
finally decided that the Sound
country, bordering on Seattle, af-
forded the most advantages, natural
or otherwise. Mr.. Rochelle said:
eve will build the latest i'm
proved furnaces, and by using
wood-gass for fuel, will manufac-
ture window glass superior to any
in the market, as we evade the
sulphured glass made with coal
and natural gas. Ladies often rub
and scrub their windows and upon
drying them find that the glass is
is still smoky and blurred, the re-
suit of sulphur having been burned
on the surface of the glass and
which can only be removed by
grinding and polishing. This SER
ious defect we can do away with
entirely by using wood for to make
gas. Wood gas is used for fuel in
Sweden and Austria, where wood
is cheap. All of the celebrated
Bohemian glass is made by using
wood for fuel"
LIMESTONE ON SAN JUAN ISLANDS.
"The limestone, which is one of
the component parts of glass, will
be procured from the San Juan
islands, analysis of which shows it
to be exceptionally well adapted for
the manufacture of glass. Ar
rangements have been made for
supplying the company with all the
sulphate of soda needed at a mini
mum cost, which is another import
ant article in the manufacture of
glass. 1t is needless to speak of
lumber for boxes, as everyone is
familiar with Washington's un-
limited supply of that material, also
hay and straw, which are used for
packing."-P.-I.

storm passed over portions of Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska. Many lives
were lost, especially in Kansas, the
fatalities reaching upwards of forty,

very great.

EDUCATIONAL

Being called away last week, 10 at
Tend the STATE Convention of County
.,nperint.ndente, We were unah!e 10
laa1. after the E1Gcationa' Column in
uhc Islander.
THE Convention vas very interest
ing and profitable one, and every
superintendent present came away with
clearer ideas, and with Increased zeal
for his work.
Your County Superintendent was
fortunate enough to secure the services
ofihree able instructors, who will be
with us part of the time during our In
-tit4te. which will commence on the
oath day of next month. Prof. Getz,
Of the Ellensburd Normal School, Prof.
A. G.. Jones, of VashOn College and
Prof B. w. Brintnall, editor OF the
Northwestern Journal of Education,
have each rendered his services for part
of the time. We hope to have a full
attendance of all the teachers and many
of the citizens of the county. Prot.
Jones will deliver a lecture on the
GEOLOGY of Washington, illustrated by
stereoptican views. Prof. Brintnall
will also deliver a lecture during the
Institute.
Schools throughout the county are all
engaged for the summer term; .,owever
the results of the examination of this
week may change some of the teachers
| in some districts.
| Z A resolution was passed.by the County
Superintendent in their convention, at
Tacoma, last week, that they would not
indorse any second or third grade GER
iificates, and left it entirely at the dis
erection Of the Board of Examiners
whether they indorse any certificates.
[ desire in this connection 10 warn
School Boards against hiring teachers
| without certificates, valid in this
county, as they may be without teachers
after the examinations are over. L de-
sire the very best teachers in this
county and shall do all in my power to
give them to the patrons. Many Boards
are careless about the manner of hiring
teacher, they should always have a
meeting of the entire board and make
the contract in session. Some day a
director will find himself involved for
contract for which he is personally re-
sponsible, if this is not needed.
Next week | desire to speak of reports
and the duties of the district clerks in
this respect. I. l.. d.
