On Columbus avenue. a point about
$50 yards south from McI.eod's Cen
trail hotel, at Goldendale, stands an
old box house, 8xl2 feet, built in the
early days of Goldendale, and occupied
and owned by the late Victor E. Go
bat. This old house, with its legends
of ghosts, spooks and hobgoblins
since the demise OF the owner, has now
for the first time q tenant in the
person of E. d. Parrot, the airship in
ventor. Since Mr.. PARROTS occu.
pancy, there hovers about this house
a shroud of deeper mystery than ever
rs there has been suspended upon the
front door a sign that reads. "No Ad
mittance." 1t is said the inventor is
seen going nightly as we'll as daily to
this howell, and always locking the
door carefully when entering ant
leaving. 1t is generally believed he
is building the aerial ship in this
secluded place, IS he has promised the
Goldendale people that the ship would
sail next Fourth of July. The Aeria
Navigation Company was recently in
corporated for $4,000. Elgin, q
brother of the inventor, has just re.
turned from The Dalles. where he say.
he placed the last OF aerial stock on
hand.

The Oympiaa, in alluding to its To-
cal contemporaries says L" the weekly
papers are rehash of the Olympian."
The reason of this is obvious, when
precisely the same events, occurring
at the same time and under the same
circumstances are presented for the
weekly write-up. If the daily news
paper does its duty, it should be map
OF passing events, and if the weekly
paper, aspires to be a newspaper il
must OF necessity present the same
outline only differing in shades and
coloring. The use of the word re.
hash" will serve to illustrate: Hash
made OF the same meat, can only be
varied to the taste by seasoning"
and whatever else that journal NAV
claim, we do not believe that it will
claim exclusive use of the same cruet
bottle. 1t can rest assured there will
be no effort made by men of experience
to ape its distinctive characteristics
1t is respectfully suggested that when
1t begins to throw stones again it
close the shutters over it's sky-lights,
or we may be tempted to intimate
that a journal whose main dependence
Is upon Lcdger slugs" for its news, is
not in position to accuse anybody OF
a rehash."

REMOVE THOSE FENCES" The
Oympian very properly condemns
the poor attention that is paid by the
city authorities towards keeping
the plaza in proper condition. 1t
seems that to direct people though the
serpentine walks" and keep them
off the grass, the street commissioner
has placed homemade fences" ut
several points, which are by no means
adapted to the artistic design of the
" Hinglish" gardener who planned the
rockery and lake, and their environs.
That journal, with reason, thinks
that few signs placed conspicuously
on the common, enjoining the passing
throng to Keep off the Grass" would
be respected by all except Coxey and
his band, and the frail fences erected
by the commissioner would be no Sc
rious bar to such vanjals. Having
spent considerable money to prepare
this ornament to the city, it does
seem the proper thing to keep it neat
and tidy, when it can be so easily
done.

Executive VetCes.

tioY. McGraw has flied with Secre-
tary Price the following acts without
his approval: The ",!ciicicncy judg-
mcnt" bill: the tcxt-huok hill. involv-
ing an appropriation OF $4,000; the
Matches road hill, $50 600; an arpro-
,r!a,iun III $1,000 for All artesian well
IN Watla Wnl.a county; All arproprl-
alton Of 81 uo1 Tor the State Hor,icul-
tVral society; an appropriation OF
- olU Tor printing the Legislative
Manual, an appropriation oiSi 800 for
Landscape Improvement at the Eastern
Washington Hospital; Huntley's code
!ur Justices OF the Peace, 5000; bill
ior relief Of John Dorsey, 1910, and
Secs Is to Is OF the amended revenue
hill
The Governors objections to the de-
iicicncy Judgment hill are based upon
the conclusion that. 80 lar a it is in
tended to operate upon existing con-
tracts, it is in conflict with that pro-
vision OF the constitution of the United
states which declares that 10 State
shall pas any law impairlng the OBJ
legation OF contracts, which provision
is liacwisc embodied in our State con-
stitution. The veto OF the appropria-
ton for landscape improvement and
$1,000 for improvement Of farms and
grounds and - 800 for a workshop at
the Eastern Hospital for the Insane is
based upon a conviction that the sus-
pension of the purposes of such ap.
preparations will not impair the use
iulncss Of the institution. The arte-
sian well project is viewed by the Gov.
ernors eyes rs an untried experiment
OF doubtful results, and he thinks the
81 600 for the Horticultural Society is
under present circumstances excessive,
although the object a praiseworthy
one.
The veto of the sections noted Of
the revenue bill is based upon be-
lief that it would create a needless
factor of cost in labor, and introduce
obnoxious changes in the administra-
ton OF assessment, by providing that
Assessors OF all counties, instead OF
Auditors, shall act as clerks of boards
OF equalization, and that Assessors Of
counties of the first to the ninth
classes, inclusive, should extend the
taxes on the tax rolls instead of such
extension being made by the Auditor.
The law already makes County Audi
tors ex-officio clerks of boards of
County Commissioners and the Gov
ernor thinks that as the duties OF
clerk OF the board are OF the same ma.
ture, the work could be performed
more accurately by one who serves
constantly in that capacity. He holds
that any provision requiring an Asses
sor to extend the taxes would be
manifestly inconsistent with the laws
remaining unchanged, and would ma
terially increase the cost over the
present system.
The veto of special appropriations
amounts to about $4,000.

ais. An engraved and published map
of Tacoma showing the urban environ
ment of the mineral claims was ruled
out of the hearing by the register.
The glacial drift of the Puget Sound
basin, as of other sections, contains no
gold in appreciable quantity. Colors
of gold set free from pyrite are oc-
casionally met with the paintings, bu,
it taxes from 500 to 600 of these to
make the value of one cent. Assays
of paintings from unsupported ground
at Tacoma gave only negative results
A single tin sheet Of hard pan at water
level, below $50 feet of cover, afforded
the only trace OF gold, not more than
3 cents per cubic yard. In comparison
with such an occurrence the red
alluvions of Virginia would, measure
for measure, be regular bonanza.
In the first proceedings the son oil
the land commissioner was the attorney
of the mineral applicant. Abundant
evidence has been, i'll vain. laid before
the department showing the employ.
ment OF fraudulent practices in the
interest of the applicant, yet the de,
cision is in his favor and against the
State. The l20 acres in question were
at one time counted to be worth al
least $1,000, 900 for building lots, and
this apparently has been sufficient to
convince those who were charged with
the determination of the point that
the property is "gold bearing"
The domination of the land Office by
outside attorneys and inside law clerk
is altogether too apparent. Whatever
recourse yet lies open to the State
must be sought in the United State,
court. That the mineral applican,
and his co-adjutors have any othel
purpose than to divide their claims III
into town lots has never for a moment
been believed by the citizens OF Taco
ma, who have watched these proceed
ings with mixed feelings of indigna
ton and establishment.

An Outrage Upon the Taxpayers.

The hotchpotch act, called the rev.
enue law, by the late Legislature, is
disclosing marvellous and unbounded
ignorance, coupled with appalling stu
pidity. One of the most glazing fea-
lures is the failure to tax national
banks. Prominent citizens and State
officers we're turned away from the
committee rooms OF these wise men,
while the recommendations OF the
State Auditor and other State officers
were totally ignored by the Joint COM
mittee Of the two houses upon taxa
ton and revenue. There was no one
wise enough to teach them anything,
or even make suggestion. The Pops
were after the banks, hence amended
Sec 3 of the revenue act of 1898
which resulted in taxing the State I'm.
Justly, forgetting that the act of Con.
gress under which the national banks
were organized provides that national
bank stock shall only be taxed Gas
other property" is taxed; hence any
law made by any State contrary te
such provision is null and void 80 fal
as these banks are concerned. Viii

A Public Disgrace.

Under the above caption the Boston
Herald says editorially:

He is reported to have disgraced him.

in a barroom at the national capitol
and to have resisted all efforts of his
partisan associates to keep him within
the bounds of decency. lie thus made
himself a public scandal. Senator
Chandler might be expected to be in a
state of concern for the honor of the
Senate, did it not happen that the man
is OF his own party. Washington il
one OF the best of the newer Western
States, and it is a pity that she should
be thus Inundated by man whom
she has elected to represent her for six
years. The Senate has plenty of faults
in its members for which to answer,
but public exhibitions of drunkenness
on their part have not been among
them since the days of one of the
later Senators from Virginia"

A Washington city special says that
the barracks at Port Townsend will
not be rebuilt. General Otis, COM
manding the department of the Co
lumbia, has reported adversely, and
the Secretary of War has sustained his
report. About the first of February
and just after the fire at Port Townsend
destroyed the old barracks, the Port
Townsend Chamber of Commerce
adopted a resolution asking the Sec
rotary of War to have suitable barracks
erected at once to take the place OF
those destroyed by fire. This resolu-
ton was referred, as is the usual man
ner of procedure, by Secretary Lamont
to the commanding general of that
department. In the meantime SEN
ator Squire and Representative Doc
little made personal appeals to the
Secretary but without avail, they be-
ing put off with the statement that
the whole matter was in the hands OF
General Otis. Now the latter's adverse
report has been made, concurred in by
General Schofeld, and officially pro-
mulgated as final by the Secretary OF
War.
