MAN WHO KILLED TECUMSEH.]

Erected at the Capital.
While nearly everyone has heard of
the famous Indian leader, Tecumsep,
there are many who are not aware Of
the fact that his death was due to the
bravery of a man who afterward be-
came the vice-president of the United
States. To this patriot and warrior is
to be erected a fitting memorial in the
halls of congress. The work was done
by James Voorhees,, a son of the senator
of that name, and was due to a resolu-
ton passed by the senate that the busts
OF all the vice-presidents who had pre-
sided over that dignified body be placed
in the hall to overlook the former scene
OF their political labors. Johnson was
native of the Blue Grass state, and
that fact may account for his fondness
for fight. He was born in 1881. willie
Washington was still alive. The white
man ruled only in the east, and out on
the prairies in the west roamed the
Indians, and the settlers on the out
skirts of civilization never knew at
what moment they might be attacked
and destroyed. Such continued to be
the state of affairs for some years, and

or Washington Lumber.

Within the next few months more
than 100000 feet of Washington fir
and cedar will be worked up into box
cars for the Great Northern railway,
which has just been let to the Haskell
d Barker Car Company, of Michigan
City, Ind, an order that will run in to
thousands of cars. The step has been
taken In anticipation of the enormous
tonnage the road expects to handle
during the harvest. The contract pro-
vldes that the woodwork be entirely of
Washington fir, with the exception Of
the roofs, which are to be of Washing
ton cedar. Already orders have been
placed for the lumber, among six mills
four Of them in this city and vicinity
and two on Gray's Harbor. In all
there will be required at least $50 car
loads.
The Great Northern, save during the
hard times, has constantly increased
its extended lines, and is now receiv-
ing new freight cars daily. The order
placed with the Michigan City firm
will not be entirely filed before the
end of harvest, but enough cars will
received to aid materially in relieving
the pressure when the grain begins to
flow eastward.

Revival OF Business.

The Westside Mill company are
working night and day to fill orders
which have commenced to accumulate.
All day the big saws eat their way
through the logs and all night the
planners sing their song of industry.
The capacity of the mill is 10000
feet per day and il is working up to
the limit. Most of the lumber is
shipped east, some of it finding its
way as far as Connecticut. In this
latter state Washington cedar shingles
were introduced about year ago and
now there is a demand for Washing
ton cedar. So far the fir lumber
stands no show in the New England
states, the southern pine having gained
the hard wood market, put our cedar
can be shipped clear across the con-
tinent with profit because of its superb
ority to anything which can be secur-
ed in the east.
The Westside Mill company are en-
abled to operate their planners at night
through the fact of their having lately
put in electric lights. There are two
arc lights and twenty incandescent
lamps in the mill, and they are just as
good to work by as daylight. 1t re-
quired nearly four miles of wire tc
give the mill this service.
The sawmills running on full time
tell tale of good times in the east
which will find their way to this coast
in the natural course of time. Fol-
over three years there have been com
paratively no orders and now they are
coming in faster than they can be
filled. This is not only true of the
Olympia mills but of all the mills in

Some Facts.

Careful and economical farming in
Western Washington is as certain 10
lead to success as any business that a
man can be engaged in. One advan-
tage of this section is that large farm
is not necessary to give man a good
living. In many places ten acres, well
titled, will support man and his
family in great comfort. Twenty and
forty acres are large in many places.
A locality of which this can be
truthfully said is almost an ideal one
from the farmers standpoint. No coun-
try is as prosperous as that one where
the land is held by a number of small
proprietors, each OF whom raises near
ly all that he requires for his own
consumption. The better we become
acquainted with agriculture in West
ern Washington the more hopeful we
feel for its future in this respect. the
more confident we feel that when once
its great advantages, it's wonderfully
fertile soil and its highly favorable
climate become known, the vacant
acres, of which SO many millions are
close at hand, will be filled up with a
contented and prosperous population.
Western Washington is not the
field which a bonanza farmer ought to
seek. 1t is especially the land to be
sought by industrious men who wish

Why Tax improvement.

To the Editor: l read with much
satisfaction an editorial on progress
in the Lakewood" in your valuable
paper of July IL, in which you note
with unfeigned pleasure the amount
of clearing and improvemeing that is
being made by the farmers of Western
Washington. And after mentioning
the many enterprises such as the North
and South canals, the military post,
the great steel plant and car works,
and the expenditure of dollars for
coast Notifications on Puget Sound, all
of which will add wonderfully to Seat
ties greatness, you add "But none of
these things nor all of them combined
mean as much for the future prospect
ty of Western Washington as the
humble and scarcely noticed work that
is being carried on day after day in
the heart of our great forests by sturdy
pioneers"
1 am glad that you recognized
the important part performed by these
humble toilers, who never come to Oul
city without contributing something
to our business men. They bring the
products of their labor and exchange
them for the products of others, and
on every exchange our merchants
make profit.
They toll away month after month
and year after year, with scarcely ;
murmur, producing out of the ele
ments the food supply for the citizens
of our great cities, who, with few ex
ceptions, would not speak to them /
they met them on the street. HOY
ungrateful we are after living off thei
labor to seek to increase their tax be
1cause they have enlarged their clear
ings and added to their facilities fo
feeding us. And this is done that tn

Our single and signal contribution to

apotheosis Of n stockbroker. For the last
% years the well To do father and mother

business. The consciousness that the re-
finemcnts of modern living cannot ade-
quately be supplied in a large city TO
family whose income does not approxi-
mate SIC, 900 year is n cogent argument
in favor Of trying To grow rich rapidly,
and both the promising young man and
the general utility man welcomed the new
calling with open arms.
Impelled by the notion that here was
vocation which required no special knowl-
edge or attainments and very little cap
ital, which WAS pleasant, gentlemanly and
not unduly couiining and which promised
large returns almost in the twinkling of
an eye, hundreds and thousands of young
men became brokers, chiefly stockbro-
kers, but also colt n brokers, note brokers,
real estate brokers, insurance brokers and
brokers i'm nearly everything.
The field was undoubtedly n rich one
for those who first entered II. There was
a need for ,he broker, AID he was speedily
recognized as valuable addition TO the
machinery of trade. Many huge fortunes
were made, and we have learned 10 asso-
ciate the word bToaer with the possession
of large means, an imposing house on
fashionable street and diverse Gooked and

nowhere has the vocation swallowed up

that it has done here during the last 80
