Indiana has strict temperance law
which went into effect on the first of
this month. Among its provisions are
the following: Saloons must be located
on the ground floor; must have no
screens or other distractions to public
view; must have no connection with
restaurants or other business; and
must not solicit customers by the use
of musical instruments. A majority
of the residents of ward may prevent
the issuance of license to saloon.
This "scotches the snake;;" a simpler
way would be to kill it.

Legalized gambling in Montana
came to an end at midnight OF June 80.
Though many men now prominent in
the State ran faro games in the early
territorial days, and the vice has been
looked upon all along as legitimate,
public sentiment has so changed for
the better that most of the keepers of
the gambling houses have given up
the business. In Saratoga, also, the
long fight against this evil, which in
volved the change OF the village chart
er last spring, has ended successfully.
President Sturges, who represents the
reform element, threatened to prefer
charges against the police commission
ers unless they enforced the anti-gam-
bling statutes. AS a result of this
vigorous policy, public gambling ceased
in that village on the 9Th inst. The
old Morrissey club-house-one of the
most splendid and infamous resorts in
the country-closed its doors, and
smaller places followed suit.

A Race of Kickers.

The following story from the Fer
gus Falls Journal, illustrated the
strain of pessimiom that perm ates
the system of many people, and causes
them to see everything through glass
darkly. These fellows wouldn't be
happy under any circumstances, and
are chiefly known for their jacknife
work on the corner grocery boxes:
"I was at Alexander the other day
and heard the best crop story of the
season. Four or five farmers were sit
ting around On cracker boxes in the
store where | was selling car of fruit
and each one told in his own way what
tremendous crop he had just cut. One
fellow, probably populist, had listen
attentively and when the others had
finished, broke in and said, These big
crops are not good thing; they are
terrible heavy drain on the soil
That was too much for me and | left. !"

Thought he was at a Caucus.

The house had been picked up by a
tremendous cyclone and hurled and
whirled and crashed through tree tops
and over fields until at last it fell in an
old buffalo wallow, and was riven to
klndling wood. There was a slight
commotion among the debris, and at
last the Kansas man crawled out, stun
ned and bleeding.
He looked about with dazed air at
the new surroundings, two counties
away from home, but suddenly bright
ening up he cried:

convention, withdraw my name. p

Frances Willard's Words.

If white-ribbon women did not speak
out for the only national party that
has declared against the liquor traffic,
we should be unworthy of this crisis
hour in our country's history If the
home people did not speak, well might
the very stones cry out. Brain poisons
at the republics Capitol; brain poi
sons sold under the starry dome and
in permitted violation of the laws that
Congress has promulgated! Could deg
radiation go further? But alas, the ex-
planation is that the brains Of the men
who make our laws are muddled with
the very liquors against which public
sentiment has obliged them to declare.
The priest and the prophet OF our ma
tion's temple are out of the way.

THE steamer Evandale, which left
for the Orient last week, has made the
remarkably low rate of two dollars a
ton for flour shipments, based upon a
Mexican silver valuation, says the West
Coast Trade. AS result her flour
cargo will be unparalleled. A solid
train load of fifty carloads from the
Centennial Mill Company at Spokane
will comprise portion OF the ship
ment This single consignment is
equal to 100000 pounds, or LOO
tons. which, together with local ship
ments, will bring up the exports to a
very large amount. Commenting on
the rate made, the Spokesman Review
of Spokane says: "The Northern Pa
ciic Steamship Company announces
that it will carry flour. from Tpcoma
to China for two dollars ton, Mexican
money. This is equivalent to about
one dollar per ton in gold, which Is
five cents per hundred, or only two and
one-half cents for fifty pound sack OF
flour. It's bringing the Occident and
the Orient pretty close together when
freight rates between America and
Asia are reduced to fifth the rates
charged between Spokane and tide
water" spokane Outburst-

SHELTON. FRIDAY sEPTEMBER 1886
Official School Books.

Upon the approach of school, par
ents are becoming interested in the
matter of school books which are to be
used this year. For the information
OF these. a list has been prepared in
the Office OF the state superintendent
OF public instruction, which is printed
below. These WILDE the official books
in Washington schools until Septem-
Der l, 1900. The adoption of this list
means a saving of all the way from
four to forty-five cents each on the
price formerly paid for corresponding
books.
1t will be noticed that two sets OF
figures follow each book. The first is
the retail price of the book, which will
be maintained in every corporate city
IN the state. The second figure is the
exchange price. By paying this a
mount and returning to the bookstore
the book which precedes the one re-
quired, the pupil will receive book OF
the next higher grade. For instance,
the price of Franklin's new Fourth
reader is ~ cents, but by returning
the Third reader and paying Is cents,
the exchange price on the Fourth read
er, he will receive the Fourth reader.
Following is the list of books, with the
retail and exchange price:

A Lost Art Discovered.

George Cromley, Cornelius Shay
and John Ryan, iron and steel work
ers at Pittsburg, are said to have dis
covered the lost art of welding copper
to iron or steel. The last record his
tory gives of these metals having been
welded was IN 500 B. G.. The value OF
the discovery comes in the fact that
copper offers a greater resistance to
the action of salt water than any
other metal. The Carnegie company
has offered the men a fixed price fol
the secret. A shop has been fitted up
at the Homestead plant where the
men proposed last week TO weld 8
plate of copper to an ingot of nicke
steel armor plate.-Ex.

Log Condition i'm the N. w.

There has been no advance in log
prices in the Pacific Northwest during
the month, contrary to expectations
1t is true that there isn't an oil @
on hand on Puget Sound, and new
logs are not very plentiful, but there
has been a slight dropping off in the
saving capacity of the mills, and mill
men have taken advantage of the lull
to lay In large stocks. During the
first part of the month the Port Blake
ly Mill Co. had 100000 feet on
hand, the Stimson Mill Co., 1000, 900,
the Puget Mill Co, 100000 and the
Tacoma mills between II 600, 900 and
I5,O00,O00. The forest fires, however,
caused a cessation of work in many
localities, and the loggers were forced
to tight the fire in the slashings in
order to save their camp equipment,
and in this way the input was consid-
erably curtailed. Serious losses of
camp equipment occurred in several
localities, notably in Mason county.
The approach of the rainy season will
still further curtail the input, and
there are not few who predict that
log prices will surely come up before
the year is over.
Fir prices on the Sound range from
$4.OO to $3.50, including in many in
stances towing, and cedar logs are
being sold at from $4.00 to $3.50 ac-
cording to quality.
An increased demand for logs is
noted on the Columbia and on Grays
Harbor. Prices for fir and spruce
range from $400 to $3.50 according
to quality.
In British Columbia the demand is
not very brisk at Puget Sound pric-
es.-Pacific Lumber Trade Journal.

WHEN you see a.man sitting around

WHEN you see a.man sitting around
waiting for some act of the legisla-
ture to increase the output from a
given number of hens, while he is en-
ploying his idle moments cursing
grinding monopolies, you may make
up yonr mind that he will never ac-
cumulate enough to do much grind
ing. The desirable citizen has not
time to sit around, but finds some re-
munerative employment, somewhere,
saves his money, and in a few years
has sufficient capital to engage in
business for himself. We are are in
favor of restraining monopolies,
though monopolies are not near the
curse OF this country that is the habit
of reckless extravaganza There is
not young man in the state of Wash
ington, from 10 to 81 years of age,
who cannot be worth a few thousand
dollars at 80, providing he has his
health. 1t is all right to better our
laws if we can, but away with the
teaching to our young men that money
is going to be legislated into their
pockets. AS long as the world stands
will these proverbs remain true: "The
hand OF the diligent shall bear rule
but the slothful shall be under tri-
butte" "He also that is slothful in
his work is brother to him that is a
great waster. ."-Cosmopolis Enter

this purpose admirably, if the result
is satisfactory it will open up new
use for this kind of timber.-Cathla-
