Let Us See.

The Seattle Press Times and the
Olympia Olympian have devoted con-
siderable space in answer to cores
pendent who propounds query.
He says he has given mortgage for
Tl,h00 payable in u. s gold coin of
standard weight and fnene.s, and he
asks whether if gold [bullion1 should
go to 90 per cent. premium, his debt
would not be increased so per cent.
Both these astute authorities declare
that he would not, holding that Z" a
contract for the payment of certain
amount in gold coin is either a con-
tract for the payment of money or for
the delivery Of specific articles. Ii it
is the former it will be satisfied by
payment of the legal tender OF the
country; i! it is the latter and is not
carried out, the creditor would be left
to his action for damages, and the
legal measure Of damages for failure to
deliver gold dollar would be IL gold
dollar and not dollar and half, no
matter what artificial premium spec
ulatlon might put upon gold dollars"
That is all very we'll but suppose
that the mortgaged property should
have to be sold to raise the $1,000,
would not its value be likely to de-
cline just in proportion as the basic
metal of redemption money appre-
ciates in value? In other words,
would not the purchasing power of a
gold dollar be materially affected by
such radical advance as the CORES.
pondent suggests? Observation GER
tainly leads to this conclusion, and
in order to obtain legal tender money
that has not been deprived OF that
legal power by specific contract, would
he not be compelled to sacrifice ST.
500 in property to pay 1000 gold
note?

CAR MATERIAL-Quite a demand is
springing up in the East for our fir
lumber for box-car siding and roofing.
A few weeks ago several carloads were
clipped from the Westside mill, OF
this city, and since that we observe
that frequent shipments have been
made from other parts of the Sound.
The P.-L notes the placing of an order
in Seattle for thirteen carloads of this
material. Only clear material, with
out pitch is used, and it is assorted be.
fore and after passing through the
planners. The roofing, which goes on
the cars double thick kess, consists of
pieces five feet long, dressed four sides,
and near either edge is half inch
groove to carry off the water. The
siding, which goes on perpendic-
ularly, is q kind of tongued and
grooved shiplap. 1t is six inches wide
with edges and center "V" grooved.
The work in each class is simple and
can be done by any planer, but the
material is the point considered. The
Stetson & Post Co. have contracted
for the delivery of about a million feet
of this lumber to the Kansas City Car
and Foundry Co., and that firm is in
constant receipt of orders from the
Haskell & Barker Car Co. of Chicago.

Does It Apply to Non Residentsp

A citizen of Mason county has pro-
pounded the following question to the
STANDARD:
"Can property road-tax be paid by
nonresident of a district in labor? ?"
Sec. II of chapter xxx of session
laws of 1893 provides that any person
shall be entitled to perform labor on
the public roads in the district in
which he resides or owns property TO
an amount "approximating" the
sum OF property road.tax for which
he is charged on the roll for the
ensuing year. The same section re.
quires, however, that he shall, on or
before the 18th day of March, notify
the road supervisor, in writing, of his
desire to pay such tax in labor, and
give that officer description of the
property on which he desires to apply
said labor. Its made the duty of the
supervisor TO report the matter to the
County Treasurer, who shall enter
against the name OF such applicant
the amount of property and road-tax
charged. This list when returned to
the supervisor entities the taxpayer
to liquidase his indebtedness in labor.
The act OF 1895 contains similar
provisions, with diffcren, dates for ser.
vice of notice and the acts which fol-
low. But as the levy was doubtless
made before that act went into force,
the law of 1898 will apply.
There seems, therefore. to be no
doubt but that property road tax may
be liquidated in labor by" any person"
whether he resides in the road district
OF his property or not, provided he
takes the steps prescribed to qualify
him for that privilege.

and il the ground continues wet they
will have to be dug soon or they will
sprout.
There is general rejoicing among
the farmers of the complete breaking
OF the long-continued drouth. The
ample precipitation, averaging about
10 OF an inch for the State. has wet
the soil to sufficient depth to make it
good ploughing, which has begun in
same advanced sections. In klickitat
county fall sowing of grain has begun
already.
The correspondents reports which
include the majority of the counties,
all agree in stating the beneficial ef-
feet of the rains, in clearing away the
heavy smoke, renewing the growth of
grass, and improving the vegetables.
In some localities the rain of the
1lth and 18th took the form of severe
thunder storms, with high winds, and
sometimes hail. The high winds of
the 11th blew off considerable fruit,
and at Griffith, Adams county, hail is
reported to have covered the ground
to the depth OF a fourth of an inch
after the storm. At Snohomi.h on
the evening of the 18th. during
heavy thunder storm, rain fell to the
amount of .33 of an inch in Ii min
utes, damaging the oats on the
marshes. Threshing was generally
delayed by the rains, and it is feared
some stacks are badly wet
Frost, varying from light 10 severe,
occurred during the early part of the
week. In the eastern counties, and
in the western part of the State on
the islands, vegetables were destroyed.
Fruit was not generally injured.
Potatoes have now mostly mstured,
and their digging has generally begun.
Hop picking is we'll under way. The
season has not been favorable to the
hop-crop, although some fields we'll
cared for, present a fine appearance.
In Cowlitz county good portion of
the crop is picked.
In Clarke county dry weather has
injured buckwheat so that it will not
be cut, the rains coming too late to
save it. Prune drying is there under
way.

On Friday last at Seattle during the
Methodist conference, the Rev. A. J..
Hanson of Puyallup, arose to present
his report. He said he had some good
news from that great hop country.
The hop crop, the main support of the
people, was a failure; the crop had
been cursed by God.
Bishop Bowman - The hops have
not grown2
DR.. Hanson-They have grown, but
have been cursed by the hop louise.
Bishop Bowman-Good.
And from all over the room voices
could be heard giving utterance to the
fevent ejaculation: Thank God"
In the next issue OF the Post Inteli-
gencer Ezra Meeker of Puyallup, goes
Tor the conference as follows:
For the edification OF the reverend
fathers and fervent brethren l wish
to publish to them and to the world
that have beat God, for have 500
acres OF hops at Puysllup and Kent
that are free from lice, the Course of
God" and that / believe it was the
work OF an emulsion OF whale oil soap
and quassia sprayed on the vines that
thwarted Gods purpose to course" me
and others who exterminated the lice.
Zone is almost ready to ask if this
indeed is the nineteenth century OF
enlightenment, to hear such utterance
gravely made by men supposed to be
expounders OF that great religion OF
love as promulgated by the Great
Teacher.
al want to recall to the memory Of
the Rev. Mr.. Hanson. that the church
in which he has been preaching for a
year past was built in grea. part by
money contributed from gains of this
business "cursed by God" For myself
l can inform him that as citizen of
Puyallup l contributed $500 to buy the
ground upon which that church edifice
lie built, every cent of which came from
this same hop business "cursed by
God" For myself l would "thank
God" il they would return the money
and thus ease their guilty consciences.

Olympia is to have brewery. which
will save many thousands of dollars

extensive buildings necessary for the
plant.
L. F. Schmidt, and his brother
Louis, of Butte, Montana. men OF
ample means and large experience in
the business, closed q deal Tuesday,
with Mrs. Fannie E. Biles, whereby
they obtained, by purchase, five and
q quarter acres of land near the lower
falls OF Tumwater, known as the Biles
tsnnery site, upon which the brewery
will be erected. Besides the power
right from the lower falls, the pur-
chase includes several streams of run.
ming water of the purest quality,
which will be used in making the pro-
duct. The price paid was 1850,
which would be but q small part of
the value of the land and privileges
conveyed, at any other time than the
present.
The Schmidt Bros. propose to in.
vest about 100000 in the business,
and by the superior quality OF their
product control their share of the de-
mand of this part of the State.
About the middle of next month one
I of the brothers proposes to move to
and reside upon the property and per-
sonally supervise the construction of
the brewery.
The land comprises the plateau be-
tween the Union Pacific grade and the
Sound, upon which the Tumwater ice
factory is situated. In connection
with the buildings wharf is contem-
plated whereby the product may be
loaded upon water craft for shipment
to depot that will be maintained in

TIMBER PAVING MATERIAL-The
block-paving problem gives promise of
final solution from the extensive
use now being made of that material
for pavement thoroughfares which are
subject to heavy traffic. Tacoma is
putting it down upon it's principal
business street, and an Eastern city is
about to pave q street ten miles long
and 81 feet wide with blocks furnished
from this State. This roadbed is
known as the Indianapolis pavement.
The blocks are three by eight inches
and eight inches in length, set on end
close together on a concrete bed and
covered with coating on top OF which
tar is the principal ingredient. While
the blocks used in the Fact are cut
from cedar, Tacoma is making Ute of
fir blocks, which it is thought will be
equally as durable, protected as they
are from the weather.
