Dorothy Morton, the prima donna

rising star OF no small magnitude, and
We are glad to say is an American girl.
She is in a fair way to demonstrate
that Sweden does not produce all the
song birds, nor La Belle France fur
nish the only appreciative audiences.
Born in st. Louis, her marvellous
voice first attracted attention as it
filled st. Xavier church with the grand
melody of Ave Maria. Others besides
friends were filled with admiration of
the glorious notes which rang from
the organ loft and reverberated among
the arches OF the grand cathedral,
among whom was none other than
the director of one OF the greatest
operate organizations in the country.
He sought out the new singer, and the
result was new face appeared in the
back line of the chorus. But her
bright beauty and bell-like voice soon
brought her to the front, when to
quote from that fad of modern litera-
ture what was said of Trilby as appli.
cable to the rising star: Every
single phrase was string Of perfect
gems. of purest ray serene, strung to-
gether on loose golden thread" 1t
seems to have been more than chance
that the mantle of a genius like that
of Marie Tempest should have fallen
upon such worthy shoulders. Our

REDUCTION OF INTEREsT.-A move
ment of considerable importance to
the debtor class is that inaugurated
by leading banks of San Francisco, in
the reduction of rates of interest
charged on mortgage loans. For three
years past, and in fact during the en-
tire period of financial depression, says
the Examiner, the rate of interest on
mortgages has been 7 per cent. On
and after May LIST the rate will be 6I
per cent. This is to apply to matured
loans, that is to say to those over one
year old, as we'll as to new loans made
on and after that date. The reason
for the reduction ia the plentitude oil
money which the bank is able to lend
and the improved condition of the
money market. Nearly three years ago
when money showed signs of tighten
ing, the rate of interest on new loans
was raised from 6 to per cent. AT
that time the bank announced that
the rate would be raised on matured
and new loans, but in the case OF
small matured loans the rate was con-
tinued at the old figure, so that the
increase really affected the rich only.

| WESTERN SECTION.
Last week was one OF glorious wealth
er, with sunshine almost every day,
and, in the words OF one correspon-
dent, at made the farmers smile"
The statement in the last bulletin
that "with several days of sunny
weather like the present all crops will
grow rapidly, and the farmers become
more hopeful" proved to be o true
prophecy. Not previously this season,
and seldom in any season, has there
been week when all vegetation has
made such splendid progress. No rain
fell during the entire week, but there
was no need of it. The dry weather
gave opportunity to plant the bottom
lands much earlier than has been done
heretofore. The cool nights, with
quite sharp frost on the Goth,
threatened fruits, but it is believed
that they were not damaged, except in
very few localities and are now proba-
bly, safe. In a few places early pota-
toes were slightly nipped. The condi-
ton OF all kinds of crops could hardly
be more promising than it is now.
Glover, timothy, wheat, potatoes, gar
den vegetables, and fruits OF all kinds,
are reported to be doing finely. Oats
are especially thrifty. Pastures are in
splendid condition, and the stock is
healthy. Hops are all the way from
II to 80 inches high, and some are
being trained. Strawberry plants are
far in advance of last week. Timothy
and red clover have grown very fast.
The planting of potatoes and garden
seeds WAS rushed last week, and is
now we'll along. In Whatcom county
corn is reported as beginning to sprout.
The tent caterpillar has begun its de-
vastation. In Skagit county the oats
on marsh land are much better than
ever before at this time of year. The
good result OF understanding is al
ready apparent. In King county the
green aphis has appeared on young
apple trees in one locality. Bees are
swarming some, although it is very
early for them. Taking all things
into consideration, it is hard to i'm
aglne how week could have been
more favorable than last week was.

The weather OF last week was warm

entirely favorable and the best week
OF the season had showers occurred re.
Gently. AS it was, the ground was too
dry. Showers on the 9th and 18th
relieved the situation somewhat, but
they were too light to be of lasting
good. Nothing has been materially
injured as yet. and the majority of re-
ports are favorable. The nights have
been cool, and frosts occurred on the

Commenting upon this, under the
caption of GA Public Disgrace" the
Boston paper said editorially:

Now poLa tucse paragraphs were
copied widely by the papers of the
State. still the Olympian has the as
surance to state in late issue that
the story was not only untrue but
originated with the STANDARD. 1t
says:
If the editor of the STANDARD would
take the pains to inform himself before
he permits his partisan preiudices to
lead him into such series of blunders
as he has made in this matter, he would
do less ffoundering to get out. in the
incident in controversy the character of
the President was not scurrilously at
tackled by Senator Wilson, nor was the
chief of the white house referred to az all.
A loudmouthed southern representative
who was present attacked the character
of some OF Mr.. Wilson's friends in the
Senate, and spirited and the loyal young
Senator from Washington went after the
gentleman from the south in a manner
that put an effectual quietus upon him
for that session at least, and he did it in
an entirely decent manner and without
the use of any vile or course language
such as the STANDARD, and the STANDARD
alone, insinuates he used"
Tne::Olympian claims that it has a
history of the "whole affair in writing"
and therefore KNOWS" what it is talk
ing about, and that is something the
STANDARD, it afiirms, i" has not known
whenever it has opened it's mouth on
the subject; it is simply vindictive and
ignorant" How much better is its
history of the whole affair in writing"
than the printed statements of the
eminent papers which first gave the
story to the public? How much bet.
