Minister Gray arrived home yesterday
from Washington, and said that he would
leave for his post at the City of Mexico
next Monday. The condition of his son
Pierre is such as will permit him to return.
He says that he has received no instruc-
tons from the State department in any
way relative to the threatened war between
Mexico and Guatemala, for the reason that
the United States has offered to arbitrate
the matter, and again for the reason that
Guatemala is not foe worthy of Mexico.
Mexico, he says, has large standing army,
well equipped and well trained, while
Guatemala has a small. unframed army.

The, Post-Intelligencer was given a
rather severe lesson in the recent bond
election at Seattle, in which its oppo-
nents carried the day with big MAORI
ties. This is a fair indication that the
iP.-1. IS not so much in the favor of the
people of its own city, and it is quite
likely that the same conditions exist
elsewhere-a big portion of the repub-
llcan party of the state will not be
taking its political instruction from
that source, and the people it sup
ports next year will probably have a
hard row to hoe.

"DOn't Squeal, But Root.

The best text for q business Sc rmon
that has been presented in many
day in sentence in the advertising
matter ofa Minneapolis firm, which
reads: eff business is not good, don't
squeal, but root" 1t is illustrated by
porker who has quit squealing and
gone to roofing, with apparently good
success. 1t is not a fowery senti-
mental or elegant text, but, what is
more to the point, it is practical and
suggestive. ''~''.''''' +'''@t ~. =''''
The disposition to squeal instead of
root has never been so marked as dur
ing the past eighteen months of tinan-
cial depression. Many men bave ex-
pended SO much force squealing that
they had none left for roofing. They
have spent their days in grumbling
about hard times instead of making
an effort to improve them. They
have passed the hours in Lamentations
and let their business dwlndle, while
their more sensible competitors rooted.
There are many business men who
have not only held their own during
the hard times, but have really pros
pered. But they didn't squeal; they
rooted. In good times or hard times,
those who succeed never squeal. Their
time is so fully occupied in roofing
that they can spare none Of it for
squealing. It doesn't matter what
business one may be engaged in lie
will always find loss in squealing
and profit in roofing. In the long
list of failures annually recorded in
this county are found the squealers !;
the roOters haven time to fail. sr
If business is not good, don't squeal,
but root; and if business is good. there
is still less reason for sduealing and
still more cause for roofing ROGERS

In Ten Years l.l: s.,

THE JOURNAL, with this issue, begins
its tenth. volume, and looks back on /
the nine years of existence with some
satisfaction, although the. experiences,
may not always have been the most
agreeable. Shelton, when the JOUR
NAL was first established, was hamlet
of few houses, and boosted of two,
miles of logging railroad, while the
county numbered fewer permanent
population than the city alone con-
tains at present For the first month
the type forms of this paper were TAX
en- to Olympia for printing, and twice
was the scanty edition packed over
land on the hurrican deck of cayuse,
and through two feet OF snow and ice,
while the forms were left to come by
freight when next the. old steamer
Willie concluded to make the trip.
That first winter was a hard one,
especially so in the experience of the
new paper, and the first three years
of its existence typical of the hardships
of "'frontier journalism" Mason Coun-
ty was considered out of the line of
travel, its mail and transportation
facilities very bad, and it was then
without a newspaper to hold out its
promises. The scattered population
gave the struggling paper loyal sup
port, and it was soon established on
the crock. ......., ,.........
Shelton and Mason County, have
changed very much in these ten years,
and the JOURNAL has endeavored to
keep in the, van. Only those who
have been through the mill can APP
preciate the hardships of opening up
a home. a farm or establishing news
paper in a practically "new" county
as was Mason County at that time,
and the cold timers" who came here
twenty years ago, while they probably
feel the rigor of these present demo-
cratic times, must admit they fare
better now than then. ...,, 81. $685.. ...
T. We are thankful for being permit
ted to keep the JOURNAL under its
present management during these
years, and for the generous recogni-
ton the people ofthe county have al
ways given. We wish them all
Merry Christmas and Happy and
more prosperous New Year. -t,
