Suffrage.

In regard to the bonding of our
county in order to fund our warrant
Indebtedness we will say that the
question has more than one side to
it. A superficial glance at the
proposition convinces one that 1t
would be a saving to our county,
in the way of interest, and that it
is merely business proposition, in
which our taxpayers would be the
gamers by bonding. But let us
look around us and see what other
counties in the state have done and
profit by their hard learned exper-
fence. Take Whatcom county for
example; what have the taxpayers
there gained by bonding? They
bonded for an immense sum to fund
outstanding warrants and build a
court house, and make other i'm
provements. 1t was short time
after the bonds were issued and all
warrants paid, until there were just
as many more warrants issued, and
today Whatcom county, besides her
bonds, has warrants outstanding in
excess of the lawful limit, and her
property owners are paying interest
at the rate of S4O0, or thereabouts,
per day.
This is not only the experience
of Whatcom county but is the ex-
perience of a majority of the coun-
ties in this and other states.
Necessity is the mother of in
vention" and if we can get through
the present difficulty without bond
ing will we not be better off than
we would be if we shouldered
bond issue which in all human
probability we would never be able
to pay.
Friends, we merely give you our
ideas on this subject. You may
either coincide with us or you may
not. Perhaps the writer is preju-
diced against bonds, but we are al
most convinced that it's holy pre-
JUDGE. In conclusion we will say
that San Juan county is young and
but little in debt-let us profit by
the experience of OtEer counties,
and govern our county affairs &C
cordingly. The county cannot be
bonded without a popular vote of
our citizens and there will have to
be a change in public sentiment be-
fore bonding issue would carry.

He hopes to be that man.
Mr.. McMillin is one of the solid
men of the state, an aggressive
thinker and forcible speaker. He
has always been in politics since he
has lived in this state and has a
wide circle of acquaintance all
over the west. He is said to be
backed by the San Juan, Skagit and
part of the Whatcom delegation.
and his hackers say they will stand
by him as long as there is possible
chance for his election. Mr. McMil-

Washington, Jan. 4. -Represen-
tative Sperry, Of Connecticut, a col
league of Mr.. Springer on the bank
ing and currency committee, has
proposed another substitute to the
Carlisle currency bill. It strikes
out all after the enacting clause
and provides for an issue of bonds
sufficient to retire all outstanding
greenbacks and treasury notes I'M
der the Sherman act. The bonds
are to bear 3 per cent. interest, and
are to be redeemed in gold, and are
to be of denominations from SO to
to $1,000. They are to run for 80
years with the right to redeem
them after ten years. The secre-
tary Of the treasury is empowered
to keep the gold reserve up to a
minimum ofs1OO,OOo,OOO by selling
these bonds.
Provision is made for the steady
retirement of the greenbacks, both
from the proceeds of the bonds and
from the surplus in the treasury.
Mr.. Sperry's substitute, it is under
stood, has executive approval in
case the Carlisle bill cannot pass.

The Columbia Desk Calendar.

For ten years the desk calendar issued
by the Pope Manufacturing Company
has held a unique place among business
helpers. Each daily leaf during that
time has taught its quiet lesson of the
value of better roads and outdoor ex-
ercise, and especially the benefits OF
bicycling. The calendar for 1885, which
is just issued, is even brighter than its
predecessors in appearance, as clever
artists have added dainty silhouette
and sketch to the usual wise and witty
contributions that have heretofore
given this popular calendar its charm.

For the rest, this royal cloak, which
is worked in great gilt and silver rings,
is so tenderly hued. that it is difficult
to tell where pink and brown begin and

Notes Worth Cutting and FASTING
For Future Reference.

The one, two, three pie crust is an
infallible rule, and an excellent one
withal for just one pie, and consists
of one cup of chilled and sifted flour,
two tablespoonfuls of cold lard,
chopped through the flour, and three
tablespoonfuls of ice water. Mix
quickly. roll deftly, and success is
yours.
If you wish to prevent fruit juice
from boiling out of your pie, take
narrow strip of white cloth, pinch it
around the edges of the crust the last
thing before it goes into the oven.
A teaspoonful of baking powder in
mashed potatoes is a wonderful aid in
making them fluffy and light.
A pair of stocking legs drawn UP On
the lower portion of your sleeves, and
a, big bib apron, as long as your gown,
makes it possible to go into the
kitchen with a pretty gown on and
emerge therefrom spotless and dainty
as before.
Have book in the kitchen to
snatch a. morsel of brain food from,
while you wait for the kettle to boil
or the family to come to the table, or
anything else that implies a wait.
"AmieTs Journal Intire," Emerson's
or Bacon's essays, may all be recon-

sentences are weighted with thought

Be sure your kitchen is bright and

work, or assists in it, should insist
that this room that she is obliged to
remain in so much of her time is

paint, or better yet, the natural wood
finished in oil, is no more receptive of
dirt than dark tints, and the lighter
tints tend to lessen the melancholy
that sometimes attaches itself to this
place.

The skirt of this gown, as we'll as
those of the other two worn later, also
hangs full and long about the feet;
from the knee down is richly spangled,
with long upturned points of brown
ish lace set in as a border.
a lace veil of the same misty brown
hangs at the back, from the wreath on
the head to the bottom of the skirt,
which is about even all round.
A Purple Robe of Sorrow.
In the third act in the turret above
the river, Guinevere wears the first
and only sombre gown of the play.
In color it has all the rich shadings
of purple pansy, a pansy over which
had flown a gray-black dust and
through this sudden violet lights. The
model was the same short-waisted slip
of all but the Jersey gown Of the first
act.
AS to textures, changeable silk,
crimped gauze and a rich plush stamp
ed to initiate an animal skin, were en-
ployed; an entire slip Of the gauZe over

shoulders back and front in a long

There were some cleaning red bits
of embroidery at shoulder and wrists

In the last prison scene Miss Terry
wears a costume of white silk, richly
worked in dim gold, and with floating
angel sleeves: a marvel of picture ele-
gance and charm, but not exactly the
thing for a repentant Guinevere.
With it was worn the long. misty
brown veil of the woodland scene, and

A Witch's Costume.
From Queen Guinevere to the trap

the illustration demands its bridging.
This dainty little costume is especially
suited to a slender figure and dark type
and is of flame-colored tulle and black
velvet.
