the 'front.' or the basement are TWO
commodious play rooms, one for
the boys and one for the girls.
Passing up through a second stair
way the first hall is again reached,
where close to the front entrance IS
the main staircase leading to the
second floor. Here again is found
large hall communicating with all
the rooms. At the right is the room
occupied by the fourth grade, and
at the left the fifth grade. The
west half of the floor is occupied by
the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades, sitting together in one large
room capable of seating seventy-fve
pupils. At the south end are two
recitation rooms. Attic south end
of the hall is a second flight of
stairs leading to the ball below,
and winding stairs leading to the
third story, which is occupied by
an excellent auditorium capable Of
seating about four hundred. At
present there are chairs for three
hundred At the north end is
we'll constructed stage, from which
doors open into the dressing rooms
at the rear. The huge tower is one
of the most beautiful features of the
building. The lower part is occu-
pied by the principals office; the
second floor by two rooms designed
for library and reading rooms, and
beneath the turretS and pointed
gables of the cupalo a huge bell
rings out merrily the time for school
while from the flag staff above cold
Glory" proudly waves above the
shapely pile beneath.
The interior finishing of the build
ing is in keeping with the outward
appearance. The wood work is Of
Norway pine, oak and redwood, all
in natural colors. The newell posts
being of carved oak and the panel
ing of redwood. In each room is a
hall we'll supplied with hooks for
the children's outer garments and
a closet at the end of each hall for
the teachers use. The rooms are
we'll supplied with black boards, and
single seats are used. Back of the
teachers desk is an electric bell
communicating with the principals
room, where an electric bell register
enables him to communicate with
all parts of the building. The ven
tilation and plumbing are excellent
and a water faucet and a marble
basin in each hall supplies the
necessaries to quench thirst and
promote cleanliness. The rooms
are well supplied with charts, maps
and other needed apparatus. The
building is glowing tribute to the
skill of the architect, H. Preusse.
The school work is carried
through the ninth school year. The
first two years, including the first
and second primary being called
the first grade, and the others num-
bered in order. The teachers strive
tn make the discipline that of self
control. Believing that a teachers
true object should be not so much
of governing, but of instructing,
they strive to inculcate the lessons
of self dependence on part of pupil,
knowing that if they are to battle
most successfully with the world
they must learn that self trust is
the essence of heroism."
The first primary is in charge Of

tai processes in arithmetic are
taught, using objects, abstract num-
bers and stories. Form and color,
together with simple drawings, oc-
cupy part of the time. A short per
iod is spent in kindergarten work.
In language children and teacher
talk about familiar objects. and the
children write short stories and SEN
fences. Enrolment 45.
The second primary is taught by
Miss Nellie Kruegel. Ten minutes
at the opening is devoted to sing
ing. Reading occupies the first
part of each session, followed by
physical culture and number work.
Language has a prominent place on
the programme. Writing, drawing
and the primary facts of hygiene
are taught Miss Kruegel has 80
enrolled
Miss Neva Ralph has the second
grade. There are two divisions.
Reading comes first on the pro-
gramme, and in language work the
children have sentence making, pic
ture stories, and stories written
from memory. The work in num-
bers is a thorough drill in the fun
damental steps, with practical prob
lens for daily work. Writing and
elementary drawing are taught and
the last period Of the afternoon SEES
sion is given to story reading, ma
ture studies, etc. Miss Ralph has
80 names on the roll.
Miss Marguerite Winniford has
charge of the third grade The
morning begins with song, after
which the two divisions recite arith
metic. Then comes spelling and
physical culture, and last reading
The afternoon is taken up with Ian
guage work, writing, drawing, phys
ical culture, geography, etc. The
last fifteen minutes are given to
singing, select reading, etc. Miss
Winniford has SO enrolled.
The fourth grade is in charge of
Mrs. Annie Clyde. The morning
session opens with a song. Arith-
metic is taught with special refer
ence to practical applications. Read
ing, spelling, geography, hygiene,
writing, elementary drawing, etc,
are made subjects of careful study.
Readings in history, and nature
studies close the afternoon session.
Enrolment AZ.
Mr., Fred. D. Cloud instructs the
fifth grade. Arithmetic, reading,
geography, language, hygiene and
physiology, spelling, writing, draw
ing and physical culture are taught.
In addition short lectures are given
in the natural sciences, such as 70
ology, botany, physics, chemistry,
etc. This work occupies the clos
ing exercises. The idea is to create
in the pupils mind a desire to con-
tinue this work through the higher
grades, and what is of greater i'm
portance to cultivate the faculties
of observation and perception. The
pupils intense interest in such
work is evidence of it's value as
mind discipline. The programme
in this department recognizes the
fact that pupils mind is more
vigorous at certain hours Of the day
than others. For example, arith-
metic, demanding as it does the ex-
ercise of the reasoning powers so

Protection.

The protective tariff system in
America is older than the United
States government, Before the con-
stitution was adopted, individual
states tried to secure protection for
home industries. Voluntary associa-
tions were entered into for same pur-
pose, and public meetings were held
in order to guide public sen :iment.
At such meeting in Boston, the
merchants passed resolution calling
upon the people not to buy or nse
British goods imported in British ships
The merchants of Boston were even
more clear sighted and went farther.
They insisted in thei r resolutions that
such goods ought not to be bought or
consumed at all. This was the spirit
of the people before the adoption of
the CONSTITUTE On; this was the spirit
of the people at the time of the adopt
ion of the constitution. This was the
spirit of the first congress of the
United States, which made its first
bill bill for the protection of Ameri-
can industries. 1t was pretty good
spirit, too, and it is JUS as good now
as it was then.-Abe,rdeen Bullitin.

A Huge Josh!

The Times, the Seattle pop paper,
gives Farmer Todd the following send
off for some job, which we publish as
matter of news to our readers:
FARMER TODD.
One of the exceedingly unpleasant
incidents which grew out of the late
campaign was the deprivation of the
services of Farmer Todd to the people
of Washington.
It will be remembered by those who
attended the Ellensburg convention
last August that Farmer Todd's name
was freely used as a candidate for gov
ernor. This was in violation of that
gentleman's well-known wishes, as he
has never been an office-seeker-but
always reformer, and man who has
tried to the best of his ability to do his
fellowmen some good.
AS result, of course Gov. Rogers was
nominated, whickreceived the hearty
approval of Farmer Todd.
When it came to the senatorial NOM
ination in Farmer Todd's district, he
was rendered the unanimous nomina-
ton for the Senate-but felt compelled
to refuse on the simple ground that to
accept it would be to place himself in
the category of an office-seeker-a po-
sition which Farmer Todd had never
occupied, and therefore, to be consis-
tent, he was compelled to refuse the
nomination, although, as matter of
taste and opportunity he would have
been delighted to have received it, had
his name not been mentioned for the
| higher Office of governor against his
protest and desire.
When it is remembered that Farmer
Todd is one of the largest landowners
in the sta te: has an Independent for
tune, his position will be appreciated
and the fact of his inability to serve
the state in capacity in which he
could have done much good will be
regretted.-Seattle Times.
"Our John" will smile expansively
through his chestnut whiskers at the
idea of Farmer Todd's having cinch
on the senatorship.
The Times is surely OVERRIDING the
thing, it will be death to Farmer
Todd's hopes if the pops get onto his
being plutocrat and "bloated" land
holder. However, the above article is
remarkable for its veracity. The Far.
mer was after anything in sight polit-
ically. Should he fail entirely to Sc
cure office We suggest that he return
to his former vocation, preaching, OF

Prosperity Kills Trusts.

The prediction of Dun's Review OF
Trade that the dissolution of twoof the
associations of trusts for the mainte-
nance of the prices of iron and steel
would be followed dyss the dissolution
of the other two has been partially YER
flied. The Bessemer Steel Association,
generally known as the steel trust, has
gone IS. pieces.
Nothing is so fatal to trusts as seas
on of prosperity. In dull times it is
easy for two or three firms that have a.
bundant capital to combine for the
purpose of limitation of production
and. conservation of prices. Blu t when
the markets are brisk new firms are
tempted to assail the combination, or
members of the combination are temp
led tolbfeak loose from its restrictions.
The instinct of personal selfishness be-
comes subordinate to the public good.
We have not yet attained to a con-
dition of general prosperity, nor are
we likely to do so for some time to
come but the sure prospect of prosper
ity is melting manufacturer to strive
for possession of the markets. No
iron-clad rules can restrain the instinct
of competition. The steel trust is dis
membered. The window glass trust
will be dismembered. For when prices
are unduly high and the tone of the
market brisk it is impossible to prevent
ambitious manufacturers from endeav-
oring to obtain control of it for them
selves.-Inter Ocean.
The steel wire nail trust has been
swamped under the advancing wave
of prosperity, and the price OF nails is
due to drop from the 5-cent perch
shortly.

What's in a Name

Pacific coast spruce is being sold in
the east under the name of white pine,
an eloquent testimonial to the best
wood that grows. Spruce, grown on
Puget Sound or Garys Harbor, is
manufactured into "white pine"
panels at Kansas City, Oshkosh, Min
ncapolis and other large sash and door
centers. Last year there were many
thousand feet of spruce shop common
and siding sold in the middle west
under the name of white pine, if this
continues the spruce mills in the
Pacific northwest may yet ship white
pine piece stuff into the eastern states
At the same time clear wide boards
are mostly in demand and spruce IS

The Seattle Post-Intelligeucer will
issue on January 3, 1897, New Year e.
dition which promises to surpass any
previous effort in newspaper work in
the stale of Washington. The edition
will consist of 40 pages or more and
will contain an exhaustive review of
the states resources, taking up in de-
tail the several different industries.
lumber, mining, fishing, agriculture,
etc. Issued at Seattle, it will natural
ly devote considerable space to that
city and its environs, and being the re-
cognlzed state newspaper, every county
is to be represented. Writers of known
ability have been carefully selected and
matter pertaining to each county will
be handled from local standpoint
which will do away with the usual
boom matter sent out on "space"
basis. The, edition will be valuable
one to send to friends and relatives in
the East, also to intending settlers.
the illustrated feature of the paper will
no doubt surprise Eastern people as to
the class of buildings in this "wild and
woolly West" The JOURNAL heartily
recommends the citizens of this coun-
ty to send a large number of copies to
the Eastern states, as in no better way
can the states mineral wealth and
vast resources be better disseminated
than through the state of Washing
toms foremost daily. The price will
be 10 cents per copy and if names are
sent direct to the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer copies will be mailed postage
free to any part of the world.

The state reform school at Chehalis
has proven a record breaker among the
state institutions. The trustees re-
port a surplus of $4,000 to turn back
to the state treasury. The boys and
girls conduct themselves we'll, and are
taught to be self-supporting. There
are now lO4 boys and 80 girls in the
school, and during the past year l21
boys and 33 girls were released on pa
role. Mason County has one boy in
the school, young Homer Mccartney.
If Governor Rogers succeeds in
having the legislature "abolish quite a
number OF the fat jobs" and thus
reducing the running expenses of the
state, he will have the approval of all
good citizens regardless of party. The
failure of former legislatures to do this
helped to the republican party in this
state.-Vancouver Herald.
1HE OInclal vote OF the state has
been published and is as follows for
President and Governor: Total for
President 93,412, of which Bryan re-
ceived 51,647; Mckinley, 39,4S1;
Palmer, l446; lowering, 1856; For
Governor, Rogers received 5O.949.
Sullivan, 3S,l49 and Dunlap, 194S
The populist plurality for President
was l2.6l3; and for Governor, I2,SO2;
Compared with the vote of 1892 Nc
Kinley received 1925; more votes than
did Harrison. In that year the oppo-
sltlon vote was divided between Cleve-
land and Weaver; This year it was
combined for Bryan and shows only q
gain OF 1890 over the combined vote
OF 1892. While the republicans were
defeated, the party gains are thus
shown to be more than the combined
gain OF the opposition, which was aug
mented by many, so-called asilver
republicans" by 895 yotes.-Herald.

Four states have now each voting
population of one million people. At
the last election New York cast 1884,
339 votes; Pennsylvania, 1,149 1853; ;
Illinois, 1,0S9,S25; Ohio, 1,O15,O25.
This stateme }, t would seem to make it
clear, says the Tacoma Ledger, that the
plan OF electing president by popu-
lar vote would not work we'll, because
it would be possible for the four states,
by uniting their strength, to elect any
president. They have about one-third
of the votes of the Union, and with the
president elected by popular vote, they
might dominate all the other fortv-one
states.
WE complete the table of electoral
and popular vote this week, as far as
possible, the figures from about Is
states being official. according to
these figures McKinley's electoral vote
is 272, and popular majority, 765,474
votes. McK1nley's popular majority
outside of the "solid South" is ,322,-
1896, or twice the major ity that any
president ever received in that ter
ritory.
