Dry Them Up.

There are some newspapers in this
state that take pride in ihisrepresent-
ing the trade and commerce OF their
locality, the ability of its industries
and the prospects of future progress
in the worst possible light. They are
fannel-mouthed calamity howlers to
whom honest labor might look with
starving eyes and uncertain future
until doOmsday, and yet these foul
birds ask these industries and traders
to keep them alive by their advertis-
ing patronage that they may go on
cursing and bellttling the community
and state in which they have so I'M
kindly thrust their unwelcome and
beneful presence. It is time to give
some of them lesson that will make
them shut up their calamity talk and
either assist in trying to increase con-
fidence, business and good fellowship
or get out for lack of support which
has too long returned nought but a
commercial curse.-Trade Register.

ONE OF the critics of pensions asks
"Why is it that pensions are greater
now than they were ten or twelve
years after the WARP" Well the ans
wer is plain. Hundreds of thousands
of old veterans hobbled around on
crutches or wrestled with the bodily
ailments or injuries received from the
war as long as they could, and even
boosted that they would never ask for
pensions, but with old age, increasing
infirmities, and savings all gone and
the poorhouse in sight many thousands
locked in and made their claims, and
the government did as it promised it
would wien they left all to follow and
defend tine flag. That is about all
there is to that. It is to the veterans
credit that he took care of himself for
ga dozel years after the war"

Many inquiries have been made as to
how the Washington City, or govern
ment, whitewash is mixed. The in
structions are to take half bushel OF
unslaked lime, slake it with boiling
water, covering during the process to
keep in the steam, and add to it a
peck of salt previously dissolved in
warm water, 3 pounds of ground rice
boiled to thin paste, and stirred in
while hot. With these materials are
incorporated half pound of Spanish
whiting, and 1 pound of clean glue,
previously dissolved by soaking in cold
water and then hanging over slow
fire in small pot hungi in larger one
filled with water. To the whole add
five gallons of hot water and let it
stand a few days, covered from dust
and dirt. 1t should be applied hot,
for which purpose it can be kept in a
kettle or portable furnace. A pint OF
this wash mixtures, properly applied
will cover square yard. It will be
almost as serviceable as paint for wood
brick or stone, and is much cheaper
than the cheapest paint. If a cream
color is wanted, yellow ochre is added
if pearl or lead, lampblack or ivory
black. For fawn add four pounds of
lumber to l pound of Indian red and l
pound Of common lamp-black; while
4 pounds of raw lumber to 2 pounds of
lamp-black will give a common stone
color. This mixture is used by the
government to whitewash lighthouse
and it now covers the east end of the
presidents house at Washington City.

The annual report of P. w. Law
renee, chief of the board of state grain
inspectors, has been filed with the gov
ernor. 1t shows inspection on arrival
OF $3.50 cars of wheat during the
peri cd between September 18th, 1895,
the date of establishment of the COM
mission, and August LIST, 1896, amount
ing approximately to $685. 900 bushels /;
of oats, 1,l7S carloads, or about $780,
200 bushels, and of barley, 369 cars, or
about 245, 900 bushels. The amount
received by the commission was 49,
lOO11, while with an appropriation of
$4,000 the gross receipts were $40, 1OO.-
IL. Disbursements were $9,3OO.6S,
leaving a balance in the grain inspec-
ton fund ON September LIST of $799. 43.
The report states that through the
workings of the law outside exporters
and foreign buyers have been assured
OF fair treatment in the matter of
weights, grades, etc, and have made
purchases of cargoes at Tacoma and
Seattle, based upon state inspection,
and thatits influence has been to guar
antee highest market values to pro-
ducers and dealers thus celebrating
very largely the pre-conceived preju-
dlces against it and inuring co-opera-
ton in forwarding the efficiency and
usefulness of the work.
