A Busy Day In OLYMPIA.

Tuesday was very busy day in both
houses of the legislature, and the men,
bers entered with spirit into the work
of clearing the calendars. Fifteen
house bills passed the house, and five
senate bills and one house bill passed
the senate.
Among the bills killed in the senate
was Taylor's bill dividing the state into
congressional districts.
The house bill that passed the senate,
and which now goes to the governor for
approval, was by Mortified, to prevent
adulterating dairy products.
The most important measure passed in
the senate was Taylor's bill, fixing the
extreme life of any judgment at six
years, and preventing renewals.
The most important house measures
We're Wits bill, giving farmers ninety
days time on purchase of jute fabrics
at the state penitentiary; McAtee's
new game law; Lang's bill creating a
bureau of labor; J. o. Edwards bill,
making an eight-hour day on public
works and in public institutions; Ger
aghty's bill, requiring railways to
guard switches, ETC., and prevent in
jury to employees; Geraghty's bill,
making an eight-hoUr day for railroad
trainmen, and VOLTS bill, making a
personal injury judgment against rail-
way company prior to mortgage or
trust deed. These three last-named
bills are the first that have appeared
showing the temper of the house on
anti-railroad legislation.
The house Tuesday, by vote of 3S
to 36, defeated an attempt to reconsider
the vote of Monday, by which the sena-
torial investigation committee was dis
charged. The senate, to show it's feel
ing in the matter, ordered the senate
committee that is investigating the in
situations against Senator Taylor to
bring in its final report Wednesday
morning

The lower branch of the legislature
convened Monday morning at 10 O'Clock
and the senate at 2 o'clock in the after
noon.
The house passed several bills, none
OF which are very important. The
greater part Of the days session in the
house was devoted to routine matters.
The senate passed but one bill, the
house bill providing for the appoint
ment of county sheep commissioners,
and it now goes to the governor for his
approval.
The main feature of the day was the
postponeinent i'll the house of consid-
carlton of the bill abolishing fishtraps,
wheels, etc, and the passage of reso-
luton in the senate, providing for the
appointment of three hOldover sena-
tors as committee to investigate the
fishtrap question and report at the next
session of the legislature.
Senators Cole, Dorr and High were
appointed a committee to visit the
school for defective youth and to inves-
tigate the fish industry at the Cascades.
Senator Taylor inquired whether
there would be a committee appointed
to investigate the governors charges
against the penitentiary, saying if there
would not, Il visiting committee should
be appointed in order to get information
necessary for the appropriations desired.
President Daniels replied that COM
mittcc to investigate would be APP

Houghton's sugar bill, giving boun-
ty of cent a pound for sugar manufac-
tured during three years from sugar
beets, for which at least 81 ton may
be paid, was called up as a special Or
der. Houghton made speech for the
passage of the bill, giving an exhaust
i've statement of the industry in other
states, and said he had been assured
that if the bill passed that at least
three factories would be started in the
state at once. After full consideration
the bill was ordered engrOssed.

1t Is the fashion to speak of all who
have succeeded in writing their names
high on history's page as though they
never gave way to the temptation to be
respondent. Yet if the facts could only
be known it is the very men who have
within themselves the ability to finally
win the victory that are apt at times to
become most deeply involved in the
sloughs of despond. Washington himself
was subject to periods of the most in
tense depression, as witness this passage
from a letter to friend, written at Val
ley Forge:
'"The history of the war is a history of
false hopes and temporary expedents.
Would to God they were to end here"
In another letter he said, after a most
gloomy recital of the reasons he had for
being low spirited:
ITO me it will appear miraculous II our
affairs can maintain themselves much
longer in their present train
But Washington possessed the power
of recovering from these fits of the blues
and of putting forth every effort, after
they were over, as if they had never fall
en- to his lot, and therein lay the true Sc
cret of his final triumph and his imperish.
able glory.

CSEElY ON WASHINGTON.
rhc Man Washington will Remain at


She Apex of Amer c,n Manhood.
"rhese articles have failed in their OBJ
ject If they do not tend to inculcate in the
minds of American youth the Importance
OF will-power and right aspirations to the
complete development of the individual
writes Gen. a. w. Greedy, concluding. iii
the Ladies' Home journal, his series of
papers on ''rhc Personal Side of Wash
ington." "What are the salient changes
wrought by these forces in the evolution
of the man George Washington? For
money his indomiiable will sacrificed to
the exigcncies of harsh labor and uncon-
genial surroundings the pleasures of home
life. Later, his noble aspirations valued
gold only as means of serving his coun-
Try, of alternating suffering, and of eX-
tending charity. Rising in an aristocratic
community to the apex Of its social system
he then eagerly offered his assured stand
ing and acquired fortune in order to in
sure civic and religious liberty to all
grades of society. Brutality and cruelty
marked the contests of his earlier day;
in his mature years he was one of the
most humane warriors of any age The
breeding curse of slavery imposed upon
him traffic in human lives; later he rose
above the race prcjudces of his time and
by his individual action forestalled by
sixty years that inevitable goal of indi
vidual freedom, which futurity deferred
for America to another century. His IT.
religious surroundings and youthful hab-
its were such as have Slapped the better
character of thousands. Yet he came to
recognize that his own evolutionary pro-
cesses were no safe guides to humanity,
but that the only sure road is that pointed
out by religious faith and assimilated ac-
ton, through the by-paths of sobriety, in
dustry. charity and right living. The time
may come when experts can question the
superiority of Washington as a general,
or the entire wisdom of his policy as Pres
ident. But, fortunately for his fame,
there is only one standard by which the
whole world measures an individual, and
it is certain that so long as equity, hon
esty and charity are deemed the highest
attributes of human nature, so long will
the man George Washington remain at
the apex of American manhood"

To make wild animal take its own
portrait Ia the last achievement of the
scientific photographer, and one which
seems to open out endless possibilities
for the camera. The apparatus was, in
this case, arranged by Mr. Charles
Hughes of Red Bluff, California. Mr.
Hughes knew well enough that certain
deer were known to make their way at
night along particular trail and he
arranged a kind of trap, upon which
any animal passing that way was
bound to tread Close by camera
was set focused on the spot, and so
connected by eloc rical means with the
trap that directly the latter was pressed
the lens would be uncovered while
at the same time brilliant magnesium

which presented itself The object in
this case was a startled deer, who
gives evidence by his attitude that he
is not accustomed to this novel method

HOW TO KEEP EMBROIDERED LIN.

more desirable than ON silk and velvet, SO
popular few years ago, cannot be doubt

work is labor thrown away. But this il
an error, for II properly laundried, wash
silks may lie kept fresh and bright until
the articles they nGorn are past usefulness
The doing OF the embroidery is ITO daintieI
work than that of keeping it in good order,
and only by doing 1t herself can the tasty
woman have her fancy linenI kept bright

When ready to do the worb, select
bright day, fill smnl tub nenrly full of
warm water anil udd little Ivory soap to
make suds, put each piece in and wash
carefully. After each article is clean,
rinse in slightly blue water, to which a
little thin starch is added, wiring and hang
IN the shade. When dry, sprinkle, fold,
~nd let stand half an hour. Iron on the

throw out the stitches of the embroidery,
