Tacoma has a sled factory which
turns out 300 sleds per day to supply
the demand anticipated in the spring
for the Klondike trade. The STAND
ARD suggested last week that this
branch of industry would be an ex-
cellent enterprise for somebody in
this city to adopt, as we'll as the
manufacture of sleeping-bags, but it
has, so far, met with no response.
Fortune may knock persistently at
your door, but if you do not hear the
summons, you fail to take your place

Jos. Elswick Olympia Oyster Co..
s. X. Taylor and the Olympia Packing
Co., are making large daily shipments
of "bulk" oysters to Great Falls, Belt,
Butte and Helena, Montana. Bulk"
oysters are shelled oysters, shipped by
express, in refrigerator cans containing
four gallons each, surrounded with ice
and sealed. A favorite use of Olympia
oysters in Montana is for making Oys-

Col. Owings, President of the Board
OF Trade, favors a reorganization of
that body fixing the membership fee
and dues at 80 small an amount as to
make it popular institution, embrace
ing all auxiliary organizations like the
horticultural Society, and constituting
the County Commissioners and the City
Council honorary members. He seems
to think that in union there may be
strength, and by q strong pull together
much good may be accomplished.
The faot is indisputable that no point
on Puget Sound presents equal natur-
al advantages and resources for fievel-
opment of business enterprises, but our
community has been kept in the
background from inability to secure
united effort. If the movement gives
reasonable assurance of that result it
should meet with prompt response and
active support. A meeting will be
held in the court house, next Tues
day night. to formulate plans for
making this organization what it
should be, potent factor for local
prosperity.

A Vigorous Expression OF opinion.

vigorous expression OF opinion.
Ed. STANDARD; ....
] have just read the decision OF the
Supreme Court in the case of Tum-
water vs.. Pix. The decision simply
confirms what I have always con-
tended for, that there is no justice in
law. 1t is simply farce as rule.
/ don't believe there are a dozen men
in Thurston county who believe that
Mr.. Pix justly owes the corporation of
Tumwater 500. 1t looks very much
to me like "skin game" to get some
thing for nothing, game which al
ways arouses my spleen propensities.
In my humble opinion Judge Hodg-
don was right. Why didn't they
make it $500 while they were in the
bleeding business; the results would
have been just the same so far as the
decision was concerned and the cor
pOratiOn would have been $500 better
off or at least some individuals would.
While the Council was in the resolut-
ing business why didn't they create
an assessment district south to Ben
Johns place? It would have been
just as reasonable, Law is supposed
to be based ON justice, equal rights
to all and special privileges to none"
l am at a loss to see where it comes
in. 1t reminds me very much of the
decision in the exemption law, passed
by the Legislature. By the way, did
you ever think of the enormous ex-
pense attendant on our court expenses
and how few receive any benefit what
ever? The public have to foot the
bill and yet there are not one oAt of
one hundred that ever have any use
for courts and those who do generally
find it losing game.
Yours for justice,
J. G. Coz.

Mono But Ayers ut the Worlds Fair

There was only one blood purifier
admitted at the Worlds Fair, Chicago.
1t was Ayers Sarsaparilla. All others
were shut out because they did not
meet the requirements of the Fair Com
missioners. Ayers Sarsaparilla only
was accorded the honor Of an entry, be-
cause it did meet those require
ments. In Othes words, the Worlds
Fair authorities found Ayers Sarsapar-
lila to he an honest, scientific prepare
ton, the only one of its kind they could
endorse. That was good testimony that
Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best blood
purifier made. Furthermore, hundreds

say it is Take it, ailing friend, and you

Information was received in this
city Tuesday, of the sudden death OF
the pioneer and pathfinder, VIM. Pack
wood. He died at his daughters home
OH Nina prairie, at the age of "a years.
Mr.. Packwood crossed the plains in
1874, and settled in this county three
years afterward, rounding out COM
plete half century of continuous
residence in Thurston county, with
the exception of short residence in
California, during the gold excitement
of 40, and in Snohomish county q
couple of years later on, The de-
ceased has been prominent factor
in our local history. He took an
active part in the Indian war of 1856
6, serving as a Captain in the volunteer
service. Most of his time has been
devoted to prospecting, and probably
nobody knew the topography of the
mountain ranges better than he. One
of the principal passes of the Cascade
Range bears his name. His death
leaves another wide gap in the rapidly
thinning ranks of the early pioneers.
Mr.. Packwood was born in Indiana,
where he married in 1884 Esther
Brothers, lately deceased. His family
homestead for many years consisted
of 800 acres on Nisqually flats. In
the fall of 1871 Mr.. Packwood located
on the farm two and half miles from
Centralia, on the Skookumchuck,
where he lived eight years. He finally
located on q coal claim near Tenino,
to the development of which he de-
voted the later years of his life.
Mr.. Packwood enjoyed the esteem OF
all who knew him. The funeral rites
took place at the home of his daughter,
where he died on Nina prairie, Wednes-
day afternoon.
