Olympia Land Office.

The Tacoma Ledger Saturday says
that F. G. Deckebach, register of the
Olympia land office is in the City Of
Destiny, and the Ledger induced him
to talk. The land office, he says, is
doing an average maximum business,
1t is recognized that a strong effort
must be made to secure modification
of President Cleveland's order relative
to the vast forest reserve which affects
many of the most desirable farming
lands in Western Washington. 1t
takes in nearly ali the unsurveyed
lands in the foothills of the Cascades,
including such fine valleys as the
Nisqually and others, where farmers
have been working and. waiting for
five, six or seven years for the govern
ment survey.
In the Olympia land district there
were some six or eight townships on
which surveys had been ordered but
the Cleveland order suspended the
work.
All the lands in the Olympic PENN
sula are within the reserve too; in
fact it practically withdraws the most
attractive lands open to settlement in
the state.-Olympian.

There is more Catarrh il this section of the
country than all other diseases put together and
until the last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be constitution
al disease, and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for

AS result of wordy interview by
Mr.. and Mrs. John Dickinson with one
OF the teachers in the public school,
over the alleged abuse Of their young
son, they were arrested for disturbing
the peace and brought before Justice
Covill last Saturday, but the case was
postponed until tomorrow. AS far as
we can learn the disturbance was en-
tirely unwarranted. There is no JUS
LITIGATION for any patron to appear be-
fore the school and make any unseem-
ly exhibition. the directors are the
proper parties to refer the treatment
of the scholars, and this fact ought to
be known to all. We have never yet
observed an instan &c where a child
has been badly abused in the Shelton
schools by a teacher, but, on the other
hand are inclined to think that if the
discipline were a little stronger, the
school would be all the better for it.
Regardless of the merits of the Dick
inson side oft he case, they nor any
other patron of the school have any
right to discuss matters before the
scholars, unless it can be done quietly,
The Shelton schools cost the taxpay-
ers of this district about 1000 a year,
and nothing should be allowed to i'm
pair their efficiency and unless good
order is enforced. the children will be
deprived of much of the benefits they
should have from this tax money.
