They anticipated good fall trade
and prepared for it according to
their several temperaments; some
generously and others with a native
caution that the ticklish times of
the past few years had made still
stronger. But even those who were |
most hopeful and who put their hope |
into tangible form have been as
founded by the way trade has open
ed up. They have been quite I'M
prepared for the food of orders
that have poured in upon them since
the opening of the fall season; they
have been swept off their feet al
most. The popular books have
gone into many editions and the
demand is still on, and for almost
everything there has been a prof.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Last sunday was sacred day to the
ie" Scared and aged veterans who q
generation ago left their homes ot the
call OF their country to save her from fine
uissehsions that threatened her very life.
IL was also sacred because of the Savior
OF the world. They realized the solem.
NIFTY OF the day, and as their hearts
turned to the comrades who had ,one
before they also warmed toward the Naz.
arene who spake peace to the world.
rev are the days that remain to any
OF the old guard and anything that adds
to their peace OF mind or body should he
cheerfully accorded. 1t was Il graceful
act, IN response to their request, that the
usual Sunday base ball game was
omitted; and it reflects honor upon those
responsible for the courtesy shown.
There are many acts of courtesy to
which these brave defenders are entitled :.
kind word freely given; word of
cheer for their hating footsteps.
In these days when the octopus Of
commercialism seems to have clutched
the whole American people in its tenta-
cles, and the worship OF the almighty
dollar has so absorbed the minds of all
that the question must be asked, Will it
pay in dollars and cents, when the word
OF sympathy is sought to be extended to
others striving for liberty, and patriot.
ism seems forgotten, it is we'll that there
comes one day IN the year when we are
compelled to turn to those patriots OF an.
other generation, who without counting
bravely offered themselves a sacrifice, if
need be, upon the altar of their country.
Their steps are growing feeble, taps will
soon sound, the long roll be called; God
bring them all safely home.

THE RESERVE SUSPENDED.

By the terms Of an amendment to the
sundry civil bill Cleveland's forestry re-
serve is suspended entirely until March
l, 1898, after which il will again be oper-
alive unless in the mean time it is modi
fed by the president. While the sus-
pension lasts the lands embraced in the
order are restored to the public domain
and open to settlement, and the rights of
settlers are protected, who may go and
come at will, provided they do not vio-
late the laws governing the reservation.
We are more particularly interested in
the Olympic reservation, about which
least has been said, and Tor which reser-
walton there is the least excuse. Its
streams are fed by the everlasting SHOWS
OF the mountains, while upon the whole
territory the rainfall is probably the
greatest in the world, not by reason Of its
growth OF forests as by reason of its proX-
unity to the ocean and ocean currents
Its timber is necessary for TIE mainten-
ance of our industries, and It's valleys
and upland make magnificent farms.
There are no. objections to the setting
apart of all that portion not suitable for
farming, or upon which the timber is not
merchantable, it should be alone to pre-
serve the gamo that there abounds, but
that the great valleys and valuable tim
Der land should thus be set apart there
is no reason. Such showing should be
made by the residents of the whole OF the
Olympic peninsula, before next March
as will insure from President Mckinley
the modification of the order relating to
the Olympic reserve as will exclude all
that is valuable for farms or for its mer-
charitable timber.

From Hoquiam Washinetonian:

From Hoquiam washinetonlan:
The grand opening game on the new
ball ground will take place Sunday the
9th of June, with the Aberdeen team, (if
they have team by that time).
Mrs. Haley returned from Tacoma Sat-
urday evening. She reports that at the
consultation of physicians held over the
case of Mr.. Pettibone, decided an opera
ton shonld have been made soon after
the accident, but it was too late then. This
scores another point for DR.. Rossiter, who
claimed that was the remedy at first.
Hoquiam will soon have the bes, ball
ground in the county and one of the best
in the state. Manager Foster has had a
dozen men at work for three weeks. and
it has been well put in. The diamond
was spaded up and covered with sand.
The field has been plowed and rolled, all
the trees have been removed and few
days for the ground to settle will make it
firm,

For a Bicycle Path.

The county commissioners, at their
session this week, were presented with
petitions signed by nearly all the bust
ness men Of Hoquiam, Aberdeen and
Montesano, and other parts of the
county, asking for bicycle path along
the county road between Montesano and
Aberdeen, which reads as follows:
awe, your petitioners, respectfully ask
that there be laid out and set aside BIZ
cycle path OF not less than six feet in
width along the side of and upon the
county road from Montesano to Aber-
deem, in accordance with the law passed
by the Fifth Legislature, so that the
same can be improved by private sub
scripton and your petitioners will ever
pray"
The petitioners simply request of the
commissioners that six feet IN width OF
the county road be set apart for bicy-
Gle path and that the county surveyor
locate the line OF the road, and do not
ask that one cent OF the county funds be
appropriated for construction purposes,
the whole cost of which will be met bv
private subscription. Many were led to
believe some weeks since, when the pc
tition was being circulated, that the COM
missioners would be asked to appropri-
ate county funds to build the path, but
such is erroneous. The benefits to be
derived from such a road will be incacu-
liable TO lloquiam and Aberdeen. The
commissioners on Wednesday granted
the request of the petitioners, and as
soon as the line is located by the county
surveyor work will be commenced and
pushed to an early completion. The en-
terprise Of the bicycists is commendable
and should be given hearty individual
support.
Health means perfect condition of
the whole system. Pure blood is essen
tia to perfect health. Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla makes pure blood and thus gives
health and happiness.

The supreme court Of the state has de-
cided the law unconstitutional which ex-
empts from taxation $500 OF personal
property and $500 of improvement on
real estate, and the gentlemen who I'M
dertook to bluff the assessor by declaring
they would not pay their 1896 taxes until
they saw the 1897 roll can 60 and pay IN
peace. But the chances are they Will
not, for the same reasoning that declares
this exemption law unconstitutional also
declares unconstitutional the $500 ex-
emption on personally allowed by the
old law. This exemption being uncon-
stitutional invalidates every assessment
made under it, and these same gentle
men can properly plead the illegally OF
the 1896 roll and avoid paying any part
of it. A term of the supreme court de-
voted to calculating the constitution
would be time we'll spent.

The Coming State Paper

The Tacoma Morning Union has all
the appearance Of being the coming
newspaper, both daily and weekly, Of
Of this state. For several years it has
been leading the fight against ring rule,
special privileges and municipal corrup-
ton OF this state besides being from the
start the opponent Of single gold stand
ard. Its business has increased steadily,
and it has recently added to its complete
plant two Of the latest patterns OF the
wonderful Mergenthaler typesetting
machines. These mgchines are now in
working operation in it's office in the
postofiice building in Tacoma and the
management of the paper invites all its
friends to call and inspect them at any
time.
1t is notable feature OF the Morning
Union that it leads in the publishing Of
all the news OF the world as we'll as that
of the state OF Washington. Its Turko-
Greek war news, for instance has been
more complete and later than that pub
lished in any of its Pacific northwest
rivals. 1t leads in exposing and crush
ing out wrong and promoting what is
fair and right and honest.
All the great reform measures OF the
day are championed by the Morning and
Weekly Union.
The subscription price of the Daily
Union is 50 cents a month, $l.25 in
advance for three months, $500 per yeal
in advance.
The Weekly Union is - cents per yeal
in advance.

Times will become even harder than
they are at present should the Dingley
tariff bill become law and people are
forced to pay higher price for all the
necessaries of life. This taxing of people
to make them prosper does not work.
Lower wages and higher prices for goods
will open the eyes of the American peo-
pie to the injustice of high protective
tariff and the beauties of single gold
standard.
