A new law has passed our legislature,
in regard to the manner of selecting
jurors for circuit court. The law pro-
vides that judges of all circuits, requir-
ing a jury, shall on or before the first
day of July next, designate and APP
point three freeholders in each county
of his circuit, of sound judgement and
good repute, who shall be known as
special commissioners for this pur-
pose. This does away with the selec-
tion of jurors by the county board.

Among the furnishings that dis
tinguish DR.. Ashleys new otf1ce in
the fremont block, is a red birch
medicine cabinet and compounding
desk, invented and exclusively built
by the architect, Arthur Symes. The
unique feature about this cabinet is
the arrangement Of its shelving. By
simply rotating a delicate bronzed
crank within easy reach Of the operat-
or who sits at the desk, the whole
system Of loo feet OF shelving is easily
and noiselessly revolved before his eyes.
When the proper row of bottles comes
TO hand, the glass gate before the
shelves may be vertically raised, and
by automatic balances supports itself
at any desired height. The capacity
OF the shelves is perhaps thousand
walls and bottles, arranged in the
most nvenient manner possible,
and making very pretty exhibition
as they follow each other In SYM
metrical rows TO and fro before the
glass gate. 1t is altogether the neat
est thing of the kind that we know
anything about, and we see no reason
why its inventor, who has already
taken out letters patent on the de-
vice, should not be able to introduce
it to general use.

The PRODUCING CAUsE.-An Olym-
pia scientist thinks he has accumula-
tive evidence enough to warrant the
conclusion that the devastating CIV.
clones and so-called cloud-bursts of
the st. Louis and Oklahoma type, are
the resultants of @rial disturbances
directly caused by meteoric satellites.
He conjectures the existence of a series
or coterie of meteoric bodies revolving
about the earth at moderate distance
from its surface, perhaps just beyond
the confines of our atmosphere, in
elliptical orbits of great eccentricity.
At the time of perigee these meteors
could approach near enough to the
earth to induce just such atmospheric
and electrical disturbances as would
easily account for all the appalling
effects of those death-dealing visitants
of the middle Western States. A skel-
eton hypothesis pointing in this direc.
ton will be submitted to the consid-
Grafton of the Weather Bureau experts
at Washington.

Under Poor Control.

The law creating the Board of Audit
and Control certainly contemplated
that its members, with the exception
of the Travelling Auditor, should reside
ut the capital, and the service rendered
an ez oficiO duty performed by those
already on the State payroll. The
action Of the executive in making the
first appointments showed that he
realized this to be the intent when he
named four State officers to serve
without compensation. AS these gen.
tlemen came from widely separated
districts of the State, o fair representa-
ton was secured, and as their tempo
rary residence was at the capital they
could be convened without difficulty
in an emergency, without any person.
al expense that, notwithstanding the
terms of the law, becomes a moral
claim for remuneration under a re-.
construction of the board, in which
the members will be put to a personal
cost for transportation and loss of
time, whatever it is worth, from their
private business.
If this does not involve claim that
the State will be called upon to pay,
then the Governor has been exceed
ingly fortunate in securing men who
are patriotic enough to 60 down into
their pockets whenever occasion may
require to perform duty as difficult
as it is one of responsibility and repro
baton. If the gentlemen selected
accept the trust, it must be with some
idea of reward, in some shape, apart
from the recompense of an approving
conscience. If it does not manifest
itself in the party convention in award
OF fat salaries to cover present losses, il
will surely bob up in the legislature
for "relief" of some form. or nature.
And what have the people gained
by this distrust of policy advocated
by four of the principal officers of the
State, whose majorities were as great
and popular endorsement as sincere, as
the one man who proclaims himself
autocrat of the State administration
OF public affairs? Absolutely nothing
but still more odium for cause that
however just is now PROSTATE and
bleeding from the incorporate acts OF
an executive who yields nothing to his
imperious will.

A New MINING WoRK.-The latest
contribution towards development of
the State is the book of over 200 pages
lately issued by L. r. Hodges, of the
Post Intelligencer, entitled Mining in
the Pacific Northwest" in which q
complete review of the mineral re-
sources of Washington and British
Columbia are given, illustrated with
maps. 1t is the most comprehensive
treatise yet published on our greatest,
but undeveloped, resource. Those who
contemplate a visit to the mines
should read every page, for it contains
many suggestions that would be of
value to the experienced prospector
and are invaluable to those who are
not experts from practical knowledge.
1t contains likewise digest of United
States, State and Provincial mining
laws. prepared by an attorney. 1t is
of much interest to all who wish to
keep posted regarding this leading in
dustry, and is we'll worth its price, SO
cents, to the most casual reader.

We Told You So.

1t Is not many months ago that the
STANDARD, in reviewing the Pacific
coast mining industry, earnestly adj
viSed that prOspectors had better stay
away from Alaska and expcnd their
limited means in exploring our own
mountain ranges in the search for the
precious metals.
1t was clearly pointed out in COL
umn editorial that small findings and
modest returns from such districts as
might be reached within Il radius of
one hundred miles from Olympia were
altogether more rcmunerative in the
long run than the richest bonanza ever
struck in the Yukon river valley.
Since that article was published the
view taken by the STANDARD has been
practically demonstrated in more in
stances than one.
Prospectors from our own immediate
vicinity have gone out in various
directions and after only limited
tramps through the mountainous dis
tricts, they have returned abundantly
convinced that there are inexhaustible
riches locked up in the hills all about
us, and only needing pluck and enter
prise for their profitable development.
Many who have returned from short
prospecting tours. undertaken mainly
on the reports of those who had pre-
ceded them, unite in declaring that
the half had not been told. These
words of good cheer are coming from
one end of the Sound country to the
other; and, iii fact, from all over
Northwestern Washington. While we
write, word comes that late discoveries
in Snohomish county are driving the
people wild, and hundreds are fiocking
to the new gold fields. Indeed, the
click of the pick and shovel are waking
the echoes of the Olympic Businesses
and there is every reason to believe
that before the working season is ended
discoveries will be made rivaling the
Eldorado fields of California.
The STANDARD furthermore advcrted
to the fact that gold, next to iron, is
one of the most universally dissem-
mated of the metals, much more so
than silver, and it was folly for men
to go to the ends of the earth in quest
OF mineral wealth before thoroughly
testing the streams that are daily and
nightly depositing their gold-laden
sands at our very doors.
1t goes for fact without saying it,
that, practically, the working season
in our own mountain districts lasts
the year round. Water and timber
for carrying on mining operations
are easy of access to the prospector,
and as free as the air he breathes.
