ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION

The Nidette in attempting to refutc the
showing made by the county auditor
runs amuck by trying to prove too much.
IL takes Tor its basis a set of figures pur-
porting to be the actual expenses for the
year ending June 80, 1896, instead of the
amount OF warrants issued, as has been
done by Auditor Sells, and about the
correctness OF which there can be no
doubt. "A little examination of the re-.
port Tor the preceding year will show
that considerable saving has been made
even upon the Vidette's basis of figuring.
Tor it shows that warrants were issued
this year for expenses incurred during
the previous one. For instance the re-
port for fiscal year 1895 shows $453s. II
issued on the bridge fund, while the ex.
pense incurred, according to the purport-
ed statement, was $5,429.2S. There
were issued on the road and bridge fund
$l2,SlO.72 in warrants, while the expen-
SEES for the year were $14, 2465S, leaving
$2,3l6.S7 to be carrie | over to this years
account.
1t is wei, known that toward the close
OF the last county administration the
court house was a regular bee hive, in
vain effort to bring the business OF the
county up to date when they should turn
over the reins to the others. Notwith-
standing this the present county officials
have conducted their respective offices in
such an economical manner as to reduce
the expenses for the entire year more
than the difference in their own sal
aries between the new and old rates.
The administration has done we'll to have
in the last six months more than over
come the extravagancies of the proceed
ing six months.

Chas. f. Cline, of Wha.com, speaker
OF the house during the last session OF the
legislature, and r. II. Mcdaniel, also OF
Whatcom, were in town Saturday night
on their return from two months pros
pecting tour in the Olympics. They left
Olympia on July 9th, accompanied by
r.. a. McNair and G. II. Giles, of that
place, and Thos. Tyler, of Whatcom,
passing through Montesano up the Wy
noochee to Otter and then across to the
Quiniault via. Grand Forks and Hump
tulips. They took with them nine horses
and supply OF provisions, and thorough
ly prospected seven branches OF the
Qun:ault, and the main channel to it's
headwaters at the summit, opening up
pony trail as they went. Here they left
their horses and passed over the divide
into the Quects valley, exploring three
branches, reaching an altitude OF $500
feet
AT the end OF month the last three
named returned home taking some OF the
horses with them, some had been sold,
and leaving one each for Messrs. Cline
and Mcdaniel, who continued to prospect
another month, excepting eight days that
they were compelled to 60 into camp ON
account OF heavy rains. No mineral OF
any value was discovered, although they
made six quartz locations where there
were some indications, four on the divide
between the Queets and Quinault and
two 1000 feet up the base OF Mt. Olym-
pus. They returned down the east fork
OF the Humptulips, arriving at the settle
ment in Pig just as Marshal Davidson
was making the arrests for illegal cutting
of timber. Up to that time they had
been without food for two days, excepting
elk meat, and were mighty glad to get to
a house. One of their horses had also
deliberately committed suicide by throw
ing himself over precipice rather than
go up the last incline at the summit.
While nothing Of value was discovered,
yet the party have had an outing that
will benefit them mentally and physically
besides giving many an opportunity to
enjoy the pleasures OF memory, with
many Of which Mr. Cline RECALLED the
writer during an hours chat.

Silver has gone up eight cents since the
announcement that the Bank of England
would recognize it as basis for part Of
its reseve, and is still rising. Yet the
goldbug will not admit that the complete
recognition OF that metal by this, nation
twice as great in commerce and resources
as that, would have any effect upon its
value. Such traitorous sentiments one
hundred years ago would have been sui
ficient ground for hanging.

The funniest tariff kick yet comes from

The funniest tariff kick yet comes from
Michigan. The Dingley bill "socked it"
to the Canadian lumber interest. In re-
taliation Canada threatens to put an ex-
port duty on logs. A Michigan delegation
have gone to Ottawa to protest against
this. They say they wish to protect
their lumber interests in that country
from unwise retalaitory legislation.
They had bought large tracts OF timber
land in Canada, and they set up the
claim that there was an implied under
standing that they should be allowed to
cut the timber and send it over the border
without an export tax. A Detroit paper
SAYS the tax would be ga practical confis-
cation OF their properties" and that real
ly, Canada would be displaying very
unamiable spirit to put it on. Is it not
Imaginable? Protection is lovely thing
