ernor did not call upon Deep Creek"
Jones to aid in any plan for "irriga-
ton" of the arid lands, during his

he is very much unlike the Governor
of South Carolina, in at least one
peculiar characteristic.

DISASTROUS FIRE AT TACOMA.-The
Standard Oil Company's warehouse
and stock, at Tacoma, was wholly de-
stroyed by fire, yesterday morning, at
an early hour. The plant was an ex-
tensive one and the chief distributing
point for the Northwest. All that re-
mains of it are the immense storage
tanks in the yard. The flames were
undoubtedly of incendiary origin, as
there had not been fire on the prem

The Official Guillotine at Work.

The damphoolishness of the Cleve
land policy of retaining political enc
mics in Office, it is evident is not to be
leading feature of the present adj
ministration. Already the glistening
blade is beginning to fall, and the
heads of two of our local land officers
rolled from the block this week, not
withstanding they had year or more
to serve to complete their terms. 1t
may be that the well-known animosity
of Senator Wilson, who by the grace
of Mark Hanna, presides at the pie
counter, for Register Murphy, may
have had something to do with this
precipitancy, but it must be borne in
mind that these are no ordinary times
and the demand for official pap is &C
companied by doubled-up fist and
loud and persistent bawl. The next
player to lose will probably be the
Surveyor General, although he has
had his stake persistently "coppered"
by loud professions or devotion to the
goldbug policy. A little bird tells Us
that John F. Convey may gravitate
into this comfortable berth. Our local
Nasty will probably walk plank be-
fore his term is out, and if he does, w.
I. Cavanaugh. one OF the ever-patient
Oliver Twists of the &. o. p. is likely to
be rewarded for his fidelity. 1t is
said that Col: Heustis is slated for
Collector of Customs, and with the
liberal force of clerks and deputies at
his command, may probably be able to
fill q position whose duties consist
largely of routine work. But even
the prospect of his appointment has
caused howl to reverberate the whole
length of the Sound, and when he
takes his seat (if he is appointed)
there will likely be a large rip in the
party's neither garment.

THE PLAGUE.STRICKEN DIsTRICT.-
And now comes another narrowing
account of loss of life and destruction
of property in that storm-infested
district in tho middle of our great
continent. Canadian valley, in Okla
homa, is a dreary waste, from winds
and flood that swept over it Wednes-
day. At sunrise q mighty wall of
water from six to eight feet high and
mile wide, broke in upon West
Guthrie, crushing houses, sweeping
away property and drowning people
by the score. The flood is supposed
to have came from a cloud-burst. 1t
is reported that hundred lives have
been sacrificed and millions of prop
erty destroyed.

What Can They Do?


III. {. Townsend, a prominent rail-
road man, complain, OF legislative
interference with rates. and says that
the roads have hard worl; t. pay
expenses Notwithstanding the gen
cral opinion that all corporations are
rolling in wealth, We believe he but
stated the truth Those who hold the
bonded debt oi the railroads, when
they receive their u~urious demands,
leave little, ii anything for expenses
oi operation, which are H. heavy in
times Of depression H. when everything
thr"h, with health and business
energy. In fact, railroad holdings
have been subject IT, the same great
law a. U;.icr property, and have be
come Improbable for the same reason
that realty cannot yield a revenue
sufficient to meet current expenses
The depreciation OF al property values
is only another indication of the aug
mcntcd value OF its standard OF meas
urement-thc gold dollar. The prop
crty would be worth as much as it ever
was had we an elastic currency that
would adjust itself to conditions; but
when preferred indebtedness must
be paid in gold and the yellow
metal is not attainable to pay it, just
so much property as will tempt the
ayarice OF The speculator must go
to obtain the gold to pay the debt.
The money-shark takes care that his
interest is paid in the preferred metal ;
and in the case of the railroads, if peo-
pie not having money should walk,
or as a matter of economy ride BIZ
cycles, the roads have, as a result gone
into the hands Of the receiver, even
though freight rates are not regu-
lated by legal enactment. so We
think Mr.. Townsend is right, and
the best indication of it is that all but
one OF the tranScontinental lines are
already in the hands OF receivers. The
railroads can no more free themselves
from the devil-tish than can other
property that is held by the tentaclcs
of the gold power.
A RIDICULOUS CLAIM.-The Olym-
plan has at last discovered Il gleam of
that sunshine of prosperity so lavishly
promised the moment the ballot
should announce the election of the
tin-god. 1t is seen in the preparations
made for operating the Touring mill
at Tumwater. Although somewhat
delayed, this "glcam" has at last pen
etrated the murky clouds and we
should be happy. The wonder has
been, however, that so fine and modern
a mill as that at Tumwater, on the
line of railroad and water transporta-
ton, with its matchless waterpower,
should have been allowed to remain
idle SO long, with its staple product in
such brisk demand. But it is the
habit Of the G. o. p. to make extrava-
CANT claims and reach out for every.
thing in sight which affords the slight
est hope of adding to party strength.
"Claim everything; concede nothing"
the despairing cry of Blaine when the
vote of New York held the result on a
balance, is characteristic of the party
which by its long and persistent pull
at the teat have all such methods
reduced to system.

Andrew Braaten and Miss Clara
Gillespie, of Monroe, Snohomish
county, started Saturday to drive to
Everett to be married. They stopped
at wayside watering trough, and
Braaten took the bit from the horses
mouth to allow it to drink easier.
While he was out of the buggy, hog
rushed out into the road and fright
ened the horse, which plunged to one
side, throwing the girl out. Braaten
picked her up unconscious, and car
ried her to the house of Senator Davis.
A doctor was summoned, and remained
all day with the unconscious girl, but
the conclusion was too much for her,
and she died the same evening. Braaten
begged piteously to save his intended
bride, and when the day which was to
have been his wedding day ended in
her death, he was broken down with
grief.
Albert Barthold, so years old, a

ceased was blistered by the liquid.
On the chair was a letter addressed to
Pauline Cassel, a widow, 20 years old,
for whom Barthold once before threat
ened to commit suicide, because she
would have nothing to do with him.
The letter read: Pauline, | love
you. l cannot live without you, SO I
die. Farewell forever; l have loved
you not wisely, but too we'll" He
was so much the senior of the pretty
Pauline Cassel that she constantly re-
pulsed him. Barthold was last seen

The Japan Gazette refers to the
sale Of forty million ven worth Of
Japanese war bonds In England, "a
the first in5taIlment Of the self
imposed penalty inflicted for the
sake Of expansion" This loan
from Great Britain's bondholders
Is regarded a. a lien upon the in
dependence Of Japan, ''for no mas
ter Is more exacting than the Euro
pean bondhoIdcr." There Is more
truth than poetry In the comment
of the Japan Gazette, at the same
time a lien Of this character often
works both ways. While Japan
may have placed itself more or less
under the thumb Of the British
bondholdcr, it may also be fairly
we'll assured Of his good offices in
times of trouble. In these days of
international combinations it does
not always follow that the most
independent nation Is the most sue
cessfuI in attaining Its ends
While there may be no love lost
between the British and the Japa-
nese, these people have common
interest in watching the maneuver-
ing Of Russia to gain a foothOld
in the Orient. Already Japan has
a grievance in consequence OF the
employment of Russian soldiers in
Corea, and although no serious in
ternational differences have arisen
on this point there can be no ques-
ton of the wisdom of Japan laying
It's lines for friendship with Great
Britain. Friendship backed by the
conscience of the pocket book is
certainly better than friendship
based on mere matter of senti-
ment.
In this connection Marquis ltO's
journey to England is said to have
some significance. 1t is not often
that a high japanese official goes
abroad without the intent to ac-
complish something for the future
welfare of this country. The Cret.
an trouble Is of no direct interest
to Japan, but it has been suggested
that the episode may furnish prece-
dents that may come into play in
dealing with the Hawaiian matter.
Now that Japan has come into the
great family Of civilized nations, !
it cannot act single handed. 1t |
must form friendly alliances com
merciaIly and financially, and nat
urally turns to Great Britain as
one of the most powerful agents in |
directing the future of the Orient.

will interest those bordering over
the effect of the American. tariff on

traders testimony, the cost of 100
pounds of imported refined sugar
was 1875 cents higher on account
of the duty than the cost of the
raw sugar needed to make the re-
fined. Under the Dingley bill the
difference was p cents. Under

Reports in the vernacular papers

being submitted to the information

This way out Of the difficulties IS
original if nothing more. 1t is to

SMALL BOYS SAD FATE.
WAS PLAYING IN THE POWER HOUSE


A most shocking fatality occurred at
the power house Of hte Salt Lake city
Railroad company at 3 o'clock this
afternoon. The victim was little While
Riley, who lived with Mrs. Carol, his
grandmother at 522 state street. 1t APP
pears that he, with two or three other
small boys, entered the power house
unobserved and commenced playing
with the cars. The presumption Is
that they got on the construction car
put on the trolley, turned on the cur
rent, and started. The car ran about
forty feet. Willie either jumped OFF or
was thrown of and caught beneath
the wheels where he was crushed to
death. The other lads ran away and
have not been seen or heard of since.
The employees q the power house
were speedily attracted to the car
which they had TO lift from the boys
body by means Of mechanical con-
trivances. The little chap lived long
enough to give his name and address.
His father is dead and his mother is
in California. His body taken TO
Evanss undertaking establishment
where an inquest will doubtless be
held.
