The State Institutions,

H. J. Snivelyr of the State Board OF
Control, submitted to the following
interview in a recent issue OF the
Spokane-Review:
"What was the main object of the
Boards tour of Inspection"
"You probably know that the last
legislature, with a view to economy,
very largely reduced all the appropri-
atoms for the institutions under our
charge. Thus the Medical Lake asy-
lum, for instance, must now be run at
an expense of A cents per capita per
day for each inmate, THAT should es-
tablish the unit for estimate definitely
enough, it must be admitted on basis
of 274 inmates. This asylum has cost
as high as 65 cents per capita in the
past two years. You see that this is a
big reduction and requires q close ap-
plication of business principles to keep
within our appropriation.
"The Walla Walla penitentiary has
heretofore cost $149 year for each
prisoner. We hope and expect within
the next year or two to reduce this to
less than 500 per year. We have al.
ready reduced it considerably.
"The Western Washington asylum,
at Steilacoom, under present appropri.
alton, must be run for 37.9 cents per
capita daily, figuring on basis of 526
inmates. Heretofore the institution
has never cost less than A cents per
capita.

"In what condition did you find
that and its management?
"The school appeared to be in good

been entirely too extravagant. To il
lustrate the extravaganza there, thu

is upwards of $500. And when say

THE SECRET ORDERS.

| M. c., at its last meeting conferred the
round table degree on four candidates,
! three from Silver Wave and one from
Wheeling City Castle No. Is. Both Of
| these Castles are doing we'll taking in
candidates almost every meeting. They
are doing their best to live up to the
motto OF our order which is Loyalty,
Obedience and Fidelity. These three
things in this world man wants to
look after. They art his spiritual, NOR
al and temporal welfare, not only of
himself but of his family also, with the
first we, as an order, having nothing to
do, for the duty of looking after mans
spiritual welfare is one that belongs to
the church, and no society has any de-
sire to step into her prerogatives, but
with the second, that is mans moral
welfare, we, in connection with the
church, have very much to do, and if
we practice the moral lessons which are
taught in our Castle chambers and prac-
tice them in the outside world, our in
fuence for good in the community in
which we live will be felt by all with
whom we come in contact, for the third
that is mans temporal welfare, the
church has made no provision and
earnestly believe that it is due to this
omission on the part of the church,
more than any other factor, that has
brought about the formation of the So
called secret societies as adjuncts to the
church. | do not care to enter into a
detailed discussion Of the formation

confine myself to the particular one Of
which | am so proud to be a member,
for to me there is no organization in
this broad land of ours, care not by
what high sounding or ancient title it
is known, which can compare with the

mound and thoroughly opened up and
explored it, with the assistance of
many willing hands residing in it's
immediate neighborhood. A number
OF the most interesting relics were I'M
earthed. and the investigation went
distinctly to. show that the mound
was of prehistoric origin. Nearly a
whole day was spent in the work, but
the continuing value and interest of
the discoveries made sufficed to make
the time seem unduly short. Both by
internal and external evidence the
mound has remote antiquity, and the
classification and allotment to their
epoch of the relics found will afford
considerable study to both our local
and visiting prehistoriologists
