A SIMPLE method of currency re-
form has been advocated by President
Mckinley and many other prominent
men to pervent raids upon the treas
ury by enacting law providing that
greenbacks, when once redeemed, shall
not be reissued except in exchange for
actual deposits of gold in the treasury
This would ultimately relieve circula-
ton Of the greenbacks and thus pre-
vent ever again the working of the
endless chain which has proved so dis
astrous in the past. In spite of the
recommendation of the Sound Money
League in the shape of bill for the
complete re'orm of the financial sys.
tenn, Chairman ingalls,. of the execu-
tive committee of the league, at re-
cent meeting emphatically Endorsed
this simple proposition. Such an act,
it is believed, could be passed much
more easily than a more complex
measure, and it would be long step
in the direction of currency REFORM

0lympia's Future.

Projected railroad extensions in the
Pacific northwest, that is, in the state
of Washington and Immediately adj
jacent thereto, aggregate over $500
miles. This is of vital, yes, wonderful
import to our state, and clearly fore
casts the development in prospect
The progress that will be made during
the next few years, the scope OF devel-
opment of our wealth and resources in
the near future, will surely assume
proportions that will eclipse the hopes
of the most sanguine of our citizens.
Olympia will surely participate in
this revival of trade, for the rivalry be-
tween Hill and the Northern Pacific
will force the building of a competitive
line between Portland and the Sound.
1t will mean the completion of the
Port Townsend Southern. 1t will
mean that Olympia will become a
central, railway point, forming the
connecting link between the Grays
Harbor country. the Olympia PENN
sula, and the east. II means the
actual realization of the hopes and ex-
pectations that caused the boom in the
early nineties.-Olympian.

Money in Fish.

The fish industry will be before the
next legislature for consideration upon
a large scale. Ninety thousand dollars
is not an unwise investment for per-
petuating the industry, if as appears
to have been demonstrated, artificial
propagation is guarantee of future
abundance in the supply OF our food
fishes. The proposition to operate
seven additional hatcheries in Wash
ington waters contemplates turning
out 100000 salmon and other fish
annually, which ought to increase the
run SO as to allow further expansion
in packing operations.-West Coast
Trade.
