Merchants and business men OF
any community, who refuse or fail
to support their town papers are
not likely to attract factories or
other institutions, Capitalists are
wide awake, and they keep them
selyes posted in regard to every To-
cality in which they have any idea
OF locating, and are always asking
for "a copy of your paper. A poor
ly patronized paper is not a very
good medium for inducing capital
to invest in its town. 1t shows too
plainly the lack of interest in local
enterprise.

Some years ago there was an eX-
odus of negroes from Arkansas, and
several thousand of them found
homes in other states. 1t would be
good thing for Arkansas if fifty
thousand negroes should rise to-
morrow, like a vast flock of black
birds, and fly to the Indian Terri
tory, Oklahoma or Kansas. The
negroes will do just as well, too, in
their new homes. .-Ex
Correct. Question of all questions
will soon be what to do with the ne
gro and how to settle the difficult
race question. Ifit is possible col
onization would be the best way
of settling it.

Spelling and PrOnouncing Contest.

The entertainment at the West
Side Assembly hall last night, was
not as largely attended as could
have been wished, by the lady who
inaugurated it, still there were
enough to pay the expenses of the
same.
Mrs. Hewitt, the lady promoter,
who came here several days ago,
from Galveston, is certainly an
interesting character, a good talk
er and demonstration, and she placed
word after word on the black board
last night, for the class of eight
contestents to pronounce correctly,
the audience would be surprised to
see how many different ways differ.
ent people would pronounce the
same. The contest in spelling and
pronouncing lasted one hour and
proved quite Interesting. When
the score keeper made his report,
it was found that Mr.. W.T.. Endsley
had won the prize-spellng and
pronouncing, and in a generous and
polite manner refused to take the
same.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Loss of the Light and Power Co. s
Barn and Equipments.

Loss OF the Light and Power Co.'S
Barn and Equipments.
The destruction of the car-barn and
rolling-stock of the Light and Power
Co. of Olympia, by fire at an early
hour Wednesday morning, was a mis-.
fortune in which all share, not only
from its immediate but its lasting ef-
fects. As all we'll know, the corpora
ton was in the hands of a trustee and
just emerging from long struggle to
maintain first-class equipment and
ample service during long period Of
general depression. 1t had by indie.
fatigible energy and steadfast determi-
nation added to its carrying resources
until outside of the legitimate business
of passenger traffic it had placed the
receipts far enough in excess of ex-
penditures to hope for ultimate relief
from the strain felt in common with
every other active enterprise. There
is no fear now, we are assured, that
there will be a prolonged interruption.
In fact cars have already arrived to
supply the most important demands
upon the service, but it would be folly
to expect such an equipment as was
lost in the fire. The cars destroyed
were built to order before the gold
standard had disturbed property values
and bankrupted men OF moderate
mean, and their specifications were pre-
pared by the late Geo. Shannon, whose
aesthetic taste and pride in everything
he undertook called for the very best.
We will doubtless have an adequate
service in the course of time, but it
will be gradual acquisition and we
will be lucky indeed if it equals in any
respect that lost.
Mr.. Faulkner has met with consid-
cradle difficulty in Obtaining cars of
the standard gauge, most street. car
lines being equipped with narrow
gauge stock. He has, however, &C.
cured a closed and a fiat car from
Portland, and these will be added to by
others and the use, if possible, of one
of the motors of the burned cars,
which may, possibly, on examination,
be found in a condition to restore to
service.
The origin of the fire at the barn,
which occurred precisely at 3:15
Wednesday morning, is a mystery.
All lights had been extinguished when
the service closed about midnight,
and there had been no fire on the
premises for days. The progress of
the flames was exceedingly rapid, as
might have been expected in build
ing whose repair pits were saturated
with oil and which, being open and
beneath the track, afforded means for
quick and steady draft of air to fan
active combustion. 1t was an exceed
inly still night, scarcely breath of
air stirring, and the hour one in which
everybody is supposed to be in bed and
asleep. The fire had, therefore, time
to get considerable Roadway before dis
covery, and when the alarm was sound
