TacOma'S Celebration.

AS the time grows nearer for the
celebration of the Fourth of July the
interest in Taco mas Celebration grows
greater.
There is no ques ton but that it will
be the largest celebration ever given
in the Northwest.
Commencing July 3rd, with Base
Ball Games, Bicycle Road Races for
gold and silver medals, open to all
amateurs, a mammoth free concert,
and other attractions.
The Fourth will be ushered in with
display of fireworks, the booming OF
cannon, the firing of signal rockets,
and from that time the fun will be
fast and furious.
Closing on the 9Th, with Boat Races,
the greatest Bicycle Meet ever held on
the Sound, for which cash prizes
amounting to $500 will be offered.
The whole to close with the greatest
Water Pageant ever attempted, when
the whole harbor and surrounding
shores will be Illuminated with bon
fires, electric lights, japanese lanterns
and illuminated boats and ships.
One-half rates on all boats and
trains, special excursions from Vic
toria, Butte and other points.

IT is doubtful If the farmers of this
state are aware Of the amount OF money
sent out of the state for the purchase
of the small white bean. The farmers
of California supply the people of this
state with about $4,000 worth of
them annually. In that state they
net the grower $50 a ton. Now, there
is no reason, says the Ritzyille Times
why the farmers of Washington can
not grow cleaner and better beans than
can be raised anywhere Oh the coast,
and there is no reason why they should
not supply the home demand. The
farmer who doesn't know how to grow
beans had better quit farming and
hunt for job on the railroad, and the
farmer who won't raise beans when
there is good demand for them at q
fair price is too hopeless case to be
worth arguing with.

BE CHEEKY. Why should a person
make himself nuisance? What gain
is there in grimaces, sourness and un-
sociability? Few people care to listen
to winnings and complaint. On the
whole, the world uses us as well as we
deserve. 1t is very hard for the de-
feated to admit this; but it is fact
nevertheless, and, if only admitted,
one of the chief reasons of defeat is
removed. A cheerful philosopher is
an element of success. He who is
perpetually suspecting others of III
treatment and keeping him down is
not welcome companion. Every
man is of less Importance to the world
around him than he likes to think.
But he can easily test it by asking
how much he himself dwells upon the
condition of others. But as much as
their grievances do not particularly
concern him, by SO much his own are
matters Of indifference to them. So
let him be pleasant, bury his sorrow,
pocket his affronts, make himself
agreeable, trust to providence and
thankfully take what comes. Cen

THIS is the advice which the Louis
vile Courier Journal, that salwart
Democrat, gives to the Democratic
party as beginning for its prepara-
tion for 1900: "Throw out the debris
of Populism which has accumulated
among the general mass Of Democratic
wreckage; accept the verdict of 1896
as to the currency; accept the verdict
as of the Spanish war as to acquisition
of foreign territory recognize the evo-
ution of the American nation into q
world power and accept the responsl-
bilities of this; never question how or
Why but address energy the problems
thus newly created.

The Olympic Peninsula.

Lying directly west OF Puget Sound,
AID contiguous to the markets of Sc
attic, is the great Olympic peninsula,
which is totally undeve]oped and but
partially explored. Much of the re-
gion is mountainous, but there are un-
known millions or feet of merchanta-
BILE timber and thousands of acres of
rich agricultural valleys. Miners who
have prospected in the Olympic noun
tains are confident that at no distant
day valuable mineral deposits will be
found to reward those who persistent
ly look for them. Lack of transporta-
tion facilities has prevented the deve-
lopment Of that section to the same
extent as has favored other portions of
the Sound country, but enterprises are
now on foot to extend railroad from
the Strait of Fuca to the head waters
of Puget Sound; also road from the
Strait to Grays Harbor, on the Pacific
coast.
When either OF these is completed
that portion of the state will offer op-
portuD:ties for home-seekers and in
vestors equal to any part Of the west.
Further south lies what is known as
Southwestern Washington, which is
the trade center for that portion of the
state. It has some Of the best agricul-
tural lands in the state and contains
many thriving cities and villages. -

A NEW RAILWAY.

The improvements that have
been made during the past few
years in its track, roadbed, bridges,
trestles, tunnels, ETC., have vir-
tually made new road OF the
NORTHERN PACIFIC. The roadbed
has been widened, trestles filled
in, new and heavier steel rails laid,
grades cut down, wooden bridges
replaced by steel ones, curves tax
en- out, tunnels lined with brick
and concrete, and improvements
made wherever possible. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars were
spent in this way during 1898 be-
sides large sums in previous years.
New and mammoth locomotives
capable of drawing the heavy
trans-continental passenger trains
at seventy-fve miles per hour
when necessary, have been bought
Progress and advancement have
been and are the order of the day.
Such a road. SOLID, SMOOTH, SAFE,
it is a pleasure to ride over, espec-
tally as it runs through the finest
scenery of the Northwestern En-
pire and touches all the greater
cities found there. Pullman's best
cars, both Tourist and First class
Sleeping cars, and a royal Dining
Car, are a part of the through
trains from St. Paul and Mime
apolis to Tacoma, Seattle and
Portland; a distance of 1900 odd
miles. Your bed room and dining
room are carried along with you
all the way-where you are they
