FRANKFORT, KY. SATURDAY, JULY 8. 1899.

Honorable Judge of such court, bu
by the Lord Bishop of London. Be
cause these contain what, in law, Is
an authentic register of the mar
riages of the founders Of this city
the names of their wives and sons
and daughters, the lawful issue Of
such marriages. Let US hope. these
manuscript histories may be kept in
this Historical Society so long as il
shall remain In existence in the city
of Frankfort.
"The custody of much that Is val
liable here changes with the ever
varying administrations in the p0lit-
zeal government Of the State, but we
can only pray that Kentucky will be
willing to follow where she cannot
lead-in the ancient examples Of the
keeping of such sacred records in
England, where palaces and libraries
stand for Thousand years-their
treasures more sacredly guarded every
year. =
"rhis Kentucky Historical Society,
the chartered State Society, through
| the reorganization we were enabled,
by the legal advice and courtesy Of
Governor VIM. o. Bradley, to effect,
has brought Kentucky, since the 9th
Of October, 1891, In touch with En-
gland, Ireland, Scotland, Wales,
Germany, Italy, France and our new
possessions in the islands of the
ocean. 1t has filled these book cases
with the rarest books of information
of every thing and every nation
known to the world.
"As Secretary L have carefully filed
in these book cases every newspaper.
magazine, pamphlet, booklet, relic
and book received by me, and in my
published reports will be found
notice of such, together with notice
of every picture or portrait loaned or
given to the Society. This was all l
could agree to do. To some other
person, who may be adequately
compensated for the labor and time,
must be delegated the task of cat
aloguing, in library order, in a pub
lished magazine, the names of books,
their classification in history and
literature, pictures, portraits and
relics.
"Ours has been the labor of love
and patriotism, to awaken in Ken
tuckians a proper self.respect and APP
probation of their interesting and
remarkable history.
"The corner stones, so to speak, of
this State Historical Society were
laid in 1S39.40. The building COM
menced and abandoned from time to
time. 1t took symmetrical proper
ti0ns in 1880, when, under the
fostering care of the Legislature, it
Was established with a charter that
cannot be abolished. 1t is now under
our generous care, as we'll as that Of
the State, a beautiful edifice, not yet
large enough for its possibilities and
its fame.
ITO another century must we 20

publish magazine such rs would
reflect credit upon the State. Hav-
ing accomplished 50 much, however, |
let US not yield the victory to Others,
but, with unfiinching perseverance
and hope in our cause, let us keep on
until the whole building Is fifty
joined together, and we see 1t finished
and crowned by our endeavOr.

Logs and Logging.

Taken as whole, the price of logs
has not varied in great degree all
season, but is an impression that there
will be an advance soon says the Paci-
fc Lumber Trade Journal All the
mills are running and the supply Of
logs is scarce. At the present time
No. Is, formerly selling for $3.50, now
bring easily SIS, and it is said there is a
strong likelihood of merchantables
now quoted at $3.50 bringing Sc. The
prevailing prices are: frst-class ST.
Several loggers have announced their
intention Of selling merchantables for
not less than Sc.
F. nj. Duggan, commenting on the
log situation, says: "The inclement
weather has shut off logging opera
lions; the woods are swarming in
water, and loggers are inactive except
for the work of getting out what logs
are now on hand. Il the mills through
out this region continue running at
their present capacity there will be no
logs Ill Tie market along in January
and February, and the prices will go a
booming. Anyway, there are several
tendencies working to increase the
price OF logs, aside for the demand
coupled with the unfavorable weather.
Prices o. supplies have advanced, the
cost Of labor has advanced, but the
price q loss has remained the same

Tax Notes.

After tax becomes delinquent, on
the first day of December of each year,
any person may tender the amount of
the tax due to the county treasurer
and receive certificate of payment.
This certificate of payment draws Is
per cent, and if the owner of the prop
erty desires to keep his title, he must
pay to the county treasurer the full
amount of the tax paid by the certifi-
cate man, with interest. The county
treasurer then issues a receipt to the,
owner, and the money SO paid is turn
ed over to the certificate man, who
makes 10 per cent per annum on his
investment. If the owner of the land
fails to redeem it within three years
from the day it becomes delinquent,
then the certificate man can go into
the superior court and foreclose the
tax lien and get treasurer's deed to
the property, which becomes his abso-
lutte property.-Centralia News.

On Permanent Location.

For several days past the surveying
party of Port Angeles Eastern in
charge of Construction Engineer Black
wood, have been gathering at Quilcene
preparatory to the commencing to
making a permanent survey for the
location of their road between that
place and Hoodsport. The division
for Hoodsport is being permanently
located by another party, says the Port
Townsend Leader.
1t will be remembered that Presi-
dent Cushing, when here several weeks
ago, inadvertently let drop the remark
that the Port Townsend Southern rail
road might be absorbed by his conf
pany as it had been offered for sale to
him. The work now being commence
ed at Quilcene may be taken as an in
dication that deal has already been
made between the owners of the two
railroads and that by it the possessions
of the Pacific Coast company in this
section will pass into the hands of the
Port Angeles Eastern.
The company has permanently To-
Gated It's road bed from Angeles to a
connecting point with the Port Town
send Southern. Now they make a
jump of the territory between it and
Quilcene and take up the work at the
end of the P. T. S. track.
In speaking of the route that would
be taken to Hoodsport one member of
the party said that it would follow the
line already located by the P T. S.
He said the latter road had never Sc
cured the right of way beyond Quill
Gene and AS the Angeles Eastern is
now in advance of the p T. S., it has
prior right However this may be il
is extremely doubtful if the P It. S..
would allow the P. A. E., to use its
line of permanent location if there
was not some understanding between
the two roads land if the P. A. E. did
not intend to use the P. L. S. track 1t
would hardly leave the strip between
Discovery Bay Quilcene unsurveyed.

Eat Good Breakfasts.

We are glad to find that science has
at last come to the defense of the
American breakfast, says the Toledo
Blade. Hygenic cranks and food re-
formers have lifted their voices in dis
NAL protests against the eating of a
hearty morning meal against beelsteak
and buckwheats, and the "trim mings"
thereunto pertaining. We have been
told that we are running our stomaches.
inviting dyspepsia, and shortening our
lives by indulgence at the breakfast
table. But these protests have fallen
on unheeding ears. A hearty break
fast is an American institution. and
our institutions are better than the
theories Of faddists.
Now comes Prof. w. J. McGee. an
ethnologist in the employ of the gov
eminent, who proves that the Amer
cans are longer lived, do more work
and are superior in endurance to
Europeans. In explanation of this
Prof. MCGEE says:
| In this connection | will saw that 7
believe that the greater amount Of
labor that the American is able 10
stand Is due in considerable part to a
=
single cause. The American is the
breakfast eater of the world. He in
variably commences the day with q
good meal of strong steam producing
food. Consequently work is no DRAG
on him and he can surpaes easily in
results the European, who commences
the day with little but roll and cur
of chocolate.
A sound, healthy, well-nourishec
body is necessary prerequisite te
hard labor, physical or mental. A
good, hearty breakfast starts us off al
right for the day, able to accomplish
all j. may demand in the way of labo,
and endurance. Let us thank prof
McGse for his defense of our break.

Tribulations Of the Early Editor.

IFlDul8tl0nS OF Cno Early EOlCOFs
Thirteen years ago this month the
Editor, with his proverbial hatful
of type, dropped into this"spit" and
Shelton sprang into being. Not that
the newspaper started the town, but
the cluster of houses assumed the Dig
nifty of town when it boosted of a
newspaper. With its trials and sue
cesses the JOURNAL stayed, varying the
monotony of the usual weekly grind
with politics, or whatever might be
uppermost in the public mind. Those
who were then here will contrast
Uncle Davy's homestead with the bust
ling little town OF today, and say that
their original ideas of its future Lave
been more than realized. True, there
was time when we went little Wild,
but time has sobered us up in some OF
our ideas. But we started out to
speak of the difficulties OF trying to
get out the paper in those earlier
days.
The JOURNAL began under some diff
ficulties, and it's "forms" were carried
to Olympia for the first few weeks for
printing. One of those earlier issues
we shall never forget, and several of
our readers will also recollect it. This
bay, as we'll as Olympia bay was frozen
almost across, and it was necessary
for the old steamer Willie, (now gone,
peace to all her remains but her whis-
tie which now calls from the City Of
Shelton, } to break channel through
the ice with her paddle wheel. There
being no road to the "Point," the
forms must be carried down to the
dock by hand, nearly mile through
foot of snow. Once aboard, in due
time, say halliday, we reached Olym-
pia, where the Willie fortunately got
in channel made by the Emma Hay
ward, and saved few hours. That
night it showed some more, no pros
pect for the steamer to return to Shell
ton, and community suffering for It's
newspaper.
A relief party, consisting of the edi-
tor and a wind-broken fellow nag,
with the little jag of papers aboard,
got an early start for the North. It
was as hard trip, we imagine, as 60
ing to the Klondike over the ice. The
road was some fifty miles long, (its
only 81 now,) and was mainly on the
map, so the trip occupied full day.
That was starter, and everything
must have start. With the present
conveniences of mail and transporta-
ton and the improved field, there is
more pleasure in doing business, and
we all can look back to the funny side
of the old days, forgetful of their trials,
but appreciative Of the improvement.
Although there is much more work
In getting out a newspaper than most
people imagine, an Office equipped
with modern appliances and power in
the days of existing facilities, relieves
the burden considerably. From the
hat-full of old type to the present
equipment, better than that of most
country Offices, has been quite step,
and for this the Editor is mindful of
the fact that the people of the town
and county have made it possible by
their liberal patronage during these
years. We thank our friends and
wish them all A Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year, adding that we
hope to continue TO merit their pat
ronage.
