The birds seemed to realize their loss,
and ever since have been engaged in
raising the rim OF their nest higher.
They both sit dividing the eggs be-
tween them, and seem to he contln-
ualiy engaged in the task OF making
the nest safer for retaining the eggs,
their long neckS enabling them to
reach long distance in all directions
for gathering twigS and pebbles for
the purpose. They seldom leave the
nest and only for food. While one is
feeding, the other remains on duty
and covers the whole nest during its
absence. The period of incupation Of
water fowl Is said to be 4 week longer

The olympia Press Club met lest
evening to consider the matter OF re
ception to the National Press Associa-
ton, which will probably pass through
our city early in July. After the de-
tails OF the matter had been thorough
ly discussed, the preliminary step was
taken for ascertaining the exact date
of their arrival and the probable num-
Der that will he in the party. This
consisted OF appointing Mc>srs. Scohcy,

confer with the press clubs of Seattle,
Tacoma and Portland, for such ar
engagements rs may secure harmony OF
action. 4 committee was likewise APP
pointed to wait upon the Chamber of
Commerce to secure a united move

ter Of entertainment. 1t is thought
that the train will pass through this
city at noon, and it was suggested that
IA lunch, including baked CLAIMS. be
spread in the park at Tumwater, in
close contiguity to where the best
beer on the continent is made and
after two or three hours have been
spent i'll inspecting the natural re-
sources Of the little city at the head of
Puget Sound, the party embark on a
steamer to be provided by our citizens,
for Tacoma, the next point of interest
they will visit. 1t is thought that a
change from car to boat will be a de-
lightful experience, especially as the
finest panoramic scenery on the
Sound is to be passed on the trip from
the head OF the Sound to Tacoma.
The latter committee consists of
Messrs. Murphy, Scobey, Madge and
Leeds.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

U. S. Department OF Agriculture
Climate and Crop Bulletin, Washing
ton section, for the week ending Mon.
day, May %, 1899:
The greater part OF the week was a
continuation of the unfavorable con-
ditions which have combined to make
crops so backward this season. Cold
rains continued in the western section,
and in the eastern section cold winds
and frosts prevailed, consequently
there was little growth made by any
thing except grass and weeds during
the fore part of the week. The last
two days were of more seasonable tenn
perature and at once caused an I'M
provement in the appearance of vege-
tation.
Wheat has, as rule, held its own
we'll during the unfavorable weather,
roofing and stooling we'll, and with
warmer weather will make great pro-
gress if it is not too dry. Oats are
sickly looking on wet ground; on the
prairie lands they are better. Po-
tatoes have been cut down by frosts in
the eastern section; in the western
section they have done pretty we'll on
high lands, but on low land have not
all been planted.
The fruit outlook, although good in
some localities, is not promising over
the State in general.

CORNER ALASKA WHISKY.
Chicago Capitalists Profiting by a
Monopoly Created by the Do
minion Parliament.

Seattle, Wash, June 27.-Chicago cap
italists have a corner on whisky in the
Klondike. The price has been increased
200 per cent since midwinter, and a sim
liar rise is predicted before the summer
ends.
Captain Healey, representing the
North American Trading and Trans
portation company, is wreathed in
say returning Klondikers. So also are
the officials of the dominion govern
ment. which is profiting financially by
their creation of a monopoly which has
resulted in the corner.
In taking stock several months ago,
say those who tell the story, Captain
Healey found he had on hand between
100000 and 100000 gallons of whisky OF
various grades. So plentiful was the
supply that SO gallon was the ruling
price. Captain Healey cast about for a
way to turn the goods into cash and in
so doing ran across the financial need
of the dominion government. Now,
Klondikers say, he is prof1ting by this
need, while the dominion is being en-
riched through his whisky.
The method of operation is simple.
Upon Captain Healey's suggestion, it is
stated, the dominion parliament has
passed a law revoking whisky permits
and refusing passage to liquor ship
ments. In return the North American
company is paying the government a
big revenue on it's whisky sales.
Thousands of gallons of whisky
stopped en- route by the dominion Off
Gals, according to agreement, and the
corner is now in full force. The ruling
price at present is $32 a gallon, but an
increase to at least $50 is confidently
expected. AS the miners have plenty of
cash, though, the conditions are proving
no particular hardship to anybody ex-
cept rival liquor sellers. AS regards
them, it is loosely suggested they
ought to be willing to stand aside for
the good of the dominion.

lola to Have Two New Factories
at Once.
The LanyOn Zinc Company to
Construct Them.
WILL EMPLOY 500 MEN
One Plant Will Be a Sulphuric
Acid Works.
The Other a Zinc Rolling Mill
To Cost a Million.

lola, June 27.-The Lanyon Zinc COM
pany has planned and will soon begin
building a sulphuric acid works and a
zinc rolling mill. They will both be
built on the ground adjoining lola, now
partly occupied by the two great zinc
smelters belonging to this company.
The sulphuric acid plant will be erect
ed first AS is generally known the zinc
ore received here contains on an aver
age about 35 per cent of sulphur When
the ore is roasted, preparatory to smelt-
ing, this sulphur is driven off and up
to this time it has been all wasted,
worse than wasted indeed for it poison
ed the air and other vegetation near the
works. The new factory will gather
in this sulphur and reduce it to the ar
ticle of commerce known as sulphuric
acid.
The plant will be built between the
two Smelters and will be very large and
expensive. The building will be in the
neighborhood of 1000 feet long and the
tower end of it will be between so and
100 feet high. The cost will probably
somewhat exceed half a million dollars.
1t will have a capacity of $50 tons of
sulphuric acid daily and will necessarily
require the employment of a large num-
Der of men, most of whom will be skilled
WOrkmen.

Denver, Col, June 27.-The Colorado
Paris exposition commission today made
a contract with F. Higbee, representa-
tive of one of the largest statue casting
firms in the country, for a solid gold

dollars worth of gold will be used.
The perestal is to be of copper and
pure silver, standing five feet, 8 inches
high, three feet square at the top and
six feet four inches at the base.
Upon four panel in bas relief it is
intended to show representative Colora-

the precious metals of the state and the
names of the leading mines of the state.
In Connection with this the principal

All the metals of the statue will be
the production of Colorado mines.
