wind up the affairs of the bank.
A man with only one eye can see
who is behind this move mud the

A Warming.

1t has transp1red during the past few
days that potatoes are not keeping well anc
If great care is not taken there will be a
heavy loss. Those in holes are heating
and sprouting to a considerable extent
which is due to the warm weather, ano
many lots are rotting owing to the fact
that many potatoes were frost-bitten in
the September snap, and wherever a
frozen one was put away the rot began and
it has spread to remarkable degree.
Many have learned of the danger and have
sorted their piles over in an effort to save a
portion at least of their crop
Those who have any quantity of potatoes
should carefully examine them at once, as
the progress of the rot is very rapid, once
it gets started The only remedy is care
full sorting and that must be done prompt
.ly.
Care should also be taken to see that the
potatoes are not too warm in the holes or
cellars, as they have been found to be
sprouting wonderfully fast. Everyone
should make it point to look into the mat
ter without delay; otherwise the loss on
this score will be very heavy in the valley.
1t is most important matter, and delays
in it are very dangerous. Ellensburg Cap

Readers of the Olympian will remember
reading an account of the efforts of bogus
Washington volunteer in this city few
weeks ago to win plaudits for deeds he
never accomplished, and the ignominous
retreat he made from in front of display
OF Philippine relics when his true charac-
ter was laid bare by two of the genuine
volunteers. On the occasion referred to
he made such hasty retreat that his
whereabouts have since been unknown
Recently, however, he came into notice
again. This self-made hero drifted into
the camps of the Mason County Logging
company in the Black Hills and applied
for work. He was given it and put tc
work Saturday at noon. He put in that
day all right enough but the next day be-
ing Sunday he loafed about the camp and
became pretty well acquainted with the
men. On Monday morning, however, he
failed to show up for work in the woods,
remaining in the bunk house. Between
the time the men began work until noon
the volunteer made good use of his
time, for when the men came in to dinner
it was discovered that the soldier man had
stolen about all the shoes, clothes and
small trinkets he could carry with him and
made for parts unknown. The value Of
the goods he carried off amounts to be-
tween $50 and 500, and if the loggers who
are out ever get grip on their short time
friend they will handle him in manner

MIX Inspection Works We'll.

Chicago has finally a system Of milk
inspection which seems efficient, re-
ports showing that only per cent OF
the supply brought into the city is
below the required tests. In 1890, ac-
cording to the secretary OF the Milk
Shippers Union, 90 per cent Of the
milk sold in the city was impure. The
union and the health department unite
in these protective efforts, and expect
to root out of the supply the small frac-
ton which still fails to come up to pre-
scribed standards. Samples OF the
milk are collected as 1t is being brought
into town on the trains; the cans of
the retail dealers are inspected, and
the same official attention is now be-
ing extended to the dairies themselves
and the cattle.

forts to find Evelyn, was compelled to
return home with the ring still in her
possession. Next morning she awoke
to find her mother very iii with diph-
theritic sore throat. Three weeks la
ter, almost before the mother was able
to sit up, Marcia herself came down
with the same disease. So 1t was
nearly two months before she entered
the Hammond school again, and in all
that time she had hardly thought OF
the diamond ring at all. When she
had remembered 1t, during the inter-
walls OF her own and her mothers ILL
ness, she lad intended to write a let
ter to the principal OF the school sug-
costing that Evelyn come after ring,
but this she had neglected to do, being
overworked and weary, until she was
so nearly ready to return to school
that such a course seemed unneces-
sary. Finally she resolved that the
simplest plan OF all would be to re-
tain the ring until able to return 1t
personally.
Evelyn Gorton, meanwhile, had not
missed the ring until some time after
reaching home that afternoon, and had
not then remembered where she had
lost 1t. Advertisements asking for its
return and promising reward for this
action were inserted in all the papers
by her father, but these, as Marcia
never saw them, were of no avail. At
last she gave up the ring for hopeless
ly lost, never thinking OF having left
Il at school until some weeks after
missing II.
Then, one morning as she stood
waiting for comrade in the basement,
the janitor casually remarked that he
supposed she had got her ring all right.
Explanations followed and Evelyn at
once jumped to the conclusion that
Marcia had stolen her ring.

queer about her, she was so unnatural

been finely decorated BY Jack Frost.
and the stoves were bits of Little Con-
solidated irony. The train reached the
vladuct and the passengers pulled their
caps down over their ears and took
fresh grips upon the brass rails to
avoid being blown into the river. At
last the hollow rumble under the
wheels indicated that the cars had
reached the easterly division OF the
big bridge, and a moment later the
trolley man, knowing that he had regu-
lar passengers who alighted at Water
street, stuck his head into the trail car
and yelled: Water" This was too
much for a stout man who had just
prepared to jump into the snow drift
that was heaped up along the track.

the water stage long ago. It's all ice
now. II you'd put few sparks Of Lit

you might bring 1t back to water again.
but not otherwise. Then he looked
back to see whether anybody was
laughing or not. The other passengers
were too busy shivering to laugh, so he
permitted a look of disgust to over
spread his countenance and jumped
muttering things about bloodless cor
porations that are not worth printing.
