The States Finances.

The State Auditor Cheetham has
issued financial and debt statement.
From it is cleaned in substance the
| financial condition of the state as fol-
lows from November l, 1898, to June
30, 1899, a period of eight months !:
On November there was cash on
hand in the state treasury ST., 290.94,
divided as follows: In the general
fund, $42 1858; military fund, $780,
81; interest fund, $19,79S.2O. The
cash receipts for the eight months
amounted to $790,050.15, making a
total of 1861, 43IO9. To make up this
total the receipts were derived as fol-
lows: General fund, from taxes, fees,
licenses, ETC., $458,825.03; sale and
lease of tide lands, $102,O32.9O; sale
of bonds to permanent school fund,
SITE, 900; military funds, from taxes,

ing the same period amounted to $685.
2l3.95, leaving the total cash on hand
June 30, 1899, $224,227.15. During
that period the total face reduction of
the state debt amounted to $12 1886. 20.
On November the state debt was ST.
ZOE, 969.25, and on June 80, it was ST.

at may be of interest to add that
during the above period there have
been paid, in addition to usual current
expenses, more than $100,OOO.OO to
meet legislature expenses and de-
ficiency claims running back several
years. Also some $4,000 ordi-
nary revenues collected by the coun-
ties during the period, and due the
state, but not then paid over, has since
been credited, Lut does not appear in

1t Is Time to Plant Bulbs.


"This is the season of the year in
which to set out bulbs. Prepare the
ground for them before they are re-
celved by having it dug up to depth
OF at least foot-a foot and a half is
better-and worked over until it is
mellow" writes Eben E. Rexford in
the September Ladies' Home Journal,
mix with it liberal quantity of old
rotten manure from the cowyard, or,
If this Is not obtainable, use bonemeal
IN the proportions of one pound to q
square yard of soil. If the soil is nat
urally heavy, it is we'll to add consider
able sand to make it lighter and more
porous. Plant the bulbs as soon as
possible after they are received. as
they are greatly injured by exposure
to the air. Set tulips and hyacinths
Elk inches deep, smaller bulbs from
four TO five inches. All bulbs shonld
Be placed five or six inches apart. and

A Slight Error.

A Blaine ,,ly, suspecting that her
husband was in the habit of kissing
the hired 81 !, resolved 10 catch him
in the act. After watching him for a
few days she head him coming home
the back v;,, CA. evening, and passing
quietly into the kitchen. Now. the
hired girl WAS ant that evening and
the kitchen WAS dark. Burning with
jealousy, the injured woman took a
few matches in her hand, hastily put
ting shawl over her head a the hired
girl often did, entered the back door
to be almost Immediately seized, kissed
and embraced In the most ardent
manner. 1t was with a heart burning
with jealously and rage that the
woman prepared to administer a ter
rible rebuke to her faithless spouse.
Tearing herself loose from his fond
embrace, she struck match and stood
face to face with-their hired man |!

treated him SO we'll since the first

Will Build to the Coast.

Somewhere on this coast will be
built great seaport town; where the
rails will first meet the sails,and where
the railroad touching the Pacific coast
will center, constructing terminals
and other facilities for handling the
commerce of the continent. That
place will not be Seattle" declared
Judge George B. Burnett, general
counsel for the Wabash. 1t cannot be
Seattle" he continued. "There is not
more than two blocks of waterfront in
that city, and much is constructed on
piles. You have great place for ter
minals in Tacoma, with all the tract
of tide flats at the head of the bays"
he said, significantly.
"Of course, [ cannot say so positive
ly, but it is my opinion the Burlington
will not long be satisfied with its con-
nectiOns with the Northern Pacific at
Billings. Whenever the traffic justi-
fies it, the Burlington will build west
ward to the Pacific coast.
cit is the Oriental trade that will
bring the railroads to the coast. The
money in freights is all in the long
haul, and all the railroads want to
share in the Oriental business. They
will seek out the most advan tageous
port and will build to that place.
"The bar at the mouth of the Col
umbia river precludes the possibility
of that ports being Portland. The
lack of terminal facilities Injuries Seat
ties prospects. 1t must be some other
port on the Sound or San Francisco
The Sound is closer to the Orient, and
in closer touch than California. Tia.
coma's facilities are unequalled for
terminals, and this should be a great
seaport. OF course the trade may
build up more than one city; should
not be surprised" Ledger.

To Follow Hoods Canal Shore.

Engineers Fitzhenry and Blackwood
returned this week from their respec-
tive tours of the country adjacent to
Hood Canal, where they have been
cruising in search of the most direct,
easy and economics route from Dis
covery bay into Olympia.
The official results of their investi-
cations are not known, but from all
that car be learned at this writing as
the tenor of their reports IT. lis safe to
hazard a guess that the 2. A. E. will
follow the old line along the water
front of Hoods Canal from Quilcene to
the foot of the Canal near Hoodsport.
Contrary to all commonly accepted
notions of the subject, the job Of rail-
road building down the front Vi Hoods
Canal is not herculean one, nor can
the distance into Olympia be lessened
and by getting further back into the
hills.
The engineering crew in charge of
Mr.. Blackwood, which was laid off at
Discovery few days since has been
put into the field again today and will
take up the work of extending the To-
cation lines, from the point at which
they we're left off, on down to the
canal.

Better Weather for Hop.

Hops are presenting promising ap-
pearance in the Puyallup and neigh
boring valleys since the clear weather
set in. Close observers say that with
warm weather for month the crop
will be large and of good quality.
At Kent and other points of King
county spraying has been vigorously
prosecuted with good results. The
yards Of w. ]. Shinn, one of the most
extensive growers in the valley, look
particularly thrifty but it is because
the spraying is continued with scarce
ly any intermission. He believes the
conditions are favorable for a stiff
market and good prices for the hop
growers.
In Lewis county, which contains
some large yards, the hop men are I'M
decided as the effect of the prolonged
rains. Hops have made little progress
toward rlpening. and many growers
thought If the wet weather continued
three weeks longer as it had the hop
picking might be indefinitely post
poned.
The brighter weather of the present
week has materially changed the stiua-
ton.
The dc,ision of the growers at the
Puyallur meeting to pay dollar a
box, has stimulated the hopes of pick
ers, and hundreds are preparing to en-
ter the fields. indians are coming
from Ne;h bay and from many other
reservations on the Sound for the hop

A word to Lodge Workers.

Is your lodge taking any steps to-
ward increasing its membership dur
ing the coming fall and winter? Each
member is certainly interested in pro-
curing applications. 1t is matter oil
self preservation. The average age
must be kept down, the membership
must increase or the assessments will
increase. Is there any good reason
why your lodge cannot get five ten OF
more members each month? You
cannot afford to do without them and
they cannot afford 10 do without the
protection given by membership in
our order. The fraternity and good
fellowship extended by our order is
worth all it cost, and in no other way
can man lay by means for his family
support with so little cost. The A. O.
T. w. is an ideal savings bank AS
an institution it is safe and reliable
Its ability to pay is never questioned
and is promptness in meeting it's liza
bilities is matter OF history. All
legitimate claims against the order
are adjusted by the subordinate lodge
and grand lodge without causing the
bereaved family any anxiety or trouble
The watchful care and brotherly kind
ness shown in sickness and distress
are among the benefits derived by the
member while living. Do your utmost
to extend these privileges and our pro-
lection to your friends. See that no
lodge meeting is without initiation.

friends are opposed on principle to the
combinations of men or concerns
Otherwise known as "trusts," that is,
all the other trusts except the oyster
trust recently formed by them. Most
combinations are formed for protec-
ton of the business in which their
members are engaged, and some take
advantage of their opportunities to
make the public pay two prices for
the commodity they control. There
is nice little distinction there that
the average democrat sometimes over
looks in the indiscriminate condemn
ing OF all combinations. OF course,
We all know that the oystermen have

A GERMAN socialist by the name of

pie who are doing the jaw act could be
made to see the truth Othello's occu-
patton would be gone. Carroll d.

SCARCELY a day passes now that
does not bring fresh reports of gold
discoveries in the Olympics. Every
prospector who returns from the
mountains bring stories of big mineral
lodges carrying gold, silver and copper.
Scores of claims have been staked on
the various finds that have been made,
and preparations are now under way
fol doing much development work.
Some splendid specimens of gold and
copper ore have been brought in to
Angeles during the past month, and
the sight of them has stimulated many
additional parties of prospectors to
strike out for the mountains. It is
gratifying to note that nearly all of
the parties now going into the Olym-
pics are composed of practical miners.
PIT. Angeles Times.
The typographical union is engaged
in boycott of the New York Sun by
a strike, not for better wages or short
er hours, but simply because boy
was employed to help man on type
machine, instead of a craftsman, al
though the duties involved arose from
introduction of new style of machine
and was not provided for in the union
schedule of rates. The war so far has
been relentless and tyranical, but the
Sun has been enabled by strain to
continue publication in reduced form
and penetrate the cloud, as it were,
with feebler ray. This object lesson
but teaches that mankind is the same
in all the walks of life. Give labor
the opportunity and it develops the
selfishness of a Carnegie; give the
poor man the chance and he shows
the cove tousness of Hawkins, which
suggests the pith there is in that trite
old saying: "Put beggar on horse
back and he'll ride to the devil."-
