LABOR OMNIA VINCIT.
RlTZVILLE, MARCH l, 1899.

MONDAY morning the board of
County Commissioners met in special
session to unravel the tangle in the
office of County Treasurer Shaw, and
with a feeling of duty and responsible
ity due the people of this county, after
patiently bearing with the present in
cumbent for nearly two months, af-
fording him ample time and oppor-
tunity to,put that important office in
proper shape and file the necessary
bond, so that its affairs could be in
diligently and safely administered,
the board justly concluded it was use
less to wait longer, and voted to re-
move Mr.. Shaw, declaring vacancy,
and Orr II. Greene, after much press
ure being brought to bear upon him
reluctantly consented to act, and by
unanimous voice of the board, was APP
pointed Treasurer of Adams county,
Washington, for the unexpired term
ending January 1901. Orr H. Greene
is young man Of sterling worth, an
experienced book-keeper, and sue
cessful business man, and is regarded
as one of the shrewdest financiers in
eastern Washington. He came to
this city 10 years ago from Youngs-
vile, Pa, with his father, N. H..
Greene, now OF Spokane. They en-
barked in the lumber and dry goods
business here and have made a for
tune, which they still possess, being
heavy owners in valuable real estate
and buildings. Mr. Greene has often
refused the highest Office within the
gift of the people of Adams and this
is his first official position in the
county. He was city clerk two years
and for the same length of time was
our mayor. The people OF Adams
county will rise as one man to en-
dorse this splendid appointment.

THIS is about the manner and style
Texas newspaper reporter recently
commenced an article heralding To-
cal marriage: Thursday was most
beautiful day. Not a cloud fecked
the blue sky, and the sun placed a
mantle of gold on the earth. 1t was a
winter day by the cycles OF the earth ;
it was summer day by the temper OF
the air, the pulsation of hearts and
the smile OF radiant faces. While un-
seen angels sang the marriage anthem,
visible forms whispered DER aad DER
the old, old song OF love that the heart
fosters through the valleys overgrown
with shadowy trees

IRA P. ENGI chart, member of the
legislature from Yakima county, has
placed himself on record as squarely
against the useless expenditure Of
money and of running the State in
debt where there is no good reason
for it, as in the matter of the proposed
appropriations asked for the purpose
OF buildingsa few more unimportant
so-called safe roads. While Mr.. En-
glehart has no doubt antagonized the
interests of his home town in this
matter of road appropriations, he is
man of too broad principles to let
selfish interests overshadow his sense
OF duty and Justice to the whole peo-
pie. More men OF Mr. Englehart's

A GLORIOUS RIVER.
The Beautiful ST. Lawrence. and Its Many
Quaint Wonders.

The Beautiful ST. Lawrence. and Its Many
Quaint Wonders.
The St. Lawrence is a phenomenon
among rivers, No other river is fed by
such gigantic lakes. No other river is
SO independent of the elements, says
Natures Realm. 1t despises alike
rain. snow and sunshine. Ice and
wind may be said to be the only things
that affect it's mighty flow. Something
almost as phenomenal as the St. Law
renee itself is the fact that there is so
little generally known about it. 1t
might be affirmed that not one per
cent. of the American public are aware
of the fact that among all the great
rivers of the world the St. Lawrence is
the only absolutely floodless one. Such,
however, is the case.
The st. Lawrence despises rain and
sunshine. Its greatest variation caused
by drought or rain hardly ever exceeds
a foot or fourteen inches. The cause
of this almost everlasting sameness Of
volume is easily understood. The St.
Lawrence is fed by the mightiest bod
les of fresh water on earth. Immense
as is the volume of water it pours into
the ocean, anyone who has traversed
all the immense lakes that feed it and
for the surplus waters of which it is
the only channel to the sea wonders
that it is not even more gigantic than
it is. Not one drop of the waters OF
the five great lakes finds its way to
the ocean save through this gigantic,
extraordinary and wondrously bcauti-
full river. No wonder, then, that it
should despise the rain and defy the
sunshine,

Motto of the FOunler Of the English
Branch Of the Kotllschild Firm.
Those who have read "Todd's Stu.
dents Manual"-it would do the boys
a world Of physical and moral good to
read twill recall his illustration of
the value of doing small deeds. He de-
scribes a coat of arms which repre-
sented mountain and man with
piclax, digging away. The motto was:
Peu peu, little by little"
The great fnancicr who founded the
English branch Of the famous Roths-
child firm of bankers worked upon the
lines marked out by this coat of arms.
Among his ''clients" was one of the
day the business he had to transact
was on SO small scale that he took it
to Il less famous house.
Rothschild soon heard of the trans
action-he had a way of hearing of
everything done on 'change-and when
next he met the broker, he rebulsed
him for not coming to the house OF
Rothschild.
'Oh, SIR" answered the broker, II

small to bring to your house."
''Ah, but bishness is bishness," re-
piled the great banker.
Mrs. Rothschild thought with her
husband. She was generally in the
counting room, keeping the books, and
wearing two watches, displayed at the
waist, according to the then ostenta-
tious fashion.
Growth Of Lion.
When young lion reaches the age of
two years he is able to strangle or pull
down horse or an OK, and so he con-
tinues to grow aud increase in strength
till he reaches his eighth year, when he
grows no more. For twenty years after
his fangs and talons show no signs of
decay, but after that he gradually be-
comes feeble. and his teeth fail him.
