THE STATE TICKET.

The republicans in convention as
sembled at Tacoma last Wednesday
nominated u clean strong and repre-
senta i've set OF men which should re-
celve the serious consideration OF the
voters OF Washington at the polls on
Nov. 9th. Free from sectionalism
made up OF the best men in our COM
monwealth and on an admirable plat
form of consistency and clear declara-
ton Of policy and principles at this
distance from the election, it looks
like winner
The candidates placed upon the
state ticket are men who enjoy more
than local popularity and whose repu-
tation is by no means limited to the
constituencies that stood by them SO
loyalty. They are men of weight, in
fuence, character and high standing
They are men who will grow in favor
with the voters of this state every
day until November. The strength OF
the state ticket will increase continu-
ally, and before election it will be even
better understood than it is now how
wise and fortunate was the action Of
the convention.
The republican party is proud Of
its convention and their work. 1t met
not to register DEGREES already prepar-
ed, not to trade and dicker with
others, not to deceive or cajole the
people, but to place before the public
a list of candidates and declaration
OF principles worthy of the great party
in which are contained the energy,
the high purpose, the conservative
strength and the moral force of the
republic. Its members fms he'd that
work in spirit worthy of their mis-
sion, and today the party is solid be-
hind it.
Mr.. Frink will run like u race horse
Both as citizen, a large employer Of
labor and state senator, his record is
above reproach. He is big-hearted
able, resolute, Of brave and indepen-
dent spirit, and can talk for himself
anywhere and everywhere.

The only way to build up a town is
for all to so hand-in-hand, every man
to the wheel. Danish all feelings of
discord, if any, let harmony prevail,
and you are sure to prosper. Talk
about it, push it, speak we'll of it, en-
courage your people at the head of
municipal affairs, choke the croakers,
beautify the sIreets in every way, pat
ronize its merchants, refrain from
sending outside for goods, advertise in
its papers, favor all home enterprises,
and if you can't say something good,
keen quiet.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

U. S. Department of Agriculture,
Climate and Crop bulletin of the
Weather Bureau, Washington Section
for the week ending Monday Aug. 20.
The temperature of the week was
slightly above the normal. A cool
spell extended over the state from the
10th, to the 18th; during this cool
period, it was mostly cloudy and
threatening in the Western section.
.05 inch OF rain fell at Seattle during
the night Of the 18th, which was very
beneficial in settling the dust. In
the Eastern section Cor the Wheat
Belt Country, no rain has been re-
ported, except sprinkle at Spokane
on the morning of the 18th. Al
though pastures and gardens are SUI
fering much for want of rain, yet this
has been ideal weather for farmers.
About three fourths of the wheat
is reported cut, and about half thresh-
ed in the fields. Harvesting and
threshing are now progressing rapid
ly, and much of the threshed wheat is
moved to the warehouses. The yield
will he large, owing to increased
acreage, and the quality good, but
the amount will be less than expected
The barley and oat crop will be light
due to hot, dry winds in July.
Fruit is reported to be dropping in
some localities.
Plums are ripe, and prunes are be-
ginning to turn.
Grasshoppers are reported doing
damage to pastures i'll the Upper
Sound Country and the vegetables in
the Spokane Country. The cut
worms, after doing much damage to
potatoes and garden truck, have dis
appeared.
Bemis--Harvesting completed
Threshing partly done. Paha.-
Potatoes look fine. Garden truck o
little value.
! For plans and specifications for any
kind OF architectural building, genera
| jobbing, wheat racks, ETC., call on D
H. Kimple at his Office on south side
of track NEAR Reed ii"ary barn.

Sink II bottle Of champagne in the
ocean right side up and it will come
up full Of salt water instead OF cham
payne, says the Spokane Review. Yet
the cork is there sound as ever. What
happens evidently is this: The pres
sure Of sea water equals about one
atmosphere for every 30 feet in de-
scent. When the bottle is down 300C
feet the pressure is 100 atmospheres
or about 1900 pounds to the square
inch. The cork is squeezed together
by that tremendous force, all the al
it contains is pressed out and it be
comes considerably smaller than the
neck of the bottle.

Unless there is free ballot and a
fair count and an acquiescence in
the results OF elections, a Republic
cannot live. In South Carolina there
is not free ballot. In Louisiana
there is not fair count and in Ken
lucky there is not acquiescence in the
results of elections. Yet the party
whose strength in Congress depends
on such methods is now posing as the
friend OF freedom and the savior Of
free ms titutions.

1t Is not surprising that people kick

deputies, are no benefit TO the

them do not work any. The law
creating these jobs are sort Of scheme

A working man, no matter what
his labor may be, who starts to work
on Monday morning, is a creditor at
nightfall for the amount of his days
wages and at the end of week he is
creditor for six days pay. Whether
a man works by the day, by the week,
by the month or by the year, he is al
ways creditor, for he must give his

1t is reported that resolution will
probably be passed at the coming
Grand Army encampment in Chicago
to change the date of Memorial day
from May 30 to TIE last Sunday in
May. This would pc an excellent re-
form, for the obvious reason that the
day is, in its ESSENTIAL motive and
ceremony, a sacged one, but it has
come to lBe giysn over, outside the
Grand Amy 10 sports and amuse-
ments, 50 Fat its significance has
been greatly impaired in the popular
mind. The celebration Of Memorial
day on Sundays not out OF harmony
with the spirit Of the day Of rest; the
music, the marching aud the flowers
are nothing more than would be
deemed fitting aud appropriate to a
military funeral, and faare could BE-
taken not to have the "a, cises inter
fere with any OF t,ie services Of the

Hon. John J. Ingalls,, who died
Thursday, was but few years ago one
OF the best known and most brilliant
men in public life. An able parliament
tartan, skilled debater and master
of sarcasm and satire, he achieved a
national reputation. His political
disappearance was sudden and COM
plete. The wave of Populism that
swept over Kansas carried him before
it, though at that time he had passed
the point OF his highest renown and
alienated from himself somewhat Of
the esteem that he had enjoyed by
declarations which, though conveying
his idea OF the trend of modern poll
tical activity, were accepted as en-
bodying his own conception of politi-
cal morality. He never sought to re-
turn to political life, but devoted his
later years TO journalistic work. He
was man OF polished wit and instant
resource rather than of breadth OIL
depth, but in his time he played q
leading part in the political life Of
the nation.

be shipped from there this year. The
yield is averaging % bushels or more
and the country round about is get
ting pretty well settled. An irrigation
ton has just been completed, open
ing up an immense valley eighteen
miles long, where anything that will
grow in temperate climate can be
cultivated successfully. A colony from
Coliax has leased tract OF land to be
set out in strawberries and vegetables.
Four miles east of Washtucna are
grand falls, easy Of access, which are
an ideal location for mill. This part
OF the country is sadly in need OF a
milling industry, and no other section
of the state presents such an advantage
for local trade. Thousands OF head OF
cattle and sheep are fed during the
winter months, and as forage is short
the feed must be shipped in, so ready
market could be found for all mid
dlings. The falls could be easily har-
messed after which they would pro-
duce 2000- horsepower at a nominal
expense. They are but one-iourth oil
q mile from railroad, but spur has
been promised if a mill is located
