The first half of 1900 has been NUM-

The first half of 1900 has been num-
bered with the past, and in practically
all respects it has been a period Of
substantial advancement for CONNER
cial and industrial interests through
out the Pacific Northwest. Merchants,
on the whole, have had Il very satisiac-
tory business, larger by considerable
margin than in 1899, and far in ad.
vance of the same period in proceed
ing years. Consumers among the
laboring classes have had full employ
ment at better wages than for long
time, while their increase in numbers
has been marked. Urban growth has
been stimulated by large expansion
in industrial occupation and by a
period of considerable activity in
building operations. There has been
few il any OF the cities and towns OF
this state, which do not snow addi-
tional population in the half year,
while great many have enjoyed
growth OF a splendid character. Agri-
cnlturally the advancement has been
FAR above the normal. Capital for
investment is very largely in evidence.
For timber, coal and flaming lands,
there has been a strong demand, while
industrial and mercantile enterprises
have commanded the attention and
cash OF investors. Commerce, both
foreign and domestic, has scored
material advance. In short, the last
half year OF the closing century is
entered upon under most suspicious
conditions. A splendid crop outlook
with every prospect OF marked accel-
Grafton in an already very satisfactory
rate of immigration from the east, is
yet before. All OF our surplus prod
ucts promise to command good prices,
with further increase in output.
Wheat, flour, lumber and coal are in
IL good position to bring into the state
an abundance of ready cash to lubri-
cate the wheels OF business. The
campaign year bugaboo has less effect
upon such staples than where specus
latioa forms 50 large an element in
business conditions, heAce there is no
reason to modify the belief that the
ensuing six months win be q period of
prosperity and progress for Washing
top and the North Pacific country.

1t is amusing and at the same time
sad in the extreme to note the many
inconsistencies practiced by the people
OF today. For example: A man or
woman, boy or girl, struggles along in
this world to live an honest, upright
life-on all sides he or she is confront
ed by lurking demons ready to drag
him or her down, and rarely ever does
he or she receive encouragement by
those whose duty it is to do so. All
the elevating graces with which God
endowed mankind and which should
shine as beacon lights are hidden from
them. Death comes-the very ones
who refused or neglected to give a
word of encouragement and uplift, are
generally the first to deck the casket
with pyramids and wreaths OF bsauti-
full flowers. Let more OF the love, re-
spect and sympathy that such tokens
bespeak, be given to the living, not
necessarily in boquets, ETC., but in
kind deeds and words Of encourage
ment, and this world will be the
brighter and happier for it.

with bullets and aimed to kill. Sky
rockets and powder explosions, the

of mishaps. In several instances per-

When you wish to see u newspaper
man at his worst, happen in the Office
just after the first copy OF the current
issue comes from the press. He sits
down, looks over the first page and
then the others in their rotation.
Shortly you hear II muttered oath,
his face becomes red, and if he has
hair it is liable to be pulled out by the
roots. Every typographical error
stands out in bold relief, every mis-
take in the makeup stares at him
like a grinning devil, several items
OF news are recalled and he CRASHES
his teeth to think that he neglected
to write them. There is much to
disturb him, little he commends. 1t
is ever thus and thus it will probably
ever be.

The illinois supreme court has de.
cided that hard cider is Intoxicating
and that those who peddle it will have
to take out liquor licenses. This de-
cision is important, even if late in the
day. Experts tell us that man can
get an uglier, more savage jag in an
hour through straw inserted in a
cider barrel out back OF the woodshed
than he can accumulate in Il whole of
dalliance with the fancy trimmed

A LOST VIRTUE.

Anyone who has watched the con.
duct Of the American people during
such IL season OF prosperity rs the
country is now passing through can
not fail to notice that we enhance our
prosperity and also endanger it by
prodigality. These days when work
is plentiful and well paid are the ones
when men refuse to labor. For sever
al days before the Fourth Of July in
this state employers Of various kinds
of labor were unable to fulfill their
contracts because their men knocked
off work and refused to return until
they had had their holiday out; all
over the country wheat fields are
white to the harvest, and the number
OF laborers inadequate, not because
there are not men enough to do the
work, but because most of them have
u few dollars which are burning in
their pockets. The same thing holds
in the field OF domestic labor.
In this way prosperity really be-
comes the advance agent OF disaster
and our prodigal temperaments make
clear the way for more "hard times"
since they encourage us to diminish
our reserve stores and thus to put our
selves at the mercy Of any slight un-
favorable change in conditions. When
everybody is spending to the limit, as
they are today, it doubtless is difficult
to resist the contagion OF extravaganza
but the hard truth OF the matter is
that the time to work is when work
can be had; the time to save is when
money is plenty. The men who refuse
to labor today are those who will cry
most loudly if the economic aspect of
matters change, and will seek to be
saved from the results of their own
folly and unthritt by blaming the gov
ernment for condition which they
could have avoided by the exercise OF
the old fashioned virtues OF industry
and economy.
1t is, of course, human nature to ell
joy the foam OF the moment and to
want to sun oneself in the prosperous
hour; but in no other nation is the
practice of working prosperity for all
it is worth and leaving the future to
take care of itself so universal as in
America. Our prodiSal temperament
is responsible for much of our eeono-
mic distress. Only a young, vigorous
and elastic nation could afford to be
so idle, wasteful and riotops as we
show ourselves to be when shines are
good" 1t seems clear enough that
this is not as it should be. So long
ago as the Egyptian captivity OF the
children of Israel, i. was made clear
that the fat years are those for saving
the lean years those for spending.
Unless we wish to come to the husks
OF the prodigal son, we must take the
lesson to heart. II thrift is not all
ready lost virtue this is the diyinely
appointed time in which to exercise it.
