III Miss MOrrisOn Goes to Lansing.
If Jessie Morrison fails to get new
trial and is sent to the penitentiary,
she will be good tailor when she gets
out, for she will be put in the tailor
ing department. "About the only
place we can work the women at the
penitentiary is either in the laundry
ar the tailor shop" said Warden Ed
Jewett. 81 think we will give Jessie
n place in the tailor shop. If she were
a typewriter we might put her in
the Office. Women prisoners are
handled differently from the male
prisoners. We don't keep them in
single cells. We put all the women in
a couple of big rooms with doors and
windows barred. They sleep in these
rooms. Some of the beds hold two
women and some only one. The women
are brought in contract with the men
at the chapel and in that way nc
qunintances are struck up, despite our
efforts to prevent it. Men and women
prisoners should not be Mt the same in
stitution by any means. We now have
26 female prisoners, and. there are five
more headed our way, including Miss
Morrison. From what I can under
stand, Jessie has always borne u good
reputation, and this killing is the
only thing against her. This being
true shall take special care to locate
her. The fact is that the women who
come TO the penitentiary are as rule
pretty hard citizens"

"For the year drawing'to close the
returns to producers of all classes in
this state have been enhanced by large
proportions" says the West Coast
Trade. ut is within the bounds of
conservatism to state that wheat, for
estry products, coal and fisheries have
produced revenues approximately $lO,-
100000 greater than during 1900, when
splendid comparative showing was
made with previous years. This, with
q population no larger than that of the
state of Washington represents a fine
showing of increased wealth, while
every year is witnessing an increase Of
productions along diversified lines in
agriculture and manufacture that is
surprisingly large in the aggregate, and
Is contributing I'm no small degree to
increased stability in the position of
this section. Measured by every test
commercially, industrially, by bank
cleafings, postoflice business, by for
eign and domestic shipping, by popu.
lation or any gauge by which perma-
nent advancement may be ascertained
the Pacific northwest is showing splen-
did progress, but the feature that is
particularly gratifying is the absence Of
fictitious stimulation, of speculative in
fluences and boom conditions, from the
climax OF which reactions occur.n

One of the notable effects of the re-
cent decision in Illinois, compelling the
state board of equalization to place an
actual instead Of nominal valuation
upon the capital Of corporations for the
purpose of assessment, was reported
from Chicago few days ago, when the
court dissolved a temporary injunction,
restraining the board from raising the
assessed valuation of the Chicago
Union Traction Company's properties
from 100000 to $75,OOO,OOO. By this
change one corporation which has
hitherto enjoyed comparative immun-
ity. will be obliged to pay taxes
amounting to 81 100000. Let the good
work go on and may the same practic-
able principle be applied in all the
states and corporations be compelled to
pay just taxes upon franchise values.

"We wish that every farm In Main

"We wish that every farm In Maine
would be named" says the Lewiston
Journal. "This is not o mere matter
of sentiment, by any means, but is
strictly business. The man whose farm
is known by some name is certain to
take greater interest in its products,
and conduct all of his operations OH a
better plan. On every place there is
certain to be some popularity that will
suggest name. A spring of pure
water, grove Of oak or maple trees, or
something else of a similar nature will
give 1t local flavor. Then paint this
name on the end of the barn facing the
road. Let it be where every passerby
can see 1t. Your farm will Their soon
become known far and wide, and will
aid you in thousand ways. Besides,
how much more dignified it is to be
spoken of as the proprietor of Oak
Grove Farm than to be alluded to as
Jim Jones. BY all means name your
farms and 1t will make you all better
farmers"

Rev. Henry Harpst preached a good,
wholesome, patriotic and appropriate
sermon at the union services at the
Presbyterian church Thanksgiving
day, taking for his subject, "The
American Republic as the Child of
Providence" To his mind the United
States is the specially chosen field for
the working out of the great designs of
Providence for the betterment of the
human race. Mr.. Harpst is evidently
very strongly in sympathy with the
policy of the Republican party on the
question Of tho acquisition and gov.
ernment Of new territory and it must
be obvious to all who heard his
Thanksgiving sermon that he has little
patience with the so-called "anti-im.
perialists" who are seeking to arrest
the progress of the United States flag
In any land or CLINE as the worlds
foremost emblem of liberty, law and
Christian government.

man immigration declined and we be-
gan to have an influx Of Poles and
Russians, but the preponderance Of for
eigners, today, surprising as it may
seem, is italian. The reason for this
probably lies in the fact that America
affords the best opportunities for q
common laborer, and Italians form the
largest percentage of day laborers
Some 10000 men are employed In ex-
cavating for the subway tunnel in New
York City, nine-tenths of whom are
Italians. This race is particularly
thrifty one, and its people seem to be
satisfied with the ready work and the
prices paid, and many Of them have
been known to lay aside goodly sums
from their wages. The criminal rec
ords of New York City show that the
percentage Of crime among these peo-
pie is gratlfyingly small.
