morespeople, more money, more growth.
These will not come under threat of
increased taxation. While l can see
some few advantages are to be gained
on the part of some who have business
at the county seat, yet | must confess
that the disadvantages to my mind far
exceed the advantages and, Furthermore,
the number who will be really benefited,
it seems to me, is far less than those
who would receive any direct benefit but
would have many of the disadvantages.
This matter has not been discussed at
any considerable length, and it seems to
me that division of the county should
not be made until after the people have
had time to consider it. These are some
of the reasons why | feel that cannot
favor division of our county. There
are others that | will not take time to
set forth. Were to claim to be neutral
| would not be entitled to your respect
That will lose the respect of the good
people OF the southern part OF the county

victions in this matter, do not believe
Very sincerely yours, W. L. JONES.

DIVISION OF THE COUNTY.
Ex-County Commissioner Mathews Writes on
the Subject-Favors Division and Thinks It
Would Be Beneficial All Around

PRossER, Wash, Jan. 2S.-To the Ed
itor.-You ask me for my opinion in re-
gard to the division of the county.
| have given the question very little con-
sideration. l knew that a bill would be
introduced at this session of the legisla
lature for division, but did not know
that l had been named as one Of the
commissioners, as | wasn't looking for
any more thankless jobs. AS | am a
resident of this part of the county, and
what little property own is here, | am
in favor of division because | believe it
will save us dollars, and dollars seems to
be the only question taken into consid-
Grafton. We are now county of the
fourteenth class, with an increase in sal
aries amounting to $1,000 per annum.
If the county is divided Riverside will
be county of about the twenty-seventh
class and low salaries. Yakima county
will be in a lower class and will pay less
salaries. If you will look at the volume
of business transacted by the several
county officials for the people of the pro-
posed county of Riverside, you can see
how it will be possible to run your
county with three or four less deputies.
As to the increase in taxes by division
of the county, as claimed by the repub-
licans, the statement will have to be
backed up by some better arguments
than they have used so far. If we have
only 81 ,000, 900 worth Of taxable prop
erty, as they claim, and would take one
fifth OF the county Indebtedness, or $40,-
600 only, we must only pay one-fifth OF
the taxes OF the county, and would not
pay more than the salary of one deputy
for each Office; therefore it would be to
the best interests of Yakima county to
kick us out and not throw away money
by paying for our supplies, taking care
of our county poor and county criminals
and paying for extra county printing.
The people of the proposed county Of
Riverside ought to be willing to pay a
little more taxes if they can have a
county government of their own and
build up town that will help to build
up the county. The expense Of one trip
to Yakima once a year would pay the
individual increase in taxes. 1t is not
the inceease in taxes for the people of
the proposed new county that the repub-
licans of North Yakima are crying about.
1t is the loss of our dollars.

Big Cost OF Getting a BattIeship Into

speaking of the recent launching OF
several new torpedo boats. Il spent
year and half il the designing room
of the Cramps yard" he continued,
"and happen to know what am talk
ing about. OF course the launching Of
a little torpedo boat is comparatively
easy, and the cost is not over a few
hundred dollars, including flowers and
souvenirs and even the bottle Of cham
payne used in the christening. But
when it comes to a big armored cruiser
or first class battleship it Is a horse
of a different color, and the actual ex-
pense seldom falls below $4,000 or &c.
600. I've known it to go as high as
$4,000.
"The building of the ways for the
ship to slide down over is the main
item, and then comes the greasing.
Every inch of timber over which the
vessel slides must be covered with a lu-
bricant. Different firms use different
substances. but soap and tallow form
the main ingredients of them all At
the Cramps we used a layer Of beef
tallow and q layer of soft soap, and,
taken altogether. between / and ~
tons of the stuff were required to put
move on the average battleship. The
tallow is spread on first to the depth
Of about three fingers. and the work
men use big fat trowels to make the
surface as smooth as possible. Then
they pour over the soft soap, which is
just thick enough to run, or about the
consistency of tar.

ing answers the purpose admirably,

it was sailing on air. If it sticks, as
has happened in a few cases. it is'likely

dents of that kind are SO costly that

A Missionary Antidote,


A great cloud of murky Mersey fog
passengers on the tiny tender could
scarcely see the shape of the great
liner close beside them which was just
weighing anchor for Bombay. On the
quarter deck of the steamship were 80
missionaries of both sexes bound out
ward on mission to convert the heath
en-. They were singing a favorite gos-
pei hymn and as the sound Of their
voices floated across the water one of
the passengers on the tender, manu-
facturer from Birmingham, suddenly
burst into tears.
isn't that noble. an inspiring, al
most a 'arrowing sight?' he exclaimed,
dropping a tear and an at the same
time. 81 wouldn't ave missed seeing
them noble creatures going out to meet
their fate in the field of foreign mis-
sions-not for E5 note, l wouldn't"
Have you any relatives among
them? asked another passenger SYM
pathetically.
ooh, no; no relatives" walled the
man from birmingham. "But we are
all brethren in religion, and the sight
of their departure touched me deeply.
l shall pray night and morning that
their ship may have a safe passa ge."
"But IL you're not related to any Of
them don't quite see why you're so
anxious" said a flippant young man.
Missionaries sail for India almost any
day."
YES" replied the man from Bir-
mingham, assuming a more business
like tone, but it isn't every day in the
week that I've got such an interest in
a ships cargo. I'd be pleased to have
you know. young man, that in the hold
of that ship is a consignment of 5000
idols which l have just shipped to one
of the native princes. "-Exchange.

Alaska is Doing Well.

1t is becoming more and more evil
dent that Alaska was one of the best
investments this country ever made.
The United States paid Russia some
thing over s7,000,O00 for the proper.
ty. The output Of gold alone in the
last few years has been worth over and
over what we paid for the whole land
A captain who has lately come froul
that quarter says that on the northern
shore of Kotzctue Sound to the Arctic
Ocean, distance of 300 miles, ali
enormous bed Of bituminous coal has
been found. The coal is not Of as
high grade as that found in the
eastern part of the United States, but
it is fair for fuel. 1t has been shown
that farming, and even gardening. can
be carried on in Alaska. With mill
lions in gold coming in every year, a
coal bed 300 miles long and various
other sources Of wealth heing reveal
ed, the possibilities in Alaska may
turn out to be almost anything.
It would be a good idea to make a
bid to Russia for the territory on the
other side of the water opposite Alas
ka. Doubtless there is much wealth
there. Americans are the people to find
out things and put the world forward
in progress.

Church Attendance.

The complaint that attendance at
church is declining comes from 80
many quarters and from representa-
tiycs of so many denominations and
organizations that there must be some
thing in it.
DR.. Rainsford, rector Of St. George s
Episcopal Church, one Of the most
conspicuous in New York, has bee IN
trying to explain the decreasing at
tendance upon his own and many 9TH
or churches, that have been consider
ed remarkably successful. He says:
"Multitudes of men-good men and
good citizcns-who used to come to
church regularly now spend Sunday in
outdoor recreation of one sort or an
other. There has been lamentable
increase Of social entertainment on
Sunday, and this among class that
have absolutely no excuse for making
this misuse Of the Lords day, for
they have plenty. of leisure the other
six days Of the week to entertain as
much as they choose. BY using the
seventh day for such purposes they
overwork their servants and they add
to the strain and stress Of life. They
generally neglect their children, if
they have any, and, consciously or un-
consciously, they take away from the
repose and quiet of the day-a repose
and quiet that are more needed by our
sorely beset generation than ever be-
fore.
Undoubtedly there is much in rea-
son in this statement. The churches
are feeling the effect Of the CONNER
cial spirit that absorbs year after year
more and more Of the thought and en-
ergy of the people to the neglect and
sacrifice of other concerns.
Wherever church going is OH the
decline in our centers Of population it
is due to the increased absorption in
business during the week and the
growing habit of seeking diversion and
recreation on Sunday to relieve the
strain endured during the other six
days.
The decrease OF church attendance
is admittedly very marked in the
cities, but we hear nothing of it from
the country regions. There the mass
es Of the people flock 20 their houses
of worship in undiminished num-
bers and unAagging zeal. In fact,
church attendance in rural districts is
said to be generally increasing, instead
of falling Of.
The conservatism Of the rural popu-
lation often stands out in pleasing and
enviable contrast with the progress Of
the cities.

Some Bold Guessing.

AS is usual at this season, we are
being regaled with an abundance and
variety of estimates Of the size cf 6
cotton crop, comparatively little of
which has yet been marketed and a
substantial part Of which is yet to be
picked. Experience has shaken the
faith of the average farmer and the
public generally in guesses OF this
character. 1t has been found that
some cotton prognostioators are, as a
rule, nearer the fact than others, but
even the most reliable of them often
shoot very wide Of the mark. Mr..
Neill, of New Orleans, for instance, in
whose honesty and good judgment we
all have quite as much confidence as
in those of any other prophet in his
line Of business, in his estimate Of the
last crop, given about year ago, was
nearly 700, 900 bales below the mark.
1t is not surprising that even the cot
ton experts, who have the best meaus
of information, are often 80 badly
deceived. There is large element Of
pure guesswork in this matter OF osti-
mating the size of cotton crop that
has just ripened, and under the condi-
tions as they now exist there ever
must be.
1t is simply impossible at this sea-
son of the year to approximate with
any degree Of certainty the total yield
of q crop that is scattered through
many States and over many millions
of acres.
But the game of guessing at fact
that cannot be ascertained for year
to come is popular in spite of its many
uncertainties and the cotton prophets
are now drawing large audiences. Mr..
Neill puts his estimate very much
higher than he did last year and is
now one Of the highest, Instead of one
of the lowest guessors, as he was then.
He puts the crop at 11,25O,O 900
bales, which is rather surprising in
view Of the admitted shortage in
Texas, by far the greatest cotton pro-
ducing State, and reports Of like con-
dition elsewhere.
D1r. Buston, of Liverpool, is more
conservative than NIr. Neill, his fav-
orite figures being 10,75O,OOO.
The estimates of other we'll known
cotton authorities range all the way
from 1O,5O0,000 to 11,5OO,OOO.
The crop of last year was something
over 10, 400, 900 bales, aud this year 5
crop is conceded to be larger, but how
much larger it is only time can tell.
The increased production has been
discounted perhaps too largely in fix
ing the price, which is about cents
below the price of this period last
year. The general belief that H.
600, 900 bale crop has been raised has
had it's effect, and. it can be overcome
only by the later trend of receipts.
