Her Little Bluff.

The teachers Of an east side sewing
school have been much annoyed Of late
by the children making all sorts Of ex.
cuses to get out early. So many and SO
urgent were these requests that the
school became more or less demoralized
in consequence, and the wealthy women
who were its philanthropic and flnan.
cial hackers advised the teachers to rem.
der null and void any moro appeals of
the sort. This the teachers endeavored
to do. The other morning, however, q
little girl, after the preliminary hand
raising, announced that it was impera.
tive that she leave ct quarter of 10
o'clock. "Why can't you stay until
1872" asked the teacher. "It is only 10
minutes later, and it creates disorder for
you to leave before the rest" "Mamma

Surveyors Returned.

The cut. off surveyors after finish
up their survey from the Columbia
to Ellensburg, rested day and

engineer Of the corps, Mr.. Smith,
says after crossing the river they
will begin the line OF survey from

may be considered now as the road
bed, for the cutoff will be built and
built on the last survey, From

water as near as possible of right
temperature.
6.-By growing on the farm the
most milk-producing foods.
by having COWS that will
drop good calves.
S.-By wedding out the poor
COWS.
9.-By keeping the best heifer
calves and raising them on dairy
feeds.

JEALOUSY is the great overmas-

is far worse than the plague, the

business associates, and for your
town? In other words, if you never
say good word for any thing of

it not because you are victim OF

A Sarcastic Hit.

In looking over an old copy
of William Lloyd Garrison's paper,
The Boston Liberator, we find the
following bit of sarcasm that takes
the cake:
In 1884 Hon. John Matlock, a
member of congress from Vermont,
said:
"Mr. Speaker, | hold in my hand
the petition of several thousands
of my constituents on the subject
slavery. If this were'Liberty's hall
1 should present them, but as it is
slavery's hall, l shall not do it,"
Has it always been thus?
Ifso, whose slaves are our con-
gressmen?
Does the dear people who elect
them and re-elect them every two
years own any of them?
Well. hardly, we guess.
Who then does own them, pro-
vided they are SLAVES, a. charged
by Mr.. Matlock in 1884, and .hous-
ands since that time? Think it
out.

ROBERTA.TURNERn EDITOR
TIME FOR ACTION.

The metropolitan press of the
eastern cities and hundreds of coun-
try papers are announcing daily
the fact of the large tide OF immi-
grafton that is now coming or soon
to start to the Pacific coast. Our
neighboring cities and in fact every
city, town and almost every hamlet
in the state are making at least
some effort to attract homeseekers to
their favored locality while many
towns not so large as Ellensburg
are spending hundreds of dollars in
the way of advertising their town
and county, while Ellensburg, one
of the best towns in the state,
and surrounded as it is by one OF
the most fertile valleys to be found
anywhere, is not even spending
penny a year to let the world at
large what we have here or even
what can be done here. True, a
number of our business men have
invested dollar or more in litera-
ture and sent it east, but the city
takes no steps whatever in that
direction.
We are in disorganized state
90 far as action is concerned on any
given question that is of interest to
the town or county, and in order
to get at the manner in a business
like way, we suggest that our peo-
pie, both farmers and townsmen,
get together at an early date and
organize a board OF trade, business
mems club or something of the
kind and appoint few good men
on committees to 60 to work and
do something at once. Let the
club. or whatever it may be called,
organize for business. Sports and
pleasure can be relegated for
season, or at least until the club
has accomplished its purpose. Make
the membership fee, say $1.OO,
with dues at % cents month, and
invite every man in the county who
has the good of the same at heart
to join, and then we can hope to
see the fame of Kittitas county and
Ellensburg spread to the utmost
parts of the earth. Who will take
the lead in this matter and when
shall the start be made?
We suggest that Mayor McCauley
call mass meeting in the near
future to consider this matter, and
when he makes his call, if he does,
and we think he will do so, let every
one that can possibly do so, at
tend, and not shun any duty that
may devolve upon them. Let our
watchword be "Onward BoysH

mine of the Lackawanria company by
means Of the air shaft. AT the bottom
was force Of men to care for the pipes.
These included James Mclaughlin and
Anthony McNulty. At noon, instead OF
going out by means of the cage at the
main shaft, Mclaughlin and McNulty
proceeded to execute deed of daring by
ascending by means of the chain by which
the steam pipes were lowered. They at
tached a plank to the chain and astride
of it began their ascent. unheeding the
warnings Of their companions.
The brother of Mclaughlin and a CONF
panion remained at the bottom, positive
that one or both of the reckless fellows
would be killed. In few minutes body
came crashing down the shaft and
dropped almost at their feet. Bending
over, Mclaughlin looked into the face OF
his brother. The man was already dead.
Half way up the air shaft McLaughlin's
head struck platform and he fell. Nc
Nulty saved himself by holding on to the
chain When he reached the top he was
SO dazed and terrified that 1t was fifteen
minutes before he could be induced to
release his grip on the chain.

& No fair-minded landlord can any
longer advance the old argument that
wretched tenements are inevitable be-
cause the poor prefer filth to cleanli-
ness and that good tenements will not
pay. The City and Suburban Homes
Company Of New York has disposed OF
that insufficient excuse Of the parsimo-
NOUS landlord. This corporation APP
preached the problem with the idea Of
combining business and philanthropy.
1t has built excellent tenements In the
poorest parts Of the city, and rents
at prices as low as those Of the miser-
able novels about them. Its holdings
represent an investment Of two mill
lion dollars, on which it has just de-
clared a dividend of per cent. The
landlord who pretends that good tene-
ments will not pay is usually a man
who wants fifteen per cent.
