Life Saying auox.

A novel and extremely simple life
saving device has been invented by
NJ George Broussel- 1t is a sort of
automatic folding buoy, and is
formed merely of two boards of wood,
which are Joined together in the CEN

used as seat on board a vessel. and
when there is danger of shipwreck it
can be instantaDeously turned into
life-saving buoy Many experiments
have already been made with it and
they show that it can do effective work
as well in a storm as in a calr sea.

The Opportunity Of Your Life.

Since the last issue of the STANDARD
the Washington California Oil Co. have
disposed of their entire block of stock
(25, 900 shares) at ten cents. Another

shares is before, not after oil has been
struck. One we'll will send the shares
to par-$l.OO. Ten wells will make
the stock worth $1,000 per share. 1t
is the intention of the promoters to
put down thirty wells before Offering
the property for sale. The President
and Secretary of the company will
leave for California next week 10 be-
gin the work OF Development. This
company's land, 44O acres, is sur
rounded with oil-producing wells, and
recent reports confirm the statement
that the Wasbington-C California oil
company's lands are in the center OF
the oil belt, and is the very cream of
the district. One year ago the Home
Oil Company of California was selling
its stock for II cents per share-to.
day the same stock cannot be bought
for one cent less than $1,000 per
share. The Washington-C California oil
don't promise any such fabulous re-
suits as this, and yet we have far bet

Capitol Changes.

1t has been suggested that the Do
Ian property, corner OF Washington
and Fourth streets, be secured by the
county for a new courthouse site,
and being contiguous to Columbia
hall, owned by the city, that the two
municipalities unite in remodeling or
construction of building that may
serve the purposes of courthouse and
city-hall. 1t is said that the corner
may be bought of Mr.. Dolan at very
low figure, and the location would be
an ideal one for convenience Of the
public. As it would probably be i'm.
possible to build, or make the neces.
sary alterations in time to vacate the
courthouse when the State expects
possession, some temporary provision
will have to be made for office-room
for the county service. Mrs. Nc
Kenny, anticipating this, submits a
proposition to rent the two middle
floors of her building, now occupied
by part of the State offices, for that
purpose, including water, heat and
elevator service, for $500 per month
or, for term of two years, the county
assuming all cost of operation OF the
elevator, heating the whole building
and other expenses that may appertain
to such occupancy the two middle
stories may be rented for $3.50 pei
month. This seems to us reasonable
offer, of the only eligible quarters with
vantage.
The County Com missioners have all
these matters Under consideration and
are making progress rapidly as posi-
BILE considering their magnitude. The
first steps towards transfer OF the
court house will be taken at q meeting
to be held on the 18th OF April, for the
/ purpose of considering protests, if any
there be, against that action.
1t is expected that the Stale offices
will be installed in the new capitol by
the lat of July, although further time
will be required for erection OF the leg
islative annex.

Withdrawn after performing a cut by
a weighted rope passing over pully.
1t seems that while cutting a piece OF
timber the rope broke allowing the re.
volving saw to strike the operator on
the left thigh, making a fearful slash
nearly foot long, reaching to the
bone. The muscles of the leg were
severed. The injured man was at
once taken to the hospital where he
received surgical aid, and it is thought
will recover. He has family living

in nor did the fire department respond
TO the blaze for any other purpose than
to keep a watchful eye on adjoining
property. According to the Oldest in

the public destruction OF property in
any way concerned in the carrying on
of an Illicit business, in this city, and

The STANDARD acknowledges q
pleasant, cell from Mr.. Edwin n.
Fuller, Of Tacoma, Secretary of the
State Historical Society, Tuesday, who
was up to enlist the aid of our Solons
in the good work of collecting and
preserving the facts connected with
settlement and development OF our
State. The duty has fallen upon a
man eminently qualified by education
and inclination to secure the best re-
suits in the important work. A bill
appropriating $1,000 will doubtless
pass the legislature, which will afford
substantial aid to the meritorious
object. Mr.. Fuller is an old-time
newspaper man and one OF the best
editorial writer's on the Coast.
Pat Dolan offers to sell to the
county his lot, the site OF the Parlor
saloon, and part of that adjacent on
which Columbia hall stands, for 3d.
600 and remission of accumulated
taxes on the premises, for new court
house site. This is in line with the
suggestion that the city and county
unite in construction of n building
that while atiording adequate accom-
modatiOns for the officers and safety
| for the records, shall not cost either
municipality more than it can afford.
1t would be far better for all con-
cerned to consider well each step
taken, to avoid the blunders of the
past. In the meantime, the protfer OF
Mrs. McKenny for rental of splendid
accommodation in the present State
building, affords an excellent oppor-
tunity for all the delay necessary to
ensure careful action.
Herbert Bashford will soon be super
seeded by J. P. Callison, Secretary of

Bashford his belief in rotation of Of
fee, but it is noted that he resorted to
every device to see that the doctrine
did not apply to his own official
tenure. Does anybody expect any
thing better. however, from Rogers?
And isn't Mr.. Bashford the victim of
misplaced confidence when he sub
scribed months salary for corrup-
ton fund to advance his chiefs inter-
ests in the State Convention, to say
nothing of his contribution to the
campaign fund after Rogers nomina-
ton? Mr.. Bashford has experienced

Stevens attempted to brain Graves
