will convene at Olympia next Mon
day, and will probably continue in
session for sixty days, although there
is movement to curtail the session,
il it can be done. It would appear,
since for the first time in the history
of the state, there is no senator to
elect, that the business could be done
ia 4 short session, but there are many
matters of importance already in pros
pect, and others springing up for act
ion. The senate is already organized,
except for the selection of its officers

officer, has been considering the COM

ONE of the most important questions
that has yet been raised in the many
suits brought for the reduction of taxes
Is made an issue in suit filed by A.
s. Titlow and John M. Boyle against
Pierce county. They contend that all
suits for the collection of taxes for
1894 and prior years are outlawed and
barred by the statute of limitations.
This is a most important question and
if they should be sustained by the
courts will be far reaching in its effects
as it will at once operate to cancel
thousands of dollars of taxes now de-
liuquent for 1894 and prior years.

AN energetic effort is to be made at
the coming session of the legislature
to secure material reduction in the
tax levy assessed upon logged-off lands
in Western Washington. Investiga-
tons carried on by the national govern
ment have indicated that under proper
care these lands can be made to pro-
duce a second growth of merchantable
timber within period ranging from
twenty-five to fifty years, but it is un-
profitable to hold these properties and
afford fire protection except at NOM
inal rate of taxation, and unless such
protection is afforded the occasional
devastation will prevent reforestation.
Lower taxes are essential, it is also
urged, toEthe clearing up of this prop
erty for agricultural purposes.-W. c..

"Good Counsel
Reduction on Logged-off LandS

At the coming session of the state
legislature lumbermen OF Washington
will have introduced a bill to reduce
the taxes on logged off land, placing
the rate so low that it will be possible
for owners to hold this class of ground
either for second growth or any other
purpose that may be desired. This is
one of the department OF forestry IN
this state during the past two years.
At first lumbermen were not much IN
terested in the measure. bat now they
will work for the passage OF the bill IN
earnest.
Taxes on logged off land are so high
that it Is an impossibllity tor owners
to hold it. As soon as the logs are
taken off, in great many sections,
the land has been abandoned. 1t has
only been a short time until 1T has
been ravaged by fire or other enemy
to the regrowth of the timber and has
soon been put beyond the hope Of re-
| forestation. In some sections of Puget
Sound it has been pointed out by the
department that while it may be half
century there will come time when
the forests of this state will need
replenishing, and as now is the proper
time to begin such work, one Of the
most important things to be done is to
protect the logged-off land. This can
not be done while the rate of taxation
is so high as it is at present and there
fore lumbermen are interested and for
the first time will take hand and give
every assistance to the department of
forestry.
The bill will also have the support
of the department and every means
will be adopted to have it passed. At
the same there is another mission
work that the department has started
among the lumbermen of this state,
and that is to have them use the many
thousand feet of standing hemlock,
now being left to go to waste in all
parts of the timbered area. There are
certain sections wherein this procedure
will shortly be imperative and in the
lower tax measure it is the intention
OF the department to have put through
at the coming session, there will be re-
lief to the hemlock tracts.
While as a general thing those who
are engaged in the timber business in
this state are prone to view the cut
ting off OF all the timber in Washing
ton as matter of impossibility, even
in a century, the department. he's gath
cred statistic On the subject, in connec-
ton with the use OF hemlock, that will
be available. 1t is shown that in
some of the coast sections, and particu-
larly in the Grays Harbor country,
there is no chance for the reforestation
of fir timber lands. For some reason,
the cause of which has not yet been
discovered, the fir once cut off shows
no disposition to come up again. For
this reason it will be much shorter
time than fifty years before there will
be scarcity of fir in that part of the
state. There is on these lands an
abundance Of hemlock timber and it is
of the best class of such wood known
to grow In any part of the United
States Tacoma Ledger.

buoyed herself up with stimulents
and drugs, but their effect was
only momentary and fastened the
final catastrophe. Her admirers
forsook her, one by one, and at
last she found herself alone and
almost penniless, and the final re-
suit was this garrett in Paris. The
Duke de Avalon was dead these
six years or more.
The hours of the night dragged
slowly. The lamp on the table
fickered feebly and threw weird
shadows across the dying woman's
face as she slowly sank into the
coma of death. Suddenly foot
steps are coming up the stairs.
They come nearer-they stop at
her door. Who can it be coming
to see her, she asks herself, for
she knows she has no friends.
The door opens and man enters.
Madeleine turns her head weakly,
wondering who this intruder can
be. He comes forward and the
lamp throws a CLEAN of light
across his face. She starts up,
her eyes staring and her form
trembling with emotion.
"Jean!' she cries. "Youl"
Yes it is Jean, the same Jean
of Chalons sur Mer, changed very
little except for the deep lines on
his face and a slight stoop of the
shoulders. He goes to her, goes
to her very quickly and clasps her
in his strong arms. Madeleine"
he says.
"Can you forgive me?" she asks.
II have always loved you,' replied
Jean. That night Madeleine died
happy.
On a green hillside overlooking
the river Loire, in the midst of the
little cemetery is grave. At its
head a simple white cross bears
this word, Madeleine" Jean
goes there to place a few fresh
flowers on the mound and to gaze
at the western heavens ablaze with
the sunset and dream of the sor-
rowful past. At the foot of the
hill the dark waters of the Loire
flow swiftly onward, ever onward
to the unconquerable sea, and
they sing song as they go, but
whether of gayety or sorrow or OF
the awful mysteries of the deep,
one cannot tell. They simplysing
and murmur as they go forever
and forever. But tho they sing
very sweetly, they can never sing
as this handful of dust once sang
that rests beneath the cross on the
hillside. LEO.

A Famous Newspaper Cor
respondent.

There are few if any newspaper
men in the United States with a
more brilliant record than that
achieved by Mr.. William E. Cur
tbs, the famous Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Record
Herald. Among newspaper men
as we'll as among the careful read
ers Of newspapers, it is generally
conceded that Mr.. Curtis is the
dean of the large colony of trained
journalists at the national capital.
His relations with the eminent
men i'm Washington are so init
mate and so personal, that he has
an immense advantage over the
ordinary correspondent. They
give to him their confidence, know
ing that he will properly discrim-
mate what should be said and
what should not.
The newspaper career of Mr..
Curtis began in Chicago in 1872.
Starting as reporter, he worked
his way upward rapidly to the
position of managing editor, which
he resigned to become the Score
tary Of the South American Com
mission-a government appoint
ment. While in this position, Mr..
Curtis travelled extensively in
Central and South America, pro-
ducing several popular volumes
as the literary result of his labors.
Later on, in cooperation with
Secretary of State, James q.
Blaine, Mr.. Curtis organized the
work of the Bureau of American
Republics, and was placed in
charge of that organization and at
the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
ton, he distinguished himself by
his labors as the executive head of
the Latin-American departments.
AS corresp ndent of the Chicago
Record, Mr.. Curtis travels carried
him not only into all quarters of
the United States, but almost
everywhere abroad. His letters to
the Record from Japan and China
we're published in book form; like
wise his letters from England,
Germany and France, and also
those resulting from his travels in
Mexico and in South America. A
letter from Mr.. Curtis is published
in every issue, of the Chicago Rec
iord- Herald daily and Sunday.
