Anaconda, Aug. 23.-City Treasurer

vorable comments from the employees of
the shelters during the last few days
for the stand he has taken in regard to
the collection Of poll taxes in the city.

The smeltermen bekeve, as does the
city treasurer, that Ut is unfaif to them
that they should be the only ones COM
PEELED to put up this tax while others
just as eligible as they have not been
required to do SO.
Several of the aldermen nave. dis
cussed the matter since the point was
raised by the treasurer and seem ready
to concur in the recommendation Of the
treasurer to be submitted to the coun-
Gil at its next meeting for the appoint
ment of deputy whose duty it will be
to see that everybody fares alike in the
matter of paying poll tax.

Whereas, In all civilized countries thu

creastng class Of wage workers, pos
sessing no tools Of production: and
Whereas, This economic supremac!
has secured to the dominant class full
control of the government, the publi
press. and is fast reducing the work
ing class to a condition of dependence
making their boosted political equalit!
a bitter mockery; and
Whereas. The Introduction OF a new
and higher order of society Is the mis-

Choose a New State Flower.

Let's have a new state flower,
says the Spokane Chronicle
Next month Spokane is to have
a great floral display at the inter
state fair-one that should be the
greatest ever seen between the Cas-
cades and the Rockies. The air
should be heavy with the perfume
of thousands of blosSoms-roses
carnations, sweet peas, geraniums,
and others that delight the hearts
of the good ladies of Spokane. AS
ters by the hundred-pansies in
profusion-petunias adding their
fragrance to the atmosphere-but
whore will be the state flower?
Eight or nine years ago by some
unnecessary blunder state flower
was selected for Washington. Since
that date some of Spokane's people
have actually seen living speci-
mems of that fower-still others
have vague idea of it's appear
ance--some even know how to
spell the long and awkward name
-rhedodendron. But it is not pop
ular-it means little or nothing.
1t is a blunder, a misfit Let us
get rid of it.
Ladies Of the Floral Association,
will you not take the lead in choos-
ing a new state flower that will
have some meaning for the people
of Washington-that will at least
IN some measure represent the
state?

No Interference.

Governor Rogers has written the
following to the Seattle Times in
regard to the case of G.. w. Nord-
strom, a murderer, who, for nine
years, has been kept from the gal
lows by the brilliancy of James
Hamilton Lewis;
A recent editorial item in your
paper regarding the Nordstrom case
causes me TO say that under no
circumstances will | interfere with
the judgment of the courts in this
vase As | view it crisis has
arisen In state affairs in which the
question is raised whether murder
is to be punished in Washington or
whether the law is to be made an
Instrument ofjugglery for courts
and lawyers.
In England or Canada, whatever
we may think of their forms of
government, criminal law is en-
creed and lynching is practically
Unknown.
In Whitman county ofthis state,
according to Judge Mcdonald of
hat county, some thirty murders
nd lynchings, altogether, have
aiken place with only one legal
angling, this latter within the last
hree years.
Other counties have made rec.
rds not particularly flattering to
ur ideas of justice,
Only recently the legislature was

Wheat and Prosperity

The reports of enormous wheat
lids, which have been coming in
m all parts of the Inland En-

man county comes reports OF neius
averaging 30, 40 and even 90 bush
els to the acre, ard many people
have estimated the wheat crop
from that one county alone at 10,
100000 bushels. And similar ac-
counts come from the other coun.
ties of the Inland Empire Lincoln,
/ Douglas, Garfield, Asotin, Colum-
bia, Walla Walla, Adams and in
fact every county where wheat is
extensively grown report tremend-
Gus yields.
Even eliminating the sensation.
alism from these reports, it is a
practical certainty, due to the
greatly increased acreage and to a
( yield per acre which is undoubtedly
above the average even for this
state, which ranks above all others
in the yield per acre, that Wash
ington will harvest the largest
wheat crop in its history. Conser-
vative estimates place the crop for
1901 at from "A, 100000 to 26,O00,-
000 With shortage in the corn
crop III this country, with almost
total crop failures in parts of
southern Russia, poor crops in
France and Germany, it certainly
looks as if the wheat growers on
this hemisphere, and especially of
the Inland Empire, should roll up
good bank accounts before the sell
ing season is over. Forty cents
will undoubtedly be easily realized
In this section, which means money
to the Washington farmer and
wealth and prosperity to the whole
state and the Pacific Northwest.
What more can the homeseeker
ask? What better opportunity has
ever been afforded for the immi-
grafton agents of the Inland En-
pire to proclaim to the world the
fertility of the Inland Empire and
the prosperity which this section is
enjoying. The story of the bumper
crop of this year, of the large crops
OF every previous year, for there
have never been crop failures in the
Inland Empire, should be known
to every prospective homeseeker
lin the region of parched corn, in
sections where crops are flooded,
and Id all states where the grass
hoppers eat the farmer out Of house
and home" Railroad officials pre-
dict that the immigration of home
seekers to the Pacific Northwest
thls fall and next spring will easily
surpass all previous records in the
history of the country. There is
more railroad construction work
going on and in contemplation in
this section at present than ever
before; building operations are ac-
tive, general merchandise business
is better than ever before at this
ieason of the year, and with a
bumper crop and good prices we be-
lieve that Spokane and the Inland
Empire is entering upon year of
prosperity and growth such as they
have never experienced in the past

The Absence Of II.

If there is any truth in the saying
that happiness is the absence Of all
pain. mental and physical, the enjoy
ment Of 1t can only be found in heaven.
But so far as the physical is concerned,
1t is within easy reach; at least, meag.
urably so. as far as cure will go. The
sum of human misery in this line is
made up of greater or less degrees Of
physical suffering. The minor aches
and pains which afflict mankind are
easy to reach and as easily cured
There are none in the whole category,
which, II taken in.time, cannot be cured.
They must in some form afflict the
nerves, the bones, the muscles and

more or less hurtful and wasteful to the
system. st. Jacobs Oil is made to cure
them, to search out the hidden pain

many have not known happiness for
years until they used it. and very many
are putting off cure and happiness be-
cause they don't use it.

No More Buttons.

A clergyman's wife was mending
clothes for her boys, when one Of her
lady neighbors called in to have a
friendly chat. 1t was not long before
the visitors eye was attracted by 4
large basket. more than half filed with
buttons. Thereupon, the latter began
to turn them over, and suddenly ex-
claimed:
Here are two buttons exactly the
same as those my husband had on his
last winters suit. should know them
anywhere"
Indeed" said the clergyman's wife,
quietly. II am surprised to hear it.
AS all these buttons We're found in the
collection bag, thought 1 might as
we'll put them to some use."
Before she had finished speaking, the
visitor hastily arose and said she must
be going.
The story soon got about, and since
then no buttons have been found in
the collection bag.-Tit Bits.
