PUGET SOUND is THE FUTURE
WORLD CENTRE.

But great as is the local development
in all parts of the State of Washington,
ii sinks into insignificance compared with
the prospective transcontinental and
oceanic business already heading for
Puget Sound says w. ID. Lyman in the
April Atlantic. Consult again the map,
and note the position that this body OF
water occupies with respect to the world.
1t sounds eXtraVagant now, but sober
and cool-headed business men, familiar
with the facts, believe that Washington
holds the key to the future commerce
of the world She stands at the cross
roads of nations, at the confluence Of
the commodities of the four quarters OF
the globe She Is the successor on
Phoenicia, Carthage, Italy, and England,
as the natural exchange point of all
lands. Europe and the United states
are at her back, Alaska and British Co
lumbia at her left, and the orient, with
half the population of the world in
front Formerly California was sup
posed to be the natural centre of our
western frontage. We cannot disCredit
the magnificent location and resources
of that State but it is true that Wash
ington is gaining on California by leaps
and bounds. This is due to three causes:
first, Washington has five transconti-
mental railways in reach, California is
under the despOtism of one; second, the
vast developments of Alaska and Brit
ish Columbia have made Puget Sound
the hub of Pacific coast trade; third,
and most important, the route to the
Orient is materially shorter by Puget
Sound than by the Golden Gate.

Maine Soaked" the Corporations.
From the Springfield Republican,

ltrom the Springfield Republican,
The Maine Legislature has gone home
leaving behind eight enactments amend
ing the tax laws so as to provide addi-
tional revenue. AS the laws were sug-
gested by the state grange, it is need
less to say that they hit the big cor
poratiOns especially. 1t is estimated
that the steam railroads will have Sl2U,
Oo0 added TO their yearly tax bills under
the new legislation. The telegraph and
telephone companies are also affected
as well as the express companies, and an
excise tax of 4 per cent has been put
upon the Maine business of the sleeping
car companies. The collateral inheri-
lance tax has been increased, and
franchise tax placed upon corporations
organized under the Maine laws, graded
according to the amount of capital stock
issued-a Maine concern having capt.
tai stock of from $5OOOOO to 100000 be-
ing required to pay so a year into the
state treasury, and SIS additional for
each $l,uOO.OyO in excess OF a million Of
stock. This rs a light imposition, but
Jersey competition in the business of in
cooperating anything that comes along,
on any sort of terms, is pretty sharp
just now, and Maine cannot afford to
he too eNaCting.

vince the young folk who are pre-
pairing to present the old play OF

that Is is not an unlucky number.
From the start their rehearsals have
been seriously interrupted from one
cause or another. and three times
by deaths in the families of members
of the cast.
First Patrick l.. Shea was forced to
absent himself from rehearsals by the
sudden death of his brother in Brat

Elizabeth Carr, who was to play
leading part, lost her mother, the lat
ter dying without "a moments warn
ing. Miss Carr withdrew from the
cast. Last week the father of
George Leonard, the comedian of the
play, died in Baltimore.
At the next rehearsal the discour-
aged amateurs were discussing their
plight when the discovery was made
that their cast originally numbered
Is. To this number the i'll fortune
was Immediately attributed and a
small part was at once written for
another character. There are nov
