STATE CAPITAL NEWS.

Olympia, Feb. 28.-J. P. Callison, the
state librarian, has handed in his resig.
nation in response to the request of Gov.
Mcbride. Mr.. Callison was appointed
from Chehalis by Gov. Rogers.
Olympia, March 1.-The state board
of land commissioners has withdrawn
from sale all the capitol lands in Eastern
Washington, and hereafter will only
lease them. The greater part of the
lands, and especially those most in de-
mand, are located in Douglas county.
The lands are all of semi-arid class,
chiefly valuable for grazing purposes.
Irrigation would make them much more
valuable, and it is for this reason that
the lands will not be sold at their pres.
ent nominal value. They can be leased
at an annual rental of from 10 to Is
cents an acre, and even at that figure
the money received last week from that
source amounted to over 81 900.
There are lands in Western Washing
ton the future valution of which does
not justify their holding, whose sale will
amply pay for the construction of the
capitol now being built.
Gov. Mcbride has appointed Joseph A.
Gabel, of Chehalis, state librarian, to
succeed l. p. Callison, resigned. Gabel's
term begins April l.

i've picture.
A series of weights and ropes had been
attached leading to stand directly un-
der the cutwater of the yacht. so that by
the cutting of one line the vessel would
be liberated for its first plunge into the
water.
A drizzling rain was falling when the
ferry reached the island, but despite the
unfavorable weather condition, 5000
guests, including many notables, were
on the wharf to give noisy greeting to
the prince and the president.
The launching.
When the launching party had taken
positions, the signal was given and at
80 O'Clock Miss Roosevelt, with a
silver mounted Ratchet, struck the rope
holding the craft.
The rope parted Clearly and the yacht
slid slowly down into the water. Miss
Roosevelt broke bottle of champagne
over the bow, and said in English: ain

christen thee Meteor"
The prince and the president stood
with barred heads as the vessel glided
down the ways. The crowd cheered and
many persons threw hats in the air.
After the launching the president and
princes party made brief visit to the
banquet room in the moulding shed of
the shipbuilding works, after which it
left the island. The guests did not par
take of luncheon.
| The prince escorted Miss Roosevelt to
the ferryboat. She carried large boquet
of roses, presented by his highness.

his home. The package was so big and
Bones so little that the animal had to
hold his head high in the air to keep
the package clear Of the ground.
The thief was followed TO within
half block of his home, when the pack

on a few steps before he realized, by
the lightness of his burden, that some
thing was wrong. He looked back and
