The Charm Of Home.

Among the familiar faces of those
who have aided our community so
much in the past, and who have re-
turned to re-cast their lot with us, are
Frank Williamson and X. G. O'Brien,
both Of whom have left their imprint
upon events that have conspired to
keep Olympia headed for the goal
which she now is So sure Of attaining.
The struggle few years ago, was not
so much to progress, as to keep in
the line of Advancement, with power
ful rival. engaged in wrestling from us
the modest prestige that had been at
tanned by steady determination and
sterling merit. There was time
when, to keep step with the march OF
progress, required courage, but they
and the class they represent did not
falter, and the result of their labors
has been to enable others who took I'D
the burden to fight an aggressive bat
tie for fair-dealing and justice to a sat
isfactory finish.
The wharf to deep water was not a
success in dollars and cents, but it
kept Olympia from being distanced in
the race then on; the Olympia-Tenino
railroad put no money in the pockets
of its projectors but it kept the capital
from being sidetracked and the seat OF
government from being moved some
where else; the Hotel Olympia was
practically gift to the community by
its stockholders, in the benefits derived
at time when it was touch.and go'
with the Federal, and some of the
State offices, unless better accommoda.
tions than then existed could be pro-
vided. Still farther back, the West
side wharf literally tided over Difficult.
ties which threatened to swamp us as
a community, and the Long Bridge,
necessary adjunct, was sung and
danced into being by "The Merry
Bachelors" and "St. Johns Choral So.
ciety."
The work OF these two gentlemen
and their co-laborers in local affairs,
eliminated in conditions which en-.
abled others, at the proper time, to
bring to bear influences that saved US
the capital, and has started us forward
on a plane that inspires confidence
and ensures harmony and unity of
purpose.
Too prone are people to overlook or
ignore the merits of their fellow man
too apt to refuse credit marks when
palpably due. This can only be at
tributed to that innate trait OF selfish.
ness which impels poor human nature
to look within, instead Of without, for
commendable motive, and it is to bur.
nish the chain OF friendship that has
impelled these prodigals to return,
that We invite for moment consider.

which have aided our community 50

Unruly Elements-Fire and Water

Wind and flame seem TO have been
the destroying elements that have
swept over the middle west and far
west the past week.
Mercur, the great cyanide gold camp,
and the second largest mining town in
Utah, was practically wiped out OF ex-
istence by fire Wednesday. Forty or
fifty stores were burned. The origin
OF the fire is a mystery. AT least ! 900
people we're made homeless. The loss is
estimated at nearly a million dollars
Mercur is the western terminus of the
Salt Lake and Mercur Railroad and is
So miles southwest OF Salt Lake City.
The same day, Wednesday, the en-.
tire north central portion of Indiana
was visited by one of the most disas.
trous storms that ever swept over the
State. Hundreds of buildings were
RACED. thousands OF trees uprooted,
and many crops utterly ruined. The
property loss is estimated at $1,000
600; so persons were injured and sew
eral killed.
Marietta, Ohio, was swept by the
same gale which damaged property to
the value OF 100000. Many build
ings we're destroyed and at least 20
persons were injured.
In South Dakota, it is reported that
practically every building in the vii
lage of Viborg was damaged by wind
storm Tuesday night, and many crops
were destroyed. The loss throughout
the State is estimated at half a million
dollars.
A severe storm of snow and hail
swept over northwest Michigan,
Wednesday. The temperature at
Kalamazoo fell to 90. Cherry crops
were destroyed.
In Colorado, forest fires have been
getting in their deadly work. Timber
to the value of million dollars is said
to have been consumed in the noun.
tains west of Durango. A tract four
miles square has been burned over in
Ouray county. and the flames are still
raging. Nothing but heavy rains will
give relief.
In our own State the loss from forest
fires the past week has been unparal.
leled. Standing timber OF commercial
value to the amount of $50, OOO, 900 feet
has been burned along the line OF the
Northern Pacific. This timber com.
prised splendid forest of fir, clear of
limb for hundred feet, and all readily
accessible because it grew within few
miles OF the railroad. A few days ago
these giants OF the Washington woods
reared themselves in an almost un.
broken mass covering sixty.three
square miles OF territory; to-day all
that remains OF them are the smolder-
ing. blackened trunks, 90 huge that
they still defy the rapacity OF the
flames. The value OF the timber de-
stroyed is placed at 81. 100000.
A graphic story is told by passengers
on one Of the Northern Pacific trains
OF passing through seven miles OF burn
ing forest, with the windows cracking
and the paint peeling off the cars by
the intense heat. Mills and camps in
Snohomish county suffered severely
from the FIRE.
Forest fires arc likewise raging along
the British Columbia coast.

A Pop.0un for Ankeny.

The Republican convention in Walla
Walla county, last Saturday, unquali-
fiedly and Internationally endorsed
the candidacy of Levi Ankeny, who is
still pursuing the "Will o the Wisp,"
for seat in the U. 5. Senate. A. F.
KEGS OF Walla Walla, and +. II. Den
ton Of Waitsburg were nominated for
Representatives from the Thirteenth
and John b. Wilson from the Four
teenth Districts, to carry out this bid
ding. \ full Ankeny delega' lou was
selected to attend tie State Conven-
ton. Croker who was lately APP.
pointed to an Office, in n district spe-
cially created for him, presided
Wouldn't this in times agone have
been considered "offensive partisan
ship? Doubtless; but in these days
OF " strenuo.ity" everything goes.
BY the way, isn't it about time for
Mr.. Ankcny to cast aside that tiresome
attempt to foist himself into the U. S.
Senate? The subject has become
thrcadbare. His only merit, hitherto
shown, has been his bar'l, and it has
been a byword and jest at every
Senatorial session of the lawmakers for
10, these many years. One of Mr.. AS
bottle-holders few years ago, capped
the climax OF audacity by running
away with the "Ankeny SACK" and
the loser did not find the least sym.
pathy from anybody.
But, then, Mr.. A. doubtless thinks
that money has seated many others in
the American House of Lords, and
why may it not do that service for
him?
True, but it has very generally been
noted that there are brains and execu.
tive ability back of the dollars. Such
campaigns are generally directed in
person, and never entrusted to a lot of
fuglemen who are only interested in
the "pot." The employment of George
Stevenson, the professional lobbyist,
as manager of the Ankeny campaign,
shows the degree Of discretion that the
Walla Walla banker brings to bear in
fiouting his political ambition. This
is about in keeping with his protfer to
bring the Filipino regiment of WASH
ington Guards from San Francisco, on
their return home, in which he i'm
posed conditions which turned the
compliment into command and very
few consented to become actors in q
little drama that was intended to
elicit plaudits for considerably lib.
eral patriot, Ankeny.

England's Tribulation.


No more complete exempliication
OF the vanity of earthly aspirations.
and the utter insignificance Of earthly
honors, could have been afforded than
the sudden stop that was put hy illness
to the coronation ceremonies of King
Edward, pageant probably I'M
equaled in the Earth's history. The
great nations OF the world had as
sembled To do honor to the monarch
of the leading nation. A programme
OF unequalcd splendor, extending over
many days, had been prepared, and
the waiting people had just passed
upon the threshold OF this scene oil
grandeur when that great king, with a
scythe for scepter, stepped in and
assumed sway. At his forbidding
presence, the great and mighty
judged by worldly measure, shrank
away, and the heart OF Joy was turned
to one OF inefiable sadness. Every
thought Of festivity was banished, and
he work began OF removing the EN-.
blems of JOY whose presence were a
mockery to the universal feeling Of
woe.
Saturday it was thought that the
King, although suffering from the
dread affection, would be able to &c
through with the exacting ceremonies
but on Monday evening it became
manifest that an operation would have
to be performed. 1t was done Tues
day. His Majesty was not regarded as
a safe subject for the knife, but the
demand was memorable. An an.
nouncement was made that the coro
nation had been postponed indefi
nitely, while the hours and days oil
anxious waiting began, to determine
the result. The frat bulletins afforded
little hope, but yesterday the improve
ment in his condition was quite
marked, and it is hoped he will sur.
vive, and that even the temporary re-
gency of the Prince of Wales, that had
been suggested, will be unnecessary.
IT is said that q cast of the features
OF Secretary Root, of the War De.
partment, would be an excellent device
on andirons to keep children out the
fire. He is said to be so austere as to
cause the heart of every visitor to sink
when ushered into his presence. He
never smiles, nor is there any CLEAN
of friendly consideration bestowed
upon visitors. Nobody ever calls upon
him a second time, unless impelled by
the most urgent business necessity
and then the interview is brief as pos
sible. He is immovable as sphinx
SO far as betrayal Of any emotion BY
facial expression is concerned. A Fl,

standard of EYE for eye," but the las

A Loud Protest.

Representative Loud, OF California,
has the courage OF his convictions to
attack the systematic plans OF govern.
ment employees to work good thing
into a " soft snap" and devoted his at.
tentiOn ON the 18th TO the persistent
demand of the letter-carriers for an in.
crease of pay that is ample and more
than the majority of them could OBJ.
tain outside the range of the pie-coun-
ter. He said he believed that the
Government should pay liberal salar.
ies-as high as private corporations
but no higher. Employment in the
Government service, he maintained
had advantage over private employ
ment. A Government employee had
liberal leaves of absence. His employ.
ment was continuous whether times
were good or bad. While there was,
he said, a steady agitation for the
increase of the pay of postal clerks,
railway mail clerks and letter-carriers
the particular agitation was for the
increase of the pay Of the latter class
from an average of 1913 to $1,000 a
year. He declared that, all the cir.
cumstances considered, the pay Of the
letter.carriers was the highest for the
service performed of that in any
branch of the Government service.
He undertook to show, comparatively
speaking, that if the letter.carriera
should receive $1,000 the railway mail
clerks, whose salaries averaged $1,000,
should get 81 600.

FINANCIAL.
THEODORE II. PRICE
Oh COTTON.

The weekly statistical statement Of the
cotton movement made up this after
noon by the New Orleans Cotton Ex
change, discloses the following facts
Amount of cotton coming into sigh. OF
the week is 459,4s5 against 41.9o: the
same week last year, a deficiency OF
12,497 bales.
The amount of cotton brought into
sight thus far for the season is 2, 800, O34
against 1,ia3,276 last year, an excess of
5i9.1oS bales.
This excess is entirely due to the
heavy September movement the in sight
movement during October being 7.7o6 bales
less than last year. The visible supply
of American cotton tonight is 1855, 41s
bales against 1,700.9H at the same time
last year. Tho visible supply OF Amer1-
can on September list was $4,000 bales
against 925 eco at the corresponding time
in 1901.
1t is evident, therefore, that the world
has taken out of sight 24o. 600 bales more
during the fortv-seven days of the pres
ent season to date. than during the cor
responding time last year. representing
an increased absorption this year as
compared With last. of 5000 bales per
week, or at the rate of 1875, coo bales per
year.
OF the a bove visible supply there is in
American this afternoon only $4,000 bales
against 93S.CO0 bales last year.
The visible supply in America on Sep
TENDER 1st, 1902 was 10000 bales against
$4,000 bales on the corresponding date
last year
1t is evident. therefore. that there has
been taken out of America during the
forty-seven days Of the current season
to date, 4CSOOO bales more than was
taken out during the same period last
year.
These figures indicate a consumption
beyond all previous records. Ny advices
are that receipts have now reached
their maximum. Only in two years out
of the past ten has the movement failed
to reach its maximum by the third week
of October.
Thereafter it has declined. In the two
years in question, namely. 1897 and 1893
the September movement was relative
" small and the crop was late.
All advices agree that this crop Is an
early one.
If after next week the movement ccH-
mences to show any substantial diminu-
tion those who have hitherto doubted
the correctness of small crop estimates
yin he speedily converted and prices will
rapidly advance.
