In 1887 the domestic exports of Ore.
gon aggregated in value, 1857 PSI,
and of Puget Sound, $1,769.269. In
1902, the total from Oregon had fallen
to $15S,570. and from Puget Sound
had Increased to $50. 564.27S. The du.
table imports of the respective dis
tricts show . similar decrease and ex.
pausion. Oregon, in 1887, reported
1921. 18S in value, and Puget Sound
$62,O57. Last year the respective fig.
ures stood: for Oregon, "A, 1900, and for
this district $2,432,S62. For the same
period. the foreign imports of this dis
trict increased from 81 ,22O to $224.543,
and the free imports from $685., 761 to
S., 5T 1897, and tho amount reported
by the Oregon district under either
classification was merely nominal.
These figures show, in unmistakable
manner, the relative business activity
OF the two States.

AS the House in the last days OF the
session withdrew its amendment to the
bill reducing the appropriation for the
Portland Fair to $4,000, and the bill
stood at passage with original amount,
10000. This is one Of the bills on
which the executive does not look with
favor from necessity Of pruning the
large aggregate Of appropriations.

The Work Of Our Legislators.

The Ihurston county delegation did
pretty well for their constituents, de-
spite the control OF the Legislature by
corporation influence. 1t is probable
that that fact aided them, somewhat,
in securing 81 500 rebate of taxes
enormously paid by the county Qe-
fused to other counties which had an
equal show of JUSTICE re-appropria-
ton of $4,000, unused balance, and
$4,000 interest on the capitol warrant
Indebtedness, as well as SOL 900 for
finishing and furnishing the capitol
annex. Senator Ruth likewise secured
a reconsideration by which the Capitol
Commission, appointed by the Cover
nor, was rejected by the Senate, and
the Olympian is authority for a belief
that another board would not have
been appointed by the Governor had
this not been done. Ii so, capitol con-
struction would OF course have come
to stop.
What authority our generally very
veracious neighbor had for this asser-
ton, does not appear, but in view OF
the fact that the executive did not
hesitate to appoint Blethan Regent OF
the University, after adjournment, it
is hardly fair to assume that the same
revolutionary proceeding would not
have been adopted rather than to as
sumo the responsibility for creating
chaos in that service, which would
two years from now again place our
lawmakers in pig-stye. But then,
as Oily is not "next" to the Executive,
it is very probable that he is not safe
prognosticator of events that did not
happen.
Mr.. Kings service is marked more
by what he attempted to do rather
than what he actually accomplished.
He came out, however, triumphantly
waving in the air the bill for paying a
bounty on cayote scalps! 1t is claimed
that he has likewise secured authority
for County Treasurers to adopt official
seals, the importance of which is dis
cernable at glance. Mr.. Hopp de-
voted much of his time to the subject
of revenue and taxation, in which a
feint was made of forcing corporations
to pay a more equitable portion of
their share of cash to sustain the pub.
lie service. The great trouble with
Mr.. Hops work is, however, that
most of it died bornin'. 1t may be,
however, as Oily says, that the latter
gentleman. "by reason OF his legal
learning, perspicuity of thought and
indefatigible industry, exercised no
small influence in shaping the legisla-
ton of the session." The difficulty in
awarding praise, however, is in deter
mining just where he left his dent.

If, as the Oynspian says in referring
to Benson, the murderer, that ait is

it only emphasizes someti mes" the
uncertainty of justice, and affords
some degree Of justification OF Judge
Lynch. The death Of poor Dave Nor.
rell shows that the bar of lead used
was, in itself, deadly weapon. having
beat out the vital spark before his own
revolver was turned upon him. A pris.
oner who deliberately plans Jail de-

templates following the act up TO its

not, cuts no figure in the case, 90 far

A GRAVE CoNDTIoN.-1t is not
alone the threatened strike that op-
presses the people of Spokane. 1t is
now the dudes and dudines that ar
having a cramp in the stomach. 1t
1t seems that an undertaken lately
sold several marble slabs to the local
confectioners. They had been used
several years for resting places for
"stiffs" brought in, for Identification
or the embalming process, and the
local papers say that such was the
porsity of that kind OF stone that it
had been saturated with the preserva-
tive fluid to the depth Of several
inches, before sold to the CONNECTION
ers. The "coloring" process. in this
instance, is not like that OF the meer-
schaum pipe, desirable; but quite the
contrary, for they affirm that it has for
the candy-syrup when poured upon the
cold marble all the whnderful draw
ing powers Of "squid" for anything
of an absorbable nature. The people
have been eating candy off these sarco-
phagan slabs for months past. and
their lachrymal lamentations resulting
therefrom have had the effect of BAN
ishing all kinds of home made confec.
tions, as we'll as to relegate the marble
to a more suitable purpose of marking
the resting-place OF the dead, instead
of producing disquietude for the liv-
ing. The peace of neighboring cities
has been by no means assured, however,
by the probability that the stock on
hand having become unstable at
home, has been subject to export duty.

Appalling Disaster in Low Archi-

have their support uprooted and borne
away by the dashing waves.

corpses strewn everywhere upon the
barren reef. Out upon the water the
sharks were seen to deyour many bod.

for want of water, as that Obtainable

corpses floating in it. Mr.. Gilbert, an

AMENDMENT OF THE GAME OF "SEv-
EN.UP."-The amendment introduced
By the Representative from Potawato-
ME county, in the Oklahoma Legisla-
ture, few days ago, will not possess
the interest for our local knights of
the Green Cloth, Is it would before
the passage of the gambling act. It
is given, however, to show how the
game should be played, if no restraint
had been imposed. The title OF the
bill ia ITO amend section 3, article l, of
tho old-fashioned game of seven-up,
and other purposes" II reads, 10
part: "That article /, section 8, of
the old-fashioned game of seven-up
be and the same is hereby amended to
read as follows: Section 8, that here
after when, in the course of said game,
one party begs, and the giving of one
would put the party 90 begging cut,
the other party may give him one, and
the one 90 given shall not operate to
put the beggar out, If the giver himself
goes out on the hand on which one
was 90 given, but the one 90 given
shall have the effect to win the game
should the giver himself fail on the
said hand to 60 out" The bill came
from the committee on Games and
Gambling with . favorable report and
recommendation for its passage.

An Excellent Appointment.

The Governor could not have made
a better selection for the Democratic
member Of the Board OF Control than
II. T. Jones, OF Spokane. MIR. Jones
has been a prominent figure in poll.
tics, and from 1893 to 1895 was n
Commissioner of Spokane county.
This was during the extreme hard
times, and it is said that the handsome
courthouse OF Spokane was built
through his exertions largely to give
employment to deserving labor.
In the campaign of 1896 he was
Chairman of the State Democratic
Committee, and it was largely owing
to his wise counsels and able manage.
ment that the party rolled up a ma
jority OF about $1,000 in the State
that year. Mr.. Jones thought that he
had earned recognition for his SER
vices at that time and made the very
modest application for the post OF
Warden at the State Pententiary. He
was, as politicians express it, turned
down." by Gov. Rogers, who he did 90
much to elect, and the appointment
went to Cation.
Mr.. Jones, the next year joined the
rush to Klondike, but the venture in.
stead OF bringing him wealth, or a
competency, resulted in financial ruin,
and lately he has been employed as
a bailiff in Judge Belts court at Spo-
kane.
1t was in some degree to compen.
safe for the injustice done him by Gov.
Rogers that Senator Tolman asked his
appointment at the hands of Gov. Nc.
Bride and it was doubtless owing to
Mr.. Tolman's earnest support OF the
Governors project of a railroad COM
mission that impelled him to listen to
the Senator's appeal for man possess
ing much sterling worth, and of COM
manding ability in business affairs.
The appointment again illustrates
the positive nature of the State Execu.
tive. A strong pull had been made
for the retention of Lister, but it WAS
notably endorsed by many Republic
cans who could find no fault with
that gentleman's partisanship. One
thing may be said of Mr.. Jones in
which he resembles the Governor. He
is firm in the right and there will be
no question of where he stands on
purely party questions.
