call it literature-are precisely the years
when the mind is being most deeply
stirred they are the years which decide
whether the high and pure or tie low
lives. 1t is the time when the intellect
ual fortunes of the child are settled for
life. But some will say that, generally
speaking, only few OF the children are so
placed that they can get hold of the
right kind of books. This is no longer
the case. In this age of public Libraries,
child who lives in a town of any size.
One of the dreams of the future for our
own little library is to have, what is
being carried on in so many of the large
libraries, "a children's ROOM" An
ideal room Of this kind is in Pittsburg.
1t is adorned with flowers and plants,
photographs and bas-reliefs OF the best
masters are on the walls, mounted birds
and animals are Ill the inches and
corners. The easily reached shelves are
open to all ana any one may take down
any book they wish. The best chidren's
magazines are placed on the tables, and
in Seattle it has been found that the
circulation OF these magazines has caused
a marked decrease in the demand for
poorer fiction. Miss Briscoll OF Eau
Claire has arranged over two shelves Of
ladders to climb" A ladder is drawn
on a slip OF paper and over each round
is written the title OF a book. These

Congressman Jones May Get II.

The vacancy on the rivers and harbors
committee caused by the untimely death
of Congressman Tongue of Oregon, is
very likely to be rendered Wesley L.
Jones. Mr.. Jones has signified his
willingness to accept the place if offered
him, and the influence that will be
brought to bear by Senator Foster and
Congressman Cushman will probably
place the Yakima congressman in this
important position. There is little like
lihood that any other aspirant will be
able to present any strong demands for
the position since the Pacific coast has
always had two members on this i'm
portant committee, and California now
has one while both Oregon men in the
next house will be new members.
There is reason to believe that with
Jones as member OF the committee,
Washington would be greatly benefited
and at last receive the recognition the
state deserves as regards her waterways.
Important legislation for this part of
the country will doubtless be the result
OF the report on the next river and har-
Dor bill

Has it ever occurred to many of us
what an unconscious influence we are
exerting all the time over the children
and young people who are around us?
No greater good fortune can befall
child than to be born into home where
the best books are read and the best
music interpreted. Many things are
said in such a home which the child
cannot fully comprehend but the atmos-
phere envelopes him at the most recep-
tive age; his Imagination is arrested by
pictures, sounds and facts which, like
the seed in the parable, fall into the
ground. His memory is stored without
conscious effort. l have been much
impressed at the difference there is in
families. There are parents who make
the serious mistake Of taking the tone OF
the family lie from the children in
stead Of giving that life the tone Of their
own ideals and intelligence. Nature
spreads out her beautiful phenomena to
all, and each age takes that which APP
peals to it and which it can understand.
If we would adopt natures model in the
home, the child's mind would only
grasp what it could, but that which it
had takon would be Of the best. The
chief influence. OF course, is books, and
too great care cannot be- taken as to
what taIl. into the chiid's hands in this
way. There are great many so-called
chiIdreu's books which are wholesome,
entertaining and educative in a high de-
gree. They possess these qualities be-
cause they are genuine and human
They are as entertaining to the older
readers a. well rs the younger ones
There are also thousands Of other books
which are published and which it Is
crime almost to put into the hands of
the young. They are not merely vast
ers Of time but are unwholesome, senti-
mental, untrue, cheap and vulgar. \
child who spends it, time reading this
kind Of literature will chose companions
whose tastes run in the same direction,
and little by little the appreciation Of
the nobler side Of life will be dulled and
a lower standard will be theirs.
The years which are given over to this
reading matter-it is a PROCLAMATION 10

Washington as a Fruit State,

State horticulture Van Holderbeke,
in his annual report for 1902, shows that
the fruit crop of Washington for that
year was 4,125,00O boxes, valued at
s6,000,000. While this is the market
value of that fruit, that sum was not
realized for the reason that much of it
was fed to hogs or allowed to rot on the
ground for want of market in the
shape of driers and canneries. The
fruit of this state is becoming recognized
as superior in quality and flavor to
that of California, especially our prunes,
apples, strawberries, and with the rapid
increase in the number of orchards and
fruit ranches, there are splendid open
ings in various parts OF the state for the
profitable investment of capital in the
creation of much-needed additional can
neries and driers.-Trade Register.

mental climbing. When one thinks of
the work thai our little library might do
here, and how little it is able to do owing
to lack of interest, it seems almost as if
sacred duty were being neglected, and
l beg all those who love children to
come forward and do their part in help
ing the young of our town to nobler
life by placing good books within their
reach.
With this hope | say farewell to the
readers of THE HERALD thanking all
those who have been so helpful and
generous with their praise.

The whole tendency of civilization is
not toward war, but away from it.
This has been freshly and impressively
illustrated in the case of Venezuela, and
while it would be foolish to assert that
a great international war cannot again
happen, it may be said that every year
Its occurrence becomes more unlikely.
The national rivalries of the future
seem destined to assume the form of

lost a faithful and efficient worker in
the death Of Mrs. DIR. Gum. She was
much interested in the cause of home

mourn her loss. Mrs. p. J. Flint will be
chosen to take the place on the board
made vacant by the death of Mrs. Gum.
Mrs. f. L. Davies, field superintendent,
accompanied by Mr.. Williams, was also
here, and took back with her baby boy
