IF you're feeling sort of gloomy
As the fortnights wane and wax;
If prosperity has caught you
szssVhere the chicken got the ak;
s3on't give up in deep dependency
Nor on your troubles brood,
For the losses will be lighter when the
Times
Get
Good.
If your confidence" is weakenin'
With nothing good in sight,
Until it seems Dame Fortune
Just turns you down for spite,
Keep your temper, don't get wrathy,
For your luck will change it's mood,
And you'll do a smashing business
when the
Times
Get
Good.
If the bottom seems a droppin'
Out of everything you've got,
And you'd like to just give up
Your little ghost upon the spot,
Stave it off a little longer
And let me but conclude
Things will go as slick as 'lasses when
the
Times
Get
Good.

ON September 5, 1902, the coal claim
ants appeared before the Olympia land
department with the intention OF max
ing final proof and purchase of the
lands. Assistant Attorney-General
Ross appeared on behalf of the state
and filed a protest against the flnal
proof of the coal claimants, for the
reason that the section of land was
granted to the state for public school
purposes. At the hearing ii developed
that the coal company had purchased
the original filings on the land for ST.

in developing the mines. A stock
companv was formed and $4,000 worth
of shares sold, the company believing
it could obtain title to the land under
