long after the poets death. In the
Belletorest collection the death of
Hamlet was added to the original mar
ratlve, probably pure fiction, to
round out the tale. The sending of
Hamlet to England by Fengo is also
found IN the Belleforest collection.
Outside the general plot, however,
everything is shakespeare's own. In
the matter OF time both the Belleforest
collection and the Shakespearean play
depart from the Saxo history, placing

WALLA WALLA'S GREATEST
NEED.

Public sentiment in Walla Walla is
practically unanimous in favor of i'm
proving the streets by paving and
macadamizing and the city council
will be heartily supported in any rea-
sonable MEASURES it may adopt for has
tening such improvements. The pres
ent abominable condition of the streets
and crosswalks is the only disagree
able feature of life in Walla Walla and
its continuance will unquestionably re-
tard the growth and prosperity of the
city by repelling homeseekers and dpiv-
ing away capital that might otherwise
be invested here. Every owner of
property on Main or Alder street would
find that his holdings would be greatly
enhanced in value by the laying of
pavement in the business section and
the naca damiZng of the streets in the
residence districts of the city. Such
improvements would give a better
tone to real estate values in general
within the city and would attract
homeseekers and investors. The mud
DIV streets of Walla Walla are the one
big blot upon her reputation and this
stigma should be removed as soon as
possible.

who show figures and nicely prepared
MANS and glittering prospectuses to
substantiate their statements. Many
men. usually shrewd and careful IN the
disposition of their money, are ready
TO take a tiier" in mine or a real es-
tate scheme. and even come up for a
substantial assessment afterward, US
ually without knowing actually any
thing about the property into Whlch
they are putting their money. On the
other hand, the manufacturer with
substantial business and his books to
nrova IFS worth, Often has difficulty
in disposing of new stock When the
growth of the business demands add
tional capital. Sometimes the same
man who regards the manufacturing
investment with suspicion Will almost
the nextf day invest an amount o
money, equal or greater than that ask
ed for by the manufacturer, in an en-
terprise he has nexer examined ana
Of which he knows nothing more than
what the promoter has told him. rs
Inmates of the losses sustained by resi-
dents of individual cities run into MIL
lions of dollars. This same money
saved to a city in the form of new or
enlarged manufacturing concerns
would mean not only dividends, but
also the additional returns which come
with increased population and conse-
quent wealth.

TOWN COUNCIL CREATES RE

The following extract from letter

representative in Panama of the Port
land OregOnian. Seattle Times, Balti-
more Sun and other papers. will throw
light upon the formal ton Of the new
republic, which was recognized by
President Roosevelt almost before it
was born:
1t seems almost incredible that the
municipal council of a city of fewer
than G5.000 people should take unto
themselves the right 20 create a re-
public out of a territory equal in area
to the state of Indiana: but that was
what was actually done in this case.
Instead of a provincial congress, the
city council of Panama passed the act
of Independence. Every legislative
formality incident to the creation OF
this republic was performed by these
city cOuncimen. no portion of the new
republic except the city of Panama
having a voice by representation, in
what was done. Nor has any portion

Sentiment for the nomination Oh
Ju6ge Turner for governor is practlc-
Ally unanimous among west side DEM

side democrats are OppOrtunists; they
realize that to nominate Turner

would appeal to. Hence, II McBrlde

Judge Turner, private citizen that ne
