THE SPEAkERSHIP.

Now that the election is over
political interest centcrs on the
speakershlp of the Legislature.
The ii erald has no candidate
but at the risk Of doing the Buttin-
sky act we desire to say:
That the republican legislatures
elect should make the selection
themselves and unceremoniously
turn down outside suggestions
whether they come from newspapers
or from interested parties.
They ought not to take into
consideration the effect their selec-
ton may have on other candidates
for Legislative positions.
They ought not to require a
single pledge until the speaker is
elected.
Locality, nationality or occupa-
ton ought not to be taken into
consideration.
No man with the slightest
suspicion of corporation faint
should be selected.
A man ought to be selected and
not mere autOmatOn who will
only act when some one else pulls
the strings.
A republican should be selected
who supported the republican ticket
in its entirety.
1t is,up to the republican mem
bers of the Legislature to select a
republican speaker by republican
methods. Now is the time for
every republican legislator to do
his duty.

The first heavy quartz mining ma chinery for the Klondike arrived Fri day on the barge SybiI, in charge of the steamer Bonanza King. The ma chinery is direct from the outside, and is for the Violet group of quartz prop critics on Eldorado. The shipment con- sists of twenty boxes of material, in cluded iu which are compressors, a hoist and seventeen other boxes. The Violet company has been prospecting extensively for two years, and have long tunnels and shafts in the pro- perty. The equipment will be in- stalled soon. A track for the carrying of the ore from the mouth of the shaft is being built and will be ready for use as soon as the machinery is in- stalled.-Yukon Sun.
 Former Governor William Ogilvie, who is in Dawson eDroute to his dredg- ing concession on the Stewart river, eontemplates writing in the near future a history of the Yukon, says the Dawson News. Mir. Ogilvie has gath cred great quantity of valuable data, particularly that obtained by the passing throng of pioneers of the Yukon. With this he will be able to compile a book that should be far more exhaustive and fascinating than any similar work extant. When the Kondike was struck Mir. Ogilvie was in the Yukon, and before that had be- come prominent here as an explorer &or several years. He gained his greatest prominence before that time by running the international boundary line along the 14st meridian, which separates Alaska from the Canadian Yukon. One of the most striking true romances of the north recently was written by Mir. Ogilvie for the Wide World magazine, and will be published soon. In it the names of the characters are changed, but the tale is told ex- actly as it was enacted in real life.

selves "Ordinary Persons"
In "Studies In Contemporary Biogra-

stories which caused some Of the critics
to express establishment at the mod.
esty Of the great" The stories are
these:
Meeting Mr.. Gladstone in the lobby
and seeing his face saddened by the
troubles in Ireland, Mr.. Bryce tried to
divert his thoughts by mentioning
recent discovery-to wit, that Dante
had been saved from want in his last
years by lectureship at Ravenna. Mr..
Gladstone's face lit up at once, and he
said, How strange it is to think that
these great souls, whose works are
beacon light to all the genera tons that
have come after them, should have had
cares and anXieties to vex them in their
daily life just like the rest Of us COM
mon mortals!
THE words reminded me-" adds the
author, that few days before had
heard Mr.. Darwin, in dwelling upon
the pleasure visit paid by Mr.. Glad
stone had given him, say, And he talk
ed just as if he had been an ordinary
person like one of ourselves The two
men were alike unconscious of their
greatness"
1t is only the little who think them
selves great. They are like those who
do not know much and therefore i'm
agine that there is not much to know
The great do not think themselves So
just as the learned are overwhelmed by
their ignorance.

very nearly So Over half a century
ago Capt Warbass came to 'the
land where rolls the Oregon and
hears no sound save its own dash
ings." The Hudson Bay Company,
through its chief factor, Dr. John
Mclaughlin, at old Fort Vancouver,
was still the strongest power along
the Columbia, although the irresisti-
BILE tide of immigration had then be-
gun to roll across the plains and the
mountains to the little settlements

Warbass saw their murderers hanged

was the first postmaster commits

PASSING OF THE PIONEERS

Commenting on the recent death,
at Garfield, of one OF the state S
early pioneers, the Spokane Spokes-
man-Review says:
1T was the privilege of William I.
Syron to be d witness of the birth
and growth to its present proper
tons of the commonwealth of Wash
ington. Mr.. Syron and his bride
crossed the plains from Iowa in 1852
and settled in the Willamette valley
in Oregon. AT that time Washing
ton territory had not been set apart
from Oregon, and the total white
population of the present state did
not exceed "a few hundred. There,
was, of course, not a mile of railroad
or telegraph line on the Pacific coast;
not a mile of good wagon road in
Washington territory; not a church
or school house north of the Columbia
river.
Even so late as 1870 Washington
seemingly had made slight progress
toward statehood. Walla Walla,
with 1894 population, was the largest
town in the territory. Olympia, the
capital, came next, with 1903 and
Seattle was third. with l107 Sp6-
kane and Tacoma were not on the
map.
'There is nothing al history to
equal the work of our pioneers in
western state building, The achieve
mcnt has been repeated In so many
states, and we stand so near the
doors, that their work takes on a
misleading appearance of common
place. A thousand years from now
thoughtful men will contemplate, in
wonder, the marvellous rapidity with
which our pioneers moved into a saw
age land and erected sovereign states
and great cities.
