The phrase licked into shape" owes
its origin to a very ancient fable. In
Bailey's "Ovid's Metamorphoses," ia
bic 33 has this heading: Bears bring
forth Il lump of flesh and by licking
reduce it 10 a proper shape" This ira
dition that the cubs of bears are cast
shapeless and remain so till the dam
has licked them into proper form is
emphasized in Pope's "Dunciad:'
So watchful bruin forms, with plastic
care,
Each growing lump and brings it to a
bear.
In Shakespeare, too, King Henry
W." part 3, act 3, section 2, we find:
Like to a chaos, or an unlocked bear
whelp,
That carries no impression like the dam.

man complacently. pleased to have IN

that even from here. But you can
appreciate her ugliness without seeing
her full face. She has a most ap-

The authoress in question, who was
neither masculine nor ugly nor af11ct'
ed with a squint, had n of humor

RAILROAD Commission SHOULD
Be FAIR, ABLE men.
II the Commission Law is to Have a
Fair Trial, the Services of the
AbicSt Men in the State are Need
ed on the Commission. 1t is Up
to Governor Mead.

II the railway commission law is to be
effective and satisfactory, the commits
sion must he made up Of three of the
ablest men in Washington. If Governor
Mead shall appoint as members of the
| commission three broad, fair, able, vigor.
Gus and upright citizens, the commission
| law will be a credit to its creators and to
the state administration responsible for
its application.
Governor La Toilette, of Wisconsin,
who is everywhere recognized as one Of
the abIest champions of state regulation
Of railroads, said in recently published
article:
"The work OF the commission in fixing
rates must stani VI fall as it meets the
tests which will be applied in court OF
appeals, where such work is very certain
to go for review. To be sustained, rates
way corporations. In fixing the rate,
therefore, if the commission is to do JUS.
tice to the public, it must reduce the
rate as much as possible, and still make
it fairly and justly remunerative and
profitable to the railway companies.
This requires technical and expert
knowledge Of traffic conditions and OF
The cost OF railway construction, MAIN
tenance and operation. Whenever test
is made in court OF the work OF railway
commissioners they will find themselves
confronted by the ablest traffic experts
in the employ OF the great railway com.
panes. These they should be fitted to
combat
1t ought to be apparent to Governor
Mead that this is trust calling for men
of more than ordinary ability. If he
should entrust this great work to three
cheap politicians, thus using the patron
age Of the commission to pay off political
debts, the results could not be satisfac-
tory to the people.
If, on the other hand, Governor Mead
shall rise above partisan influences and
name three men of pronounced ability.
the commission law will be found sue
cess. This the governor should be able
to do. The positions are offices of re.
sponsibility and honor, and the salary OF
$1,000 a year is large enough to tempt
men capable of performing the duties.
1t is nearly as much as United States
senators and congressman receive, and is
equal to tb alary paid to justices OF the
state sup court.
1t is however, probable that the
right .t of men will clamor for the
positi ms. If the governor is to get the
right material he will have to be strong
enough to push aside a number OF strenu-
GUS applicants, and voluntarily tender
the positions to men who are not eagerly
soliciting them.- Spokane Spokesman

THE FACTORY INSPECTION LAW.
The Press of the State POkeS Pun at
Representative Davis.

The factory inspection law seems to be
in that class known as freak legislation.
1t attempts to accomplish a certain end
and after leading up to it very nicely
suddenly slumps off and rescinds every
thing that has gone before.-Olympian.
Representative Davis, of this county,
was the author, or rather, introduced the
factory inspection bill. Now that it is
no good, Mr.. Davis legislative honors
will rest solely on his bill for protection
OF the meek and lowly clam. Mr.. Davis
is naturally little proud OF his clam
bill. While other legislators were pass =
ing bills for the protection OF railroads,
lumbermen, banks, mi.lionaires, etc.,
Mr.. Davis was the only one to extend a
helping hand to the poor clam, who for
untold ages has been struggling against
great odds to attain to higher ends than
an inglorious death in some church stew
or Halferty's clam cannery.
AS all men who aspire to great public
honots must have some nick name by
which they are known familiarly to the
people at large. Mr.. Davis takes no little
pride in the name bestowed on him
by his colleagues at Olympia, "Clam
George. ."-Montesano Vidette.

g. E. Boberg, of Bellingham. Wash.,
has process for distilling from fir wood
ITS valuable properties. Mr.. Boberg is
familiar with the process profitably be-
ing worked in Sweden, and is satisfied it
would prove as profitable in this country.
lie controls patents which provide for
the distillng Of wood products by the use
of superheate1 air. The time required
for distIling is from II to 10 hours. Dur
ing this time every particle of charcoal, i,
oil and turpentne is taken out. There
are in this state thousands Of cords oil
wood that could be sent to distiling
plants if we'll located and easy OF access.
The pitch obtained from fir is Of very
high grade. Turpentine and tar, Of an
excellent quality, gas Of the best grade,
with excellent heating and lighting
qualities, charcoal and pyrolgneous
acid. The importation a.of turpentine
goes steadily forward. all of which might
be supplied from the.waste of the mills
on this coast. Large quantities of tar
are constantly 'sbeing imported from
Europe. Pitch is shipped here from the
east. Mr. Boberg thinks the trees left
in the woods owing to pitch knots and
other defects. could be profitab!v run
through a distilling plant. The demand
for all these: products is constantly in
creasing. He claims that a thousand
feet OF lumber can be distilled cheaper
than thousand feet of lumber can be
manufactured. Mr.. Boberg controls the
patents owned by the Grondahls Com
pany. With this company's charcoal
furnace the fires..are Akept constantly

the furnace for recharging it. One OF
these furnaces was constructed mum.
ber OF years ago in Finland, which has
been in constant operation. The furnace
is loaded from trucks, and by ingenious
arrangements the trucks are unIoaded
after passing through the outer CORFU
gated sheet metal doors. The drying
compartment is kept at temperature Of
120 degrees. This drives the moisture

ber the tenlperature,is 400 degrees. The
percentage OF charcoal obtained is very
high, the quality Of the turpentine is OF

cheaper than that at which. these
watches may be purchased at whole

line of watches is a commentary up
on the vagaries of the tariff system,
because the fact is the watches have
been bought in England, al probably
a small advance upon the export
price. which is much lower than the
domestic price, and brought back to

Major Mark Howell as consulting en-
gineer, to consider the pr~acticabiiity
of building a bridge across the Rio
Pecos, in Precinct No. 4. in Town
ship Is. The COMMITTEES, of which
ME-. Poe was designated chairman,
was instructed to search for the best
location for said bridge and report on
the advisability of building, and the
probable cost of same.
The committee has filed a saaled
report with Probate Clerk Gayle, and
this report will be considered at the
meeting of the board the first Monday
in July. Such action will then be Ia
ken as to the board may seem best.
The sealing of the report, however
was not t prevent publication. and
Chairman Poe of the committee said
to the Record editor yesterday that
the committee had recommended that
The bridge be located at the point
where the north line of section "a
crosses the Pecos river. This point
is about half way between the towns
of Hagerman and Dexter and the pro-
posed bridge will serve both towns
equally.
The board and the committee, TAX
of the taxpayers. did not deem it prac
ticable to build a twelve or fifteen
thousand dollar bridge for the bene-
fit of each of the towns. which are
only about five miles apart, and be-
lieved that a bridge properly located
would fulfill all reasonable demands
for years to come for 10Th towns. The
county has recently built one bridge
over the Pecos, and to build Two
more within a year. where one would
serve all reasonable requirements.
WONAo OO oA u up
on the taxpayers.
The board, accordingly, instructed
the committee to go to township 13.
inspect, report on conditions and
make recommendations as to the best
location. cost and advisability of
building same. This the committee
has done, and the board can either
accept or reject the report and rec
concentrations.
Dexter people, of course, want the
bridge near their town, and so ioes
Hagerman-but since the burden of
two briggs would fall very heavily
upon the taxpayers at the present
time. it would seem that the compro-
mise contemplated would give both
towns a fair lea and at the same
time shows a proper regard for the
interests of the taxpayers.
1t may be added that the site in
section ten. where Dexter wished the
bridge located was not deemed suita-
BILE for building, even if the county
were able to build two bridges in
of one. Taking it all in all. the
Record believes that the board and
its committee have done and will do
the best thing possible after due con
sideration of all the circumstances.
