ed there that Mr.. Charles W. Swisher.
the new secretary of state, will re-
sign from the Office to which lie WAS
elected in November, because OF un-
looked for legislation. The Montgom-
cry statutory attorney bill. making
the auditor get the ATTORNEY fees for
all nonresident corporations. aud the
defeat of the bill TO make the secre-
tary of state member of the state
board of public works, are ascribed
as Mr.. Swisher's reasons.
The report is not believed. despite
its persistent circulation. Mr. Swisher
naturally expecied to receive the
foreign corporation patronage enjoyed
by preceding secretaries of state, but
he is not expected to give up an other
wise prominent Office TOR this reason.
He Is known to have desire TO be in
touch with state affairs, which the
Office would easily give. and hence
lie would be foolish to resign this
place.
Mr.. Swisher does not 6eny any rs

PRIDE OF PROFESSION.

Andrew Carnegie, the man Of many
sides, in his latest book, on the Life Of
James Watt, gives us the impression
Sspride of profession" and illustrates
how far this is carried by a story Of
the street serapers Of Pittsburg. At
their noon repast these men were ex
pressing their opinions Of Mccarthy,
one Of their number, who had recently
died. One Of them went so far as to
say that he was "the best man that
ever seraped a hoe on Liberty street. -
TO this eulogy another allowed "Mae
was a good enough man on plain work,
but around the CAST posts he wasn't
worth a cent"
10 Was pride Of profession, pride Of
their work notwithstanding its lowly
character, that inspired these men thus
TO eulogize their dead comrade. They
had gotten hold Of the principle Of life
which makes work a joy and a salts
faction.
An men Of whatever rank and sta.
tion feel the same thrill Of pride over
work well done. 1t is inherent in them.
Mr.. Carnegie puts it this way; "rhus
is human nature eve the same down
TO the roots Many distinctions, few
differences in life. We are all kin,
members of the one family, playing
with different toys"
II is to the glory Of mankind that
this is soi that men see the value of
honest toll and respect one another for
faithful, efficient work whatever the
task may be, The fame for this kind
of service beongs to all and it is as
much priced by one as by another.

Japan'S Scaweed Industry


A branch Of the fisheries in which
Japan far surpasses all other countries
as regards extent and ingenuity Of
method is the seaweed industry, ac-
cording to United States Deputy Fish
Commissioner Smith. In the United
States, Notwithstanding our long coast
line and seaweed resources, not inferior
to Japan's the annual crop of marine
vegetables is worth only 100000, where
as in japan these products are exceed
ed in value by only four animal pro-
duets Of the fisheries. Many kinds Of
algae are gathered. The local con
sumption is enormous, and large guam
titles Of prepared seaweeds are export
cd to China, Europe and elsewhere.
Among the most valuable kinds Of
seaweeds are the kelps (laminaria),
which are taken in immense quantities
on the northern coast, particularly in
Hokkaido. The plants are prepared
for market in n great variety Of ways,
under the general name Of kumbo.
Kumbo is one Of the staple foods Of the
country, being eaten alone as a vege-
table or as a seasoning for meats, fish,
stews, etc. This business has been car
ried on since 1880, employees thousands
Of men, women and children, and is
worth from 100000 TO 81, 900.
Various algae with soft, pulpy fronds
are dried by the fishermen and sold to
dealers for manufacture into a kind Of
glue. This business dates from about
| 1870, and is now conducted in over 100
establishments.
A very valuable seaweed product,
and the one with which Americans and
Europeans are most interested, is a
vegetable isinglass or agar.agar. 1t is
made from weeds rich in gelatin by
boiling them in fresh water and strain.
ing the pulp through coarse cloths. The
business began about 1850. Five hun
bred establishments are devoted to the
manufacture Of kanten, and the output
in 1902 was 100000 pounds, valued at
$4,000. The identical alga from
which the japanese make their kanten
abounds on our own coasts, but not a
piece Of II is now utilized.
One other seaweek comes almost en-.
tirely from planted grounds, and in the
cultivation of marine vegetables tho
japanese stand alone. In all parts Of
the world there occurs a red alga
known 10 British and Americans as
LAYER, which was formerly a popular
food in the British isles, and sparingly
eaten in the United States. From a
very remote period the Japanese have
utilized this plant, and for centuries
just how long is not known-have car
ried on an ingenious form Of e%ultiva-

CITY WATER PAYS
WELL IN THE DALLES

"The expenses of the city Of The
Dalles will be paid within few years
by the income from the municipal
water system, said John Douthit oi
that place who was In Hood River last
Friday.
The Dalles has a bonded indebted
ness of S72, eco for its city water plant.
The bonds come due in about seven
years OF this amount, S52, 600 Is for
the first issue. Sufficient funds are
now on hand to meet the payment
when due Interest on this fund off
sets the interest paid to the bond
holders. A sinking fund is also rap
idly accommodating for the later iss Ie
of $40, 600, made few years ago for
an extension of the system.
When the bonds are due, payment
will be made in full. Mr.. Douthit
says the revenue from the water plant
is Sl700 a month in the summer, and
about $500 a month in the winter.
Two men are employed to look after
the system at a salary Ter month OF
s65 each. This together with expense
for repairs leaves the city over $1,000 a
month TO place in the sinking fund.
In few years The Dalles will have
a handsome income for all city ex-
penses paid directly by the municipal
water plant.

The county board of education has
completed its work Of adopting school
books for Klickitat county schools for
the next five years, and @. M. Volt
ard & Co. is named as the depository
or supplying those tributary to White
salmon.
The board secured more liberal
Germs with publishers as to the conei-
zion of old books than former con
tracts.
1t will be remembered that five
years ago the supply of new books was
not sufficient for the demand until
lfter the time for exchange had ex-
oired, making 1t necessary to pay the
.ull purchase price of books. / would
suggest that old books be deposited
with 9. NJ. Wolfard Co. with applica-
lion for exchange at the earliest con-
venience. This will give the deposi-
tory some idea of the size of the order
to place with the publisher. would
further suggest That each pupils
books lie wrapped separate from other
pupils books, even In the same fam
lily, with the name Of pupil on
wrapper, and the year in course as
nearly as possible. To illustrate the
reason for this: We now have One
Book Course in English to trade for,
either Steps in English" or Mother
Tongue, according to grade of pupil,
aud unless grade of pupil is known at

occur.
