SCANDAL NAY DEVELOP.
Charges Involve Acts of st. Louis
EXPOSITION COMPANY.

Washington, March discharges of
scandal are now being made in the
affairs of the st. Louis exposition com
pany. They concern the granting of
awards and also the salvage contracts
by which certain of the great exposi
ton buildings are to be removed.
Senator Thomas H. Carter, who has
resigned his place as chairman of the
government commission, said that one
of the subjects to be considered by the
commission "involves alleged collision
in the sale of the exposition buildings
and the property of the exposition at
what is said to be an inadequate price
received on a contract made without
fair competition or publicity.
cit is claimed by numerous par
ties" the senator added, that through
the failure of the exposition company
to fairly describe the property for sale,
profit of more than million dollars
was given to the favored bidders which
would involve loss to the United
States of one-third of that amount"

N. P. To mine COPPER.
Has Begun Work on Exten-
sive Properties in Olym-
pic Mountains.

Tacoma, March l3.-The Ledger
says:
Hing up in the Olympic mountains,
practically on the divide, where the
snow lies deep nearly all the year
around, the Northern Pacific Railway
company is engaging in new mining
enterprise that means much for the
development of the mining industry of
Washington-the opening of an i'm
mense copper property that bids fair to
rival the largest of the kind in the en-
tree ountrry. The advent of the
Northern Pacific in copper mining is
a distinct innovation in its mining
activities, and, considering the scale
of operations entered into in the Olym
pics, is likely to ultimately become q
close second to its extensive coal opera
tions.
The scope of the plan contemplates
not only the operation Of group OF
nearly 80 exceedingly rich claims, and
the construction of good road through
from Quilcene bay, a distance of about
40 miles, but the erection Of a great
copper smelling plant at the mines or
in close proximity.
First Copper Nine in OlympiCS.
Tue development work now being
pushed by the Northern Pacific will
have the distinction of opening up the
first producing copper mine in the
Olympics. Although the presence of
valuable copper deposits in these noun
tains has long been known to prospect
ors, the rugged nature of the country
and its almost inaccessibility has
served heretofore to prevent the devel
opment of copper properties. Now the
railroad company, with unlimited 1e
sources at command, will thew way
through the wilderness aud force the
copper rib bed peaks to yield up their
treasures.
There has just been dispatched from
Tacoma party Of eight experienced
men, in charge of two expert engineers
rfomS t. Paul, to the mine, where a
force of about 25 men is already en-
gged in development work on the COM
pany's claims. Other parties will be
sent out until the force this summer
will be increased to at least 80 men
G. r. Claghorn, recently appointed AS
superintendent of Northern Pacific
mining properties, is expected to re-
turn to Tacoma within few days and
it is also expected that he will pay an
early visit to the Olympic properties,
and perfect plans for their develop
ment

Olympia, March l3.-The consti-

by the state supreme court in test
case from Adams county. The stat
ute was attacked as delegation of

with section ~, article /, of the state

The persons who are authority for
the above statement also say that these
so-called anti-Peabody Republicans
will vote as unit against every report
from the contest committee, which, if
done, will not only defeat Peabody,
but will allow Adams to retain the
governorship he now holds.
After voting down the reports a mo-
ton to adjourn the joint assembly sine

Democrats. This will perhaps end the
contest However the Peabody men
smile when the plan above is unfolded

to use every endeavor to force the issue

1t is probable that the whole matter
will be disposed of in the next forty
eight hours.

Love of Order and Kindnesa.

The two essential instincts of hu-

love of kindness. By the love Of order
the moral energy is to deal with the
earth, and dress it, and keep it, and
to deal with all rebellions or dissolute
forces in lower creatures and in our
selves. BY the love Of kindness the
moral energy is to deal rightly with all
