IT is SIMPLY UNTRUE.-It remains
for man like Ezra Meeker to attempt
to tarnish the fame of the statesman,
soldier, patriot, Gov. Isaac I. Stevens.
In his compilation of a few facts of
early Territorial history and the ex-
preston of many prejudiced opinions,
among which is one that the Governor
was drinking man and that it was con.
sequent errors in making treaties with
the red man that led 10 the war. Moth.
ing can be farther from the truth. No
body ever saw Gov. Stevens under the
influence of liquor while he was execu.
tive of the Territory. and moreover,
nobody ever made that charge during
that time.

Gent sculptors could throw into a

noted for symmetry and grace possessed
only by the human form, has lost the

TIE STATE MAKES ANswER-State
Attorney Atkinson has filed his an.
swer to the complaint OF the Sylvester
heirs to the capitol grounds in thi.
city, in which he claims title for the
State on the original warranty deed
given by Sylvester June 18th, 1855
and to disregard the quit-claim given
by the heirs at the time capital con.
struction began. The original deed
contained no reversionary clause, but
the quit-claim does. Although it was
obtained under the belief that the
original deed was defective. it is urged
that continuous and absolute posses
sion for over fifty years constitutes a
valid title. The securing of quit
claim deed was the individual act oil
the Attorney-General without specific
authority of law. The answer esti'
mates the land in controversy to be
worth $4,000; that half the founda.
ton is on land acquired by purchase
and that if the contention of the
claimants is sustained the State is en-.
titled to recover half the value of such
improvement, estimated at $4,000.

SIMPLY LIKE THE CURRENT OF A
RIvER.-Many people cannot under.
stand how it can be possible to con-

do away with the use of locks. Chief
Engineer Wallace in alluding to the
matter says: "The difference in tide
between the Pacific and Caribbean
can be controlled by tide locks. al.
though this is not necessary with a
sea level canal. The tide in the Pa
cific rises ten feet higher and falls ten
feet lower than it does in the Carrib.
bean. The canal however, will be
sixty-seven miles long and will take
up this difference. We do not place
locks at Sandy Hook to control the
tide in the Hudson, and that river is
always navigable. So will the canal
be navigable at all times"

THE RECORD IN POULTRY ACHIEVE

have been announced in SO many diff

humble hen, with all her newly dis
covered prestige as producer. has been
overlooked. and it is only now that we
find record has been established in
which 200 eggs per year is maximum
average, and l60 good record. Geo.
NJ. Gowell, poultry specialist at the
experiment station OF the University
of Maine, at Orono, has, however, a
hen whose identity is rather concealed
than exposed in being "No. Gil"
which has laid 25l eggs in a year.

0S5 hens, over three months old, in
the United States, including Alaska
and Hawaii, was 1925. Sl9, l96 dozen,
and each laid on the average st dozen
eggs during the previous year, which
with wheat at present prices would
scarcely pay for Biddy's feed. The
yield has, however, been materially
increased of late years, from the fact
that more attention has been given TO
rearing OF poultry for profit.
