order has been placed for large quantity
Of new machinery and two new trolley
cars for the g. H. Electric Go. The new
machinery will more than double the

repairs. The Olsen has been running
in the South Pacific for a couple Of years,
and as the toredo worm is more active
in those waters, than IN the north, con.
siderable damage has been done to her.

PRAISE FOR BRYAN.

It 70 net surprising, that President

common people: but ARE honest, earnest,
clean lived and high minded.
Mr.. Bryan has the more emotional
nature, and President Roosevelt has ex.
hibited morestact and sagacity, but there
is reason to believe that Mr.. Bryan has
learned tact and patience from repeated
failure, and that it called to the presi.

and the people than ever before. Already
careful observers are expressing the be-
lief that if the republican organization
should pass un Ter control of the trusts
on the retirement of President Roosevelt
in 1908, and nominate a candidate inn
bued with the doctrines Of monopoly,
Mr.. Bryan will be the nominee of the
democratic party in the next presiden.

NOW FOR HARD WORK.

With United States senator elected,
the decks at Olympia are cleared fol
action, and both senate and house will
be free to devote their undivided atten-
ton to the important matters awaiting
consideration.
Fl, st Of all is railroad commission
bill, an imperative matter that should
be disposed of at the earliest day pos
sible. The members OF the Legislature
know what public sentiment is on this
question, and they should respond by
enacting law that will bring the re-
suits SO long demanded.
The tax commission bill is nearly as
important, for fair adjustment of the
tax burden is something in which every
taxpayer is concerned, and law that
will correct existing inequalities can not
be passed any too soon.
The antipass bill should be brought
up and passed without a single vote
against it. Party promises call for an
immediate suppression Of the pass evil.
A state banking law is needed. and
there should be no delay in passinga bill
which will prevent any single banking
institutio enjoying a monopoly in the
use of the state funds.
Tie bill providing for the direct pri-
mary in making nominations should re-
ceive careful consideration. This is a
reform which is destined to be put into
law as generally as is the Australian bal
lot system, and the earlier the attention
OF the Legislature is given to it the great
.er the probability OF cnacting wise pri-
mary law at the present session. -,
The road law, the irrigation code and
other matters press for consideration,
and now that legislators are freq from
the distractions Of senatorial contest,
they should be in q position u push

now they are to be found only in the T.

hunters are rapidly extermlnating them.
In order to save these animals from
complete destruction it is proposed 10
stop all elk killing for 10 years. A s;m,-
lar law was passed in Oregon two years
ago. and already the goo results Of it
are noticeable. The elk are increasin 3,
and there is good prospect of perma'

denizens of the wilds.
The matter has received the attention
of the Washington Safe Fish and Game

be urged by a majority of sportsmen.
The Order Of Elks has also taken an in.
terest in the proposed legislation, and it
is believed that the measure will be
passed without meeting much opposi-

The elk slaughter has not been the
work OF the genuine sportemen. The
chief damage has been done by those who
desire to supply the demand for antlers
and teeth, and, Of course. when this is
the principal object, determination will
be inevitable unless steps are taken to
prohibit hunting. If the proposed law

daily paper is hereby taken back, and as
lawyers would say. reecinded. The
Bulletin does give the news, real news.
In fact, it is impossible for one to cor.
rectly know what he is doing himself
without being a regular reader of our en-
terprising contemporary. This fact was
forcibly brought to the mind Of the writer
when he read the following in the Bulle.

"Col. J. J. Carney is trying to get
stock taken in hot air proposition. He
proposes to control majority of the

Of scurrying around since reading it in
search OF the scheme, knowing there

the unwilling OF the Rogers statute on
Thursday.
When Gov. Rogers had such an oppor'
tunlty he appointed leading demo-
crat Of King county-Hon. William IL.
White-but balanced that appointment
by putting Judge Hadley, leading
republican, of Whatcom county upon the
bench.
Had Gov. Mead seen his way clear to
have appointed Alfred Rattle Eco, Of
Seattle, instead OF Milo Root, similar
recognition would have occurred.
Instead. however, Gov. Mead chose to
follow the partisan lines traditional witt,
most Of republican executives, and place
two republicans upon the bench-one Of
