COMMISSION Bill
has PASSED SENATE
Is now In the Hands of Gov
crnor Mead Awaiting
Signature.

Olympia, March with a rush,
the railroad commission bill passed
the senate today, with but four
presuming to vote against it. The
vote was a surprise to every friend
OF the measure and the railroads
were thunderstruck when the COM
bination secured votes enough to
force its passage.
The bill covers all phases of the
legislation which has been demand
ed by the advocates of a commits
sion. The landslide shook the
back teeth of the railroad bunch, it
was so sudden.
The southeast combine made
splendid record in the matter of the
final passage.
There is jubilation among the
east side delegates tonight, who
claim the first victory ever gained
over a railroad lobby in Washing
ton.
The bill was amended in the
salary clause, reducing the pay from
/ $4,000 to $4,000 and granting the
privileges Of passes to employees
FWitGor without household goods
lA The bill will go to the governo
/ ii once for approval. 4
\ 1T will doubtless receive the ap
proval of the governor and become
Ia law under the emergency pro
vision.
The railroad commission bill that
passed the house at Olympia the
other day by vote of 73 to II, is
a bill fairly meeting the wants OF
\ the pro-commission men, and boiled
dpVn to few lines the features of
the bill are:
! An appointive commission of
three members.
Absolute appointive and removal

$i60,OOO FOR
THE COLLEGE
Appropriations Committee Recon-
mends that Amount for the
State College.

A letter received last night from
Representative Peter McGregor, at
Olympia, announces that the joint
appropriation committee of the
house and senate has agreed upon
$3.50, 900 as the total amount to be
given the State College for the next
two years. Of this amount, $780,
900 is for maintenance, and $40, 900
for Improvement and equipment of
the Mechanical engineering build
lug. ~
The requests of the various state
institutions for new buildings were
all refused at this time, the demands
for cash for the different state de-
partments being SO great that it was
impossible to allow them.
The appropriation for mainten.
ance this session is $40, 900 over that
given two years ago, when it was
but $IIo, 900. This increase is
made necessary by reason of the
great growth and development of
the institution, and at that the ap-
propriations are not keeping pace
with the college.
This state appropriation, in addi-
ton to the funds from the national
/ 4vs-.s4rl-4erst5 Elf sire the college
some $24o, 900 10 carry it through
the coming two years.
There is also a separate appro-
priation of $1,000 for conducting
farmers j, t!tntes, to be expended
under the lotion of the college,
and $50, 900 IL he Puyallup exper-
iment station.

Many virtues have been ascribed to
cold waves; it is conceded that they
have some. Their utility, however, is
largely inferential while their disad.
yantages are direct and effective. Sc
we're freezes are beneficial 10 the extent
of disintegrating soils and making
available the materials that are neces.
sary to support plant life; the heavy
snow usually, an incidental feature
over limited districts, gives warmth to
the ground, thereby protecting some
cereal crops. Professor Moore, Chief
Of the Weather Bureau, sustains the
position that the dry-cold air intensihes
vitality, making buoyant the listless,
and recharging the nation, as it were,
with more energy and higher incen-
tlves. To the fruit and the vegetable
grower Of the South the cold wave is
an erratic and unwelcome factor, cut
ting down profits and consuming diyi-
dends, though itself inert and non-pro'
ductve. 1t negatives energy, push and
pluck The fruit grower who, with a
surplus Of energy and a minimum OF
capital, works hard to deserve success,
becomes timid, irresolute and listless

All the best known authors seem to
have blundered-little wonder, consid-
ering the amount they write, and the
scrutiny to which it is subject. Yet
how many Of us remember that Dick
ems made Mr.. Squeers set his boys to
work to hoe turnips in midwlnter, or
that the girl Tattycoran, in Little
Dorrit," enters with an iron box two
feet square under her arm" We could
hardly, perhaps, be expected to know
that an early edition of Webster's Die
tionary defined a wicket keeper as "the
player who stands with bat to protect
the wicket from the ball." In "Lo-
THAR" we are told, Lord Beaconsfield
gives Lady Montairy three different
Christian names in three separate chap
ters. In the first volume Of the second
edition she is called GeOrglna; later she
answers to Augusta; and in the second
volume we meet her as Victoria Mont
airy. Possibly, though, the lady pos
sessed all these names. Thackery was
responsible for many valuable blum
iers, reaching his high-water mark
when in "The Newcomes" he kills tho
mother Of Lord FarintOsh In one chap
ter, and restores her to life in later

wealth and good taste made an ideal
combination. The wedding took place
in a delightful club house and the
ceremony room was the west parlor,
Three tall heart.shaped arches Of
smilaX formed the aisle. The bases
Of these arches were pedestals Of
white and gold wicker with ferns and
yellow chry ysanthemums at the top. A
large wedding bell of pink roses hung
in the arch before the altar, This bell
was filled with pink rose petals and
at the close Of the ceremony the two
little flower-girls each took a white
satin ribbon and with the swinging
Of the bell shower Of rose petals fell
over the bride and groom
The entire end of the room was oc-
cupied by the altar. This was COM
pletely filled in with forest palms and
ferns and large white altar candles in
brass candlesticks Of Greek design,
The side walls Of the room were COW
cred with pleated cheesecloth from
which was suspended frieze Of south
ern smilaS. The banquet was in the
assembly hall and the grand staircase
bore immense shower bouquets Of CO.'S
mos blossoms and white lilies on each
newell post and was outlined in smilax.
At the head Of the stairs were decora.
tive orange trees. The tables in the
banquet hall were in the form Of an
immense W, the initial Of the bride
groom. On the two outside tables q
long, narrow band formed of pink roses
and ferns standing upright was used
down the centre Of the table, Down
the two inner tables this band was
Of bride roses and ferns. The spaces
between tables and in the corners Of
the room were filled in with palms and
tropical plants. The electric lights
were in festoons about the room, The
menu cards were severely plain, orna-
mented with only the monogram of the
bridal couple in gold
The east parlor was arranged with
rugs, divans, red lights and palms for
a smoking room.
A pretty feature Of the ceremony was
the large cornucopias made Of flowers
and wound about the necks Of the two
little flower girls, These cornucopias
were filled with pink rose petals which
were scattered before the bridal couple.

pUPlNc THE cowARpLY HYENA.
Way the Boer Farmers Deal with This
Troublesome Marauder.


Troublesome Marauder,
The farmers Of the Transvaal suffer
much from the hyenas, which are very
)old night robbers, and which make
raids, especially in winter, when their
opportunities for securing food are
rather scarce. They catch colts and
calves, and are bold enough TO visit
even the sheepfolds at night, with the
lvowed purpose Of appropriating a nice
fat mutton or Two. But they do this
only when driven severely by hunger,
The Boer farmers, however, have an
excellent and effective way Of coping
with this troublesome marauder,
Tho cowardly and untamable beast
Is easily duped. The farmer digs n
round pit about two feet in depth and
about eighteen inches in diameter. in
which he deposits n dead lamb. Then
he pegs a dry, stiff oX-hIde tightly over
he pit,
Next he cuts square hole a little
smaller than full-grOwn hyena's head
in the centre of the hide, just above the
middle Of the excavation, and removes
the cut-out piece,
Last Of all he Sits the hide diagonally
outward from the corners Of this hole
for about three inches, The four Sits
cause the unylelding leather surround
ing the hole to become equally springy
on all four sides.
The hyena, prowling round at night,
smells the carrion in the excavation,
and showing his nose into the hole in
the leather, uses a little pressure to
get his head down to the depth where
the dead lamb is
The four springy sides are obliglng
enough, and he has little trouble in
bending them. But by the time he has
a good grip on the caTrion the sides Of
the stiff hide have caught him behind
the ears.
When he attempts to eXtrlcate his
head, he is somewhat surprised to find
that the sides of the hide have very
little reflex action. He is literally in
a bad box,
OF course struggles ensue, but while
these struggles enable him to sit up
right by tearing the pegs out of the
ground, the foul nature Of his predlca-
ment becomes more evident to him.
All he can do is to sit erect, or stumble
awkwardly round, with a great, un-
wieldy collar of hard leather standing
out straight from his neck to the extent
of a foot and a half on every side Of
him.
He cannot possibly shake the collar
off, and it will not drop of. He cannot
walk or run with it.
All he can do is to back up and shake
himself, and this is about all he does
do during the whole night. His plight
is certainly humorous to the Boer
farmer, who finds him soberly sitting
on his launches when morning breaks.
But 1t is tragic to the hyena, for the
death sentence is the only one that the
farmer can, with justice to himself,
mass upon the captive.
