Complete Set Of BIacksmith's Tools
Found in Crotch # Tree.

CHEHALIS, Jan. 5.-Reports Of a
most remarkable discovery come from
Alpha, a prosperous settlement about
twenty miles east of Chehalis. Recent
ly while out hunting a party of Alpha
men noticed some peculiar looking OBJ
jects in the crotch of large forked
fir tree. The fork not being very high
above the ground, they were able tc
climb up and investigate, and to their
surprise found complete kit of black
smith tools, even including the bellows
The pieces were much rusted and
showed that they had been there a long
time
There is nothing on the outfit by
which it might be identified. On the
anvil was found the words, Norway,
1929" and also the name, Ludwig
La, the remaining letters not being
legible. The outfit is now in the pos
session of Greil Bros, prominent
Of Alpha.

minutes after 1880 o'clock last night
fire broke out in the Golden Rule store
in the Clopton building between Court
and Water streets, and practically gut
ted the building besides destroying the
entire stock Of dry goods. clothing and
notions carried in the Golden Rule.
The fire department. quickly respond
ed at the first alarm and a few min
utes after the fire had started the
firemen had the flames under control
The fire seemed to be almost extin-
guished several times, then the flames
would shoot into the air as if caused
by explosives of some sort. The fire
department worked assidiously and
within an hour the fire was entirely ex-
tinguished.
The building owned by F. B. Clop-
ton, was built several years ago, being
a one story brick. It's estimated value

Golden Rule store was estimated by

HOME FOR THE COMMERCIAL
CLUB.


1.-THE building of $4,000 home for
the Commercial club Is most worthy
project and, it deserves the support of
every business man AMI every other
progressive citizen Of Walla Walla. For
many years the business men Of Wal
la Walla have been called upon to con-
tribute money for all sorts of projects
and enterprises, many of them of only
remote interest or benefit to them
selves. Now they have a chance to
do handsome thing for themselves by
aiding in the building of a nome for
the Commercial club, where all may
meet for social pleasure and recrea-
ton as we'll as for the discussion of
topics of public interest. There should
be membership of 500 business and
professional men in the Commercial
club and if each of that number would
contribute from $50 to 500 for +. the
purchase Of suitable site and the
erection of building, home could be
provided that would be credit to the
city and the pride of all our people.

FLOATING NEW YORK.

Il think it will be admitted that
nothing has done more toward making
New York the money center of the
| world which it is rapidly becoming
than the three great insurance COM
panies of New York CITY,"
The above is quotation from an
address made by Gage E. Tarbell, vice.
president of the Equitable, in Boston,
recently Mr.. Tarbell undoubtedly
spoke the truth, but why he should
tell Boston this is best known to Mr..
Tarbell himself. One would suppose
that a shrewd insurance man, particu-
larly in view of recent developments,
would conceal rather than call atten-
| ton to the fact that New York gets her
money supremacy from the insurance
companies, for the insurance companies
get their money from all parts of the
country, even from Boston. 1t may
CAUSE bOStOu " pI1Ch ny IlcI CdIo "
have it dinned into them that she is
sending her good money to New York
in the shape of premiums in the fur
therance of the supremacy of city
which is still in a measure a rival of
Boston.
To have the fact thrust in her face
that a competitor. is being unduly
stimulated at her own expense is quite
as likely to make Boston view with
alarm as to point with pride"
The same is true of every other city
in the country. They are all conscious
today that in supporting the three
great i. e., large) New York insurance
companies they have been contributing
York, but to the rise Of system
which they detest. These three insur-
ance companies having made them
selves an adjunct of the vast gambling
machine known as the New York Stock
Exchange, with all that that implies,
the people are not pleased with the re-
suits. The object of paying insurance
premiums is to obtain insurance, not
to bolster New York or any other
money center The insurance COM
panies have only trust relationship to
the funds in their hands, and that re-
lotiopShip 4, not paceSSa ri1v connected
with the supremacy of New York.
The proper expectation of the policy
holders is that the trustees will in
vest these funds in the best securities
obtainable and while there is nothing
in the contract to guarantee it, there is
reasonable expectation that the in
surance companies will make their in
vestments all over the country.

BONDSMEN MAY SURRENDER
MARTIN AND NOSE TAYLOR HAVE
TWENTY DAYS TO ASK FOR
NEW HEARING.

PENDLETON, Ore, JAM 5.-As a
result Of the decision just given in the
cases of Grover Martin and Moses
Taylor, both of those parties must now
serve the penitentiary terms to which
they were sentenced by Judge Ellis
10 years for Martin, and two for Tay-
lor. However, 20 days is allowed the
defendants in which to file motions for
renearing, and it is presumed this time
will be taken, though it is known the
motions would be overruled.
Both parties are now out on bail, and
District Attorney Phelps has notified
the various bondsmen of the supreme
court decisions. Consequently, it is
probable that the bondsmen will desire
to surrender the defendants and thus
be relieved of further responsibility.
Much interest has been taken in
both the Taylor and Martin cases. In
the former especially, have the local
attorneys been interested because of
the legal point involved. The entire
case against Taylor hinged upon the
question Of whether or not Taylor at
tempted to commit arson when he
planned to do so. Among many it was
believed that the decision would be re-
versed. AS a result, District Attorney
Phelps is pleased over the victory won
by the state.

The annual meeting Of the North Pa

Portland Wednesday, for the purpose
Of arranging for the 1905 season. It is
expected in addition to the naming of
dates the various associations will be
in a position to announce their closing
stakes, in order that horsemen can
commence training with the main
events in view.
The meeting promises to be an inter-
divide the district, making two dis
tricts. It.has been suggested that, one
district comprise the cities of Walla
Walla, Pendleton, La Grande, Baker
City and Boise, while the others would
comprise the cities of Seattle, Port
land, Salem, Everett, North Yakima
and Lewiston.
Spokane may go to Portland with the
intention of forcing matters to secure
earlier dates than in the past but if
the members Of the Oregon state fair
are firm, spokane will have to back

races will doubtless follow Immediately

Very few congressman receive in

to ameliorate the condition Of the

Kansas City Star recently published
the story Of how a constituent Of Sena-

to step over to the pension building and
get a pension increased and then go
over to the fish Office and have some
trout seed sent to Minnesota right off.
When he finished with these errands he
was to go to the postmaster general
and have a certain man named post

to see the member of congress as the
Servant OF. the people" The people
do not all want the same thing. But
they all want something which will
benefit them, and while we may smile
at the bland and childlike selfishness
Of these little personal demands, yet
they are much less resonant of danger
than the personal appeal of the big
constituent for more tariff, more law to
make me- richer and my neighbor
poorer. We should think that con-
gresham after all would rather read
the Grabbed lines and the innocent re-
quests Of their little constituents.

Money Maintains Ratio With Number
of School Population.

OLYMPIA, JAN 5.-Washington's
school funds are keeping pace with her
growth in school population, accord
ing to the records of the state super
intendent of public instruction. The
extra earnings from interest on the
permanent school fund, the rentals
from and interest of contracts of sale
of school lands, together with the in
creased property valuations, made pos
slble last year a higher apportionment
of state school funds than was thought
possible, in spite Of the growth in
school population.
School funds of the state are amor
toned on the basis of days attend

ments being made quarterly. The 1905
appointments were respectively.
February, 1.27 cents per days attend
