sary, inform germany that the Moroc-

source Of deep anxiety to this govern
ment, since it exhibits tendencies
which threaten ultimately to require
Britain to dispute its further progress.
The statement has been confirmed
that in the event of Frances abandon
ing Morocco to Germany in preference
to risking war, the British govern
ment will oppose directly Germany's
plans.
It is categorically asserted that
Great Britain is ready at moment

MEAD RECOMMENDS
STATE REFORMATORY

Seattle, Feb. 27.-According to the
Post-Intelligencer, one of the princi-
pal recommendations Of Gov. Mead,
as result Of his visit TO the state in
situations of Colorado, Utah and Kan
sas, will be for the establishment of
an industrial reformatory to be estab-
lished near Seattle on Puget sound.
Gov. Mead stated yesterday that in
a general way the plan which he pro-
poses to submit is for the establish
ment of an industrial reformatory
similar to those at Elmira, N. Y, and
Hutchinson, Kan.
He will ask the legislature to make
the necessary appropriation for the
purchase of the building materials and
a tract of land on Puget sound near
Seattle, and proposes to have state
prisoners furnish all the necessary la
Dor, with the exception of such skilled
mechanics as are absolutely necessary.
While the plan which he has out
lined will in reality provide for q
Western Washington penitentiary, on
~ prisoners under 25 years Of age will
be sent to the institution. The in
mates will be trained in all the differ
emit trades and the first work along
this line will be in the construction
Of the buildings.
1.-THE penitentiary at Walla WaHa
is now practically taxed to its capac-
ity," said the COVER, nor land it is
necessary of the state to make addi-
tional provision for the care of the
criminal classes. At the present time
about three-fifths of the prisoners that
are sent to the penitentiary are from
the Puget sound country, and the es-
tablishment of an institution on the
Sound would mean q considerable sev-
ing in the transportation item.
1.-THE Industrial reformatories at Ell
mira and Hutchinson are two of the
finest institutions in the United States
and do q great deal towards making
good citizens out of young men who
are just starting on criminal career.
The establishment of an industrial re-
formatory on the Sound would answer
for the new penitentiary, which is
soon to be an absolute necessity.
II propose to make recommends
tions for changes in the manner Of
conducting other Of the state institu-
tions, which will be submitted to the
board Of control as soon as have had
time to outline the plans definitely

WASHINGTON STATE GRANGE.
A Very Thriving Organization That Gives
Promise of Much Good to Farmers

A Very Thriving Organization That Gives
Promise of Much Good to Farmers.
The Eighteenth Annual Convention
of the Washington State Grange was
held at Spokane, June 9Th, 9th and
7th, and very enjoyable and instruc.
tive time was had by all who attended.
Nearly every Grange was represented
and large number of visiting patrons
were in attendance.
good many resolutions were passed,
among them one asking the legisla.
ture to forbid the keeping OF saloon,
billiard or pool hall within five miles
OF the State College, at Pullman, and
one asking for an appropriation of 3d.
OOO year for Farmers Institute work.
The Masters address is a very COM
plete document and will be read with
interest by all patrons in the State.
We may we'll feel proud OF our young
Secretary, a girl OF II years, for her
work is very nearly perfect in every
respect.
The Washington Granger will be
published monthly the coming year,
by A. A. Kelly, our Lecturer, and it
will keep us informed in regard to the
work OF the numerous Oranges OF the
State.
There have beeu twenty -four Oranges
organized during the year aud one aim
will be to at least complete the fifty
within the period OF two years which
our present officers serve.
Our next meeting will be held at
Lynden, Whatcom county, and we
hope to have the State pretty thor
oughly sprinkled with Oranges before
that time.
Farmers must cooperate to win sue
cess, and the Grange is the best means
to that end, it being the most thor
oughly distributed of any farmers
organizations. FRED w. LEWIS,
Deputy Master.
