SEATTLE is to have new theater
that will seat 2,7O0 people, to be
called the Coliseum. which term is
derived from a Latin and Greek root
signifying large and was first ap-
piled to the amphitheater finished by
Titus A. D. so, in Rome, which was
said to have been 630 feet in length,
513 feet in breadth and 100 feet high.
While the Seattle theater is con-
siderably less in size, it is probably
the largest public ass emily building
west of Chicago. The entire side of
the theater on Third avenue is to be
pierced with doors opening ON wide
runways to facilitate exit in case of
fire. Telephones connect the diff
ferent parts Of the great building SO
rs to keep the executive force in in
slant communication. The scheme
of decoration is green and gold.

LET Us HOPE IT Is TRUE.-Accord-
ing to the News the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul, and the Union
Pacific Railways, are about to estab-
lish headquarters here and build
shops and make Olympia the business
center of a system for the Puget
Sound and Northwest country, and
it claims to have inside" infOrma-
ton for the statement. Heaven grant
that it may be true; but we fear that
impetuosity of youth has led our
contemporary to use considerable
hot air" in this forecast. Olympia
had a boom early in the COS which
bankrupted many of her best citizens,
and the policy has since been to
advocate a steady and sure growth,
based upon palpable evidence of
progress, rather than upon the usual
grounds ascribed to faith, levi
dences of things unseen"

THE CHAMPION BREADMAKER IN In
LAND EMPIRE. J. w. Marshall,
of Spokane, has taken the first prize
for white and rye bread at the North
Yakima Interstate Fair. She is the
wife of the Commissioner of the U. S.
Court, and the exhibit made by her
was against the many samples of
bread submitted for competition. In
reply toa question as to her bread
making methods, she replied, II am
a housekeeper of the old school, and
l use old-fashioned methods. They
have been used by our mothers and
grandmOthers. I do not believe in
the 300 or 400 methods advertised for
modern or up-to-date baking. Bread
is something that cannot be hurried
in the making, if a good article is to
be the result"

Is 1T expected that any real pros
perity can come out of a policy that
leads to an increased tax-levy that
has so long been taking the very life
out OF our people? Is it not unwise
to afford another of those object les
sons that have hitherto debarred in
vestment, when rival town is spring
ing into existence at deep water just
beyond our city limits. Are we
of those who, having ears, hear not,
and having eyes see not, things
which so nearly concern our temporal
salvatiOn?" Let us call a halt. Now
is the time to demand pledges OF

What We Eat In the Shane of Maat

The SciHtifc .In.rricou of Auo
nth, by system of diagrams, illus
trates the amount of Meats We
Eat, for a single year, 1903 being
taken for showing by quantativc fir-
urcs the proportion of each. First
comes a gigantic OK, which is SUD-
posed to measure LBS feet from
shoulder to tail and 927 feet height
, to the back, and with other proper
tions to accord; the next is hog
1910 feet from snOut to tail and 6l2
ieet high; then comes the sheep, 666
feet from breast to tail and 500 feet
IN height. Smoked ham is repre-
scented by Il figure of Il ham 374 feet
in breadth and 499 in length, with
corresponding thickness; sausage Gin
case) length that would encircle the
world 8. times; "a barrel of salt pork
332 feet in diameter and 1875 feet high:
a can of pure leaf lard; 295 in diam
etcr and 334 in height; salt beef, by
a barrel 147 feet in diameter and 220
in height, and a can of beef 12S feet
in diameter and l45 feet high, to rep
resent the method of cmbalming."
These diagrams represent total di-
mansions in the aggregate of ill.,
SO becves, 30,977 500 hogs and TO-
49, 39 sheep. The fresh beef is rep
resented by hind and fore-quarter,
one 504 feet high and the other 1870
with a width of 28O and 29O feet
respectively. The cost of these pro-
duets aggregated $500, S66, 9G9, are
appOrtiOned as follows: Beef, $2S9,-
040, $50; hogs. 1929. 100, 4S0, and
sheep, $36, $50, 455.
The total value of beef sold fresh is
given at $247, O96, 724; canned 81
697 ,8l5, sailed or cured. So, 107, 9521,
and veal. $l2,S56,3 1863. Pork, sold
S91, 749,323; sailed, $1l6,626, 40;

age, $25, O56, 33l, and lard, 81, l16,-
991. Mutton; fresh, $40, $50, 455.
Then there is a product amounting
to about 500, 900, 600, resulting from
oils, fertilizers, hides, wool, etc. The
grand totals stand 1905, $50, 800 for
the material used, and 1913, 9I4 1924
the amount for which products are
sold, showing a difference of $10S,-
O57 $50 for labor and profit.
Such, in brief, is the Strengthening
and meat-packing industry of our
country for one year.

D. THE PEOPLE; MAKE THEM
PAY!-The city tax levy this year
has been placed at 15a mills, or a
raise of II mills over that of last
year, and q poll-tax is to be collect
ed to aid in making up the deficit
that has caused abandonment of
specie payments. This shortage is
attributed by member of the Coun-
Gil to extravagant OUTLAWS by a prev
iOus administration, but placing the
responsibility does not relieve the
community from paying interest on
an Indebtedness issue that should
not exist. 1t is, however, 4 proper
time to review the acts of our mu-
nicipal government with q view of
correcting such errors rs may lead
to a repetition of the disastrous tax
entanglements of bygone years,
which led to practical confiScatiOn of
private property.

A Cargo Of Manageable Maidens.

A late steamer, the Baltic, brought
over on her last trip to New York
from Europe, LOOP girls seeking for
husbands in this country where, they
have been told, life-partners may be
obtained by dropping of the hat.
They are ali said to be loving, pretty
and excellent cooks and housckeep-
erS. After arriving in New York,
most of them struck out for the West,
where it is reported women are
scarce and every man anxious to mar
ry. They all came over in the steer
age, which indicates that they were
at least able to make considerable
sacrifice for the object they are seek
tain. They are said to be of every
style of beauty, size, stature, COM
plexion, age and disposition, many
of them well educated and highly ac-
complished, and all they ask in re-
turn for these qualifications are low
ing husbands and good homes. Two
of the damsels have announced their
intention to seek our State, Washing
ton, and stop for while at Spokane
to prospect" their chances. All
right, girls; but don't forget that
the farther west you go, the better
are all home Notwithstanding hus-
bands. They should also be told and
bear in mind that a couple of decades
ago, Boston sent a supply of several
hundred manageable girls, to Puget
Sound, then Washington Territory,
Ostensibly for school marms, but they
were all snapped up so quickly that
very few ever obtained q position as
public school teacher, although many
of them taught private school-with-
out salary,

OvER-PRODUCTION OF HOPS. The
hop crop this year, according to Isaac
Pincus & Sons, of Puyallup, the lead
ing dealers in that product on this
coast, will be unusually large, ex-
ceeding that of any year since 1890.
The estimate for the four hop States
New York, California, Oregon and
Westinghouse 29O,O0 bales, and
there are about $4,000 bales of last
years crop still unsold, which will
leave surplus of about lao, 900 bales.

acreage next pear to maintain any
thing like remunerative price.

The emigration of SO many

be gotten, and are off to try
the same plan again else

not lost anything in the
drifting away of these pion-
GERS, since their places are
taken by the stayers, those

Yonr pioneer is generally

purpose ofmaking the county

draw by.
The pioneer is a creature

Weather.Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, June 3.-The abnormal
ly cool and cloudy weather continued
until the morning of June LIST, which
brought the summer type of weather
with promise of normal conditions.
The average daily deficiency of tenn
perature for the week was eight to ten
degrees, and there was excessive cloudi-
ness in the larger part OF the state
The rainfall was ample in all districts
and quite heavy in portions of the
central and south central districts.
But it came moderately, and the larger
part was absorbed by the dry subsoil.
The beneficial effects of abundant
moisture, followed closely by sunshine
and warmth, were visible in pastures,
meadows and fields of small grain.
The corn crop has made fair progress
considering the adverse conditions,
but reports indicate that the stand is
uneven, and somewhat more than the
usual amount of replanting will be
done. It needs period of warm, dry
weather. AT the best it is likely to fall
below the high standard of 1906
