Horace Greeley's
Forecast.

Horace Greeley, on his visit to
the Pacific Coast in 1859, made
this remarkable forecast of the flu
ture of the uninhabited desert re-
gion of Nevada in an overland
stage coach:
II have come across a desolate
and terrible country, a land seem
ingly worthless forever-the Great
American Desert. But l believe
hat the Almighty has created
nothing in vain, and as | have
passed over this awful region, the
thought has fixed itself in my
mind that. since it is useless for
every other purpose, it may be a
land of vast mineral wealth. If
that be so, it will take a hundred
thousand miners and a hundred
thousand years to oven prospect
this State.

State Prison Board Takes Important
Action.
Olympia, June 17.-Most of the 900
hundred prisoners Of the state peni-
Tertiary, and all hereafter to be SEN
fenced, except murderers, under the
new indeterminate sentence law, come
under the jurisdiction of the newly
created prison board. Gov. Mead has
also announced that all communica-
lions and pardon matters will also be
refererd to this board before the exec
utive will act.
The board has organized and made
up rules which include practically all
the rules of other states having inde-
terminate sentence laws, with special
changes made to fit the details of the
Washington law. A pamphlet is be-
ing printed containing copy Of the
indeterminate sentence law and these
rules.
The rules provide that prisoners
will be given parole upon majority
vote of the board, and that an appli-
cation once denied shall not be re-
opened within one year. Numerous
rules are laid down for the conduct of
prisoners on parole.

TACOMA To PUT BAN
ON THE FIRECRACkER

Tacoma, July 18.-Councilamn Al
exander Reed last night introduced an
anti fireworks ordinance in the city
council. The measure is said to be
favored by majority Of the council
men and will no doubt become law
with but little change. It prohibits
the use ont fireworks Of all kinds with
in the city limits, enumerating bombs,
fireorackers of all kinds, rockets, tor
pedoes and the placing of explosives
on street car tracks.
81 was in Toledo, Ohio, where prac-
tically the same law is in force, on
the Fourth of July last year" said
Mr.. Reed yesterday, 'and the city
had all the holiday attire of q patri-
otto picnic day, but without the objec
tionable features of f1recrackers and
constant din of explosions. 1t seems
to me that our civilization has out
grown this childish method OF cele-
brating the birthday Of the nation. and
I believe we should put stop to it. .

REPAIRING THE son.

How the Farmer May Increase the
Crops Of His Land.
All things are cyclic In nature. Such
things as beginning" and ending
serve merely to express human limfta-
tons, says writer in Appleton's.
It Is given to man, however, to
break in on the sequence of events In
good many Of natures cycles. By
blowing and narrowing the soil he rem
ders 1t still more subject to the attacks
of the elements, and by forced cropping
he robs it Of many Of its ingredients
But he is able also to make amends by
restoring to the soil in concentrated
form substances equivalent to those he
has removed. The three ingredients
that give him greatest concern are
nitrogen, phosphorus and potash. Ar
tificial fertilizers for the most part owe
their value to richness In one or the
other Of these constituents.

JUDGE WHITsON DECIDES SHORE
Land CASES.
Cases Will Go to Federal SUI

/. Lands for Benefit of Alaska
Yukon Pacific Exposition.

Seattle, July 13.-In the United
States district court yesterday Judge
Edward Whitson made ruling which
upholds the control of the state over
the lake shore lands below high water
mark. Judge Whitson sustained the
demurrer interposed ty the state
board of land commissioners to the
complaint of shore owners of Lakes
Union and Washington asking for an
injunction restraining the commission
from selling the shore lands. The
suits brought by the McGilvra heirs
and Peter Breslernare, therefore, dis
missed for want of equity.
O. G. McGilvra stated last night
that the cases would be appealed to
the supreme court of the United
States, hut this will tie up only the
particular land now under litigation
The outcome is hailed with joy by
friends of the exposition, who consid.
or that the funds for the great fair of
1909, to be raised from the sale of
these lands are now assured without
further litigation.

ington and Lake Union should be sold
by the state and from the proceeds to
appropriate 100000 for the Alaska
Yukon-Pacifc exposition and $500, 900
for state university buildings.
Believing that by virtue Of the fed
eral patent to the lands granted them
before the admission of the state into
the Union they owned not only the up
lands but also the shore lands out in.
to the lake, the McGilvra heirs sought
an injunction in the federal court re-
straining the land commissioner from
placing these lands on sale, alleging
that the state had no jurisdiction over
the government patents nor the shore
lands of non-navisgble streams. The
state interposed demurrer and de-
MED federal control. The demur-
rer was sustained, as was that also in
the case of Peter Bresslen.

GEORGIA To ADOPT
PROHIBITION Law

Atlanta, Ga, July 15.-January l.,
1908, Georgia enters upon a period of
state prohibition, joining Kansas, Da-
kOta and Maine, unless a miracle hap
pens between now and next Sat-
lrday. The Hsrdman prohibition
bill came up for passage before the
senate, and almost without a fight was
started on its way to become a law by
the decisive vote of "a to z. There
was faint hint of filibustering cam
aign on Friday afternoon, but Satur-
day morning the filibusterers were as
tame as sheep.
The Georgian is fighting for prohi-
bitlOn, the Constitution and the Jour-
nal are against it; the governor is for
local option, and the business element
in all the large cities is more or less in
taVor of local option, but the country
districts are strong for prohibition,
and even in the cities the anti-whisky
element is holding the Mhip hand.
At the present time there are 1875
Dry counties in Georgia the wet ones
oelng principally those in which are
heated large cities. Delegations from
Ine Dig cities have appeared before
senate and house committees, protest
ing against prohibition and stating
aat property would greatly depreciate
value and the measure would not
prohibit.
nevertheless, the opponents of the
MEASURE admit that it will pass the
uOose and be signed by the governor.
