Another panic in 1881 caused a demand
for a financial change, and President An
drew JacksOn's opposition TO an extension
OF the bank charter was supported. HIS
fight against the bank is one Of the most
thrilling chapters in American political
history The charter was not renewed.
Then the State banks began issuing
money almost without limit. many of
them being organized for no other pur-
pose than 10 print bank notes. This
caused the great panic Of 1881. The peo-
pie then regretted their opposition to the
Bank OF the United States, and at the
next election JacksOn's party was defeat
ed and William Henry Harrison was
elected President. He died after a
months service and was succeeded by
John Tyler. Congress did its best 10
follow the panic with the usual legisla-
tiOn, and passed bills to recharter the
bank Tyler vetoed them and set his
face against the policy which Harrison
undoubtedly would have pursued Until

men in public life brave enough to face
the ghost Of Old Hickory. and declare for
the establishment Of central govern
ment bank.

Logged off Lands-The Jnoh0mish County Idea

In the Puget Sound Basin Nature produced the
most magnificent growth of vegetation upon this

and most varieties of fruits than grown upon
any other cultivated lands in North America

comfort and plenty thousands and thousands of ag-
riculturists, hortculturists, and dairymen.
The problem is: How to from the land
the obstacles left by the logger in the of the
agricuturist in the shape of logs, stumps and ref
of the timber harvest.
The fault is: That generally speaking the by
hand methods of clearing land practiced by the
eastern farmers, and which perhaps adapted to
the sparsely tmbered eastern sections have been
brought here and adopted by farmer emgrants
without consideration of the nadequacy
methods when applied to the enormous local forest
growths.
The remedy is: The substitution of steam power

energy, in preparing the loggers stubble-felds

rapid than the farm horse and human Drawn, and is
the only method equivalent to the ready and prof.

Application of the Snohomish Idea aims:

judgment blinded by Incorporate enthusiasm under

1t is not entirely new idea in some
respects. The wealth which accrues
from agricultural development has long
been appreciated in many commune
ties, although in the country west of
the Cascades, the value of the land
has been chiefly reckoned in the
amount of timber which could be log
ged off for milling purposes.
The full significance of the Snohom

is a community west of the Cascades
with as splendid tracts of heavily tim
bered areas as there are in the United
States, those who are engaged in pro
noting her development are not alb
sorbed entirely in getting more mills
and logging companies on one hand, or
in attempting to preserve their forest
resources on the other. They appre-
ciate fully the value of their tremen-
dous lumber industry, but they are

ON TAKING OFF YOUR HAT.

New Art Called For by the Seasons
FrlIIs in Millinery.
Women should learn how to take
of their new hats as we'll as how to
put them on, said woman who had
seen amusing sights at the matinee
because so many women didn't under
stand the art.
Two who didn't sat right in front Of
her. One wore a poppy covered poke
bonnet, with steamers pinned to her
hair just at the back of the neck.
After taking her seat she drew out
her hat pin and lifted her bonnet
briskly. AS she did so she gave little
cry of pain. She had forgotten the
streamers secured to the back of her
neck.
Holding her hat in her hand she
begged her friend to unclasp the
streamer pin. The friend stopped polk
ing about for hat pin in the forest
of bows, filling in the vacant space at
the back of her own forward tilted
creation, and released the streamers.
Then she went back to her poling
1t was no use. She had found all
the hat pins that she had run in the
front of her hat, but she just couldn'
find the one she had run through the
back. It was her turn to ask for as
sistance of her streamer friend.
The new hand rustled about a. bit in
the bows. Suddenly, with a flourish it
drew forth the pin
Too, suddenly for the heavy hat slid
down over it's wearer's face and bump

found it, was the indignant protest.
