HUGHES PLANS SKAkEUP
Governor of New York Will Soon
Turn On x-Rdy of His Own
Special Design.

The men who have for many years
controlled" the public affairs of the
state of New York are not noticeably
jubilant over the announcement by Gov
ernor Hughes that he proposes to drag
into the broad light of day the doings of
state officials in recent years. They
argue that the dead past has buried it's
dead, and by all the sacred graveyard
tenets should now be let alone and left
unmolested forever But Mr.. Hughes
has announced that in his own good
time, and in his own X-ray manner, he
will search from top to bottom the de-
partments of the state. He will not sit
in his Office and send reports. He will
go in person into the cellars and attics;
he will use telescopes and microscopes;
radium rays and dark lanterns; chloride
of lime and altar of roses; forceps and
crowbars; moral suasion and dynamite;
Sunday school lesson leaves and Cat
ling guns; and, above all, the three
section, deep-sounding, triple action
probe with which he reached into the
very souls of the gas men and the in
surance men, and dragged unsound and
decaying secrets out by the roots.
Mr.. Hughes has not characterized his
purpose in just these words; but the men
who are to be investigated expect him
to come at them with all these things
They have heard of his racks and tor
ture chambers; some of them have been
stretched upon the one, and disciplined
upon the other.
Speaking more practically, Mr..
Hughes announces that he will keep his
word. He will overhaul the depart
ments from top to bottom. He will
have the more time for this because,
unlike most governors of New York, he
will not be endeavoring to manage the
legislature and the politics of the state
while also performing the duties of
governor.
Mr.. Hughes, in his investigation of
gas and insurance, came upon more
than one highly odorous trail leading
from New York city to Albany. Re-
cent references to check for $40, 900
said to have gone to the insurance de-
partment as a sedative against too
much security is an example.
Like an old hound on hot scent, Mr..
Hughes has bristled with desire to fol-
low these trails wherever they might
lead. His election to the governorship
has slipped the leash, and the indica-
lions are that before the Ides of March
there will be something doing in
Albany. I

In Spokane's fight for just terminal
rates, it has been proposed that she
form a combination with other east side
counties and, through their representa-
ton in the state legislature, block Sc
attle's 100000 appropriation for the
Alaska exposition, and Tacoma's desire
to become the state capital, unless
these two cities cease their fight against
terminal rates for Spokane. All of this
sounds well and looks well on paper,
but can it be realized? 1t will be found
impossible, we predict, to get all the
east side members into such a combina-
ton as Spokane suggests. Many of
the east side members are owned, body
and soul, in matters political, by the
west side politicians. This was proven
beyond all question two years ago, and
is as true today as it was two years
ago. The west side will stand together
on this matter, as it has stood on all
other matters touching it's welfare and
prosperity, and it has the strength to
wiz out in spite of even solid east
side combination, which, as we have
pointed out, is out of the question. 1t
seems to us to be the better plan for
the east side to not buster too much
about what it is going to do and what
it intends to keep others from doing,
but get to work and play politics lit
tile and work its measure through
with the commission through diplo-
macy, and not undertake to compel the
acquiescence of the Puget Sound cities
"a course which seems to us to be fore
doomed to failure. There are many
ways known to the politicians
those of Spokane county need no in
struction from us-by which these ends
might be secured in view of the many
important things that the Sound cities
have set their hearts on securing. A
condition might be brought about by
proper effort whereby the aid of Spo-
kane county would be almost necessary
to secure the passage of the measures
SO much desired by Seattle and Tacoma;
once this became fact she would then
be in a position to name her terms.
But she will never succeed if she under
takes to cOerce the west side.

State Is Large Land Owner.

E. w. Ross, commissioner of public
lands, has submitted to Governor Mead
portions of his biennial report con-
tanning interesting statistics regarding
the condition of the various granted
land areas of the state. The central,
though perhaps not the most important
fact in the report is that of the 1884,
036.21 acres granted to the state, only
236, 0S2.7l acres, or 1926 per cent, have
been sold. For the land sold the state
has received an average price per acre
of $15.15.
These figures are based on mini
mum figure for the area in the common
school grant. That grant is supposed
to include sections 16 and SO in every
township in the state which would
mean, in round numbers, 2,483, 400
acres in that grant alone. But there
has been losses caused by nature-a
body of water cutting into the section
line and the like-by the government
giving the land to a settler, by dis
covery of minerals, by forest reserves,
Indian reservations, military reserva-
tions, etc. These losses aggregate to
date $50, 528. SO acres, which brings the
total area down to 2, 1872, 671.67 acres Of
school land. But the state has secured
indemnity selections, taking the place
of losses, to the extent of Isl, 2S4. 81
acres, not including the Jefferson
county lands aggregating 22,765.27
acres recently secured by the decision
of the secretary of the interior. Thus
the area of the common school grants
set down at 1883, S56.2l acres, instead
of at the 2,432, 900 it should contain.
The indemnity selections pending at
the time of the report including the
Jefferson county lands amounted to
22l, 553.40 acres leaving 81, 76O. 80 acres
still due the state, with probability of
securing but portion of it.
The other grants to the state, were
as follows: Agricultural college, co.
600 acres; charitable, educational, PEN
al and reformatory institutions, 10O,-
600 acres There were 200, 900 acres in
the original grant, but 100000 were
given to the university by the legis-
lature of 1889 scientific school, 1000, 900
acres; university, LAG, 900 acres, in
GLIDING the 100, 900 from the charitable
educational, penal and reformatory
grant; normal schools, 100000 acres;
capitol, 1872, 900 acres these with the
1883, 956.21 of the common school grant
in sight, making up a total of 1852,
O36.21 acres. Olympia Recorder.

good advertising is to avoid all posi-
bility of giving your competitor any
mention in your advertising. This ap-
plies as well to your attitude toward
catalogue houses as to your local COM
petitor. They are busy telling your
customers that you can not compete
with them, and to make mention of
them, unless it be in an actual COM
parison of prices, by which you can
prove your prices lower than theirs,
only shows that you are afraid of their
competition, and gives credence to
their claims
Be specific in your advertising. Ad-
vertise the article you wish to sell.
Tell all about it. Merchants are apt
to overlook the fact that the public
does not know about the goods what
you know. Think what would induce
you to buy it. Put yourself in the Gus
toner's place. Everything you handle
can be described so that it will seem
to customer to be an especially good
article. Quoting from a mail order
catalogue, l will describe a scrub
brush which they sell for cents:
"White Tampico Scrub Brushes. Fin
est Mexican Tampico used in these
brushes. Will wear down to the block
without tufts coming out. Double
pointed blocks" Quite talk to de-
vote to Scent scrub brush, but it
sells them, and that is what you want
to do, SO don't be afraid to tell all
about the goods you advertise.
Your customers are at times COM
PEELED to spend few minutes in your
store waiting to have their wants
given attention. Have you prepared
your store to make their spare time
which they employ in looking around,
profitable to you? Goods tastefully
displayed and marked with neat price
cards, will make sales for you. Try it.
Illustrate your advertising. Good
cuts cost little, and add greatly to
the value of the ad. Properly illus
trated advertising matter is the near
est possible approach to showing the
actual goods and selling by personal

port of public library provided Mr..
Carnegie should give the money for a
building.
The second provision-the securing
of a suitable site free of incumbrance-
will call for considerable thought and
elaboration. There are sites and SITES;
some cheap, some dear, and no doubt
all have their claims to consideration.
But there is one thing that ought not
10 be the controlling factor, and that
is mere cheapness. Ritzville will never
have a chance to build but one Carnegie
library building, and after it is built it
will not be possible to move it. A mis-
take in location means a permanent
mistake and one that will impair seri-
ously the usefulness of the institution.
Now, in order to secure the most de-
sirable location it may be necessary for
the city to put up anywhere from So, 900
to $1,000. That looks like large sum,
but the heaviest taxpayers in the city
are in favor of the city's expanding
even that much to assure the most de-
sirable site for the proposed building.
Heretofore the city has not appropri-
ated a single cent toward the support
of the library. All the money that has
gone into books and running expenses
has been raised by private subscription.
Since the organization of the Library
& Improvement Association in Janu-
airy, 1903. the sum of $4,566 has been
raised among the friends of the library,
of which $2,O54 has been expended for
new books. There were about 500 vol
umes on hand, given by Mr.. Buchanan
and others when the library started;
and about 300 volumes have been given
since that time. So it is safe to say
that there are at present more than
So, 500 worth of books on the library
shelves. 1t was through the labors Of
the library association that Mr.. Carne-
gie's offer to give building was
secured.
Here, then, is the situation: The
library association came to the city
and offered to turn over So, 500 worth of
books, and, through Mr.. Carnegie,
$40, 900 for a building that will be an
ornament to the city and great adver-
tisement of it's resources. In other
words, the city was offered the sum of
SIP, 500 on condition that it will appro-
pirate sufficient funds to buy itself a
lot or lots for building site. 1t would
be hard to imagine better or more
profitable investment, since building,
books and lot will all become city prop
erty. The present city council, by TAX
ing prompt and public-spirited action in
this matter, have insured the coming to
Ritzville of $40, of Andrew Carne-
gie's money and at the same time make
Ritzville much better place to live in.

Good Sound Advice to Merchants.

But few years since, advertising
was in it's infancy; today it is a giant
force, one of the most potent factors
in the business world. And the end is
not yet. Not many years since, an adj
vertising man was looked upon as
trickster, mountebank; today adver-
Using is respected profession, with
out which business would stagnate,
says the Retail Merchants Journal.
A man we'll known in the advertis-
ing world relates an instance which
happened only ten years since, while
he was making trip through the
west. He approached the owner of
one of the largest stores in Denver
with proposition to write his adver-
Using for him, and was met with the
query, "Why?" He could not bring
that man to see why his card inserted
in the paper was not advertising, nor
that advertising properly written
would increase his business. That
same store today employs an advertis-
ing manager at salary of $1,000
year.
Country dealers are slowly awaken
ing to the fact that the old style card,
"John Jones, Dealer in Everything,
run in the local paper year in and year
out, just to help out the poor editor, is
doing them no earthly good and that
display ad. setting forth in man.
ner which brooks no shade of doubt
that John Jones is this week selling
an 18-cent calico at 10 cents per yard,
brings actual cash into the drawer.
And right here, let me say, it is high
time that they were waking up, for
their greatest competitors, the mail
order houses, are up and doing, and it
behooves the home merchant to en-
ploy all his wits to defeat them. Man
ufacturers of high grade goods, too,
are finding that their sales are decreas-
ing, through the lack of hustle by the
retailer who should be their distribu-
tor, and magazine and periodical pages
are filled with their advertisements
offering to sell direct to the consumer.
The retail merchant has the weapon
in his own hands and nothing remains
but to use it. He must advertise judi
ciously, persistently and consistently.
He must make his advertising fit his
store and his store fit his advertising.
He must spend money to make money,
and when once he has learned the
great lesson and guided himself and
his business out of the old rut into the
paved road of up to date methods, by
means of keeping for sale what peo-
pie want and of letting them know in
no uncertain way that he has it, his
smile will expand and the mail order
monster will cease to darken his door
forever more.

Now that Sidney Sloane is disposed
of, if the jury will bring in verdict in
the Thompson case at Tacoma and get
the case out of the papers, we will be
able to devote our attention to more
profitable matters in the daily press.
While it is, of course, necessary for
the press to report such trials, they
have very injurious and depressing
effect on society, especially among
young people whose minds are ripe for
the retention of much of this disagree
able matter.
