TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.
And Very Small One At That When Prop
erly Considered.

And now Elias Payn again hobs
up serenely" to demonstrate his inn
pOrtance to the body polite. His
grievance now is that the Anticipated
Bush exhibit has been placed in
charge of an organization of citizens
who will make the most of bygOne
memories by showing what has been.
BY consent of the County Commits
siOners, who were nominally in charge
of the exhibit, it was removed to the
Chamber of Commerce rooms, on that
excellent day for patriotic duty-the
4th of July-which causes the gentle
man with a decidedly foreign accent
to declare that patriotic memories
were "defiled by one OF the most
ghoulish and selfish acts of personal
and commercial greed that has blot
ted the fair capital city of great
commonwealth" Let us see; let US
analyze this wonderful statement a
little: "Ghoulish. A ghoul is de-
fined to be an imaginary being sup
posed to prey upon cOrpSes. Now
it is quite plain that those who had
81 ICNCICuCC Viz SOiiSN
ton" as to remove it to new quar-
tiers, had no idea it was corpse,
Notwithstanding its extreme age.
Selfish" is by no means the proper
word to use for an act that was pure
ly and plainly directed solely by de-
sire for public welfare. CONNER
cial greed" seems to be equally out
of place, and to not have the slight
est reference to the subject-matter
under consideration. And as for o
blot" on the fair capital city, by
the acts OF such men as DR.. CarlyOn,
President of the Chamber of Com
MERGE, Fred Schomber its efficient
Secretary so many years, and q few
devoted, self-sacriticing aids, if it be
that blot" is the proper term, it is
indeed a pity that we do not have a
few more such men to extend the
blotting process all over our local
record.

THE NEW TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
The Sunset Will Give Splendid Service 500
a Equipments Arrive.

Olympia will soon have cause to
feel proud of its telephone plant and
the improved service it will give;
The new building, which is a model
of thorough planning for the service,
has been completed several months,
and has only been waiting for its new
equipment, long overdue, and which
will be up to date in all respects.
The walls are of stone and massive in
proportions, the interior finish is
mainly in native woods, polished to
develop their fine grain. The main
floor is of imported maple. The base
ment is a handy workshop for all sorts
of repairs and contains the hot-water
heater which is capable of warming
all parts of the building, as well as
| Manager Doragh's residence on the
hill, half q block away. All the wires
will enter the building under ground
by four-inch conduits or pipes, made
of paper and bedded by sections OF
tiers in cement. The whole building
is amply lighted and each apartment,
it can readily be seen, is specially
adapted for speedy and efficient work.
