A Linen Shower.
For Miss Mullis

Mrs. G.. B. briggs, assisted by
Mrs. Gene c. Gould, gave most de-
Ightful ''linen shower" at the home
of the former Wednesday afternoon.
in honor of Miss Ada Mulhs, whose
approaching marriage is elsewhere
announced. Aside from Miss Mullis
there were twenty invited guests, all
married ladies. Both the parlor and
dining room were beautifully dec
Grated. Over the center of the din
ing table was large bell OF lilies
from which ribbons were suspended
to the corners of the table, upon
which a dainty lunch of cake and
fruit punch was served. From the
ceiling of the parlor an open umbrella
well covered with useful linen articles
was suspended and when Miss Mullis
was sea led underneath it was closed
and down came the welcome show
er." The party was pronounced by
the ladies present one of the most de-
lightful they have ever attended here.

Picnic In Honor
Of Biologists

If the weather is favorable this af-
ternoon it is proposed to have pub
lie picnic in honor of the university
summer school of biology, merely to
show the interest Of the people in the
work which has been SO quietly and
efficiently carried on here for the
past four years under the direction
of Prof. Kincaid and DR.. Frye. The
picnic will be held, weather permit
ting, lear Point Caution, on the mill
tary reserve, about the middle Of the
afternoon. Everybody is cordially
invited. Transportation will be pro-
vided free of cost. Those attending
will, of course, be expected to carry
lunches. Should the weather be un-
favorable the party will assemble at
the cannery buildings, partake of
lunch and enjoy little Symposium"
with the professors and students of
the laboratory.

ing ard create bank accounts. And
what is true here is true also in most
sections of western Washington. A
small tract of rich land, we'll titled,
will afford good living, but probably
not one fourth of the total acreage
bordering upon or contiguous to Pu-
get Sound can be prof tably subdivid-
ed, for purposes of cultivation, into
small tracts. A good many acres of
woodland or upland are necessary
to afford comfortable living g
to the average farmer and his
family and it is discouraging in the
extreme when he is robbed by mid
dlemen of half or more of the profit
which he ought to realize from his
produce. The P.-I. will render a
valuable service to the horticultural
interests of the state especially if it
will "camp on the trail" of the COM
mission men and see that they obey
the law enacted by the last legisla
ture and make honest returns to
their farmer patrons.

New Principal of
Schools Engaged

Prof. C. V. Pierce, the Minnesota
gentleman engaged as principal of
the public school nere at a salary of
800 month, has declined the place
and Mr.. Walter Nichols, young man
from the Bellingham Normal school,
has been engaged. The amount Of
fered Mr.. Pierce is $40 month more
than was paid to Prof. Joubert dur
ing the past two years. The grade
teachers are to be paid $50 month,
which is SO a month more than
they were paid during the first four
months of last year and S. more than
their salaries during the remainder
of the year.
Mr.. Murray having announced in
his printed platform at the time of
the school election that he would
favor taking the public into his conf
dence in the matter of the employ
ment of teachers, it may not be out
of place to inquire to what extent
this platform pledge has been full
filed? He was also quite pronounced
in favor of a union high school and
Director Larson went about the dis
trict industriously misrepresenting
the attitude Of the retiring director
upon this and other questions. It
seems pertinent, therefore, to inquire
what steps, if any, have been taken
toward the organization Of q union
high school and also how many grades
Of high school work it is proposed to
carry here during the coming school
year?

COURT HOUSE
IS DETECTIVE
Reinforced Concrete floors Of Second
Story Have Settled
Assessor Obliged to Vacate His ONCE.
Floor Now Supported BY Posts
Set Underneath the Ceiling OF
Commissioners Room.

The concrete floor of the assess
~ or's Office in the court Eouse,
over the commissioners room, has
settled so appreciably that the room
has been vacated and temporary sup
ports have been put up under the
ceiling below, and settling of the
floors is quite apparent in other
parts Of the building also. Ever since
the contractor took the unwarrant-
able liberty to substitute ordinary
field stones of all sizes, laid in weak
lime mortar, without any cement, for
the solid concrete foundation called
for by the specifications, there has
been much complaint about the faulty
construction of the building. The
fout dation was finally accepted upon
the assurance of the architect that it
was sufficiently substantial, but he
denied most emphatically that he had
told the contractor that the substitu-
tion would be satisfactory.
Before the building was completed
the floor of the room over the COM
missioners' Office, the same one now
again proven defective, gave way, at
the same time that the floor of the
court room, over the auditors Office,
collapsed. It was represented at the
time that the mishap was due solely
to the removal of the supports UNDER
meath before the concrete, reinforced
by wire, had time to thoroughly
harden. The two floors were rebuilt
by the Franklin Fireproofng Com
pany, of Seattle, which had the sub
contract for the fireproo6ng, and the
work was accepted after the floors
were subjected to the weight test
prescribed by the architect and or
dinarily considered ample proof OF
strength.

Making Money by the Clock.

1t has been figured out by able stats.
ticians that Mr.. Rockefeller grows
$1.9O richer every time the clock
ticks. Some men who care for money
might be tempted to oil the clock and
make it tick faster. but Mr.. Rockefel
Ter isn't that kind of q man.
Rumor hath 1t, too, that he can buy his
oil at wholesale rates. but that doesn't
tempt him. At his age his wants are
simple, and he knows that at $1.9O q
tick he can get everything he wants
without having to buy anything on
tick.
Suppose he did happen to see some
thing that he wanted and found him
self about $40 short. All he woulo
have to do would be to fool around
five or six minutes pretending to in
yestigate its merits and at the end OF
that time he would have made enough
so that he could safely tell the clerk
to wrap it up.
However it may have been in his
younger days, Mr.. Rockefeller does not
new find it Improbable to watch the
clock.

RICHMOND MARKETS

EGGS cropped five GEMS on the doz-

statements OF a grocer they will again
raise IL the cold weather continues
during the week. The egg market at
the present time is governed largely
by the weather. During the cold
weather egg packers get a good price
for their products, but as soon as warm
weather begins, or even shows the
slightest sign of remaining several
days, these packers rush their prod
ucts upon the market hoping to re-
trench before they are obliged to sell
heavily at low prices during the warm
er months, when hens are laying in
plentiful quantities. The wholesale
price for good country eggs at the
present time is 20 cents per dozen,
while storage eggs are selling for Is
cents. The supply of packed eggs Is
large and although the prices are high
all varieties of the hen fruit are selling
briskly.
