NEW COUNTY CREATED

Made-Railway Advertising

OLYMPIA, Feb. 21.-The Cheha-

this morning, 80 ayes and 3 nays. 1t
carries with it an emergency clause
and will be sent to Governor Mead
What he will do with it will depend
upon the showing the anti-division-
lists make. He has been flooded with
kilograms that the big interests of
Grays' HarbOr protest against divi-
sion. The men who are opposing the
bill at home are such high characters
and represent such substantial in
terests that Governor Mead will give
every side of the matter full consid-

are no daily papers, it is required
that the schedule be published in the

Why Cats are Bad Playmates for
Children.

Of all domesticated animals, cats
if the census man could only count
them-would number more than any
other In almost every household
we find one that has been adopted
as a pet.
Extreme caution should be taken
in the nursery. If children are per-
mitted to have kittens or cats as
playmates, they often get scratched,
sometimes bitten, by the offended
pet. In such cases a little amonia
should be applied to the wound, as
it is a mild form of cauterizing it.,
and this precaution should be taken,
because a cats claws are not always
clean, and dirt always gives trouble
in wounds.
Another childish habit should be
checked-namely that of kissing
their cat or kitten pets, as this habit
may prove very dangerous. Cats are
culpable carriers of infection, and in
cases of illness should be kept very
strictly from the vicinity of the sick
room. Many painful forms of skin
diseases owe their origin to the habit
of fondling cats, and very often the
spread of disease is brought about
by a cats rambling habits.
A cat should never be allowed in
a room near an infants cot. lest it
should sit upon the child's face an"
cause suffOcatiOn. Many cases are
known in which this has happened
in the absence of mother or nurse.
The cat seldom attempts to do this
when anyone happens to be near by.
Children should, however, not be
entirely denied the pleasure of pet.
Many children would rather have a
cat than doll or dog. 1t which
case it is always safest that the pro-
per kind of cat be selected and that
the cat be given the proper care
and treatment
Black, gray, tiger-marked and tor
tise-shell cats are considered more
playful and intelligent than their
maltese, angora or manx brethren.
White cats are more often believed
to be more savage and less intelli-
gent.
Feeding cats should also be done
with care. Unlike dogs, cats should
receive their raw meat but sparing-
ly. Milk should constitute at least
third of their food. Catnip should
be given about twice 4 week.
The impression seems to be gen.
eral, that cleanliness among cats il

SAYS FIVE MILLION is ENOUGH
Chicago Grain Man Gets All of This
Worlds Goods That He Wants
and Then Retires

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-Edward NJ.
Higgins, vice-president of the Ar
mour Grain company, a member of
the board of trade, and regarded as
the most expert judge of grain in the
world, has acknowledged his retire
ment from business at the age of As
years, on the unique ground that he
has made enough money and wants a
life vacation
He thus becomes the first man in
ChicagO's history and one of the few
in the commercial history of the Unit
ed States who, while comparatively
young and in the full enjoyment of
health, and in a commanding posi-
ton in a trade which would enable
him to amass millions, has with
drawn deliberately from the fascinat-
ing game of money-getting for the
simple reason that he has enough,
which means 100000.
When he became a member of the
board of trade in 1880 he set a def
mite limit to his financial ambitions
He declared at his entrance into bust
ness that if he ever made $1,000
600 he would retire.

MOrmOns are Rejoicing

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. AL
Among the active Republicans and
the leaders of the Mormon church
there was great rejoicing yesterday
afternoon when the news came from
Washington that Senator Smoot had
been sustained. BY an unanimous
standing vote the lower house of the
Utah legislature adopted the follow
ing resolutions:
BE it resolved by the legislature
of the state of Utah that in deter
mining that Hon. Reed Smoot is en-
titled to his seat, the United States
senate has stood for constitutional
rights against powerful influences
and has avoided dangerous prece-
dent
Therefore, the thanks and the
congratulations of the state of Utah
are hereby extended to the senate
for it's final action in this cas-.
Personal congratulations are sent
to Senator Smoot and his colleague,
Senator Sutherland, and to the other
senators who spoke and voted in pro-
lection of the rights of the state of
Utah"

Weather Bureau Station at POgue
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Repre-
sentative Jones has taken up with
the weather bureau the question of
establishing weather station at
Pogue, Okanogan county. Chief
Moore, of the bureau, informed the
congressman that there is station at
Conconully, said to be not more than
20 miles away, and in view of the
rule governing the distribution Of
equipment in the way of instruments
the Pogue station could not be put
into operation. 1t is now up to the
citizens of Pogue to show that Con-
conully is more than twenty miles
away, and if they can do this to the
satisfaction OF the bureau, Jones
is hopeful of getting the station es-
tablished.
