Memento from StonewalI Jack.
sons Grave.

The following interesting story
is taken from the report in The
Brownwood, (Texas, )Bulletin of a
recent meeting of the Stonewall
Jackson Camp of that place:
DR.. Steel, chaplain of the camp,
exhibited a memento from Stone
wall Jackson's grave, sent to
him by DIR. ]. J. Lafferty of Vir-
ginia. 1t is a tiny acorn made
from the root Of a tree that grew
on Jackson's grave. Accom-

gentleman in Cincinnati sent

planted by the tomb of the Con-
federate warrior, in the ceme-
terry at Lexington, Va. 1t made
rapid growth, and in wears dis
turbed the modest mound. In
1884 Mrs. jackson directed its
removal. The sexton opened the
earth, and the company present
found that the roots had gone
directly to the coffin, entered
through the crevices of the de
caying casket and embraced by
curious curves and bendings, the

the South. Sections of the
tree were presented to th'

A map of North Carolina was
displayed showing the amount of
land reckoned as swamp land.
There were % counties in the
list, involving a total of 4,5O5
square miles.
State Forester w. w. Ashe
spoke on drainage and forestry
and stated that timber will thrive
better in a moderately dry soil
and consequently drainage is
good for the conservation of
forests. The land now practical
ly useless as swamps will easily
provide for 100, 200 people. Tim
ber land under drainage can be
developed to make a paying
investment and lands that can
not be drained should be used
continuously for timber growth.
The thicker the trees grow, the
better the quality and the diff
ference in quality makes a pro-
portional difference in price.
Legislature protection is needed
for forests as much as for cities
and unless it is given the forests
will be greatly injured.

newspapers appear unable to explain it
correctly. Thus only last week bright
weekly newspaper published in the city
q Seattle, and devoted largely to pol
ticT, explained that all voters must vote
ioT both first and second choice on "all
state Offices" This provision Of the al.
rect primary law, of course, applies only
to state and congressional offices. and
then only when there are more than
three candidates for the same office.
Thus if there were only three candi-
dates Tor governor the second choice
provision would not apply. But with
Tour or more candidates for this office.
each voter must vote for both a first
and second choice. Ii he fails to desig-
nate both a first choice and second
choice, then his vote is not counted at
/ Tor that particular office.
For secretary of state there will prob
ably be only two candidates, and in that
case only one is to be voted for. For
land commissioner there will probably
be four candidates, making the second
choice provision apply to that office.
There are also four prospective candi-
dates for attorney general For state
auditor there may be only one candi.
date, which illustrates the absurdity OF
saying that the voter must vote for a
first and second choice "for all state
Offices"
The leading candidates for each Office
are opposed to the second choice proyi-
sion OF the law. This is because of the
Iact that, while strongly backed on first
choice, they will naturally get few second
choice votes. The reason for this is ap-
parent; neither one will support the
other his strongest rivel-for second
choice, and the voters generally who
favor them will do so as first choice, and
will be for an outsider on second choice.
Thus If neither OF the strong first choice
candidates can poll in the neighborhood
Of forty per cent first choice votes, the
nomination is quite likely to go to the
candidate who is strongly backed for
second choice
An effort will be made to take the
second choice provision into the courts
before the date Of the primary election,
with the hope, on the part of it's oppo-
nents, OF having it knocked out. 1t is
said that the method will be for tax
payer to mandamus the county auditor
of his county and ask the courts to for,
bid him to print the second choice pro-
vision on the ballots, on the ground
that it is unconstitutional.

ISLANDS OF THE SOUND
Possess Advantages of Soil.
Climate and Scenery.
Island County and It's County Seat =
Uncle Sam s Forts at the
Sound Entrance.

Coupeville, June 8-(Special to The
Gazette )--COupeyille is the county seat
oi Island county. WILDLY Island and
CAmanO Island constitute Island county.
The town is beautifully situated on
Penn's Cove, an indenture Of several
miles on the west side OF WILDLY Island,
nearly opposite to Port Townsend, the
entrance to Puget Sound-the begin
ing the lower Sound and extending with
slight interruption to Seward Peninsula
on Bering Sea. These lower Sound
islands are noted for their great fertility
Of soil, even temperature of climate,
beautiful home surroundings, scores of
land-lOcked harbOrs and the majestic
mountain scenery that looms up on all
sides. A short sketch at this time must
he confined to WILDLY Island, by far
the largest filing the waters OF Puget
Sound and facing the Strait of Juan
de Fuca, the entrance to this inland sea
from the ocean.
WILDLY Island is over 40 miles in
length in an air line. It ia between so
and 60 miles long following the meander
lines, and has a littOral Of over 200
miles. Like all the shores of Puget
Sound and the many islands hereabouts
it has many bays, coves and iDdentures
OF sparkling beauty, that in any other
part of the globe would be valued as

on the Island is y miles and the widest
part is II miles. 1t will thus be seen
that it contains many broad acres,
affording many happy homes to large
and prosperous population. WILDLY

one of his officers during his memorable
trip Of discovery over 100 years ago,

NEW HOME FOR VETERANS.
Now Building at Port Orchard on

a blueprint map III the grounds and

ton Veterans Home, now under construc-
tion at Port Orchard was shown The

Orting and is located three quarters OF "A
mile from the town Of Port Orchard and
mile from the Bremerton navy ward.
The location il 4 slightly one, easy of ac
cess, and with the plans for grounds and
buildings carried out will be a model
home for the old soldiers. Willis l.. Ames
Is commandant, Colonel Letter having
had charge of the grounds until the com
mandant was appointed
With the 500, 900 appropriated by the
last legislature a power plant has been
built, water and sewer systems put in
and one Of l6 cottages constructed.
These cottages, which are for the use Of
veterans having wives, will be two stories
high and SO divided az to provide living
apartments for eight cOupes-four
couples on each floor. The cottages will
have baths and other modern conyen-
fences on each floor. Lack of accOmmo-
dations Tor veterans wives at Orting has
kept out OF the Home there many who
would otherwise have sought its shelter.
This will be remedied at Port Orchard by
the use OF the cottages, all of which will
have suitable grounds and surroundings.
Upon the death of an occupant of "A cot
tage, either husband or wife, the survivor
of the couple will be cared for in what is
called the old peoples home of which
there will be two, one for each sex. 1t will
thus be seen that provision is being made
for the proper care of our country's de
lenders and their cOnsOrts as they pass
into the evening of life.
In addition to the structures mentioned
there will be an old veterans home build
ing, dining hall and hospital also
parade ground. A good start on the
Home has been made and the next legis-
lature will be asked to appropriate suf-
fcient sum to complete the work, which
should be forthcoming.
