HARD TIMES,

Notwithstanding the. glowing
reports Of prosperous times
appeared in the daily papers. the
times are hard, very hard. and
there u nc immediate prospect
OF any change for the better.
There have been sweeping re-
ductions Of wages In the steeI
and iron industry. thousand Of
railroad employees have been
laid OF, and the mining condi'
tons were scarcely ever at SO
low an ebb.
Why are the times hard? Wha,
excuse Is there to Offer! The
country is tabu'ous!y rich with
resources, machinery Of every
Kind is at hand and there are
workers without number. and
YET the resources remain unde.

many Of them are actually suffer

ferred to cast their votes in sup.

in Districts
Population

Manager Ulm of the Troy steam
laundry reports more business being
handled by the laundry than ever
before in its history. The gain dur
ing the summer, indicating as it
does a steadily increasing population.
leads to the expectation that during
the fall arrangements will have to
be carried to conclusion for increase
in the machinery equipment and
capacity of the plant, already the
largest In the state.
The gain in business during July
and the preent month has been
particularly gratifying. In these
two months expectation is always en-
tertained of decrease in laundry
work by reason of so many families
and single men departing for their
summer vacations. This name of
exodus during the present summer
has been unusually large, notwith-
standing which the business has
gained very materially. Demonstrat-
ing that the population is making
decided growth. An excellent work
ing force is now in charge at the
Troy and good results being obtained
from the machinery equipment.

POETESS PRAISES FAIR.
Edna Dean Proctor, Revered by
Literary Men Sees the
A. Y. T.. Il.

SEATTLE, Aug. 19.-Edna Dean
Proctor, the New England poetess
whose works have covered two gen
erations, and who is now revered by
literary men as a surviving repre-
sentative of Americas greatest lit
erary period, has visited the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition and de-
clares it the most beautiful she has
seen in her long lifetime.
She came across the country from
Boston that she might see the ex-
position, the northwest and Alaska,
and was n of a party which in
cluded Joe Mitchell Chapple, of the
National Magazine, and Mrs. Chapple
and many other celebrities. She spoke
of her trip as follows:
Spokane first took my breath
away, | found it a wonderful city,
but now I feel Seattle still more
wonderful. There is none of the
crudity | expected to find in the west,
and it is almost impossible to believe
that such astonishing development
has taken place since / made the
journey to the coast on one of the
first Union Pacific trains in 1869.
Not only do I find the scenery of In
surpassed beauty, but the cities are
as progressive and attractive as the
cities of the east.
"The things that impress me most
at the exposition are its compactness,
its scenic location, and its floral dis
play. The first makes it easy to get
about without wearing oneself out,
