Anti-saloon Fight in washington.

Olympia, Wash, June 1.-THE local
option law passed by the last session
of the Washington legislature is to
come into effect tomorrow. Already
the anti-saloon forces of the State
have taken the preliminary steps look
ing to a vigorous campaign, which
will have as it's ultimate aim the plac-
ing of Washington in the dry" coll
umn.
Clarke county, in the southwestern
part of the State, will probably be the
battle-ground of the first local option
conflict. In Vancouver, the county
seat, both sides, are now organizing
for the conflict. A petition for local
option election will probably be filed
next week, and the election will be
held the latter part of August or early
in September. The county has a pop
ulation of $4,000. Vancouver, with q
population of about 10000. has twenty
saloons and large brewery plant.

COSTLY PATRIOTISM.

Concerning two of those steamers
which the Pacific Mails Steamship
Company recently ordered constructed
at Newport News at cost OF $l,SIS'-
O2S each, including certain extras and
interest during construction, the ed1-
tor of the New York Commercial
printed the other day an interesting
story.
1t appears that Edward H. Harri-
man, head of the Steamship Company
was informed by the vice-president OF
that company, Mr.. Schwerin, that he
had sought to ascertain the cost or
building in England such ships as the
company required and had been IN
formed that a steamer $40 feet long
could be built in that country for
$4,000 although the bids Of British
shipbuilders varied from the sum
mentioned up to $1,2O0,OOO.
For the same sort of steamer, we
are told, the Union Iron Works, OF San
Francisco, asked 81, ,35O,0OO, or $55O,OOO
more than the British builder who bid
lowest. The result is that the New
port News Company is building the
steamers and a great many American
mechanics will be working on them
for a year or two to come, contrib
uting to the prosperity of all in this
section by expending hereabouts the
product of their labor.
1t is said, and has not been denied,
that Mr.. Hartman declines to place
orders abroad for ships, has all re-
pairs upon his steamers made in this
country, employs American citizens
whenever possible and has resolutely
refused to sail them under foreign
registry, which he easily might do,
despite the fact that the operation OF
the line shows a deficit of about $780,
600 a year.
That is costly patriotism, but 1t Is
the sort which is likely to be highly
appreciated by the people of Newport
News and indeed of all this section. II
would, in fact, be strange were not all
Americans to appreciate it.

There is to be the joy of camp life
for the soldiers of North Carolina af- |
ter all the doubt in the matter, it be-
ing decided yesterday that each of the |
regiments would encamp separately |
for seven days each at the State caInp
grounds at Morehead City in July.
This action was agreed upon yester-
day at a meeting of the board of the
North Carolina National Guard, con-
sisting of Adjt.-Gen. J. F. Armfield,
Brighten. B. S. Royster, QuarteFmas-
ter-Gen. F.. A. Macon, Col. J. f. Card
ner of Shelby. Col. Fl. C. Brogdon of
Washington, and Col. J. N. Craig of
Reidsville
This advisory board took up the
matter Of the cost of equipping the
North Carolina National Guard by
January, 1910, and found that it would
be possible to hold an ancanpment.
Previously it had been feared that the
cost of equipping the State Guard
would be such that it woull be iJnpos-
sible to hold an encampment this year,
as has been the arrangement in Sol tn
Carolina and Virginia That there is
to be an encampment will be source
of great pleasure to all the military.
1t was decided that each of the
three regiments would encamp for
seven days each at Morehead City, the
encampment being held by regiments
as tn rifle range is not of sufficient
size to accommodate practice by all
three regiments at once.
The encampments will each be for
seven days, and all will take place in
July. While it is not yet officially
given out these encampments of seven
days each should be held on the fol-
lowing dates: Second Regiment, July
3 to 10; Third Regiment, July Is to
%; First Regiment, July 26 to August
2. The official dtaes have not yet been
given out by the adjutant-general,
who says, however, that the Second
Regiment will be the first to encamp

The matter was talked over by the ad-

use this for improving the grounds al
Morehead City, where the three en-,
campments will be held this year.
Plans for the Artillery branch O
