The Washington
ChiIdren'S Home

In connection with his sermons in
the two churches here last Sunday
Rev. c. G. Pratt gave an interesting
talk on the work of the Washington
Chrildren's Home at Kavenna Park,
Seattle, with which he has been close
Iy identified as district superinten
lent for the past two years or more.
The home is supported entirely by vol
untary contributions and is doing a
splendid work in providing homes for
homeless children and children for
childless homes. During the past
year GAL children came under the So
iety's care. 341 for permanent and
300 for temporary assistance. Since
the society was established in 1896
about 1850 children have been receiv-
cd for permanent care, almost one
half of them coming from King and
Pierce counties. containing the two
largest cities in the state. The figures
emphasize fact we'll known to sociol-
ogoists that there is much less pov
erty and indigence in the agricul-
tural communities of this state, in
proportion to population, than there
is in the cities. Of the 1850 child
rem received into the home in twelve
years only two we're from this county.
The utmost care is exercised to
place children only in Chri s t a n
homes, where the influences surround
ing them will develop the best that is
in them and the society does not per-
NIT their legal adoption until it's rep
resentatives are satisfied that they are
happily situated and will be we'll car
ed for In every way. During the past
year fine new receiving home was
built at cost of $4,000. and $4,000
is now needed to furnish it properly
and install heating and lighting facil-
tiles. The generous people of this
county can we'll afford to help in this
good work. Contributions given to
Mr.. Pratt will be gratefully received
and judiciously used.

along the Andes, it crosses the othe,
belt in the Central American region.
hence it extends up the wsetern coast
of North America. passes across to
Asia along the Aleutian chain, then
down through Kamschatka, the Japan
ese islands and the Philippines. and
crossing the Mediterranean belt in
the East Indies extends on to New Zea
land. Forty-one per cent of all re-
corded shocks occur in this belt.
All the rest of the world-that is.
a surface scores of times greater than
the combined area of these two belts
is the seat of only 6 per cent of re-
corded shocks.
But Professor Ralph S. Tarr. pro-
lessor Of dynamic geology and physi-
cal geography in Cornell university,
shows that the regions outside these
belts are not entirely immune. He
has this to say, in an article in the
North American Review, on earth
quakes in the United States:
"Eastern United States has indeed.
been visited by one earthquake which,
so far as can be judged by the meager
descriptions handed down to us, must
be classed as of the first rank. This
earthquake. commencing late in the
year 1911. devastated part of the
Mississippi valley south of the mouth
of the Ohio.
''The descriptions of the pioneers
make it clear that. should such a
shock recur in the now we'll settled
region. the destruction of life and
property would be appalling.
"That the earthquake forces have
not entirely died out in this region
is proved by the fact that other shocks
of lesser strength have visited it since
1872"
"There are good reasons. declares
Prof. Tarr. "for believing that severe
earthquake shocks are liable to occur
in the great Basin and Rocky Noun
tain region"

Income from Inheritance Tax

Income from Inheritance Tax
Washington's Inheritance tax law
is producing an annual income OF
$4,000 according to the biennial
report of the state tax commission now
in preparation. This shows that DUR
ing the first four yaers the law was in
operation. ending June 13, 1905, the
total receipts rom this tax wero
s53.175. 5.35. Later this collection
was placed with the tax commission
and in the two years ending June 80.
1908. the commission turned into the
Treasury s11.022.81, with 2,274
cases for the collection of the tar
pending in the courts. Foreign coun-
tries have protested to the national
secretary of state that q law passed
nv the last legislature violates treaty
agreements in that it levies heavier
tax on properties passing to non resi-
dent foreign heirs than Is levied whero
the heirs reside in the United States.
However. the commission declares
the law is model one. and the only
amendment suggested is one requiring
comics Of inventories Of all estates to
ha sent to the commission. The conn
mittee will recommend new law
which will cut off the right Of inheri-
t.pca Of collateral heirs beyond tho
third degree Of relationship.

Postal Savings Bank
Plan is Criticised

The postal savings bank plan sup
ported by the postmaster general-ha
of the parcels post scheme is Begin
ming to receive severe criticism. Seq
tion 10 of Senator Clark bill reads
"That postal savings depository funds
are hereby declared to be public
moneys and subject to the safeguards
and preferences provided by statute
therefor. After the receipt from de-
positors they shall be exempt from
d mand. garnishment, execution
seizers or detention under any legal
process against the depositor thereof.
Such funds shall not be subject to
taxation from the United States or
any state. and no person connected
with the Postoff1e Department shall
disclose to any person other than the
depositor the amount of his or her de-
posit. unless directed to do 80 by the
postmaster general. This is not
honest protection of debtors. and
amounts to making a government
"fence'' where debtors may escape
honest payment of debts. Merchants
everywhere should get busy to pre-
vent any such unjust legislation as
tending to educate rogues rather than
honesty in business. It also gives
the postmaster general right ha
should not have exclusively. Keep
to government by and for the people
q nd not by departments. Seattle

TO THE RANCHMEN
OF MEAGnER COUNTY

The county commissioners having
appropriated money to exploit the
recOurces Of the county. now ask the
assistance Of the people to procure
samples Of the best Of everything
grown for the purpose of Il state fair
exhibit, also for the exhibition car
which the G.. NJ. Il Puget Sound pro-
poses to take through the country.
Nothing advertises a country like
the actual products, and no county
in the State can show better grains
and grasses than Meagher. This has
been demonstrated by the blue rib
bons we have taken whenever we
have exhibited at the state fairs. Let
each individual rancher donate little
time and trouble in securing samples
OF the best Of everything he raises for
the fair and we will have an exhibit
which we may well be proud of and
which will attract the attention of
the homeseeker and the capitalist.
Now is the time to select samples
of alfalfa. All samples should be
about six inches in diameter, tied
with four strings and hung heads
down in cool dry place, protected
from strong sunlight and mice.
These will be gathered later in the
season without cost to the grOwerj
After the state fair the best of our
exhibits will be shipped to the Omaha
Corn exposition. Let each ranchman,
gardener and miner do his best to
show what our country can produceo

At midnight half of the gathering
