To Cut Printing Expense.

From present indications ii Is easy
to Judge that the state Intends to
change entirely the system of print
ing followed by the state officials and
legislature Heretofore the work
has been done by state printer un-
der contract which allowed unusual
" large margins. and the cost has
been heavy. Each session Of the
legislature has been called upon to
pass deficiency appropriations for
the relief OF the printer and vast
amount OF unnecessary work has
been done.
In the legislature plans are now
being formulated to change the sys-
TEN, employ a capable man to over
see the work and purchase a plant
equal to the demands Of the state.
Then all state work will be done di-
rectly by the state and no margins
will be allowed to any one.
This complexities conditions ma
terially. c. w. Gorham has been
printer for four years and has accu-
mulated a large plant here. Re-
Gently he was dismissed by Governor
Mead and he has turned his plant
over to Printer Boardman, who was
appointed to fill the position.
Employers OF Women Protest.
The eight-hour bill applying to
women employees has begun to bring
protests and Hobbies to Olympia and
pressure has become so heavy on the
friends of the measure that they
consented to a reconsideration Of the
vote by which it passed the house.
The bill was sent back to the la
Dor committee with the understand
ing that the principal amendment
will be to exclude fish canperies
from the provisions of the act. It Is
claimed that inasmuch as the fish,
ing season Is so short and the sup
ply of fish so nuctuating in volume
that a fixed number of hours Of la
Dor in canneries is impossible. Can
nerymen claim the bill IL enacted
into law would cause all canneries
employing white girls and women to
replace them with japanese.
The Washington State Hotel As
sociation and Seattle Restaurant

tests to the legislature claiming that

compel the dismissal Of many women
employees in hotels and restaurant.

cost OF operating such places.
Hanson Bill Buried in Senate.
What was probably an Obituary
over the Hanson anti-race track bin
as a distinctive measure was said in
the senate, preliminary to referring
1t to the judiciary committee with
a definite declaration from Chairman
Graves that it will be held up until
the committee has before it the crim-
inal code now in course of prepara-
ton by commission appointed by
the. governor, which has been at
work for several weeks. The crimi-
nal code will embrace provisions
claimed to be fully as drastic and
of a wider scope, making poolselling
and bookmaking felonies. Chair
man Graves told the senate, while
the Hanson bill was under considera-
ton, that all criminal bills now be-
fore the committee will be compared
with the provisions of the proposed
code, and unless they had distinctive
features not practicable to incorpOr-
ate in the code would be unfavorably
reported.

Two sweeping changes are made

off large number of runners or So
licitors for attorneys who make
practice Of fighting corporations. An
other provision declares that COM
mon drunkard shall be person
three times convicted of being drunk

vagrant when he enters saloon or

DECISION
MADE
San Franciscans May Re-
ceiye Insurance With Three
Years Interest

San Francisco, May 10.-An import
ant decision. relative TO the earth
quake clause in fire insurance poll
cies, was handed down today, by the
United States circuit court Of appeals.
1t directly affects several hundred
pending suits against insurance COM
panies for losses sustained In the
great fire of April 1906, and may re-
suit In the insured obtaining the prIn-
cipal of their policies with interest for
three years.
The case decided today was that OF
the Richmond Coal company against
the Commercial Union Assurance
Company of London. in which Ii was
sought to recover about 100000 insur
ance on coal in the bunkers at Spear
and Howard streets, which caught
fire several hours after the earth
quake OF April is. 1906, and was des-
troyed after smolderlng for month
The circuit court of appeals reverses
the judgment Of the lower court and
decided that the earthquake was not
the proximate cause of a fire. which
occurred after the earthquake shock.
practically holding that an earth
quake cannot cause fire directly, and
that for an earthquake to be the in
direct cause, the blaze must follow
Immediately upon the quake.
The court of appeals also holds that
1t was proper to take into account
causes. such as wind, back firing and
dynamiting, intervening between tho
earthquake and the fire destroying the
property involved.
The appellate court also decided an
other very important point, which is
that a fire following an explosion.
such as one caused by dynamiting, Is
covered by the terms Of the insurance
policy.

USE SALT TO CLEAN SPOONS.
Will Take OF Any Stain and Leave
the Silver Bright.

Careful women have in some cases
had their silver egg spoons dipped in
gold so that the stains from eggs will
not have to be fought against
They do not realize that single
application Of fine table salt on a wet
cloth will take off any stain and leave
the silver entirely bright After this
1t should be washed in warm water
and pure soap.
Many women leave silver spoons in
preserves from one meal to another,
remarking that the articles are silver
and the fruit acid will not ruin them
But do they stop 10 think what the
silver will do to the fruit? There is a
chemical process between the fruit
acid and metal which makes the fruit
unfit for use. This Is even more so
where the genuine silver is not used.
Lard Will turn spoon green In a few
days in hot weather. yet often silver
spoon will be left in the lard can.

AsToNIsHEO BY THE GIRAFFE.
Frenchmen Were Slow to Admit Ex-
istence Of the Animal.

DR., Johnson, as Is well known, re-
fused for many months 20 believe In
the Lisbon earthquake. and ParIsians
formerly were just as skeptical as to
the existence of the giraffe, a new
specimen of which had just been
added to the Jardin des Plantes. The
earliest specimen of these gentle crea-
lures was seen in Paris in the reign
OF Louis XVI. We learn from a French
contemporary that the giraffe was
first heard of In 1871 when 1t was de-
scribed by Frenchman named Levall
liant. who had journeyed In the lands
OF the Hottentots and Kafirs. When
the explorer referred to tho animals
with the long necks he was looked
upon as a Munchausen and told that
he was such in not the politest Ian
guage- 1t was only when some living
specimens arrived In the French cap
ital that Levaillants reputation for
veracity was re-established. and then
the animals for long time formed
the sensation of Paris, not only among
the multitude, but in all scientific cir
cles.
