SOME NEW YEAR ADVICE.

Don't wait for the wagon while
the walking is good.
Don't grieve over split milk while
there's one cow left in the pasture.
Don't say the world is growing
worse when you are doing nothing
to make it better.
Don't tell the world your troubles.
You can't borrow ten dollars on
them.
Don't let the grass grow under
your feet. The COWS can't get il

HAY WON FIGHT
FOR INVESTIGATION
COMMITTEES APPOINTED BY
HOUSE AND SENATE TO LOOK
INTO AFFAIRS OF INSURANCE
COMMISSIONER SCHIVELY.
(By Associated Press.

Olympia, March 12-The unf1inch-
ing courage. the bulldog tenacity and
the irresistible determination of Act
ing Governor Hay and his supporters
won out over the underground poll
tical organization and tactics of In
surance Commissioner Schively, Sec
rotary of State Nichols and Land
Commissioner Ross, and their I'M
holy alliance with the "booze" COM
bine in the legislature when the two
houses at midnight last night Joined
in the adoption of resolution au-
thorized and empowered to investi-
gate the conduct of all state officers
This committee was appointed, I'M
der the terms of the resolution, by
the presiding officers of the respect
i've houses, each house confirming by
unanimous vote it's appOintees. The
committee consists of Senator'S Allen
of King and Fishback of Lewis, and
Representatives Taylor of King, Nc
Master of King and Hubbell of Kitti-
tas This committee is given power
to hold sessions and summon wit
nesses and is instructed to make it's
report to Governor Hay not later
than July ~, 1909.
Governor Hay is not entirely salts
fled with the personnel of the COM
mittee, since the appointment of two
defenders of the accused officials on
a committee of five offer too much
opportunity for a whitewash.

ALL RECORDS ARE BROKEN BY
LEGISLATURE AT OLYMPIA BY
AUTHORIZED.

Olympia, March 12.-Late yester-
day afternoon the house passed the
general appropriation bill, known as
senate bill No. 1856, appropriating
money for state institutions and de-
partments. Only few changes were
made in it as it came from the sem
ate. one being to provide a salary
for the woman deputy commissioner
of labor authorized by the Campbell
bill and to increase few other
minor salaries. The total increases
in the house amount to 1885, and
bring the total budget to $5,961,63S,
as compared with $4,661,000 carried
by the corresponding bill of two
! years ago.
The most notable work of the ses-
sion included the passage of a Glib
eral" local option bill, an act SUBJ
hitting the equal suffrage amend
ment to the vote of the people:
adoption of complete criminal code
and abolishing of racetrack gambl-
ing.
1t exceeded all previous sessions in
amount of money appropriated, pro-
vision being made for the expendi-
ture of approximately $4,000, 900.
Part of this total will, however, be
made up by the disposal of land re-
sources and the issuance of state
bonds.
That he would use the ak literally
on appropriations in order to keep
them within the estimated revenue
of the state was the statement made
this morning by Governor Hay, who
is determined to use his veto power
against any raid on the state treas
ury.

something definite will be done to-
day. A purchaser for the Mission

been found and it is thought that
the option on the Gilchrist property
can be taken UP soon.

A VERY GOOD
SIZED CHECK
GREAT NORTHERN is PROMPT
AND TREASURER BATTLES RE.
CEIVED CHECK FOR $71,61O.71.

The largest check ever received in
this county for taxes, and possibly
for any other purposes, was that re-
ceived this morning by County Treas
urer Battles as payment by the Great
Northern for the 1908 realty taxes.
This is for 343,075 feet of main
track in this county and for S9,S47
feet of side track. This is on the
basis of s735S2 per foot for the
main line, and the side track at
$1.4716 per foot.
The personal taxes, amounting to
some $500 was paid some time ago,
ana the railroad company is now
right on the books.
The taxes are now coming in very
rapidly and the treasurer and his
deputies are working every night
and Sundays in order to keep the
records up to date.

DEPUTY SHERIFF
AFTER RYAN

Chas Kenyon, deputy sheriff, went
to Spokane last night to bring back
with him Frank Ryan, the embez-

garding his capture, the Spokane
Press says:
Frank Ryan's eagerness to escape
the police here yesterday afternoon
almost necessitated a gun play by
Officer Daniels to induce him to stop.
Ryan has been hunted by the Wenat-
chez police for a considerable time,
and the officers were astonished when
he gave himself up.
He evidently regretted this for he
made dash for the back door, and
only Daniels threatened to shoot he

Philadelphia, March 1.-THE sub
committee of anthracite mine work
ers and operators will hold another

The anthracite miners have reject

to renew the present agreement for

work on April l. The operators to-
day had nothing to say regarding the
situation. 1t is known, however, that
they do not intend to change their
attitude.

A Place For The Bows,

Now that boys under 81 years of
age are prohibited from frequenting
pool and billiard halls of the city or
playing any of the games, some place
of amusement and recreation should
be provided for them. While we be-
lieve the above action should have
been taken long ago, we are also of
the opinion that the boys should have
a place to spend their evenings. Boys
from 16 to FL years of age must have
something to amuse them, something
to do, and if desirable places are not
provided, they will seek out the un-
desirable. DEBORAH should have a
public reading room, a gymnasium,
with shower baths, and wholesome
amusements of various natures, all in
charge of competent person, such
as is conducted by the Y. M. c.. A. in
practically all American cities. Such
an institution, properly organized
and operated, would be a splendid
thing for DEBORAH. Surely our boys
are worth looking after.

the particulars beyond this are
known, save that two men are con-
fined in Jail at Grand Rapids, charg-
ed with the crime of murder. His
cousin, julius Korsen, went to Deer
Greek in response to the telegram
announcing his death, and brought
the remains here. The deceased
leaves a mother, three sisters and

Scene from Second Act of Little Johnny
A Valuable Gift.

Mr.. o. o. Blagsvedt of this city,
who for the past two years has been
representing Squire T. Harvey &
Son of Chicago as travelling sales
man, was called in to the house last
week, and while there presented by
the management with a magnificent
$4,000 diamond ring, in token Of
their appreciation of his success as
salesman. Out of eighteen men on
the road for this house he sold over
$4,000 more than any of them last
year. This is not the first valuable
gift he has received from this house,
and he naturally enough appreciates
the fact that his work for them is
recognized.
