When he came to consciousness
a pair of fiends were rolling him
face downward over huge rock
barbed with steel spikes. B-r-r-r!
But he was sick and soaked! The
rock quickly resolved itself into a
commonplace barrel, however, and

young woman, in softest, silvery
tones. He's coming around all

They released him then, and the
businesslike man hit Robinett an
awful jolt in the back, so that he
stumbled.

woman. There's no more water in

PERSONAL COMMENT.

Count Tolstoi, who has been
seriously i'll, has about regained
his health and with his strength
comes his decision as to his future
efforts. The world will receive
from his pen no more stories OF
love, or lighter or purely orna-
mental literature. Says the writer,
"My remaining time is short; my
last days must be given to more
important work" Tolstoi's latest
effort is a paper on ''The Law of
Force and the Law of Love" He
is compiling a prose anthology for
the use of the Russian peasantry.
He is now studying the religions
of India corresponding with re-
nowned pundits, his object being
to show that at the base of the
Indian religion is the doctrine of

A SUBSTITUTE FOR MATRI.
MONY.

The girl who earns twelve,
fifteen or twenty dollars a week
sets for herself standard of liv.
ing, dress and small 1uxuries
which would require husband
earning twenty-five, thirty and
fifty dollars respectively. She re-
CARDS as necessities what her
mother considered luxuries. If
a man who is earning only as much
as the girl or a few dollars more
a week asks her to marry him, he
knows that the girl must either
deprive herself of some things she
has grown to regard as necessities
or she must continue to work.
And there is many home-hungry
young man today too proud to
allow his wife to work.
Through agitation and her own
honest effort at desk, counter and
loom, woman is rapidly nearing
the goal Of equality in work and
wages with men. Her services are
worth today as much as those of
the man who might marry her-if
her services were worth less. .

1t is said that there is nothing
which so well compares with the
manner in which China used to
lock and bar her door from West
ern intrusion in any form as the
way she now opens them to
Christianity and intellectual infu-

be united in desire to tear down
the wall Of separation. One of
the native firms in that country is
now advertising on it's list of
latest books translated into Chi

Fred C. Brown, who was a
candidate for justice of the

enough to land, feels confident
that if the legislature grants

That even the powers that be
now realize that the Pacific North
west is on the map and must be
taken into consideration, is seen
in President-elect Taft naming
Richard A. Ballinger of Seattle as
secretary of the interior. 1t is the
first time in the history of the
Northwest that it has been recog-
nized in national politics to the
extent Of being offered cabinet
position, which is proof sufficient
that the powers that be at Wash
ington City realize that the North
west is "risin'." Mr.. Ballinger
was for four years superior court
Judge of Jefferson and Clallam

for two years, mayor OF Seattle

COUNTY SCHOOL EXHIBIT
READY FOR EXPOSITION
SUPERINTENDENT, MISS ANNIE
GOFF, COMPLETES VARIED
DISPLAY ~:

Having collected exhibits from
practically every school in Benton
county, including displays of arts
and crafts work, as we'll as relief
and outline maps, Miss Annie Golf,
county superintendent of schools, is
now mounting the entire display
for a showing at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition. The exhibit is
one of the most complete ever ar
ranged by any county schools in
Central Washington, and when
fully arranged will give an observer
an accurate idea of every school dis
trict and its character, both as to
school work and general conditions.
One Of the most in teresting fea-
lures will be a portfolio containing
maps of the districts. Each has
been worked OUT in such way as
to show topograp phical conditions,
the crops raised, location of schools,
and other features.
Written work that has been done
has been forwarded to Seattle for
binding and will be ready for the
display. Three books, which are
the special pride of the county SUI
perintendent, will be placed on dis
play, one having pictures showing
different periods of United States
history, compiled by the eighth
grade pupils, and the other two
having a fine collection of ancient
history pictures and art work of
Italy, Greece and other European
nations. compiled by the high school
pupils. This work was done in the
prosaer schools.
We have not . complete collcc-
ton from all the schools excepting
as to maps" said Miss Gof. The
most extensive part of the collection
is from Prosser, altho other cities
took an interest in it. Among the
larger towns having contributions
to the display are Prosser, Kenne-
wick, White Bluffs and Plymouth.
l consider this the finest display
ever arranged in this county, and
l never tire of looking it over and
arranging it,"
One of the latest contributions to
the display has been a set of relief
maps of the different continents,
the maps being made of white clay
clay placed on shingles. These
show remarkable execution and
knowledge of the topography of the
various countries.

''SUGAR TRUST DIGS UP"

In test suit brought by the gov
ernment, the American Sugar Re-
fining Company Cor Sugar Trust)
was recently found guilty of dess
frauding the Treasury by device
attached to the scales which deter
mined the weight of the company's
imported raw sugar, on which
duties are paid. The penalty fxt
by the verdict in that suit was $134-
1l6. The Government at once set
out to collect from the Sugar Trust
about $2,250,OOO more, alleging
that the Treasury had been defraud-
ed of this sum, at least, by the false
weighing of cargoes not involved in
the suit which we have mentioned.
On the 29th, the Sugar Trust prac-
tically admitted the justice of the
charge and settled with the Govern
ment by paying 50, ,269 1877 in cash
this sum including the s134, 116
awarded in the suit that was tried.
This payment was made by advice
of the Trusts counsel.
1t appears from the statement of
these attorneys that there was a
prospect that the Governments
claim would be raised to s. 900, 900
and that proceedings for forfeiture
of the sugar fraudulently weighed
would have increased greatly the
sum paid. The Trust abandons it's
protest and gives up its right to ap-
peal. This settlement has been ap-
proved by the Attorney-General and
the Secretary of the Treasury. 1t
does not, however, restrain the Gov
ernment from prosecuting criminal
~ the officers of the Trust, or the
employees, who were guilty of these
frauds. They will be prosecuted
vigorously, it is asserted by attor-
neys representing the Government,
and earnest efforts to bring them
to Justice will be made.
