Expenditures.

Olympia.-If the Orting Home is
continued. $3,421,216 will be the total
of the budget for the State Board of
Control, or in event the Soldiers
Home at Orting is consolidated with
the Veterans Home at Port Orchard,
$3,600,657 will be the total the board
will ask of the legislature at the next
session.
In addition the five higher educa-
tional institutions are asking for a
sum in excess Of 100000. These
estimates will be submitted by the
board to the legislature without rec
ommendation Combining them, the
total is $5,500,000, which exceeds that
appropriated by the 1908 legislature
for the entire state.
The State Board of Control is
mapping out system of improve
ments at the various state institutions
that calls for a big expenditure. New
buildings are wanted at practically
every institution and the board would
like to see the Port Orchard Veterans

OFFICIALS UNDER FIRE

Spokane.-For the purpose of inves-
tigating charges of graft, malfesance
in Office, general discrimination and
other offenses laid against the off,
cials of Spokane county and city, a
special grand jury has been called for
Monday, January Is. This decision
was reached Friday night by a meet
ing held en- banc of five Spokane
county judges, when the complaint
and request of E. v. Lambert, presi-
dent Of the city council, and of the
officers of various labor organizations
were taken up for consideration.
The petitions. of the labor council
call for investigations of city officers
and the police department, especially
because of numerous charges made
against these in the last few months,
growing out of heated controversies
and apparently important findings
through its Investigation of ex-Acting
Chief OF Police John Il. Sullivan.
Several charges of Irregularities in
different county Offices coming under
the category of graft and mismanage-
ment will also be heard.

Officers of w. NJ. G. Protest.

Seattle.-Three events have quietly
but no less profoundly stirred nation
al guard circles One has been a pro-
test signed by dozen infantry Off.
GERS, declaring their unwillingness to
enter the artillery arm of the service
and intimating their intention to re-
sign; another has been a somewhat
dramatic defiance hurled at Colonel
Garland ~ Whistler, commanding the
artillery at Fort Worden, by Major
Fred Llewellyn, of Seattle; and the
third has been the refusal of the ad-
jutant-general to accept the resigna-
ton of the ranking captain of the
coast reserve
The events indicate the deep-seated
unrest which just now is disturbing
the infantry, the cavalry and signal
corps of the Washington militia on
account of the announced policy Of
the national government to favor the
artillery in the coast states. How far
the spirit of discomfort will spread,
and what effect it may have on the
immediate future of the guard, par
ticularly as regards action by the next
legislature, is subject of no little
conjecture. 1t is certain to have an
adverse influence, for time, at least.

Beginning Of Longer DaTs.

We have reached The
winter s~olstice. According to
the old relilble Blum'S
almanac, yesterday, the 22d,
was the shortest day OF the
year, 8 hours and 80 minutes.
According to the same
authority, for several Jays
prior thereto We had 9 hours
and 81 minutes between
sunrise and sunset, and We
vii have this same time until
the 28tb, when two more
minutes will be added and

TAs need for information on the best
