NEWS OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST

According to the weather bureau
man, Spring, after playing hide and
seek for some weeks, has put in ap-
pearance to stay, and from now on the
people Of the northwest may look for
nice weather. With the coming of
spring the usual cry of clean up the
dirty places has gone forth. There
is not much doubt that the cry will be
needed more this year than ever be-
fore. 1t is undoubtedly true that the
northwest established reputation dur
ing the A.-Y.-P. exposition as great
summer resort, and all cities may ex-
pect to be visited this summer by a
large number OF tourists. Most Of these
people will come from the east, where
they have made study Of The City
Beautiful" and they will be disap-
pointed if they visit the cities of the
northwest and fail to find evidence of
this spirit. The commercial clubs Of
the various towns could make no more
important move than to begin a sys-
tematic campaign in the interests Of a
cleanup. A flower garden here, a
nicely painted house there, and spirit
of general cleanliness, will make its i'm
preston on the average visitor, which
will be well worth the time devoted to
the work.

Gee! Here's Some Germs

Germs - 90, 1000, 900 of them Of
manifold variety-were found in a 81
bill, microscopically examined at the
request of Representative Wiley Of New
Jersey, according TO his statement be-
fore the house committee on banking
and currency in support Of his bill to
provide clean currency by burning all
paper money returned to the treasury.
Among the many diseases found to be
circulating about this money were
smallpox, scarlet fever, typhoid, tuber-
culosis and diphtheria. No germs
were found on metal money.

1t is matter OF great commercial
importance to the northwest that the
railroads propose to go abe ad with their
contemplated work in this section of
the country, Notwithstanding the awful
setbacks which they have received as a
result of the slides in the Cascades.
The Great Northern and Northern Pa
cifc, undaunted by loss estimated at
several millions, declare that they pro-
pose to give the people of the north
west the Improvements that have been
promised. In commenting on this
liberal spirit the Post-Intelligencer says
editorially:
The announcement made by the
crippled lines comes rather earlier than
the people had any reason to expect it,
and the fact will emphasize the alert
ness, energy and good judgment dis
played by men who have been forced
to deal with some rather difficult trans
portation problems during an unusually
severe and trying season. 1t is but
another evidence Of the steady pro-
gress the carrier companies are making
t,wards the final and satisfactory solu-
ton OF problems not thought to be
solvable few years ago. Time is not
far when we will hear no more OF such
serious interferences with overland
traffic as we have known during the
current year, and the people and rail-
roads will welcome the coming Of such
time"

If any part of Halley's comet should
collide with the earth it would strike
Fresno, Cal, first, was the statement
made by Professor Baumgardt at a
meeting of teachers from all parts Of
the San Joaquin valley recently held at

serted that there is no proof that the

Seattle has held its city election and
the republican ticket, headed by Hi
Gill for mayor, has won. Seattle and
King county have been without a po-
litical machine for a long time, but
Gill and his friends say that from now
on there will be an organization which
will cause everybody to sit up and take
notice. Gill is a politician, so are the
people who were his political advisors.
The first move will be the appointment
of former Chief c. w. Wappenstein as
chief of police. This has already been
announced. Gill is a fighter by in
stinct and he proposes to fight all thru
his administration unless things go to
suit him. 1t is the claim of his enc
mics that he will give the city bad"
administration; possibly, but it will be
a spectacular one.

Many of the eastern cities have be-
gun the strongest kind Of campaign
against the modern billboard nuisance.
In such cities as Seattle, Tacoma,
Spokane and Portland, there is a great
prejudice against the unsightly nuis-
ance, and the germ is spreading to the
smaller cities. Ugly billboards destroy
the landscape beauty of the country,
and it is this beauty that the visitor
from the east looks for; if he fails to
get it he returns home disappointed. 1t
is only question of time until the bill
board must go, for the legitimate ad-
vertiser realizes more every year that
the same money spent with the home
newspaper gives him better results.

1t will be interesting to the people
of the northwest to know how Seattle
his home-sizes up the Ballinger mat
ter. 1t is the general belief that Sec
rotary Ballinger has been placed in
such a position as to make his resigna-
ton from the cabinet necessity. He
will probably not resign until after the
present investigation, but it is argued
that he will have to do so then to re-
lieve the Taft administration from fur
ther embarrassment. This is not meant
as a reflection on Judge Ballinger's
honesty or integrity. On the contrary,
his Seattle friends are as loyal to him
as they have ever been, and the feel
ing is strong that the investigation has
brought out nothing Of serious ma
ture against him. But politics is a
funny thing; more than half the press
of the country is against Ballingers re-
tention, and it is argued that if Presi-
dent Taft keeps him in the administra-
ton it will seriously diminish his
chances of reelection.

SHIPPED BOY ON BILL LADING

A Board Bill to Be Collected
Before He Was Delivered.

ST. LOUIS.-One seven-year-old
boy was received on bill of lading
at the Union Station here today over
the Iron Mountain railroad from
Monroe, La. He was consigned to a
local bank as collateral for board
bill to be RENTED to a bank at Mon
roe.

called at the Union Station for the
consignment, but the railroad officials
refused to deliver the youngster be-
cause she was not the consignee
named in the bill of lading. The
boy, still tagged, was taken to the
bank in taxicab.
A disputed board bill incurred by
the boy being in Monroe for seven
months caused the bill of lading to
be issued. When the lad reached
the bank the amount due was paid
and he was turned over to his par
ents.

TO RUN TRAINS BY PHONE.
Central Will Put in the System
Adopted BY Other Roads.

AuOpJGu by OOliCt NNOdOS'
Is the railway telegraph system
to go? 1t would appear so. There
is rarely a day that some railway
does not announce that it will adopt
the telephone in the handling of
trains instead of the telegraph.
1t is known that the Central rail-
way is figuring on making the
change Figures are now being OBJ
tanned for the installation of the new
apparatus, and it is expected that
by the end of the year there will be
comparatively few instruments hand
ling the Morse code on the main line
of the road.
One of the main reasons for dis
continuing the use of the telegraph
as put up by all the roads is that the
annual crop of railway telegraphers
is becoming less each year, and that
eventually they will go out of bust
ness altogether. Of course, it Will
be many years before this is a fact,
but it appears that the prediction of
the railway managers on this line
will eventually come true.
Other roads in the south now in
stalling the telephone system for
train operation are the Seaboard Air
Line, the Atlantic Coast Line and the
Southern railways. Officials of all
the roads declare that the service is
better and far more satisfactory than
the telegraph.

THE LEPERs OF HAWAII.
Something About the Settlement on
MolOKai Island.

Something About the Settlement on
MolOKai Island.
No greater misconception of any
public institution prevails today than
the general idea of the Leper Set
tlement on the island of Molokai.
Instead of the entire island being
used for such purposes, the settle
ment comprises only eight square
miles of a total area of 261 square
miles. 1t occupies a tongue of land
on the northern side of MOlOkai. The
north, east and west shores of this
tiny spot are washed by the Pacific,
while on the south side rise precipi-
tous cliffs of from 1900 to 1900
feet, which makes the isolation seem
even more hopeless than the beauti-
full deep blue waters of the sea ever
could. The most difficult and danger
Gus trail, constantly manned by gov
eminent guards, foils escape, if it
were ever contemplated by the land
side.
Naturally the fear of being iso-
lated at the settlement caused the
natives to thwart segregation. Gen
orally it was done by secreting their
afflicted, yet there are instances of
lepers using violence to resist arrest.
The necessity of severing ties of the
strongest affection involved grief of
the deepest description, and many
are the cases of abnegation where
the clean have accompanied the af-
flicted to the settlement to die there
with them. Then, too, by degrees,
there grew up the belief among the
natives that terrible mistakes of di-
agnosis by the physicians were con-
signing innocent and helpless people
to the living sepulchre. And as each
year failed to eradicate the disease
as had been represented, but still
claimed it's toll, the belief became al
most universal that larger proper
ton of those committed were sacri-
fees to the despotism and ignorance
of the white mans medical science
that boosted but could not cure.
By degrees as the government re-
allied the inability of the afflicted to
care for themselves, conditions were
improved, until finally the authori-
ties took entire charge of the lepers,
and today the appropriations for the
maintenance and care OF these wards
are most generous, and exceed $685.

UNCLE SAM A GREATBUILDER
Spends $40, 900 Year on New
Ones. Carries His Own Insur-
ance on His Property.


WASHINGTON, D. C.-The United
States government is the greatest
builder in the country. 1t owns
buildings worth more than $780,
100000, and spends $2O,OOO,OOO a
year on new ones.
The government carries no insur-
ance on it's property-that is, it acts
as it's own insurance company. 1t
safeguards itself against loss by
erecting buildings that won't burn.
If it carried insurance the premiums
would amount to 100000 a year;
as it is the yearly loss from fire is
only $4,000.
The Geological Survey has carried
on elaborate tests of all sorts of ma
terials and has determined which re-
sist fire most successfully. AS con-
sequence of these tests in recent
years the government has made its
large buildings safe from fire by the
use of hollow terra Gotta tile in
floors, partitions and column-cover-
ing. This tile is the same kind that
is used in the largest and newest
'skyscrapers" in New York city.
The new postoffice in Chicago is
one of the most recent instances of
this thorough fire-proof construction.
Another is the War College in Wash
ington In the same way the Con-
gressional Library, the Marine Bar
racks, the Corcoran Art Gallery, the
Bureau of American Republic, and
the pension Office and many other
government structures are made
practically indestructible by fire.

of these facts are:
1T is waste of the layman's time
