Minor Happenings
of the Week

The diplomatic and consular bill,
carrying 100000 has passed the
house.
The Tacoma city council has decided
to erect a water reservoir of 500. 600
gallons capacity at Bismarck, newly
acquired suburb, to supply that place
with water.
Senator Jones and Congressman Nc.
Creedie have secured the insertion IN
the deficiency appropriation bill OF the
item of $3.50, 900 to complete the pub
lie building at Tacoma. 1t has passed
both houses.
John Halverson, a rancher Of Mcneil
Island, lately killed white coon. This
species is not unknown, but is such
rarity as to almost be classed as
freak. The skin is to be mounted.
The petition of Dan Bush, of Cheha-
lis, to the railroad commission that the
commission order physical connection
of telephone lines has been denied, the
last legislature having refused to pass
a bill the commission requested, which
would have given it power to order
such connection.
The Everett City Dock Company has
let to John Mckay the contract for a
second warehouse at the City dock.
Space for the warehouse was provided
when the dock was built. The new
warehouse will be 62x106 feet.
Chehalis county commissioners have
unanimously decided to issue bonds for
$3.50, 900 to build roads and bridge
across the Chehalis river at Montesano.
The cost of the bridge is estimated at
$35, 900. The road to Westport from
Aberdeen is estimated at $l05, 900 and
two other raods will absorb the bal
ance.
Six thousnd iron workers, members
of the Housesmiths and Bridgemen's
Union, in New York, have been mott
fed that their wages will be increased
from 81. SO to S. day. This action
may prevent the iron workers from
joining the threatened strike of 100,-
600 skilled mechanics there.
One hundred thousand dollars is the
amount which the ''drys" hope to col
lect and spend in their campaign
against the saloons in Chicago between
now and the election in April, accord
ing to James K Shields, chairman of
the anti-saloon campaign organization.
The senate has passed the "'white
slave" bill, previously passed by the
house. The measure was so amended
as to eliminate the interstate regula-
ton originally contained in the bill,
the object being to divorce the immi-
grafton feature of the question from
all others.
The Toppenish Commercial Club,
after heated discussion of the plans
of the Northern Pacific for depot and
trackage improvements there, voted
decisively to approve. The improve
ments will include a double track
through the city limits and a $40, 900
passenger station.
A general movement is on foot
among the $50 school teachers of Seat
tie to ask the board for an increase of
10 per cent in salary, and the subject
will be laid before the board at it's
next meeting. The increased cost of
living is given as the reason for the re-
quest.

There is reason why the flag at half
staff as an indication of sorrow, must always
be hoisted to the top of the staff before being
lowered. The flag is saluted when raised
and lowered only when it is at the peak of
the staff. So, when it is necessary to display
it at half mast it must be raised to the top
before being finally lowered; for at this time
the gun fires it's salute, and C't-er the band
or the trumpeters are sounding t. appropri-
ate music or call.
Twenty-one guns, the number fired in the
international salute, were not selected at
random. The number was chosen by our
Government because it was the number long
used by the British fer their international
salute. Why the British used twenty-one
guns was no doubt due to an early custom
which had for warsiiip salute seven guns.
A fort was allowed to FIRE three times as
many guns as a warship, because in those
days it was difficult to keep powder in good
condition at sea. 1t could be kept in good
condition on land, and consequently the
shore battery was allowed larger number, or
twenty-one. When the time arrived that
better powder was made and it could be car
ried at sea without deterioration, the war
ship was allowed the same number of guns as
the shore battery, and the twentyone of to-
day are the result.
The Army Toast
TT is generally known that the army toast
is the one word Howl" The origin of this
has been discussed often in military circles.
1t is conceded that it came from the Indian.
An old chief, having heard the officers at a
frontier post make some remarks each time
they took a drink, asked the interpreter
what was said. As the best explanation he
could make he told the chief, They say,
How we do" When the chief was given
his next drink, he raised his glass and said
Howl
We go back to knights of old for the rea-
son why we mount horse from the left
side. Those gallant knights wore sword
on that side, which made it inconvenient if
not impossible to mount from the other side;
SO it was chosen as necessity, and such prac-
tice is almost universal in civil life to-day
and requirement in the service.
AS an illustration of how an instruction
given for which there was a reason in the
beginning will be carried out without ques-
ton for years, the following story is told in
army circles: In a German fort near the
post of a sentinel was a wooden garden
bench. One of the special orders of the SEN
tinel was not to allow anyone to sit on that
bench. One curious young officer found that
some seven years previous the bench had
received a coat of green paint and, in order
that no one might make use of it till the
paint was dry, the order had been issued
to the sentinel. And so it had been carefully
transmitted every four hours from sentinel
to sentinel for over seven years, and without
a reason for doing so.
