A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.


The Winchester people are certainly
a lot of chumps. that is to say those
who participated in the indignation
meeting with reference to the Might
Rider" fake at Lexington. The resolu-
tionsiadopted denounce the Lexington
papers and ask all the citizens to cut
off their subscriptions to them. In fact
the name of Lexington is so obnoxious
to them that they demand that Lexing-
ton street should be changed to Fairfax
so that nothing will be left to recall
that there is such city as the capital
of the Blue, Grass. The might rider"
scare which connected Winchester in
ferencially.H doubtless an honest
mistake by the Lexington papers. At
any rate they have since acknowledged
it to be so. The alleged disturbance
occurred at an hour too late to verify
it. but even with that the action of the
Winchesterlpeople is childish. 1t is
amusing to.outsiders to see the jealousy
and envyi,displayed by Winchester
against Lexington. There is no reason
for it except that the capital of Clark
may think she is in Lexington's class
and materially, which is a
most violently assumption. The News
boils ver.with Indignation and says
things about. Lexington newspaper men

one that is decidedly radical. coming

the disposing of all the government
granted lands for charitable. educa-
tional, penal and reform institutions.
80 as to obtain money to bring the
state Institutions up to high stand
ard without adding any additional
burden to the taxpayers.
The board of control wants con-
siderable money for the state institu-
tions, but they propose to get 1t by
issuing 100000 worth of 2o-year
8 1-2 per cent bonds against the 72,-
s32.s9 acres of land in this grant.
which is as yet unincumbered. The
board says that the institutions,
through an oversight of the legisla-
ture, have neglected to assist in cut
ting down the cost Of maintenance
by raising farm prooucts.
Much Land Disposed OF.
Originally there were 100000 acres
in the government grant, OF which
100, 900 acres were given outright to
the University of Washington. OF
the remainder, 99,97s.s7 acres have
been applied for and accepted. OF
this latter amount 1,471.94 acres have
been decided outright to individuals
and 25,594O4 acres are under con-
tract, making a total OF 27.065.98
acres disposed OF and leaving H.
932.s9 acres.
The board wants 200 acres Of land
purchased Immediately for general
use at the penitentiary; 100 acres for
pasture at the Eastern Washington
Hospital for the Insane; 80 acres for
orchard at the training school and 10
acres additional for general use: IS
acres for the Veterans Home and
either 81 acres adjoining the Feeble
Minded School or 500 acres for a new
site.
Sterilization Of insane Proposed.
Among the radical recommends.
tions of the board is that of steriliza-
ton for the inmates Of the Feeble
Minded School. The board says that
these always breed degenerates and
now five female inmates, one of them
30 years old, are being held by the
board contrary to law. as they do not
want to expose them to temptation.
In addition. separate buildings are
wanted for the boys and girls in the
State Training School at Chehalis;
the removal OF the school for the
blind to the neighborhood OF some
large city is asked; 1t is set forth
that 1t would be economy to combine
the Port Orchard and Orting Old Sol
diers' homes and that one or the
other must be enlarged; buildings are
asked for the housing Of 400 harm
less insane at Sedro- -Woolley and two
