ing railroad man pointed out, the rail-
ways themselves will do everything
necessary to decrease accidents, for
they want to avoid loss of rolling stock,
damage suits and other obligations re-

Washington stone, marble and other
homegrown building materials are
to be used in the erection of the new
state capitol at Olympia, according to a
resolution adopted during the closing
days Of the recent legislature. The
state board of control has been advised
also to follow this resolution, in putting
up future buildings. In this way, it is
hoped 10 point out to the people of the
Northwest that there is no need of going

will prove an important aid in pro-
noting the Made-in- Washington"
campaign.

A safe breaker who is not onto his
job blew open the safe in the White
River Journal Office at Kent, Wash.
last week, and secured 90. Some
country newspapers can afford safe to
protect their books and valuable papers
in the event Of fire, but the idea OF a
country newspaper publisher requiring
a safe in which to keep money is pre-
posterous. That particular burglar evil
dently did not believe what he heard
and had to be shown. This publisher
keeps an old iron box, called a safe, to
keep his subscription list and other
books, but to keep money in, mol The
printers keep the money when there is
any. He relies so little on the safe to
keep money in that he rarely locks it.
The safe breaker does not have to blow
our safe to see what there is in il.
We'd rather he wouldn't. Safes cost
money

STEEL AND IRON COMPANY
Buys Another Tract of Land Just East of
Town Last Week
campaign.

The title to a tract of land, as yet
unsurveyed, approximating 30 acres,
passed from M. G. Thomas 10 the
Washington Steel and Iron Company
the first of this week. The deal was
practically closed a few weeks ago,
but the title papers did not pass until
this week. The tract is portion OF
the southeast quarter of the southeast
quarter OF section one, township twenty
four, range seventeen, and adjoins a
tract the company bought last summer,
which gives it almost forty acres ad-
joining the townsite on the east, lying
on the north bank of the Wenatchee
river. With the transfer from Mr..
Thomas the company also secured an
easement on the south bank Of the river
and the right to build dam across the
river for the purpose of developing
power. Mr.. Thomas owned the land
on both sides of the river, which in this
instance is not meandered, and gives
the steel company an undisputed right
to the use of the river.
In talking with Mr.. Rothen, the
general manager of the company and
majority stockholder, that gentleman
said there was absolutely no foundation
in fact for the silly story printed in the
Wenatchee World Of last Sunday to the
effect that the steel company had de-
cided to locate its plant in Kittitas
county. A removal to tlrat-plaSe was
never at any time under consideration,
and is proposterous.
He also said that in a very short
short time the matter OF its location at
this place would be beyond dispute, as
work on the plant would begin soon;
and, while it would probably take six
months to complete it, it is hoped to
turn out a class of high-grade tool steel,
something unlike any steel now on the
market, before the year closes.

The New York Entertainers

The second and last in the series OF
entertainments brought to the town by
Rev. w. V. Davis for the benefit OF the
Congregational church was presented
to a good audience in the opera house
last Tuesday night. The entertainment
consisted Of vocal numbers and recita-
tons by Misses Cooper and Grimm,
with several whistling numbers by Miss
Cooper.
Altogether it was OF the better class
Of entertainments that come to this
town. Some Of the vocal numbers were
well rendered. The voices Of the young
ladies' harmonized almost perfectly.

It has been found necessary by the
board Of control to close down the
Fidalgo Island rock crushing plant and
to send the fifty convicts back to the
penitentiary. The board Of control
found that the Legislature had made no
provision for this institution, and they
say that this plant was deliberately put
out of business although for the past
thirty days it has been on paying basis,
and place all the blame upon James
McNeely Of Pierce, chairman OF the
roads and bridges committee of the
house. Although the Fidalgo plant
has been on a paying basis for the past
thirty days it needed capital to run, and
as it had no working funds it had to
shut down. AS a result the plant will
have to stand idle for the next two
years and the $87, 900 invested by the
state with the exception of $1,000 re-
allied from the sale OF rock is total
loss, and the SIS, 900 worth Of machin-
cry will be left in the buildings exposed
to thieves and the elements.

been found to be such an excellent
food for infants:
Fist--The fat globules are SO small
that they remain suspended in the
milk for a very long time. After stand
ing twenty-four hours there will be
hardly a perceptible cream layer, and
yet goats milk contains nearly twice as
much butter fat as cows milk.
Second-The casein, when coagu-
lated, is soft and focculent. The sour
milk when stirred is almost as smooth
as cream and the curd separates but
slightly from the whey upon standing.
Third-Goat's milk will keep three
times as long as cows milk under the
same conditions. Goats are almost free
from disease. tuberculosis, so com
mon among cows, is unknown in milch
goats.
Goats milk is much in demand as a
diet in tuberculosis and stomach dis
orders. The use Of goats milk sour
has affected some remarkable cures in
people who have suffered for years from
stomach troubles.
The raising of mich goats is practi-
cally new industry in the United
States, but in the last few years the
breeding of these animals has been
taken up in many of the Eastern and
Southern states, and in a few places
west OF the Rockies. Probably the
greatest drawback to a rapid increase in
the number Of good goats in this coun-
try is the difficulty of obtaining good
foundation stock. The common goats
of Mexico, which have found their way
northward into nearly every state in the
Union, are not good yielders, but when
crossed with bucks of some good
European breed, such as the Swiss
Toggenburg, the offspring show much
improvement, even in the first cross,
which usually shows many Of the Swiss
characteristics. The cross breeds are
docile, afectionate and easily MIXED.
One of the interesting phases Of goat
raising is the rearing Of the kids. They
are usually fed their dams milk from
bottle. They afford a great deal Of
amusement at meal time, are full OF
life and playful as kittens. Their
jumping and climbing proclivities are
remarkable.
On a ranch at Meadowdale, Wash.
the owners are demonstrating that
hardy goats can be raised in this state
that will produce good milk and lots Of
it. They have several pure bred Tog-
genburgs and a number Of half and
thee-quarter Toggenburgs and all are
doing well. The goats show high
degree of intelligence and are SO easily
trained that their care is reduced to a
minimum. They have box stall fol
each mixer. Each seeks her own stall
at night. At milking time they trot in
turn to the milk stand and jump up on
it to be MIXED.
In some foreign countries where the
mich goat is common to every family,
not only the milk, but association with
the animals is considered conducive tc
longevity, and when a person give:
promise of living to a good old age il
is often remarked: He will live as long
as a goatherd.

Contrary to the general belief there
is no provision in the new municipal
Improvement act which prohibits cities
of the second, third or fourth class from
making improvements that cost more
than fifty per cent of the assessed valu-
alton of the property.

It is quite certain that there will be
no special session of the legislature
called by Governor Hay, as he has an
nounced that the house and senate
must agree not to be in session more
than "a hours and to consider nothing g
but reapportionment and good roads
legislation, and the lawmakers are not
likely to agree to that, as it is evident
that they could do nothing in "a hours
if they could not agree on these sub
iects in 90 days.

Comment upon the entirely lifeless

superfIuous. IL was fitting conclu-
sion 10 the market OF the week.
At the moment, II is probably true
that the business community Is d.
vided between Two main opinions
one, that American industry having
finished the work OF drastic readjust-
ment and is awaiting the signal for
another forward movement; the other,
that IL is pausing on the brink or re-
newed and even more general reac-
ton. The basis for the first opinion
is the countrys unvarying experience
with a severe Industrial setback Of
the past ten years.
The basis for the second is the ex-
perience of other generations. Sea
sons of trade depression such as 1904
and 1908 were largely completed in
the compass Of year, and the halt
after twelve months liquidation we
now know to have signifed. not the
inertia OF exhaustion, but the massing
of tangible resources in advance OF
another boom"
