THOUGHTS FROM THE COUNTRY PRESS.

The friends of Col. F. c. Harper and that in
cudes everybody having knowledge of business
with the customs service in this district, will be
pleased with the action of President W. H. Taft
in again sending to the senate Col Harpers name as
collector of the Puget Sound district. 1t will be
membered that the president made this appointment
prior to the adjournment of the late Congress- but
confirmation withheld upon the objection of Sena
tor Piles after which the wise were OF the opn-
ion that, the appointment would go to Senator Piles
brother Evidently, however, the president had not
given up his determination to have Col Harper in this
position for another four years. where in the opinion
of the treasury department and all others mostly con-
cerred he has made the best collector the port has
ever had. 1t is hoped and believed that there will be
no question this time of the confirmation of this ap-
pointment. Port Angeles Tribune Times.
Twelve thousand colonists is the estimated number
that will come into the state of Washington this
spring. Most of them will buy land and settle here.
1t means greater demand and rise in the valuation of
lands The man who wants home on Puget Sound
should buy it right away. Each year from now on
will see the price advance until it will be difficult for
some to secure land at all. Now is the time, young
young man, to yourself home. In five years
it will cost twice or thrice as mnch-Island County
Times.
Senator Geo. U. Piper of King county, if he enters
the race for the gubernatonal chair will sure make
the other candidates sit up and take notice. AS the
man who made it possible against heavy odds, for
ladies to have the privilege of voting he is entitled to
their votes. This, combined with the many friends
that he also has all over the state among men
voters, will give him leverage that is going to be
hard matter for any candidate mentioned far to
overcome Chinook Observer.
