THE PEOPLE WERE
NOT SATISFIED

Yakima Daily Republic The
amendments to the constitution pro-
viding for the initiative and refer
endum have doubtless carried, and
some citizens are already beginning
to shudder about what will happen as
a consequence One fellow tells us
that movement for statewide pro-
hibition will be started at once.
Another has heard that there is a
scheme on foot for taxing church
property. Over at Olympia they are
scared speeches. at the thought that
the capital will be taken away from
them. We shall not be surprised if
there are things doing pretty soon
which are little out of the Ordin-
airy; but it must be remembered that
the ordinary for many years past has
been a steady and consistent pro-
gram of jobbing and gouging the
taxpayers. Now the taxpayers are
going to have their inning. If we
don't miss our guess the adoption OF
these amendments marks the time
when logrolling ceases in the legisla-
ture, and the people begin to save
millions thereby. The pernicious
system by which the scattered state
institutions have combined to rob the
people out of millions has gone on the
rocks If we continue to spend half
of the state taxes for sO-called ed
ucationar' purposes, it will be only
because the people want to do so. Ii
the capital stays at remote and in
convenient place where nobody has
wanted it to be for forty years, 1T
will stay only on the judgment of the
people who foot the bills, and not
because there is Ruth or Carl
yon in the legislature who is so
smooth that cat can't stand up on
on him. 1t may be the people will
make mistakes when they try to run
this state to suit themselves, but II
they can beat the legislature in that
respect they will hasten some, and it
is inconceivable that they will be as
dishonest or as unmindful of their
true interests.
The Morton Mirror Did you ever
think of it Suppose every business
man in town took as much interest
in the upbuilding of the town and
forwarding all public enterprises as
the newspaper man. He works for
railroads, manufactures, schools and
churches, good streets and roads;
urges, pleads, scolds, and badgers and
cavorts around generally. Imagine
his feelings, then, when some lame
string-halted kind of a fellow re-
prOaches him because he don't boom
things enough. If the town does
boom and the prices of real estate ad-
vance and the owners grow rich from
the result of his labor, he makes no.

Using. Down in Florida not long
ago family lost a child which they
supposed had strayed away from home
and got lost. After searching in vain
for three days the frantic parents
placed an advertisement in the near

of the parents upon going to the door
the next morning to see monster
alligator upon the doorstep, where ne
had disgorged the child alive and

WHO DOES As MUCH
FOR THE TOWN ?

The trade territory of a town is
not all dependent upon the distance
to neighboring trading points, The
trade territory depends upon the en-
tcrprise of the merchants and the
residents of the town. If a town
does not reach after the trade it
will come only as fast as it has to,
and it will grow as it is forced to.
But if the merchants go after bust
ness in the surrounding country, adj
vertising in every possible way, and
making good every word of their adj
yertising, trade will come from an
over-increasing radius, the town will
gain a reputation for being awake
and it will forge to the front. 1t is
the men in the town and not alto
gether the men living within a GER
tain number of miles from it that
makes the town good for nothing.

The Hand That Holds The Pencil

We read of mighty powers
That are felt for right or wrong,
We have them kept before our minds
In poem, prose and song.
There's the hand that rocks the cradle, ,
And the hand that writes the dun"
There's the man before the public.
And the man behind the gum;
There's the hoy that minds his mother
And the lack that takes the pot;'
While the hand that yields the slipper
Seldom fails to touch the spot.
Strong and potent are the forces
That against our lives are hurled;
But the hand that holds the pencil
Is the hand that prods the world.
Pencil pushers of the nation.
In whose hands the weapon lies
Ponder we'll the aim and object,
Ere the pointed arrow flies:
Dealing gently with the erring-
Still, denouncing all the wrong;
Ever just in condemnation,
And in virtue ever strong.
Let your shafts be keen, yet kindly,
Never venom-tipped nor vile;
Seeking where a tear-drop trembles.
To replace it with a smile.
And while DER our smiling planet
Heavens azure is unfurled
Let the hand that holds the pencil,
Be the hand that helps the world.

PRESERVATIVE TREATMENT FOR
TIMBER USED ON MODERN FARM
OF the Several Methods Preserving Posts Rails
Dipping in Creosote Is Considered Superior
Naturally Durable Woods Compel
OF Inferior Product.

The open-tank principle may be
variously applied in the treatment OF
posts. The best way 10 heat the posts
rs TO immerse their butts in ereosote
maintained at temperature OF
go degrees F.
The simplest form of treating plant
consists of two creosote barrels. placed
about seven feet apart and connected
by a three or fourinch pipe. The
heating is accomplished by building
fire under the pipe Each barred
should be set with a shallow box or
provided with some gutter arrange
ment TO catch the ell in case OF an IN
expected leak The barrels should be
shielded from the direct heat OF the
fire. In some respects the barrel
tanks are not satisfactory on account
of them leaking. which is almost sure
10 occur after few days use Never
theless, the barrel outfit will suffice
when only a few posts are TO be treat
&c and when in consequence, the
treatments are few and short
Thorough seasoning should always
htCNNAO AtAAiihSAdllOu. Even -NI1
wood is unfit for treatment after a
heavy rain and when thus saturated
should be permitted to dry for at least
three days.
Bark retards or prevents the pene-
tration Of the preservative into the
wood. 1t also uselessly increases the
cost of treatment by itself absorbing
oil Feeling the posts before treat
ment is, therefore, necessary. Even
the paper inner bark should be care
fully removed.
The tops Of posts should be cut
obliquely TO shed rain water. A bevel
made with an AK is preferable to one
made with saw because it is
smoother. Beveling is particularly
important If the tops of the posts are
not TO be treated.

FORTUNES MADE IN SeAWEEo
Turned into Food. Clothes, Boots. Med
lcine, Furniture, Fertilizer ana
Many other Articles.

Seaweed is rapidly establishing
claim as the greatest friend of man.
and many new uses are being discov-
cred for it in foreign countries.
II the experience Of the japanese
and the jewellers on the western shores
OF Norway. Scotlsnd and Ireland is to
be accepted. there are huge fortunes
to be made from seaweed. The Jap
anese. including the Formosans. en-
ploy some 100000 persons in the sea-
weed industries. These are mainly
engaged in preparing edible products.
China alone consumes 100000 worth
Of the gelatinous articles every year.
The edible seaweeds of Great Brit
ain and ireland are advancing in pop
uiarity even among London epicures.
Served with roast meats they are
said 10 be extremely 1alatable.
The London industry which employs
Devonshire and Japanese seaweed in
the manufacture of such diverse OBJ
jects as cloth, stout shoes, golf balls,
policemen's boots. picture frames,
marbled floors and electric switch
boards, by no means monopolizes its
uses In Cornwall seaweed is used as
a fertilizer for the land in France it
finds utility as a stiffener for mat
tresses and a size for straw hats. The
native fishermen of South Australia
make ropes and fishing nets from local
varieties.
Iodine, a chemical of great medicinal
value. claims seaweed as It's principal
source. The production of ''kelp." or
burned seaweed, which is the first
stage in its preparation. is an industry
that is rapidly developing in north
western Europe. The hardy kelp
burners of the Hebr:des and Irish
coast have now strong rivals in Scandi-
navia, and in one Norwegian province
at least the revenue from this work
already exceeds that derived from fish
ing and agriculture.
In America it has been found TO be
a valuable source Of potash. greatly
needed as a fertilizer
