Referring to the hosiery mill at the
State penitentiary. the governor says

Discussing the board Of pardons the
governor comes to the conclusion that
the members are not ampy paid for
the work done. He expresses the

respectable salary attached to it so
as to place 1t upon a dignified plane

After calling the attention Of the
general assembly to his previous
charges against the alleged cotton
mill mergers the governor says that

BIG STAKES ARE UP
BLOWS HIMSELF TO PIECES
Oespondent Lover Uses Dynamite
Cap in an Attempt to End His
Life.

ColVille, Wash.-John Bechler a
blacksmith and homesteader of Crys-
tai Falls, was found dying on a lonely
trail near the home of David Steel a
farmer, living in White Lake six
miles east Of Colville. An examina-
ton disclosed the fact he had appar.

suicidal intent.
Last fall he went to Pennsylvania to
visit his sweetheart, whom he discov-
cred through a correspondence agen-
cy, He said he had received assur-
anCe "a soon as he accumulated
enough money they would be married.
He has been sending her money, it is
said, at the rate of $25 month, and
more as his means would permit, from
his earnings as a blacksmith, but for
several weeks he has not heard from
her and the silence worried him. Ap-
parently he lay down, placed the dyna-
mite cap attached to fuse under his
head, applied the match and awaited
results.
Almost the whole side of his head
was blown off. He was unconscious
when found
He has no relatives here, but came
from the east about six years ago and
took up homestead. He was taken
to the Colville sanatorium.

SHAFTS OF FRANCE COSTLY
Government Completes inventory and
Valuation of Many of Its Fa-
nous Monuments.

Paris.-All Americans who know
Paris will be interested in the result
OF curious inventory just taken by
the French government. The objects
inyentoried were the national monu-
ments of France. The actual cash
value of each has been figured out, so.
now, for the first time, it is possible
for the visitor TO this country to real
ize, when he stands before the Louvre,
the Pantheon Or The Eiysee palace,
exactly what sum OF money it repre-
sent5.
Many of these figures are stupen-
dous. Huge as they are they repre-.
sent merely the brick and mortar
value of each building and monument,
as if" to quote the official report.
there were a question of construct
ing them at the present day, without
taking into account the value of the
site" Nor, it might be added, of the
priceless value of the contents of the
buildings.
AS a result Of this inventory, the
whole value of the national monu
ments-fyom the Louvre itself to tho
least valuable one in the list-the me-
mortal to Marshal Ney-is 1,795,245,-
49S francs, or roughly $359,049,30O.
The most valuable item in the list is
not the Louvre, but the famous for
mer royal palace at Versailles, which,
as building alone, Is worth over
$4,000 000
The Louvre and what is left of the
Tuileries represents $56,874, 400 aud
the famous Paris opera house, $1O,-
100000. One could, it seems, rebuild
the Pantheon for practically the same
figure, while the Luxembourg is worth
81, 225,100, and the Elysee palace. the
residence of the president OF Paris, u
paltry $4,000.
Not SO long ago a FTenehwoman
millionaire desired to buy the Arc de
Triomphe, which Napoleon built to
celebrate his victories, and under
which the Prlssians marched into
Paris, and to remove it on the ground
that 1t interfeTed with the view from
her bedroom window. She was in
formed that the arch was not for sale.
Now it appears that the monument
would have cost her, as 1t stands, $4.-
100000.

On COOKING Potatoes.

There are two simple ways of max
ing potatoes taste twice as good. The
first is to add little sugar to the wa
ter in which they are boiled This
imparts an appetizing flavor. The sec
ond is to grease the potatoes intended
for baking before they are placed in
the oven Ham fat or bacon are ex-
cellent for this purpose, though olive
oil could be used also. The grease
keeps the skin from baking too hard
and the absorption gives a delicious
taste to the potato when done.
