Nome. the most northerly city in
the world, built on the shifting sands
of the shores of Boring Sea, was half
wrecked this week from the effects of
gale that piled the high tide waters
deep in the streets of the city, tearing
out half of the business section of the
town and wrecking hundreds Of houses.
After the storm had abated an inven-
tory showed that at least 500 buildings
we're wrecked. There was but one
who was sleeping in his cabin on the
beach when the waters first began to

ATTEND FARMERS INSTITUTE.

Several times during the last few
years-last year especially-ef efforts
have been made by different farmers of
the county and the local Chamber of
Commerce to arrange for a short agri-
cultural course for farmers of two or
three days duration, but the plans mis-
carried, so the fact that during all of
next week experts from the Pullman
State College will conduct an institute
in Olympia directly designed to aid the
farmers of Thurston county should
bring to the city during the week ev.

study of his business.

that State College officials whose bust
ness it is to test and experiment all
possible methods will discuss for your
benefit what their study has shown to
be the best methods that can be used.
Here not merely book learning" but
the results of actual field tests will be
presented to you in an effort to show
you how to make the most of your
farm.
There certainly should be no need
of urging the farmers of Thurston
county to attend this institute. To
make money these days, to advance
and develop their property as they
should, in fact, to amount to some
thing. the farmers must study and in
vestigate and experiment, must keep
constantly on the alert. Here is a big
opportunity to crowd lot of study and
investigation into short period; the
farmer who wants to make something
of himself and his farm most certain
ly will take advantage of it.
Come here every day if you possibly
can't will be more than worth your
time, but If you cannot do that, be sure
to attend on those days when the sub
jects in which you are particularly in
terested will be discussed.

ONE WEEK OF THE NEW TARIFF.

ONE WEEK OF THE NEW TARIFF.
For nearly seven days now the Unit
ed States has been doing business I'M
der the new Democratic tariff law and
the "demnition bowwows" are not yet
in sight. On the other hand, banks
and other agencies are reporting a
much better condition of affairs than
at this same time last year and a vast
and constant improvement of the sit
uation, financial and commercial, over
"a few months ago.
The new tariff law is one of the most
far-reaching revisions of tariff rates
and revenue laws for many years.
Heretofore we had been skeptical
about tampering with it and we had
anticipated disastrous results from any
reduction. Why has not disaster fol-
lowed the enactment of this measure?
We prefer to let standpat Republi-
can newspaper answer that question.
We quote from the Seattle Post Intelli-
gencer:
The general impression in well in
formed circles is that the first effect of
the end of the uncertainty will be a de-
cided stimulus to trade. The manu-
facturers who shave most to fear from
the effects of the new tariff law have
been running solely on existing orders,
and so long as those orders continue
in the present volume and at the pres
ent prices they will certainly continue
to keep running. They have no sur
plus stock on hand, nor, indeed, have
any of the jobbing houses. All have
been doing hand-to-mouth business
pending such time as the tariff bill
was to take effect, that it's actual re-
suits could be determined.
The country is well prepared to
meet the changes. There will be no
sudden reversals in trade currents on
account of the new law. The change
Will be gradual, and the country as a
whole will adjust itself to the change,
whatever direction 1t may take. If
there are evils, everyone is bound to
do his best, as matter of self protec-
ton. to minimize rather than to exag-
gerate them. The country will have
fair trial of the new law under ideal
conditions for making the experiments.
There is the reason, concisely stated.
In the next few months we will see it
put to the test. Present indications in
the business world are more optimistic
than at any time for several years.
The inherent American determination
to make good" will keep them so. An
ERA of good feeling" is undoubtedly
before us.

DESTROYING THE LAST BARRIER.

DESTROYING THE LAST BARRIER.
Today the final barrier which with.
holds the flow of water from one end
of the Panama canal to the other will
be blown out and the dream of Gen.
turtles, an inter-oceanic waterway
across the isthmus, will be an estab.
lished fact.
Cities all along the Coast, from Pu.
get Sound to San Diego, propose to
celebrate the day in various ways, to
herald the emancipation of the worlds
shipping and the placing of Pacific
Coast ports on a equality with the
rest of the world, for the opening OF
the canal means prosperity for the
whole Pacific Coast. How great q
stimulus it will give to our develop
ment, what the measure of the result
ing progress will be, no one knows, nc
one can tell
Here in Olympia and Thurston coun
ty, while we are celebrating the day
we should keep it in mind, should pom
der little over what it means to us
The last barrier is to be broken today
how much of significance is there il

LISTER AND MARBLE.

"Shootin' off at the mouth" is the
common complaint of peanut politi-
clans" We see it carried on TO high
degree of efficiency in the average leg
islature: once in whilY a person
gets attached to one OF the state de-
partments for one purpose or another
who is quite ELUSIVE in this respect.
We have had sample of it during the
last week.
Such a person is McArdle. official
something or other of the state board
of accountancy in State Auditor Clau
sens department, bureau styled by
the Republicans themselves as the
board of incompetency." In reality
McArdle is the tool of some under
handed Republican politicians to dog"
Governor Lister; that is the sole pur-
pose of his connection with the state
auditors department and his sole bus
ness. McArdle himself probably would
tell you that if he happened to be in
sincere and truthful mood.
Last week McArdle took occasion to-
froth at the mouth about Governor Lis
ter. He said nothing-he simply froth-
ed, about the same kind of froth he got
he nearly cried on the floor of the
house in attempting to explain his un-
warranted attack on Mrs. Lister when
he tried to deliver bill late at night
at the executive mansion. The COVER
nor's action in this last instance was
to direct letter to State Auditor Clau-
sen practically demanding McArdle's
removal on the ground that in making
his report on the salmon hatcheries he
had failed to include a deficiency ap-
preparation of $4,000 for this depart
ment, the governors letter closing with
the following statement: Feeling
that it is your desire to have only COM
petent men employed in the depart
ments under your control l feel it my
duty to call to your attention the con-
McArdle, one of the state examiners
employed by you."
McArdle's mouth has been shut since
his chief received that letter. We pre-
sumo we ought to be charitable toward
him. He is merely the tool, the un-
derdog, the man who does the dirty
work" for group of INSCRIPTIONS pol
iticians. man who perhaps should be
pitied were it not not for the SUPPOSE
ton that he possesses the power of Sc
lection and discretion in sufficient de-
gree to enable him to choose the en-
ployment he prefers. He is dirty pol
itician of the old school, whimpering
remnant Of the old guard and as such
he is too small and mean for further
consideration.
