Popular Mechanics Magazine for April.
Few people can write description
of ship, a machine, natural phe-
nomenon or a strange custom so graph
ically, completely and yet concisely
that everyone who reads will see the
thing described as the author saw it,"
says an editorial in Popular Mechan-
les Magazine, but hundreds of paid
and volunteer correspondents in every
part of the world send us descriptions
that need no translations, drawings
that are as accurate as the processes
of nature-news written with the cam
era in the only universal language"
This claim is ably substantiated by
the April number which contains $50
articles and $50 illustrations, every
article written so you can under
stand it," and every picture telling a
story of it's own.
The feature article of the month,
from which the handsome cover design
is taken, gives an authoritative list Of
the Fortunes in Prizes Waiting to Be

Legislature PASSES into History.

douglas County Press.)
The 18th Washington legislature has
just passed into history and we are not
sure whether to cry, laugh or cuss.
When we look at the antics of some
legislator with his little bill, imagin-
ing himself statesman, we are in
cjiped to mirthfulness, and when we
see others who ought to know better
allowing themselves to be tied up in
petty little trades-thus attempting
to be smart "hoss" traders-we are in
clined to tears at their weakness.
But when we see others turn loose
in such an extravagant manner as to
show a desire to loot the public, piling
up appropriation after appropriation
without any regard to the income or
the state or the ability of the taxpayer
to meet the expenditure, when we see
all this riot of extravaganza, we are in
clined to sulphurious language, and
the man or woman who would not
would be an angel indeed.
The vicious system of trading and
barter was openly carried on and even
some of the legislators Dragged OF 1t.
cannot be tolerated and Keep
legislation clean. 1t can be killed and
could have been in great degree dur
ing this legislature had the few Dem
ocratic members had the same kind OF
nerve the governor had. Vicious meas
ures are gotten up for the purpose OF
The moment legislator with
a meritorious bill consents to trade Tor
a vicious bill he becomes a party TO 1t
and is tarred with the same stick.
And, however honest he may be, MS
to his constituency is gone,

Press Comments



Politically considered. while the 18th
legislature has introduced to the peo-
pie of Washington many new charac.
tiers, it is Ernest Lister who has occu-
pied the spotlight position and attract
ed chief attention.
The new governor undoubtedly has
teneflted politically as the result of
his strife with the legislature for not
only has he seen his veto actions up
held in every instance except in the
case of Cheney normal, and the two
branches coming at last to accept in
every detail his road program, but he
also witnessed, during the last few
days of the session, the complete break
ing down of the house machine. which
was principally responsible for oppo-
sition to his policies.
Furthermore, Lister has developed
as a fighter, which appeals to a large
portion fthe voting population and
at the same time has made every eff
fort to carry out the economy pro-
gram advocated in his campaign,
which should help his cause with the
taxpayers.

No Extra Session Needed.


1t is said that State Senator Allen
of Seattle handed Governor Lister a
letition signed by majority of the
members in each branch of the state
Legislature, requesting the governor to
call an extra session next January.
The state has no need of such SEES
sion. The state is not badly in need
of new laws or the repeal of old ones.
The legislature has just closed ses-
sion without accomplishing anything
worth while and we have no assurance
that the bunch Of legislators would do
any better at a special session. In
fact all they accomplished worth while
in the last session should have been
disposed of in five days. They have
saddled enough burdens upon us for
the next two years (about $25 for each
man, woman and child) and we want
no more of them. An extra session
would mean extra taxes and a whole
lot of political rot. The people have
had enough of it and will rejoice to see
the legislators stay at home for the
next two years at least

SOreheads Want New State.

(Asotin County Sentinel)
In both North Idaho and Eastern
Washington, there are number of pol
iricians-you might call them political
soreheads--who, having failed to get
all OF their pet measures through the
respective legislature, have taken it
upon themselves to assert that they
want to form new state out of East
ern Washington and Northern Idaho,
and propose to start a movement to
that end Immediately. There is no
just demand for another state. The
opportunity when such a thing might
have been accomplished went by years
ago, and the chances are all the agita-
ton that can be mustered in support OF
the movement is just so much time
and effort wasted. Southern Idaho is
vastly in the majority and those peo-
pie will never submit to letting the
northern part of the state get away
from them; nor will Western Wash
ington let the eastern part of the state
get away from this great common
wealth. Further there is no just rea-
son why another state should be form
ed, and if good sound business men
will pay no attention to the move
ment, the noise of the politicians will
not amount to very much in matter
like the formation of new state.

KuSkOkWin Looks
 Very Promising
O-O

Capt. Charles l.. Peabody, who came from New York to join Robert Plate in an expedition to the Kuskokwim, speaks very highly of the country's possibilities. The particular locality that receiYtd their attention is on a tributary of the great river known as the Kickuralak, coming into the Kus- kokwim about 100 miles from the mouth of the latter. They ascended this tributary about 65 miles to the point they wished to examine. Their location consists of a ledge of tremen- dous dimensions but little or nothing is known of the values it may contain. It was too late to accomplish any work and they left a party of five men to work during the winter under Pad dy Boyle and B. Finder, the assayer, formerly of Juneau.
 The run down river to Good News Bay was made in small row boats amidst floating ice and they were very glad when they reached their destina- ton.
 The KuskOkwim is a wonderfully promising looking country, Capt. Pea body says. and is fairly filled with min eral zones carrying all kinds of met als. There is. as yet, nothing known of the values that may be found in these veins that traverse the country. and no estimate can be placed on the possibilities It will require consider able work he says, to demonstrate what is there, but the field is very large and looks temptingly good.
 Capt. Charles L. Peabody, who is associated with Frank Harvey with offices at 135 Broadway. New York, and engaged in business as general fiscal agents, is not unknown to the North, having been at one time mas ter and manager of several Yukon river steamers. He helped to found the city of Fairbanks. His present mission North was to join MT. Plate, the we'll known mining engineer on the expedition to the Kuskokwim.

VALUABLE TIN BEARING
 QUARTZ NEAR HOT SPRINGS

SEATTLE, Nov. 24- A. O. Ander- son, one of the pioneers of Alaska has discovered tin-bearing quartz in the granite belt of the Hot Springs district, Panama Valley, which, accord ing to assays just completed, is one of the most valuable ever made in all the Northern territory.
 Nine claims have been located by Anderson and his partners, covering in area all of Moose Mountain, which rises about eighty miles from the mouth of the Panama river, and speci- ments were brought to Seattle for as say from the 16-foot level of these claims. It ran $146 to a ton at local assay office.
 Anderson made his dicovery three years ago and has kept it secret until assays have made certain it's value
 When Sullivan Creek was first work ed tin nuggets were found thickly in- termingling with the gold nuggets, and not recognizing the placer tin, the min CTS for long time threw it away. Now many valuable shipments of placer tin, running in value up to $500 a ton, are sent to Swansea, Wales, from the Sul- livan Creek placer diggings.
 The operations of Anderson and his partners have not gone entirely un- known. Anderson is known among practically all the old timers in Alaska and his work in the vicinity of Moose Mountain has been watched
 "At first" Anderson said, "I was laughed at Now they are all kicking themselves for not waking up sooner" '"
 "This summer l had working with me Sam Hokley, who perhaps is known as well as any one of the old Klon- dikers remaining in Alaska He has chased the end of the rainbow nearly all his life and was among the first into the Butte country, Colorado, and the Occur d'Alene district. He was skeptical and would not believe my quartz contained tin until I broke up some rock and burnt out the tin in a gold pan. Now he believes Moose Mountain is all tin"
