WHAT HAPPENED IN OLYMPIA AND

From The Washington Standard fOl

No. 3O.)

The biggest strawberry thus far re-
ported measures "a inches in cir
conference.
Reliable authority has 1t that the
Puget Sound & Chehalis railroad will
tomorrow make proposition to the
citizens Of Olympia, which, If accept
ed, will ensure the building of rail-
road from here to Montesano at once.
The enterprising citizens of our
sister city of Seattle have girded up
their loins and gone to work to re-
build their ruined city. They are
preparing to restore Seattle on a
scale far more pretentious and en-
during than it was before the fire.
They will come out of adversely with
q bigger, better and more enterpris-
ing city.
The two local sawmills and that at
Tumwater are put to their best eff
forts to supply the present demand
for lumber in Olympia.

They involve, too, loss of publ

the $28,000.0OO Of $50, 700 worth
of cattle. sheep, hogs, eggs, butter
and cheese now purchased from the
more frugal and more fortunate citi
zens of other states.
It is because of these colossal val
ues and the certain and probable eyi
consequences of popular approval Of
these initiative measures that the
Stop-Look-Listen league is seeking
to warn the people of the state
against a course fraught with grave
dangers for them. Washington can
not afford to pay $1OO.O0O.0OO fol

!: WHAT OUR FATHERS READ ABOUT
!: IN THIS PAPER FIFTY WEARS AGO
(FrOm The Washington Standard fOl
June IS, 1854. Vol.
w. No. S2.)

At the head of Dur columns today
will be found the names of Lincoln
and Johnson, the nominees of the
Baltimore convention for president
and vice president of the United
States for the next four years. The
result of the convention has been
just what we anticipated. Every
state voted for Abraham Lincoln on
the first ballot. except Missouri. The
nomination of Andy Johnson was
equally unanimous and will prove
very satisfactory to all honest, we'll
meaning Union men.
Our much-respected townsman
Gen. w. w. Miller, has returned from
a visit to the Atlantic states, looking
hale and hearty as usual. He says
the almost universal opinion of lead
ing men in the East, including army
officers, is that the rebels cannot by
any possibility hold out more than
two or three months longer.
1t has been proposed by many
Union friends to organize "Lincoln
and Johnson" clubs throughout the
Territory. The suggestion is good
one.
At a meeting on Monday last to
devise means for the proper obser-
vance of our national holiday, fl
nance committee was appointed to
collect funds and committee on ar
rangements to carry into effect the
objects of the meeting. The program
decided upon is picnic dinner, ora
ton, reading of the Declaration OF
Independence and a subscription ball
in aid of the Sanitary Fund in the
evening. The citizens of SteilacoOm
Seattle and other places on the Sound
and elsewhere in the Territory and
the loyal American citizens in Van
couver, are cordially invited, by reso,
luton to participate with us. Mr.
p. d. Moore has been selected as ora
tor and Mr.. e. Giddings reader.

The Standard

Measure No. 6, would help to deprive
the state of investment capital now
imperatively needed to develop our
resources. Estimates made by the
bureau Of statistics show that we ev-
cry year send out of Washington for
cattle, sheep and hogs, ON the hoof,
and for butter, cheese and eggs, any
where from $28, 100000 to 100000
900. That does not take into the
reckoning the large quantities of
fresh and salt meats shipped into the
state.
The convict road bill, Initiative
Measure No. 10, would close the
100000 jute mill at Walla Walla,
impair the usefulness of our refor-
matories and cause other losses be-
cause of the inferior quality of labor
employed in road construction.
What losses might result from Ini-
tiative Measure No. Z, which proposes
to abolish the bureau of inspection
and supervision of public Offices, it is
not possible to determine, though the
savings which have resulted from the
bureaus work, amounting to more
than half million dollars, will justi-
fy the conclusion that this measure
also will impose pecuniary losses up
on the state. Likewise Initiative
Measure No. ~, which abolishes the
tax commission, undoubtedly would
result in losses because it would put
upon the public service commission
more work than it is able efficiently
to perform.
Washington's assessed values now
amount to only $1,O14.457,027. About
one-half of this aggregate, or $780,
297,919, is in the three larger coun-
ties, King, Spokane and Pierce. Com
bined, these initiative measures would
throw upon these larger counties a
crushing burden and cause an enor-
nous shrinkage in useful values, and
other counties in the state would not
escape their proportionate share of
these losses.
Leagues Summary of Cost.
Summarized these initiative meas
ures involve, not only the industrial
establishments of the state with an
army of between $4,000 and 200,-
600 employees and payroll of about
100000 year, and the more
than $4,000. 200 in value labor an
nually adds to the raw products of
the state, but they also involve the
furnishings and fixtures of many of
the offices, hotels, restaurants and
lodging houses, steamboats,, sailing
vessels, launches and other water
craft, tools and implements used in
processes OF manufacture, fish traps
