to the mines or pockets are the mar

away precipitously for hundreds upon

Young Genius" to
Use Marvellous
Instrument.

" HE greatest telescope in the world
is in process of construction al
Fore River. Mass. This is the
mounting for the 100-inch rehector
which is TO be set up at the Mount Will
son Solar Observatory. near Pasadena,
Cal. for the use of the young genius,
to whom Andrew Carnegie declares the
whole world will listen in few years.
II will be one of the by-products of the
famous shipbuilding firm which has
turned out as staple products such
fighting machines as the North Dakota
and the Nevada.
The telescope tube will be big enough
TO speed an automobile through. IL
viii be balanced so delicately that
child's finger will move it.
The weight Of the lens for which the
tube is designed is 5000 pounds. II
will be tested so carefully that an err
ror of one two millionth of an inch
will be disclosed so completely that 1t
may be measured with an ordinary
yardstick. The total weight of the
mounting will be 100000 pounds, not
counting in such items as the elevator,
the mercury which the tanks will con-
tain. the counter rails, and a lot more.
The tube proper will weigh $4,000
pounds. the frame or yoke in which the
tube will be balanced $1,000 pounds,
and the north pedestal another $4,000
mounds

the mirror to Fore River TO try out It's
mounting. Instead, the mirror recep-
tacle will be machined to gauge taken
from the lens, and at the test the mir
ror cage will carry a lens equivalent.
The great tube-forty- three feet long
is made much on the plan OF city
steel skyscraper, story rising above
story. and all made of structural steel.
But, instead of filling the tube with
solid materials. as is done when the
tall building climbs skyward, it is left
oren, so that the telescope tube is a
basketwork cylinder looking somewhat
like the basket masts of the battleships
at the navy yard.

two are kicking over what they
choose to pronounce a refusal on the
part of the state to cooperate with
them in testing their cows for tuber-
culosis. The objection is absurd.
The state will inspect mich cows
for tuberculosis only when Is or
more are assembled at a point. That's
right. The farmers kicking are ruff
fed up because the inspector won't
make a trip to their individual farms
to inspect a COW or two at a time.
That's wrong. We're all kicking
about taxes: we all know under the
legislation enacted by the last Repub-
lican legislature, our state admins
tration is costing too much. But
those "sore" farmers don't use their
heads. 1t would cost lot of money
to put enough inspectors on to call
at every farm house having a COW
and inspect them. 1t would cost too
much. The farmers can afford to as
semble their cows in punches of Is
or more. It's economy to the state
and to the taxpayers and, therefore,
to themselves.

Mayor Little on Oysters.
(Raymond Review.)

In another column OF the Review
will be found a notice given by the
state fish commissioner that sealed
bids will be received up to March
"a for the sale of merchantable oys-
ters on the Nema and Long Island
and State Oyster reserves. The fish
commissioner is absolutely wrong in
the position he has taken in regard
to this matter. The oystermen should
oppose this movement by every legi-
innate means. We would advise
that an injunction at once be obtain
ed and the whole matter threshed
out in court as to the right OF the
state to sell these oysters in this man
ner. The fish commissioner is posi-
lively wrong and 1t should be an
easy matter to demonstrate this to
the satisfaction of the court.

Press Comment


Concerning The Farmers Committee.
mason Go. Joarnal.)
The farmers committee which has
been investigating county affairs in
Thurston county, has published an
exhaustive report OF the way funds
are expended, particularly for roads
and bridge work. The committee
made an examination of the methods
in various road districts, and also
with reference to the purchase of
road machinery and bridge and road
contracts, and found much to criti-
else. For instance they asked why
al the road machinery was purchased
or beall & Company. of Portland;
why certain bridge company got all
the contracts under emergency; why
the inspection of roads frequently
cost more than the construction: why
the recommendation of certain good
roads associations were ignored in the
appointment of road surepvisors;
why certain road funds have been
juggled. making it difficult for an out
slider to determine exactly what was
done by the officers, etc In fact,
many of the criticisms sound strange
ly familiar.

Agrees Exactly With the Standard.

HSTCCS LAdStIN WIFI tIlc StdHlaru.
(Lynden Tribune.)
The newspapers are only doing
their duty in discussing the high
rates of taxation and extravaganza in
public government. 1t is through
their efforts mainly that inefficient
government and high taves will be
lone away with. If the big railroad
companies which are, and which have
for years been fighting almost every
county assessor and treasurer in this
state will pay their taxes instead Of
dilly-dallying in the courts about
them, there might be a slight reason
for railroad immigration agent find
ing fault-there is however none
whatever in his derision of the news
papers, to whom, more than any other
factor, is due the extension of rail-
roads-their increase in business,
and the settling up of one of the best
states in the Union, one in which most
of the people are perfectly willing to
abide and have their being. If telling
the truth about the states resources
and the truth about disagreement,
will deter settlers from locating, why
they will have to stay away. There is
no religion higher than Truth. And
the Truth never hindered anyone in
making his choice of an abiding
place, or in making a good invest
ment. Jim Hill should take that i'm
migration agent under his wings for
better instruction. He needs it.

Is Executive Clemency Responsible?
(Tacoma New Helard.)
To what extent the indiscriminate
exercise of the pardoning power by
state executives may be responsible
for the prevalence Of crime and the
development of criminals is a ques-
ton that has received fair share of
attention in discussions incident to
the career Of governors obsessed with
the desire to make a record for emp
tying penitentiaries and overturning
the DEGREES of courts, where senten-
ces of death or long periods of con-
finement have been passed. 1t has
been observable that where such con-
ditions obtain, where the restraints
interposed by law have been lightly
held, there has been an appreciable
increase in offenses; that men have
not only been encouraged to commit
unlawful acts, but that professional
criminals have made these states
their rendezvous, knowing that If de-
tected and captured they may expect
the minimum amount of punishment,

Uncorkino a Bottle.

It often happens that in attempting
to uncork a bottle the stopper Is
forced into the bottle instead, and it
thus floats on the liquid. This would
perhaps not be a drawback were it
not that each time the bottle is to be
emptied the cork comes to the neck
md causes an obstruction, preventing
The flow of the liquid. This a be
avoided very readily, and all that is
aeeded is to bend a piece Of stiff iron
wire in a long U-shape, properly fit
Ding 1t in the neck Of the bottle so
hat the loop portion projects some
what below the neck. Upon overturn-
ng the bottle, the wire loop prevents
HE cork from reaching the neck to OBJ.
