A ROAST" THAT "PETEPED OUT. -

There must have been great qualification to
the Democrats of the state as well as much cha
grin to most Of the Republicans when they dis
covered that the Republicans, in state convention,
could find but thing for which to criticise
Governor Lister-that he had 'fired'' Repub-
cans and hired Democrats.
AS a matter Of fact, there have been fewer
changes among the oficeholders at the statehouse
since Lister elected and the Democrats sue
ceeded Republicans, than is usual even when one
Republican governor follows another. An inves
tigation of the facts will prove that. We might
90 even further and say that the Republican
oficeholders have made relatively more changes
in their departments, although succeeding Repub-
leans, than the governor has in his, and the facts
will more than prove that statement.
1t strikes that the Republicans might better
have said nothing at all about the state admins
traton, if they could find nothing else to crticse
1t occurs to us also that this, intended to be
"roast" on the present administration, indirectly
is high compliment-when an opponent can find
nothing else to deplore the administration must
be mighty good indeed

A DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION

While we this subject of party politics.
we might well go and comment on the gen
eral demand among Democrats of the state for
party convention We may be going little
wrong when we say the demand is general though
the talk is quite prevalent here, but those who
have spoken all favor the idea and Governor
Lister, the nominal head of the party endorses it.
There many ways in which such conven-
ton might help the party in this state. Person
ally, we do not think the party is as badly faction
allied as many would have us think, and while
a convention might serve to cement what differ
ences may remain, we do not believe it would be
worth while from that standpoint, if that were
the only consideration What the party needs is
little more unanimity if possible, regarding it's
senatorial candidates. and such differences are of
persons and not of principles. 1t may be that
state convention would serve to bring about that
desired object and we can only find out by trying

HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTY.

All is not tranquil among the Republicans here
in Thurston county, for that matter as witness the
following comment in the Tenino News last week :
In another column we print an interview of
the Washington Standard with the Olympia chief
OF police and some of Thurston county's officials
in the matter of the recent murder and burial in
trench In the heart of the capital city of new
born babe. That bunch of Thurston county off
Gals in Olympia is, and has for some time been
making very shady record for itself and. it is
reported some OF them have the gall to come up
for reelection this fall. But unless we greatly
miss our guess the law-lovng and law-abiding
voters OF Thurston county will see to it that they
get what's coming to them-'get it in the neck. I"
We think so ourselves-but we are surprised
to hear Republican say So

43,3Ss,l25 SALMON
CAUGHT LAST YEAR
$1,000, 1913 OF THESE CAME FROM
PUGET SOUND. SAYS OAR
WINS REPORT.

| The total number of salmon taken
from the waters of the state of WASH
ington for commercial purposes dur
ing the last fiscal year was 43,389,-
1876. The real number of salmon
caught, according to State Fish Com
missioner L. H. Darwin in announcing
these figures, which will appear in his
annual report soon to be made to
Governor Lister, was larger than this,
as many were taken for the use of
families and no report made.
OF this vast total 39,669,975 fish
were taken in Puget Sound; 1884,
1877 in the Columbia river district;
635,267 in the Grays Harbor district,
and 101,746 in the Willapa Harbor
district.
This great catch went to make the
total of canned salmon pack of g.
869,126 cases, with value of $12,-
937, 006.18; the mild cure pack of
I7,641 tierces with value of $463,-
018.41; the fresh, sailed and smok-
ed output of 17,955,5S0 pounds, with
a value of $1,136,4OS.63.
Forty-seven salmon canneries op-
Grated last year in the state, 80 on
Puget Sound. They employed total
|of 4,254 whites at an average wage
for the season Of $36457, and 2,567
Chinese and Japanese at an average
seasons wage of $4,000. These fig
ures include those actually engaged
in the canneries and do not take into
consideration those engaged in the
taking of fish.
These figures give an idea of the
extent Of the fishing industry in this
state.

A motion was made by McCurdy to
have the case dismissed. The testi-

'Explalns SevGrity OF Lightning.
The large number of thunder
storms during the present season, the
vast amount Of property destroyed
and the unusual number Of lives lost
by lightning has caused no little COM
ment. A Tribune reporter called at
the local Office of the Weather Blu.
reau yesterday and Mr.. Roberts kind
ly explained his reason for the form
alton Of lightning. There Is much
dispute as to the formation or &C
cumulation of the electricity In the
air. That large proportion Of this
electricity is due to friction Of one
layer Of air upon another is generally
conceded. Another method Of cleo
trification is, in Mr.. Roberts 0pin-
ion, due to the evaporation Of the
moisture from the ground. This
aqueous vapor drawn from the earth
by the heat of the sun is charged
with electricity and, in accumulated
form, becomes clouds. The p0ten-
tial of these accumulated vapor par
ticles surcharged with electricity is
enormous. When the strain between
two clouds or cloud and the earth
becomes too great to be resisted,
lightning takes place. The greater
the evaporation Of moisture from the
earth the greater the accumulation
of atmospheric electricity, and con-
sequently the greater the number and
frequency of thunder storms. When
one considers that already during the
calendar year Of 1914, 1881 inches
OF precipitation has occurred at Bis
marck, while the normal for the en-
tire year is but 1854 inches, the ex-
cessive thunderstorms of the past
two months are not to be wondered
