COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
"TEMPUS FUGITs" SOME MORE.

Tomorrow the third year of the present owner
ship of The Washington Standard begins. The
past two have planted it firmly in the confidence
of the people OF the city and the county and have
brought to it constantly increasing patronage
from the merchants of the city. What does the
next hold forth? Continued progress, we hope,
into the good graces of the people of this terri
tory, progress made possible and warranted by
its own improvement, policy and sincerity 1t
shall be our every endeavor to make that progress
the determining factor in it's management and we
trust and hope the benefits that will to it
because of that progress will be rightly merited
1t is not necessary for us to repeat that The
Standard is the Oldest paper in the state, nor to
ray again that it has the largest net paid circu-
Ation of any newspaper published in Olympia
covering field distinctively and exclusively its
own. Our every effort in the past has been to
make it farmers paper, particularly for the far
mers living in Thurston county, and the fact that
it has been well received by them and is read
by SO many of them leads us to believe that we
have accomplished part, at least, Of what we
set out to do
It has opinions of it's own. You know that.
But you know, too that its editorial columns and
its news columns are distinct and separate and
that, whatever its opinion may be on matter of
common interest," it endeavors to present all sides
fairly from the news standpoint and, above all
else, to tell the truth. Mistakes of course, will be
made if we were infalible we would not be run
ming q newspaper--but we have endeavored to
keep those mistakes at the minimum. We have
sought to learn the truth to tell it to you-and
that will always be our policy.
The future looks to us to be particularly
bright for Olympia and Thurston county, and we
are glad to be here and to have small part in
what will come about Our constant aim will be
to assist and not to obstruct to push forward and
not to lag behind, to work for everything that will
help to make that future as bright as it ought to

TrainlOad of Threshers Proves Re-

The following prosperity note" is
taken from the last issue of the
Weekly Sentinel, published at Ionia

During the last few weeks the re-
port has come from the western
states where wheat is the staple crop,
that bumper yield could be expect
ed. Such reports have usually prov
en- fallacious and little attention has
been paid to them. Now that thresh-

droughts have interfered, a great cry

wages are being paid. A trainload
of over 80 threshing machines went

TOO EASY" MONEY FOR FARMERS.

In this time when the rural credits question is
commanding SO much attention, an Eastern news
paper takes the opportunity to discuss what it
calls the other side Of the farm question, and
its viewpoint is expressed as follows:
The United States has prospered since 1896
partly because the crops in the main have been
bounteous, partly because the farmers have been
able to unload the burden of fixed charges by pay
ing off their mortgages, and largely because their
surplus earnings have gone into supplies that
have stimulated industry and trade. They should
have recalled to them, we think, the times when
they were working from sunrise to sunset to meet
interest charges, and it should be borne in upon
them that, far as the day of settlement is con
eerned it will be just inevitable under the farm
loan clause of the act as it has been under
the most exacting form of mortgage
The thought in that last sentence is one we
should of course keep always before us Some
day the farmer will have to pay back what he
borrows, no matter under what system the loan
is made. Too easy money for farmers this
newspaper thinks, will be as great handicap to
the country as 'too hard, /" adding, the agricul-
tural section of the country has been through farm
mortgaglng periods more than once, and never
with satisfaction. The year 1896 brought to the
close one OF the worst of these periods. From
that time until recent date the farmers have
been paying off their mortgages, reducing their
fixed charges. making improvements and them
selves lending money at interest
The comptroller of the currency estimates that
about $50G000,000 in national banks throughout
the United States will be available for farm mort
gage loans under the new federal reserve banking
act That much money released for proper use

Herrick who has been in FL PasO for
