THE SPECIAL SESSION.

On Friday the 2Srd inst, the special session of the Second Legislature will convene at the capi tai by virtue of proclamation issued by the Gov ernor In accordance with the call issued for this special session only matter to be considered will be the general appropriation bill and tax evies for the maintenance operation of the several state institutions There is good and sufficient reason why the legislators cannot pass the appropriation bill and adjourn within week after convening. Any attempt the part of either faction in the leg isfature to indulge in horse play will bring the Second Legislature into worse reputo with the tax payers. A sixty days session was frittered away without the adoption of any remedial, economical legislation. This sixty day session cost the tax payers of the state s55,OoO % and they received nothing in return. The laws which were passed measures of no importance. The best thing the ty measures of no importance The best thing the members of the Second Legislature do is to pass the appropriation bill and get under cover.

THE BOND ISSUE.

Taking all things into consideration believe the Board of Supervisors acted for the best inter ests of the county when they decided not to fur delay the road work in this county and accept ed the only unconditional bid presented last Mon day for the purchase of the bonds in the of $15OOOO OO While it is true that better price could have been received for the bonds provided the legal steps taken by the Board met with the approval of bond attorneys in Cincinatu and NeY York, the Board evidently thought that bird in the hand is worth two in the bush No doubt those claimants against the county, who have been carrying road vouchers for the past four months, will heartily approve of the action of the Board and several law suits have been thus avoided. The county received full par value for it's bonds; the money has been placed in the treasury; old claimants have ben paid of in full; road construc-- tion is again in progress and serious situation has been relieved by the present Board within less than sixty days. Instead of the Board is to be congratulated the able manner in which they have handled the entire matter.

that many office holders secure support not by reason of heir fitness fidelity public duties, but by of senseless, useless and absurd agi tation directed mainly at element within the state that the people at large had been led by these same agtators and their predecessors, to look with evil eye. This particularly apparent during the last session of the Legislature. Consid erable legislation proposed, which, doubt, would have been beneficial to the people at large and logical and useful, but received opposi- tion from well meant and sincere sources. But analysis of the situation reveals the sinister fact, and which bears out conclusions herein expressed, that this opposition initiated, fos- tered and kept up by officials who probably deemed this necessary in order to keep in the public eye A fact which in is direct blow to the interests of the people who have been mis- led.

many regions, however, where native copper appeared at the surface, it is
 probable that it was worked before
 iron, because of the com parative ease
 and simplicity of obtaining it, which
 involved no metallurgy. The Indians Iof the Western United States were acquainted with copper Many ob- Jects fashioned from it have been
 found in mounds. Indications of early working of the Lake Superior copper mines exist, while in Tennes- see there are remains of prehistoric Ismelting plants.
 Copper was first mined in this country in Connecticut in 17O9, and somewhat later in Pennsylvania No in Iortant work was carried on, how lev CT, until the middle of the last cen tlry. In 1845 the whole output of copper was 100 tons, coming from
 Vermont, Pennsylvania, North Caro- lima, Virginia and Georgia. Tn 1911,
 the output was 1,241,762,5OS pounds,
 the production coming from about
 twenty states. Probably the greatest
 mine is the Anaeonda at Butte, Mont, which in 1905 produced 95,500, ,OOO pounds, and in 1913, nearly double that quantity HI. A. McGraw, in the Engineering Magazine.

Editorial Opinion
WAR AND THE wArER-wAeoN

We are fighting Germany, Aus
 tria and drink" Lloyd George is re-
 ported to have said this week, land
 so far as I can see the greatest of these three deadly foes is drink. D
 Continuing, he averred, it is the gen. eral feeling that if we are to settle German militarism we must first of all settle with drink
 Russia has already, with the heavy
 hand of autocracy, put down the sale
 Of vodka. France, which prohibited absinthe before the war, has been systematically restricting the sale of
 the more alcoholic liquors until the
 degree of prohibition within its bord-
 CTS compares favorably with that in many an American ''dry" State It would be tremendous contribution to human progress if England should fellow the example of these nations and if all three, when peace is res. tored, should cling to the policy they |aodpted to give their people efficiency in war
 Revolutionary as this action ap- pears, 1t is but the product of natural evolutionary process. The liquor habit is being eradicated in through the effort for efficiency as through legislation. Railroads long ago began to insist upon abstinence among the men responsible for the
 afety of trains and passengers. Other corporations, with perhaps less ethical reasons, began to insist upon
 among employees responsible for output or for profits. Ambitious indi- viduals, without awaiting the compul- sion of employers, but anxious to ous> race for advancement, adopted abstinence as their practice. Earning a living, winning a place at the top, involves war just as much as driving the enemy out Of Flanders. Accord fngly the army of peace with us has been gradually adopting the policy which the Czar mas proclaimed at a stroke, and toward which France and England are groping under mili- tary leadership.
 The United States is proceeding very satisfactorily toward it's own solution of the liquor problem. If Europe reaches the same conclusion it will be fortunate, even though it took war to teach the lesson. We trust that, once learned, it will not be forgotten. Charles Lamb informs us that the toothsomeness of roast pig was first discovered by a Chinaman whose house burned down with a pig in it. When the viand was wanted thereafter the Chinese always burned a house to roast the pig.
 It is to be hoped that Europe will not have to have series of wars to keep it properly on the water-wagon New York American

A CHANGE IN SENTIMENT.

From communications received and from senti- ment\ expressed at various times in the past few months, coming more and more to the idea that the people, and particularly the taxpayers who mostly the bills arriving at the conclusion that POLITICS strictly construed means EXPENSE, particularly applied in local affairs and when to be honest with ourselves and "cut out all of the red fire" and slap dash" and the hot air" features of political agitation in local matters, find that summed up politics simply means whether John Jones some other more fortunate fellow gets job and after he gets the job his whole inter
 est and efforts directed toward keeping it by exciting the interest and keeping alive the same agitation that gave him employment in the first instance. We must have to public officers it is true, but these should be selected their fitness satisfy the needs of public business. However, it is a lamentab1e fact

PROHIBITION AND JUSTICE COURTS.

the month of February we the statement that forty-six cases were tried in the Justice Courts of the entire county during the first two months of 1915 as compared with One Hundred and Fifty-three cases for the same two months in 1914. The amount of fines collected by Justices of the Peace in Green lee County for the first two months of last year amounted to s1340 45 as pared with $379 35 for January and February of this year. There is but one explanation of the above figures. The abolish ment of the all night saloons in such places Newtown and Metcaf tells the story plain that he who runs may read. If the Justices of the Peace and Constables dependent upon the old fee system for their salaries they would soon be in the hands of Receiver.

THE sIDETRAckED
 LORD OF CREATION


 1 Of course, that Cleveland judge who delivered the opinion that hus- band had legal right to choose his lwife's woman friends could not cite Ichapter and verse for that dictum. It was merely judge-made law. Perhaps if he probed far enough back to the days when women were regarded as chattels he might be able to interpo- late an interpretation from musty pre- cedent, but those days have passed and their archaic laws should pass " ith them.
 No woman," he, says, has a right to associate with other women over her husbands objections 9 We'll, how about the husband? Has he or snould he have any right to associate With other men or women over his wife's objections? No woman has the right to go out night after night without her husband We'll, how about the husband? ''Woman's clubs must not be allowed to destroy a hus- bands happiness. 9 What about mems clubs and the poor little wife sitting up all night waiting, tearfully or wrathfully, according to temperament, for hubby to come home from his club and the fellows?,
 This Lord of Creation business is cut of date in this country, anyway, banished by the growing independence of women and by the greater chivalry  of man. A wife is no longer a chat tel, but partner; no longer an infer ior, but an equal, unless as frequently happens she is indeed the better half.'' The wise husband who has any sensible objections to his wife's wo- man friends will find it better to try diplomacy than resort to domnieering. And the wise wife who has sensible objections to her husbands friends will use tact instead of tears and temper. .-Pittsburg Dispatch.

EARLY USES OF COPPER

Copper is not metal of modern utilization. It was mined and manu- factured in prehistoric times, when it was utilized as a material for the construction of utensils, for domestic use and also for implements of war. It has been generally supposed that the use of copper preceded that of iron, but at present it is believed by students of the subject, that iron was first subjected to human use. In

GROWERS SIGN AGAIN
WITH DISTRIBUTORS

A bulletin sent out by the Spokane
Office Of the North Pacific Fruit Dis
tributors states that growers of differ
ent communities are signing up with
the central agency for the coming year.
Statements made in the bulletin of last
week are as follows:
At the annual meeting of the Yakima
Valley Fruit Growers association this
week, DR.. A. J. Pressey, of Selsh, was
reelected president, and +. Z. Sickels,
Of North Yakima, secretary and man
sger. A majority of the new executive
board in whose hands the management
of the association rests are the same
men who served last year. The old
members on the board, in addition to
Dr. Pressey, are j. J. Rudkin. of Ken
newick, who was chosen treasurer, W.
b. Armstrong, of North Yakima. and
+. l.. Porter, of Donald. The new
members are c. H. Hinman, of South
Mob Hill, Austin woodward, of Sunny
side, and j. +. Snyder, of Zillah. The
full subcentral board of trustees con-
sists of as members, or two from each
of the locals, q of whom served last
year. The contract of the association
with the Distributors is a continuing
one.
The annual report of the Yakima
subcentral revealed that it has handled
2, $50 cars of fruit, including 1870 cars
of apples, this season TO date. At the
same time a year ago it had shipped
l,244 cars and had only 60 cars left to
sell. The returns from sales are S572,-
944 to date; the distributions, including
advances on fruit in storage and for
which returns have not yet been re-
ceived, are S67S,2S4. The actual ex-
pense of operating will be $3.50 per
car this season, as compared to S34.6O
last year. Although the tonnage has
increased S2.5 per cent, the total ex-
pense is only ll.5 per cent more. The
membership has grown from 500 a year
ago to 1902. The report states that
the association will equal its 1912 re-
turns on apples which were the highest
in the northwest. The association ships
a little less than 40 per cent OF the
Distributors tonnage.
The Central ldaho-W ashlngtOn Fruit

tors has notified the central office that
the Ashland Fruit and Produce associa-
tion at its recent meeting voted unani-
mously to continue the existing contract
with the Distributors.
