WHAT HAPPENED IN OLYMPIA AND
STATE TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO


From The Washington Standard for
October IL, 1890. Vol. XXI.
No. AZ.
The front page Of this issue is given
over to articles concerning Olympia
and its claims as the proper city for
the capital. in it's campaign for the
election November 4, 1890.
The Union Pacific will be in Olympia
before she IL In Tacoma and It is
more than likely the new line will be
operated from this point.
The population Of Olympia has in
creased 1000 since census week and
the influx is yet undiminished.
Private letters from all over the
eastern portion of the state bring
cheering reports as to the sentiment
on the capital question. Like the
handle of jug. it is all on one side,
all for Olympia.
The new passenger house now in
process of building near the end Of
Long bridge, for the Port Townsend
Southern railroad. is model of con-
venience and elegance. In few days
more 1t will be the starting point for
trains.
The Postal Telegraph is now COM
pleted between this city and Port
Townsend.
1t is estimated that wheat and hops
will bring into to the state Of Wash
ington this season about $12.00o,o00
lumber and coal about $15,000,000,
and that railway construction will
bring in $20.0O0.000 in the next IS
months.

and Dain & Fitch of Yelm

Tumwater and Dain & Fitch Of Yelm
also attracted much attention and
favorable comment. Though the ac-
tual entries are fewer than expected,
the display as a whole is classed as
excellent and very representative of
the different classes of stock in the
county. Among the dairy cattle are
Jerseys entered by Christensen, Haw-
thorne and Fred w. Carlyon; Guern-
seys by A. H. Kiser, Jay Bolster and
Benjamin Curr, and Holsteins by
General Hazard Stevens. Angora
goats are displayed by Nate Morris
OF. Yelm and General Stevens.
Dain & Fitch of Yelm, with their
Duroc-Jersey swine. and s. w. Shu-
mate of Tumwater are the only exhib-
itors in the hog division and both
have been competing at other nearby
fairs. Three Berkshires and six
Duroc-J Jerseys he had not shown at
the other fairs are included in Shu-
mates exhibit, which totals 80 head.
Only one Of the Oranges Of the
county entered q community exhibit,
Pleasant Glade, in which almost
every kind of farm productsis shown.
In this same exhibit tent is shown the
U. S. parcel post display, which is
proving to be center Of interest to
the farmers of the county, who are
learning there how they can use
Uncle Sam to sell many of their
products direct to the consumer.
Here also are the exhibits of the
county weights and measures depart
ment, the Buckeye Extract company,
the Capital City Creamery, "Fruju"
and "Loju" by the Fruju Fruit Prod
ucts company, and the exhibit of the
Olympia Dairy Products company,
consisting of a pyramid of ice cream,
butter and egg cartons, a display of
eggs and butter, six runs OF full
cream cheese and tubs of cattage
cheese. Nearby is an exhibit of farm
implements ny T. y. " oAAOh " Oo''
in another part of the grounds, near
the livestock department, is the dis
play of "Tung-Lok" silos and tanks
by the Union Lumber company of
Union Mills, while in one of the spe-
cial departments j. M. Frederickson
has on display the feed wheel OF the
first power lumber mill in the state OF
Washington, which was located at
Olympia.
Another of the interesting exhibits
of the Fair is that of the county game
farm, where are shown II varieties
Of pheasants, two of guineas, wiid
turkeys and a wild turkey hen and
her young, and China, Golden and
Amherst cocks
A complete list of the prize win
ners will be printed in next weeks

$5,OO0,OOO Chinese steamship

A $5,OOO,OOO Chinese steamship
fleet is soon to ply between San Fran
cisco and Chinese ports in competi-
ton with japanese lines. Chinese
merchants in San Francisco and the
Orient have subscribed that sum to
finance the project. John l.. McNab.

600 had ben set aside for instant use
and a committee is quietly obtaining

Thomas A. Edison Should
Invent a Way to Stop This

Like the man in the scriptures who
sold his birthright for pottage Thomas
A. Edison has made a mess Of Ii.
Proclaimed pacifst and quoted often
as a contemner of armed strife. he falls
short of credit for good faith by permit
ting his brilliant inventive genius to be
enlisted in the equipment of submarines
He has not only provided crafts of
destruction with Edison batteries, bat he
has energized the augmentation Of the
war-whoopers.
Look at the great Edison, they
shout; "he's no peace-at-any-pric i'm
practicable. He's for war devices al a
plump price"
Some faithless servant in the Edison
shebang must be responsible for the un-
happy predicament in which the Wizard
of Menlo Park finds himself.
He has always applied his splendid
sorceries to help mankind, TO lift bur
dens, to make life more lveable. 1t is
entirely new role for Edison TO assume
-tnat OF DloOdletter.
They said of Tolstoy that while ne put
out his altruistic writings without rec
ompense-solely to serve mankind--his
wife would go around and make salts
factory arrangements with the publish
ers.
Somebody is making arrangements
with the submarines for Edison batter
les while the inventor is dedicating his
great genius and his occasional inter
views to peace and concord among ma
tons.
Edison has insisted that four hours
sleep is all that he needs; but he has
been caught mapping in working hours.
We suggest that he sleep with one eye
open for over-zealous and mercenary as
sociates who are plucking the jewel Of
consistency from his diadem Of public
benefactions.

Father-in-Law's Hams.
We can't all marry rich.

We can't all marry rich.
We may, however, use judgment in
selecting a girl whose father raises
plenty of hogs.
Providing his heart is in the right
place, we often play just as safe with
father-in-law and a nice big flock OF
shoates as we do when we attach a
pater-in-law who is the head Of some
money loaning concern.
What gives a man more hope?
What is more cheering and inspiring
than to have the parcel post wagon dock
at the horseback with cargo Of home
cured hams?
If young man has selected a father
in-law with a disposition to contribute
with the ham occasional tmnips. squash.
beans, butter, eggs, etc, he may be said
to have done exceedingly well
A start is thus assured before he
makes start.
There is something in the ownership
of a father-in-law with hams that gives
young man considerable prestige in q
community.
In neighborhood where everybody is
compelled to eat that liquid-smoked ham,
the sight of father-in-law in front of our
house, taking from his Ford a genuine
cob-smoked, sugar-cured ham. excites
just as much interest as a health officer
lacking UP smallpox sign or a dog hav-
ing TT on the lawn.
And speaking about hams. reminds US
Of Christmas.
What present is more useful to a strug-
Cling young husband than father-in-
laws ham, or anybody else's ham, for
