[ Auburn Globe


Olympia residents are pooh-pooh-
ing the story that there is likely 10
be an initiative measure fled next
year having for its purpose the re-
moval of the seat of state govern
ment from Olympia to Tacoma or
Auburn. They are firmly impressed
with the idea that the late Senator
A. S. Ruth not only slipped the
wheels from under the removal prop
ostion, but so completely destroyed
them and so thoroughly sanded the
skids that a change from Olympia is
an absolute physical possibility. 1t
would be a sad thing even to contem-
plate the depriving of Olympia of the
state pay roll. However, it is whis-
pered in some circles that certain
arguments were advanced by some
one in authority along suggestive
lines appropOs of unilluminated
streets and it's result was ''let there
be light" Lanterns are a temporary
drug on the market.

Duty of Congress.
New York Globe.)

Within the next year the nation
must solve some problems that are
much more serious than the political
advantage of any senator or the local
prejudices of any constituency. Bonn
bast, jingoism, militarism and ex-
IRENE sentimental pacificism are all
preparing to get a hearing from con-
press which they have failed to get
at the White House. good vaca-
ton exercise for members of congress
would be to prepare themselves not
to play politics with the international
issues that the war has forced upon
no but tn show something of the
same spirit which the pubic mas
learned to expect of the president.

there is lack of community inter-
est. People move about SO fast that
they forget who their neighbOrs are
and they are more apt to do bust
ness with total stranger than they
are with the home people. This ap-
plies to business men as we'll as
farmers. And, lastly, there are one
million dollars invested in automo-
biles in Gray's HarbOr county, so
there are a number of reasons why
business is bad.

those who do are paying for all of
the catalogues, and big profit be-
sides.
If a certain article seems to be
priced away below what your home
merchant sells it for, our advice is
that you examine very closely the
description of the goods-and 10 to
you will find the quality also low.
The man who gets up the catalogues
is an artist in ambiguity-you can
apply several meanings to the de-
scriptions given.
However, some of our merchants
are none too particular about trading
at home, and our advice to them is
to lay off calling the kettle black.
About the only one that everyone
expects to buy at home and preach
buying at home is the editor of the
home newspaper.
Oh. very well-we shall do so.

Training Camp Plan Popular.
(ChehaliS Rpe-Nuppet !

The plan now being advocated to
training for citizens is, to our way
of thinking, one of the best plans
ever preached to help put this coun-
try in better shape for defense. If at
least three weeks every year is de-
voted to this kind of training the
country will have citizen soldery
that in case of need would at least
know which end of gun to approach
first. The plan is being successfully
carried out in some parts of the East
and is being held for this state al
American lake this year. The idea
will probably take hold all over the
country.

Catalogues by the Ton.
(Kent JOurnal.)

A big mail order house dropped
$500 pounds of catalogues onto a
medium sized town in the northern
part of this state one day last week.
We use the word dropped" ad-
visedly.
For the dropping of this food of
printed matter onto that town will
have much the same effect as though
a wet blanket had been dropped over
the fire of their enthusiasm for bet
ter, brighter, buster city.
Civic spirit cannot burn brightly
when blanketed with lot of print
ed matter inviting people to send
away their good money for shoddy,
second rate gCo1s.
The business man who sees his
neighbors buying catalogue goods
without even giving him a chance to
show his wares or quote his prices,
is not going to fall over himself in
an endeavor to furnish them with
parks, rest rooms, band concerts, and
other conveniences. ut might be
apropos to ask the catalogue houses
to contribute toward furnishing
these things.)
Nor are the merchants of Kent or
any other city going to carry $780,
900 stock to do $4,000 business.
You wouldn't do it, and you cannot
expect them to.
However, if their customers would
give them a chance to furnish goods
at reasonable prices, and would en-
plain their wants. they might feel en-
couraged to carry a greater variety
of goods and thus attract people
from the neighboring small towns
who now so direct to Seattle 10 buy.
These neighbors would then be help
ing us, and all the money would not
be centralized in the big cities.
In a few days we can expect to
have a bunch of catalogs dropped
onto us.
And on this bunch of junk we re-
ceive absolutely no beneft-even the
postoffice will be burdened.
The catalogue houses tell you that
il costs only about As cents to 90
cents to place their book in your
hands.
Take it from us-wno KNOW pet
ter-it costs all the way from $1.65
TO S1.S5 to deliver that book to you
I'VE are In a position to know about
these things.) And if you consider
that many thousands of people never
use the book, you can figure that

What's that. Did somebody say.
forget it: the burned old thing is
already dead? Well, that's Just what
tne promoters want the stockholders
to believe. They want them to get
thoroughly Disguised and eventually
to forget that there ever was such a
thing as the Crescent well.
One of the pointers given Mr. Will
hanson when he was learning the oil
game was, that there is more money
in putting down dry holes than in
producing OIL"
About two weeks ago, when the
stockholders committee made an at
tempt to find what was at the bottom
OF the hole, Mr.. Williamson came
shopping around and got them rat
tied and for some reason, a week ago
last Sunday, after punching holes into
the casing and letting in the water.
the drillers quit and the next day Mr..
Williamson issued his pronuncia-
'hNh'o w VIC BltoS lidl AS all OH
we'll it is failure"
In the mean time Mr.. Slater and
Mr.. Hoffman are lying low to give
the stockholders time to get used to
the idea that the we'll is dry hole"
They're not worrying. Why should
they? Only they don't want their
dry hole" spoiled, and whenever the
committee decides to do something
rash, they push the ot-off-your-
mouth button and their mechanical
man will do the rest.
The hole being full of water would
not prevent the lowering of a glycer-
inc cartridge through the water to
the proper depth and exploding it and
by so doing accomplish one of two
things-either find Mr.. Williamsons
lost oil or blow the "hoodoo" to
h-kingdom come, and give clear
field to those who are honestly inter
ested in the discovery of OIL
Our advice is, Shoot the Crescent
Well"

The Business Situation Reviewed.

u nTlSIldn science ~
There are daily increasing evil
dences of Improvement in the bust
ness world. Wherever business is
not directly affected by the war it is
showing a marked betterment. In
the United States it is at the begin
ming of veritable boom. Some
lines even now are speeding along at
record rate. Other lines are slower
but inevitably will catch the pace
sooner or later. Bumper crops,
abundant money, larger railroad
earnings, increased bank clearings,
heavier steel and iron production
and generally cheerful tone are in
dcative of the change for the better
that has taken place in the country.
Most impressive of all the crop re-
ports issued by the United States gov
ernment this year was that published
recently by the department of agri-
culture. Prices hold up
we'll, despite the prospects for album
dant harvests, and farmers will bene-
fit accordingly. 1t means prosperity
for all classes, however, for the
crops are the chief basis for all mate
rial wealth. Merchants and manu-
Ifacturers are very cautious in their
buying operations, notwithstanding
the propitious outlook and sound fun
damental conditions. This is not to
be wondered at in view of the trying
times they have experienced during
la period covering several years and
considering the turbulent conditions
prevailing throughout almost every
part of the world. A conservative
attitude is commendable for it pre-
vents overeXpansion. There has long
been a tendency to go to extremes,
and conditions, whether good or bad,
are invariably exaggerated. Conse-
quently in times like the present it is
prudent to steer close to the shore,
even though the business world is
SEVEN-Standard
apparently entering upon most
prosperous era. Conservatism of this
kind will not prevent business from
moving forward. In fact, business
has been steadily improving in face
of much pessimism. Stocks on hand
are reported as exceptionally low, but
this does not prevent continuing ac-
tivity and increasing volume of bust
ness. 1t means more frequent order
ing by merchant and manufacturer,
and possibly slightly higher prices,
but experience has taught that such
a. course is wisest in the long run.
Confidence is steadily gaining and
was stimulated this week by the order
of the interstate commerce commits
sion granting moderate freight
rate increase for the Western roads.
1t looks as if nothing could occur to
Interrupt the onward march of bust
ness.

WHAT OUR FATHERS READ ABOUT
IN THIS PAPER FIFTY YEARS AGO

From The Washington Standard for
September 2, 1868. Vol. v. No. As.
The telegraph informed us few
weeks ago that the Young Mems
Christian Association was about to
purchase Ford's theater, the scene of
the presidents assassination, and con-
vert it into a public library and lee
ture room. 1t appears, however, from
later reports, that the scheme has has
failed for want of funds. Mr.. Ford
announces it as his determination to
reopen the theater.
The Victoria Chronicle says the full
shock of an earthquake was felt in
that city on Monday evening last. The
movement was from west to east and
lasted for fully half minute.
Mrs. Lincoln has been invited by
Queen Victoria to visit England and
the navy department has placed
steamer at her disposal should she de-
termine to cross the ocean.
A meeting has been held in New
York to consider the feasibility of re-
ducing the number of working hours
per day from ten to eight.
The weather has been decidedly
wintry during the past week. A con-
siderable quantity of rain has fallen
and the atmosphere is cool enough to
make fire decidedly comfortable.
One of the "lions" at Washington
lust now is COW which has marched
with Sherman's army since November
10. 1864. and has travelled in all l.

ter of milk daily

Autos Hurt Railroads.
(Ellensburg Capital.)

1t is said that the passenger traffic
between here and Seattle by rail has
been reduced so per cent as result
of the completion of the Sunset high
way and its use by automobiles. and
probably 33 per cent from Yakima
would be fair estimate. So it is all
over the country and the aggregate
is tremendous amount lost tc the
railroads.
