NOW IS THE TIME TO JOIN.

1t happens that in the last few days we have
talked with several farmers who approve the idea
of a cow-esting association but said they
going to wait and ''see how it gets along" before
joining it. When we told them they could not
join any time they wanted to, but must join
if at ALL they started to laugh at us, but they
the point right away when reminded them that
it is physical impossibity for tester to handle
more than certain number of cows in making his
regular tests each month
Perhaps there are others of you who have hest
tated to join the association now practically or
gained, believing you could become member
any time you wanted to, later on, and this com
ment is written to set you straight on that point.
Now is the time to join, if you want the benefits
the association can give-and it would seem like
every dairyman woodland our suggestion is
that you attend the first meeting of the members
of the association Saturday afternoon, sign your
self up with them and get right into this move
ment to improve dairying conditions here, i'm
provement which so directly benefits the man who
owns the cows.

MORE TROUBLE AHEAD?

The announced intention of the city attorney to
advise the city council to disregard the opinion of
the attorney general that the policy adopted by
this city with reference to the extension of the
mains Of its recently acquired municipal system is
illegal, seems 10 us to be borrowing trouble when
there is no need for it. The state official IS opin-
ion was very plainly and unequivocaly put; he is
the highest legal advisor in the state government
and his opinions presumed to hold until
thrown out by court decision; in interpreting and
constituting the laws for the benefit of the state and
county and city authorities he occupies quasi
judicial position, and the unwritten rule and Gus
tom Of all officials has been to accept his rulings
and abide by them; it would seem the part of wis.
dom, then, to do in this instance.
We realize it is the easiest thing in the world

CONCERNING THE COLLEGE GRADUATE.


just like all the others of the old school, the
men who have made themselves without the adj
vantages Of more than the ordinary education,
and with the struggles, hard knocks, steady,
strenuous plugging that brought them where they
are, our friend Sylvester Smith took occasion last
week to "roast the agricultural college graduate.
to belittle him and hold him up to scorn.
The college graduate needs no defense at our
hands and Mr. Smith knows better. There are
some Of the oldschool printers and editors who are
now saying the same things about the graduates
Of the schools Of journalism; it has not been SO
very long ago that lawyers laughed at the law
college graduates the dentists and the surgeons
and the doctors at the medical school students
every profession has been through the same story,
experienced the same cynicism for the youngster
who got his learning from books, but you hear
very little Of it any more.
The college gives the basic training, the broad
ening, encouraging, stimulating, aiding training
that pushes young men ahead faster, easier and
farther along the road than those who have not
been SO fortunate they. Not every potato Mr..
Smith raises is perfect; not every graduate col
lege turns out is perfect; but the young man who
starts life with that training has stupendous ad-
vantage over the one who does not-always meas
ured Of course, by the human equation-and
gets there quicker if he applies himself as he
should

A COMMENT FROM OUTSIDE

Most of us realize, of course, that Olympia is
not the place to judge the political sentiment of
the state-if we do not, we should realize it and
that right away-to speculate to how the people
in all the other cities and towns and localities
look upon those things which are happening here
from day to day and there's a further illustration
of that fact to be in the comment of the Ray
mond Herald, one of the stanch Republican papers
of the Willapa Harbor district, which said last
week in discussing the bureau of inspection re
port on the investigation of the expense account
of Chairman Floyd L. Daggett of the industrial
insurance commission:
There are some pretty small politics being
played in Olympia, and it is getting nobody any
thing The idea of sending out high salaried ex-
perts to check up the hotel registers to find out
what amounts members of some Of the commits
sions have paid is hardly what the people will
like, though it develops that of the Off
Gals has collected $50 in excess of what the
hotel registers show he should collect. While no
one has any excuse to make for an official who
pads his expense account yet the taxpayers have
other and heavier burdens to bear, and one of
them is the useless expenditures of public funds
for political purposes The people are going to
Judge the worth Of their officers by higher stan
dards than hotel registers, and if there is the only
leak, they will be well satisfied to let it 60 at
that.
The editor Of this newspaper read some seventy
five weekly newspapers Of the state this week'and
this was the only comment he saw on Daggett's
expense account, in spite Of the racket some few
big city newspapers have kicked up about it. APP
parently the people of the state are not paying
much attention to it, and would it be stretching
the Imagination to assume further that perhaps
the opinion expressed by the Raymond Herald is
more common than rarei

fer lawyers to disagree but it also occurs Ia us
that olympia has had enough litigation over its
water plant and has paid enough court costs and
attorney fees. without deliberately inviting fur
thrr EXPENSES of the kind. That is why we think
the city authorities would do we'll to investigate
the plans followed by other cities in handling their
municipal waterworkS systems and to be guided
by their experience, particularly when the highest
legal authority in the state government of an ad-
visory character. is against them.

Next Sunday is Easter, the great feast day Of
all Christian churches. The cync will tell you

WHAT HAPPENED IN OLYMPIA AND
STATE TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
From The Washington Standard for

April "A, 1891. Vol. XXI. No. ~,
A mistake which cost the British
government about as much territory
az there is in the state Of Rhode
Island has just come to light. The
error consists in the fact that the
iron monuments at Blaine and for
many miles east of there which mark
the boundary line are $50 yards
north of the 49th parallel, which
should be the real boundary line.
The tour of the president through
California partakes Of the nature of
an ovation.
1t pays to be humbug. p. T.
Barnum left an estate worth more
than 100000.
Cedar logs which were cut way
back in the SOS, in Snohomish coun-
ty. by McClelland's army during the
Northwest boundary dispute, are
still sound though overgrown with
moss and brush.
A meeting of the Washington State
Fair and Speeding association was
held at The Olympia Monday even
ing, at which I. c. Ellis was elected
superintendent and general manager
of the racing grounds. 1t has been
decided to open the course at Wood
land with four days racing, begin
ming on the 25th of May, at which
purses aggregating $1,000 will be
distributed.

Olympians are taking freight-train
trips to Tacoma over the new North

The incandescent system of the
Olympia Light & Power company was
operated for the first time Wednes-
day night. 1t worked like a charm.
There seems to be but very little
doubt now but that the Union Pacific
will build through Olympia as origi-
nally intended.
The Olympia Gas & Electric COM
pany have bought the lower Turn
water falls and will, soon as the main
building on the premises-formerly
known as the Lincoln mill-can be
placed in order, remove their dyna-
mos and apparatus from their East
side works. where it is operated by
steam, to the new location where
water power will be used.

The Pacific Mail, aided and abetted by every
Republican newspaper on the coast, by Congress
man Humphrey (who wants to be senator) and
by many Republican newspapers throughout the
country, kicked up an awful roar when it an
nounced it's retirement from Pacific ocean CON-
merce last fall and blamed it on the seamen s law
The announcement of its return to the trade, made
last week, has not been accorded any such fan
fare. Strange are the political ways Of men,

And at that it would seem now that the fellow
who said the Pacific Mail sold its ships last fall
because there was the best market for them in the
countrys history-because they could get the
highest prices for them ever known for such craft
was the fellow who came nearest hitting the
nail on the head.

Most of the Republican newspapers of the state

A CHANCE TO SHOW YOUR METTLE.

An Olympia and Thurston county branch of the
State Nonpartisan league is to be organized at
meeting in this city next Thursday evening, and
by your attendance there you will show your
views on this new political doctrine and, more
important still, will demonstrate that you want
the laws Of this state so changed that personal
worth, not party allegiance, will be the basis upon
which our political servants will be chosen. This
county should be leading in this campaign and at
the election next November should pile up big
majority in favor of the nonpartisan bill, for this
county, with the state Offices located here as well
as its own city and county officials, sees more
clearly than any other county in the state how the
party system works. And if we are real frank
with ourselves, we II admit, regardless of what
party we may belong to, that some of the stunts
pulled off are disgusting.
The party system has been the only system we
have known and the only one we have had here
tofore, and each one of us is as much to blame for
its faults as any other The thing for us to do is
to improve the general governmental situation by
changing the system, by making individual abil
ity the standard for the selection of officials
in these more intimate affairs of our government

The local county conventions are due Saturday,
the state conventions will be held in a couple of
weeks, the national gatherings about month later
Sooner than we think the political campaign will
be on in earnest-and the things that going to
be said, the things that going to be done, will
be marvellous.

ABNER !TAIt LEFT
KIMBERLY MOURNING
Passed Bad Checks in Payment OF
BiIls-TOOk n Plunge in Pork and
INDUCED in High Finance.

Alb Tate is absent from Kimberly
and George b. Tate, with whom he
had some transactions in swine Thurs
day afternoon, desires to meet him for
an earnest tete a tete, regarding the
value of a check for $15.75 which he
gave as quid pro quo for a hog with
out taking the trouble to leave de-
post in the bank to cover it. The
Noble store, M. Ferrenberg, and the
Hotel Kimberly, as well as Sheriff
Frank NJ Kendall, are also interested
in getting a line on the missing Abner.
The Noble store is holding the bag
for a dollar, the hotel for two dollars
and Mr.. Ferrenberg for $2.75.
Abner came from Tennessee cOu-
pie of years ago. He claimed to be
distant relative of George B. Tate, and
also posed as a dangerous character
to prove which he put a hole through
the wall of the pool hall with "A.
After this escapade he left the country
and failed to show IN until recently
On his return he found George b. Tate
in possession of a fine shoat and sud
denly evinced a desire to get possess
sion of the porller. George demurred
for some time, during which the pig
grew into a hog, but last Thursday
afternoon closed the deal for $15.75.
Alb took the pig and sold him to
Charles Brown, who is in partnership
with Wilson brothers in the hog bust
ness, for $3.50 cash. Then he decid-
ed to leave the country and to settle
his bills before leaving, he gave
checks at the time, so the trouble was
not discovered until the next day. In
the meantime, George cashed the
check for $15.75 at the Wilson broth
ers store. When the condition OF
things was discovered Sheriff Kendall
was notified, but as Alb had good
start, it was impossible to locate him.

81 feel encouraged over the orchard |
situation on the Twin Falls tract"
said T. George Hislop, of the Twin
Falls Cooperative Orchard company
Friday, as he left on his way to his
home in Chicago after looking over
his interests here. 81 notice that
some people are pulling up orchards
or parts of orchards, mostly the in
ferior Ones" continued Mr.. Hislop,
"'but that does not discourage me at
all. There have been very few plant
ed in any part of the United States
during the past five years and after a
temporary slump in prices | believe
that the orchards will pay. l am in
formed that the fruit growers organ
ization proved a practical failure in
the northwest, which must have been
due to the selfishness of somebody.
Organization is necessary and when
the mistakes have been noted and cor
rected 1 anticipate that the sale of
fruit through organized effort will
prove successful
Speaking of cheap fruit, do you
know that really good fruit was never
cheap in Chicago. Ordinary fruit was
very cheap at times, but the best quail
ity of apples always commanded
good price. ! am informed that the
same is true to great extent on the
Twin Falls tract. Mr.. DalQuiSt, who
lives near Filler, told me that when
fruit was very cheap, he went to Bull
one day and saw boxes of apples in
front of a grocery store marked at
seventy-five cents. He asked the gro
Ger if that was the best he could pay,
and the merchant replied that if he
had the same sort of apples that he
sold the previous year, carefully pick
ed and uniform throughout, they
would command a dollar and half a
box This is the idea. Only the best
will command good prices. One good
crop at good prices will pay for farm
and l believe that the future of fruit
raising on the Twin Falls tract is
bright
with reference to politics, things
strike me as being about even in Illi-
nois, with just a shade in favor OIL
Wilson. The president stands much
better there than he did a year age
and the current still runs in his di-
rection. l know the Herald and Tri
bune people well and they are fal
from confident. The Herald is real
ly Republican, though nominally indie
pendent 1t used to be quite strongly
against Wilson, but at present it is
sometimes hard to tell from its ut
terances on which side it is to bt
found. The Tribune is Republican
though it is less active than it was
The Hearst publications cut no figur
in politics though they are bought b.
many of their news reports and fea
ture articles. Hearst is regarded a
utterly selfish and it has been notet
that the men whom he supports ar
generally defeated. A few years ag'
he supported split ticket and tn
men who received his support in al
most every instance ran behind tn
rest of their tickets. His criticisms O
the administration will not affect tn

SCHOOL DISTRICTS RECEIVE
WELL EARNED PRIZES

very anxious to do this have been
unable to on account of their finan-
cial condition. This is true espec-
tally of District No. 6, PASSPORT,
which is very anxious to provide
school facilities for a number of
families at Addie as we'll as to inn
prove their own school, Their dis
trict has a valuation of only $4,000
practically which makes it almost
impossible to do anything for the
Addie people without some help.
A fine school building is being
constructed in Dist. No. IS. 1t has
brary room and a workroom on the
first floor and a large room in the
basement which can be used as
community hall by the people and
as a play room for the children on
stormy days. Water is to be piped
into the building from a stream
nearby. This is all being done with
out bonding the district. By levy
ing the 10 mill special tax the school
board expects to pay for the cost
of construction and the operation of
their school this year.
But most encouraging of all is
the large number of pupils through
)ut the county who after finishing
he eighth grade are continuing their
studies in the high school. They
ire attending the high school here
they feel that it is their own. Per-
haps the new courses of manual
training and domestic science which
have been added this year have made
their appeal. And when the board
finds itself able to put in agricul-
ture our boys and girls from the
outlying districts will feel that some
thing is being done especially for
them and will be glad to avail them
selves of an opportunity of learning
something which will help them
greatly in after life. :,
