Plan to Complete Buildings

At a meeting of the state CAPT
tol commission Monday, it was
decided to authorize the issuance
of 100000 worth of capitol
building fund bonds, bearing Az
per cent interest, to be taken up
by the state board of finance
with the reserve funds of the in
dustrial insurance commission, to
retire the outstanding warrants
against the capitol building fund;
to call Architect White of Wild.
Ell & White, New York, design
ers of the new capitol, here for
conference on July 9; to 20 over
the plans for the completion Of
the new Temple of Justice; and
negotiations We're entered into
with the Olympia school board
for the purchase of Olym pia high
school and the block Of ground
on which il stands as a part of
the capitol building site. The
school board is to submit its pro
position some time this week.
The action of the commission
is taken to mean that the Temple
of Justice, which has stood since
1913 without facing of any kind
will be completed this summer.
Whether the facing is to be of
marble or some native stone is a
question to be settled later by
the commission. The last legis
lature authorized and directed
the levy of a one half mill tax,
which will raise about 100000 a
year to be used for capitol build
ing purposes. This levy disposes
of all of the questions raised by
the supreme court in declaring a
proposed bond issue invalid.
There is now pending a sufficient
number of applications for CAPT
tol building land timber to retire
5000 worth of the bonds with
in the next sixty days.
Although no formal announce
ment is made to that effect it was
the sense of the meeting that the
new Temple Of Justice be com
pleted as rapidly as possible and
the new quarters needed for
state purposes secured. State

Eucalyptus Leaves.

Eucalyptus are eyergreens, which
shed their bark but not their leaves
bu they are not shade trees. The
leaves are placed iE inclined rather
lhaS in horizontal positions, and the
passage Of light is but little obstruct-
ed. For this reason, smaller trees and
bushes and grass grow underneath,
and The woods ia places assume the
appearance Of jungle from which
arise the towering shafts Of trees. 1t
is interesting TO note that primitive

EMERALD MOST COSTLY GEM
One corslderatic1 That Makes Them
tiiqh-Pricec Is They Are Sell
dom Free From Flaws.

In the mind Of the average person
the diamond IS regarded as the most
valuable Of precious stones. but as a
matter Of fact large fawless emeralds
are a great deal more costly than dia-
monds Of similar size jewelers. say
that one Of the considerations that
makes these rich green gems so high
priced, II perfect. Is that they are sell
dom free from flaws.
According to the Smithsonian in
situton good diamonds are worth
from $3.50 10 500 per carat, accord
Ing to purity and size. whereas an
emerald varies from $50 to $500. the
price increasing rapidly with size.
Flawless emeralds weighing more
than four carats are said TO be prac-
aeaily priceless. but diamonds Of that
size are worth only $1,000 TO $1,000.
Another factor that IS said to CON
tribute to the high price Of emeralds
Is that they are hard TO initiate and.
unlike some green stones, retain their
color when heated and when subject
ed to artificial light. Il IS claimed
that this latter fact makes them par
ticularly desirable for evening wear.
