In 1885 the government Of the United
States made an offer Of 81, 900 for the
most acceptable design to be placed
upon the new one cent coin soon to be
issued. Some Indian chiefs Travelled
from the northwest to Philadelphia to
inspect the mint. whose chief engraver
was James Barton Longacre, who In
yited them to his house.
The engraver's daughter. Sarah, ten
years old, greatly enjoyed the visit OF
her fathers guests. and during the
evening. to please her, one of the chiefs
took bis feathered helmet and war
bonnet and placed It on her head. In
the company was an artist, who imme-
diately sketched her and handed the
picture to her father. Mr.. Longacre,
knowing OF the competition for like
ness 10 go upon the cent, resolved to
enter the sketch for the prize offered
by the government. To his delight, the
officials accepted it, and the face OF his
daughter appeared upon the coin.
The face of Sarah LOngacre has gone

homes, more stores-yes. more churches
than any other coin IN the United
States, II not In the world.-Pittsburgh

sign for house to serve as home for
the president in Washington. James

The Gold Coast Is a British colony

rock of the country is said to give of,
under the influence OF the air and
moisture. large quantities Of hydrogen
gas. The native towns are crowded

will each appropriate $4,000 for the
purposes Of the Northwest Tourist AS
ISOLATION, which is made up OF repre-
sentatives OF the commercial organiza-
tons OF these two states and OF British
Columbia. The provincial parliament
has been asked to appropriate $4,000
as its share OF this fund, and has been
waiting to see what would be done by
Washington and Oregon. British Col
umbia authorities are confident that
the province will now come to the
front with its appropriation, and the big
joint undertaking will doubtless be Or
ganized in time to get some results
this summer. No such comprehensive
scheme of inducing tourist travel has
ever before been undertaken in the

ton which has been working for the
appropriations has absolute assurance

Recent startling disclosures OF the
German attempt to plot with Mexico
against the United States, fully vouched
for by President Wilson and Secretary
Of State Lansing, give remarkable
confirmation to a prediction made by
the Seattle Town Crier just about a
month ago. Discussing the return Of
the Pershing expedition from Mexico,
The Town Crier, on February 10,
closed an editorial with these words:
1T is out OF Mexico that this nations
further troubles are to come. Let Us
not lose sight Of that fact. And when
these troubles come they may not be
wholly OF Mexican origin. Other gov:
ernments are quite as we'll aware as
ours Of the feeling against US in Mexico.
AS we make new enemies or unwillingly
incur new enmities, what is more
natural than that advantages should be
taken Of Mexico's proximity and
hatred"

Seattle's police department scandals
took on fresh interest last week with
the arrest OF Police Inspector Mike
Powers on the charge Of accepting a
bribe. Fifty dollars in marked money
was found on the inspector when he
was taken into custody by deputy
sheriffs on complaint Of Prosecuting
Attorney Lundin. Powers claims that
this money had been left on his desk
without his knowledge by some un-
known person and that he was on his
way to leave it with the police clerk
when arrested. The prosecuting at
torney intimates that he has evidence
which will lead to a number Of other
arrests.
Seattle is now in the peculiar posi-
ton Of having its mayor, chief OF po-
lice, inspector Of police, and four
prominent members OF the detective
force all under arrest at the same time,
all except Powers being under federal
indictment for conspiracy with the
boot-leggers' syndicate. All Of these
except Inspector Powers continue to
exercise their authority and draw their
pay. At his own request Powers was
suspended pending investigation.

Seattle and other cities Of the state
are sharing in the distress OF the
bigger cities farther East over the un-
precedented prices reached by the
humblest necessities Of the family
table. With potatoes at $85 to 500 a
ton, it means that the householder gets
only four or FIVE medium sized spuds
for quarter; while onions at IL to IA
cents a pound are practically out OF
sight. Meats have been edging up in
price for so long that the smaller con-
sumer has gradually become ac-
customed to getting the cheaper cuts,
and there has been a great revival in
the consumption OF the old fashioned
Irish stew or mulligan. But now with
potatoes and onions soaring beyond
reach, even the mulligan has become
a costly blend and its savory odors be-
come more and more confined to the
homes Of the wealthy. Seriously
speaking the situation is a bad one for
many families in poorer circumstances.
When such tremendous prices are
asked for the commonest vegetables in
a country that can raise them in I'M
limited quantities, it is evident that
something is very much wrong.

NORTHWEST NEWS

For the complete success OF the big
effort to bring the tourist travel to the
Northwest it is believed to be necessary
that the Interstate Commerce Com
missions ruling, abolishing the $3.50
difference in the cost OF travel by the
southern and the northern railway lines
must be sustained by the federal courts.
Charles A. Reynolds, former chairman
Of the state public service commission,
obtained this ruling from the Interstate
Commerce Commission and has been
retained to fight for its approval in the
courts. The cost OF Reynolds services
and expenses has already been guar
anteed by private subscription raised
through the efforts Of the Seattle Star
and other newspapers; but the state
Legislature has been induced to relieve
the private subscribers Of this burden
and has appropriated the money needed
for Reynolds share Of the work.
