who runs to fires, he would fly to
scene of every federal crime il

his time in the museum and the

ing bureau generates also the

Certain presidential aides have
become privately critical Of the
A. G.'s frequent absences. But
the fact is that he has already
reorganized his department into

ford the time to investigate and
revise his field forces. He is
determined, grimly determined.

HOROSCOPE
WEDNESDAY, JUNE !, 1899

Benefic aspects rule the early
morning hours according TO
astrology, but, later adverse
influences are strong. II is wise
to do as much as possible before
the usual office hours.
Heads of business and all in
command should benefit, but
they must accept extra response
bilities in coming months.
Those who seek employment
may be successful If they are at
the shop or factory doors when
they open this morning, later
there may be disappointment.
Despite the advice to practice
thrift there will be much extrav-
sgsnt spending attended with
pomp and ceremony, though
plans for entertaining visitors
may be sud denly changed.
Elaborate hospitslities may be-
come unpopular.
Young women are eounseled
10 avoid sudden and ill-judged
love affairs. Reckless romanees
may be numerous through the
summer.
Uranus is in an aspect sup
posed TO stimulate unrest and
discomfort, rebellion and dis

Under this direction OF the

forest fires obscured the sun, II
was so in the late territorial
days. Fires in Southwest Wash
ington induced Gov. Semple to
propose measures for the pro-
lection Of the timber
Gov. Semple's administration
also should be credited with
assisting in the improvement OF
the territorial school system.
At the close of the territorial
period there were a number of
thriving schools we'll known all
along the coast.
Among these were Annie
Wright seminary at Tacoma;
Puget Sound acade my at
Coupeville, Congregational
school, and the Northwest
Normal school at LINDEN, de-
signed for the training of
teachers.
The Olympia Collegiate insti-
tute was prosperous school at
the capital under the ju1sdic-
ton of the Methodist church.
The institute represented the
movement which eliminated in
the establishment of the College
of Puget Sound in Tacoma fifty
one years ago.
At Montesano there was the
Chehalis Valley acad my, a
Presbyterian school; at VAN
couver, Holy Angels college,
school for boys and one of
the oldest in the Northwest; a
thriving academy at Waitsburg;
Washington academy at Hunts
vile, United Brethren school;
and a Methodist school, Spokane
college, at Spokane Falls.
Sisters of the Catholic orders
had schools at Olympia, VAN
couver. Seattle, Walla Walla,
Yakima and Spokane. The con-
vent of the Sisters of Providence
at Vancouver, a boarding and
day school for girls. had the
largest school building in Wash
ington.
Besides some of the Catholic
schools. only two of the institu-
tions which began in territorial
days survive. They are Annie
Wright seminary and the COL
lege of Puget Sound, which
grew out of the purpose behind
the Olympia institute, both in
Tacoma.

Gov. SempIe Promotes
Statehood
But Gets Only a Glimpse
OF Promised Land
State Receives Legacy OF
Good Schools
IN his last official report to
L the secretary of the interior
in the latter part of 1883, Gov.
Eugene Semple emphasized, as he
had in a previous report, his be-
lief that the territory of Wash
ington should be admitted to
statehood. He reiterated figures
concerning the resources of the
territory, its civic progress and
the character of its people, and
concluded with this paragraph;
I'VE are rich and reputable
and do not require anybody to
settle our bills. Give us the
right to settle our own affairs
and we will not only pay our
own officers but we will rem
der much service to the ma
ton"
Gov. Semple. like Moses, OBJ
tanned a glimpse of the promised
land but was not privileged to
serve the new state in an Of
ficial capacity. Whether it was
at his own request or because
of other reasons the record does
not disclose, but Gov. Semple
retired early in 1889 and was
succeeded by Miles c. Moore.
1t is more than likely that he
resigned. He had good reason to
believe that the statehood bill
was going through. He was am
bilious, stood high in the coun-
ellis of the Democratic party.
He had done a great deal to
advance the interests of the
territory. To friends he had
often expressed the hope that
he might have an opportunity to
serve the new state as governor.
If he was serious in that it was
logical to resign and build up
his fences for the campaign of
1889.
Ii was cOmmendable am
bitiOn and he would have made
a good governor but the fates

his Republican rival. Elisha p.
Ferry. who also had served as
territorial governor.
An important movement start
ed by Gov. Semple's administra-
ton related to forest fire con-
troll. 1t is true not much was
accomplished, but the movement
started then grew into the elab-
crate forest fire prevention ma
chine of today.
In this connection it is peril
nent to observe that there were
forest fires in the Northwest
long before the advent of the
logging camps which have been
blamed for most of the fire
damage in timber areas. The
fact of the matter is that there
were serious forest fires long
before there was logging camp
north of the Columbia river.
