PUZZLEWITS.
Prizes for solutions of puzzles in February were won by J. L. Bayley,
Spokane Falls, Washington, John Baumgartner, Portland, Oregon, and Mrs.
E. S. Hartnell, Salinas City, California, in the order named. Their orders
for disposition of prizes will be honored. The incomplete nature of the lists
received indicates that the puzzles are, indeed, puzilers of wits, and, therefore,
just the kind a bright boy or girl should delight in. Let us see if there are
not more possessing perseverence and genius enough to solve these puzzles.

SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
It does seem that we have enough societies in this country to meet the
most exacting demands. We have all sorts of secret societies, all kinds of
political parties s we have a great variety of charitable associations, temperance
unions, workingmen's leagues, rich men's syndicates, clubs of socialists, nihil
ists and thugs j we have immigration boards and ever)1 imaginable mission.
Yet there is a demand for one more society, and one more we have, and its
branches have been organized in thirty states. This one is called the Sons of
the American Revolution, and it is a patriotic association rather than a soci
ety. The writer is authorized to organize a branch in this part of the country,
and he asks in behalf of a good cause a little space to explain its purpose.
The continental officers organized the Cincinnati at the close of the war
of independence 1 the Astec was formed by the veterans of the Mexican war
the Loyal Legion and the G. A. R. after our late unpleasantness. These are
all patriotic societies with a large element of goodfellowship. Hut the society
of the Sons of the American Revolution has a broader basis it embraces all
sections of, the country. It takes in all the descendants of the men of '76
who, either in a civil or military way, took part in the life struggle of our na
tion. It is not confined to elder sons or the sons of officers. It invites all
of the old stock to associate themselves together in an effort by moral means
to stem the tide of socialism and all other evil isms that are coming in with
the swelling flood of immigration. While we hold fast to old traditions, we
wish to show that patriotism is not merely a tradition but a present duty,
We do not pay for a charter, our charter is the constitution 1 our initia
tion fee is high, it is at least three generations under the flag. So our society
is the most aristocratic in the world, for its members must not only know who
their grandfathers or greatgrandfathers were, but that Ihty wrt pnui mm

It is estimated that $10,000,000
will be available for the improvement
of the harbor of Seattle under the
provisions of the two tide land bills,
which grant for that purpose seventy
live per cent of the gross receipts
from the sale of tide lands within the
city limits to the improvement of the
harbor. There are 3,336 acres of
tide lands at Seattle, estimated at a
valuation of $5,000 per acre, or a
total of $ 1 3, 1 80,000. Other cities on
the sound, Tacoma, Olympia, Port
Townsend and the Ilellingham bay
towns, will also have a similar fund,
though not quite so large.
Two new counties have been cre
ated in Idaho, out of territory for
merly embraced in Alturas and Logan
counties, and those counties have
ceased lo exist. The new counties
bear the names of " Alta " and " Lin
coln," and much as the citizens may
rejoice to see the last honored name
added to the state nomenclature, il is
a matter of regret that the name of
"Logan "should be lost.
