Eastern Washing ton might :is well face the situation and be prepared for a hard Htrtiggle, -for it will get nothing but obstructive .tactics from King county. It is amazing how local selfishness- will warp the judg ment and distort the view. The Press Times speaks of the works on the Col umbia river as the "fH-TTemes of Oregon grabbers," and hopvs that the ditch ""will not again be hampered by invidi ous classification with the dalles railway scheme' The Columbia river has a drainage area of 250,000 square miles ; the lake Washington canal would affect, at mom, a few townships adjacent to "Seattle. Seattle has proceeded iu this matter with consummate cunning. Fearing the opening of the Columbia liver and the establishment of a water highway in competition with the rail roads, site has devised t his ditch project, expecting thereby to prevent the open ing of the river and at the eame time bring alout the expenditure of several million dollars within her own local limits, and also gain an advantage over her Pugct sound comjetitors. It is in comprehensible how any eastern Wash ington oilictal, newspaper or -individual of ordinary understanding can defend each jobbery. It is simple advocacy of a scheme by which the cinch is to' be retained upon the commerce of the in Merlor, in order that Seattle and the rail- roads may thrive nt the expense of the .producing masses of the eastern part of the-state. "Orrauk Upton's steamship service be tween the Orient and Portland, in con nection with the Union Pacific railroad, is to be discontinued. It is generally understood in railroad circles that the service will end with the arrival of- the next steamer at that port, on account of some understanding that has been ar rived at between President Huntington, of the Southern Pacific and President Clarke, of the Union Pacific. - Portland has had this service for about ten taonths now, through a contract.entered into by Charles Frances Adams, when he was president of the Union Pacific, nd Mr Upton, whose home is in Kobe, Japan. The latter had three steamers and he agreed to furnish a monthly ser vice for a period of ten years, mainly for transportation of tea to eastern points in the United States and Canada, the Union Pacific on its part agreeing to establish a tariff that would - enable Upton to compete with the Pacific Mail, - Canadian Pacific and Oriental and Occidental lines on through' shipments. .Adams made this contract in spite of the fact that the Union Pacific has a joint interest in Oriental and Occidental com panies and that the latter and the Pacific Mail have a close agreement for the maintenance of rates. He also mode it in spite of the protests of Huntington and the Pacific Mail, his object being to get an all-rail haul from Portland east ward on as much teas ua possible. -tfaker City Contest. Tehiowftt. The dry test contest be tween hose companies 1, 3 and 4, which took place on the -Fourth, has not yet been settled bnt will probably be satis factorily arranged at tonight's meeting of. the committee. The time keepers, by mistake, gave in the time made by No. 4 at twenty seconds. They did not fully . realize their mistake, until the other teams made the race, No. 3. in thirty: two seconds and No. 1 in twenty-nine and one-half seconds. Their mis take was announced bat No. 4 refused to run again. No. 4 claims the race on the technical grounds that the time wae-anrtonnced and the error should have been made known before. the other teams made their run. In this, according .to . rule, probably they are right, bat it is hardly fair since all are aware that they did not make any such time. A good plan" would be for No. 1 and No. 4 to divide the purse -and go at it "hammer and tongs" again next Fourth. There is no nee kicking over nmnll matters. . WASTIB.

Who I bat Representative of tlte Average Unfor tunate Fellow Looking for Work How OtUers Take the Sad News. Joe's envelope said simply: The house regrets it can no longer offer yon employment, but its reasons do not hinge upon your competency, and we take occasion to thank yon for good work for us, wishing you well." Joe thought to hide the message from John as he passed out John had worked at his elbows for months bnt be didn't. John followed him out and said: "Stout heart, old fellow. ' You'll nave n better job in a week. If 1 can do yon a ' favor, call on me. My turn next, 1 imagine." Joe walked the streets for hours, then went home to his wife and babies not loss surely years older than when he had left them in the morning. He has -fixed his purpose, and will hew to it. He takes the usual trinkets to the children, a trifle of some sort to- his wife, and gives her, as is his rule, the week's earn ings. Then he acts 'for the first time in his life he romps and carouses with Flora until she believes he is as much a child as herself, and his wife watches it all from her sewiug tuYile and wonders if she was ever as happy in the old courting days as she is now i .Ana .ioe s heart is neavy unaer it all. for be determines that .they shall not know of hia bad luck nntil he nas anoth er job . He is hnrt, hnmiliated, repulsed he fisels that the bonse has clipped hini off because it could spare him more eas ily than any erne of the hundred odd oth ers that it has retained "Out that little wife sitting there with her head full of belief iu me mustn't i know--l:e must believe mo all I seemed to M. WOBK AT LAST . He looks for work ten bonis a day for i a week and doesn't find it. Saturday lie pawns bis watch for a week s wages and carries it home, telling them that his watch had been stolen from him, but that he had a clew to the thief and that Inspector Byrnes would catch him in a few days, tie says to himself that fate 'stole it from him, bnt he keeps up the ! play bravely and with fortitude answers the evening' queries of the home ones about whether they have found the watch. The next two weeks axe tided over by selling the Building and Ix&n stock Then ho borrows another week's pay of a friend livery morning he starts "to work" at the regular hour; every evening he re turns. They go to the theater; they buy some needed and long promised clothes; they pay their regular missionary money' and church fees for Joe is playing a desperate baud now. but with an insane sort of coo lues Something asks him over and over again every day, "Where will it end?" but Joe just .sets lus lips a little harder and don't rejily even in thought. : His encyclopedia goes next. ' He loans it to friend down town at the office, so he tells them at home. Joe can't eat heartily thin week. He watches his wife and children's lighthcartedness some thing like a brute would do stoically, unmoved. He tells Amy to drink his cup of tea: he lutsiio appetite, and don't want it- Then he is for the first time in his life affected with satan's specially ex ported airticle of disease insomnia. He sits for honrs washing his family as they sleep, and be feels n heavy weight slowly settling upon his brain that ho cannot understand the meaning of. Next day he finds another position, and his wifedoetjn't understand why be gives way so completely for the first time in his life and cries like a child while tell ing her of it OTiiiiK. TYPES. There are just a few Joes in this world not too many. Clarence Harney tells his wife about it as soon as he gets home. He is sure he knew the infernal job wouldn't hold out long anyhow. Plenty more, though you just have to have a little gall; and next day Clarence . has another job. .A little less pay, to be sure, "but then," he argues, 'it's onlyfor a week or so IU strike a better one the first thing you know. Yon dou't down me not this year. Jim Barton, the clerk, loses his job. He pitches into the whole family and tells them that there must be no more money spent for anything at all "Un derstand? The -goodness only knows when you will get any more from me, so make this last as long as it will." He goes down town, gets a job, tells them at home that he has not yet found one, and so spends the entire pay for two weeks on himself, the while ostensibly searching for work, and making the home ones pinch and worry with the lessening cash, Then at the critical moment he suddenly r'finds work," and tells 'them be had to take it at seven dollars a week or nothing, when he really . receives twelve. Jimmie's friends down town call him "smooth." '-.'"'' , Harris Russell, 'who writes shorthand, loses a job because he is a bd speller. He studies up on his spelling, answers advertisements, gets a few encouraging replies, and after moving to a cheaper room once and going it for a week on a diet of crackers and milk occasionally a nickel's worth of hot waffles- he gets another place at one dollar a week more salary, and determines that he will not Sounder on the same old reef a second time. Harris is an Average boy a typ ical case. Emmons Holman, bookkeeper, learns that he is to be dispensed with soon, so very dignifiedly resigns.'' He tells his -friends that the firm bucked against it awfully, but that they f-onldn't keep toim that they offered shorter boars and a . big:: raise, but that it was all no good. He knew what he was about. It is safe to admit that he 'did.. ' .. . Ernest Jenkins is discharged. " No friends. Can get . no work. Starves three - days. The river, New York World. . . .
