STILL HARPING.
Seattle's hostility against the opening
of the Columbia river is openly confessed
by her newspapers. 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. .

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

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

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

way so completely for the first time in
his life and cries like a child while tell

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.. ' ..
