A MERITED COMPLIMENT.
The administration of Governor
Thayer is now a thing of history. !
On his accession to the executive '
chair he found the affairs of state!
in great confusion, resulting from
I he profligacy of the preceding ad
ministration. The state was deep
ly in debt; its credit was debauch
ed until its bonds weie below par.
A board of political leches, fos
tered and fed by the carelessness
or corruption of his predecessor,
had fastened themselves upon the
body politic, and were fattening at
the expense of state. The state
was paying an enormous price for
the keeping of the insane; had no
asylum of its own; no public build
ings that were worthy of the
name. He can look .back with sat
irfaction over the record of the
past four years. The credit of the
state has been restored and its
bonds are at a premium. Its float
ing debt has in a great part been
dischaged; the "organized offices"
bummers have been cast into outer
darkness. The state now boasts a
fine asylum, built cheaply and paid
for. Moic than that there is now
left from the proceeds of the build
ing enough tax money to furnish
the building and make it ready for
the reception of its unfortunate
occupants. To bring about all
these desirable results, Governor
Thayer has labored with an eye
single' to the public wealth and to
their accomplishment he has con
tributed in no small degree.

Queer Apples.
Some paities in Ilarrisburg, Alas
ka, ordered a lot of apples in
boxes by the Elder from San Fran
cisco. The steamship did not
reach Townsend in time to rcship
on the Alaska boat, so the fruit
was sold in Seattle and New Ta
coma. Stone & Co. bought a large
number of boxes. Upon opening
one Mr. Stone found snugly hid
den away in the center of the box
a bottle of Cutter whisky. Several
boxes have been "sampled," and a
general average of one in three
has been found to contain a bottle
of the genuine brand. Those in
Tacoma gave equally spirited re
sults no joke intended so that
there must have been in the entire
shipment something like four
dozen bottles of whisky. Those
poor miners at Ilarrisburg will be
sorely tried when the California
arrives 'there and it is found there
are no apples aboard. For if there
is ai.y thing the average miner
does like, it is apples of that
va riety. Seattle Chronicle.
It is the duty of this legislature
to send to the U. S. senate a man
who will be an advocate of civil
service reform, who is reliably a
friend of purity in politics, and a
fair representative of the public
and private morality of which the
state of Oregon has reason to be
proud. Whoever fills this meas
ure of manhood and true citizen
ship will be acceptable to the peo
ple of Oregon. A senator of the
United States should be the peer
of any man living. He should be
above the plane of the mere politi
cian. There should be no scram
ble for this high office. Acting for
the people and representing the
state in all its dignity .and strength
this legislature should and we
have no' doubt will select from
among its distinguished citizens
some one who can safely be en
trusted to represent its interests
in the senate of the United States,
and will never prostitute its honor
to selfish ends. "Willamette Far

Too Mucli Legislation.
There is alwavs a flood of bills
proposed before ever' legislature,
and the great majority of them are
useless. The work of the legisla
ture is as much to leave well
enough alone as to attempt to
amend the laws we have. There
are multitudes of people who have
axes to grind, and enough mo:e
who have hobbies to ride on
crochets thev have faith in, and;
the result is a host nf measures i
that cus-ht never to nas. Thol

terrible alarm has been wealed
among the ladies by the announce
ment of a visitation of the most
dreadful kind nothing less than
the arrival of the hoirible disease
of the hair, known as the plica po
lo7iica, which has hitherto been
confined to Poland and the fion
tiers of Russia. No medical sci
ence has been able as yet to ascer
tain the exact cause of the disease,
which renders its victim a most
hideous object to behold, trans
forming, sometimes almost bud
denly, the most beautiful and luxu
riant crop of hair into a matted,
disgusting mass of snaky ropes,
which stand out in hoi rible confu
sion, alL over the head, through
which no comb can ever be drawn,
and which can never be cut, owing
to the agglomeration of the roots
into one united mass, which, as
the roots are filled with blood,
would cause the sufferer to bleed
to death were they removed.
To uphold the Sunday law is
the duty of every man. It is not
necessary for him to believe in
God, the Christian religion, or the
sacred character of the Sabbath.
Every man toils with .brain or mus
cle, and every man who works for
himself or for another, owes it to
himself and his physical organiza
tion to see that he has the legal
right to a holiday once every week.
Every laborer should demand it
for himself, and even' employer of
a man or beast should concede it
in the interest of humanity.

Horace Greeley's famous stage
driver, Hank Monk, is now em
ployed on the proposed line of the
Northern Pacific in Montana. A
particularly bold but inexperienced
road agent attempted to stop
his coach the other day, but Hank
whipped up his horses and dashed
off with fire bullets whistling after
him, one of which struck a horse.
The animal did not, however, break
down until the stage reached a
freighter's camp.
It has been announced that
Charles B. Wright, whose donation
of a fund for the building of an
Episcopal church edifice in New
Tacoma is .well known, has
promised Bishop Paddock the sum
of $100,000 for the erection and
endowment of an Episcopal col
lege in that city, as a portion of
the fund of $130,000 required for
this purpose.
A body was found last week in
the Columbia near the mouth of
Lewis river, which is supposed to
be that of .1. M. Fletcher, of Van
cover, who so mysteriously disap
peared about five months ago.
Mr. Fletcher was the first register
at Vancover and afterwards was
elected prosecuting attorney of
his district.
A writer in the London Field

A stranger called at forty-eight
different houses in Cleveland and

Dan. Longfellow sold his log-
ging camp on North Bay, Mason
county, last week, ior 25,000, to
Samuel Coulter, of Seattle. The
claim contains over 200,000 acres
of fine timber lands, and the sale
includes camp, cattle, railway,
lands and outfit.
The American consul to Japan
says that a Jap. can live and grow
fat on one-sixth of the provisions
thought necessary for an Ameri

Washington Territory boasts the
widest gauge railway yet reported.
It is an eight-foot gauge logging
road running back from Skagit
river. The rails are wood, eight by
eight inches. The cars are large
and are carried on eight wheels of
nine-inch face with double flanges.
The barkentine C. C. Funk,
recently built at Marsh field, left
that place for San Francisco lum
ber laden a few days since. She
has been built at a cost of $3?,000,
and will carry 700,000 feet of lum
ber. The assessor and tax collec
tor caught the Funk for 2-l2
taxes.
Judge Ho't in a recent card in
timated that he would hold that
the counties of Washington Ter
ritory had the right to tax lands
sold b' the Northern Pacific to in
dividuals, notwithstanding the fact
that the company had not re
ceived patents from the govern
ment for the land sold.
"That,' said Bigglin to his wife,
when she told him that a now silk

"Now, Bigglin," she answered tart

I am not to be put down by mu
sical terms. You may call it a for
tissimo or a trombone, but I'm
going to have that dress."
