The "transfer" of school books is
now going on all over the state. It
was a fine job engineered nicely. The
old books, that is the former series, were
all right, but the people had to be
"worked," somehow, and the game
was fixed up and put through in great
shape. There was a pleasing unanim
ity of opinion on the part of the
county school superintendents re
garding the matter.
It is the custom for layge steam
ship companies to carry their own in
surance on their steamers. It is done
in this way. The cost of insurance is
figured up, and instead, of paying it to
the insurance'eompanies it is put into
what is called the insurance fund.
The experience of many companies is
that this is the cheapest way of insur
ance. Themethod is pursued in part
by the Pacific Coast Steamship com
pany; which owned the lost Ancan.
The register of the land office at
Seattle says that all those who had
proved up on timber claims and since
have' had their money returned to

the money, as the ruling of the gen
eral land office, so far as it affected
claims that had been proved up on,
had been withdrawn.

the northeastern extremity.
These are great days for cheek and
making money with nothing says the
Journal. -A Portland cabdriver in
spected a farm at Columbia Slough
near that city with a view to purchas
ing As the owner took him for a
capitalist he was very willing to listen
to overtures for selling out. The bar
gain was closed. The price, S18,000,
was to be cash down. The cabman
returned to town, obtained a clean
new buggy from the stable and drove
a money lender out to the ranch.
How much would you lend on the
fine ranch? "Twenty-two thousand,"
was the reply. The cab man. has the
ranch and 8000 in cash.
The Scientific American in its ar
ticle on Aberdeen, says: ''Men that
are able to handle a dozen yoke of
cattle, and get all there is out of them
when a pinch comes, are scarce. For
obvious reasons, cattle alone are used
as motive power in the woods. It
will bo noticed that the operators
each stand on spring boards set in
notches about five feet from the
ground." The Washingtonian thinks
that a bull-puncher on a spring-board
would be a novel sight, as we are
quite sure he would not take such a
position unles3 it were to escape a
sudden attack of bulls or bears: "When
it comes to writing up the "bull of the
woods" the American is not alto
gether scientific.

Hanna Surprised His Hostess.
Bayle33 W.-Hanna, late minister to
Buenos Ayres, tells this on himself.
Some months ago at Buenos Ayres, a
rich bpanish banker gave a dinner to
some friends, and Mr. Hanna was
seated on the right of the hostess.
She inquired as to the health of Mrs.
Hanna, who was not present, and
asked how'many children thev had.
Bayless, not understanding Spanish
very well, thought she wanted to
know the age of Mrs. Hanna,
and said, "Forty-eight, madam."
To his surprise the lady
threw up her hands and ex
claimed, ''Gracios a Dios, que no
tengo esposo Americano!" which, be
ing translated, is, "Thank God, I have
not an American husbandl" Next
day the Spanish banker called on Mr.
Hanna and said: "You astonished
my wife yesterday when you told her
you had forty-eight children." "Why,
my dear sir," replied the minister, "I
luougni your wire luquireu as to tne
age of Mrs. Hanna, and I gave her
the forty-eight figure. I have only
four children, and they are enough."
