Several serious landslides have
happened on Capitol Hill, this week.
The bridge which spanned the gulch

by. was moved from its foundation
and had to be abandoned.
Sydney Williston. the young son

ation unfortunately for the two fam
ilies.
Senator Hutchinson of Spokane
county, agrees with the STAN HARD
that our present ilailroad Commis
sion has not been of much benefit
to the shipping interests of this
state. He claims u lxxly of this
nimt is of more benefit to the corpor-
J , lha . n to the people- It has

Tim country has in recent years
traveled too rapidly towards centrali
zation. If a State cannot control of
regulate tin' domestic relations or
> iat 11- or its own citizens, it has no
right to exist- The Stam»ari» is
not yet prepared to believe the
States incompetent in this regard.
'1 lie reason the County Commis
sinners minutes do not eontain the
expenditures in itemized form is.
we are informed, because the Audi
tor is instructed by the new board to
give only a synopsis of the amounts.
If the taxpayer wants to know how
the county money is being expends!
he is left in the dark as far as the
transansactions of the board as pub
lished in the county olliciai paper is
concerned.
Did you hear that noise that sou- 1
eil like a fusilade of musketry at 1 \
m yesterday morning? That wa
the " grand entree" of the Chinese
New Year. It will be observed, ho.v
ever, that while they are ahead of us
over eleven months in entry upon a
new epoch of time, they are an hour
behind us in beating the tomtom and
founding the liewgag— which, in this
instance, took the form of explosion
of fire-crackers.
Martin Scully, as executor of the
.Michael Hartigan estate has tiled his
petition to sell the southeast ijuarter
of lot- 7 and S, block 111. Swan s ad
dition. Hartigan died in Olympia
in May. lS'.iii, willing his property to
his two nieces. Bridget Hartigan
and Mrs. Taylor of Massachusetts.
Mr. Scully for a number of years has
been |>aving taxes on this real estate
rather than have it become the prop
erty of the county.
Howard Cosgrovc. son of the Gov
ernor-elect has received definite an
nouncement from his father at Paso
Rubles that lie will (nothing pre
senting) arrive at Olympia next
| Monday to take the oath of office.
i He will leave to-day and will proba
bly take the oath of office in his
' private car " California." which will
immediately leave on its return to
Southern California to complete his
course of treatment as an invalid.
A visitor from east of the moun
tain- remarked. Monday, that the
wisest policy for our legislative body
to pursue is to formally el<vt a U.
S. Senator, frame the appropriation
bills, resolve that three fourths of
oar laws are obsolete, and leave the
matter to the State officials and the
courts to determine the laws which
shall remain in force, and then ad
journ. Why not allow the bene
ficiaries of the State's appropria
tions make the division?
That one of our leading hotels has
ousted all of its regular home-patrons
from quarters held for indefinite
(.long) periods, to l>e better able to
accomodate Legislative custom for a
limited time, may to them, prove an
unprotitable venture, when we con
sider that the special daily train
opens Tacoma and Seattle for com
petition, as well as the inauguration
of the Y. M. C. A. lunch-table to
legislators, the only meal that some
of them, under these conditions, may
eat at the capital.
The figures for levy of assessment
of the pavements completed last year
have l>een finished by City Clerk
Dever, and will be submitted at the
next meeting of the Council: Fourth
street from Main to Jefferson the
cost, per front foot was $5.85, or
$3.75 per square yard; from Main to
Columbia, $(5.!14 per front foot and
£147 per square yard; from Colum
bia to Water, #7.(18 per front foot
and *3.54 per square yard. On Co
lumbia street from Third to Fifth.
$7.71 per front foot and $3.45 per
square yard.
Land-slides are not confined to
Capitol Hill. The Westside also has
considerable disintegration of soil on
the steep l>ank that skirts the bay.
The homes of J. A. Graham and O.
B! Iverson, on the hill about a block
north of the bridge were almost de
molished by a slide, Tuesday. It
now seems that they will be com
pelled to move the buildings toother
locations. The rainfall for 24 hours
from noon Monday, was 2.52 inches,
unprecedented for many years. It
Is probably that the freeze which
preceded the rain is responsible for
much of this damage from land
slides.
H. C. Clay, owner of the Rapid
City R»inrtrr, of Manitoba, was in
the city a few days ago, with his
wife and family, seeking a new loca
tion. presumably as well as a new
field for his "daily." For a good
location he has only to look over the
happiness of our people and the
thrifty appearance of our daily news
papers. This is the "chosen land"
such as Moses sought after his long
sojourn in the wilderness. Come,
come at once; doubtless a " Merg"
and a perfecting press or two might
be donated or bought cheaply, if Mr.
Clay can show that he is made from
the right kind of " mud."
Another slide, near the depot
grounds, under the bluff fronting
Capitol Hill, happened as a moving
train was passing, Tuesday evening,
about 6:311 o'clock. The slide hap
pened just as the engine struck soil
that had been loosened by the thaw
and rain, and the heavy machine slid
to the embankment and fell into the
bay, tbecoupling fortunately parting
leaving the cars on the track. An
other lucky circumstance was that
the engineer when he went down with
the locomotive, struck mud instead
of water, and being held therein by
the ponderous machine would have
undoubtedly been drowned had the
tide been full, as it took about half an
hour to get him from his terrible
position.
A house-warming has been planned
for the executive mansion by the
State Building Commission. It
seems the structure has cost just the
amount appropriated, 935,000, and
is unfurnished, and a committee of
ladies has been appointed to secure
the loan of such furnishings as may
be required for the social function,
which is set for Thursday, Jan. 28th.
The following committees have been
appoiuted to manage the affair:
Arrangements—Mrs. A H. Chambers,
Mrs. George Filley, Mrs. A. 8. Ruth,
Mrs. I'. 11. Carlyon, Mrs. C. J. Lord,
Mr*. 11. C. Hadley, Mrs. If. P. Crow,
Refreshments—Mrs. J. R. Mitchell.

C. A. Ridings, Mrs. C. 8. Eaton. Mrs.
Wallace Mount, Miss Janet Mjore.

How WE CORKS SWIM! —How we do
progress—towards monarchial pomp!
Advancement of salaries and per
quisites from the highest to the
lowest, is no-v in order. The Presi
dent's salary is to be doubled, and
the government is to buy him $30,-
000 worth of automobiles!

William Billings Passes Over The Great
Divide
The death of William Hillings
Sunday morning, leave- a wide gap
in the line of pioneers who braved the
hard-hip- of frontier life on r half a
century ago
He was among the early gold
seekers, who .-ailed for * a'ifornia. in ;
1.-lr by wav of Cape Horn, on a
whaling ship which touched at Hon-j
olulu and theneaineon to San h ran
cisco. where he arrived in HP.t. After
a short time spent in the mines, he
came on to Portland. Oregon, in K">u.
where he aeipiired considerate realty
that, had he kept it. would have made
him a man of wealth. lint like many,
he disposed of it and. in the fall of
is;,l, came to this city, which had
virtually I wen hi- home ever since.
He came from Ripton. Vermont,
w here he was torn Oct -7. 1527.
From this place he has made sev
eral expeditions. mostly with mining
intent. One of these trips was to
Queen Charlotte Island, he with oth
ers having t«iught the brig Kagle in
which to make the voyage. 1 lie
vessel was wrecked, and for a time
the voyagers lived with the natives
of the Island. They were finally
rescued by an F.nglish ship and
brought to Puget Sound.
In the early ;>os he visited the
Florence. Idaho, and the Salmon and
Fraser river mines, but did not
strike *' pay dirt.
Here deceased was an ever active
entity of the developing forces of the
new country. A jtortion of his time
was spent in the Indian service of
the Territory, but most of his efforts
were devoted to development of lat
ent resources. He started, in a
small way. the manufacture of wil
low-ware. by convict labor, but rov
ing cattle destroyed his patch of wil
low- and the promising enterprise
came to a sudden and disastrous end.
In 1H79. with Oliver Shead and J.
R. Smith, he contracted for the care
and safe-keeping of the Territorial
convicts, and to render the enter
prise, much as jiossible self-sus
taining. built a large wood-working
factory at Seatco, and established a
brick-making plant there, which
they maintained and operated until
the penitentiary was provided at
Walla Walla and supervision of the
convicts was assumed by the Terri
tory.
Mr. Billings served as a volunteer
in tin? Indian war of lSjj-ti, in Capt.
Hay's company.
In every field of duty he seems to
have planned well and brought to
bear a commendable industry, but
the peculiar guiding spirit of luck
was not his to any apparent degree.
He was liberal in allhis dealings, and
that he commanded in an eminent
degree the confidence of his fellow
men is shown in the fact that he was
for a quarter of a century continu
ously elected Sheriff of Thurston
county, and that he at one time held
the combined authority of Deputy
U. S. Marshal, Sheriff and City
Marshal.
lie leaves a widow and four des
cendants, all grown —Mrs. Cleora Me-
Vey, Miss Blanche, Charles A., and
AI den Billings.
He was buried with Masonic hon
ors, in their cemetery and with the
beautiful service of the order, Tues
day afternoon. A large concourse
of citizens, and many of the old set
tlers as well as new comers, testified
their respect to his memory by their
presence. Many floral offerings were
also in evidence as mute testimonials
of esteem.

TENI NO, January ltith, 1909
EDITOR STANDARD:
After reading your editorial in the
a late issue of the STANDARD
about the heavy court expenses be
ing a burden upon the taxpayers of
this county, advising the Commis
sioners to itemize them and give them
to the public through the press, it
strikes me the suggestion is an excel
lent one. The people will then be en
abled to see how their money is tak
ing expended by the county admin
istration.
There isa report in circulation to the
effect this county i>ays yearly nearly
five thousand dollars in jurors' fees
and mileage. Is there not some way
of getting at this matter in order to
inform the public? The court officials'
salaries are fixed by the law, and we
can tell something near what officers
connected with court business receive,
but it is different concerning jurors'
and witnesses' fees, paid out of the
county treasury. Would not the Clerk
of the court furnish to the press of
this county if requested an itemized
account of the jurors' fees with names
appended in order we may find out
who is drawing down the county
money? If the list wero published
after each jury term, it need not oc
cupy so much space that it would be
burdensome to give the desired in
formation. We would like to know
who gets our money. Then in politi
cal campaigns we can better interpret
the conservatism of the beneficiaries,
and appreciate how our countv af
fairs are so one-sided in the political
sense, and why occasional changes
would become beneficial.
The many friend of Judge Mitchell
believe he will do his best to make
the jury sessions as short as possible,
to which the lawyers ought to lend
their help, thus keeping public ex
penses down to the lowest figures
possible. Somo of the jurors who
have served in recent years have
complained of having little to do, and
much time was wasted by delay in
getting down to business.
Yours hoping,
TAXPAYER.

the Legislature has lost much of its
importance since the people are al
lowed to express a preference which
actually elects the most popular can
didate for the United States Senate.
I'resent Congressmen Wesley L.
Jones. Republican, of North Yak
ima, was elected Senator to suc
ceed Ankeny, of Walla Walla. Tues
day. by a .oteof 12K: (Jeorge F. Cot
terill. Deni., receiving ti votes. As
submission of this question to an
advisory vote of the people, was of
Democratic origin, it is a matter of
congratulation that the result has
been so sat isfactory. There has been
no evidence of the use of " boodle"'
or other means of corruption: and
the result was reached expeditiously
and without the slightest disorder.
A bill introduced by Whalley of
King, in the House amends the di
vorce laws by requiring applicants
to have been residents of this State
for over two years, and that they
must have been married a year. De
nial of re-marriage of either party is
subject to discretion of the court,
but such prohibition must not ex
ceed live years. The decree does not
become absolute till the expiration
of six months and entry of decree.
Another bill on this subject was
introduced by Representative Fdge of
Spokane. It provides that before a
marriage license is issued the atti
davits of at least two, reputable per
sons be tiled with the County Audi
tor, declaring that the couple are of
the proper age and are not habit
ual drunkards, criminals, epileptics,
feeble-minded or insane. The bill
provides that any of the ailments just
given disqualifies the woman unless
sho is more than 4f» years old, and the
man at any age. A fine of sl.(KM)and
a year's imprisonment is the limit of
the penalty for the preacher or jus
tice of the peace who marries a dis
qualified couple, or for affiants who
swore falsely. If a County Auditor
issues a license without requiring the
consent of parents of minors who
are to marry, or fails to ]>erform his
duty under the act, he may l>e fined
SSOO.
A SKATTI.K disjutch uf the 18th
states that a richly dressed woman
was found floating in a skiff, face
downwards in Klliott hay, that day by
Capt Thompson, of the tug Mayflower.
She was alive but unconscious when
taken to the police station, but soon
diet!. The only duo so far af
forded to her identity is a delicately
tattooed bracelet on the left arm with
the word " Milla" on it.
