I gating committee's report. The commit-j tee was created to enquire only into tlie

I charges against Wainer, lint finally wentinto an investigation of every passingrumor. Upon these rumors the commit-tee was not ready to report. These rum-ors, the testimony shows, related to thework of "grafters," who came to Olympia,as of yore, to work the field for what therewas in it. One Book, an insurance manfrom Tacoma, gave the whole snap awaywhen he testified that the object of these"grafters" was to blackmail Turner, and

Tho only difference between promoters'stock and treasury stock lies in this:When a company is organized, say, for$1,000,000 in .fl shares, the property,which may bo one or more mineralclaims, is usually deeded to the companyfor the entire stock. The property may be

1 worth anywhere from if 100 to $1,000,000.The stock is taken in full payment of the

j claim, as a rule. If the stock is non-assessable the company would have nofunds, as it had realized nothing butproperty from the sale of its entire capitalstock. This being the case, the holdersof the stock, who are necessarily the pro-moters of the company, deed a percent-age of the stock to the treasury of thecompany to be sold only for developmentpurposes. The rest of the stock is pro-moters' stock, and has cost them from afraction of a cent to $1 a share, according

, to the attual cash value of the property.The public is invited to purchase treasury

| stock at a price considerably higher thanj what their stock cost tho promoters. IfI the property, which is developed entirely

. from the proceeds of the sale of treasuryjstock, makes a mine, then every share-

! holder makes money. If promoters havenot faith enough in the mine to pool theirholdings and protect the treasury of the

1 company it is usually a good stock for theinvestor to leave alone.?Kosslar.d Miner.

COUNTY ITEMS.

FROM GRAND FORKS.

Our cold snap has given place to a verywet rain.

Our school has closed, and the childrenfind it hard to put in their time.

Ed. Iloover, our genial deputy sheriff,had business in these parts one day lastweek.

Frank Wilson and Harry Coles, Jr.,spent a couple of days on the Wynoochoriver last week.

W. B. Wilson is overwhelmed withletters inquiring about bis "patent fireescape." Hotel keepers and travelersare especially interested.

Our neighbors sometimes indulge inpleasantries, like the following:

First Neighbor?l bear you call nie adog.

Second Neighbor?You're mistaken; Imerely romarked that if I should be bit-ten by you, I would doctor for the hydro-phobia.

A neighbor told us to read the Repub-lican papers if we wanted to know allabout returning "confidence and pros-perity." Grasping at every glimmer ofhope, we sent for and received a bundleof seventeen of the leading Republicanpapers: we carefully perused them, andnow we know more about "PatentMedicines" than we ever dreamed of.We are still groping in darkness for theignis fatuus that led so many astray, butare fast being converted to the beliefthat Ilanna won solely by the "confi-dence game." Will the masses everlearn by experience who the true friendsof labor are? Or will the next four yearsmore firmly fix their fetters and sub-jugate them to the money power? Theycan carry their monov schemes just sofar, but there are active and fearlessminds at work, ready to expose thetreachery of those traitors to good gov-

I eminent. Patriots at our very doors may! be massacred in cold blood, Liberty and| Freedom may plead in vain for recogni-I tioti, the shrieks of murdered womenand children may not move the heartsof the powers at Washington, but all thisis being stored up in the memory of theAmerican people who are not wedded tothe worship of Mammon and will be

i brought forth and used in crushing re-jbuke to those who are, now in the great

i hour of need, unmoved by the slaughter! in the fair island of Cuba, to say nothingof the want and misery in our own land.

FROM WEBTPORT.

Mr. Carrier is again in our midst, andi is spading up ground for a garden.

Rev. Nye preached in North Cove lastj Sunday ; he is doing some good work,

i Sportsmen are having good successhere at present, shooting brants, of

I which theie arc a great number.It is reported that the contractor for

the light-house will be here in a fewdays to look over the ground and makepreparations for commencing his work,

i Mr. and Mrs. Ueorge Scainmon werevisiting friends in North Cove last week,returning on Friday. They report hav-ing had a good time, and that every-thing is quiet there.

A quantity of black sand was shippedfrom here to San Francisco, last week, tcbo tested for its iron. Several claims

, have been staked out along the beach,? i which are expected to be woiked soon.

FROM OCOSTA.

Experts who have tested the iron in thesand pronounce it first-class and that itmakes a high grade of steel. We under-stand that a smelter for the reduction ofthis sand is likely to be located here inthe near future.

A very successful Box Social was hadat the Pavilion, Saturday night, for thebenefit of the Presbyterian church. Thereceipts of the evening amounted to$4.85; and everybody had a joyful timesinging, speech-making, Ac.

Kev. Dr. Thompson did not preachhere last Sunday, being unable to fillhis appointment, much to the regret ofWestport church-goers. However, we hadSunday school, and a song-service in theevening, led by Mrs. Finley, which waswell attended.

We look tor wedding bells to ring here"when the swallows homeward fly andthe robins nest again, and the flowerscommence to bloom"?about the first ofJune. Oh! what a gathering there willbe, this wedding for to see. Hut then itmay not take place here, after all.

Frank Thompson and Mr. Measor aregetting out poles for the new telephoneline, which is to run down Ocean avenueto the sand ridge, thence down by Colias-sett to the county road, connecting withthe main line. The line had to be re-built, and this new route makes it moreconvenient for all interested.

The South Park school closed lastweek, and a very interesting and success-ful entertainment was given by the pupilson Saturday evening. Much praise isgiven the teacher, Miss Eflie Maratte,for the manner in which the school liasbeen conducted.

The report of uiensles in Ocosta provesto lie false?only a case ofrash.

Ed Smith and Frank l'eterson, wholeft here last spi ing for the green fieldsof Oregon, are expected to return soon.

If any mill man thinks lumberingpays, Ocosta has a 50,000-feet capacitymill for $5,000, and logs for same at if.'!.soper 1,000 foct to offer him.

School opened here this week. Thedistant payment of warrants deferredschool any earlier. Mr. Grcenway willassume the task of managing about sixtypupils.

It is believed here that the Squiremuddle at Olympia may be the secondchapter of a similar occurrence aboutsix years ago, which, of course, WatsonC. knows nothing about.

The N. I'. 11. It. Co. have put thirtycar loads of broken rock into Kedmondcreek gateway, or tide-gate. This pre-cludes any further serious overflow of thetide-flat portion of Ocosta.

Many people are preparing to leaveOcosta in the spring for the mining dis-tricts. So long as no gold-bug tnakes a"kick" on the miners' profit of ninetyper cent, in mining gold and gives thecountry nothing else to do, mining is thebest business.

And now conies that wiseacre of theIloquiani Washingtonian and says peopleought to stop their vap about prosperityuntil the Republicans have had time tcinaugurate better times. We think thaiis a change that has come over the Republicans since the election, for about 01per e?nt of the Republican whipperi'is 01speakers told us before election that a.'soon as it was ascertained that McKinlevwas elected there would be such a wavt
