That celebrated the daily event 4m the town, the arrival of the Morning and evening local trains, @nd that bumped and jolted and @wayed the occasional traveling Man to the local hosteiry. ‘The old-fashioned bus, with its Plodding pair of bays, its smoky lanterns, its rickety steps be- , and its little perched-up seat HE staid and settled mid dle aged folks who ramped about in their Almost we had forgotten there ‘Was such a vehicle, but recently we Saw one, and it wasn't in the mov- Ses, either.

But, with the exception of Den- ver, we recall no state capital that is Not enwrapped with calm, satur ated with passivity, and soaked in languor. Nice towns, towns with fine homes and wide streets, and an en- tire absence of anything on the streets to wear out the pavement. Wonderful pleasure resorts for the jaded who wish the simple life, and get all excited over watch- the nurses whiz by, pushing their wicker go-carts and little cabs. We know of no more peaceful spot in these parts than Olympia between sessions of the legisiature. And always in 4 capital the most holy calm, the most utterly clols- tered peace will be found in the capitol building, where gentlemen and ladies of official leisure pick their teeth and powder their nose and calmly wait for another pay day to roil around. ove UT if you desire action ev- ery day in the week, hunt a mining town or an oil town. Spokane has never calmed down to the sedate pace; probably it will always have a warmth of the old mining fever in its veins, when fortunes dropped down from high heaven into the laps of wash ladies, and boarding house ladies, and small shopkeep- ers, and created a new aristocracy 0 quickly that a lot of them didn't trouble to take off the kitchen apron; they just put on silk and satin and furs right over the calico, and hung diamonds here and yon to set off the whole. No matter how poverty-stricken Spokane has been; no matter how tough the going, it has always kept on the jump and kept busy, even if it was only swapping its lone dollar from one pants pocket to another. And so it has flourished, and gradually become a real city, No matter how prosperous Olympia may get, it will remain calm, conservative, leisurely and sedate. On a bigger scale the same thing ig true of Portland; until recently it has been true of Los Angeles, but Los Angeles has fallen out of her 200-year-old bed and is now do ing something besides entertaining tourists: For Your Convenience Copy for Classified advertising and Want Ad Rhyme may be left at the downtown Classi- fied branch, located in rear of Bartell’s, 610 Second avenue. </LOVE TRIANGLE ENDS FATALLY Did Police Sergeant Guy Carleton pay the death penalty jat the hands of a brother officer because he failed to heed | the warnings of an enraged husband? held Motorcycle Officer Charles A.

B. Monks, president of the Washington State Fuel Dealers’ association, There will be no attempt made in the Northwest to break the strike with nonunion strikebreakers, according to N, D. Moore, president of the Washington Coal Operators’ assdciation. David Whitcomb, formerly exec: | tive secretary of the national fuel ad- ministration, was awaiting reply Monday from Dr, Harry A.

There are still some 200,000 of the na- tion's 300,000 coal miners at work mining hard coal, which is used ex- tensively in households thruout the east.
