Bowes, grand chief ranger of the Foresters of America, of the atafte of Washington, won a stiff fight at the meeting of the grand court in Olympia Wednesday.

This was the bee disease bill, which sought to impose penalties on persons sending diseased bees from one place to another by post. When the bill was under discussion it was remembered that there was nothing to prevent a diseased bee journeying on* its own account. Infected swarms might even fly from one spot to another. On such a journey a bee, meeting an inspector, might refuse to stop and produce a health certificate! Ilence it became apparent that the provisions of the bill were more or less of a farce.Terrors of the Dutch Language.The names of the streets and the names over the shop doors in Holland are eminently calculated to tie your eye up in a knot.
