[Name not visible] HON WILLIAM LAIRD M'CORMICK Who Will Be Republican Nominee for Mayor of Tacoma. The man most frequently and favorably mentioned for the Republican nomination for mayor of Tacoma by the ensuing convention is Hon. William Laird McCormick, a very prominent, energetic, useful and public-spirited business man of that beautiful, important and rapidly-growing city. Though a resident of Tacoma for but a few years past, Mr. McCormick has long had business interests in that city and in Western Washington, and notwithstanding having had very large and important interests in ROBERT S. I. Republican Candidate for the N Wisconsin and Minnesota for many years, he became so greatly impressed and delighted with Tacoma and the region of which it is the commercial center that he chose it for his permanent home, and has ever since been one of the greatest business factors in its development. Though modest and democratic in demeanor, and not inclined to boast of his many successes and preferments, there is perhaps no citizen of Tacoma who has held so many and varied positions of trust and responsibility as Mr. McCormick. He is every inch the progressive, successful business man, but he is more than that; he is a scholar, a student, a man who enjoys and can take a leading place in educational affairs and in society; a man utterly clean, square, upright and above reproach in all his methods and transactions; a man to be trusted implicitly in any position, private or public, that he assumes. Mr.McCormick has indeed had a wonderfully busy and brilliant career, one perhaps not paralleled in variety, scope and success by that of any man in the Pacific Northwest. He was born in Pennsylvania on a farm in 1847, of Irish descent, and attended school and did farm work till 1861, when he went into the army, but was sent home on account of his youth, and then attended a military institute in Philadelphia. He then studied law and was for several months in a railway office, and then became a clerk in a store in Ohio for a year. In 1868 he became cashier of a firm of lumber manufacturers in Winona, Minn., with which he has ever since been intimately associated. On account of poor health from office confinement, he opened a retail lumber store at Wanseka, Minn., in which he has since been interested. While at this place he filled the office of councilman, mayor and state senator. About 1882 he became interested, through the then president of the C., St. P. --- MR. ARTHUR G. PRICHARD Cashier of the Fidelity Trust Company Bank, Tacoma M. & O. railroad, in immense tracts of pine timber lands in Northern Wisconsin, and became secretary and treasurer of the North Wisconsin Lumber Co., among his associates being F. Weyerhauser, W. H. Laird, M. G. and J. L. Norton, A. J. Hayward and others. The company bought 15 townships of timber land and built a large mill, which it operated till 1902. This company also organized and conducted the Sawyer County bank. In 1890 Mr. McCormick organized the Northern Grain & Flour Co., of Ashland, Wis., and has been its secretary and treasurer ever since, the company having offices in Chicago and elevators at Manitowac McCORMICK Nomination as Mayor, of Tacoma with a capacity of 2,000,000 bushels. He is president of the Mississippi & Rum River Boom Co.; secretary and treasurer of lumber companies at Clinton, Iowa; president of the Mississippi Land Co., of Minneapolis; vice-president of a land company at St. Paul; president of the Duluth Universal Mill Co., and secretary and treasurer of the Weyerhauser Timber Co., of Tacoma, perhaps the larg- MR. ARTHUR Cashier of the Fidelity Trust est organization of its kind in the world, and he is president of the Pacific National bank of this city. Mr. McCormick has also many other than strictly business interests. He has been president of the Harvard Free Library association and of the State Historical society of Wisconsin; president of the board of trustees of the Ashland, Wis., academy, and trustee of the Congregational church there. He is an eminent member of the Masonic fraternity, a member of the Sons of Veterans, of the Sons of the American Revolution, of the Society of the War of 1812, and of the Minnesota club. He served six years in the '80s as treasurer of Sawyer county, and was subsequently chairman of its board of supervisors. He was a delegate to the National Republican conventions of 1880 and 1900. Mr. McCormick in his busy life has found time to write considerable, having written several noted articles and pamphlets on local educational, business and historical subjects. Mr. McCormick was married in 1870, and there are two surviving children, his elder son, William Laird McCormick, Jr., being a prominent lawyer and public man of Ashland, Wis. What he was for many years in Wisconsin and Minnesota, Mr. McCormick is in Tacoma and Washington—a very active, progressive, enterprising, useful and model business man and leading citizen. His chief interests are now here, and he has done, is doing and will do, very much toward building up and advancing the interests of this city and region. Mr. McCormick has a national as well as a local fame, and his election as mayor would be commented on in several states of the Union. Mr. McCormick has always dealt fairly and liberally with wage-earners, of which he has been one; he is liberal to worthy charities; he is deeply and zealously interested in education; he believes thoroughly in good, clean municipal government; he is a man of vast experience in business and public affairs; he is a man to thoroughly trusted in any executive position, and would undoubtedly make an ideal mayor of Tacoma, where his business interests are now centered. Personally Mr. McCormick is a stout, strong, robust, handsome, attractive man, who looks several years younger than he is; he is approachable and affable; is endowed with great capacity for work; is clear-headed and in every respect reliable; and the Republicans of Tacoma certainly could not make a better selection as their candidate for mayor. He would surely be elected, and would as surely serve that city well G. PRICHARD first Company Bank, Tacoma and to its great advantage. Mr. McCormick is a man whom Tacoma may well welcome and honor. He has been and will be a great developer of that city. Besides possessing remarkable business abilities, his is a most admirable nature and character. There is nothing shallow or deceptive about him. His word is as good as his bond, and he is truly one of nature's noblemen. His nomination would doubtless add strength to the whole Republican ticket in Tacoma and Pierce county, a consideration not to be overlooked. ARTHUR G. PRITCHARD, CASHIER FIDELITY TRUST CO., TACO- MA, WASH. The subject of this sketch, whose portrait appears herewith, is at the head of one of the strongest financial institutions in the Northwest—the Fidelity Trust Co., of Tacoma. Mr. Arthur G. Pritchard is one of the ablest, most progressive and popular financiers on the Coast and has fully earned the distinguished place he holds among them. The popularity and rapid development and growth of the Fidelity Trust Co.'s extensive business for many years is due largely to Mr. Pritchard's business acumen and faithful devotion to the affairs of the great concern of which he is cashier. The Fidelity Trust Co. has a paid-up capital of $300,000, a surplus of $70,000 and deposits of $1,600,000. Its savings bank department pays 3 per cent interest semi-annually on deposits. The remarkably substantial growth of the Fidelity Trust Co.'s business suggests the leading characteristic of Mr. Pritchard's business policy. He is known in financial circles far beyond the borders of the Pacific Coast as a conservative, careful and safe financier. The growth of the City of Destiny is in great measure due to the progressive and public-spirited business methods and foresight of such young stalwarts in the commercial world as Mr. Arthur Pritchard. COST $100,000 A MILE. Railroads Contractor Talks of New Northern Pacific Cut-off. Tacoma — "When completed the Northern Pacific Columbia river road will be the best piece of trackage anywhere in the West," said a railway contractor on his way to take charge of work 20 miles north of Vancouver. "It will compare with any roads in the Atlantic states. Some of the grading will cost $100,000 a mile. There are two miles, at a point 17 miles north of Vancouver, where there are no trees to speak of and no rocks, that will cost $50,000 each, but it is all steam shovel work. It is estimated that the sub contractor, who will work a steam shovel, about 20 men and several teams of borses, will need at least a year to complete these two miles. "The grade of the road from Vancouver to Kennewick will not exceed two-tenths of 1 per cent, as compared with a 2 per cent grade in the present line across the mountains. No curve will be greater than 3 degrees as compared with 7 or 8 degrees in the O. R. & N. tracks south of the river." Members Supplied the Cash. Wenatchee — The Chelan County Horticultural association held its regular monthly meeting last week in Wenatchee. It was found the cash on hand was insufficient to pay the bills presented this month. To overcome this about 20 members paid their bills for one year in advance. The reason for the many bill is the large expense incurred in holding the farmers' institute a few weeks ago. The society is in a prosperous condition and the shortage of cash is only temporary Won't Make Sugar in 1906: Ellensburg—C. W. Adams, who has been endeavoring to finance the beet sugar factory here, is here from Seattle. It is definitely settled that the factory will not be built this year, but the project has by no means been abandoned. A building may be constructed this summer and machinery installed so that the crop of 1907 may be utilized. An effort will be made to keep the association together and to sign up farmers for an acreage next year. Good Price for Fruit Land. North Yakima—Still another record breaking price has been paid for choice irrigated lands in Yakima county. E. J. Haaze, who last week sold 10 acres of fruit land on Nob hill, has purchased from W. N. Irish two and a half acres adjoining the tract he sold, for $5,000, or $2,000 an acre. The land is planted to apples and pears. The highest price heretofore recorded was the sale made by Mr. Haaze—$1,900 an acre. Spiced Crawfish Served Fresh Every Day, Clatsop Beach Razor Clams to Order, Any Style. Yaquina Crabs Are the Best.

ROOSEVELT'S BIGGEST BEAR. How the President Risked His Life to Get a Large Grizzly. It was when ranching that his steadiness with a gun in the face of a charging bear was proved, says McClure's Magazine. It was then that he got his biggest grizzly, whose skin is now prized as one of his best trophies as well as a souvenir of a very exciting incident in his life. He was camping alone in the foothills of the Rockies, and had wandered off with his rifle in search of game. Coming suddenly on a huge grizzly he wounded it, and the bear retreated to cover in a near-by thicket. As Roosevelt was endeavoring to locate the quarry from the open the bear suddenly appeared. He fired, but the bullet did not stop the rush of the maudden animal. Blowing bloody foam from his mouth, the bear charged straight at Roosevelt. "I walted until he came to a fallen tree," wrote the hunter, "raking him as he topped it with a ball which entered his chest and went through the cavity of his body, but he neither swerved nor filmed, and at the moment I did not know that I had struck him. He came steadily on, and in another second was almost upon me. I fired for his forehead, but my bullet went low, entering his open mouth, smashing his lower jaw and going into his neck. I leaped to one side almost as I pulled the trigger, and through the hanging smoke the first thing I saw was his paw as he made a vicious side blow at me. The rush of his charge carried him past. As he struck he lurched forward, leaving a pool of bright blood where his muzzle hit the ground; but he recovered himself and made two or three jumps onward, while I hurriedly jammed a couple of cartridges into the magazine—my rifle holding only four, all of which I had fired. Then he tried to pull up, but as he did so his muscles seemed suddenly to give way, his head dropped and he rolled over and over like a shot rabbit. Each of my three bullets had inflicted a mortal wound." The President has well earned the distinction of being a successful hunter. He has killed every kind of North American big game. And yet there is far more discussion of the habits and characteristics of wild animals in writings than there is record of the killing of game. On just one occasion when living in the west was Roosevelt in danger of serious molestation. He was threatened when that physical vigor for which he had striven had come in full measure. A big brawler, mistaking him for a tenderfoot, cursed him roundly, and pointing two revolvers at him, ordered him to buy the drinks. Roosevelt, perfectly composed, made as if to comply with the request. But as he got within reach of his tormentor, with a rush born of his cleverness in boxing, he delivered a blow on the man's law that stretched him full length on the floor. Meantime, the pistols had gone off, the bullets penetrating the ceiling and doing no harm to anybody. When the brawler opened his eyes he was ready to surrender his guns and to cry for quarter. Wherefore, be it said that, true to his laterday preenchant, Roosevelt, was never spoiling for a fight, but would not suffer an insult. A man of his type is not often insulted. Facts About Erie Canal. Some taxpayers still associate the Erie canal with a mule. These erring citizens forget the steam consort, says Leslie's Weekly. It was by steam consort standard, upon which the people of New York State two years ago based their vote sanctioning the expenditure of $101,000.00 for an improved Erie canal, a practically new canal, known officially as the Erie 100-Ton Barre canal. What does $101,000,000 mean? It means that the new Erie canal is to be the most costly artificial waterway in the world. It means that the Erie canal is to cost $1,000,000 more than the one at Suez. It means that the Erie canal is to cost twenty-five times as much as the Soo—the greatest ship canal on earth in point of tonnage. It means that the Erie canal is to cost more than the Manchester ship canal, which cost a trifle of $75,000,000. It means that the new Erie 1,000-Ton Barge canal is to cost even more than the world's most colossal engineering feat—the Panama canal. It means that $52,000,000 spent in the past and $9,000,000 spent in the last decade must be added to the $101,000,000, and hence, that the new Erie canal, when finished in 1913, will have cost, old and new, a matter of $161,000,000, or some $11,000,000 more than the estimate of the total cost of building Uncle Sam's Panama canal. Eggs Contain a Poison. Paragraphs have been extensively published in the daily papers dealing with the researches of M. Loisel, of Paris, on the recurrence of poisonous principles in eggs. It seems that the yolk of the eggs of hens, ducks and tortoises contain a poison which, if injected into the veins or otherwise inoculated into the animal body, causes death from its effects on the nervous system. The white of the tortoise's egg also contains a toxic substance. Why eggs are not poisonous as ordinarily used or even when eaten raw may be explained on the ground that the action of digestion alters the composition of the egg or at least modifies it so that ill effects are avoided. Indeed, it is easy to show that certain foods at a particular stage of digestion are "poisons." It is the action of the liver on such foods which rob them of their power to do harm. TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT CUT IN RATES While Electric Light has always been admittedly the best artificial light known, some persons have heretofore based objections to its use on the score of cost. With the Sweeping Reduction just announced, no store or residence in Portland need be without Electric Light after this date an account of the cost. The reduction is from 20 cents to 15 cents a Kilowatt Hour or Twenty-Five Per Cent of the base rate. The 25 per cent cut in rates for Electric Lighting means that in more of Portland's homes will be found that greater degree of comfort and convenience afforded by the use of Electricity. It means that more of Portland's households are secure from the fire hazard; it means healthier conditions, Lighter Hearts, Lighter Homes and Lighter Bills.

Nobody has as yet proposed that trust directors who refuse to testify be chloroformed. Prosperity is so abounding that the dearth of teachers for the rural schools continues. The country might well afford to pension the father or mother who is the parent of twenty-seven children. A man has invented a safe air ship.

Possibly the two-talled comet discovered by Prof. Lowell not long ago means worse trouble for the two-headed eagle. All the same, there may be misguided people residing on Mars who think this earth is a paradise, inhabited only by celestial beings. No one can blame a Congressman for being sore because he is deprived of the luxury of receiving 20 cents a mile for riding on a pass. Anyone can become famous easily. Just write a letter to somebody advocating that people be chloroformed for some reason or other. It is tantalizing to reflect that the people of Mars must have solved, ages ago, all the problems that confront this worried old earth. Henry Watterson says English newspapers are better than American newspapers. Henry can't get over his prejudice against the pert paragraph. Zadkiel, the London astrologer, gives these instructions for to-day: "Keep quiet. Do not quarrel." Even an astrologer says sensible things sometimes. The Fish Commission is trying to decide whether the German carp is a curse or a benefit. Depends, we imagine, whether you are eating them or selling them. The clerk of the Chicago Juvenile Court says girls are worse than boys. He will probably admit, too, that if there were no women crime would at length die out. If Mars has merely a network of canals, and no railways, automobiles or flying machines, it is absurd to claim a superior civilization for the people of that planet. The hazers must go, and the sooner they go the better it will be for everybody but the hazers. It will not make much difference to the world what happens to them after they are put out. Mormons from Utah are establishing a great colony in Chihuahua, Mexico, where they can practice their belief without interference from the government. As any sect may practice its belief in the United States without governmental interference, so long as the laws of the land are not violated, the inference is that these emigrating Mormons cling to their idol of polygamy. There are men who love dollars simply for the sound of their jingle and others who seek riches simply for the power they bring, but the great mass of those who are trying to roll-up fortunes are in pursuit of the social privileges that wealth affords. If it were plain to all these last that stolen money was a bar, not a hoist; that to be a thief was to toforit one's chance to enter the coveted circles, then the real remedy for the rot that has spread so wide would be at hand. But there are precious few signs of any such sentiment. One hundred and six persons in each thousand of the population of the country over 10 years old cannot write. The latest bulletin of the Census Bureau gives forty-six illiterates in a thousand of the native whites and a hundred and twenty-eight in a thousand of foreign-born. It is satisfying to note that illiteracy is decreasing steadily, especially among the native-born, for whom the statistics for 1890 show sixty-two illiterate in a thousand. Among children illiteracy is greater in the country than in the cities, owing to lack of school facilities in tinnily populated regions. In cities of more than twenty-five thousand there are only ten illiterate children per thousand. Primarily the great reason for educating the young is that they may be made good citizens. The public school systems of the country are not founded with a view to training the boy in early life in a manner to make him a "good business man" when he grows to maturity. They are founded and maintained because the country has need of good citizens—citizens in whom patriotism and honesty shall not be entirely subordinated to the love of money making. Therefore it is disappointing to hear a leader in the work of child education give tongue to sentiments similar to those expressed by the president of the Illinois State Teachers' Association at Springfield when he said: "It is better to develop clear heads and stiff backbones than warm hearts." There is nothing the matter with the backbone and no lack of clearness in the head of the average American. The fierce competitive life has cared for the development of these parts. It has made the American the leader in the material things of the world. He sees more clearly the road to money and travels the road more directly and with a stiffer backbone than the men of any other race. As a type he is the most efficient money making machine in existence. This acquired ability in money making, however, has brought with it many of the evils that are being thrashed out in courts and newspapers all over the country. For with this clear minded, stiff backbone ability has come a dulled conscience and an atrophy of the finer sensibilities. John D. Rockefeller in advising the young man who wishes to succeed to deny himself all happy intercourse with his fellow men effectively illustrated this development of character—the character that has the clear mind and the stiff backbone, but no warm heart. A clear mind and a stiff backbone! The country is full of them. They are to be found wherever wealth and power have their abode. They make successful men, but it is being proved daily that they do not necessarily make good citizens. It is the warm heart that we need more in our national life. Sympathy, humanitarianism, patriotism, honesty. These are the attributes of the warm heart. To suggest that the school children of the country be taught to regard them as things that should be shunned is a serious mistake. There appears to be grave need of a complete overhauling of our national laws covering the disposal of the lands which belong to the whole people. Setting altogether aside the criminal and quasi-criminal land operations which under Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock's persistent investigations and prosecutions have already resulted disastrous to some of those implicated, a glance at conditions revealed in publicly reported facts and figures indicates the necessity for amending the laws. The people are all equally owners of these lands and it is to their interest that when they pass out of public ownership it shall be, primarily, for the purpose of being devoted to the making of homes and adding to the productive power of the nation. It is a commonplace truth that we have been too much in the habit of regarding the public stock of lands as inexhaustible. It is beginning to appear that the end is within sight. The congestion of population in cities is one the noteworthy phenomena of the past thirty or more years. Naturally, we would expect it to be accompanied by a diminished flow toward private ownership of lands, and for some years in the latter part of the last century this was true. In 1898 only about 8,500,000 acres of public lands were sold to private purchasers. But by 1901 the number of acres sold had doubled and in 1903 it rose to nearly 23,000,000 acres. The reports of sales for last year and the current year are not at hand, but from a great variety of private sources, within this year especially, there have come accounts of a rush of land seekers and buyers in one way or another all over the western portion of our country where only public lands are for sale. So far as these land-seekers look in good faith to making homes and putting the lands to individual use in production this is a hopeful and helpful process for the whole people, but it is believed that a very large part of the inquiry is in the interest of projected railways, or, among the regions known as arid or semiarid, in the interest of speculating companies looking to the realization of great profits through the carrying out of vast irrigation plans on which the government has entered or will enter or that these and other companies may undertake. The nation has left now less than 536,000,000 acres, no small part of which is mountain and desert and swamp. Twenty-five million acres of yearly sales will soon make away with all of this. Is it not quite time for the United States to withdraw what is left of the public lands from all sale except for home-stead uses in good faith and keep it henceforth for such use alone? The little girl who, after a drink of soda, declared that her nose felt as if her foot were asleep, has evidently grown up and retained her happy power of expression. For evidently the young lady mentioned in Punch is the same person who drank bubbles when she was small. The young woman was travelling in a coach as an elderly and somewhat sour-looking man, in trying to open the window, pinched his finger-nail severely. "Oh!" exclaimed the lady, sympathetically. "How horrid! I always think anything wrong with one's nails sets one's teeth on edge all down one's back!" Two highwaymen, mounted on bicycles, have been sandbagging citizens with much success lately in San Francisco suburbs. They ride up noiselessly, do their work swiftly and escape easily. THE NEW AGE.

Colonel Samuel Adams Drake, the well-known author and historian, has recently died at Kennebunkport, Me. He was the author of twenty-three books, mostly relating to historic events in New England and the middle west, and was considered an authority on United States history. Louise Collier Willcox, furnishing a comment on Mrs. Edith Wharton's lit- erary achievements to the Outlook an- nual book number, gives more of a biographical sketch than has often ap- peared in print. Mrs. Willcox says: “Born in New York in 1862, Mrs. Whar- ton was the granddaughter of Gen. Ebenezer Stevens, of evolutionary fame, and, coming of distinguished par- entage in affluent circumstances, all that careful Instruction, travel, and cultivated surroundings could add to her genius were ready to hand. As one may easily surmise from _ the stories, much of her life has” been spent in Italy, and the bloom of an easy familiarity with great painting and architecture is everywhere dis- cernible upon the work. Like so many people who attain to Individual excel- lence, she was spared the leveling pro- \cess of regular schooling, and was taught by private tutors here and abroad. A very early familiarity with French, German, and Italian gave her the basis for wide reading, and when she came upon Goethe she was more prepared than the average to take to heart his counsels and perfection and reach after a high and effective culture, At any rate, it Is to Goethe above all other literary Influences that Mrs, Wharton feels indebted. She has been at all times a diligent reader of stand- ard fiction, and her taste includes George Eliot, the ethical teacher, no less than Flaubert, the craftsman's master. Balzac, Thackeray, Dickens and Meredith she has re-read so fre quently that she contentedly falls in ar- Tears as far as curreat fiction goes. Her Interest In biology !s great, and in whatever touches upon the history of human thought. In 1885 she married Edward Wharton, of Boston, and four years later began contributing, In the first instance verse, and later stories to Scribner's Magazine, With the publica- tion of ‘The Greater Inclination,’ she |became a force to be reckoned with.” |Of “The House of Mirth,” Mrs. Will- cox remarks that the environment {s lone Mrs. Wharton was particularly nial tadenor CANE-SEAT CHAIRS CONDEMNED. Smooth-Surface “Tourist” Chairs ‘Now Declared Most. Unhealthy. ‘The tourist sleeping car used on the rallroad lines beyond Chicago and St Louls have been spoken of frequently as more sdnitary than the upholstered Pullmans, and, therefore, in addition to their cheapness, a desirable point to most of the sick travelers, they were supposed to be cleaner, for the seats fare covered with cane and have no nooks to harbor dust and germs. Phy- siclans have strongly denounced the up- holstered cara as promoters of the ‘spread of tuberculosis. ‘The railroad ‘peonle have had some tests made to off- ‘set that denunciation with statistics ‘Dr. Charles B. Dudley, the ehiet chem- ist of the Pennsylvania Railroad, has made an investigation of the contents of car upholstery, and has reported to ‘the American Public Health Assocla- ‘ton, Dr. Dudley shows that prolonged ‘exposure to tuberculosis In the air is necessary if travelers are to take the disease from this source of Infection. He says that two days of strong light and five days of diffused light will sterilize the germs. ‘This argument ‘does not seem to show that passengers bound to the West In tourist sleepers with tuberculosis patients may not run Ze risk of infection, especially If they are In delicate health, and prepared to contract the disease. No germs wero ae ean mae the contents of the cars known to have been occupied by passengers suffering from tuberculosis. In ninety-six eee inations of the air found in such care only one test showed the presence of the bacillus. To inform himself as to the relative danger of textile fabrics and smooth surfaces, Dr. Dudley made experiments with several kinds in each, class, and his results go to show that) ldanger from infection from upholstered furniture is much less than from the naked, smooth surfaces. — Brooklyn ‘Eagle.

THE MUSEUM OF ART AND CULTURE NEW YORK 1900 Everywhere in the state the local newspapers report a great preponderance of Republicans in the registration of voters. In most places the Republicans' outnumber the Democrats and those of other politics from two to three to one, and in a good many instances the proportion is even more than three to one, even up as high as ten or twelve to one. There has been some suspicion that a considerable number of Democrats were registering for the primaries as Republicans, with a view of giving the nomination to the weaker Republican candidates, but we think there is not much of a basis for this theory. The truth more likely is that Democrats are in fact comparatively few and far between, for there seems to be no use in particular just now for a Democratic party. It has no policy nor any platform, plan, project or principle upon which it can make any effective appeal to the people, unless it be tariff revision, and as long as the people are prosperous and contented they are not going to worry about the tariff or clamor much for its revision. Some of the Republican leaders of the senate are not in very high favor among the masses of the ppople, who, however, regard President Roosevelt as the real head and a large part of the party, and they have nearly all become Roosevcelt Republicans, and believe that his policies will prevail with congress and the people. Not only so, but a large proportion of the Democrats or those who have been Democrats are also supporters of Roosevelt, and so are at least half Republicans. They say the president is nearly, if not quite, a good enough Democrat for them, and that so long as the Republicans nominate a man like him for president and other men of like stripe for lesser offices they see no use in trying to turn things over and work and vote for Democratic nominees. In fact, most of the Democrats "love Roosevelt for the enemies he has made" in his own party, and so have become to a large extent and for the present Republicans themselves. This state, in November, 1904, gave Roosevelt a majority of over 40,000, in a vote of about 100,000, and in a similar contest next spring we think the majority would be even larger, perhaps 50,000 or more. It does not follow that the Republican candidates for state offices and for members of congress will carry Oregon by so great a majority, for certain Democratic candidates may have strong Republican friends, and there being many Republican contestants for all the principal offices, the nominees may not all receive the united and zealous support of the disappointed ones and their friends, yet it looks as if there were no doubt of the election of all the Republican nominees by large majorities, from 20,000 up, with perhaps two exceptions. Governor Chamberlain, it is admitted, will run considerably ahead of his ticket, but even then he cannot reasonably expect to win, since the Republicans will be far better united than they were four years ago. There is also a disposition among many Republicans to keep Judge Hailey on the supreme bench, as it seems only fair to elect one Democrat out of three to that position, and Judge Hailey, while comparatively young, is recognized as a very competent man for that exalted position. His only opponent, so far as has been announced, is Judge Eakin, of Union county. Eastern Oregon is fairly entitled to this office, and both Judge Hailey and Judge Eakin are Eastern Oregon men. The latter has been on the circuit bench for a number of years, and is highly respected, but there seems to be quite an under current of sentiment even in that part of the state in favor of the younger man, who will have gained a year's experience on the supreme bench. As to other candidates, it would take a tremendous Republican slump to elect any one of them, and there are no signs of such a slump, even in Governor Chamberlain's case. Most Republicans are tired of fighting among themselves; they see what it has resulted in—a Democratic governor, district attorney in this district, sheriff of Multnomah county, mayor of Portland, and, last but not least, United States senator for about 15 months. With these object lessons before them, it is probable that most Republicans will vote pretty straight next June for the April nominees, especially for all the important offices. Some good work in burying factional hatchets has been done, and its result will probably appear in an overhemlming Republican victory all along the line next June. EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO. The manifest inconsistency and injustice of some Southerners—and some Northerners too, for that matter—to the Negro is shown by their concurrent opposition to his exercising the rights and enjoying the privileges of citizenship conferred by the constitution, because he is not mentally and morally fit therefor, and their opposition to his education and enlightenment lest he gets "above the position" and considers himself equal with the whites. On the one hand they say he is of an inferior race that can never come near the white race in intelligence, thrift, morality and ability, and on the other hand they object to giving him a chance for development and improvement and so to see what he could make of himself. If the Negro race is far inferior to the white race in many respects, consider its history for many generations, and its lack of opportunity; its repression and enslavement and degradation. If the white race of this country had a like history behind it, how much better showing would it have made than the Negro race does? And is it sure of its permanent superiority and dominancy? There are evidences that this centient was inhabited long before the Indians were its sole occupants by a highly civilized race of people. What became of them? How do the Greece and Italy and Egypt of today compare with those countries over 2,000 years ago? All history is modern; what happened during the unnumbered ages of which we know nothing? Who knows but there may have been races far superior to the Anglo-Saxon race today? A thousand years is but a brief space of time in this old planet's history. We are not intimating that the Negro race will rise superior in intelligence and power to the caucasian race; if so, it will be very many centuries hence. There will be no occasion for ages to come to fear Negro domination, and this will never occur except through the law of the survival of the fittest. But the better educated the colored race is, or rather the more generally it is educated practically up to a certain point, the better and more useful citizens they will be, and less will they blindly strive for unattainable or improper results. Intolerance is a child of ignorance, and with more intelligence the more tolerant will colored people become of conditions that cannot be helped without recourse to actions that would do far more harm than good. Thomas Dixon's colonization scheme is an impossible one. The Negroes are in this country to stay, and to improve themselves as best they can, and make themselves citizens worthy of confidence and respect. At least that is the advice and purpose of their wisest leaders, who have an increasing number of followers. Education will be a plowshare rather than a sword in their hands, and it must not be denied them. ENCOURAGE INVESTMENT. Responsible, reliable people, with large amounts of money to invest, who are seeking franchises in Portland ought, under proper restrictions THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OBEGON. and on reasonable terms, to be encouraged, and what they desire granted. That is the best way to help develop Portland. The United Railways Co., for instance, that is to spend millions in the Willamette valley, territory immediately tributary to Portland, ought to be let into the city, and along Front or First street, on some terms or other. If its proposition as to a franchise tax is fair, and it seems to be, giving the city power to buy the road at an actual valuation later, the franchise ought to be granted, unless some equally responsible and reliable people make a better proposition. The city as well as the country needs this and other roads, and the way to get them is to deal with the men who have the money to do business to build the roads on fair terms. Or if it be the decided policy of the city to retain the actual ownership of waterfront railways through the city, that fact should be made known and the city authorities should at once and in earnest set about preparing to build, and to accommodate the railroads terminating here. This, however, would require a good deal of time, for a large issue of bonds would be necessary, and that would take legislation and perhaps litigation. probably the better way would be to grant a franchise to the best company and the one offering the best terms, with the privilege on the city's part of taking over the property at a future time. The roads are wanted almost immediately. So with a gas franchise. The people of Portland ought not to be subjected for a single month longer than is necessary to the extortions and poor service of the present gas monopoly. The Chicago council has recently made a contract for 85-cent gas for five years, and Mayor Dunne will probably veto it because he thinks that 60 cents is enough for gas. Portland has now grown large enough to have gas that is gas and not hot air, at a cost of not over 75 or 80 cents, and any responsible company that will give us such gas should be given a franchise on fairly liberal terms. SOME BAD FEATURES. The primary nomination law is on trial, and is likely to prove unsatisfactory to a great number, if not a majority, of voters. One objection is that it requires them to declare their politics in order to vote at the primaries, and restricts such declarations to members of the Republican and Democratic parties. Another is that where there are several candidates of one party for a nomination, the plurality man becomes the nominee, though he may receive only a fourth or less of the party vote, and others who received nearly as large a vote think this is not fair. A third reason is that some of the best and fittest men will not come forward and seek a nomination by petition, thinking it undignified for the man thus to seek the office. Besides, there is a good deal of labor and expense attached to securing a nomination, which most men do not like to incur. And finally, a large town, if its voters choose to be clannish, can secure most of the offices, leaving the sparsly settled counties or precincts, as the case may be, with no voice in the selection. There are other objections, but these are the principal ones urged so far. The initiative law, too, it is discovered, may be the means of presenting needless, foolish or contradictory laws, and working more harm than good. It is a fine theory to put the power directly in the hands of the people, but the proportion of voters registered so far indicates that the people care little about the privilege, and may not always make good use of it. These laws have their merits, practical as well as theoretical; they to some extent knock out the bosses and prevent convention slate making, and are a wholesome restriction on the legislature, but nobody can intelligently claim perfection for them. They will probably stand, however, for some years, at least, and meanwhile may be somewhat improved by amendment. Bithulithic is rapidly becoming the favorite pavement, not only in this city, but in other cities in this and other states. Ample tests have conclusively proven it to be the best all-around pavement to be laid. In fact, it has no real competitor for durability and general merit. It is handled here by the Warren Construction Co., with an office in room 716 of the Oregonian building. It has laid pavements so far in this city on Yamhill, Fifth, Williams avenue, Ford, Ankeny, Marshall, Flanders, Davis, Couch, Irving and several other streets of Portland, and is giving entire satisfaction. It is acknowledged by all competent judges to be be far the best material for pavements for streets, driveways and crosswalks ever invented, and is rapidly taking precedence throughout the country over every other pavement. It is particularly adapted to this climate, and no other should be used hereafter. The very efficient and popular advertising man of the General Electric Co., Mr. Bury Irvin Dasent, has an interesting article in the Pacific Coast Advertiser on "Electrical Publicity," a subject that he knows well how to handle. The General Electric Co. employs only the most competent of men in all its departments, and this applies especially to Mr. Dasent, who not only serves that company with much ability and zeal, but is a favorite with the public. The General Electric Co. furnishes the best and cheapest light to be obtained in this city, and Mr. Dasent is in full charge of its advertising business. He is not only a good business man, but is always affable, pleasant and agreeable with all—just the right man in the right place. The city of Tacoma is enjoying an era of unprecedented prosperity and growth. Its commerce and manufactures are increasing rapidly; its population is growing every week; its business in all lines is thriving, and its real estate values, while moderate, are constantly rising. One of its leading dealers in real estate is the Tacoma Land & Improvement Co., that is entirely reliable and does a very large business, under the able management of its popular secretary and treasurer, Mr. John B. Arkley. Tacoma is a good town in every respect, and is constantly becoming better, and this company is helping to make it so. It still looks as if Dr. Withycombe was far in the lead for the Republican nomination for governor. He is undoubtedly the farmers' choice throughout the state, and will also run well in the cities. He has never been mixed up in any factional squabbles, and has no doubtful record to explain. Johns will be injured by the candidacy of Brown and Rand; Geer has too heavy a mixed load to carry, and the trend of sentiment is unmistakably in favor of Dr. Withycombe, who undoubtedly will be the strongest man to pit against Governor Chamberlain. The current of popular sentiment in different parts of the state appears to be setting strongly in favor of Frank T. Wrightman, of Salem, for the Republican nomination for secretary of state. His excellent and valuable work is being recognized and appreciated, and he ought to, and we believe will, receive the nomination. Mr. Jonathan Bourne is a patriotic citizen; he has added considerably to Uncle Sam's postal receipts. He has received thousands of postal cards, but not from men promising to vote for him for senator.

IF anyone had accused Clinton Calorme of being in love with the little woman he took pleasure in walking with on the sands he would have been very indignant. He was sorry for the poor invalid, and felt he was doing an act of genuine philanthropy in trying to cheer her up. One evening late, as he was smoking in his hammock, he saw the young sister of the subject of his thoughts approaching him. "My sister bade me give you this," she said, placing in his hand a miniature of an old man whom he remembered having been with when he died in India. "She wanted me to ask you if you couldn't come over to the cottage to-night. She's very badly, I am afraid," added the girl sadly. Clinton Calorme followed her. Without any preliminaries the invalid said: "My uncle died in Simla in your arms, Mr. Calorme, and left in your hands a will which you duly forwarded to this country to its proper executors. My uncle was a man of great eccentricity, and that will, while it put me in possession of this entire property, contained a condition that will cause this property to revert to you in the event of my dying unmarried and without natural heirs. In case of my marriage and the failure of natural heirs, the will permits me "ASK YOU TO MAKE ME YOUR WIFE." to make a testamentary disposition of the lands, monies and estates with this singular stipulation, that I have in the meantime become your wife. Loving me he would have wished me to become the wife of an honorable, true-hearted man only, and, believing you to be all this, I have sent for you to-night to ask of you the greatest favor, it seems to me, that woman could ask of man. "In all the world I have no relative or friend, save only my sister Blanche. I took her a wee, helpless babe, from our dying widowed mother's arms, and gave that mother my solemn promise to make the child my sacred care while life lasted. "Only in one way can my last hours on earth be smoothed of the intolerable dread for her future which now oppresses them, and so I have courage to throw myself upon your mercy—to ask you to make me this night your wife, thus giving me the power to provide by will for my sister's future, and then to go far away from here until life shall have ended for me and you are freed from the shadow of a bond that will have existed only in name. It will be for such a little time." He wonders vaguely to himself being so much moved, but with a strong effort gathers his faculties and says slowly, but with great earnestness: "I will do all you ask. It will not be for long, but, please God, this good action shall bear its fruits of righteousness for you." It was a strange betrothal; but marriage there was, and as Clinton Calorme went out at last alone through the dewy, fragrant garden path, a woman's kiss burned upon his lips, and a faint passionate whisper thrilled upon the night air—the strangest of all whispers to come throbbing up from this man's heart, and yet it came softly, reverently and humbly tender, "My wife." Five years passed and Clinton Calorme was still a wanderer over the face of the earth. Once only in all this time he had heard from the woman whose lips he had once kissed in solemn acknowledgment of a vow the letter of which alone had been asked of him, leaving the spirit all unpledged, and that once the Paris physician had written him: "The case is not hopeless." And receiving this he had gone his ways out of civilization into the wilds of Africa and far Arabia until there came a day on which he steadily set his face homeward. At the little unfashionable bathing resort he comes to a halt. It is noonday, but he takes his breakfast, and then walks down the pebbly beach. There are human sights and sounds all about him, but Calorme sees or hears nothing of it until the voice of a woman's quoting, dreamy and low, Barry Cornwall's "The Sea, the Sea, J. M. C. KING CHRISTIAN. After reigning over Denmark for more than fifty years King Christian IX. has passed away. Although this revered and esteemed monarch came to the throne solely by reason of his wife's relationship to King Christian VIII., who died in 1808, he not only transmits the kingdom to his son in a state of serenity and prosperity previously unequaled in its history, but there is such a respect and affection for the sovereign who has just died as will be found manifested for few other monarchs of the day. In his youth he knew what it was to be poor—for a royal personage, that is—and his daughters, two of whom afterward became respectively Empress of Russia and Queen of England, were restricted to such an allowance as made it necessary for them to design and make many of their own dresses. Undoubtedly the discipline of these early years had much to do with the good sense shown by both of these popular consorts of imperial and royal rulers. Since the unhappy seizure of the Schleswig-Holstein duchies by Prussia, in 1804, Denmark has had few external questions to disturb the comfort of its citizens, and the career of King Christian has been one of comparative quiet and ease. Among the domestic problems that have stirred the political cauldron of his realm in late years has been the question of the cession of the Island of St. Thomas, in the West Indies, to the United States. While the proposal to make this transfer of sovereignty has led to no external difficulties, it formed the subject of a long and somewhat harassing domestic controversy in Denmark; but even the home interest died out when the indifference of the United States became apparent. As the father of the Dowager Empress of Russia, the Queen of England and the King of Greece, King Christian may be regarded as having had stronger royal and imperial ties than almost any other monarch of Europe. He will be greatly regretted by his people and by the courts and courtiers of the old world.—Chicago Post. the Open Sea!" cuts through his reverie. It is she—his wife! His lips tell it again to the winds in softest whisper. He sees the sun gleam upon the silver-white crown. He knows that some sweet thought is mirrored in the holy eyes looking seaward. He marks that the white hands are no longer thin and wasted, and that there is a delicate flush creeping from the soft check to the "crimson tippit" ear, and then he walks across the sands, and says: "I am come, Agnace! I had learned to love you from afar before you brought me to you and bound me with a word. To you that night's marriage was only in the name—to me it was the wedding of soul and spirit to the one fair woman of all the world. Will you now, this day, give yourself to me to love, cherish and protect until death shall part us? Can you do it, Agnace?" Then Clinton Calorme kisses once again tenderly and reverently this woman's lips, and there is the religion of a lifetime in the tones of his voice as once more he whispers, as if the words were sacred, "My wife!"—Indianaapolis Sun. FAMOUS OLD POLISH PALACE. FUCHS The old palace shown in the picture is the former residence of the Polish sovereigns at Warsaw. On the balcony of this historic building the last Polish king stood and saw the Russians under Swarrow massacre 30,000 of his countrymen. During the riots in Warsaw the vicinity of the palace has been the scene of several bloody encounters between the revolutionists and the Russian soldiery and much blood has been shed within the shadow of its ancient walls. "Pshaw!" disgustedly exclaimed young Mrs. Mommer. "This is called an unabridged dictionary, but it certainly isn't complete." "What's the matter with it?" demanded her husband, who was dandling the baby. "It doesn't tell me to how to write 'ootsumstootsung.'"—Philadelphia Press.

One of the most strikting of his characteristics was his remarkable memory. Few members of the United Service could have vied with him in familiarity with naval and military annals. In Wellington's despatches he was as much at home as in Tuncydides. He once met the late Commander Maypard at the house of his brother-in-law, Mr. How, when the conversation turned upon a certain naval engagement in the details of which the commander considered himself well posted. What was his surprise to find that the schoolmaster not only knew the name of every ship engaged, but their exact positions during the fight, and was in every way better informed on the subject than he was himself. Another instance of Kennedy's accurate store of knowledge occurred when a certain boy, who had to show up an original copy of verses, was so hard put to it that he searched out a certain rare and obscure classic, copied out a dozen or so lines, and sent them up to the doctor as his own. "Ah, yes," said Kennedy, "beautiful verses! And, if I remember right, they go on thus," and he proceeded to quote the rest of the piece. An amusing anecdote is told of his kindly humor and readiness to forgive. On the first of April a mischievous boy had put the clock forward and caused the bell for morning chapel to be rung an hour too soon. The delinquent was discovered, and much alarmed by an invitation to call on the doctor a little before noon, at the usual place of execution. Swish! But, strange to say, the culprit was untouched. Swish! as before. The boy was still trembling for the third stroke, when there came the words, "Go away, you April fool!"

OUR CHICAGO LETTER February 1, 1906. Mr. Joseph Jackson, of Omaha, Neb., was in the city on a visit. --- Mrs. J. H. Johnson, of 358 East Twenty-seventh street, was elected president of the Garden City club. Mrs. Lewis Gilbert, of 3445 State street, and Mrs. Mitchell, of 3010 Armour avenue, are on the sick list. The colored railroad porters held a meeting in this city for the purpose of organizing a mutual and beneficial organization among themselves. The social and literary entertainment given by Evening Star Court of Daughters of Sphinx at 4850 Dearborn street was a splendid success. The Appamatox club has issued a call for a meeting to take some action relative to the colored people being discriminated against in some of the public institutions of this city. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is the largest and strongest organization among the colored people in Chicago. Among the leading members are Hon. Edward H. Morris, Mr. J. G. Lucas, Mr. Frank W. Rollins, Mr. J. W. Smith, Mr. Henry A. Bartlett. Rev. E. W. Lampton, of Washington, D. C., is in bad repute with the colored people of this city. He is charged with using his influence with Booker T. Washington in trying to get President Roosevelt not to appoint any colored men to office in any of the Southern states. Governor Charles S. Deneen, of the state of Illinois, at a meeting of the National Defense league was severely censured and denounced in the bitterter terms for issuing a requisition to allow them to take a colored man by the name of Mr. Greer out of this state into New Mexico and Texas on a manufactured and trumped-up charge by the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Co. At a meeting of the Illinois state league held here, the following officers were elected; Mr. John J. Jones, Chicago president; Mr. Richard Blue, Bloomington, Ill., first vice-president; Mr. Jesse Hawkins, of Chicago, second vice-president; Mr. J. C. Steele, of Mound City, Ill., third vice-president; Mr. Monroe, of Quincy, Ill., treasurer; Mr. T. D. McFarlane, of Chicago, Ill., grand secretary. Much important business was transacted and the next session will be held in Springfield, Ill., December 31, 1906. Mr. Greer had been injured in a railroad accident on the Rock Island road in New Mexico, and it is reported that the railroad company tried to settle with him, but he refused to, and in order to demand a settlement with him, and it is said suppress testimony that Mr. Greer had in his possession against some other person who was injured by the company, that they secured a requisition from THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON. Governor Deneen and took him to New Mexico and put him in jail, until he signs and settles with them. Governor Deneen had been properly notified in advance about the whole matter, and notwithstanding that, after he had been notified issued a requisition to the company to take him back to New Mexico. personality, made as nu friends as her distinguished hien who graces our city with his twice a year.

Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Griffin, of Portland, Ore., have been the guests during the past week of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Gainey, of 305 sixth avenue South. During their stay in the city Mr. and Mrs. Griffin were the recipients of many attentions. This was Mrs. Griffin's first visit to the Electric City. She has, by her charming personality, made as numerous friends as her distinguished husband, who graces our city with his presence twice a year. One of the pleasant events during the stay of our visitors was an excursion to the big falls in the Missouri river, from which the city takes its name. After viewing the falls and getting a sight of the large smelting plant from which tons of copper are turned out every day; both, while pleased with what they saw, still swore allegiance to the city of Portland, their home. The old-fashioned country dinner, given in honor of the visitors by Mr. and Mrs. John W. Robinson at their cozy little home in Sixth avenue South, was another enjoyable treat. The menu consisted of dishes dear to the hearts of those who once tasted such cooking in the dear old Southland—cooking like mother used to do —and judging by the way those present did justice to the numerous dishes and viands, everything seemed to reach the spot which makes the world seem brighter and bring about that brotherly feeling of love. After the dinner several persons were invited in to meet the guests of honor, and the evening was pleasantly spent listening to instrumental music furnished by the hostess and daughter. The last evening of their stay, Mr. and Mrs. Gainey entertained informally in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Griffin, numerous friends calling to bid God speed and hoping to enjoy another visit from our friends in the near future. J. D. G. BENTON-YAKIMA COUNTIES. Reach Amicable Agreement Over Financial Matters North Yakima—The effort of Yakima and Benton county auditors to get together to adjust differences over county division of finances has resulted in an agreement to leave a point of law to the attorneys of the respective counties, they to submit the same to the attorney general. The point that caused the hitch was over the division of delinquent taxes. Yakima county claimed all these taxes prior to the division, while Benton claimed that portion then applying to lands in that county. Auditor Newcomb represented Yakima and Auditor Gloyd represented Benton county. They agreed on every other point but this one. The basis of settlement will be in the neighborhood of $33,000, not including any part of the delinquent taxes. Benton agreed to assume this part of the bonded and warrant indebtedness of Yakima before the division took place. FINE CATTLE. LOW PRICES. Milch Cows Sell Freely in Whitman County at $15 to $30. Colfax—The demand tor stock and beef cattle seems to be on the increase in this section. Heavy shipments are being made almost daily from Whitman county. A shipment of stock and dairy cattle has just been made to Northport, Waeh., by Larkin & Ellis. One carload of dairy cows and one carload of stock cattle were shipped to Northport, to George Becker, who is starting a dairy. The milch cows were an exceptionally fine lot and were bought at low prices, ranging from $16 to $30. A number of fine milch cows, with calves, were bought for $25 a head. The low price of cattle has discouraged farmers and stockmen and there is a rush to sell off cattle. Those who have range or pasture are equally anxious to buy before prices advance. Larkin & Ellis have shipped two carloads of fat cattle and two carloads of fat hogs to Portland. Heavy shipments of fat hogs and cattle are being made from Whitman county points to Portland Seattle and the mining districts of the Northwest. The consignments of stock from the county during 1905 are believed to be the heaviest in its history. WANT CREAMERY AND CANNERY Cashmere Citizens Promise Profitable Field for Both. Cashmere—The Cashmere Commercial club held an enthusiastic and largely attended meeting last week. Ways and means of aiding the growth of Cashmere and developing the resources of this section of the Wenatchee valley were discussed. It was unanimously agreed that there is a good business opening at Cashmere for a creamery, and also a canning factory. It has been ascertained that the requisite number of dairy cows can easily be secured to place a creamery on a paying basis from the start. There is also a fine field for a canning factory. The fruit and vegetables that go to waste here every year from lack of markets, and fruit that is overripe or otherwise unsuitable for shipment would easily supply a good canning factory. The directors of the club were requested to take up these propositions with a view to interesting capital in them. A resolution was adopted declaring in favor of a county bridge across the Wenatchee river, between Brown's flat and Warner flat, two thickly populated communities coattongues to Cashmere. Iron Ore Found at Addy. Addy—There is considerable excitement here over the recent finding of what is reported to be a large body of good fluxing iron ore. Assays have been made which give good results, and an effort will be made to induce capital to develop the property. I. Zern, a well known mining prospector, has located a deposit of this mineral within 1,500 feet of town, and owing to its proximity to transportation it is expected that it will be developed. Fees in Stevens County. Colville—Fees collected by the three fee officers of Stevens county, as shown by the report of the treasurer, for the month of January, filed with the county auditor, amount to $911.90, divided as follows: Sheriff, $13.70; auditor $565.55; clerk $332.55. Judge Carey of the Superior court, has gone to Spokane to sign up statements of fact in several cases tried by him there some time ago and now on appeal. Millions for State Schools.
