VOL. VII NO.24 CURRENT COMMENT During the Past Week of Met and things—Man Burned at the Stake in Colorado — Notes. Preston Porter, the Negro rapist paid an awful penalty for the horrible crime he committed on the innocent little 10-year-old girl, when he was burned at the stake by an angry mob in Lincoln county, Colo., one day last week. It seems to us that no punishment too severe could have been inflicted on a man guilty of a crime as heinous as that which Porter himself confessed to have committed on an innocent little girl, for rape in itself is enough to tempt any parent to inflict death on a monster who had so mistreated a daughter, but when rape is combined with murder, it becomes almost impossible for any parent to restrain himself from wreaking on any kind of vengeance on so guilty a wretch. However, it seems to us that the men who participated in the burning of Porter at the stake, committed a worse crime against the peace and civilization of the community and state in which they live than even that committed by Porter. It matters not how heinous is the crime committed by man, the laws of our land should be sufficient to punish such evil doers, and, if the laws are not sufficient as they now stand there should be laws enacted that will reach any crime however enormous it is. The governor of the state of Colorado, the sheriff of Lincoln county and all of the citizens who participated in that awful tragedy of burning a man at the stake; are guilty of crime that should be punished by the strong arm of the law of the United States. Porter was guilty confessed it, and deserved death in the most excruciating form, but it should have been done by the law after a fair and impartial trial had been given him. It is rather remarkable that no state in the United States has ever as yet burned a man at the stake unless such state was overwhelmingly Democratic. No state in the North ever before so far forgot the civilized code of its country as to relapse into barbarism sufficiently to permit it to burn a human being at the stake, with the bare exception of Colorado, which was done within the past week. That both Gov. Thomas and the sheriff of Lincoln county are guilty of murder is shown from the very fact that they said ere Porter was taken back to Lincoln county he would be lynched by the angry citizens of that community if taken back, but in spite of that he was taken back, and on last Thursday he was chained to an iron post and burned, the pyre having been lighted and applied by the father of the daughter he so cruelly murdered. The citizens of Denver, Colo., meet at the Y. M. C. A. hall last Sunday in large numbers and denounced in scathing terms the lynching in Lincoln county, proclaiming it to be a blot upon the face of the state, and such a blot as should not go unpunished by the officials of the state. Gov. Thomas spoke at this meeting, and declared that his hands were not guilty of the blood-stained act, and that it rested wholly with the county officials in whose charge and safekeeping the Negro had been entrusted. The resolutions passed by the enraged citizens of Denver, verged almost into riotousness themselves, and it appears that had the sheriff of Lincoln county made his appearance at that time the audience would have torn him to pieces with equal vengeance as did he encourage the mob to destroy Porter. Resolutions were passed denouncing the burning by all the colored churches in Chicago, Ill., and a gigantic petition was signed by both white and black citizens of that state, praying that the president of the United States suggest some law or remedy in his forthcoming annual message whereby perpetrators of such crimes may be punished regardless of the state laws in which they lived. HILL'S NORTHERN PACIFIC Current reports have it that James J. Hill, the great railroad magnate of this country, has gained control of the Northern Pacific system and will operate the same in connection with the Great Northern. If this be true, there will be a great revolution in railroad affairs of the Pacific Northwest, and many changes may be expected. Having learned that Hill had probably gained control of the road a number of Seattle's leading citizens at once conceived the idea that it meant nothing more or less than the overthrow of their rival city, Tacoma, and that most of the works of the Northern Pacific would be cen- The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN tered in Seattle instead of Tacoma. If Mr. Hill has control of the Northern Pacific, it should not be lost sight of that he also has control of vast properties both in Tacoma and Portland, and that it will be his utmost care to see that these properties are properly looked after and nurtured into double their present value. For that reason he will hardly do anything, regardless of his pretended love for Seattle, that will injure either of these cities. But if Mr. Hill has control of the Northern Pacific, as he has of the Great Northern, it will give him a clean and clear swing from Port Townsend to Portland and the entire water front of Puget Sound will be monopolized by this great railroad magnate. WASHINGTON'S EARLY SNOW One of the worst snow storms that has ever prevailed in the Northwest in early November set in last Saturday night and raged all Sunday and Monday. Old settlers claim that nothing of the kind has ever before since they have been in this country prevailed as early as the present blizzard. The storm raged not only in Washington, but all over the Northwest, and an immense amount of damage was done in Montana, Idaho and Eastern Washington, where the wind blew at a terrific rate and an immense amount of snow fell. In Montana the mercury was down to zero, and in Eastern Washington and Idaho it was nearly as bad. The weather, however, moderated early in the week, and Washington has assumed its usual moderate climate. A BUSINESS SESSION According to Senator Aldrich, the closing term of the 56th congress is to be a business session. By this he means that it is to rush matters of an important nature through without tolerating any objections or obstructions on the part of the Democratic party. In some instances it is thought that the Democratic party will approve of many measures, and those measures will be put through practically without opposition. Chief among those that will be urged will be the repeal of the war revenue tax, as the money accumulating from that is now so voluminous as to become a load on the treasury officials. Another measure that will be dealt with at once will be the amendment for the 58th congress from the various states. According to the census reports some of the states will be entitled to at least one more congressman, while others will lose at least one. In this, however, there will be a bitter partisan fight, as the Republicans of the North are inclined to base the apportionment for the Southern states on the number of votes cast, rather than the number of persons that are counted by the census in those states. For an instance, it takes 50,000 votes to elect a congressman in Washington, while it takes but 5,000 in Mississippi, and yet Mississippi is far more populous than Washington. This is accounted for from the fact that at least 100,000 voters in Mississippi have been disfranchised, and yet are counted by the census enumerators, and yet men who disfranchised them are clamoring for extra recognition in congress on account of those very numbers. The Republican side of congress is not disposed to grant any such favor and is inclined to cut down the number of representatives from the South instead of increasing them. This will bring on a bitter partisan fight, which will not be settled before the 57th congress is in session. OUR TWELFTH CENSUS Uncle Sam's twelfth census of the population of the United States is causing quite a bit of comment in the various newspapers and magazines of this country, and the following from the Outlook is very appropriate: "The aggregate population of the United States as fixed by the new census is 76,295,220, as against 63,069,756 ten years ago. The gain is something over 13,000,000, or nearly 21 per cent. There are many interesting developments in the relative growth of states and sections. Thus, New York state still remains much the largest in population, having gained the full 21 per cent, of increase, rising in ten years from 5,997,853 to 7,268,098. Of this gain 75 per cent, is to be credited to New York city alone, while it is worth noting that the present city of New York now contains almost exactly one-twenty-fifth of the total population of the entire country, and has as many people as the four states of California, Colorado, Connecticut and Florida combined; while its populous and prosperous neighbor, the state of New Jersey, has little more than half as many people as the metropolis. Without going into exact figures, it may be added that Pennsylvania and Illinois show rapid growth in population; Ohio has not gained nearly as fast as the two states just mentioned, while Texas, on the other hand, has made enormous gains in population, and has taken Massachusetts' place as sixth in population in the country, the order being New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri, Texas, Massachusetts. Kansas has lost three places in the list of rank of population; Colorado and Washington have grown faster than Maine, while Florida, Washington and Oregon have grown faster proportionately than Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire; Wyoming and Nevada still have less than 100,000 people each, and Nevada is the only state in the country to show an actual decrease in population. Extremely important questions relating to the apportionment of representatives in congress will grow out of this new census. If congress fixes the ratio of apportionment as one congressman for each 200,000 of population, as it will very likely do (instead of one member for each 173,901 of the population as at present), the house will consist of 377 members, and the presidential electoral college of 467 members. It seems to be considered probable that this source will be pursued. If it is, Kansas, Nebraska, Maine and Virginia would lose relatively in their representation, while six states (Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas) would gain two members each, and twelve states one member each. Politically speaking, and basing the conclusion on past elections, this would appear to be favorable in some degree to the Republican strength." THIS YEAR'S WARS The year 1900 is rapidly drawing to a close, and it will go down in history as a great year for wars and national embroglios. England's war with the Boers, Uncle Sam's war with the Philippines and the revolution in Colombia, South America are the most important. The following from an exchange throws some light on the South American war, which few citizens of the United States seem to know much about: News from the South American republics is slow in reaching the United States, and as it often comes alternately from the two opposing political sides, it is not only slow, but unjustworthy. That a revolution has been on going in an Colombia has been known, but the first fully intelligible account of the situation we have seen is that given by the United States minister to Colombia upon his arrival in New York last week. Most readers will be astonished to find that the loss in killed and wounded of the present revolution is estimated to aggregate 30,000. This is not far from the number of killed and wounded generally estimated as the loss of the Filipinos in the conflict with this country, and it is very much larger than the loss on either side in the recent war between the United States and Spain. That such a war on our own side of the Atlantic should have attracted little attention is surprising; the cause is probably in the fact that no great questions of principle are involved in this revolution, which, like most revolutions in the South of America, ambition and the lack of knowledge should be at present the revolution should be. At present the revolutionists in Colombia, although they have gained some important battles, are strategically overmatched by the forces of the government, and Mr. Hart, our minister, thinks that the insurrection will soon be put down. Its leader rejoices in the poetical name of Rafael Uribe Uribe. But, apart from the insurrection, another political crisis exists in Colombia which may readily take the form of a second revolution, if it is not already of that character. The president is Senor Sanchemente; the vice president Senor Marroquin. The president is somewhat old and infirm and has been living at Bogota to recuperate. The vice president promptly took advantage of the situation, assumed all the powers of the presidency, and gained possession of the government buildings. The Marroquin government has been recognized by foreign state departments as the government de facto, the papal see alone declining to do this. Both presidents, by some financial and political arrangement impossible to understand here, are receiving full presidential salaries. Dr. Samuel Burdette, King county's wreckmaster-elect, has incorporated an insurance company which charges an initiation fee of $5. Dr. Burdette has organized companies before in this city, and many of the citizens, both here and elsewhere, have some slight remembrance of those companies.

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1900. Washington's Climatic Observations Washington's Climatic Observations WALK OF HEADERS IN INCHES Map of the state of Washington, showing different counties, Straits of Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound and Columbia, latter forming two-thirds of the southern border between the state and Oregon. The Cascade mountains divide the state from the Pacific Ocean. Puget Sound, Vancouver counties, the markings show the average amount of rainfall for the different and irregular sections—the first, the twotwenty inches annually; single bars, 20 to 40 inches; diamond checks, 40 to 60; fine single bars, 60 to 80; small squares, 80 to 100; the major portion of the adjacent Puget Sound counties, extending south into Mason and Cheahs counties. By noting the signage of the Straits of Juan de Fuca, the immediate coast will be observed, and the constant rapid decrease as the storms advance eastward over the Olympic THE CLIMATE OF WASHINGTON Seattle, Wash., Nov. 20, 1900. The Pacific coast states are possessed of a climate peculiar to the coast, and little understood by people of the East as a rule. Both Oregon and Washington may be said to each have two different climates varying greatly, produced by different causes herein discussed. It is with the climate of the state of Washington, however, with which this article will deal, the data being compiled from government statistics and local observations, being a synopsis of an exhaustive article on the subject written by Prof. W. N. Allen, of Washington state. Truly, a state wherein may be found almost every phase of genial climes—the salubriity of England, tempered by the Japanese current, oceanward, and by eternal snow-capped mountains, landward, with no few and wonderful glaciers lurking at their base; summer sunshine, mingled with warm rains in so-called winter months, points where zero weather never comes, where health conditions are always favorable, and midst scenery unequalled elsewhere in America, Washington—so little understood and so much misunderstood—is entitled to general study and better acquaintance. Of its wonderful scenery more anon. Its climate is of primal importance. A well-known United States weather bureau official, H. F. Alciatore, has well said: "For equability and mildness of climate, absence of either very hot or very cold waves, and freedom from destructive tornadoes or cyclones Washington stands foremost among the favored states of the American Union." The climate of Washington is much more equable than that of other states situated in corresponding latitudes. The daily and seasonal range of temperature which so greatly affects climate everywhere is not great in this state. The mean temperature for the month of January, which is usually the coldest month in the year, is 35.2 degrees. This is the average of the mean January temperature for ten years, taken at stations distributed throughout the entire state. A similar average for July, usually the hottest month, gives 64.6 degrees. These averages cannot be far from the true or normal temperature for January and July. The difference between these is 29.4 degrees, the seasonal range. A comparison of the difference between the winter and summer temperature in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Wisconsin or Michigan, all of which lie in the same latitude as Washington, with the seasonal change in this state will show that it is comparatively low. To this fact may be attributed the entire absence of sudden changes or violent disturbances of the atmosphere within the state. The average of these two extremes, the temperature of January and July, gives a little less than 30 degrees for the mean annual temperature of the state. This is however, about one degree above the true or normal temperature. The daily range, or the difference between the daily maximum and minimum temperatures, is likewise comparatively low throughout the year. The climate of Washington is free from extreme variations of heat or cold. The highest temperature of the summer months gradually lowers to the lowest of the winter months. The change is almost imperceptible, especially west of the Cascade mountains, where the flowers bloom and the grass is green all the year. This equability of climate or this range in the daily and seasona change of temperature is due chiefly to the influence of the ocean, the direction of the prevailing winds, and the relative position and direction of the mountain ranges. The Cascade mountains divide the state into two sections, which differ as much in climatic conditions as in topographical aspects. The mean annual temperature of the whole of the Columbia river basin (Eastern Washington), deduced from official reports from fourteen stations well distributed over the basin, is 42.25 degrees. The station has a mean annual temperature of 54.7 degrees, the highest in the state. The mean for July is 76.3 degrees; that for January 34.3 degrees, over 2 degrees above freezing point. The Chinook wind, which is a pretty Indian name given to the warm moist winds from the Pacific ocean, cross the ocean freighted with the delightful odors of tropical climes. They enter the state near the mouth of the Columbia river and follow the course of the valley its entire length, even to Idaho, Montana, and sometimes as far cast as the Dakotas. They are always welcomed. With them comes spring, warm sunshine, beautiful flowers and pleasant weather. In summer these winds from the ocean are cooler than the surface of the valley, hence they have a refreshing influence upon all forms of life. They are, in fact, that part of the general atmospheric circulation known as the prevailing westerlies. They are the rain-bearers of Washington. In fact all winds from the southern points of the compass are likely to cause rain. The annual rainfall in Eastern Washington is 14.66 inches. This is the average of sixteen stations well distributed throughout the basin. As compared with the average rainfall in the state it is much less than one-half. The rainfall at Walla Walla is 17.43 inches. One of the most interesting features of the rainfall of a country is the time in which it occurs. The annual rainfall may be sufficiently great to supply all the requirements of agriculture, yet the distribution in time be such as to render agriculture impossible. It is well known that little rain at the right time is of greater service than much rain at other times. The rainfall in Eastern Washington is well distributed in this respect. An inspection of the monthly reports shows that July and August are the dryest months, and that there is a gradual increase from September to January, when precipitation is greatest. From January to July there is a gradual decrease. This might seem to be the reverse of what should be for agricultural purposes. It would be in corn-growing regions, or places where crops grow in summer and mature in autumn. The Columbia river basin is a district best suited to the growth of small grain and grasses. This is due to the peculiarity of its soil and climate. Grain is sown in the autumn, about the time the rains begin. It remains in the ground during the period of greatest precipitation, which is usually in the form of snow; matures and ripens with the decreasing rainfall of spring and early summer, and is harvested and threshed during the dryest part of the year. This kind of distribution of rainfall is certainly of great value to the agriculturalist. It does not necessitate the storing of grain or hay, either before or after it has been threshed. Hundreds of thousands of bushels of grain may be seen sacked in the harvest field during the summer months, or wait ment, with nothing over it save the clear blue sky. There is another fact which should not be omitted in the consideration of the climate of this district and that is the character of its soil Much depends upon it both from a climatic and agricultural standpoint If it be loose, sandy and porous, the solar heat and rain penetrate it to a great depth, and are retained longer than if it were compact, cleey and hard. The soil in the agricultural sections of the Columbia river basin is mostly of a loose, volcanic ash, which receives a large quantity of heat and moisture readily, and retains them for a comparatively long time. Eastern Washington is a land of sunny rather than of cloudy weather. The state for the year 1898 averaged 138 clear, 114 partially cloudy and 113 cloudy days. The greatest number of clear days was 206, at Ellensburg. The greatest number of rainy days was 33, at Sunnyside. The least number of cloudy days was 18, at Fort Simcoe. The maximum clear sky prevailed in the Yakima valley, the real sunny side of Washington. This valley ranges in elevation from 330 feet at Kennewick to 1,700 feet near Ellensburg. The prevailing winds are from the mountains. They are dry, salubrious, rarely high, although the valley proper is treeless. The snowfall in Eastern Washington ton averaged 30 inches for the year 1898. This is somewhat less than the true or normal. It fell mostly during the months of November and December. This afforded the winter wheat, meadows and pastures good protection during the coldest part of the year. Western Washington. This section is noted for the mildness and equability of its climate. The temperature of the air over the ocean between the parallels of 45 and 50 degrees north remains sensibly the same through the year. The prevailing winds, both in winter and summer, are from the ocean, from off the Japan current, which flows southward just off the coast. These winds are comparatively warm during the winter and retard the lowering of the mercury. During the summer they have the opposite effect. They are comparatively cool and prevent very high temperature. Besides the close proximity to the ocean proper, there are at least 2,000 square miles of water surface within the confines of this part of the state. This great arm of the ocean, commonly known as Puget Sound, stretches far to the south, and extends numerous projections inland in almost every direction. Twice a day the ebb and flow of the tide, the coming and going of the water from and to the sea, cause an interchange of air from sea to land, and from land to sea again. All of these influences tend to equalize the temperature and maintain the equilibrium. The second great influence in the climate of Western Washington is the relative direction of the mountains to the course of the prevailing winds. The Cascade range extends north and south and forms the eastern border. This range is sufficiently high to intercept the cold Walla Walla or east winds which, as a result, move down the Columbia river basin. The Olympic range from the mouth of the Columbia river to the Stratis of Juan de Fuca, forms the western border. The variation of heat or the rising and falling of the mercury in the thermometer is not as great west as east of the Cascade mountains. The seasonal range or the difference be tween the January and July mean temperature is only 22.85 degrees west of the mountains. On the east side the difference is 41.3 degrees, or nearly twice as much. The mean annual temperature in Western Washington is 50.37 degrees. This a fraction over two degrees higher than in Eastern Washington. The mean temperature for January, the coldest part of the year, is 38.85 degrees. This is 6.85 degrees above freezing point. This means that Jack Frost does not visit the Sound country often, that the streams are not obstructed by him and are open for navigation during the winter. The grass is green and flowers bloom the year around out of doors. The mean temperature for July, the hottest month, is 61.7 degrees. This is 7.6 degrees less than the mean temperature for the same month east of the mountains. Western Washington borders upon the largest of oceans, and has an interior water surface of over 2,000 square miles. Its low mountains are upon the west and windward side. The Cascades form the eastern boundary. A large per cent. of the "lows" enter the United States from the west and pass eastward through Washington. Such are the general climatic conditions of this section. They are conducive to much rainfall. The quantity, however, is not uniform as to distribution. It varies according to local conditions. The average annual rainfall of the Pacific slope (along the immediate coast) is 91.75 inches, the greatest average of any district within the United States, if not in all North America. The area of the slope is comparatively small, however, containing only about 6 per cent. of the total area of the state. At Clearwater, a station near the coast and about midway between Grays Harbor and Cape Flattery, occurs the greatest annual rainfall in the state, 132.92 inches. This means an average of about eleven feet yearly or about eleven inches per month. The chief reason for this great rainfall at Clearwater is found in the fact that immediately back of Clearwater is the highest and most compact portion of the Olympic range. The slope is abrupt. The difference between the temperature of sea-level and the summits of the mountains is great. The moist winds from the ocean move landward. They strike the snow-covered mountains, which cause condensation and precipitation in great profusion. The two stations of Clearwater and Port Townsend are not far apart, yet the difference in the annual fall amounts to 110.40 inches, or over nine feet. Clearwater is on the rainy side, while Port Townsend is on the sheltered side of the Olympic mountains. From Clearwater northward there is a decrease in the rainfall, also in the altitude of the mountains back of the stations. At Lapush the fall is 85.79 inches. Much of the moisture passes over toward the northeast before falling as rain. There is a gradual decrease in the fall of rain from Cape Flattery eastward along the south shore of the Straits of Juan de Fuca to Port Pownsend. At Neah bay, just inside the cape, the fall is 109.32 inches. At Pysht it is 68.28 inches. Further east, at Port Angeles, it is 29.64 inches, while at Port Townsend, the eastern extremity of the strait upon the south side, it is only 21.69 inches. This means a decrease of 87.68 inches in about as many miles. A comparison between the rainfall at Port Townsend with that at stations east or northeast, such as Blaine, New Whateom, Sedro and Snohomish shows a decided increase. The average of the above named places is 43.18 inches, or nearly twice as much as at Port Townsend. The Puget Sound basin lies between the Olympic and Cascade ranges. This section is much larger than the narrow belt along the Pacific coast. It extends north and south through the entire width of the state and far up the mountain slopes upon either side. In the north central part of this basin is situated Puget Sound and most of the large cities of Western Washington. The mean annual rainfall, taken at ten stations in this district, is 47.95 inches. These stations are quite equally distributed from Blaine, near the northern line, to La Center, in Clarke county on the southern border. In elevation they range from 15 to 300 feet above sea level. The length of their records extends from one to twenty years. The average, then, cannot be far from the true normal. Chehalis has a rainfall of only 18.43 inches, while Ashford, some distance northeast, has an average of 71.74 inches. Ashford has an altitude of 1,775 feet and is situated on the western slope of the Cascade (Continued on page 2) LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS POINTED PARAGRAPHS Touching on Science, Industry and Mechanical Improvements--Scientific American Roasted A pipe line built to carry Caspian petroleum to the sea is 142 miles long. Heretofore the petroleum has been carried to its destination by trains, which has proved rather too expensive. Hence the new pipe line. Soda water fountains, an American institution, are slowly but surely being introduced into English drug stores. During the past summer a chemist shop in Birmingham sold nigh as 1,000 drinks a day. The physicians of that city made strenuous objections to the use of the icy drinks; nevertheless they were continued to be sold. The annual report at the convention of the progress of the United States National Museum for the year ending June 30, 1898, was very encouraging to the promoters of the institution. There were 450,000 different specimens brought in during the fiscal year. The total number of specimens up to July 1, 1898, exceeded 4,000,000,000. Since 1881, 3,972,987 persons have visited the museum. Coffee-growing in tropical Africa, which is a recent innovation in that country, has developed into a most lucrative as well as profitable business. Though only five years ago since the first seeds were taken there, 100 tons were sent out by the dealers during the past season. The coffee produced there is said to be a superior quality, even surpassing the famous Mocha. The demand for it at present is much greater than the supply. Each year the Russian minister of finance fixes the amount of sugar which shall be produced in the empire and the price at which it is to be sold. The average domestic consumption is about 1,000,000,000 pounds, and that is the legal amount allowed upon the market by the government. In addition to that amount 180,000,000 pounds are produced and put in storage in case of accidents. An excise tax of 2 1-2 cents per pound is charged by the government on the annual allowance. if this does not supply the market, the reserve is let out without tax, and if the reserve does not supply the market, then the government buys the necessary amount from foreign governments, and this is also let out to the people without an excise tax. The government of Russia has twice made outside purchases within the past ten years. Up to December 31, 1899, there were 190,833 miles of railroad completed in the United States. Of that 186,590 miles are reported as traffic-learning. Upon this trackage were carried about 538,000,000 passengers and 978,000,000 tons of freight. The total traffic revenue was $1,336,000,000; the operating expenses were $888,000,000, leaving the net earnings $418,000,000, which with $66,000,000 other receipts brings the total revenue to $153,879,443. There are 37,245 beomotives, 34,000 passenger and baggage cars and 1,328,000 freight cars. "A telegraph line has been completed between Seattle, Washington, and Skagway, Alaska."—Scientific American, issue Nov. 3, 1900. If the above statement is a sample of the American's accuracy in its reports of all scientific matters, then it is a complete imposition on the people of this country, who absolutely depend upon it for correct scientific reports and information. There is no telegraph line between Seattle, Washington, and Skagway, Alaska, and none even in construction, and as near to a telegraph line between the two points mentioned as is actual fact is a favorable recommendation that the United States government lay a cable line between Seattle and Skagway at an early date by a recent army officer, which report, it is thought by many, will be favorably acted upon by the Washington City authorities. In the future the Scientific American should know that the news it publishes is questionably true in every detail for it is yellow journalism to jump at conclusions as absolute facts, and a weekly journal like the Scientific American should be the very last kind of a paper to give out such conclusions as facts. POLITICAL POT-PIE In last week's Republican the Piemaker declared that Tom Humes and his friends in King county were personally responsible for the defeat of Senator Frank for the governorship of this state. To prove what was said in that issue to be a fact beyond a reasonable doubt, the official count of King county is hereby referred to. While the most of the Republican county nominees got a 800 majority at the polls, Mr. Lamping and Dr. Hoye, respectively candidates for county auditor and coroner, and Humes men, received 2,250 majority, showing that Humes' followers knifed the balance of the ticket and voted for these men only, which very votes, if they had been cast for Frink, would have elected him governor of the state. It is no trick at all to see who defeated Frink for governor, and one of these days Mayor Humes and his friends will have to talk this matter all over again. The election returns from Eastern Washington show that the voters of that section of the state are strongly in favor of railroad legislation. That kind of railroad legislation that will reduce the freight rates between Eastern Washington and the Puget Sound country. In other words, and to put it more plainly, the voters of Eastern Washington want cheaper rates for both freight and passengers from all parts of this state. It is one of the principles of this country to submit to the will of the majority. Now, if the majority of the voters of the Eastern part of the state desire cheap rates the Piemaker is of the opinion, and verily does believe, that they should have it, and hopes that the incoming legislature will take up this matter as soon as it convenes and is organized. The Republican party of Washington need expect no favors from the railroads, or the railroad politicians, for when the candidate suits them, whether he is Republican, Democrat or Pop, they forthwith use all of their exertions to elect such candidate. In substantiation of this thought Ben Grosscup, the politician of the Northern Pacific, who professes to be a most ardent Republican and who has affiliated with that party for many years, deliberately turned or the nominee of the Republican party for governor in the late campaign and unquestionably defeated him and for no other reason than because he knew that he could not handle him if elected. In times past Gov. Rogers had manipulated things to the interest of the railroad company and to the detriment of the farmers of Eastern Washington, and this pleased well the railroad politician, and so he became a party to his re-election. Now that Groscup has defeated the Republican party, he certainly should not expect any legislation in favor of the railroad corporation for which he is working, and, if he wants any, let him get it from Gov. Rogers, whom he has elected at the expense of the Republican party. That Gov. Rogers will veto any legislation in that direction goes without saying, nevertheless the Republican legislature will have put the Republican party on record as being the party that is willing to give the farmers a fair deal, and by that means it will be go to before the voters two years from now and elect a full Republican roster of officials in every county because they will have clean records. Bobby Albertson, according to reports, has seen the handwriting on the wall in the speakership contest and has practically thrown up the sponge. The most of the politicians of this city agreed with the Pie-maker in last week's issue as to Bob's fitness for the place, and in some instances, even men in the Humes camp declared to the Pie-maker that it would be a public calamity for such a man as R. B. Albertson to be elected speaker of the house. He will possibly get three votes out of the entire delegation from King county, and not over a baker's dozen from the entire state—and he does not deserve that many. The tinhorn, Ben Grosscup politicians have already begun to figure on the Federal positions of this state, and, it is said, that Senator Foster and Congressman Cushman will seriously clash over the Federal patronage before the next presidential administration is many months old. They came very near doing so in this administration. One of the chief things that the next legislature of this state will have to settle will be the congressional districting of the state. The 12th census reports a population that will undoubtedly give one additional congressman to the state of Washington, and this done, some provisions for HOUSES AND LOTS FOR SALE AND TO LET WHALLEY & EASTMAN PHONE MAIN 611 5-6 COLMAN BLD. their being elected from districts will have to be devised, though they could be elected from the state at large as at present. In discussing this matter with a prominent politician one day this week, it was suggested by him that all Eastern Washington be one district, and Western Washington be divided into two as follows: King county and the northwest counties in one and Pierce and the southwest counties in another. But by all means he insisted King and Pierce counties should be separated and never put in the same district. These two counties are eternally in a political scrap with each other, and should they be placed in the same congressional district there is no doubt but that they would soon disrupt the Republican party over their rival jealousies, so that Democrats would be elected. When W. J. Meredith was made chief of the police it was virtually the same as electing the private secretary of Frank Monroe, the notorious tenderloiter, or the bouncer of the Clancy brothers, to the office. For years it has been known that Meredith was in close political touch with Monroe, and since he has been connected with the police force he has done his bidding in every particular. Now that he has been made chief of the police it is very apparent that Monroe and his friends will receive special police protection from Chief Meredith. Monroe will be chief in fact, rather than Meredith. To place these men at the head of the police department is one of the disgraces of the Humes administration, and it blandly shows its true disregard for public decency, so far as the affairs of this city are concerned. Mayor Humes and his new chief may not run Seattle as a complete resort, but it will be so near if that it will take an expert to determine the difference, and it will be no fault of theirs if they do not. When King county gets another opportunity to elect a governor of this state, a United States senator or a congressman it will be a cold day. Two years ago King county could have elected a United States senator had it not been so blindly tied to one Tom Humes, whose candidacy was being fostered by Ankeny's barrel, that her representatives preferred to go down in defeat rather than see a King county man elected to the United States senate and they lose their wad. A united effort was made by the King county delegation at the last state convention to get the governorship nomination for their county, and after much political parleying it was conceded to King county and one of King county's best citizens named for the honor, whereupon King county did not do a thing to him at the polls and he was defeated for the place. Now, the balance of the state of Washington is laughing in their sleeves at the folly of the politicians of King county, and they boldly assert that it will be a good many years before King county will get another candidate at the hands of said convention for the citizens of King county themselves to defeat. Madam Rumor has it that Mayor Tom Humes has seen the handwriting on the wall as to his future political success in this county, and that he has determined upon becoming a fusion candidate for mayor of this city. That is to say, the will he will be supported by the tenderloiners, the Democrats and thugs in general. Whether or not these men will be able to land him remains to be seen. Nevertheless he will meet a strong opposition among the better class of citizens of this city, and never again will he be elected by the Republican party, for either that or any other political office. It is said that J. T. Ronald, the late Democratic candidate for congress, feels his defeat more keenly than any of the other Democrats who were his associates. Ronald believed himself very popular, his Missouri ancestry to the contrary notwithstanding, and he felt absolutely certain that he would be elected, even if the balance of the ticket went down in defeat; but Ronald is given 0. talking through his hat, and he talked through it to perfection in the last campaign. Candidates for the speakership of the next house of representatives of this state are becoming rather numerous. Since the announcement of the two candidates from King county has been made news from Olympia has come to the effect that Hon. A. J. Falknor, who was a member of the legislature two years ago, and who was re-elected in November, will Lee's Pharmacy Cor. Second ave. and Columbia st. $600 Buys a sixy-forty lot on high ground, with a good view; graded street; cement walks; all paid for; near the cars; good neighborhood. John Davis & Co. 709 Second Avenue be a candidate for the speakership at the coming session of the legislature. He made a splendid fight for the state capitol appropriation, and when it was vetoed by the governor he made a splendid fight against odds to have the legislature pass the measure over the governor's veto, but in this he failed. He was also instrumental in having many important measures passed by the legislature of which he was a member, and stands par excellence in political circles throughout this state. If circumstances are not against Mr. Falknor, he will be a very formidable candidate for the coming speakership of the seventh legislature. Spokane also has a candidate for the speakership of the coming legislature in the person of Hon. Harry Rosenhaupt, and he, too, was a member of the last legislature, and in most instances worked in perfect harmony with Mr. Falknor. Both of them were strong Wilson men and used every effort within their powers to land Mr. Wilson in the United States senate. Mr. Rosenhaupt made many friends among the members of the members of the last legislature, and he must have pleased well his constituents, as the official report from his district in Spokane county shows that he was elected by a very large majority. Rumor has it that there will still be others to enter this speakership contest and will go to Olympia prepared to do all kinds of trading from a political standpoint that would tend toward landing them in the much-coveted chair. The northwest will have a candidate, and so will the southwest, but unless the speakership should come to King county, it is likely to go to some county in Eastern Washington, as that section of the state has not gotten its necessary pro rata of the state officers in the last official make-up. Denny-Coryell Co., 716 First ave The political "quid nunc" declare that some of the King county officers-elect have promised twice as many persons places in their offices as there are places to fill, and that when they shall have been installed into office they will be sorely perplexed as to which one of the many that they have promised positions to place as their deputies. Promising every man that declares he has halt a dozen votes in his vest pocket which he can turn your way if you will give him a clerkship is very bad business, and when a few more politicians will have met ignominious defeat, as did some in this state in the late campaign, men nominated for official positions will learn to promise nothing, but simply say to all, their applications will be considered along with others, but whoever is employed in the office will be employed on account of their fitness for the position they seek instead of the political pull that they declare they have. The Pie-maker learns indirectly that Senator Frink thinks that the Walla Walla banker was true to the Republican party in the late campaign. Perhaps he was ,and perhaps he was not, and a large percentage of the voters believe that he was not. Grant that Mr. Ankeny, like George Piper was true at the eleventh hour; it was too late for him to undo the harm that he had already done. Some idea of the rapidity of the growth in population of this state can be gained from the vote it has cast since 1854, when its citizens first voted. Here are the figures: Years— Votes. 1854 1,682 1869 5,373 1870 6,182 1872 7,801 1874 8,594 1876 9,907 1878 12,647 1880 15,823 1882 19,498 1884* 41,842 1886* 47,230 1888 46,353 1889 58,543 1890 54,803 1892 89,897 1894 74,243 1896 93,583 1898 76,194 1900** 100,000 The growth of the state from year to year has simply been maraculous, and for the next decade it promises to even surpass these figures. If the thirteenth census does not give Washington five members of congress instead of three we will be greatly surprised. As she has grown in population, so has she grown in wealth and industries.

To The Republican we will say this paper does not rely on its "political pull" for an existence. Can The Republican truthfully say as much? It is a well-known fact that The Republican is the mouthpiece of Wilson and his henchmen, and in its columns they vent their spleen against every one who is for clean politics and true Republican principles. No respectable paper would permit its columns to be used for such despicable purposes. Reform, Cayton, reform! and don't sow any more discord in the Republican ranks.—Auburn Argus.

Standard Furniture Co. 1012-14-16 FIRST AVE. PERSONAL Mr. C. E. Mitchell, well known in Seattle and Tacoma, according to the New Age, of Portland, is dangerously ill in one of the hospitals of that city. Mr. Fred Lawrence, who has been a resident of this city for a number of years, died at his home last Saturday evening, and was buried from the A. M. E. church last Tuesday. Mr. Lawrence was one of the pillars of the A. M. E. church, and has been one of the foremost Afro-Americans of this city. He leaves a wife and one daughter to mourn his loss. Mr. J. E. Hawkins mourns the loss of his father, who died in St. Louis last Saturday. Mr. Hawkins is one of this city's leading attorneys and his father ranked among the best citizens of St. Louis, where he had lived for many years. The present year is rapidly drawing to a close and if you are indebted to The Republican it would consider it a favor if you would call and pay before the year closes. If you owe it, this means you. Feathers flying so rapidly about a room that the friction therefrom caused spontaneous combustion is reported from a New York bed factory of a recent date. The ball to be given Thanksgiving evening at Ranke hall by the Clover Leaf Club will be the sweltest affair of the season. If you have an invitation you should be there. A letter was received at this office one day this week from Mr. C. T. Cooper, bearing date of Oct. 15th 1900. Mr. Cooper formerly lived in this city, and went north some two years ago. He is now located in Chinook, Alaska, which is 200 miles north of Nome. Mr. Cooper writes that both he and his wife are in good health and are doing exceedingly well from a financial standpoint. They have gotten hold of some valuable mining claims, and Mr. Cooper is working on them this winter, while Mrs. Cooper with two other ladies, is running a laundry and doing exceedingly well. From the bearer of the letter it was learned that the claim adjoining the one that Mr. Cooper has a fractional interest in is very rich, and already quite an amount of gold has been taken out of it, and he thinks that Charley Cooper will come out of Alaska worth up in the thousands of dollars in the course of one or two years. THANKSGIVING DAY SER VICE. The Jones street A. M. E. church will hold a Thanksgiving day service and serve regular dinner at the church at the close of the services. Preaching by the pastor will begin at 11 o'clock and close at 12 o'clock sharp. There will be a literary programme in the evening, beginning at 8 o'clock, and the chief features of this programme will be "Lynch Law in the South." The principal speakear of the evening will be Rev. C. C. Holford, and he will be followed by others on the same subject. Music and recitations will be interspersed throughout the programme. The Rev. Holford extends a cordial invitation to all to come and listen to the exercises. AN OLD FRIEND "Ole Olson" is like an old friend who has been tried and not found wanting. This really superior comedy probably has more admirers than any other American play. Its friends here are legion, and they will doubtless prove loyal, too, when "Ole" appears at the Third Avenue theater next week, opening with a special Sunday matinee. Not only has the play been rewritten for this season's production, but the special- ties are all entirely new and numerous, it is said. The singing of the National Swedish Ladies' Quarrette will no doubt be a most enjoyable feature of the performance. A special matinee will be given Thanks giving day. The next offering at the Seattle theater for three nights, commencing Sunday, November 25th, will be that really clever farce "My Friend from India," presented by the original Myron B. Rice company, headed by Miss May Vokes, who created the part of Tilly, the German maid, in the initial performance at the Bijou theater, in New York City, and played by her more than 1,000 times since. From the pen of H. A. Du Souchet, whose name is familiar to dramatic critics, "My Friend From India" serves to demonstrate that there are men in this country who can write farces equal in humor to the best of contemperaneous French skits, and so clean and unobjectionable that it is not necessary to deodorize them before they are dispensed to an audience. The company surrounding Miss Vokes is exceptionally good, and includes Walter Colligan, Lute Vrohn, Sidney Lee, Lewis Peters, Millard Simpson, William T. Gann, Frank Hall, Oscar Luckstone, Rose Tapley, West Temple, Emma Chase and Emma Colville. A musical director is carried by the company for the correct interpretation of the music for the many vaudeville features. "A Day and a Night" is the pertinent title of Chas. II. Hoyt's latest comedy success, and which is said by many to be his most ambitious effort. It tells a story of the amusing and highly exciting adventures of a country church deacon during a day and a night in New York city in search of singers for his church choir. Many hilarious complications result during his visit, which are made the most of by a strong and competent company of fareurs. The curtain rises on the first act and C discloses a, bare stage, which is immediately "set" in full view of the audience. The musical programme is an extensive one, and includes many new and popular songs and medleys which are introduced at opportune intervals. The action throughout the three acts is brisk and spirited, and the fun is not allowed to flag during the play. "A Day and a Night" comes to the Grand Opera House next Sunday afternoon to releven performances. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT, KING County, Washington. In the matter of the estate of Joseph M.
