Seattle Republican

Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN MATT W. COBURN VOL. X. NO. 44 [Name] LEW C. SMITH, Candidate for Sheriff. [Name] HON. JOHN D. ATKINSON, Draws First Gubernatorial Blood. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1904 Hon. John D. Atkinson is to the front in the gubernatorial fight with first blood, he having won Chelan county over Governor McBride by a most decided majority. The decisive victory won by Mr. Atkinson in Chelan will bring him support from adjoining counties, and that will give him strength throughout Eastern Washington. There is no denying the fact that John D. Atkinson is the decided choice of a great majority of the voters of King county, and unless he is traded out for selfish and sinister motives, he will receive the 115 delegates from King county for governor. There is no reason why, under such circumstances, he should not be nominated, and if he is not nominated there are those in King county who will regret it. Thurston county has been won, as was predicted by the Seattle Republican last week, by C. J. Lord. Mr. Lord's victory in Thurston county does not mean anything, so far as his gubernatorial candidacy is concerned, further than that it gives the faction with which he trains in the county the local control of politics. Mr. Lord's friends, it is predicted, will withdraw his name from the contest at an early stage of the game, and his strength will go to John D. Atkinson. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 JBLICAN 1904 PRICE FIVE CENTS [Name not provided] MATT H. GORMLEY, Candidate for County Treasurer. [Name not visible in the image] JAMES M. BREWSTER, Candidate for County Clerk. Tacoma voted for municipal officials last Tuesday, and as a result that city will for the next two years be ruled by a Democratic mayor and Republican minor officials. The council will be Republican by a majority of one. The election of George P. Wright for mayor closes one of the hottest political scraps that was ever waged in this state in any municipal, county or state fight. The primary fight to defeat Campbell for renomination was waged along such lines as to make it impossible for either Campbell or Fawcett to have won, which ever was successful in the conveitnon. Campbell won out in the convention and, as was freely predicted all over the state, lost out at the polls. The defeat of Campbell is charged up to S. A. Perkins and B. S. Grosscup of the Northern Pacific, which will give that county to Governor McBride in the state fight, which will follow the city election by only a few days. Mr. Wright won over Mr. Campbell by a plurality of 661 votes, while the balance of the Republican ticket was elected by pluralities ranging from 1000 to 2000. * * * The Seattle Lighting Company, which is but a merger of the old gas companies that have been in Seattle for the past few years, has reduced the price of gas to $1.25 per thousand, which is all the Citizens Light & Power Company ever promised to do, and it is extending its mains to all parts of the city and Ballard as well. The company promises to further reduce the price of gas until it reaches the dollar mark and everybody in Seattle knows that when J. W. Clise and his associates in the new gas concern give their words to do a thing they will keep it, and within the next six months perhaps, the gas consumers of this city will be getting gas supplied to them at one dollar per thousand. If one company will give the consumers of gas a living rate there is no excuse for another company coming into the field. One company inclined to do the right thing will be in a position to give the citizens better and cheaper accommodations than can two companies think of doing and this is just exactly why two companies are not so advantageous to the consumers as one good and reliable company. After all, the citizens of Seattle are the real losers that there are two telephone companies in the city instead of one good one, and every business man will bear out the statement. One street railway company is giving Seattle better and cheaper service than could four competitive ones. One of a kind of all such enterprises properly safeguarded is far superior as to price and service than a number of them. * * * MATT. H. GORMLEY. The Seattle Republican at this time wishes to edorse Captain Matt. H. Gormly, whose candidacy for county treasurer has already been announced, and in doing so, it feels quite safe in saying, no aspirant, at this time or any other time for a county office is more worthy of the honor than he. Captain Gormley is one of those commensense everyday American citizens, without frocks or frills, and can be approached by the low as well as the high. In short by anyone having business with him, which is the kind of man that always succeeds in this country. That public person who can not be approached and consulted by his fellow men without an over supply of ceremony being taken on is one, who, sooner or later, will be driven from public life. Two years as city treasurer of Seattle brought no changes in the general demeanor of Capt. Cormley, and four years as county treasurer, this paper predicts, will see no material change in the man, and especially in "swell- ing his head", as vulgarly used in street parlance. He has been a resident of Seattle for a number of years, and during all that time the man is not to be found who will accuse him of being guilty of any act deserving of public criticism. Unlike most of the offices in King county there are but two candidates for the treasurership, and the indications point strongly to Captain Gormley being nominated by a most overwhelming majority. Not that his opponent is unworthy, but because Mr. Gormley is exceedingly popular throughout the city, and likewise county. The south district looks with much favor on his nomination, as does the north district, and it can be said without fear of successful contradiction, that 75 per cent of the delegates from the city to the county convention will be for him and will brook no interference on the part of any candidate for higher or lower positions in their desire to cast their votes for him. He is the candidate of no clique or faction, and yet he is strongly endorsed by the Young Men's Republican Club, and likewise by the south district, which itself almost assures his nomination * * * L. C. SMITH. Some three weeks ago this paper published among the list of candidates for sheriff the picture and the name of L. C. Smith as a receptive candidate for the nomination, which was to say, if conditions favored, Mr. Smith would be a candidate for the position, and, if they did not, he would not be. Conditions have favored him and his candidacy was officially announced last Saturday morning in the "Post-Intelligencer". The Seattle Republican was in doubt whether it would be L. C. Smith or Dr. C. E. Hoye that would receive the endorsement of the south district for the nomination of sheriff, but now the south district having settled the doubt and endorsed Mr. Smith he will have a solid delegation from that section. Commissioner P. J. Smith, of the North district, who for a while was likewise a receptive candidate for the nomination of sheriff, having also endorsed L. C. Smith's candidacy, it is quite evident that he will come to the county convention having practically every country delegate supporting him. This will not nominate him, but it will give him the strongest following of any candidate seeking the nomination, and if his managers, who, by the way, are among the shrewdest politicians of the state, use any strategy whatever they will find it dead easy to manipulate enough votes in the city on a trade to land their man on either the first or second ballot. Without exaggeration The Republican can truthfully say that Lew Smith is one man of King county that, if nominated for sheriff, will get the Republican vote, not only in his own district, but in every other district in this county. He is not only popular as a convention candidate, but popular as a vote getter, and will, if nominated, be a tower of strength to the Republican ticket. No man mentioned in this connection, with the bare exception of Dr. C. E. Hoye, who has withdrawn from the race since his announcement, could harmonize all elements of the Republican party so well as he, and the Republicans in convention assembled would make no mistake in giving him a unanimous nomination. * * * I. M. BREWSTER Candidates for clerk of the superior court are exceedingly numerous this year and, be it said to their credit, that each and every one of them is worthy of the honor he seeks. The convention would make no mistake if it blindly reached out and selected a man from the number and named him for the place. None, however, are more deserving of the honor than J. M. Brewster, and this can be verified if one will take the trouble to consult the various attorneys at the bar of this county as to their personal opinions of him in that connection. The Republican can truthfully say that no man mentioned in this connection has been paid as many compliments by the members of the bar of this county as Mr. Brewster, and in view of the fact that the office of county clerk is one in which the bar, the judges, and the jurors are the most concerned it is but natural that their opinions be given a greater consideration than any other class of citizens or professional men. When there are a number of candidates for one certain position, and one appears to be leading the others, it seems to be an unwritten law that those lagging behind combine to defeat the one ahead. If this cannot be done fairly they do it anyhow. This, perhaps, accounts for the stories that have been circulated about Mr. Brewster having been at one time a Populist, which he denies and pronounces an unqualified falsehood. "I have never voted on national issues anything but a Republican ticket. In other words, I have never voted any other but a Republican ticket on general principles. I may have at some time voted for individuals on other tickets, but have never renounced the Republican party, and any reports to the contrary are fabrications hatched up by some opposing candidate," came from Mr. Brewster one day this week. For other candidates to circulate such reports shows that they feel their own cause to be in desperate straits, and they cry out "thief" at the other fellow in order to attract attention to themselves. Mr. Brewster will go into the next county convention with a strong following, and his friends believe that he will be nominated on a second ballot. He has been a resident of this city for a number of years and he would make an ideal man for the office. POLITICAL The Seventh ward fight for representative is now between Lewis, Guie and Vilas with the odds at this time seemingly in no one's favor. Its tobe a fight to a finish. * * * C. E. Vilas has announced his candidacy from the Seventh ward as representative from the forty-fifth representative district. Mr. Vilas is one of the cleanest men in politics that has been mentioned. * * * Councilman Frank P. Mullen is quite sick at Providence hospital, but he is improving and it is hoped will be sufficiently strong to be in the fight the latter part of the month. * * * Hon. G. W. Jeffries is still being persuaded by the Piles forces, but he and his friends declare they will beat Todd by a good round vote. Jeff has the boys to do it and they will stay by him. J. W. McConnaughey has opened up political headquarters in the Washington block, which means he will give his opponents a merry chase for the office of sheriff. That the political plot is thickening every day is plain to be seen and the outcome in King county at this time is the wildest speculation. Mayor Charles E. Coon of Port Townsend, is out for the lieutenant-governorship and says he will have the support of the Northwest. Col. W. M. Ridpath says he is not disturbed by the flying ppolitical rumors. He is simply moving on in the even tenor of his way. * * * John E. Humphries is still very much in the race for governor and will not lay down until forced to by the county convention. "It would be to King county's advantage to have a governor. It would aid her in getting a United States senator", says Mr. Humphries. The Seattle Republican Established May, 1894. H. R.

Even Mayor Campbelle does not now deny that for once Tacoma got Wright. "Dollar gas" in spite of the combination is promised by the new Seattle Lighting Company. That's the stuff. If Willie Hearst is not the real owner of the Seattle Daily Times, why did Editor Montebank slop all over in denying it? If the police would run that Scotty Ferguson into the bay instead of out of town the proper thing would be done. Foreigners coming to this country do not go South, as the South to them smacks too largely of a land of savages. Congratulations are in order for the "Seattle News-Letter" Easter edition. It was a journalistic beauty and a thing of art. It is claimed that the colored folk of Virginia own one-fifth of all the personal and real property of the state. This they have accumulated since the emancipation. Candidate Bryan has lost the $50,000 Bennett will money, which may force him to go after the Democratic nomination again for advertising purposes. Unexpectedly to himself Charlie Heifner, chairman of the Democratic central comas a result, John W. Godwin instead of himself is at the political wheel. He who has a neighbor who is a handsome woman with a dashing pair of dazzling eyes, find it no very great amount of trouble to "love his neighbor as himself". Love is not only a mental disease, but it is a moral and a physical one as well. It is a disease however that the human family has no serious fears or objection to. Attorney Robinson and client Carrau are expected to go to Morrow, or some day soon to Bastilic quarters for disobeying the orders of Judge Hanford. Cuba, like San Domingo, seems to be a candidate for Uncle Sam baptism in the Stars and Stripes. San Domingo is already on the mourner's bench. While Manager Twitchell is laying wires to defeat Jeffries of the Thirty-fifth representative district, the other fellows are laying wires to defeat him at the polls next November. Hearst, the latest Democratic rip-snorter, seeking his party's presidential nomination for advertising purposes only, lost the New York delegation which practically "cooks his goose". Japan, it is claimed, desires a new religion. If there is "nothing new under the sun" how does she expect something that is not? It is perhaps a different religion that she is desirous of having. Russia has a good and sufficient reason for not having an exhibit at St. Louis Exposition this year. She is at present too badly crippled from the effects of an encounter with Japan to go on exhibition. If George Stevenson's purported interview with Governor McBride was a deliberate lie why did B. S. Grosscup threaten to kill him on sight while talking to Crocker at long distance last Thursday evening? Preliminary work for Seattle's first skyscraper was begun last Monday, and before snow flies it will be well on to completion. Step by step does Seattle get nearer to being a great metropolis. Seattle seems to have one Semple thing to do if she wants the government canal—muzzle that old sinner trying to peddle off a canal "gold brick" to congress as the real thing. Professor Booker T. Washington was recently elected an honorary member of the Institute of Arts and Sciences of Brooklyn, New York, which is one of the most notable organizations of its kind in this country. To meet a college friend matriculating to ten years' term in the state penitentiary, where the other friend is holding a position of honor and trust, must be a sad sad meeting and one that is sufficiently pathetic to wring blood from a heart of even a stone. With the bubonic plague almost an epidemic in California it must be a most inviting health resort for invalids from other states as it advertises. It's health, however, seems to rely on one's immediate death soon after arriving there. Edgar L. Hampton has for a period retired from the "Mail-Herald", and will tour the East in the interim. Evidently he is one weekly newspaper man who has "got there Eli", from a financial standpoint, and that too while running his paper. Osculating Hobson, it is said, stands a fair show of going to congress, and no one will for a moment doubt but that it is "Hobson's choice". It will be a change for Alabama, and any change must be an improvement. Recently sixty-six students graduated from the Mehara Medical College, Nashville, Tenn. This school is ostensibly for colored folk, and within the past few years has turned out a large number of medical students. It is on record that there has been invented a musical instrument which gives forth a note that when it strikes the tympanium of the mosquito ear, it produces the instant death of that loud sounding, severely biting insect. Now, if some ingenious inventor would only strike the proper note to similarly affect the tympanium of the flea ear, what a volley of relieved sighs would be forthcoming from the annoyed public. --- Gorman, the Maryland montebank, has withdrawn from the Democratic presidential nomination race. Gorman found out that not even Northern Democrats would stand for a Southern savage being their presidential standard bearer. Having inspected the plumbing and general sanitary condition of the school building in San Francisco the board of health reports a startling state of affairs and possibly twenty-five of them will be condemned and closed. It would be nothing amiss to give the Seattle schools a like inspection. Dainty Japanese lanterns are usurping candle shades on the American dinner table. Japanese teagowns, smoking jackets, Japanese table decorations, in fact almost anything suggestive of the far East is the present craze, but then it is not surprising, we "kinder" expected it. William Kerns, who had just united in holy matrimony to Miss Eva Janney of Colfax, escorted her to his ranch near Ellerton whereupon a sign of small-pox appeared at the entrance of the premises. This mode of spending the honeymoon, even if a wee bit selfish, is quite unique. "When thieves fall out honest men get their due." Senator Burton says there are others in the senate guilty of the same offense of which he was recently convicted, and threatens to expose them all. If he has any interest in this government he will not hesitate to do so. "Skim Milk for Hens", is a caption under which a strong article explaining why skim milk is good for hens, was found in an exchange one day last week. If that writer had lived in Seattle instead of in the country on a farm he would soon have discovered that skim milk is for the people instead of the hens. In explanation as to why the colored men are rushing to this state to take up homesteads and thereby form a colony in Eastern Washington, recent political developments point to the fact that, there is a strong probability of a Coon being the next Lieutenant Governor of the state, and they are trying to get in on the ground floor. From Montgomery, Alabama, comes a report of a strange incident. One A. J. Dent prayed God to paralyze him if he ever took morphine again. A few days later he took a doze and was immediately struck dumb. Whether it was simply a coincident of occurrences or not, there will doubtless be a little more thoughtful care regarding the nature of the supplications offered up from that portion of Alabama for some time to come. Queen Alexandra recently paid a visit to the Alexandra Trust, an institution founded on her plan to give the poor of London the cheapest possible kind of food without savoring of charity. The Queen and her party paid the usual price, nine cents apiece for their dinner, and had soup, lamb, potatoes, a large helping of plum pudding, a glass of water, and a mug of coffee. The Queen, it is said, seemed to enjoy the meal and it must be admitted, for the price, she certainly got her money's worth. Kensington and Rogers-Peet Clothing NOTHING BETTER W. B.

SEATTLE BREWING 8 MALTING, CO. Seven Days' Current Comment and Observation WHITE SAVAGES. That the Anglo-Saxons of the North may realize the kind of brethren they have in the South, who like Vardaman, preach the inability of the Negro of becoming a useful citizen of this country, we reproduce an article clipped from the Congressional Record, which was read by the clerk of the House at the instigation of Mr. Crumpacker. There is no record of savages in any age being as brutal or heartless. You of the North can hardly believe that your Southern brethren would be guilty of such, but they are. Yes they are not only guilty of this but numerous acts equally as fiendish. They are guilty also of promiscuously raping colored women and girls and of boasting of it as though they had done the commands of their God. In short as will be seen from the article below which originally comes from a Southern journal, they are nothing short of a howling aggregation of savage barbarians. THE BRUTAL WHITE. Not long ago Governor Vardaman succeeded in preventing the lynching of a Negro in Mississippi. But there was a lynching in that State that for fiendish brutality has not yet been surpassed, even when the victims have been roasted at the stake. It occurred at Doddsville recently, and these are the circumstances as related by local newspapers: Luther Holbert, a Negro, had a quarrel with a white man, and, following the usual Mississippi method, they exchanged shots, the Negro escaping and the white man being killed. The Negro, knowing the penalty for killing a white man in that section, fled, of course accompanied by his wife, who had had no part in the quarrel. They were captured by the mob, and this is what was done to them according to the statement of an eye witness in the Vicksburg Herald: "When the two Negroes were captured they were tied to trees, and while the funeral pyres were being prepared they were forced to suffer the most fiendish tortures. The blacks were forced to hold out their hands while one finger at a time was chopped off. The fingers were distributed as souvenirs. The ears of the murders were cut off. Holbert was severely beaten, his skull was fractured, and one of his eyes, knocked out with a stick, hung by a shred from the socket. Neither the man nor woman begged for mercy nor made a groan or plea. When the executioners came forward to lop off fingers, Holbert extended his hand without being asked. The most excruciating form of punishment consisted in the use of a large cork-screw in the hands of one of the mob. The instrument was bored into the flesh of the man and the woman in the arms, legs and body and then pulled out, the spirals tearing out big pieces of raw, quivering flesh every time it was withdrawn." After these tortures the mutilated bodies were burned. Had this Negro outraged a white woman? Oh, no; he had merely killed a white man who was shooting at him. His wife had committed no crime, but simply fled with her husband. Yet she was made to share his fate and with him to suffer the most cruel and brutal tortures the devilish ingenuity of the degraded savages could devise. The Vicksburg Herald truly says: "If there is any hell, and if it is the abode of devils, they must have turned green with envy of the genius of their brethren on earth." "White men," the members of this mob call themselves. They were brutal, coward- ly curs who are a disgrace to civilization, a dishonor to the human race. These miserable savages doubtless regard themselves as respectable citizens in their community. Perhaps they are. Then what a community it must be! To think of any State in the Union in this twentieth century containing a community of white men capable of producing such brutes, such barbarians, such savages as these. The red Indians, whom we disposs of this country, in all the bloody history of cruelty and torture, were never guilty of more savage cruelty than this. The Negroes, in their most bestial state of voodooism, could be guilty of nothing more savage and brutal. The white man is given to much boasting, but in many instances he is but a thinly veneered savage who shows his capacity and his disposition to descend rapidly to the depths. But for the restraining influence of organized society and the law this class of whites would soon descend to savagery. The conduct of mobs shows this. The more frequent the mob the more brutal becomes its conduct, the more savage its excesses, the nearer the general approach to anarchy and barbarism. It would seem that even men of dull and muddy minds, men who have no high thoughts or worthy conceptions, who read little and think less, could see this and appreciate the fact that in observance of the law lies safety for individuals and for society. The mob feeds upon its own brutal instincts. Yesterday it sought only to hang Negro ravishers of white women, and oragnized society, moved by intensity of sentiment rather than guided by clear, cold judgment, rather winked at it. Today the mob multilates, dismembers, hacks to pieces, bores into their bodies with corkscrews, and burns the bodies of Negroes for offenses which, in some cases do not amount to a misdemeanor. In this instance the Negro man had killed a white man in a fight, and the Negro woman had done nothing except to stand or to flee with her husband. It is high time for thoughtful, decent people to ask: Where is this thing to end? The Southwestern Christian Advocate, published at New Orleans, says of this latest exhibition of unrestrained savagery in Mississippi: "We believe firmly that the Vardaman gubernatorial canvass is at the bottom of this heart-sickening affair. Mr. Vardaman wanted to be governor, and in order to attain his wish he went in to convince his fellow-citizens that the Negro is, if anything at all, less than human. Many who heard him were too glad to have him say it. They turned from the speaker convinced that the Negro is unworthy of consideration, and has no rights which they need respect." Governor Vardaman can not escape the terrible responsibility for his utterances. He may be sincere in his views. So also were the New England witch burners. Vardaman took an easy method of popularizing his candidacy for governor among the cheap whites by inflaming them against the Negro, and this was made easier by Roosevelt's action in the Indianola postoffice affair. Vardaman as governor will find it difficult to suppress mobs which he encouraged as a candidate, and which he still encourages as a mouthing politician. It is such men as he, mere surface skimmers of logic, who deeply stir the brutal passions which find expression in such sickening and savage conduct as that of the Doddsville horror.—Nashville American. POINTED PARAGRAPHS "Why the Rich Steal from the Shops", reads a headline in an Eastern paper. Some few cannot help it owing to a curious condition of the mind, but the general answer might be—to get something for nothing. Dr. Dubuisson, a famous brain physician of France, has given that disease, heretofore known as kleptomania, the new fangled appellation of magasinitis. This term, however, will hardly be broad enough to reach the lower classes, and taking things not your own with them will remain just plain stealing. The railway officials have been complaining for years on account of the traveling public appropriating the paraphernalia of the cars, but, when the three hundred members of the Filipino tribes were en route to St. Louis, the proverbial exception confronted them. The semi-civilized natives not only refrained from, appropriating, but when the car became well heated, began to divest themselves of their own raiment, which they threw from the car windows. This continued until on some there remained articles of clothing—not one! "The Iroquois" is the name of a new publication issued by C. A. Hughes, who is located in St. Paul, Minn. Mr. Hughes was formerly a resident of this state, and gained quite a bit of notoriety while doing business in Spokane. In his salutatory he announces that, it is his debut in the field of journalism. After one has read the first page and turned to the second, and there finds the editor's picture and biographical sketch, there is no doubt of the truthfulness of his statement. "The Iroquois" will be Democratic in politics. A recent American writer, in resenting an opinion that Russia is deserving of more sympathy than Japan because she is a Christian nation fighting against a heathen nation said: "The Christian world regards the nation that supports great prisons in Siberia, and butchers the Jewish people because they are a hated race, as Christian only in form." Great is the wonder that his pen did not stick, as it were, to the paper upon which he wrote. Either he does not believe his own statement or he has misrepresented the United States government. Is Russia a single iota more cruel and barbarous to the Jews than the United States is to the Negro? The president and faculty of the State Normal School at Walla Walla, have decided, and so announced, that their students would not hereafter be allowed to attend Sunday amusements and disobedience to this regulation would be grounds for expulsion, inasmuch as a taste for such things is out of keeping with those principles for which the institution stands. The step is a good one, and it is to the welfare of the school that it looks after its reputation along those lines. In Life's school how many whose rearing and education have been all that could have been desired and yet they have acquired a taste, to express it but mildly, very different from mother's. The holder of a matured Endowment Policy in the Equitable Society, says: "Twenty years ago, when I took out my Endowment Policy, the premium looked to me like this: $47.68 while the Endowment, looked at from a distance of twenty years, appeared like this: $1.000 Now, my policy has matured, and coming just when I need money, the result of my policy looks like this: $1,467.25 While looking back, and realizing that they are amounts thai would have been saved in no other way, this is the appearance the premiums have: $47.68 THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES 120 Broadway, New York A.

Afro-American Pioneer Dead eer | (oo : a | THE LATE GEORGE H. GROSE. In the death of George H. Grose Seattle loses another of her pioneers as well as one of her energetic citi- zens. When but a child he came with his parents to Seattle, where he has continuously resided for the past thir- ty years. During that time he has seen marvelous changes come over Seattle—its growth from a mere coun- try village to a great metropolis, and during all that time he has been a familiar figure among her cosmopoli- tan citizenship. Old timers as well as new timers knew George Grose, as he always kept pace with his surround- ings. He died last Saturday evening aes 10c on the ae 4 WE BOUGHT A = LOAD OF RAKES | HOES and FORKS That were in a Railroad Wreck ON SALE MONDAY Spee & fucbut / Second and Union after a lingering illness, which he contracted some ten months ago. George H. Grose was educated in the public schools of this city, and was associated first with his father in busi- ness when but a boy. His father, Wil- liam Grose, who died some five years ago, being the pioneer Afro-American business man in the Northwest. Young Grose began business for himself be- fore the fire in Seattle, and “Grose’s Commission House” did a flourishing business for a number of years, at the head of which was G. H. Grose. Clos- ing that business out he in connection with* his father devoted his time to fruit and berry culture at the Grose homestead near Madison and Twenty- third avenue. He was subsequently employed in the county treasurer's office under Byron Phelps for two terms, and when Mr. Phelps became mayor of Seattle he was instrumental in having Mr. Grose named as city poundmaster, which position he held for a number of years. He gave up that business to become a partner in the ownership of the Seattle Republi can. Feeling himself, however, not adapted to the newspaper business, he retired therefrom in a few months, but in the meantime he had made ap- pliation to enter the United States custom service, and through the in- fluence of Dr. A. P. Mitten, deputy customs collector for this port, he was almost immediately assigned to duty. About that time the government assay office was being born in Seattle, and friends induced Superintendent Fred A. Wing to name him as day watch- man, which position he held for one year. After leaving that he devoted his time to the buying and selling of real estate and the winding up of his father’s estate. He subsequently ac- cepted a position with the Ralston Health Food Company as traveling salesman, which he held until his health forced him some ten months ago to come home for a vacation, with the hope of sufficiently regaining his health by September to begin work again. At that date he did begin work but found himself unable to continue, and immediately came home again on- ly to grow slowly but surely worse until he died. Mr. Grose was twice married.
