Seattle Republican

Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1905 THE SENATORIAL SITUATION each day and early in next week it is predicted he will have at least TWENTY-FIVE votes, coming almost from every county and section of the State, and a vote that will stand by him like a STONE WALL. His "cold storage" votes will be gradually called in, and unless the unexpected happens he will soon be in a position to make a most effective combine with one or the other of the present leading candidates. The Wilson sentiment about Olympia seems very favorable. Notwithstanding the fact that the legislature has been balloting for a United States senator since last Tuesday, no one, judging from the votes case for the respective aspirants, can possibly forecast the final outcome. Since the first day's skirmish no material change has been shown in the vote of either candidate and yet Foster, Piles and Wilson have each gained a vote. If the past senatorial contests in this state can be taken as a criterion the present one will be long drawn out and considerable factional differences may spring up before it is settled. After carefully observing the senatorial contest we are prepared to say, had King County used half the energy and none of the money in pushing the senatorial candidacy of John L. Wilson as she has on the candidacy of Sam H. Piles, her candidate would have either been elected by this time, or he would be the leading candidate in the fight. There is no doubt even at this late date that, if the King County delegation would go to Wilson next Monday, he would be elected next Tuesday. Mr. Piles has many warm friends who want to see him senator, and he is to be congratulated for the friends he has made and held, but personal friends are not legislative friends, and it's the latter he needs to make him senator. His prospects of getting 35 more votes are not very bright. Wilson has 25 votes and King County's vote would give him 50, and using words of a prominent Whitman County physician, "Wilson would not be twenty-four hours getting enough votes to assure his election after King County went to him." Mr. Piles is a King County favorite and he has earned that enviable place in the hearts of his fellow countrymen by proving himself a man among men—a gentleman, a scholar and a politician. He is true and tried and they hate to see him defeated for this high honor, and it's no wonder they stick to him. "Wilson," again quoting from the Whitman County physician, "is the only man that can unite Eastern and Western Washington." Leaving King County out of the question he is more than twice as strong as Piles, but whether he is strong enough to be elected is for the honorable members of the legislature from King County to decide. It is the concensus of opinion among the lobby politicians that Senator Foster has reached high water mark. Had he received 50 odd votes on the first ballot he might have successfully worked the "band wagon" tactics, but that is now impossible for the forces of the other candidates are of the "stand pat" kind so far as Foster is concerned and any change in his vote must and will be a decline. Sam Piles has THIRTY-FOUR votes, and barring unforeseen combinations, it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that he, too, has reached his limit in positive voting strength. Not only reached his limit, but it is believed he has five borrowed votes. He, however, has twenty-nine votes who will stay with him, and, if properly managed, may win before the session closes, but the politicians of the lobby say, "The odds are very much against it." While Charles Sweeny is third man in the race, there is no doubt but that if he would call in his "cold storage vote" he would be high second. Sweeny is going to inherit a great deal of Foster's strength sooner or later, which will increase his vote to what Foster's now is, and perhaps even greater. The Foster forces may agree to stay together for an indefinite period, but the number that agrees to that will be fewer than the number now voting for him. John L. Wilson, the fourth man in the race, it is generally admitted by the lobby, holds a most enviable position in the fight. He is no county's candidate, but the State of Washington's candidate for United States senator. His vote is growing VOL. XI.

Since mish no material change has been shown candidate and yet Foster, Piles and Will a vote. If the past senatorial contests in this as a criterion the present one will be long-siderable factional differences may sprinkle. It is the concensus of opinion among that Senator Foster has reached high water received 50 odd votes on the first ballot he fully worked the "band wagon" tactics possible for the forces of the other candidate pat" kind so far as Foster is concerned a vote must and will be a decline. Sam Piles has THIRTY-FOUR votes seen combinations, it can be said without contradiction that he, too, has reached his ing strength. Not only reached his limit has five borrowed votes.

While Charles Sweeny is third man no doubt but that if he would call in his he would be high second. Sweeny is good deal of Foster's strength sooner or later his vote to what Foster's now is, and p The Foster forces may agree to stay together, but the number that agrees to the number now voting for him. John L. Wilson, the fourth man in the admitted by the lobby, holds a most enviable fight. He is no county's candidate, but the ton's candidate for United States senator POLITICAL POT=PIE To hear with their own ears the exact results of the first ballot for United States senator as cast by the respective members of the legislature always has and always will attract the world and his family to the state capital. Until Thursdays Olympia was full and overflowing with men interested in the game of politics to listen to and watch the first bout between Foster, Piles, Wilson and Sweeney for the senatorship. The politicians seem to think, if they can but hear the men cast their votes, they can form some idea of how strongly the candidate is favored by the voter. Prior to the first voting all manner of speculation is indulged in and after the first ballot is cast the speculative period seems to have just reached the initiatory period. * * * In noting the results of the first ballot the Pie-maker does so more for record than for news. Last Tuesday at high noon both branches voted separately and the vote was as follows: Addison G. Foster, 43; Samuel H. Piles, 32; John L. Wilson, 15; Charles Sweeney, 27; S. G. Cosgrove, 6; W. L. Jones, 6. The first joint ballot for senator was taken Wednesday at noon, which resulted as follows: Foster, 44; Piles, 33; Wilson, 15; Sweeney, 27. --- In discussing the senatorial situation last Saturday the Tacoma Forum pitted Charles Sweeney against Jacob Furth and pronounced them the real candidates for the senatorship. The Forum was lead to make such a prognostication from no other reason than because each of those gentlemen have large bank accounts and, if ever pitted against each other, the political plum would go to the highest and best bidder. For the information of the Tacoma publication the Republican is prepared to announce, and announce without fear of successful contradiction, that Jacob Furth, under the present circumstances, is not a candidate. If the conditions should arise whereby he would enter the contest he would not be found among those who open a "barrell" with which to buy their election. Mr. Furth is too shrewd a business man to jump into the senatorial contest on what he and everybody knows to be a false alarm and on that spend his money "like unto a fool at a frolic" just to satisfy a few political grafters. "When I get King county and 45 outside votes then, and rot until then, will I become a candidate," are words reported to have come from Mr. Furth. A well known politician stood looking intently at the Hon. Samuel G. Cosgrove and the Hon. H. D. Crow, who were intently talking to each other over the election of to the national capital; he watched the men so eagerly that a bystander inquired of him why he was so deeply interested in the two LIBRARY PRICE FIVE CENTS EQUATION Any in next week it is predicted he will have Y-FIVE votes, coming almost from every state of the State, and a vote that will stand by WALL. His "cold storage" votes will be absent, and unless the unexpected happens he will be able to make a most effective combine with one of the present leading candidates. The Wilson Olympia seems very favorable. By observing the senatorial contest we are head King County used half the energy and pushing the senatorial candidacy of John has on the candidacy of Sam H. Piles, her have either been elected by this time, or he candidate in the fight. There is no doubt that, if the King County delegation would Monday, he would be elected next Tuesday. My warm friends who want to see him senator, gratulated for the friends he has made and friends are not legislative friends, and it’s to make him senator. His prospects of get- are not very bright. Wilson has 25 votes his vote would give him 50, and using words Whitman County physician, "Wilson would hours getting enough votes to assure his County went to him." Mr. Piles is a King and he has earned that enviable place in the new countrymen by proving himself a man tleman, a scholar and a politician. He is they hate to see him defeated for this high wonder they stick to him. "Wilson," again Whitman County physician, "is the only man western and Western Washington." Leaving of the question he is more than twice as strong after he is strong enough to be elected is for the loss of the legislature from King County to men. The observer seemed to have been struck with the contrast of the heads of the men. Mr. Cosgrove's was bare and bald, while Mr. Crow's was white and shaggy. "Well, you remember both Cosgrove and Crow attended school with Vice President-elect Fairbanks, which thing both of them take pleasure in telling to their friends, and I was just thinking of what a peculiar effect their earlier associations with Fairbanks had on their hair," replied the politician. * * * Senator George Baker is one member of the legislature that has a very little to say to the passing throng, who come to Olympia, "just to see," and he has but little to say to even the employes of the senate, but when he does want something somebody had better get busy. One day this week he met one of the committee clerks, who was standing on the floor of the senate looking wise as well as pretty, and needing something he asked Mr. Clerk to get it for him, but Mr. Clerk did not know Senator Baker and curtly replied, "I did not come to Olympia to work; I do that at home." Baker was not many seconds breaking his silence and it so unnerved Mr. Clerk that he got busy then and there and every time since then that he sees Baker coming his way he begins to pick up papers on desks, straighten books or do anything to appear at work. That little incident probably accounts for the senate refusing to raise the salaries of the various em- Continued on Page Four The Seattle Republican Established May, 189 H. R.

The Printers' Combine, which has secured the contract for doing the printing for the legislature, is systematically taking from the state thousands of dollars, for which she does not get value received. The price the state is paying for the printing to the combine could be cut 50 per cent and then a handsome profit would be realized from the work. Unless the legislature makes arrangements to buy a plant and have it run as are her other institutions at least $50,000 a year will be filched from the state treasury over and above the actual cost of the work which it does, and a fair profit thereon by the printing combine which now has its clutches about the financial throat of the state. So bold in its nefarious plot to rob the state and persons having printing to be done, that the printers trust is seeking to control the paper houses of the Northwest and thereby prevent them from selling stock to any but trust printers. There was promised some opposition to the trust at Olympia to control the state printing, which trust is paying at least a hundred dollars per day rental for the plant it is operating, but the trust saw to it that that opposition did not materialize and it is said that that too cost it a large sum of money and that sum the state will have to pay in the way of overcharge. Let the members of the Ninth Legislature give this matter their careful consideration, and, if they do, the state will own her own printing plant and she will save more than 50 per cent of the amount she is now paying for the same work and at the same time get much better results. The United States district attorney's attention should be called to the printers' trust in this state, and if it were, it is not doubted but that something would be doing pretty soon thereafter. ANOTHER LOCAL OPTION LAW A nw local option law will be pushed in the present legislature. Such measure, it will be remembered, run the gauntlet of both branches of the legislature two years ago and was vetoed by the acting governor for selfish reasons. The measure will come up again soon and those working for it believe they have sufficient strength to again pass it. The governor declared he was not inclined to veto measures that come to him for signing after they had been carefully considered by the members, hence it is not expected the measure will be vetoed this time as it was two years ago. Local option gives to any community the right to exclude saloons and drink houses if they so desire and on the whole the measure is a bit popular. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN For the Wayward Child. When there is a report of a wayward son or daughter leaving home and the heartbroken parents have to appeal to the police for his or her arrest and detention, as recently occurred with a girl of Centralia, the general public feels much compassion for the parents, but those who feel the deepest are they who have children of their own. None can doubt the wisdom of the Great Father in veiling the future from us. Could we so freely give up those hours of rest to tend their wants, could we so wilingly sacrifice in hundreds of ways that the world never sees, if we knew ingratitude awaited us, and that so soon as riper years came we would be deserted by our babies, larger grown, but for that—our babies. A Bell That Must Not Ring. How we delight in talking about the "dear old days down on the farm." It is enough to make the average citizen, city bread and born, green with envy to hear us tell of how we caught the horses, rode them home from the pasture, fed the chickens, slopped the pigs, salted the sheep and such things as pertain to country life, but, as in the case of many West Seattle citizens, let a cow or so with a bell aroundher neck, just like those mother used to buy, pass our house a few mornings and we would hastily send a great protest to the city council. Such an actual reminder of rural life would be beyond our utmost endurance. A Fire Risk Ruse. After all, how humanity seeks to hide evil designs under covers apparently justifiable! The labor unions wish to keep the Japanese out of the lumber and shingle mills, and so have discovered that the presence of the Japanese make the fire risks greater. 'Risks from actual violence or possible incendiarism are growing rapidly,' claim those who would dislodge the Orientals, "and the insurance companies refuse to insure the mills where these people work." The truth of the matter is, there are but few companies which insure saw mills and shingle mills at all. If the white laborers object to the Japanese because they are Japanese, why not say so, and let the fire risk ruse alone. Mrs. Newly Wed. A school for brides is to be established in Philadelphia. Well, the right step is being taken, for how so many newly married men retain the healthful condition of their stomachs while wifey dear tries to solve the mysteries of cooking, which her mother ought to have taught her years ago, is more than is at first sight apparent. The Unkindest Cut. Wead, the watchman, who was recently fired from the assay office for not being able to attend to his own business and let other people's alone, had among his complaints against the authorities for dismissing him a special grievance which made him most sore. One employe at the assay office had been promoted over him because, though a Negro, he had a brother who was a lawyer. The charge was denied by the management but that, 'though a Negro,' was the knife which stuck Wead the deepest. FRIDAY. JANUARY 20. 1905 Warm Winter Wraps Ladies' Furs Made and Repaired. Boas of all kinds at Reduced Prices. SPECIAL Reduction on Sealskins. All work Guaranteed as to fit and quality. C. C. BERG, Prop. Phone Main 4773 1425 First Ave., Near Pike Snow. Beautiful Snow. Seattle has had one of the heaviest snows seen for years in these parts. "Didn't it make you think of New England?" asked a sweet-faced grandmother of a friend she had chanced to meet at the street crossing. "Yes," came the reply, "but snow in Seattle means too much mud afterwards for me." The small boy, and in many cases, the large boy also, dug from attic or cellar his not often used sled and for a time pedestrians were forced to flee from the sidewalks as if possessed. None there were who would dare stand on the hillside and dispute the right of way with a Seattle bobsled. Who's That Said Chicken. Tacoma police have unearthed a great big robber cache. There is a section of the suburbs near the vicinity of the Y. M. C. A. which is covered with a matted, tangled growth of second-growth timber. In a small shack, by this brush concealed, a gang of some twenty or more boys have been gathering at night to kill, cook and eat chickens which they had stolen. A midnight rendezvous, a chicken raid and not a Negro in it. Is it possible? Honolulu's Mounted Lady Officer. The city of Honolulu has a woman, Miss Helen Wilder, who is filling the position of officer of the law. Although pretty and wealthy, and only 24, she is a mounted officer and wears on her soft felt hat the badge of her calling. She, of course, carries a revolver. Now Seattle is progressive and anxious to excel, we may yet see a mounted lady officer, and that, too, without going to Honolulu to do so. Exterminated Nit. William Barrett Brown is spending much time writing on the "White Peril." He claims that the Southern white laborer is gradually but surely supplanting the black man in the South land. And now comes the report, from Tacoma, of white boys stealing chickens by the hundreds. All that remains to be done is for some one to rob the Negro of his proverbial watermelon-eating monopoly and the word "exterminated" may be placed after his name. --- Fair Justice. The colored people of Houston honor and esteem Judge W. P. Hamblen of the Fifty- fifth civil district court, for the interest this honored jurist has always taken in the Negro race, but their reverence no doubt has been greatly increased since Wednesday of this week, when Judge Hamblen upon his owm motion rebuked ex-Congressman Tom Ball and Attorney Malevinsky for using the terms “nigger’’? and ‘‘darkey’’ in referring to Harmon Marshall, colored, who recovered $17,500 damages from the T’. & N.

What proved unique, and not to say a startling sensation Saturday, was a suit begun by Miss Katherine MeGroarty, a white Trish domestic, against John W. Holland, Jr., a Negro waiter, for a breach of promise of marriage. The Negro, in answer, says her color is against her. He eannot afford to marry a white woman. Miss MeGroarty in- sists upon his keeping his promise and marry. The tables are turned. A white woman sues a Negro for a breach of promise. Wonders never cease.—The Philadelphia Courant.

La Petite Roquette, the French prison for juvenile offenders, has very remarkable school rooms. The system of this prison is solitary confinement. Each child is in a sep- arate room or cell and the voice of the teacher is the only sound to be heard in the building. In 1901 there were 476 juvenile suicides in France, in 1840 there were 144. The system of their prisons for juveniles and the suppression of moral and religious instructions in the schools of France are being rather extensively discussed. The for- mer praised while the latter is by some made responsible for the increase of juvenile de- linquents, criminals and suicides. A POVERTY HUNTER.

JOHN P. HARTMAN. The University of Washington is to be congratulated upon John P. Hartman’s ap- pointment on its Board of Regents. Mr. Hartman is not only well qualified in what demands the appointment brings with it, but is conversant with the school manage- ment having always taken enough interest in it to keep abreast of the school’s develop- ment and progress from year to year. Mr. Hartman is a well known attorney of Seattle but has often taken time to speak before the classes in the law department of the Uni- versity. THE AMERICAN PRACTICE. Mrs. Lillie Devereaux Blake argues that because women cannot vote they should not be hanged. Possibly she has not observed that the American practice is to lynch the part of the population that is not eligible for hanging.— Buffalo Express. DIRECT PRIMARY IN ILLINOIS. The Republican leaders of Illinois have agreed upon a compulsory direct primary bill which is to be submitted to the next legislature. If it becomes a law, it will apply only to that part of the state outside of Cook county. It is in some respects a compromise measure, which provides that in certain cases candidates for office can be nominated by direet vote, but in others they must be nom- inated by delegate conventions. All candi- dates for state office must be nominated by the convention process, but it is made possi- ble for county officers to be selected at the primaries without a convention. Among the principal features of the new proposed law are: All candidates for all elective state, con- gressional and county offices shall hereafter be chosen by means of a primary law. The nomination of candidates by petition can be made as provided under the general election law. A political party is defined as being a po- litieal organization which cast for its lead- ing candidate at least 10 per cent of the total vote cast at the last general election. The primaries of all parties shall be held THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN A eee wee Sey, ae SY CS SY oe The election officers provided by the gen- eral election law shall be the primary elec- tion officers. Any candidate for state office may have his name placed on the primary ballot by filing his request with the secretary of state 30 days before the date of the primary ; the secretary of state to certify such request to the county clerk of each county. Candidates for congressional, senatorial and county offices shall file their names with the county clerk 10 days before the primary. Each party shall have separate ballots of different colored or tinted paper. Those eligible to participate in primary elections shall be qualified voters, and shall declare their party affiliations before receiv- ing their ballot to vote. Any candidate for any county office of any party who shall receive a majority of the total vote cast by his party at such primary shall be declared the nominee of the party for that office without submitting to roll call in the county convention. If any candidate shall receive a majority of the total vote cast by his party for any of- fice in any primary precinct, he shall be en- titled to the votes of the delegates from that precinet in the county convention. When any candidate does not receive a ma- jority in a primary precinct, the vote shall be cast in proportion to the number of votes cast for such candidate in that precinct by the party. Any candidate of any party for the nomin- ation of any state office who shall receive a majority of all the votes cast by his party in any county shall receive the votes of the del- egates from such county in the state conven- tion, but first a roll of counties shall be call- ed, and each county shall announce the total vote cast for each candidate for the said of- fice in said county, and if it is found that any candidate has received a majority of the total votes cast in the state, then he shall be declared the nominee of his party for said office. But if no candidate shall have re- ceived a majority of the popular vote cast by his party in the state for said office then the delegates in those counties in which the candidate received a majority of all the yotes cast at the primary election shall cast the votes of all the delegates from said county for said candidate; and in counties where no candidate received a ma- jority of all the votes cast for that office, the votes of the delegates from each of said counties shall be voted among the candidates for the particular office in proportion to the popular yote for each of the candidates in said county; and thé candidate receiving a majority of all the delegates comprising the state convention shall be declared the nom- inee of the party —Ex.

In twos, threes and bunches the notice was read and eagerly discussed by the employes and to say it caused consternation in that office is mildly putting it. They are obeying the order, but they are laying dead for their chief, and when he comes up for reelection they will stick a knife in him up to the hilt and break it off, with the view of teaching a lesson to the man who made them give value received for their monthly pay from the county just as they would to a private business concern. It is rather remarkable that county employes never think of doing their duty, but are ready to shirk at the slightest opportunity. * * * Senator George H. Baker is at the head of the appropriation committee, and it is generally admitted that that committee never had a better fitted man for its head than he. He is a very hard worker and his long service in the senate gives him the whole detail at his fingers' end. At the head of the railroad committee in the senate is A. T. Van De Vanter, who is well qualified to do the work, and having quite a following in the senate he will have things his way for the most part. It can be said without fear of successful contradiction that the present senate is made up of men that will give the people a brilliant account of their stewardship in the ninth session of the legislature. King county has an especially strong delegation in the senate and they are so hooked up that they can always get outside strength when they go after it. * * * Ex-Governor John H. McGraw, the only living ex-governor of the state, who was duly elected by the people, has spent the most of the week in Olympia. He is doubtless here in the interest of Mr. Piles' senatorial candidacy, but he has so many warm personal and political friends in the state that he is kept busy greeting his old acquaintances. The governor was doing so much receiving that it began to be whispered about the capital that he had his senatorial lightning rod up and that a great many of the members had become charmed with its beauty. It is said on good authority that the Sweeny managers have seriously considered his election if they could exact a promise from him to help Sweeny four years from now, but the governor is too loyal to Piles to give heed and he brushed it by in a manner that seemed to say, "It never touched me." * * * At the head of the senate judiciary committee is Senator E. M. Rands of Clark, who is serving his third time in the legislature. In order to keep things moving the senator is THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Name] working not less than fifteen hours per day. * * * It seems almost a travesty on good Americanism when the state house grounds are graced with a marble statue of John R. Rogers, when the memory of the lamented Elisha P. Ferry is left to rot and rust in the archives of the state vaults. Governor Ferry was largely responsible for there being a state of Washington at all, and yet not a later day statesman, Republican or otherwise, ever raises his voice for the erection of a suitable monument to his memory. How readily do we often forget those who rendered us the most valuable service. In the first political skirmishes for senatorship last Tuesday the Hon. Wesley L. Jones received six votes, which was a political compliment a few loyal friends felt moved to pay him at that particular time. Mr. Jones is not a candidate for the senatorship and he doubtless was unaware of the fact that his name would be mentioned in connection with the senatorship much less voted upon. Those ```markdown ``` * * * [Name] voting for him will sooner or later land in some other camp. Yakima Jones, as he is frequently dubbed, has been four times elected to the house of representatives of congress, and he has done such able and effective work that the Pie-maker would not be surprised to see him become quite a factor in either the present or a subsequent United States senatorial contest. Four years from now, when Senator Ankeny's term will have expired, it will be hard to keep him from becoming a most potent factor in the fight. The complimentary vote he is now receiving will take root downward and spring upward like a great mountain pine, and it will take some climbing to get over him. Some time ago the Republican quoted from a certain Eastern Washington politician, which ran as follows: "The Railroad Commissing steering committee went to Mr. Jones at the last state convention and asked him if he could and would not help the commission forces by giving them some of his Yakima strength. 'I can not,' was his prompt reply. ```markdown ``` FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1905. R.P. 28, 1888. [Name not visible in the image] CONGRESSMAN WILL E.

'My delegation is opposed to a railroad commission and I myself do not believe in the measure, and, if I should consider to support a commission, it would be an elective instead of an appointive one, and, I therefore, will not permit my delegation to consider the proposition for a minute.' The committee got cold comfort from Mr. Jones, but it by chance got into conversation with some of the delegation and learned quite a different story from that already told them and to Mr. Jones' great surprise the delegation voted solidly for the commission on the floor of the convention. It would thus seem that either Mr. Jones was not posted on his delegation or his standing was exceedingly poor with them, and for that reason it is predicted that if he by hook or crooks gets another nomination in case the state is districted he will be defeated by an overwhelming vote.' Now comes Congressman Jones and denies every allegation therein as will be seen from the following extract from a communication received at this office: "In your issue of December 23, in discussing the matter of division of the state into THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie and a mustache.

I do not know who it was that made this statement. I do know, however, that the only committee that interviewed me during the state convention consisted of Mr. Lund, Mr. Rockwell and Mr. Schiller. "I did not say that my delegation was opposed to a railroad commission, but I did tell them that my delegation, I understood, was in favor of a railroad commission. I did not tell them that I did not believe in a railroad commission, but I did tell them that my position was made clear in a public statement a couple of years before and that personally I was in favor of an elective commission. I did not say that I would not permit my delegation to consider the proposition for a minute, but I did tell them that my delegation came to the convention representing the people of Yakima, that it was not in my hands to dispose of one way or the other and that it would vote in the convention for and represent the sentiments of the people of the 1. county that it represented and I believed that it would support a railroad commission, as it did, and an appointive commission, too. "This committee did ask me how my delegation would act upon another matter and I told them that, while I did not know as I had not talked with the members, I did not think that the delegation would act along the lines they desired, but that in this delegation would act without any attempt at coercion by me. The delegation did not act along the lines desired by this committee, but its action was taken as the representatives of the people of Yakima county." Space is given to Mr. Jones' communication for the reason The Republican has no desire to do any one an injustice. The Republican quoted from Mr. Rockwell, and it tried to quote Mr. Rockwell as near verbatim as possible. In quoting from politicians The Republican has nothing to withhold from the public. * * * "I see some of the Seattle papers are advocating the dividing of the state into congressional districts. If this is done no other division would be feasible but to make two districts out of Western Washington and one out of Eastern Washington, and such a division would prove disastrous to the building of the Lake Washington canal," said a well known state politician to the Pie-maker one day this week. "When Eastern Washington becomes a separate district Congressman Jones, who is on the committee and rivers and harbors, would no longer have interest in the improvements of Puget Sound water ways, hence they would seriously suffer. Say Jones is defeated and that would make bad matters worse, for the new man would not be placed on so important a committee as that, and it is not probable that either of the members from Western Washington would be changed to that committee. In my opinion the Puget Sound country had better let the congressional districting of the state severely alone or it will catch a tartar before it knows it. Let it alone at least until the state gets an increased representation in congress." * * * It is rather remarkable that the half dozen Scandinavians in the legislature are all voting for Senator Foster. In talking of the incident a Mr. Erickson of Pierce County, who by the way was a candidate for auditor on the local Democratic ticket of that county said: "I am inclined to think that the Scandinavians are laboring under a case of mistaken identity. Senator Foster, you know has white hair and it is quite plain to my mind that he has been taken by the Scandinavians for a Swede. You remember too, Foster is originally from Minnesota, the home of the Scandinavian in the United States, and that too helps confirm the belief that Senator Foster is a Swede." Childhood Blighted. The bill introduced in the senate by Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, to regulate employment of child labor in the District of Columbia savors of things prudent. The tendency of the age is to place the responsibilities of maturity upon too youthful shoulders. ne eee BUILDING AND REALTY REVIEW. Building. The activity in Building cir- cles is gaining every week and the increase in building progress is so well distributed between the longer constructions and the resi- dences that they form almost a com- plete balance in progress. The past week was particularly pro- ductive of plans for large structures and remodeling of structures to en- hance their value as business blocks. The increase over last week is ex- plained by saying that the spring sea- son which is always the season for commencing building operations, has already come in for its share of at- tention, even so early in the year. “Many projects were put through that had simply been allowed to rest through the winter or fall months,” as a contractor puts it. Realty operations were like- wise many in number and the larger ones strongly in the fore- ground, The same increase of activ- ity prevails in realty as in building circles. One of the most notable realty deals that has been put through here for some time was made by John Davis & Co., who sold the building known as the Lebanan block on cor- ner Occidental avenue and Main street to Thomas McGill of this city for a consideration of $125,000. The site is at present occupied by a six-story brick block. The lot has a frontage of 120 feet on Main street and 50 feet on Occidental avenue. It does not re- quire extremely good business in- stinect to see that this is a splendid purchase even at the high figures named. The development of this sec- tion of the city is assured to be well on in progress. The new depot and other buildings draw much traffic and value in that direction. James P. Gleason of the American Bank im managing the consummation of the plans for the erection of one of the best buildings Seattle has to its credit. The lot is owned by the American Trust and Savings Company and. is located at the corner of Madi- son St. and Second Ave. The lot ad- joining owned by Thomas Burke will also be graced by a large building which shall be connectedwith the for- mer and known under the same name. The building is to be 12-stories high its conveniences the best and its con- struction as perfect as is possible. The cost is estimated to be about $400,000. H. W. Gould is the architect. G.,W. Dilling sold a lot on the south- east corner of Virginia St. and Eighth Ave., for $7000. 60 foot frontage bord- ers on Kighth Ave and 120 feet on Vir- ginia St. A two-story frame building occupies the sight at present with some additional smaller buildings. J. B, Agen secured the title to the lot and building on Second Ave., near Pike Street, known as the Heney Build- ing for a consideration of $120,000. The two-story Heney Block which at present occupies the site will be im- proved in a short time by adding three stories to the block making it a choice building for the business section of that vicinity. The south-east corner of Virginia St. and Sixth Ave. was sold to EB. Davidson by John L. Stomer for $8,500. The lot on the east side of Fourth Avenue, between Jefferson St. and THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Mr. G. Nelson bought a lot from Crawford & Conover Co., local real estate dealers, for $6500. The lot is on the west side of Summit Ave. north of Madison St. An apartment house will soon be erected on this property. J. H. Kimball sold a lot on Fourth Ave., near Madison Street, south of Lincoln Hotel for $22,000. The east- ern capitalists who secured this prop- erty will soon improve it by erecting a large building. J. E. Gabrill will soon erect a two- story frame flat building at 1209 17th Ave. North, to cost $1200. H. Schnorble will build two frame cottages at 1423-1427 North Fifty-sec- ond St., to cost $1800. Wilhelmina Huges has filed plans for the erection of a frame residence at 2034 N. Broadway at a cost of $1500. Among the residences soon to be erected we note the following: N. P, White has completed plans for the erection of four one-story cottages at 2704-20 East Union St., cost $3400. G. W. Cline has filed plans for the erection of a two-story frame resi- dence 30x44 to be built at 1422 East Aloha St., to cost $3500. Mohler and Cotter have filed plans for the erection of a one-story frame cottage at 1528—24th Ave., to cost $1500. A two-story frame cottage will soon be erected by L. H. Wehren at 4739— 14th Ave. N.E., to cost $2000. R. M. Benson will build a two-story frame residence at 1909—11th Ave., East Denny Way, to cost $2800. Three flat buildings will be erected under the supervision of Fehren & Co., at the corner of Eleventh Avenue and Terrace St. The buildings will be modern in every way and it is the intention to have them completed in four months. Mr. J. F. Morhs will soon commence the erection of a $50,000 wooden-ware building on the lots which he recently bought for $3500 on the Ballard Water front on Railroad Ave. ATHLETIC AND SPORTING RE- VIEW. lt is becoming a well-known fact that the antagonism that used to pre- vail against college athletics, especially its competitive games, is fast replaced by a sane enthusiasm in their favor. Some ten or fifteen years ago parents whose sons were in attendance at the Universities, looked upon intercolleg- iate athletics as superfluous and for- eign to the object of their going to school. Scientific gymnastics were a long time developing into an import- ant place in college life and indeed in High School life. It is not too much to say that even intercollegiate con- tests are necessary and when one steps into a modern gymnasium and sees the science of gymnastics being mastered with a result of a develop- ment of good strong physiques and healthy bodies he can not fail to be impressed with the need of such a feature in a modern educational insti- tution. In all things which develop rapidly as the science of gymnastics has, there is the feature of extremism to be guarded against. For instance, much wise athletic legislation should be encouraged and applied to the con- ducting of our intercollegiate contests. The science in a football game should not be subordinated to trickery merely to win, for to win is not the whole aim and end in a wisely played football game. We would like to see a little legislation and revision applied to this game tending to make it a little more open in its plays and containing a little less of the prize-fight tactics. We recognize the difficulty of the task with which experts only should deal. Basket Basket Ball is a neat little Ball game for the winter months and it is helpful to see it attract feminine athletics to its shrine. The Sophomores played o creditable little game with the Freshmen at the High School but lost to the speedier first year lassies. The graver Seniors likewise lost to the agile Juniors with a sadder score amounting to 21 to 1. The University Basket Ballteam seemg to find some little difficulty in com- pleting its schedule on which the leaders are deliberating at present. It is believed that both the Eastern Washington trips and the Oregon trips will be taken. Track The plans for the track meet Meet. at the University are pro- gressing well so that the February Indoor Meet is now practi- cally assured. Not only will running be the feature of this contest but nearly all other contests will be en- tered. Boxing and wrestling will play a prominent part in the meet. High jumping will also be included. With the return of Tilley of Idaho and Pear- son on the floor, it can be said that Washington will have one of the best and fleetest track teams in the West. The track team of the S. A. C., which is being developed will most probably enter against the University team at the February meet. The club has in mind arranging plans for an indoor meet to be held soon and with the material that the club already has, the evidence is that the club will have strong participants. Base Indoor Base Ball is begin- Ball. ning to be considered a very creditable form of a competetive sport. It is a preparatory school for the heavier outdoor base ball which begins about the first of March. The collegians have formed a squad for the purpose of mastering this indoor sport and with the addition of good coaching much may be ex- pected along this line of athletics. The league players are being as- signed to their various teams through- out the West and much reassigning is being done. Seattle will have a stronger team this coming season than the one just passed if all reports are to be taken at their face value. Bowling The time in which to do the Alleys. fastest playing on the alleys only remains of the City Bowling League season. When the prizes are awarded there will very likely be a different arrangement of the team standings. The teams have been straining their muscles to obtain and to maintain first place for a creditable length of time. Strikes and spares now become more common for precision has been de- veloped through ten weeks of contests. It is very likely that the championship in class A will be owned by the sturdy Centrals who have kept a lively pace for a number of weeks. The Colum-- bians seem disposed to make the for- mer show their mettle and in their doing so have tied them for first place with a score of 22 games won against 17 lost. It is possible that their mettle will show the superior quality. The Brunswicks follow closely with a score of 21 to 17. In class B the Navajos will surely FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1905. maintain their standing at the head of the class, having held it for more than six weeks. 27 games won against 12 lost is too good a record to be beaten in the last week of play. The Siwashes with 26 to 13 as will be seen are not far in the background and they continue to do good bowling. The Ramblers with a score of 24 to 12 are coming well up the line but hardly fast enough to be a factor on the day of final reckoning one week hence. Individual work has been particularly good giving indications that the Se- attle team which represents the City in the National tournament will make a fine showing. Jenkins, Scherer, Remier, Sheffer, Clinton and Early all deserve mention as the leading speeders of the spheres, —k. J. W: Uncle Joe has barrels of money to loan on diamonds, watches and jew- elry.
