HON. SAM H. PILES, United States Senator-Elect.
HON. S
United S
Samuel H. Piles, the King county candidate for United States senator, was elected today (Friday) on the thirteenth joint ballot, which ended the political struggle between Foster, Piles, Sweeny and John L. Wilson, and for the next six years he will warm the seat that has been warmed by Addison G. Foster for the past six. While the struggle just closed has been a very bitterly contested one, yet it was done without the display of much enthusiasm on the part of either candidate. Mr. Piles made a hard fight, and made it practically without money, save what a few business men contributed toward his campaign, and such fighting is deserving of success and public admiration, even from his opponent.
The withdrawal of Charles Sweeny from the rase Thursday evening and the throwing of his forces to Piles made it possible for him to easily win the next day, since all of his supporters stood by the agreement. Such a turn in the political situation proved a body blow below the belt for both Foster and

Wilson, as neither of them thought it possible at any stage of the game for Sweeny to be able to deliver to Piles, while it was generally admitted he (Sweeny) could deliver to Foster at least a part of his vote. It will be remembered that early in the late campaign George Stevenson became so pronounced against the candidacy of Sam Piles that he supported the Democratic nominee for governor, with the hope of doing something toward the heading off of the election of Piles. It will be further remembered that George Baker, another of the Sweeny leaders, promised to hand J. D. Farrell a bunch at the Ninth Legislature for the part Mr. Farrell is supposed to have played in the defeat of Baker for governor at the Tacoma convention, and the defeat of Piles was supposed to be a part of the bunch. With these two men in absolute control of the Sweeny campaign for the senatorship, the very thought of Sweeny delivering to Piles was looked upon as political folly, but some one has said "politics make strange bed-fellows," and in
27,1905 PRICE FIVE CENTS the election of Mr. Piles at the hands of Stevenson and Baker you have a most brilliant example.
Senator Foster, who was a political accident and who did not profit from the vantage gained by him, could not have expected much more than was handed to him last Friday by some one. Had Mr. Foster lived up to the agreement made by him at the time he was elected, no power could have defeated him at this time. It is said there was even lukewarmness on the part of his home delegation, for no other reason than because he had failed to live up to the promises he had made prior to his election. And yet Addison G. Foster was an ideal senator for Pierce county, for he seemed to have not been able to see any part of Washington but the county and city in which he lived. Men who make political promises before their election must keep them, or those very promises will all be talked over again when they come up for reelection.
The defeat of John L. Wilson will be regretted by his Spartan band of supporters. They have cherished the hope since his defeat six years ago of reelection, that he would be able sooner or later to again return to the senate, but fate has been against both him and his advocates. Senator Wilson is one of the truest men that ever lived to his friends, and he does not unduly punish even with an opportunity his enemies. At this time his friends at least thought his time seemed to be once more at hand, and they stood by him to the very last ditch. Whether or not he will now retire from active political life is a question, but from what has been dropped by him from time to time in the presence of his friends, it is quite likely he will. While he is the owner of the largest Republican paper in the state, and while a majority of the state house officers are both personal and political friends of his, he nevertheless will in the future, it is surmised, confine his efforts to the building up of his paper. The editor of The Seattle Republican has fought for the success of Senator Wilson because he had every reason to believe, with the power in hand, he would treat all men without regard to race, color or nationality, fairly, and he did not seem to see the same elements of fairness in the other candidates, hence his defeat comes doubly hard to us, but we submit to the will of the party and hereby extend our congratulations to the successful.
Samuel H. Piles is a Kentuckian by birth, but has lived in this state since his early manhood. Some eighteen years ago he cast his lot in the far Northwest, and has continuously lived in this state ever since. He is one of the leading attorneys of the Pacific Coast and one of the best campaign orators in the state. While he has taken an active part in every campaign that has been fought since he first came to this section, yet he has never before held or asked for an office. He is a leading corporation lawyer and has always commanded fine salaries from them. He lived about a year in Spokane, then he moved to Seattle, and subsequently lived a

Some of the great admirers of Mr. Bryan
are uneasy for fear that it will not be gen-

man, and that it took great strength of
character to enable him to go to the White

need be no fears; the fact that Mr. Bryan
is a great man, in a way, is well established,
but there has been more than one great
man misled till he placed the strength with
which he was endowed against the political
wheel and push with all his foree—in the
wrong direction.

The death of Frank H. Croker, who was
thrown from his automobile in Ormond, Fla.,
and died shortly afterwards, cast a gloom
over the races held at that place. The most
rigid rules to insure against every accident
were enforced during the automobile races
by those who drove their own machines.
Croker, the deceased, was a son of the former
Tammany boss. His death, however, was but
in keeping with what usually happens when
new inventions are being put into general
use. Experience, the teacher, charges high
for her instructions.
Rev. M. A. Mathews Is in the City.
The significance of the expression: ‘‘Fools
rush in where angels fear to tread,’’ is oc-
easionally brought out so plainly that we see
it as the originator of the expression in-
tended we.should. In the state of Washing-
ton those who came first, the backbone of
the commonwealth, they are sometimes fit-
tingly called, have the preference in many
things and their advice is sought in councils,
and they are listened to when they speak, for
they know Seattle as it used to be and as it
really is. Some there are, however, who have
come into our midst so recently that the dust
sticks to them, yet at one fell swoop they
strive to take the lead in Seattle affairs, with
an air which would indicate that they wonder
how we ever got along without them at all.
But a short while back word reached us that
one Rey. M. A. Matthews was coming to this
city from a small town in Tennessee. No one
thought much of that, for the church to
which he was coming needed a pastor, but
when he came—well, very many soon grew
sorry that he ever came at all. From the
first he has been the spectacular sensation
starter instead of the spiritual adviser of the
people. He has never ceased to advise the
city as to those things that they attended to
successfully before his arrival; there have
been no public meetings where those in whom
the citizens place their trust, appeared but
what first Rev. Matthews’ head and then his
rather long body pushed to the front. But,
when this sensation spreader attacked the
city council, and, on being requested by them
to explain himself, gets up his reply in the
most dramatic manner possible, to the ef-
fect that he would appear before them if he
be assured that he will not be interrupted
while speaking, the limit to his ministerial
stunts would appear to have been reached,
but not so. The council has received a peti-
tion that the Rev. M. A. Matthews be permit-
ted to appear before them in the Grand Opera
House instead of in the council chamber at
the city hall. Needless to say the petition
was turned down. Could the Rey. M. A. Mat-
thews have had the grand effect of the opera
house well light, the council assembled, and
himself seated in the center of the stage, be-
fore his mental vision, the observed of all ob-
servers, when he accused the city council of

THAT LEGISLATIVE MANUAL
Is Succeeding Beyond Expectation. Are You In It? If Not, Why Not?
CURRENT COMMENT.
Emigrants for the South.
An effort is on foot to direct immigration southward. The steady stream of immigrants which has for years been pouring into these United States have located in the larger cities, thereby adding greatly to the slum population. The South, for the most part, encourages the proposition with the amendment that the government must not cut loose a horde of undesirable aliens on their section. There comes the rub: the wheat and the tares must be taken together, and ere the cotton bowls have opened and displayed their shining fleecy contents three years after these immigrants arrive the South will find in its now muchly desired alien population a "white elephant" of which it cannot rid itself. The native American cannot live at such a low standard as can these aliens and so cannot afford to work for the same low wages. In such cases it is quite evident what people would get both the work and the money. Many reason that, if the standard of living is reduced and the native Americans have to compete with the aliens the Americans will check the increase of their families. Towards this there would be two incentives: First, they would not wish their sons and daughters to compete with those who are content with such a low standard of living; second, being forced to accept the conditions of things, as they would then be, they would become unable to rear their children up to the present American standard of living. The female immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe and from Asia have proven to be very prolific and if the birth rate decrease in the native Americans, the end is obvious. The South need have a care lest in seeking to rid itself of the black man it does not jump "from the frying pan on to the stove."

Dime Novel Reading.
Erne Whitney, alias Harry Kister, who has been arrested, tried and sentenced to the penitentiary for two years for stealing from his roommate at Black Diamond, says dime novel reading caused his downfall. Cheap fiction, or rather, dime novel reading, has some strong advocates as to its helpful influences, but in all instances it is agreed that such reading is for mature minds only. Many deep readers claim that a 10-cent detective story, after an unusually heavy mental strain, drives dull care away. There is not much to these stories so far as the strength of the plot or the moral is concerned, and so the authors seek to clothe them in the most attractive language, reason others.
True, "a little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men," and the mind needs diversion just as the muscles need exercise to keep them strong. Youthful minds, however, are not very heavily taxed, and so this requirement does not reach them. In their perusal of such works it is the weaker side which appeals to them strongest, therefore to them such reading is misleading. Many a young boy, in his desire to emulate some detective of whom he has read, mistakes dishonesty for bravery and thus gets a start on the criminal road when his desires are really for the higher things in life. After he has forged a chain of circumstances about him, the strength of which he cannot break, he accepts the condition of things as
THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN
they are—a life is wrecked and the first cause may be traced back to dime novel reading. The more Puratanic claim that mental contact with "trashy" books is always degrading and that time is all that is needed ere the evil effects become apparent. If there are good results to be derived from reading this cheap form of fiction one should keep close watch upon himself, so guarding his own welfare as to take warning at the very first danger signal.

Mr. Martin, the American consul for China, writes encouragingly of that portion of the Orient. He says: "I believe in the Chinese. They are a deep race and the Chinese diplomats are wonders. I have never yet been able to quite fathom the workings of their minds to the extent of actually understanding them. In fact, I do not believe that they even understand themselves." That we do not better understand them renders us unable to a great extent to tell what power they may or may not become when their national unity shall have been established. No race, ignorant of the political problems which confront it, can rise rapidly, and this has retarded the progress of the Chinaman; however, he has demonstrated, rather to a fault, that he is interested in and will work for the betterment of the economic problem. It takes many things to give birth to and keep alive national pride and the social question and the question of family and personal welfare have been made dominant in China to such a degree as to exclude the formation of national unity as well as many other things which we deem necessary to a strong nation. Yet in his very faults we find some degrees of strength. His love for societies which is so great as to even mar the influence of the reigning sovereign, and his fear of solitude, which is present with him even in death, show that he realizes that "in union there is strength." When this same feeling can be turned into the proper channels the brighter day for China will have dawned. Mr. Justin Burns, an engineer who has had much experience in Chinese railroad construction, says: "The Chinese are quite capable of handling labor saving machinery, and that they readily become skilled mechanics. That being the case, they simply stand in need of capable superintendence to instruct and direct their work." There are two great factors which have played the greatest part in the elevation of all other races, and they are religion and education. The reports from the work of the world's missionaries in China are scattered over the entire globe, and whereas there is much discouraging about their progress there are, oasis like, plainly discernable signs of an awakening interest along many lines. The following clipping calls to notice a departure from the old order of things:

Berkeley, Cal., Wednesday, Jan. 18.—His excelency, Sheng, viceroy of Chili province, China, has been induced by Prof. John Fryer of the department of Oriental languages at the state university, to provide five scholarships for Chinese students now at the university. The first installment of the funds has been received by Prof. Fryer and five fortunate Chinese students have been selected as beneficiaries of their distinguished countryman's liberality. The students chosen are later to be supplied with employment in China, and already can dream dreams and see visions of political place and preferment at the hands of the powerful Sheng. This is the first instance on record, according to Prof. Fryer, who is an authority on Oriental affairs and thoroughly versed in all the history of the Orient's relations with the West, that scholarships have been given by a Chinese official to the students of any American or European university.

Collector, of Customs Ide has received instructions from the department that after May, 1905, certain officers of the service designated in the instructions would be required to wear uniforms of a prescribed make. Some men object very much to wearing uniforms. Even among the sailors they often change their uniform for citizens' clothes whenever the opportunity presents itself. Evidently the average one of them does not realize how near to a woman's heart is a man with a uniform on.

To sell or not to seel, that is the question. Little the Russians thought in 1867, when they sold Alaska for $7,200,000 that ere the year 1905 Alaska would produce gold, fish, copper and furs to the amount of $250,000,000.

Judge Black of the superior court at Everett has made two important rulings in divorce cases; one is that allowance for attorney's fees will be greatly reduced, and the other that the plea of incompatability of temper will not alone be considered grounds for divorce. The former will mean that there are more patches to be used by the woman behind the needle, and the other, that every time a man becomes tired of one woman, thinking all the while that has in sight another with whom he would be happier, he will have to trump up some other excuse than the mere fact that there are times when they do not agree as the angels are supposed to before he can divorce his wife.

That divorce courts of Berlin can still grind out divorces is not questioned. Of the 20,141 pairs married during last year 1,476 of the women married for the second time, 99 the third, six the fourth and one the fifth time.
POLITICAL POT=PIE
Last week's Republican was a bit in error in saying, "all of the Scandinavian members of the legislature were voting for Foster," for Representative Erickson from King county has cast his vote from the very outset for Sam Piles and Mr. Piles has no stronger or more ardent advocate among his number than Representative Erickson.

The Seattle Times editorially admits that the prospective libel law was framed and is being enacted for the express purpose of putting the editor of the Times out of business. In other words, the Times admits, it is a blackmailing vulgar sheet and will be robbed, by the passage of this law, of its principle stock in trade. Sic transit gloria, but the Times' editor will have had a peek of fun ere he has been knocked down and out by the strong arm of the law.

There are two doctors in the senate of the ninth legislature from Whitman county, each of whom thinks the term "prominent physician" is just their size, and the appearance of last week's Seattle Republican on the floor of the senate, quoting from a "prominent Whitman county physician," caused both of these gentlemen to explain to their fellow members, 'that does not mean me.' The article caused much comment both pro and con.

"Van De Vanter and Davis" appears on a great sign that has recently been swung on the outside of a prominent Seattle building, which simply means, Senator Lincoln Davis of Tacoma is to become a Seattle business man, and the partner of Senator Van De Vanter of King, after the present legislature will have adjourned. It is understood, however, that he will not give up his residence in Tacoma until his term of office expires.
Last Monday Secretary Lysons was seen overseeing a couple of "pages" who were rolling a barrel into an ante room of the senate and in less than twenty minutes a score or more of men were doffing their hats to him, and for why he, Lysons, could not explain, but when he was tapped for a "ten spot" soon after it all dawned upon him that he had been mistaken as being the custodian of the Foster barrel for distribution.

It can be said without fear of successful contradiction that Senator R. M. Kinnear hears more "hard luck" stories and tries to put more broken down, would-be politicians on a better road for bread and beer than any of his colleagues. Dick, as he is known among his host of friends, has a heart in him as big as a mountain and it's as liberal as a mountain stream. More men besides the poor newspaper man can and will testify to this splendid quality in Senator R. M. Kinnear.

Gov. Mead can hardly be criticised for his recent appointments to the Supreme bench, for he flew so high that he reached the sky to catch a Crow and dug deep to get a Root. If such extremes do not bring about a most happy mein then the average Republican is very much mistaken. But, serious! The appointment of no two men in the state would have given more universal satisfaction than that of Judge Milo A. Root and Senator Herman D. Crow.

The ninth legislature has followed in the wake of the eighth legislature in refusing to give women employment one way or the other in its halls. Under ordinary circumstances that would seem to be an unkind cut for the women, but all who saw the state house besieged with women begging for places and who heard of the hundred and one scandals that followed those legislatures that gave them employment, are ready to rise up in "meetin' " and declare it a Godsend, that the practice of employing women in the legislature was cut out.

The Oregon legislature has about passed a local option law, which allows all resident districts of the state to decide by a majority vote whether saloons will be allowed therein or not. The Washington legislature has under advisement a similar measure and it is common talk that it will be passed. There will be some decided opposition to it, but whether strong enough in either body to defeat its passage remains to be seen.

Mention was made in The Republican last week of the printers' combine, which has for its object the filching of the state out of hundreds of thousands of dollars unless the state steps in the breech and buys her own printing plant, and the suggestion was well received by the lawmakers. The lobbyists for the combine took alarm at once and got busy among the senators, hoping to head off the proposition. If the state does not purchase her own plant the "printers' combine" during the present and ensuing years will have robbed her out of fully $100,000 and then some. This matter needs your attention, Mr. Representative, and needs it dam bad.

Is King county up against another losing proposition? is being daily asked. Another week's struggle like unto the one just closed and a senatorial senastion will be sprung and King county will again find herself out in the cold. It is here predicted that, if King county turns up loser again in a senatorial race, those Republican pluralities she has been wont to give the county and state tickets in the past will go glimmering in the future. This is not a threat, but an actual fact, believe it if you want to.
Senator Will G. Graves has given up legislation as a bad job and has returned to Spokane, his home, to not return to the capital again during the session. What Graves should do is to resign and let some good man be elected to the place that the district might get its due representation. Graves is a quitter because he is hopelessly in the minority. His election was a political accident and nine
FRIDAY. JANUARY 27. 1905
times out of ten such elections never amount to a tinker's damn. Graves' speech nominating Turner for governor at Bellingham last August clearly demonstrated that the man is made out of pretty common clay.

The prospects of a sixth superior judge in King county have brought out an army of candidates for the place. Should the house of representatives follow in the wake of the senate and pass the measure, which it will, and then should the governor sign the measure, which he will, making it law, the governor will appoint some one to the newly created place, who would hold until his successor was elected and qualified, which he would do immediately after the next regular election. From the number of "prominent attorneys" that are seeking the appointment, it would appear that grazing among Seattle attorneys is rather poor just now.

In the past, from what we ourselves have seen and heard, senatorial contests at Olympia have not only been sources of revenue for a great many folk, but they have likewise been sources of entertainment and amusement. However much they have in the past partaken of those qualities there is one thing certain, the present one is totally devoid of any of those features, for things by day and by night about the various senatorial headquarters are like unto a calm after a storm.

One's name is not always an indicator of what one in actual life does for a livelihood, as may be seen from a few names picked up in the state senate. There is a Baker (G. H.) in the senate, but he is a banker and not a baker. He is proud of his business, but would not think much of one who would report that he is a first class baker.
In the senate is a Clapp (C. F.), but he would resent it, if you indicate that he was a Clapper, for he never goes off half cocked.
* * *
Whitman county has sent a Boone (H. M.) to the senate, but he is not one that the average man would select as a boon companion, for he is rather reticent and has little to say to his associates except on business.

Presiding over the senate is a Coon and yet one all but falls dead on entering the senate chamber to meet the august presence of an Anglo-Saxon of the most pronounced type. It's a safe bet he is no "coon."
Ruth of Biblical fame may have been a great binder, but Ruth (A.S.) of the present legislature is a spieler and he is dead on to his job.
If Kittitas selected Sharp (J. P.) hoping he would do some great cutting for that district she got left, for while "Dad Sharp does things" he would impress you more as "dad" dull than dad sharp.

One would suppose that there is at least one Christian (Walter) in the senate, but the other day Walter was not in good humor about something and from what we heard him say, it struck us that he is either no Christian at all or he has badly blackslidden.

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
The city market idea, which has sprung to life in Seattle, and which is being pushed forward as rapidly as is possible, seems to be spreading. The produce growers around Spokane have arranged to go before the city council at an early date and urge the establishment of a city market at that place.
The public domain of the state of Washington is rapidly becoming smaller and the opportunity to secure good agricultural and timber lands is growing correspondingly less. That this is realized is evident from increased interest manifested by the rapid locating which has been and is still being done.

The earth is said to be a dull planet to most people. After the rosy hue of youth has worn away all seems to become common place and sadly real, but for the government purchasing board of Washington there is a break from the melancholy, a real novelty is ahead. Uncle Sam wishes to purchase some horses for our soldiers in the Philippine Islands and it will be necessary for the horses to be ridden by the members of the board before they are shipped, as a gaurantee of their being desirable ones. When farm after farm shall have been canvassed the members of the board will doubtless feel like the little school boy, who answered, "Please, Miss, I'd rather stand," when the teacher whipped him and told him to take his seat.

It is of course all right for these veterans to celebrate and they did valiant work in the Philippines, but it does seem so weak in a nation just as soon as one war's veterans become extinct to go into hostile warfare again and create another veteran list.

Thirteen workman have been laid off from the department of steam engineering at the navy yard in Bremerton. The lay off was made necessary on account of lack of funds in that department. Thirteen has always been said to be an unlucky number and there was some truth in the saying as far as these men were concerned.

No one upholds thugs and evil doers yet, when a man takes three diamond rings worth $400 into an alley, as did Chin Quan, a Chinese merchant of Seattle, at 4 o'clock in the morning, and displays them to two strange men, expecting to sell the stones to them, no one is surprised that the stones and the strange men quickly disappear, leaving Chin Quan standing without even the $19, which he had in pocket before he entered the alley.

short time in Snohomish county. He returned to Seattle and has resided here ever since. His work in the last campaign in this county showed to a better advantage his party worth than all of his former efforts. That his election will be the signal for untold rejoicing in Seattle is a foregone conclusion, for it is the thing for which Seattle has mourned and prayed since the retirement of Senator Watson C. Squire in 1897.
BUILDING AND REALTY.
a healhier realty market than at pres-
ent. It requires but little exercise of
one’s reasoning faculties to see the
truth in the statement. One must also
be struck with the remarkable agility
with which money jugglers fling their
precious metal in the direction of Se-
attle. It is quite pertinent to refer at
this instance to a statement made in
a New York journal, and that none
other than Collier's Weekly, a week
ago, which contained in substance this
thought: “Is it not likely that, in the
light of the great developments in the
Far East, commercially and otherwise,
the western city of Seattle will grow
to be even a greater city than our
own New York?” This interrogation
while aired with imaginative there is
nevertheless an indication that the
East is carefully watching the growth
of the Northwest metropolis and see
for it a magnificent future.
There are but few realty firms in
this city who can not say that they
have been remarkably busy the past
week, They add that there is a de-
mand for investment property more
than usual, showing that there is more
money in the city than before—a con-
dition necessary to insure its growth
and permanency.
We record the following building
and realty developments, which repre-
sent only a portion of the representa-
tive transaction being made from time
to time:
L. B. Bunnell sold to F. A. Brown a
lot on the southeast corner of Clay
and Blliott streets, having a frontage
of 160 feet on Elliott street and 60 on
Clay street. The price paid was $6500.
George F. Meacham sold to E. B.
Caine a lot on the proposed Westlake
Boulevard 120 feet north of Pike street
for $25,000. The exceptional value of
the property in this vicinity seems to
have incited investors to hasten deals
by which they secured the title to lots
abuting on the proposed boulevard and
in the immediate neighborhood. The
exceptional value arises out of the
elaborate improvements contemplated
in this district.
The Metropolitan Press has secured
the title to three lots on the corner of
Rainier avenue and Main street from
the Parry Investment Company for
$3650. The Press Company will soon
erect a large building for its plant at
a cost of a considerable sum of money.
A. G. Anderson bought four lots on
Rainier avenue near King street for
$4000, on which lots he expects to
erect a business block soon.
H. A. Austin has sold a lot in Block
“A,” Dunn’s Addition, to Rebecca Mil-
ler for $4500.
Arthur Jordan sold a similar lot in
Block 39, Pontius’ addition, to V. H.
Smith for $2500.
J. H. Farmer secured the title to a
desirable piece of property in the form
of a four flat building on Spruce street,
near Eighth avenue. Bredes, Lebold
& Co, sold the property for $7000.
W. W. Reed has already filed plans
for the erection of a three-story brick
warehouse, 65x165, at 1259-1263 Utah
street. The building will cost $40,000.
In residence building the hopeful
view still prevails. Figures show that
THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN
during the past month there have been
as many permits granted to residence
builders as any month previous for
some time. This very thing strength-
ens the Eastern capitalists’ views as
to the stability of the Seattle realty
market.
We record the following:
A. Hansen filed plans for a two-
story frame residence to be built at
304 Boren avenue North, to cost $1200.
Christiana McGee will build a two-
story frame residence at 7652 Hast
Green Lake Boulevard at a cost of
$2000.
Mrs. M. J. Winters filed plans for
the erection of a frame cottage at 1107
East Jefferson street to cost $1200.
F. Cowles will soon build” three
frame cottages at 503-7-11 Hast 71st
street at a cost of $4500.
Cc. J. Martin & Son have completed
plans for the erection of a two-story
frame residence at 1945 Thirteenth
avenue North at a cost of $3000.
H. W. Scott will build a one and
one-half story frame cottage at 1913
East Spruce street to cost $1550.
Isaac Wilson will soon erect a frame
residence at 603 North Sixty-fifth
street to cost $1200.
Phil Liebig has filed plans for the
erection of a frame residence at 1127
Twenty-seventh avenue to cost $1600.
O. E. Knoff has filed plans for the
erection of a two-story frame resi-
dence at 110 Olympia place at a cost
of $2400.
Bebb & Mendell, architects, have
filed plans for the construction of a
fourth story on the brick building situ-
ated at 1400-1404 Second avenue, to
cost $12,000.
W. A. Stafford will soon erect a res-
idence at 2207 East Olive street at a
cost of $1500.
M. H. Young will also erect a similar
building at 1773 Fourteenth avenue
South to cost $1800.
ATHLETIC AND SPORTING RE-
VIEW.
The athletics at this time of the
year do not partake so much of the
nature of the spectacular as during
the spring and fall seasons, during
which seasons the longer games are
played. It is also quite true that the
athletics of this intermediate season
are much more adapted to the general
development of the participants—the
end and true aim of all gymnastics.
The indoor work in athletics at any
institution or indeed any club is al-
ways more prolific of good results than
the more vigorous outdoor games, be-
cause the former is directly adapted
to the exercise of more muscles than
the latter and is free from the neces-
sary exclusiveness of this latter form.
Yet one cannot fail to see the good
things that come to a football player
for instance, even along with the many
so-called bad things; and of this latter
kind there are really fewer than most
people think. The sturdiness, the en-
durance and the discipline that must
develop in a football player are only
a few of the creditable things that
drill themselves into the very nature
of one who would play this . game.
When one adds to this the finer points
which gymnastics develop he has all
in all the things which contribute to-
‘ward making well rounded physical
man.
The activity at the University di-
rected toward the develop-
Track ment of things for a cred-
Meet. itable track ‘meet to be
held next month is bear-
ing good fruit. The meet in which the
underclassmen engaged last Saturday
went to show that there was mtaerial
of good stamp available for the inter-
collegiate meet. The Freshmen seem
to have superior qualities in general,
defeating the second year men with
comparative ease. The high jump, the
wrestling and the sprinting were all
in all very. encouraging. The pole
vault, a feature which has in the past
few years received much attention
over the entire country, showed that
in Dohm the University has a contest-
ant who will support its prestige
against any western institution.
Much is expected from this form of
contesting during the
Basket coming two months. The
Ball. University team, under
the captaincy of Loyal
Shoudy, will start on it stour the sec-
ond week of February and will play
against the leading institutions of this
state and Oregon. The ladies’ team
has also completed its schedule, which
includes games with the teams of the
City ‘High School, the Ellensburg Nor-
mal, Snohomish and Belling. The
practice under Coach Tom McDonald
of the ’Varsity team has developed
many of the good latent points pos-
sessed by the maiden players.
The High School teams have been
doing considerable practicing and con-
testing for some time. The Juniors
showed their superiority over the oth-
er class teams last Saturday by win-
ning from the first year girls with the
creditable score of 4 to 3. The play-
ing on the part of the latter was more
spirited and showed superior team
work, but lacked in endurance.
The Y. M. C, A. won from the Port-
land team last Saturday only after
a decided brace in the second half.
The game, generally speaking, was
not a good one, as there seemed a
lack of precision and team work pres-'
ent, things which count more than all
others in making goals.
On the greens things were particu-
ularly quiet the past
Golf week. The local team
Links. continues its practice and
thus far has won in every
contest. Good playing may be seen
on the links, but the activity should
be sharpened by more contests.
Seattle has been invited to join the
British Columbia League
Lacrosse. soon. Among the local
lacrosse players are num-
bered some who can handle the sticks
with spirit and credit. That Seattle
will have a team of as good material
as any in the league is assured when
we note that O’Brien and Lynch will
take matters in hand to make Seat-
tle’s power felt in the Northern cities.
The last games on the alleys are
? proving intensely interest-
Bowling ing. The standing at
Alley. present is hardly what we
expected ‘two weeks ago,
but as the finish neared the bowlers
seemed to bestir themselves, causing
a slight rearrangement of the stand-
ings. What would have been the last
FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1905.
game of the City League was played
last Saturday, but the bestiring was
so noticeable that the reckoning board
flashed a tie of three teams in Class
A. The Brunswicks and Pacifies have
traveled the entire distance from the
bottom to the top and now enjoy the
distinction of being tied with the Co-
lumbias. The most interesting test is
yet to come when these three teams
will finally decide which is entitled
to the championship by playing out
a series of six games, each team play-
ing two games with the same team.
In Class B the Navajoes seem to find
their most formidable antagonists in
the Ramblers and Utopians, who are
all strong claimants for the champion-
ship. The Navajos play with such
marked care and precision that seems
to psell championship for them. They
stand 30 games won, 12 lost. The Uto-
pians, 27 games won, 12 lost.
The best individual work is done by
Jenkins and Reimer, who average 184
in 36 and 42 games respectively.

SUNNYSIDE ITEMS. oe
Mrs, A. A. Hawkins and her son
Luther Hawkins returned home
last week.
Mr. Carter Nickels of Roslyn,
Wash., visited the valley this week.
While here he rented a farm and
will move his family down at once.
If they are satisfied with the coun-
try after they are better ac-
quainted with it he intends to buy
and make this place his home.
A Mr. Branch of North Yakima
has moved in and leased Mr. W.
Nickles’ 40 acres of land for a num-
ber of years and will improve it.
At North Yakima on the 12th,
Brother B. R. Gayles died at his
home. Brother Gayles was a man-
ly gentleman, well educated and
respected by all who knew him. He
also was a hard worker and had
the knack to save as well as spend,
thereby coming into possession of
property both in Astoria and North
Yakima, Wash. He leaves his wife,
Mrs. S. S. Gayles, to mourn his de-
parture. She has the best wishes
and sympathy of their many
friends.
Some of the best farm houses to
be seen in Yakima Valley are own-
ed by black men, who ten years
ago did not have that much cash
to start with.
Mr, A. A. Hawkins has moved
into his new house, which is one
of the best advertisements the
Sunnyside country ever had to tell
what a poor man can do if he has
the push.
Mrs. S. S. Gayles of North Yak-
ima is visiting with Mrs. J. L.

AN ODD JOB FORTUNE:
Chicago possesses a citizen who has established a unique line of business that promises to land him among capitalists, besides making him the best known man and the man most in demand in the section in which he lives.
Two years ago this man failed. He was in a small business where he was thrown into competition with concerns with much money behind them and he went to the wall, losing everything he had, including his home and a flat building which he had erected. Practically penniless and without any skilled trade, with nothing open to him except some clerkship, he set about hunting a new line of work—something that would support himself and his family.
Winter was coming on. He began doing "odd jobs" around houses of the suburbanites until he could find something better. Then he was struck with the possibility of making "odd jobs" a paying line of business. He went downtown, interviewed the manufacturers of furnaces, and received instructions in the management of hot air, hot water, and steam heaters.
For two weeks he studied furnaces, especially of the type commonly used in private residences in the neighborhood in which he lived. Then he canvassed the vicinity for blocks, offering to take care of the furnaces, to save the house owners coal, to keep the fire even, and the houses warm, to empty the ashes, and to clean all the snow from the walks. He offered to do this for $6 a month per house, and the suburbanites leaped at his proposal.
As soon as he got control of a furnace, he studied its peculiarities, the drafts in the houses, figured the kind of coal he would use, and then began, giving the satisfaction he guaranteed. He statred out at 5 a. m., made the rounds of the houses, and reached his home again by 9 in the morning. He fierd up again about noon, and again late in the evening, shoveling snow in the intervals. He found that, besides tending to the furnaces, the householders often wanted storm windows put on, or screens removed, or some such work, and each little job like that added materially to his income.
Before Christmas he had sixty places on his list, which meant $360 a month to him—and which forced him to employ an assistant. In the meanwhile, he established a little milk route, selling milk to the people for whom he worked, adding a little more to his income. Now he has an income of nearly $400 a month and pays two assistants fair wages. In the spring he will establish a coal business and make bids to supply his customers with their coal for next winter.
He is planning to guarantee to heat houses with so many tons of coal during the winter and furnish the coal himself at the same rate the big coal companies charge.
With his knowledge of the furnaces he can, he believes, calculate wihin a half a ton of what will be needed for each house, and his idea is to save coal for the householders if they will buy from him. He has transformed "odd jobs" into a science and expects to recover his lost fortunes.
