Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SALARIES YOU READ ABOUT fortune. No man in the United States can honestly earn in a life time the sums these receivers were allowed for a few months work, and it looks a good deal like rerobbing the stockholders, who had already been pretty thoroughly robbed, in order to pay them such fabulous salaries. From the morning paper the following bit of information is taken word for word: "One hundred and forty thousand dollars was yesterday ordered disbursed by Federal Judge Hanford to Receivers Kerr and McGovern and Attorney E. S. McCord for services rendered in the administration of the affairs of the defunct Pacific Packing & Navigation Company and the subsidiary corporation, the Pacific American Fisheries Company, which were declared insolvent in March, 1903. It is currently reported that Receivers Kerr and McGovern and Attorney McCord all figured conspicuously in promoting these fishing concerns, and induced small investors to put in millions of dollars into what proved a rat hole; they were made the attorneys for the concern after it had been floated and put under headway; were still its attorneys when it failed, and, on the grounds of having the business at heart and knowing more about its workings than any one else, were appointed its receivers and attorney by the court. The property of the concern or concerns has been sold by them and after paying some running expenses the court allowed the receivers and the attorney all in sight for their arduous duties, that is to say, for seeing that the small stockholders got soup. So far as the small stockholders were concerned the whole affair had as well gone to the damnation bowwows at the very beginning. The promoters got the investors' money, the promoters got the receivership—and finally the promoters got all in sight. "Of this sum Receiver Kerr was awarded $52,000, Receiver McGovern a like amount, and Attorney McCord the sum of $36,000. Of this the Pacific Packing & Navigation Company pays $35,000 and the Pacific American Fisheries $17,000 each to the receivers, and $26,000 and $10,000, respectively, to the attorney." If Tom Lawson but knew all of the ins and outs to the above he would have material for a chapter in his book of Frenzied Finance, in which there would not be another its equal, not even the life insurance ones. Here are salaries whose equals have never before been heard of west of the Missouri river, and only in rare instances east of it. If a lawyer had the faintest hope of ever receiving such a princely sum for services rendered he would not mind dragging along for half his natural life time on the mere pittance until his day came, when as receiver of some concern he would be given an allowance for his services that would make him independently rich and such a one as only one man in a million make in a life time, even with the best and closest commercial financiering. In a brief filed in the supreme court allegations are made that would make anything in the history of the life insurance investigation look like thirty cents with a hole in it in comparison to the way these fishing concerns were organized, conducted and finally wound up. If the same amount of economy had been used by the promoters as was alleged to have been used by the receivers, who seem to have been one and the same persons, there doubtless never would have been any demand for a receiver. The history of the company briefly stated seems to be as follows: The idea, the perfection, the promotion, the receiving of the investors' money, the bad management, the crisis, the receivers, the frenzied financiering, the report, the balance on hand and, finally, the receivers' "all mine." In this there seems to be much food for thought, which this paper proposes from time to time to bring out. The natural supposition is receivers are distinterested persons, and are appointed by the courts to give all those interested in the concern a square deal. It is always expected that the receivers will be allowed a compensation for their work equal to and even a bit larger than they would ordinarily make in other business for the same length of time, but in this instance the receivers are given salaries, which any man would feel proud of, if he could make as much in a life time, and that too with a small patrimony as a foundation for the VOL.

What a nuisance of a noise some of our citizens are making about the noise nuisance. Many a poor girl is kept busy seeking some worthy man whom she might marry, but Miss Alice Roosevelt has to employ her time denying alleged engagements. The fact that every county in the state is represented in the student body at the University of Washington is evidence that the institutin is progressive as well as popular. The onward march of progress brings its attending changes in all the avenues of life, Pope Pius X finally permitting a telephone to be placed in the vatican is but one of the many changes with which the times are pregnant. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1905 When Milton Franklin Andrews, the murderer of Miss Bessie Burton, shot himself to prevent his arrest by the officers he robbed the courts of their rights, in a way, but he paid the penalty, just the same, that all men ought to pay who seek to live vicious, dishonest lives. The Salvation Army colonization scheme of Gen. William Booth has fallen through owing to England's outcry against sending out of the country a most desirable class. Gen. Booth ought to have consulted a bit with Bishop Turner on the ups and downs of colonization schemes before he tried to materialize his plans. A union Thanksgiving service, in which all of the churches in the city have been invited to join, has been arranged for in the Grand Opera House at 11 o'clock Thanksgiving morning. This is done for the benefit of the Wayside Emergency hospital, an institution as praiseworthy in its work as it is at the present time lacking in funds for maintenance and improvement.

This was more than Pierce and Spokane counties combined. Does that mean that the powers that be in King county are more vigilent in carrying out the law or that King county has an established record for prosperity and hence the criminal class seek it? Evidently Rev. Fletcher L. Wharton's congregation does not know what it really wants. There seems to be a great deal of "wobbling" somewhere, but one thing is sure, if the Dr. were able to infuse into the hearts of his people some of the broad-hearted Christian love for their fellowmen which so strongly dominates his life, there would be no hitch or hindrance of any kind. The publication of marriage statistics brings out the curious fact that among the married couples in Switzerland today there are 8,260 in which the wife is older than her husband, while in 2,352 cases out of these the man is the junior by sixteen years and more. American men run to the other extreme and in eight cases out of ten desire to marry women young enough to pass for their daughters. This has a tendency to class comparatively young women in the "old" list. BOUT EDITORIAL. Hearst was counted out by the McClelland machine, but Jerome has an eye on the ma- chine. 3 If there be a ‘‘race problem”’ in this coun- try no one but those looking for it has ever as yet been able to find it. Sensation hunters certainly got their money’s worth from the Zook-Grover breach of promise suit. It truly furnished food for fools. Was Cole and Murphy found guilty for being caught or for unprofessional prac- tices? Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. There has never been a time in the his- tory of Seattle when affairs at the police headquarters were handled from such a high standpoint. : Municipal ownership may not be the burn- ing issue in Seattle, but it more than held its own in the recent elections in the East. It’s coming; in fact, it’s already in the air. There is hardly an iota of truth in the report that eighteen million people are starv- ing in Russia. The Russian raw-hide and bloody bones starvation uprising reads like a lie. An afternoon sensation says, ‘‘Mayor Bal- linger is in favor of ‘meet ’er’ system.’’ So are we and in fact most all other men, if we are dead certain our better halves will not get on to it. ~ Ballard is in the throes of an annexation election contest. That the annexers will be defeated is a foregone conclusion, but Bal- lard will be cutting off its nose to spite its face in doing so. It is in the power of the Republican city central committee to give Seattle a trial of the direct primary system, and if the mem- bers thereof do not do so it is because the Seattle Electric Company will not permit them. Tacoma’s Democratic chief executive says: “More important business will prevent me from running for the office again,” which may or may not be true, but. there is one thing certain in this decision, Wright is right in not wanting to run. Once the highest ambition of all lawyers was to be judge, not so much for the salary as for the honor, but now the highest am- bition of all lawyers is to be a receiver, not so much for the honor, but for the multi- plied thousands of dollars in it. “‘Polities makes strange bedfellows,’’ runs an adage. . It must when Senators Piles and Ankeny are invited into the pulpit of a Sun- nyside M. E. preacher, and Piles invited to preach. He may be a genuine spellbinder, but we do not think much of him in the role of a preacher. Seth Low has invested $64,000 in real es- tate and it is reported that he will erect THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN thereon a mansion at the cost of $200,000. If a man earns his money honestly, there is no reason why he should not invest it as pleases him best. In this instance the man evidently is not laying very Low concerning the amount his office yielded him, American women are accused of letting their intellectual minds run into pasteboard. In other words card playing is becoming a besetting sin. In that, however, they have none the best of their sisters in London. Re- cent report has it that at a fashionable din- ner party some of the ladies quit the table after the fish e6¥frse in order to secure a bridge table. Fe i A P.-I. head line says, ‘‘1,790 Negroes Enrolled at Tuskegee,’’ just as though there were-even aS many or more Caucasians en- rolled for the same length of time. The world knows if there were any students at all enrolled at Tuskegee they were Negroes without making any explanation. The word Negro seems so sweet for some people to eall. It does not look quite right for the city of Seattle to place the expending of one million dollars in the hands of one man when she has so many more ‘‘as good by nature and far better by practice’’ that could do it just as well. There is no erying demand for these big outlays and when they are eagerly urged by a seleet few it looks as though they have an ax to grind. President Roosevelt is exercising his own and other minds in the interest of humanity in as much as he is endeavoring to rob foot- ball of some of the brutalities which accom- pany it. That accomplished, it is hoped that he will turn his attention to the practice of “hazing’’ in the universities and the inhu- man tortues to which men are subjected when they wish to become members of some of the fraternities. American citizens will soon have another opportunity to serap, grab and rangle. The government will on November 14 open up two townships in Southern Idaho, on a new branch of the Oregon Short Line railway, across what has been until recently a hope- less desert waste. The great irrigating ca- nals which the government is constructing at the cost of more than $3,000,000 will make these lands extremely productive. Wm. Waldorf Astor, one of the largest holders of vreiil*estate*in’ the city of New York, recently came to America and was called upon to pay a $2 tax as an alien. It has been some years since Mr. Astor re- nounced his American citizenship and be- came a British subject. It is surmised that the New York harbor looked good to him, however, and there is no telling what was ‘a way down in his heart.’’ ‘ It does not come as a surprise that an in- dependent theater is to be opened in Seattle. Many have foreseen that such was inevitable and the departure is generally looked: upon as a good one, One thing is sure, the en- terprise could have no abler managers than Russell and Drew to secure its complete suc- FRIDAY, NOV. 10, 1905. cess. Now, if some one will introduce the feature of children playing in dramas for children at matinees Wednesdays and Sat- urdays Seattle will be up to date theatrically speaking. The corporation committee of the city council has decided to grant to the Seattle Electric Company the exclusive right to op- erate street cars on Westlake Boulevard. It was thought by many that, the above public outrage would not be put through until after the next city election, but the powers that be took the bull by the horns, and, with ‘‘the public be damned,’ attempted to put it through at once, and will show the people that they have no rights at all that the Se- attle Electric Company are bound to respect. At the regular Monday evening meeting of the council the measure was brought up, but failed of passage after a desperate battle be- tween the pros and cons. It looks as though the S. E. C. people had miscalculated or they would not have had the matter come up at that time, as it could have waited until after the next regular city election just as well. If the S. E. C. manages to eontrol both the Republican and the Democratic conventions, as it did two years ago, tis assumptions will be quite correct; but in case the people have any show at all in saying who will be candidates, then the company would find it would have to spend an unusual amount of money before it would get things it way, as it now has them. ‘‘It’s a long lane that has no turn,’’ is an old adage, and some day these public outrages will all be talked over _again. The bar committee which investigated the Murphy-Cole embroglio seems to have found Murphy guilty as charged and then with- out justification added ‘‘Cole, too.’’ At the time Murphy made the representations to Cole he, Murphy, was a lawyer of good standing at the bar and under those condi- tions Cole-had no right to say Murphy’s statements of the fact which he laid before him were untrue. If it was customary for lawyers to lie to each other then Cole should have investigated for himself, but ‘such is by no means ruleable, hence Cole, in the opinion of The Republican, was guilty of no wrong. If guilty at all he was-guilty of as grave an, offense as:;was Murphy and should have been recommended for disbarment. the same as Murphy. So “far as Murphy is con- cerned -we have no comments to make, fur- ther than, at some time, we believe, he will prove that he has been taken a dirty advan- tage of ‘by some one. Had it not been for Murphy the divorcee would have been granted to Mrs. Gates months ago, and she and her children would not have received a cent from Gates, for at that time he had nothing, but Murphy fought for the woman and lter little children until he sueceeded in forcing the recreant husband and father to leave them a small fortune, and no sooner did she receive it then she left for Vancouver the next day, where she married another man contrary to our laws and the instructions of the trial judge, and finally she turns against the man who made all of this possible for her. FRIDAY, NOV. 10, 1905. The young men of the city seem to feel the need of organizing a new commercial body for business reasons and to that end a tem- porary organization was first entered into which subsequently became permanent, and the following officers of the enterprise were elected at its -last meeting: President, George H. Revelle; secretary, Homer L. Bull. Both of these gentlemen are well known in the city and it is very generally believed that, as an organization, it will do nothing but what will redound to the good of the city from a commercial standpoint. However, it seems to the casual observer that if those interested in the new organization would have taken hold of the chamber of commerce, which has been in existence for years, and helped to push it along, the one body could have done more good with all pulling together than the two, but the deed is done now and lets hope that both of them will get busy and see to it that the Alaska exhibition for 1907 is a glowing success in every particular.

A laughable story is being told over in Whitman county on Representative Billips, which runs like this: When Mr. Billups was in Olympia making laws for ‘‘my constitu- ents,’’ a number of them who had followed each day’s proceedings thought the body was not doing things fast enough and so they wrote to ‘‘our representative’? and so in- formed him. By return mail they got a re- ply from Representative Billups, notable for its laconieness and it read: ‘‘When you go to pay your taxes next fall you will think awe have been doing entirely too much.”’ In view of the fact the administration is now without sufficient funds to meet the yarious appropriations, it looks as if Mr. Billup was a political prophet. The Republicans of the state had better go slow on their public extravagance lest they come to grief at the next election of state officials.

Owners Seventy-Five Lots Room "C" Haller Building 805 Second Avenue, Seattle POLITICAL POT-PIE The fight for the senatorship to succeed Senator Levi Ankeny has already loomed up in the distance and if Mr. Ankeny succeeds himself it will be after he has had the fight of his life and he will have spent almost as much money in doing so as he did to first get elected, which it is claimed figured up to some $750,000. Senator Ankeny will not be able to control the section of the state in which he lives by a good deal. Eastern Washington is all shot to pieces from a political standpoint and it begins to look at this stage of the game that, it will come to the next legislature supporting at least a half dozen candidates for the United States senatorship. Senator Ankeny, of course, will be the leading candidate and will get votes from various counties, but from the east side he will by no means be able to get as many votes as the opposing candidates. It is not believed at this time that he will get a single vote from Spokane county unless he buys it outright. He has not strengthened himself very much since his election in that county and the fact that the county is now without representation at the national capitol will move them to make some kind of alliance with some one who will either get the senatorship or a member of congress. If, therefore, Spokane will agree to support Jones for the senate and should he be elected he will try to make it possible for Spokane to get a member of congress, and for that reason Ankeny will not get any votes from the county. Then again Charley Sweeney may be in the senatorial race again, and it is reported on very good authority that he will be. If he is and if he be able to control the delegation as he did at the last legislature, he will hardly send a single one of them Ankeny's route on any kind of a deal. "Well, I cannot see how Senator Ankeny can expect any support from Whitman," came from a prominent politician of that county not long since." He has shown Whitman no particular favor since he has been senator and he is identified with that class of politicians that always work against the best interests of the county and, I repeat, I cannot see how he can expect a single vote from the county. The voters for the most part are anti-Ankeny with the exceptions of a few strikers in the city of Colfax, and they have never been able to control but a very small following outside of the city, and not to exceed more than a baker's dozen in the county conventions. While I must admit Whitman is at a loss for a senatorial Moses just now, yet her citizens are keeping a bright eye for a good man to tie to. Whitman is the second largest county in Eastern Washington and if she should combine with Spokane the two would be able to pull fully half of Eastern Washington with them for some man that would be more in harmony with the kind of politics they support. "Well, not much Ankeny from Yakima," came from one of her leading politicians not long since. "I am not sure who the county will support for United States senator, but I feel absolutely certain it will not support Ankeny. It will be remembered that Yakima is the third county in size in this section of the state and with it against Mr. Ankeny THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN and in a combine with Spokane and Whitman he would have some opposition to overcome." When it is possible for one concern in the city to name months before the convention is held who the nominees of such convention will be as can the S. E. C., in case the direct primary system is not put in operation, not only for the dominant party, but for the next strongest party as well, then it looks as though the people have a very slim show at getting anything in the way of nominations that will redound to the general public good. The members of the Republican city central committee have been asked to try the direct primary system and have been asked by the people.

It can be worked, however, even though it was not made a law, and the committee should get its ear to the ground and let the people nominate the next Republican candidates for municipal officials.

The state, like most places where Republicanism was looked upon as a fixture, became the stamping ground for the corporation corruptionist and the people tired of it. Let other Republican strongholds like the State of Washington take warning. THE ELECTION RESULTS of last Tuesday in the East were sweeping in their approval against grafters and corruptionists. The Republican party got all the worst of the deal, but it richly deserved all it got and more besides, for it has permitted the grafter and the corruptionists to fasten their damnable fangs about its vitals and nothing but defeat could convince it that it had drifted from the broad beaten path of justice and reform. The corporations control the party at the present time and believing Theodore Roosevelt would not be a tool in their hands they bent every energy in their power to defeat him for election, but, thank God, he was successful despite the expenditure of their millions of dollars of blood money. He has set the pace for reform and it is being put in operation everywhere. The corruptionists of Greater New York were getting "too much Jerome" and they sought to overthrow him. They controlled the dominant party in that city and he was defeated in its convention. They made it impossible for the Republicans in convention to endorse him and so he became an independent and then the Republicans seeing the hand writing on the wall withdrew their own nominee and endorsed his candidacy and he won over his Democratic opponent in a sweep. Jerome has fought the corruptionists with a vim, and right here, by the way of a political prediction, Jerome will be New York's next governor and he will figure largely in the next presidential campaign. If such men as Folk and Jerome can control the Democratic National convention the odds for them winning at the November election would be unusually favorable. The re-election of Tom Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio, and Eugene J. Shmitz of San Francisco, notwithstanding the fact both of the old parties united against them, show that the people are satisfied with the administration those men as mayors of their respective cities have given them. The corruptionists found it too torrid for them in San Francisco soon after Schnits was first elected and since that time they have been laying underground wires for his defeat, but have always gone down to ignominious defeat. That Tom Johnson is a clean man in politics is shown by him being repeatedly elected as mayor of Cleveland despite the multiplied thousands of dollars put up by the corporation scoundrels to defeat him. And now a word of warning to the Republicans in Seattle. Unless you profit by the experience of your Republican brethren in many cities in the East you will get a similar dose next February that they did last Tuesday. The Seattle Electric Company has been running your politics for a number of years. That company has nominated your councilmen and those councilmen after election have given that company any and everything it has asked for. The streets and thoroughfares of the city have been wrecklessly given away to the Seattle Electric Company for its asking. It has been given the right to rob the citizens and taxpayers in a most high handed manner. There will come a day of reckoning and if you do not read the hand writing on the wall that day of reckoning is coming sooner than you have the slightest idea of. Yea! it will come at your next general municipal election, and you would do well to reverse yourself in nominating candidates for the various positions to be filled for the ensuing two years after your next election. The state of Pennsylvania, notwithstanding the fact it gave Roosevelt the largest majority that was ever given a presidential candidate by any state, almost a half a million, went Democratic last Tuesday simply because the corruptionists controlled the Republican party there. The city of Philadelphia, which has been the hot bed of thieves and corruptionists gave the independent candidate for mayor, John Weaver, who has exposed those red handed robbers and driven them from the city hall, a plurality of 60,000. The Republicans refused to nominate him because he exposed vice and he accepted a nomination on a Citizen ticket with the above results. Let the good work go on. You will have a school election in December and it would be well to begin at that time to break the spell of the corruptionists. He is in Seattle as well as he was in Philadelphia and those of us who have kept any tab whatever on the drift of public affairs know it and know it too well. Let's have a new deal in the school board. Let's have some new blood enjected therein. This does not necessarily mean that there is something crooked in the workings of the school board, but it means a few men seem to be overly anxious to always control the school board, which does not look good for the general welfare of the taxpayers. It smells bad, though it may not be bad. Give us a change. Do it now. The results in Maryland are doubly gratifying, for it not only administered a deserved rebuke to the Democratic bosses and corruptionists, but it defeated the diabolic outrage of disfranchising the Negro voters, which would have been nothing short of a National disgrace. Senator Gorman's pet scheme and hobby goes to the wall like a house afire and may he follow in its wake. Ohio's tremendous Roosevelt majority went glimmery and Pat- FRIDAY, NOV. 10, 1905. considering the proposition made to him to become a candidate to succeed himself. He is still doing so and at the present writing there is every indication that he will reconsider his first avowal on the subject and will accept the nomination if unanimously tendered him. Ballinger has not run the city as the gambling element and their attachees would have him do, but he has run it as near right as one can run a sea coast town like this and if he is renominated he will be supported by the decent people of the town. There is a strong feeling in this as in many other large cities to cut out graft, and while it is a hard proposition to handle, yet it is slowly being wiped out. There has not been much graft reported under the Ballinger administration among the police, and yet under cover it has been going on. Even one day this week it is reported that a notorious Negress in the tenderloin district stole from a man who wanted to see the town nine hundred dollars in cold cash and cut it in two with a policeman, but the fellow began to make such a howl about it that the thief first blew back her half, but still the fellow hollowed, then the policeman was compelled to blow back his half. Such has been periodically reported, but on the whole the city THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN has not had much of such since Tom Delaney has been chief of the police. The reappointment of J. W. Arrasmith as state grain inspector gives general satisfaction among politicians. Mr. Arrasmith is one of the many successful wheat growers of Whitman county, and is well up on the affairs of the office. The appointment has been in the balance for some time, but finally fell the right way. [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. J. W. ARRASMITH.

ALBERT HANSEN 706 FIRST AVENUE Jeweler and Silversmith Established 1883 PERSONAL. Mrs. Daniel Miles died last Saturday night. She had been more or less ailing for a number of years, but her death was wholly unexpected by the members of her family. At the time of her death she was 71 years of age. She was buried last Tuesday afternoon. Dr. T. D. Cardwell, as forecasted in the last issue of The Republican, arrived in Seattle last Saturday morning and at once made preparations to take up his permanent residence here. He will take the medical examination next January in Spokane and entertaining no doubt about being successful in this undertaking of getting a certificate, he is already looking for office rooms. HUMAN ODDITIES. West Point and Anapolis refuse to graduate any one who is unable to swim as a soldier who can not swim is considered so much dead timber. This will eventually make swimming a requirement at several if not many of the colleges. George Childs of Beloit, Wisconsin, has done the unique thing, inasmuch as he not only cooked his daughter's wedding breakfast, but made her wedding gown as well. He was a butler in an English home in his youth and for years practiced the arts of women. Superstition in its greatest extent was recently exhibited when one, Thomas Buckley, who was sentenced to thirteen year for highway robbery and jail breaking pleaded with the Court not to send him down for the hoodoo term, but to make it fourteen years instead. "Remove the prisoner," sternly interrupted the judge, "the sentence stands." A charity worker says that there is no caste of class among the poverty stricken. It seems that when the destitute reach a certain level the various sprinklings of all the people on earth feel that they have one aim in life—a desire to get enough to eat—which makes them kin. Race, color, creed and all else vanishes and in their low estate they reach what others rolling in luxury have failed to recognize—the brotherhood of man. In the constant search for novelty in social entertainment the society leaders are apt to verge upon the ridiculous. A dinner given in London furnishes the latest. A piano placed in the dining room, and at the table first a chair and then a vacancy. The guests entering the room, struck up a cake walk around the table. As soon as the music stopped each of the ladies sat down in the chair nearest her. Chairs for the gentlemen were brought forward later. Clubs of every kind imaginable have been born and have flourished, but the Grandmothers' Club, which came into life about twelve years ago, seems to THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN go on without hurt or hindrance. Since it was organized ten members have died and four have become great grandmothers. A triple turn from a spring-board at the Hippodrome in New York, is the latest acrobatic feat on record. Dan O'Brien, a tumbler, achieved this the feat of his life, but he says he does not wish to repeat it. "I lost my brain sense after the second turn and expected to land on my head or on the back of my neck, so the double turn is enough for me hereafter," says O'Brien. The inventor of the hoop skirt, M. Auguste Person, is dead at the age of over seventy. Distended skirts were in fashion before Person's day, and it was while working in his employers shop that the idea of using steel hoops connected by tape bands occurred to him. He patented his idea and sold it to his employer for which he realized a comfortable sum. It is to be hoped that his hoop idea has, however, died with him. The time is fast rolling round when a man will have no idea what manner of looking girl he is marrying. There are pads for the hips, teeth for the mouths, hair for the heads and straight fronts for them all. Now comes means by which any woman may secure maidenly blushes. It consists of a tiny glass bottle containing a "minim" of amyl nitrite. This is wrapped in cotton-wool with a linen covering, and when the glass is snapped by the fingers the volatile drug soaks into the covering for inhalation. Amyl nitrite is, in its serious medical aspect, a powerful heat stimulant. Incidentally its effect is to raise a vivid blush, and the compact cottonwool and glass covering offers singular opportunities for its use in this connection. Ladies by concealing four or five of these in a dainty handkerchief find them a valuable addition to their battery of charms, for they are warranted to make a veteran of ten seasons blush at the selected moment like a debutante. "The sun never stood still," says W. A. Schaper, professor of political science of the State University of Minn. "Natural law gives no sanction to such a phenomenon. Man's law may be violated, but this law of nature has never been trespassed against. "If the sun stood still for a day there would be such an eruption in the universe that the earth would be entirely wiped out." A stage driver, Mel Whitter of Mooretown, Cal., has had the adventure of his life time. Forest fires were raging over an area of forty miles square through which his route lay. He decided to take the United States mail through. Two passengers were on the inside of his coach. His worse fears were realized before he reached his destination; his arms were blistered, and his hair singed while the horses' hair was in places burned close to their hides. The blinds being down protected his passengers. ```markdown ``` Grah EXCEPTIONAL S About sixty Suits in all, made of the colors blue, black, tan, green, gray jacket and long coat styles, some ity.

The crop was prolific and Williams, who knew nothing of making "lasses," found himself in a peculiar predicament. The pastor of the Methodist church at Collinsville, Ill., announced his intention of "hewing close to the line," and it thereafter followed that his Sunday school teachers were questioned about card playing, theatres and dancing. When the new list for the conference year was made out those who admitted that they indulged in these amusements were left out, whereupon twenty-five women left the church, and what might be called the Sunday school teachers' strike was on. Woman Strikes Oil Gusher. The best strike ever made in the oil fields of Kentucky is that of a woman operator, Mrs. M. O. Russell, of Bloomington, Ill., who has been engaged in working oil properties for some months.

The other one, of which some- thing briefly will be said at this time, is in Benton and Kittitas counties. About a year ago, it will be remem- bered, quite a’few colored families left Seattle and moved on homesteads in the aforesaid counties, on which they had previously made homestead filings, and chief among them was Dr. Samuel Burdett, the well known Seat- tle veterinary surgeon and politician. The lands on which they located were so high on the mountains that even the local paper at Prosser ridiculed the move on the part of the Negro home- hunters, but the newspapers do not al- ways know it all, as subsequent de- velopments have shown. In the neighborhood of forty Negro families got claims in the immediate and surrounding country mentioned above and began at once to improve and cultivate the land that they could call their own. One of these homesteaders, Rev. J. D. Pettigrew, who was without any farm experience whatever, has seeded 150 acres of his quarter with winter wheat from which, if he only realizes 20 bushels of wheat to the acre, he will be more ahead for a year’s work than he would have been had he worked or preached the year and received a salary of $2,000 for his labors. Others, if not all of them, are doing just as has Mr, Pettigrew, and if the price of wheat holds up in another year as last, each and every one of them will be on Hasy Street. The lands on which this settlement was located, in the absence of summer water,,are only good for winter wheat, but under irrigation it grows well any and every vegetable, fruit and plant indigenious to the Northwest. There is no immediate prospect of irrigating water for their lands, but the National Government has under consideration the building of a highland ditch in that section, which, if done, would cover every foot of these settlers’ lands, which will make them worth not less than $100 per acre. The home- steader who gets only a sustenance from his lands until the ditch comes and then sells out at a good price will have realized more cash money for the time he had to wait than a paker’s dozen colored men of the city working every day of their life at good wages. To wait on growing property always pays well in the long run. The natural home of the Negro, whether North, South, East or West, is on the soil. Not so much hecause he is lacking in ability to master the arts and even sciences, but because the opposition to him entering those avenues of trade is so decisive on the part of all of the other nationalities in this country that it is next to im- possible for him to do so. As an il- lustration, there is nota machine shop, lumber mill, foundry, factory, in short, not an industrial concern in Greater Seattle in which, if a man or woman is known to have a drop of Negro blood in his or her veins, that will give them a minute’s work. In not only Seattle, but all western cit- ies Negroes are forced to do anything and anybody that comes their way in order to keep the wolf from the door. If the above statement is wholly, or THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN natural home of the Negro is on the soil, where he can raise all he needs for immediate family wants and as much else as lies within his physical power without opposition from any one, which produce will be bought on the markets by the very men who fight his becoming their labor com- petitor as readily as if produced by one of them. Lets hope that in the State of Wash- ington there will spring up a still greater desire on the part of the Ne- groes to get homes on farms, where they can live at their ease and where union labor never dares to venture lest it gets too far from its “stiner” or. agitation hall. “Arizona,” the greatest of all New York successes, has been secured by Manager Cort for the Grand next Thursday. Congratulations are cer- tainly in order, for “Arizona” is an elevating as well as a fascinating play, its story being that of love, honor and duty. It is the story of a rancher’s daughter marrying an elderly cavalry Colonel, and tiring of his inattention, she plans, or rather is forced to sub- mit to the planning of Capt. Hodge- man to flee with him and leave the stifling sands of Arizona, forever. The plan is balked by the daring conduct of Lieut. Denton, the special friend of the husband, Col. Bonham. As to be expected, the situation turns against Denton and Hodgeman escapes for the time being even the suspicion of guilt, only to receive his just deserts in the end. “Peggy From Paris.” “Peggy from Paris,” a George Ade musical comedy which will be at the Grand, starting next Sunday, is dis- tinguished not alone for its wit but for its originality and its many novel- ties. One of the latter which is of striking interest to persons unitiated behind the scenes of a theatre, is the setting of a stage in full view of the spectators. This process is carried out in reality not in pretense. One set of scenery is “struck,” which is the the- atrical expression for removed, and another scene is set in place or “made,” and all in plain sight of the audience. It is actually a part of the action of the play. The scene represents the preparation of the stage of the Para- gon Theatre in Chicago for the recep- tion of a distinguished foreign singer. ‘The stage hands rush in, and under the guidance of the stage manager per- form their allotted tasks. The prop- erty men “clear” and “set” props. The signal is given for lights, then at the proper indication the orchestra strikes into a melody. This setting of the stage is carried out in detail pre- cisely as if it were behind a lowered curtain. It is an object lesson of un- failing interest to all those who are not familiar with those mysterious regions behind the scenes. What a tonic for the ills of human life a good laugh is? If you don’t believe it, go to the Third Avenue Theatre some night this week—if you haven’t already been there—and watch the audience how they do enjoy “Hap- py Hooligan’s Troubles.” You would think they never knew a care in the world, and old and young try to outdo each other at laughing, at what? Non- sense? yes nonsense; But this is what goes to make up life, and is realised THEATRICAL. “Arizona.” by both sexes of all ages, so let the boys and girls go to see Happy Hooli- gan, and go yourself if you want to laugh. There is going to be a children’s show at the Third Avenue Theatre next week—the Williams Juvenile Opera Company. It is not a stranger within our gates, but it contains some of the cleverest, prettiest and most talented totts that have ever been gathered to- gether for the purpose of presenting light opera, and every one who loves music will enjoy the two operas they will present during the Seattle en- gagement. “Rajah of Pazala” and “Tips,” so if you spend your money it wont cost much and you will find that each of the Williams Opera Com- pany’s performers is a bargain, and a good one. ee DREN 4 Yellowstone Whiskey Clarke’s Pure Rye |M. & K.
