for part of the session, until in fact, he had
accomplished the object that had induced his
candidacy, and that was TO vote for
Hitchcock for United States senator. On the
final count 0f.the vote for state senator, the
seat was awarded to Kennedy but in the in-
term the election of United States senator
had been accomplished.
AS reward for this work, POttinger was
appointed register of the land Office at Salt
Lake, from which he was removed on account
of the bitter feelings of the Mormons against
him, which animosity arose out of some of his
decisions on land mat ters
Pottinger was rSonally and morally hon
est, so all his old cOnferes hold, but was one
of those men who thin that all is honest and
fair in politics as well as love and war
He was fond of a joke, and fonder of per-
perating one, and many a MAJ, has felt the
sting of his keen satire and quick repartee.
This is told of him.
Schoenheit was IA prominent lawyer of
Falls City, at least so Schoenhcit himself
thought, and he never failed to make himself
heard and visible, too, on occasiona of pu bile
meetings. He met and was introduced to
Pottinger at Lincoln during his contest with
Kennedy for the seat of state senator
"Ah Mr.. Pottmger,n exclaimed Schoen-
heit, i've often heard of you, but l never
saw you beforer'
"Ah Mr.. SchOenhcit," and Pottinger
opened his small, squinty eyes and looked
into the face of the great man from Richard
son county. "Ha, ha, he, he" laugh of
Pottiu gers when about to mas sticate delic-
1ous morscl, "l've often seen you, MIR.

One bitterly cold day" said an old
traveller 70 the Seattle Morning Journal
reporter, "we-a shipload Of us-were
lying at the wharf at Astoria. The
river was frozen we were waiting for the
ice to break. Astoria, on its inuumera-
be piers, with It's dull store houses and
its scattered houses struggling up the
bills among the burnt pines, does not
offer many attractions TO the tourist a
any time. When It is buried in snow It
Is desolate. The long days we're un-
broken by any event The ice seemed
to be getting frmer, We were perish
ishiug with epHUi That Is how we
got TO watching the crows These poor
things were dying Of starvation and
they could not resist the temptation TO
hover about the ship They could not
get the food out of the water, but stood
on the blocks Of ice and looked en-.
viously down into the waves at the
drifting bits of refuse. The poor black
wretches coulk not stand still on the
ice OF their feet would have frozen fast,
50 they shifted from one leg to another
in a manner which gave them the ap.
peafance of dancing.
"All about with screams and Tapping
OF wings, flew a flock Of gulls, snatch
ing the food from the water and fight
ing in fierce good fellowship Soon we
noticed a sort Of understanding between
the black birds and the white ones.
For a while the sable birds pranced
and danced surrounding them, picking
up bits Of food and depositing them
within reach Of their starving neigh
bors. And we all looked and wondered
to see dumb creatures helping each
other in their sore distress, and pom
dered on the language Of those creatures
we arrogantly call dumb"
