NOT ONE FOR CALKINs.
Democrats Destroy the Last Hope o
the Ocosta Claimant.

democrats Destroy the Last hope OF
the Ocosta Claimant.
Tacoma Correspondence Spokane Spokesman.
The Calkins boom has received another black
eye. He told your correspondent the other day
that he would be elected by the Democrats, also
intimating that that was his only hope.
"Judge calkins expects to receive the benefit
of the strength of your party" was suggested to
the Hon. Thomas Carroll today.
"Yes." he replied, "Pve heard of his claims,
but they don't weigh much"
"After the first ballot, should there be more
than one, viii not the Democrats stampede and
some of them vote for Calkins?"
"Most emphatically, no."
"How long will the partv remain united?"
"Until the Republicans shall have chosen
their senator. If our men voted for Calkins,
what would be the result? Why our organiza-
ton, now in good condition, would be fatally
shattered. had good reason for accepting the
nomination for congress a few months ago, and
working as hard for the Office as If expected to
get it. There was the same chance of my being
elected there was of my being struck by
lightning before finish this sentence. i was
well aware of that, but ! went all over the state
and conducted laborious campaign, for was
perfecting the organization OF the Democracy all
the while. Now, ii we were to vote for Re-
publican, our last years work would benefit us
nothing. Suppose at our last state convention
we had adjourned without nominating a con-
gresham for the reason that we could not elect
him. Such a course is identical with going to
Olympia and voting for Republican senator.
We can't send a Democrat to Washington this
term and surely we will not help the Repub-
icans. The Democratic members of the legisla-
ture will select man and vote for him to the
end, leaving the Republicans to fight their own
battle"
sit has been said that the Democratic men,
bers from Pierce county would vote for Calkins
or else work for him."
"That is impossible. I don't know of any
good Pierce county Democrat who is willing to
commit political suicide. The time is coming
when some of our coming men will want to
stand up on their records They will not be I'M
tainted if they act unwisely during this coming
contest"
SHOW about this man Gavigan, who, posing
as Democratic leader, is working for Judge
Calkins?"
ale is not about here for his health and is re-
pudiated by all reputable Democrats of any
standing"
Mr.. Carroll is well informed on the situation
and in position TO express these sentiments
and TO deny that Judge Calkins viii be helped
to any extent or in any manner by the Demo
Gratis. A popular leader of the Democracy has
advices from a number of the members of the
legislature pledging themselves TO Mr.. Carroll
and declaring that they will vote for him till
the end

BRIGHT NORTHWEST NEWS.

News is received in Goldendale of the killing
OF Indian Jim, who lived on the Big Khckitat.
Jim was noted deer hunter, and there has
been considerable complaint because he slaught-
cred so many deer at all seasons of the year.
Last week Jirn's body was found out on Grey
back mountain with bullet hole through il,
and the supposition is that some one killed him
TO keep him from killing game.
Still geese are scarce. There have been none
fiying in this region TO amount to anything this

Dr. Justin, of dynamite shell fame, is worthy
exemplar of Yankee persistence. Twice he ex.
perimented in public on the line OF his pet the
DRY, but in both instances made lamentsble
failures; once with narrow and almost miracu-
lous escape from disastrous consequences But,
not one whit discouraged, he hesitated not to
keep trying. And, on the 10Th instant he
reaped his reward by thoroughly successful
experiment at Perryville Falls, New York. Three
shells, weighing 275 pounds each and carrying
seven and half pounds OF dynamite were
thrown with perfect effect at a target Evil

he knew he was right, and was not to be daunted
by accidents. He belongs to the class who con.

Theodore Roosevelt has locked horns with
Ward McAllister on the society question. Re
ferring TO Wards set he says: I'VE have all heard
of the New.York aldermen and the constituent

Tom Carroll disposes promptly OF the boast
that Mr.. Calkins is to get the support of Demo-
Gratis in the legislature. Mr.. Carroll says plainly
that the Democrats cannot afford to vote for a
Republican. They have no hopes this year, but
they have hopes in the future. They must pre-
serve their organization and show the people
that they are in the fight with determination

How tsPinafore'' Was Written,

W. s. Gilbert, the dramatist, writes in the small hours of the morning. be. ginning work at midnight, and often keeping on until after the sun has risen. Like many literary men his vein of composition will not flow by day, requiring candle light to stir ii into activity. In preparing libretto he goes slowly but surely.
 Hitting upon one of his character. istic ideas, he turns it over in his mind during many long walks and solitary cogitations, adding circumstances and incidents as they occur to him. Then he makes rough skeleton sketch oi the plot, which he puts away.
 A few weeks later this skeleton is carefully written out in extenso, with such additions and improvements as may have occurred to him meanwhile. This, too, is shelved for awhile, but ultimately the perfect framework is made, which only needs-if such ex- pression is allowed-the wedding to it of the dialogue and songs. ".
 It is at this stage that Sir Arthur Sullivan comes upon the scene, for the writer has to keep the musician s needs in view, and the composer must bear the writer in mind. The writing of one of their famous operas entails much labor and endless consultation upon the collaborators. Playwright and composer often see the morning come in at the windows while they si1 over cigars and cigarettes, discussing with the most anxious care points which to others might seem of little moment. But 1t is to this untirinp industry and care that they owe much of their success4 s4-Sheff1s TSlsRrsph.

BERKSHZRE COUNTY.

The annual parade and inspection of the Pittsfeld tiremen was held October 2, and attracted quite crowd to the streets.
 Miss Frances N. Rossman, of North Adams, who has been an invalid two years, suffering from 8 nervous trouble, felt something sharp Tn her elbow the other evening and on examination dis covered the points of two fine cambric needles protruding through the skin. She succeeded in withdrawing them in- tact from her arm and the doctors think they may have been the cause of her illness.
 Six conventions were held at Chester last Wednesday. The democratic con- gressional convention nominated John c. Crosby of Pittsfeld. The democrat ic councillor district convention nomin- ated Benjamin Franklin Phillips of Sheffield The democratic senatorial convention for the Berkshire Hampshire district nominated Henry A. Kimball, of Northampton. The prohibition coun- cillor convention nominated Rev George Fl. Clark of Chicopee. The prohibition ist congressional convention nominated Dr John Bascom of Williamstown. The prohibitionist senatorial convention nominated B. s. Johnson of Hayden vile.

The Brooklyn Bridge Cable.

Proof of the degree of dependence of the public upon the slender wire rope known as. the bridge cable has been more than once afforded. Per haps the> sustaining power of rope has never been more. carefully watch ed. Upon the faintest indication of weakness in any part a new piece is put in, and when the rope has been worn until 1t is generally reduced the whole is removed and sold. A relief cable is kept'constantly in place ready to be rigged at an hours notice, and a brand new one, with it's more than two miles of length wound about an enormous drum, is kept all the time on the dock below the Brooklyn end of the structure. One end of it is carried up to the bridge and fastened there, so that the briefest possible time may be required in an emergency in stretch ing it. An interesting fact in connec- ton with the use of new cables on the bridge is that after a fortnight's use their length increases from seventy five to one hundred feet. The cause of this is mainly the compression of the cable, which has a hemp center, by the grips, thus occasioning the ofoneation. When the cable gets too 1dae piece is cut out and the ends

Thoughts Afterward.

Tommy T- one year resolved that he would keep the Fourth of July for three successive days, and his chum, Rodney, agreed to help him. A leaf from Tommy's diary will explain, with sufficient clearness, why they abandoned the idea:
 "July 5: Sat up so late last night that 1 didn't wake till g. Mamma let me sleep. Said, when asked her why, .that she wished next year I'd go to sleep July and not wake till today. I wonder why! Meant to go over to Rod- ney's, but my face is all tied up where the powder went into my cheek, and my two fingers smart so I can't use 'em. Very hard to write with my left hand.
 Afternoon: Rodney's mother has come over to see what mamma puts on for bruises. She says Rodney's black and blue where the gun kicked him. I guess we shall put off our celebrating Fourth of July Is good deal of fun, but most of the fun comes beforehand" /" Youths Companion

Agricultural Notes.

Seventeen year locusts have appeared in several places in New York state, to the great surprise of State Entomologist Lintner, who says they were not due until 1894.
 A paragraph going the rounds is to the effect that no worm or insect Is ever found upon the eucalyptus tree. A row of trees planted through an orchard or vineyard will cause insects, worms and caterpillars to vacate that region.
 Tests made at the Wisconsin station with seed potatoes, taken as a whole, favor heavy rather than light seeding. Cutting off the seed end was found detri- mental to the yield. No advantage fol- lowed sprinkling the cuttings with plas- ter before planting.
 Says The Iowa State Register: Iowa is the first state in the Union in value of farm animals-$ $201 ,592 ,61O; second in cattle values, first ill hog values, second Ia horse values, second in milk COWS, but first in all combined. Our state is only twenty-ffth in sheep.

An In.ect Iniurious to Cora.


 Entomologist Weed thus briefly sum- marizes the life history of the destruc- tive white grub:
 It is the young or larva of the con- mon May beetle or June bug. During May and June these brown beetles de- posit small whitish eggs about the roots of grass. These eggs hatch into small brown headed grubs that feed upon the roots about them. They continue feed ing for three seasons, when they are full grown. They then form an oval cell in the soil and change to the pupa state and soon after again changeto adult beetles. The change to the pupa and beetle state sometimes occurs in the fall so that the beetles may be eturned up dur ing late fall or early spring blowing, but generally it does not occur until spring. It breeds especially in grass lands and often ruins pastures and mead ows, while crops on sod land are very frequently destroyed. The insect is one of the most difficult pests to fight of its class, but the experiments made for the station in southern Ohio last summer were convincing that by high cultiva- ton and high fertilizing the ravages ot the white grub can be overcome.
