Downing Spokane, both defaulting
treasurers, and two others, Krug of Sc

evil doors.
THE West Coast Trades fifth annu-

ual editor to be proud of. 1t consisted
OF 40 pages in book form and was en-
bellished with neat cover in colors.
Although devoted mainly to Tacoma
institutions and review of the bust

ACCORDING to the Olympian the first
ballot for United States senator will be
taken On Tuesday, January 10, in each
house separately. On the following
day the two houses will meet in Joint
session at II o'clock, noon, and a Joint
ballot will be taken, to be followed by
other ballots until choice is made or
an adjournment taken. In the latter
event the joint session will re-convene
at II o'clock, noon, the following day
and on each succeeding day until a
choice is made. We predict the Sena-
torlal problem will worry our populist
friends decidedly before it is out of
the way and in the end will be not
unlike the former senatorial scrambles.

SENATOR Squire, who is coming
down to Olympia next week, to buy
himself a senatorship, has circulated
a pamphlet telling about his services
to the country, and containing the en-
dorsements Of the Pop. senators in
Washington. Watty has several
strings to pull, but we think his Doodle
will be his eternal damnation before
the new moral legislature. Geo. Tur-
ner, the gold mining magnate of Spo-
kane is also on the ground willing to
spend a good sized fortune to "git
thar" Poor but honest Pops. like
Range and "Slippery" Dick Winsor of
King, Chairman Baker of Pierce, Far
mer Todd and host of other candi-
dates have got to getin their fine work,
and keep out of temptations way if
they clean out Squire and Turner.

A corps of special writers were
engaged nearly month in pre-
pairing the matter, which covered all
the subjects relating to the progress of
Washington, its resources and It's in
dustries. Each county was specially
covered by short special article, and
every thing was treated fully and fair
iy Nothing could be better TO send to
persons in the East who wish to know
