WHITE TURKEys.-A short term of
years ago, albino turkeys were a nov
city in Western Washington and were
regarded by many poultry-dealers
simply as the outcome of fortuitous
breeding. Now, however, they are
raised in large numbers all over the
Puget Sound country and are making
their way to the front at every re.
currence of the holiday season. Mag
nificent specimens of these beautiful
creatures can be seen any day in and
about the Olympia markets. Their
flesh is said to be remarkably sweet
and savory.

Mr.. Nelson should aspire to such
distinction is not so remarkable as
the unique method he has adopted to
attain the object OF his ambition.

at hrst glance that he was merely
pursuing his customary practice OF
wire pulling for denomination for his
aldermanic chair, but this course
would be almost as premature as the
aim which is now inspiring his
efforts, as he was elected but q year
ago, and his term runs for q year
from the coming municipal election.
But Nelson. as stated, has q loftier
purpose. He wants to be mayor.
Proud Boss.. Alresds.
Nelson claims to have the unoual-

iieves, will come down solid for him.

neighbor. Kennedy, for the upper

particularly interesting. in that they
have become hated rivals. and the

In the meantime Nelson has his

will not affect the situation In Crete
The powers having been guaranteed
the safety of the Mussulman popula-
ton. they will continue their efforts to

embassy here believe from the wording
of Edhem Pashas dispatches 10 the
Turkish government that the Greeks
will make no great stand until the
Turks reach Larissa where the main
battle. IL is thought. will he fought.
This seems probable, as Prince con-
