and all alike. also declare myself to
be in favor of United States senator
from western Washington, believing the
western part of this state has men fully
capable of discharging the duties of this

both being from the same city aud county

A. HEASANT TRIP.


The NEWSPAPER men OF the state of
Washington enjoyed splendid meeting
of the State Press Association at Spokane
last week, for which thanks are mainly
due to the Northern Pacific Railway Co.,
which issued over $1,000 worth of trans
portation in favor OF the editors and their
wives on that occasion.
A feature OF the meeting was very
pleasant trip across the beautiful Occur
d'Alene lake on the steamer Georgia
Cakes, and up the river OF the same
name. The day was rather smoky and
cloudy, but through the occasional riffs
in the clouds could be seen glimpses Of
scenery that we're indeed beautiful.
There were about 800 persons in at
tendance, every one of whom will re-
member with much pleasure the Spo-
kane Press Clubs cordial entertainment
in that city, and the excursions it planned
for the guests pleasure.

THE PRIMARIES.

The fusion hosts in Yakima county
turned ont 10 large numbers at last Sat.
urdav's primaries, which indicates bet Ter
than anything else could the deep inter-
est that is being taken in the coming
campaign. There was not an unpless-
ant episode in a single precinct, absolute
harmony prevailing every where, and the
outlook is that the conventions to be held
next Saturday will be free from all dis
cord and full of determination to carry
forward the reforms already begun.
The taxpayers of this county are more
than pleased at the record made by the
present fusion officials, and have no de.
sire to change back to the g. o. p. Let
the best men be put forward, regardless
of whether they are seeking to put them
selves forward or not. and the people who
favor economical rule and reform will
carry them to overwhelming victory next
November.

SHAME!

Patriotism burns as trus in the heart
of an American as in any other heart on
the globe, and with nation Of over sixty
millions ready to do honor and give re-

that those heroes should be cared for in
the miserable way in which they have
been.
Much has already been said of the
awful transport ships with scsnt supplies
into which our brave boys were crowded.

was selected as the camp of GONZALES

against it. The only reason offered for
its selection was that q certain railroad

There Was a shortage of attendance at
