els Senator PLAIN really out of poll
tics?" That's question none but the
democratic statesman at Milton can
answer. His friends hope he isn't.
John Rylance finds that it's the wish of
his friends that he endeavor to succeed
himself as register of deeds for another
term. So far he has no opposition in.
side of the party lines.
East Alma has candidate for county
treasurer in Hon. John Mcbride, but
whether that gentleman has accepted
the bait has not been learned. He is
certainly fitted to fill the position.
Chairman Boyd, of the democrats, does
not deny that the ticket makers want him
to enter the senatorial race this fall. Joe
is one of the outspoken democrats that
are useful as we'll as ornamental.
Jim Mcintosh has whole lot of friends
in Harvey who would like to have a
chance to give him their vote for sheriff.
He's staunch republican-w here be-
fore the mountain and amt had thing
yet.
Milton has republican candidate for
treasurer in Ole Axvig who thinks the
job would about suit him. This is the
office on which candidates bunch pretty
badly-so perhaps Ole might have to let
go his hold.
It the office of states attorney goes to
the pops it's dead certainty that w. j..
Thompson will be the nominee, and the
way his Milton friends talk he would be
likely to gather up quite few outside
votes down that way.
Rumor has it that the republicans have
Joseph Powers slated to make the race
against Rylance for register Of deeds.
The nomination seems to be seeking Joe,
but he is not the kind of fellow that
has to trot his first heat.
Frank Mercer is an avowed candidate
for the sheriffalty and is making a big
effort to secure the depocratic nomina-
tion. Why shouldn't he have 1t? He's
been a good citizen here for 'steen years
and it's the first thing he has asked for.

The office of coroner Is no longer caus-
ing the democrats anxiety since Dan Nc
Gruer withdrew from the race to accept
the position Of religious editor on the
Hannah Moon. DR.. Gibson will otficiate
at the inquest of the republican corpse
next Novemb er- as usual-prior to ship
ping it up Salt creek for burial.
Since the first gun of this falls cam
paign was fired the friends of John l..
Robertson have been suggesting his
candidacy for sheriff. John is one of the
most earnest and consistent advocates of
party principal in the county and the
unanimous vote Of confidence awarded
him by all parties two years ago in his
candidature for county treasurer demon
strates that his name would add both
honor and strength to the ticket.

That outspoken Milton republican,
John Mears, is likely to bob up as can
didate for sheriff another Office for which
there are countless aspirants.
1t would not be an awful big surprise
if Attorney No1gaard made the run for
states attorney on the republican ticket.
The party is willing to sacrifice this Office
in the shuttle.
Hon. James. Dobie may be prevailed
on to accept fusion nomination on the
legislative ticket. He certainly would
have the confidence of all democrats
which means election in this district.
The voters of Olga will ask the demo-
Gratis on convention day how John L.
McNeill would do for sheriff. He has al
ways worked for the ticket and has been
in the county long enough to earn recog-
milton.
The growth OF the German vote in
Cavalier county the past few years has
been phenomenal. Their vote has al.
ways been found in the right column and
it is full time they we're given recognition
on the ticket.
An able and CONSCIENTIOUS court hous Q
official that it will take mighty good
republican to beat is Judge Dorval. The
office of county judge, however, is now
considered by broad minded people as one
that should not change hands frequently.
Fred. w. Mclean most emphatically
denies the rumor Which awhile back had
him in the field for the states attorney
ship. He neither seeks that or anything
else at the hands of the people as he can
find more than enough to do these days
looking after his practice.
The west side Of the county has an as
pirant for the treasurership in Dune
Crerar who is quite likely to show sur
prising strength on the floor of the con-
vention. The winning ticket has to seek
western Cavalier county statesmen this
year and delegates might go long way
and find worse material.
There is no denying the fact that none
of the horde OF republican office seekers
this fall are making eny great effort to
relieve Co. Auditor Work of his job next
January. His splendid run two years
ago is among the things the republicans
recognize as stayers. Bob will undoubt
edly do business at the old stand without
interference, for another term at least.
AS the time of holding county conven-
tions draws on, it looks as If Sheriff Nc
Gauvran has pretty good show OF cap
turing the republican domination for
treasurer. His four years record as
sheriff does not seem to handicap his
candidature. He would make vigorous
run-only the republicans don't happen
to have enough votes to elect him and
this is an off year for republican
aspirants, anyhow.
Clerk of Court, Truax, the strongest
vote getter the county has and party
worker of honesty and ability, will again
put his shoulder to the wheel this fall to
help roll up one OF those old time demo.

Monday afternoon the funeral SER
vices of Mrs. Jennie Freitag, who died
last week at her home in Baker City,
Oregon, took place at the family resi-.
dence of deceased, on Fourth and
Jefferson streets, in this city, con-
Quoted by Rev. j. L. Thompson, of the
Presbyterian church. Mrs. F. was
born in Burlington, Iowa, April 30th,
1873, and came with her parents to
this city number of years ago. She
was united in wedlock to L. E. Freitag
April 18th, 1897, and left with her
husband for Baker City, whittier he
had preceded her from this city and
founded IA business, that of jeweler.
Mrs. Freitag was held in high es-
TEEN in her new home, and her re.
mains were attended to the train by a
large concOurse of friends and MEM
bers of Queen City camp of Wood
men, OF which her husband was an
honored member. The demonstra-
ton here was scarcely less marked
in memory of her girlhood. Olympia
Camp No. 179 of Woodmen, the local
camp of Modern Woodmen, the Olym-
pia Cornet Band, and many citizens
turning out to pay the last sad tribute
to her memory. Interment was made
In Odd Fellows cemetery.
Mr.. Freitag and deceased's family
request us to express their sincere
thanks to the lodges, the band, and the
kind friends who have demonstrated
so warmly their friendship and sympa-
thy in their deep afiiction.

Not q Matter Of Contest.

Oily in his comments on the matter
OF granting liquor license to Gibbons
& Higgs, by the City Council, at its
last meeting on an application that had
been refused at a previous meeting, at.
tempts to ascribe motives to the acting
Mayor which are not borne out by facts.
1t is true that, he was individually op-
posed to granting the license to one of
the applicants for reasons satisfactory
to himself, but that he used the
leverage" of his temporary occupa-
ton of the chair to take any unfair
advantage of the majority is not true.
1t is certainly proper to insist that an
application be submitted to the Coun-
Gil and formally referred before it is
reported to that body, and this was
done. But that "look of satisfaction"
which the report says beamed on the
countenance of the acting Mayor,
when he made this ruling, could not
have been manifested, for had the dis
position existed to delay the matter,
it could have been done by strict par
liamentary aids. The application had
not become a matter of record, in a
parliamentary sense, and the order of
business had been passed for consider
alton of reports OF committees. The
remote probability that the Council
would fail to sustain the acting Mayor
on appeal from his decision, would
have impelled him to Use all these
aids if he had been disposed to be
captious. The simple fact is that
it was recognized that clear major
ity was favorable to granting the H.
cense, and the acting Mayor went no
further than casting his vote in oppos-
ition. Had he made his objections
matter of personal canvass with the
membership, there is but little doubt
that he would have been sustained.

It's Written in the Clouds

Both moral and political ccono-

!iic> rather than what most people are
prone I" cali inevitable destiny. Two
troNc.nur> ri Washington have failed

because they failed To- seize upon the
pr"iteled golden opportunity in the
nich 81 time The predecessor OF the
present incumbent thought it would
Toe the winning course to cater to the
good cracc- al Il few " hale fellow, well
met, rather than serve with official
integrity and laithiulncss the grca,

the rank and file of our sovereign
commonwealth. Blinded by the blaze
oi political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, he ruled
the Capitol Commission with a rod Of
iron, until he violated every principle
d right and Justice to the utter dis
guest 81 the people. The end came
and he lost his prospective job, the
Senatorship.
When his acoidency stepped into
Aot;rAw's sioc> the people were prom
ised an administration of affairs that
would result in casting old grievances
aside and making all things new. 1t
was promised that the 500 900 founda-
ton for a capitol building should be
Immediately and lcgitimatcly utilized

which should he in keeping with the
honor and renown of our beloved
State. But all this proved to be only
blind to catch votes.
Official depravity, corruption and
rottenncss prevailed again and the bill
passed for the completion of the capt.
tol was murdered in cold blood by the
Nero in the executive chair. Bills for
the maintenance of the two principal
normal schools in the State were also
rnthlessly killed, only to subserved
certain local interests in other por-
tions of the State.
But once more, as we verify believe,
the finger of Divinity has been at work
to the utter overthrow of evil intent
and purpose. That venerable precept,
" Man proposes, but God disposcs," has
again been most signally verified, and
another miserable wretch has gone to
his merited doom.
Instead of going to Washington as an
honored Senator, as he might have
done, had he acted fairly and honestly,
his shriveled up accidency will, in the
fullness of time, sunk into everlasting
opprobrium and oblivion. Just as
truly as stencil follows a retreating
chicken-stealing polecat, so will the
odor of ignominy follow close upon
the heals OF the retiring incumbent, as
he aimlessly wends his way adown the
devious incline OF an inglorious life.

A Contention for the Honors.

1t is evident that Oly is seeking to
divide the honOrS with Mrs. Horn re-
sulting from the souvenir carnival, but
IN doing 81 il looks very much a. il he
dlms the lnStcr oi her achievement by
the claims he makes for himself.
While granting the point that Mrs.
Horr conceived the idea OF the carni-
val and set the plan before the public,
he holds that when her plans we're
first made known through the Olan.-
pidH. Mrs. f"rr found herself up
against very strong opposition. The
Uympidn took upon itself the rc-pon-
slbillty OF endorsing the plan and oi
crowding it upon the public. There
i no one thing this paper has fully
endorsed that brought from 50 many
prominent people So serious protest,
Is the unqualified endorsement it gave
Mrs. liorr's proposed carnival. To
use Il very modern slang expression,
permissible in this instance because it
is so expressive, the hammers were out

So the conclusion Is irresistible that

By all Means.

1t has been wisely suggested that
the silver service designed for the war
ship Olympia as an offering from the
State of Washington be fabricated
from native silver; that is, that every
ounce of the white metal used be the
product of our own mines.
Now the STANDARD would 90 a step
farther and suggest that by all means
the work itself should be done by
Washington silversmiths, thus on
HANGING a hundred per cent. the real
value of this beautiful token from our
people to the most renowned warship
afioat, the honored namesake of our
capital city. The jewelers. of Seattle
possess all the facilities necessary for
the manufacture of the entire service
and they would be only too proud in
carrying out the behests of the execu-
tive committee should the contract be
awarded to home artisans. The esti-
mated cost of this magnificent table
set is $4,000, large portion of which
will be the expense of manufacture.
Thus, while the precious raw ma
terial is the product of Washington
mines, there will be business economy
in doing all the work at home instead
OF sending some thousands of dollars
abroad to pay the daily wages of me-
chanics who have no interest whatever
in the matter.

Destruction Of the Baldwin.

AT an early hour Wednesday morn
ing the Baldwin hotel, one of the fin
est and best hostelries on the Pacific
Coast, was destroyed by fire. 1t was
discovered about 3:15 in the morn
ing from smoke seen issuing from the
roof by people on the street. An i'm
mediate attempt was made to warn
the guests and employees of the house,
numbering about 500, and from this
speedy action doubtless many lives
were saved.
One report says the fire originated
in the kitchen and another that it
started in the theater. 1t had worked
its way upward through the fiues to
the sixth floor before discovered, and
before an alarm could be sent in had
therefore acquired much Roadway.
Every piece of fire-extinguishing ap-
paratus was brought into requisition
by repeated calls OF the department,
and it is owing to the thorough disci-
pline of that superb organization that
the loss of life was not far greater
While the streams of thirty engines
were being poured upon the burning
building, ladders and ropes were being
used in lowering the panic stricken
occupants from their perilous posi-
tions. The number who lost their
lives is unknown, but when the roof
collapsed quite number OF those who
had been clinging for life to the attic
gables went down into the fiery fur
mace.
The event, as usual, developed at
least one act of heroism. A. J. White
was one of the victims, but before he
gave up his life he had lowered three
women from the fifth story window
into the arms of the firemen who were
waiting at windows below. He then
fastened his rope and started hand
over hand for the ground. After
reaching point about halfway down,
the rope parted and he fell nearly a
hundred feet to the pavement, where
he was dashed to death.
The Baldwin was built in the los
and cost one and half million dol
lars, and with the grounds was valued
at three millions. In the building
was the famous Baldwin Theater, one
of the finest houses of amusement on
the continent.

Fire Department Matters.

Acting Chief of Fire Department
Mann attended the last sitting of the
City Council and made q verbal state
ment, outlining the condition of the
department. He thinks the present
companies should be raisSf to their
maximum strength and two more
companies should be authorized by the
City Council. lie says the apparatus
consists of 2,l00 feet of good hose and
about GOO feet of second class hose,
three hose carts, one hose wagon and
team, the hook and ladder truck and
the Silsby engine. The electric alarm
system is in good order as is the APP
paratus generally.
The chief took the ground that the
Silsby is worth more to the city, if
kept in good condition, in keeping
down the underwriters rates and adj
ditional protection than the sale of
her as a secondhand engine would
bring for other apparatus, and recon-
mended she be Overhauled and ar
engagements be made with a compe-
tent engineer for her operation in case
of fire along the water front.
He had recommended to the Super
intendent of City Schools that more
efficient fire drills be maintained in
all buildings where pupils are occu-
plying more than one floor.
He also recommended that one of
the companies to be authorized, be
housed near Thirteenth and Main, for
the better protection OF State property
and that of citizens, as this would not
especially weaken the apparatus used
on the lower level, for the weaker hose
can be used on the high level, and the
fact that the distance and steepness of
the streets leaves that part of the city
practically without protection from in
cipient fires.
1t is not difficult to suggest inn
prOvements or even many times to
secure them, but the difficulty is in
perfecting and making them perma-
nent. This can be reached through a
civil service system Of promotion. He
recommended the formulation and
adoption of rules so that every young
man who joins the Fire Department in
the future can be assured that by be-
coming an efficient fireman he stands
in the line of promotion up to per-
manent situation or an honorable Of
flee among his fellows and in the en-
ploy of the city. There must be some
thing in it for the fire laddies person.
ally, or the public need not expect
them to maintain an efficient depart
ment, year after year, through heat
and cold and the wet and dry. By
placing the department on this basis,
the city will show them that she is do
ing all that her limited finances will
permit.
The present employees, he declared,
were active and watchful and in case
they are called on to protect property
will do their utmost, but they need
help.
