The Republican Party in Chehalis
County, as elsewhere, is we'll under the
control of corporate influences. The
corporations outline the party policy
and suggest the party nominees. In
the fixing of valuations and equalizing
assessments the lumber companies pull
the wires that they laid when the con-
vention was held month prior.
They do the same with legislators
that they nominate and elect.
The above is taken from the Seattle
Times of 10Th. staff correspondence
from Montesano. When that individ.
ual comes to write up Mason County
politics, he will probably spin differ.
ent yarn about the corporations and
their influence.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The number of stars visible to the
naked eye is less than 5000. The num-
Der of stars visible through the largest
telescopes is probably not less than
100,000,0O0.
How far away the milky way is there
are no means of Judging with much con-
fidence. Prof. Barnard has given good
reasons for thinking that its ground
work consists of stars, which are much
smaller than the sun, perhaps hun
dreds of thousands of times smaller, so
that it's distance from us may not be
great, as star distances go.
Some experiments recently made in
Belgium tend to throw doubt on the
truth of the assumption that insects are
guided to flowers by the brightness of
their colors. Brilliantly -colored dahl
las were covered so as to show only the
disks, and butterflies and bees sought
these flowers with the same eagerness
and frequency as those which were fully
exposed. The conclusion reached that
the insects were guided by their sense
of smell rather than by their sight
seems conclusive.
The long familiar laboratory method
Of drying the air by means of mois-

false bottom of Stats, under which is
placed metallic tray containing caus-

are placed on the false bottom, and the

sage over the potash. One charge of the
drier is claimed to last six months.

Not POpuliSts in Mason.
DEMOCRATS IN THAT COUNTY HAVE
NO USE FOR FUSION.
Straight Ticket has Been NOminatef
S. G.. Simpson, Wealthy Demo-
cratic Lumberman, Says That There
His Party is Patriotic.

It is nearly time for the fusion cam
paign managers to concede the loss OF
Mason county, according to the state
ments made by residents of that coun-
ty and by men who have Travelled
through it since the campaign set IN.
Fusion is thing of the past in Mason
county. AS has been told in tlA Post
Intelligencer, the Democrats AIT: Pop
ulists failed, after much wrangllng
among themselves, to reach an agree
ment on the division of the offices.
The Democrats went their own way,
nominating their own legislative and
county tickets. The Populists did
likewise. The Silver Republicans are
yet to be heard from.
All these things make the early
probability OF Republican victory in
Mason county almost an absolute GER
taintv, in the opinion Of people tamil-
lar with conditions on the other side
of the Sound.
Another marked difference i'll the
conditions prevailing in Mason county
in 1898 as compared with two years
ago is the fact that every branch of
the lumber industry is thriving. Many
more men are employed now than two
years ago. Wages have advanced: and
prices for logs have increased. The
mills Of the county are rushed with
orders, and there is probability that
they will advance the price OF their
products. Labor is we'll paid and
scarce.
S. G. Simpson, president OF the
Simpson Logging Company, and the
Shelton Logging Company, who is a
Democrat, yesterday told of the failure
of fusion in Mason county and of the
better times which rule in the lumber
and logging business as compared with
two years ago. Mr. Simpson is prob
ably the largest individual employer
of labor in Washington. At present
he has 500 men at work in his logging
camps in Mason county, and he needs
100 more.
"The Mason county Democrats are
not Populists," said he Yesterday, "and
this year they thought that they could
do better without fusion. Consequent
ly they nominated a straight Demo
cratic ticket. The Populists have
named their men and the Republicans
theirs. The Silver Republicans are
unorganized.
II don't care to make any predic-
lions as to the outcome in Mason
county. / don't believe there is as
much interest in the election this year
as in 1896. There is practically no
talk of the silver question.
eyes, sir, the Democrats of Mason
county are loyal to Mckinley, and
they applaud and approve everything
he has done IN the conduct of the war.
They do not doubt his loyalty. patriot
ism and ability, and they are proud of
him and of the war. That's the kind
of Democrats we have in Mason coun-
ty."-Sunday's Pr.

NEW CASTLE, July 18th

Large numbers ofpeople visited Ferris
drug store last night for the purpose of in
sprctingn capperhead snake which was
cuptured yes erdAy on tho road between
New Cast Tie and Christiana. Tho snake is
II species of the cupperhead and is known
as the Agkistrobon Contotroix, Tho book
name for 1t Is the pitviphr lis 3! inches
in length and will be sent to :bc Smithso-
man Institute The snake has II pit between
the eye and the nostril which shows that
tho snake is poisonous
1t is IL little less poisonous than the rat
tie snake. It is rare in this section of tho
country. One was seen in tho same sec
tiun about two years ago. About ten years
ago Dr.. Black killed one along !he road
below Bear at Moor's WOODS. Tho milk
snake copper is often erronously called the
coppcrhead. The longest copperheal to
DR.. Blacks knowledge Is 36 inches. About
sixteen years ago viper was killed on the
Kcc farm by William Gr!er.
Ifn stranger visited New Castle this
morning ho would think that there was q
camp located here. In Penn square OH
the benches and grass were plumbers Of

with their stats. rode off to inspect
the position on the right flank. They
all agreed that General Toral was Sc
Curely wedged in. and that escape was
impossible. but owing to delays and the
possible incidental loss of life which
was certain to result from an attempt
to carry the town by assault the
danger to our troops from fever and
disease and, above all. the fact that
the Spanish feet was destroyed. which
has been the real object of the cam
paign. it seemed to be the general dis
position to allow General Toral to
evacuate Santiago. This would give
us military and naval base, permit
the starving refugees to return to
their homes, and would allow the i'm
mediate embarkatien of the bulk of
our army for the Porto Rico cam
paign.

Playa Del Este July ia French
gunboai of about 1000 tons displace-
ment attempted to come into the har-
Dor about dusk last night without per-
mission. and met with a surprise party.
The cruiser Marhlehcad fired blank
shot as the gunboat came into the en-
trance to the harbor but no attention
was paid to this and shot from the
six FOUNDER was sent across her bows.
This. too. was disrcrarded the gum
boat coming along under full steam.
For a few minutes it looked as II
row was possible The trumpcts of the
Marblehead rang out call to quar-
ters, and another shot was sent across
the French gunboat's bows, this time
in uncomfortable proximity. That
warning was sufficient, however. and
the Frenchman stopped with extreme
suddenness.
1t is against naval custom for war
vessel of one nation to enter port
which vessels Of another nation are
blockading unless permission Is given.
The captain Of the French gunhoat was
either in Ignorance Of the American oc-
cupation or chose to disregard 1t until
forcibly reminded Of the fact by Com
mander McCalla. The gunhoat was al
lowed to anchor In the lower harbor
for the night.

Yes, at last, the Delaware boys have been
paid off, And the presence of the pay
master was as welcome as would have
been news to tho regiment to move 10
the front. AS soon as the men got their
checks cashed rush was made upon the
lemondade and painted cako stands just
outside the lines. The paying off of per.
sonnl debts which had been contracted be.
