hall or the afternoon of the 25th, and to
place in nomination one alderman from
each of the three wards of the city, were
held on Saturday evening. The city hail.
the Livingston Electric light office ana
the Combination club rooms were the
places of meeting in the First, Second and
Third wards respectively, and S o'clock
primaries were well attended and several
candidates in each ward We'd with each
other in the favor of those who attended
the primaries of the party.
In the First ward T.. c. Doonan was
made the nominee. in the Second DR..
primary fell on j. C. Robinson. None of
these men have been in nomination before
for the office of alderman. Doonan is en-
ployed by the Northern Pacific Railroad
company and is considered a strong man
among the voters of his party and will
populists.
Pierce has been identified with the sill
yer republican party and Is a recent &C
cession to the ranks of the democrats.
and it is expected that he will keen part
of the silver republican party in line, as
far as his candidacy is concerned, at
least.
The other candidate, Robinson. is one
of the proprietors of the Park restau-
rant rising young business man, and
stands a good chance to secure the Of
flee of alderman.
The republican primaries will be held
this evening and their convention next
Thursday afternoon. two days before the
democratic convention. When the con-
rentions are over and the lineup of the
two parties is seen it may be possible to
predict with some degree of certainty how
the election is going, hut now, when it is
plain that party lines will not be closely
followed, it looks like anybodys race.
The democratic party have put up new
men and it is likely that the republicans
will place some of the old wheel horses
in the field. and just how this will affect
the chances OF their party no one can
tell. 1t is certain, however that there will
be hot campaign for the city offices and
hard fighting from the time the nominal
tons are made until the polls are closed.
People interested in park transportation
are making a lusty rear against the new
regulations that have been adopted this
year for the government of Wonderland.
Time was when the National park was
free to all who cared to apply for q per-
nit to take parties through the most
wonderful of natures gorgeous gardens.
Then the park travel was worth attend
ing to and many people in this city and
along the Upper Yellowstone found profit
able employment in conducting parties of
tourists through Wonderland. OF late
years more stringent rules have been
adopted governing. the conditions under
which persons shall visit the park and
controlling the operations of transporta-
ton vehicles. This has worked a change
in park travel and made a great differ
ence in the yearly revenue derived from
the annual visits of tourists to the park.
This year the rules are more harsh than
ever before. They provide that II permit
will be issued for one team to each per-
son engaged in the transportation of
tourists and that the owner must accom-
pany his vehicle on all its trips. The
camping companies have also come in for
their share of grief. The park season
was shortened to three months and the
Park Transportation company represented
to the interior department that camps
for the accommodation of tourists would
be needed before the hotels would open
under the short schedule and after they
were closed at the end of the season. In
view of these representations, Secretary
Hitchcock of the interior department is
sued a 10-year permit to the Park Trans
portation company, enabling them to
conduct camps iii the park for that num-
Der of years.
Against the new regulations and the
unheard-of permit to the new camping
company numerous petitions will be
urged at the Office of the interior de-
partment and to Captain Erwin, who Is
in command at the park. If these petit
tions are of no avail it is said that a
strike will De inauGurated by the camp
and transportation people at a time when
the park is filled with tourists. and as
these people are oftentimes visitors of
prominence and influence. it is supposed
the complaints they make will have the
desired effect
The Cokedale mines shut down Satur-
day and the following day Oscar james,
who for the past two years has been the
lessee of the property. departed for Cas-
tie Rock, Wash, to reside. A double pay
day was given the men on Saturday and
more than $4,000 dispensed in checks as
the last wages to be paid under the man
agement of Mr.. James. 1t is very unlikely
that the mines will be started IN again.
The stock company which owns the prop
erty has already paid back the purchase
price of the mines, and as most of the
development work has been done by the
lessees they will be nothing out if they
let the mine lie idle and turn the prop
erty over to the owners of the bonds at
their maturity in 1903,
Mr.. James is said to have first-class
position with the Carhondale Coal com
pany at Castle Rock, Wash. He is presi-
dent of the concern and owns a one-third
interest in the 200 acres of coal land
which the company controls. He will be
the general manager of the mine a Cas-
tie Rock, which is about 40 miles from
Portland and finely situated for chean
