Thos. O'Neill's Record

EDITOR JOURNALS:
Since the Tribune has taken occas-
ion to call attention to the record OF
Mr.. Thos. O'Neill. as county commits
s:oner, claiming for him all the credit
for supposed wise and conservative
management of county affairs, is it
not well to scrutinize that record?
The county commissioners as board
equalization for the year 1899 seemed
to have been very 10th to make any
reduction in the assessment below
that returned by the assessor, except
In cases wherein member of the
board was personally interested. Mr..
O'Neill seems 70 have been particu-
larly fortunate in having a reduction
made in his assessment, as shown by
the following facts of record in the
Office of the county auditor,
"A portion OF section 10, township 20
north of range 3 west, (known as the
Till Shelton place., owned by
Mcdonald & O'Neill, was reduced from
$4,000 to $4,000, including improve
ments. Another fraction containing
the firms barn, was reduced from $175
to $115.
The south half of lots and s,
block IA, Francis Shelton's addition to
Shelton, owned by Margaret McDon-
aid, was reduced from $3.50 to $3.50.
The north halt of said lots, owned by
another party, was allowed to remain
at $3.50 for the land, exclusive OF inn
proyements.

Frink's Record Invites Inspection,

If the voters will carefully study the
record OF Senator Frink they will dis
cover that while in the legislature of
the State of Washington he always
voted in favor OF the workingman.. He
has paid out over 81 800, 900 as an en-
ployer of labor to the employees at the
Washington Iron works, Seattle,
where no strike over occurred, and
good wages have always been paid.
Notwithstanding the statements of
the opposition press and speakers, he
has persistenily voted in the interests
of the farmer. The only two measures
of relief ever passed by the legislature
of the State OF Washington upon the
question of freight rates were the
WATSON and Anderson bills. Senator
Frink voted in favor of both of them.
Considerable discussion arises over
what is known as the Helm Morgan
bill. Identically the same bill was
concurrently introduced in the SEN
ate and House. In the Senate it was

Lest We Forget.

The loggers will not forget that for
the past two or three years they have
been pretty independent as class,
and their wages been better than for
a number of years before. They have
shared like all other classes Of work
ingmen in the general prosperous con-
ditions of the country. Formerly
wages wcfe down to bedrock, if there
was any work to be had at all, and il
logger lost his job it would be difficult
TO find another. Now, and for nearly
if nc. quite three years past. the con-
ditiDns lave been reversed, and job
was to be had in any camp. Now,
very few of the camps are rr':f.ing
full-handed, and wages are as gn'd as
they are ever likely to be in our WOO DIS.
Just at this time, it would be well for
the woodsmen to bear this fact in
mind, as sort of think-jogl er.
The Klondike excitement is not res
ponsible for these conditions, Shelton
sent more money in that direction than
it ever has or will receive. True, a
few cargoes of lumber have gone North
and the Mason County loggers profiied
to the extent they furnished logs to
the mills which shipped the lumber,
probably two or three days work of the
camps. A little thought will convince
any one that the healthy conditions
are not merely local, but general.
: Our mills and logging camps have
found their splendid trade OF the past
three years in the improved business
conditions of the country, and espec-
tally trade relations. with the Orient.
Our own people are buying and using
more lumber than ever, in addition to
the immense trade developing across
the ocean. A visit to the big mills at
Port Blakley will disclose vessels bound
for every important seaport in Asia,
Africa, Australia and the Islands
The results of the Spanish war have
given this country a commanding
position, and an unlimited trade in
lumber and the other products of this
state is rapidly opening up.
Will the voters of Washington dis
credit the wonderful improvement in
their cond ition by voting against the
present Mckinley administration? We
think their good judgment can be
trusted. The object lesson lie;
before them, and men are not
blind to their best interests. The
Republican policy insures confidence,
progress and prosperity, while the
Democratic policy means, at best, I'M
certainty.

Gunderson's Record.

AS one of our Democratic friends
has called into question the work done
by Representative Gunderson in the
last session Of the Legislature, we have
gathered the following record for his
information OF the bills introduced
and their disposition:
House Bill SO, to abolish fish traps.
Lost, ayes, IS: noes As: absent and
not voting, IA.
No. 46. for the removal of school
district officers by the County Supt.
for neglect OF duty, merged into omni-
bus bill and passed.
No. 81, to establish fish hatcheries
on the Columbia, Snobomish, Skcko-
misb and Nisqually rivers, merged into
omnibus bill and passed.
No. IS, election of Fish Commission
er by the people, indefinitely post
poned.
No. al, repeal of registration laws
for school elections in districts of less
than 10000, merged into omnibus hill
and passed.
| No. 247, licensing fish traps at the
rate of $3.50 per thousand fish, merged
into omnibus bill, fee cut down to 81
per thousand, and bill passed.
No. 315, union labels on all matter
printed by the state and a guarantee
of fair wages: on passage, yeas, 80:
nays, 81.
No. BIG, Skokomish River Fish way,

explanations passed, yeas, So; nays, 2,

No. AL, constitutional amendment

No. 466, reducing poll tax from 81
to 81. Indefinitely postponed.
No. 500, prohibiting railroad passes
to members and officers Of the state,
Indefinitely postponed.
He also worked for anti-blacklisting
law, and 0-hours day for all employees
on state work, fer freight rate reduc-
tions and three-cent fares.
! He was member of the fisheries
committee and was Instrumental in
securing $1,000, or one-half OF the ap-
preparation, for Puget Sound, for the
experiment station for Eastern oysters
This Fish Commissioners Little prom
ised for Oyster Bay, but located in
Kitsap County.
He further called a meeting of the
oysiermen of Mason County, found
out what they desired in the way OF
Legislation, and secured all they asked
for.
This record is one of which the
people of Mason County may we'll be
/ proud, and, since Mr. Gunderson is a
candidate for reelection, it is one
they should be reminded of.

IT IS thought that the matter of
congressional apportionment will be
taken up at the short session of con-
gress which opens in December. The
present ratio is one congressman for
every 173,9O1 people, making a house
OF 3o7 members. 1t has been suggest
ed that the round number 100000 be
selected as the new ratio, which. with
population of 100000, would give
a house of 3SI members.-P. I.
The Veterans will not forget that the
last Democratic administration Drop
ped thousands of pensioners. from the
rolls without cause, and threw every
obstacle in the way of those seeking
pensions. Judging from the class of
people around Bryan they would get
even worse deal in the event of his
election. Bryan and his people inn
pngn the patriotism of those who are
even now serving their country and
upholding the honor of the country,
and all its flag represents. Bryan is a
s'knocker."
The "trust" argument comes with
very bad grace from the Democrats,
when every line OF legislation now on
the statute books of the United States
directed against trusts and unlawful
trade combinations was placed there
by the Republicans. The last test
was on June 1st, 1900, when the final
vote was taken On the constitutional
amendment to grant congress power
to "define. regulate, prohibit and dis.
solve trusts, monopolies and combina.
lions" II required two-thirds vote
aud received 154 yeas to 132 nayr,
Five democrats and 149 Republicans
voted yea, and only two Republicans
we're among the nays, the rest r,ere
democrats. This shows where the
parties stand on that question when s
comes to performance, and every M ! 1
who read Che papers Of the above ds y,
KNOWS thls statement to be true.

State Warrant Premiums.

The following data, taken from the
books of G. J. Lord, an Olympia bank
