It's an excellent showing of standard
makes and beautiful finishes at really ex-
traOrdlnary prices. Credit is given on

thinks he might as well have that
graft himself, as to give it to one of
his henchmen, and having no re-
spect whatever for his word. or for
a pledge given, he apparently has no
scruples about planning for the
downfall Of DR.. Sims. Ross and his
friends are already preparing for the
throwing down Of DR.. Sims by cir
culating ugly rumors and stories
about him in his home county.
These are expected to take proper
root by the time the political lines
are being cast next year, and then
Ross, who pretends to be Sims best
friend, will try to impress upon the
doctor the impossibility Of his nom
nation. Ross will Of course deny
that he is in any way responsible for
the feeling against Sims, but the
latter and his friends have received
straight tip, or will soon, and Mr..
Ross may find, when he attempts his
coup, that the worm has turned.
Ross was a member Of the railroad
lobby at Olympia during the recent
session Of the legislature, but was
regarded as cheap man, and was
probably not as expensive as some
others. He was faithful to his en-
ployers, however, and could not have
truckled to them more than he did.
if he had been receiving $500 day.
1t is said that Charley Dalton, an
other member Of the Ankeny push,
Is candidate for state senator, from
the district comprising Pacific and
Wahkiakum counties. He would be
a tit Ankeny successor to Hon. J. G..
Megler, one Of the most honorable
gentlemen who ever sat in either
branch Of the state legislature. But
Dalton may think better of it. He
ran for representative in Pacific
county once, but in spite of the fact
that the county gave Republican
majority Of nearly 500, Dalton was
defeated by big majority by an in
dependent Republican,
The election of Hon. J. II. Mitch
ell, of Oregon, to the United States
senate from that state and the de-
feat Of Hon. H. w. Corbett, the
multi-milhonaire, for the same posi-
ton, sounded the death knell to
Levi Ankeny's senatorial ambition in
the state of Washington. W. A.
Clark may have been able to pur-
chase and bride the voters Of Mon
tana into electing him to the United
States senate, but it seems that the
multi-millionaires of the Northwest
will not prove the success in politics
as did Mr. Clark. 1t. must have
cost Mr. Corbett a million dollars
since he has been trying to make
himself United States senator from
the state Of Oregon. He did for a
brief period enjoy a senatorial pre-
ferment, but the United States SEN
ate would not change its former pre-
cedents in seating persons appointed
to the senate, where the legislature
had failed to elect, and so Mr.. Cor
bett was sent back to Oregon for
legislative Endorsement, which thing
he never got. True enough, the
Pie-maker is of the opinion that Mr..
Mitchell was the poorest thing in the
shape Of a man that the state of
Oregon could have sent to the Uni
ted States senate, but the people
were determined that no man who
uses his money to purchase votes the
same as he would so many cattle or
live stock shall never represent the
Web-foot state in the most august
assembly of this land and country.
Money having failed to land Mr..
COrbett in the United States senate,
it begins to look now as if it Will
likewise fail to land Mr. Ankeny, Of
this state into a senatorial seat. First
and last, Mr.. Ankeny must have al
ready spent half a million dollars in
futile efforts Of having himself elect
