A monster parade by the Reno wheel
men will help to enliven affairs on the
evening of July 4th. 1t is expected that
there will be nearly 300 cyclers in line.
Reports from reliable sources indicate
that the Comstock, Silver City, Dayton.
Carson and other people will come to
Reno in crowds, many of them taking
this opportunity for their summer outing.
Many campers from the mountains and
lakes will also spend carnival week here.
The coming week should be especially
devoted to arranging the decorations

The Humboldt is the principal river in
the State and the possibilities OF. land re-
clamation along its course are far greater
than the Truckee offers. The survey
work on the Humboldt is as far advanced
as 1t is on the Truckee and it would seem

ness.
The POstofice fight in Spokane has
finally been settled and the name of
Judge Harrison has been recommend
ed by three Republican members of
congress for the postmastership,
which of course settles the contest.
Mr.. G. w Temple has made a most
excellent postmaster, and the citizens
of Spokane have placed implicit con-
fidence in him, but it can be truly
said, even at this early date, that Mr..
Harrison is as we'll and favorably
known as Mr. Temple, and that is say
ing a good deal. Judge Harrison will
make Spokane a most excellent post
master, just as has Mr.. Temple done
for the past four years.
The Pie-maker hopes that the vot-
ers of King county will look we'll to
anu
make the effort of their lives to Sc
cure one of the congressional nomina-
tions for King county at the next
state convention. King county wants
a congressman, and when she gets a
congressman she will take chances
on getting United States senator
This thing Of refusing little things
with the hope Of getting bigger things
and then failing in getting the bigger
things has been indulged in quite too
frequently for King county's financial
as we'll as political interests, and now
it is the duty of the voters of this
county to go in for what they can get
and do not despise them because they
are small. King county may pay one
fifth Of the taxes as we'll as pay one
fifth of the votes of the state, never.

ored by his fellow citizens by being
elected to responsible official posi-
tons In Eastern Washington he was
elected state senator many years ago
and since he has been a resident of
Seattle he has twice been elected JUS
tice of the peace Of this city and the
third time nominated, but defrauded
out of the nomination by the chcan-
merry of cheap politicians. Judge Aus
tin will give Seattle just as clean an
administration as he did when he was
police judge of this city, when he was
considered a terror to evil-doers. He.
like his opponent, is not making a
senatorial fight in this connection or
any other connection, and he there
fore wants it distinctly understood
that he is a candidate for the mayor
atty and not for the United States
senate, nor is his candidacy the off
spring of any United States senatorial
candidate in or out of Seattle. Judge
Austin goes on the principle of fight
ing his own battles and letting the
other fellow do likewise. His manv
friends do not hesitate in saying that
he already is the most formidable can
didate for the nomination and stands
splendid show of sweeping the con-
vention by an overwhelming majority.

One of the candidates for corpora
tion counsel is John w. Pratt. He
has made a study Of municipal law
and of city affairs. He has a fine IL
brary collected in years Of books on
municipal government and of reforms.
He is a Republican from principle and
believes that all movements for the
public welfare should be initiated in
and fought for by the Republican
party. He is the author of many
statutes which have helped to clear
the way for modern advancement in
civic affairs. This branch Of the law
department has of late years become
the most important, local improve
ment amounting in one year to the
enormous sum of 100000. 1t has
been stated through a misapprehen-
sion of the facts, that he will hold his
present office in addition to that of
corporation counsel, but the fact is
that it would result in a saving to the
city of nearly $4,000 a year. Mr.
Pratt has conducted a most respon-
sible Office for a paltry salary, the
expenses Of clerk hire, Office rent and
stationery having to be paid out of his
salary and not in addition to it.

prominent candidate for the Re
publican nomination for mayor of Sc
attic is George N. ellison, one of Sc
attle's leading business men. At
present Mr.. Gibson is at the head of
the Engineers Supply Company and
is also president of the board of
county commissioners for King coun-
ty. During Mr.. Gilson's career in this
city he has made an enviable business
record, and it is very generally con
ceded that should he receive the nom
ination for mayor and be elected to
the Office he would give the city one
of the cleanest administrations that
it has ever had. This is believed be-
cause Mr.. Gibson has been a success
at whatever he has undertaken in
the past and it is not probable that
he would be a failure in this instance.
Some Of Seattle's leading business
men as we'll as most extensive prop
erty owners are using their every eff
fort to bring about the nomination of
Mr.. Gibson because they believe that

ment to vote for Levi Ankeny for the
United States senate if Mr. Ankeny
could land fifty Republican votes. He
never got that number, and of course
those Populists and Democrats never
got an opportunity to show Mr.. An
keny how much they thought of him
by voting with the Republicans for
his election. Following the adjourn
ment of the legislature the political
combination hinted at above, hooking
UP Ankeny, Turner and Gov. Rogers
in the same set of harness, was at
once given to the public as authentic.
1t was never denied by either of them
and subsequent developments have
proven almost conclusively that the
statements were true from start to
finish. It can therefore be safely said
at this writing that Mr.. Ankeny is
something of an Independent candi-
date for the United States senate, ex-
pecting to draw votes from both the
Democrats and the Republicans. If
this be true, and the Pie-maker does
not doubt it, it is here suggested that
the Republicans wipe their hands
clean and clear of the man who is
neither Republican, Democrat nor
Populist, but miscegenated abortion
of the three.

theless she does not hold any of the
state Offices and all because we have
set of politicians here who want to
get the top of the pot or they won't
have anything. Let's organize to
capture one of the congressional
nominations, and then when we have
captured that let's organize again to
capture one of the United States SEN
atOrs, and we stand a fair show of
getting that. King county has just
as much show of doing that as had
Pierce county, and with twenty-five
members in the legislature she will
come pretty nearly saying who will
be elected. 1t is utterly ridiculous to
say that King county shall not have
one of the congressional nominations
for fear it will hurt her chances of
capturing the next senator elected
from this state. King county has
ample material for congressional pur-
poses, and the Pie-maker truly hopes
that some of it will be effectually
used.
Whether Harold Preston is accept
able to the rank and file of the Re
publican party or not, he is to be King
county's candidate for United States
senator, is the fiat sent out by the
silk stocking gang, and to hell with
the rank and file of the Republican
party. The bankers and billionaires
will dictate to them who is to be
United States senator, and they have
but one alternative, and that is to
vote for such nominees of the legis-
lature as will pledge themselves to
vote for Harold Preston. Well the silk
stocking gang is going to run up
against the real thing in this fight,

take advantage of this opportunity
and at this time announce his candi-
dacy for the mayoralty of Seattle, sub
ject to the actions of the Republican
convention While the workers for Mr.
Gilson's nomination are enthusiastic,
and think their candidate will not be
defeated in the convention, yet they
stand willing to abide the decision Of
the majority of the delegates in the
regular Republican convention, and
whether Mr. ellison is or is not nom
mated they will go forth from the con-
vention supporting the nominees re-
gardless of whom they may be. George
N. Gibson is a lifelong Republican, and
regardless of the party nominee
he has always supported the ticket
warmly as well as enthusiastically,
and he will do in the future as he has
done in the past. He has been closely
allied with the business interests of
Seattle and King county ever since he
has been a resident of the city, and
it is predicted by business men that

POLITICAL

The Pie-maker noted one day last
week a great assembling of boss
Democrats politicians in this city,
and, strange as it may seem, promi-
nent among that horde of Democratic
politicians was to be found Hon.
Levi Ankeny, the Walla Walla bank
er, who is the standing candidate in
the Republican party for the United
States senate. Ordinarily such a CO.
incidence would have had no signifi-
canoe whatever from a political stand
point, as Mr.. Ankeny could not expect
anything from Democratic politicians
whether they be large or small from
party standpoint, but owing to the
fact that Mr.. Ankeny's name has been
hooked up with that of George Turn
er, to the end, if it be impossible for
the one to be elected the other is to
turn his strength to the stronger can
didate, the associations Of Mr. An
keny with those Democrats visiting
Seattle one day last week would seem
to be a most significant omen Mr..
Ankeny seemed to have been in tow
during his stay in this city Of John
B. Catron, the warden of the state
penitentiary, who is said to be a
most enthusiastic Ankeny man for
United States senator. He is almost
an Ankeny man, Notwithstanding his
Democracy, in preference to George
Turner, because it will be remembered
that George Turner prevailed on Gov.
Rogers to remove Mr. Catron and ap-
point John Maloney as warden,
which Gov Rogers refused to do, and
it is said he did so because Mr.. An
keny and his friends helped him,
and the governor felt that he was
under obligations to Mr.. Ankeny and
his friends for his, Rogers, election
in 1900. Under such circumstances
there could not be very much warm
political blood existing between Sena-
tor Turner and Warden Catron,
which prompts the Pie-maker to as
sert that Mr.. Catron in his heart of
hearts would prefer to see Mr.. An
keny elected rather than Senator
Turner

Among the Democrats that were
present here last week were DR.. P. S.
Burney, who was recently elected
mayor of Spokane, who has since
bloomed out as a Democratic candi-
date for governor; also DR.. D. G..
Newman, Harry Eggleston, Floyd
Dagett and Dr. J. F. Reddy. And
among that gathering of prominent
Democrats was a candidate for con-
gressionaI honors from the North
west, as we'll as one for congressional
honors from Eastern Washington, and
also Democratic candidates for other
state offices and honors,, which would
seem to make the meeting a confer
ence of leading Democrats of the
state. But the remarkable thing of
it all was the presence of Levi
Ankeny, a leading Republican and
senatorial candidate. The question
naturally arises, what could he hope
to gain by being present at such a
conference as that? The Pie-make1
is not prepared to say that he actually
took part in the conference, but they
were all here together, and he, An
keny, was with them the most of the
time, and if he did not take a part il
the conference, he knew everything
that was going on, and the indications
point to him having actually taken g
part in its deliberations.

Senator Foster seems to be having
the devils own time getting his rec
concentrations for federal positions
named by the president. Perhaps Of
all the United States senators he is
in the most unfortunate as we'll as
unhappy predicament of any of them.
He is being cussed by the men whom
he has not recommended and he is
being cussed by those whom he has
recommended to such an extent that
his political goose in this state seems
cooked beyond recognition Senator
Fosters failure to land his man is
public comment, not only in this
state, but in other states, and his
pitiable situation in the United States
senate is one of much chagrin to his
friends both in and out Of Tacoma.
When Addison G. Foster was elected
to the United States senate he made
promises to politicians at that time
which he broke three weeks there
after, almost instantly, for he had
hardly taken his seat in the United
States senate when he stood ready to
fight the confirmation of Postmaster
George M. Stewart, of Seattle, when
it was George Stewards friends that
secured his election He at once be-
gan to form political alliances with
Representative Guie and the Pipers to
the detriment of the very man in
King county who actually elected
| him, and this, too, in the face of a
written agreement that he had
given to the man who, above all
| others, was directly responsible for
the election of Mr. Foster. and, ac-
cOrding to the scriptures, "he that
diggeth a ditch for his neighbOr will
himself fall therein" and so in Sena-
tor Fosters attempt to throw down
those men who elected him, he has
run up against an unexpected opposi-
tion at Washington, and he has been
unable to land a single man whom
| he has agreed to have named for fed
eral positions in this state.

Speaking about Mr.. Ankeny taking
a part in the Democratic conference
that was held in this city a few days
ago, reminds the Pie-maker of the
fact that at the time the legislature Of
1899 was at the most critical sena-
torial point, it was generally under
stood that enough Populists and
Democrats stood ready at any mo-
