state ticket, but as to the respective
county tickets. But a few years ago
the Democrats, Populists, Socialists
and every other kind of fool political
ism that could be thought of were
merged into Fusion party, and this
combined cOnglomeration the Repub-
llcans had to fight. This year, how
ever, it is very much different, for all
of the respective isms have nominated
tickets of their own. Spokane county
is veritable hot-bed at present, and
! 1t can be safely said, owing to the
prevailing conditions there, that the
Republican party will win out by an
overwhelming majority. There are five
county tickets in Spokane, as follows:
The Republican, the Democratic, the
Populist, the Socialist and the Pro-
hlbltionist. The two leading tickets
are the Republican and the Dem
ocratic. TIE Prohibition ticket will
draw largely from the Republicans,
while the Populist and the Socialist
tickets will draw almost solely from
the Democratic ticket and thus weaken
it to such an extent as to doom it to
defeat and assure the Republicans
winning from top to bottom.
The vote on the railroad commission
bill in the late Republican state con-
vention is one that may be studied
with interest by all factions of Re
puUican politicians. Of the Eastern
Washington counties Asotin, Adams.
Garfield, Kittitas, Lincoln, Okanogan,
Whitman and Yakima voted as a unit
for the Mcbride proposition as against
the railroad proposition, as likewise
did a majority of the delegates from
Cheian and Spokane counties. Ferry
Douglas and Stevens counties divided
their votes on the commission plank.
Columbia, Franklin, Klickitat and
Walla Walla voted with the railroads
on the measure, and thereby hangs a |
tale. After a careful consideration
OF this vote it is plain to be seen that
the railroads will support Mr. Ankeny
in the coming senatorial fight. 1t will
further be seen that John l.. Wilson
will get a majority of the Eastern
Washington legislative delegates, not
including the counties that voted with
the railroads, and Whitman. 1t can
likewise be safely said that Harold
Preston will also get a few scattering
votes in Eastern Washington on the
first ballot, which votes will later on
be transferred to John L. Wilson.
While the ballot taken on the COM
mission plank had no direct bearing
In the senatorial fight, it is very eyi- |
dent that it showed to some extent
from where each of the three sena-
torial aspirants expected their great
est strength. While the fight for the
senatorship as it now stands is be-
tween John L. Wilson and Levi
yet Harold Preston has one
show to be elected, if it so happens
that either Wilson or Ankeny early
arrives at the conclusion that it is

:
strongest ground work for a political
machine in this state that has ever
before existed. If the legislature
passes the commission bill, and under
the circumstances it is almost COM
PEELED to do SO, or lay itself liable to
be defeated at the polls in 1904, the
material for Governor McBride's DO
litical machine will be furnished and
with it he and his friends will be able
to brow-beat the next Republican
state convention into nominating Just
such men as he will dictate. Of
course the governor has never been
tried by the fires of Legislative ses-
sion and when he will have gone
through that part by vetoing many
bills and measures which he and his
friends oppose he will thereby incur
the displeasure of many of the leading
Republicans of the state to such an
extent that his grasp on the party will
perhaps be shaken and he will be
opposed more two years from now
than he was at the last state con-
vention, and that will be saying
good deal.

TALES OF THE TOWN


In March, 1898, the Cottage City
made her first trip to Southeastern
Alaska and on her way up she ran
into a blind bay and in turning to get
out ran onto the rocks. She proceed
ed to get into her course, but be-
fore she got out of the bay, she again
ran onto a rock and from there her
captain ran her onto the beach. and
finding the injuries slight she pro
ceeded on her way to Sitka. Since
that time the Cottage City has met
with no serious mishaps. It was
claimed of the first mishap that the
rudder post was fractured and the
ship could not be controlled, while
some OF the passengers attributed the
mlshap to an overdose of poor whis-
ky in the system of the pilot.
The membership of the concern
known as Mayer Bros, who have fig
ured conspicuously in the courts for
the past few months, owing to the fact
that they have had number of bur.
glars to deal with, are now figuring in
the courts in a different light from
what they have in the past, for now
they themselves are the defendants in
the United States court confronting
the grave charge of counterfetiting
1t seems that they have been plating
hVe-cent pieces so as to make them
resemble fve-dollar gold pieces and
then they turn them over to various
confederates who f1oated them and di-
Vlded up the profit with the firm. Al
confession was wrung from one of the
men caught in the act of passing the
counterfeit fVe-dOllar pieces and he
squealed on the lump lot of them and
as result, they are all now defend.
ants instead of prosecutors as thew
nave been in the other cases in which
they have figured in the courts. No
JeWelry firm in the Northwest has been
more successful than Mayer Bros
and they of all men should have the
least cause to counterfeit for the sake
of gain.

POLITICAL POT PIE


The late Republican convention was
lacking in the development of future
state officers. Perhaps Governor Nc
Bride was the only one on which the
actions of the state convention had
any significant bearing. If the con-
VentlOn had not adopted the commits
sion plank Mcbride would not have
been serious candidate for the gov
ernorship in 1904. 1t did, however,
adopt the commission plank and now
he has a fighting show for the NOM
nation. The vote on the commission
plank developed the fact that Governor
Mcbride is bitterly opposed in many
counties of this state, and if the same
feeling against him continues for two
years he will be defeated for the
SubernatOrial nomination and then
Henry G. Mcbride will as said Sena-
ator Turner in the Spokane Demo
cratic county convention a few weeks
ago, bolt the Republican party bag
and baggage and join issues with
Turner to control the politics of the
state as mOngrel Democrats.
On the other hand, Governor Nc
Bride in winning his point in the state
convention strengthened himself very
materially, and unless he gets up
against the real thing when the next
legislature is in session he has the

Hon. ]. H. Shively, who is at pres
ent insurance commissioner in the
secretary of states Office, is politically
ambitious and has been ever since he
represented Whatcom county in the
state legislature. When Mr.. Shively
won his first political victory as chair
man Of the Republican state central
committee he stood in line for the gov
ernOrship Of the state and almost with
out opposition so far as the nomina-
ton was concerned, but he got under
the influence of a few bad political
actors a few months after the victory
had been won and cooked his own
goose. For a while his political es
capades in connection with George u
Piper caused him much annoyance and
many disappointments, and even yet
whenever his name is mentioned that
old affair looms up like a house afire.
Mr.. Shively, finding it almost impos-
sible for him to reach the goal of his
political ambition by longer clinging
to the state of Washington, has ac-
cepted an invitation from Chairman
Dick, OF the Ohio Republican state
committee, to canvass that state in
the interests Of the Republican party.
and, if the Pie-maker is not mistaken
Mr.. ShiVely hopes to so ingratiate him
self into the good graces of the Re
publican leaders of that state, includ-
ing Mark Hanna, as to be able to land
some prominent federal position, per-
haps represent his government at some
foreign country after the election is
over. There is no doubt but that he
will do this, for he is pleasing speak
re and has posted himself well on the
political situation and will make a
favorable impression wherever he ap-
pears in the state of Ohio. When a
member of the legislature of this state
he was styled the Daniel Webster of
the house because of the fact that he
was the most logical, oratoricai and
convincing speaker in that august
assembly

within the next few days and then the

gineer. His attention was called to
the land that is being taken up by a
colony Of settlers in the Little Fork
valley, and he went up to look it
over. Mr.. Aver will settle on some
of the land. He says it is as fine soil
az ever lay out of doors, and predicta
a great future for it as a farming re-
gion. The Little Fork flows into
the Big Fork river, which empties in
to Rainy river on the international
boundary. The valley referred TO il
