Mayor Will Not Be Candi-
date for Governor.
SPOKANE SHOULD HAVE II
"Are Going to Have Harmony in
WaIIa WaIIa if We Have to
Fight for It."

While en- route to the East where he
will visit his old home in Vermont
Mayor Hunt stopped off at Spokane
one day. While in that city he was
interviewed by newspaper man tc
whom he said:
I'VE are going to have harmony In
Walla Walla if we have to fight for
it," said Mayor Gilbert Hunt of Walla
Walla, who is in the city today, stop
ping at the Spokane hotel.
Mr.. Hunt is a prominent figure in
southeastern Washington republican
politics and is on his way to visit
friends and relatives in New England
his old home. He was loath to dis
cuss the political situation, saying that
it was too early, but did not hesitate
in saying that Spokane should have
the next governor.
''Walla Walla is satisfied with a
United States senator" said Mr.. Hunt
and we are not looking for the gov
ernOr. 1 think the governor next year
will come from the east side. The
east side is entitled to it and Spokane
should be able to get that office.
NO. do not expect to see Governor
Mcbride renomnated. AS for myself
am not a candidate and never have
been. I do not want to discuss indi-
vidual candidates as it is too early to
talk politics.

New s4utta Percha Tree.


Up to a quite recent date the world
las relied on the rubber tree for its
supply of gutta percha, and on account
IF the limited area in which this plant
grows the product has been exceeding
~ expensive. A short time ago a gutta
percha merchant in the Guianas in ex-
aiming the Amazon. region in South
America found the balata tree grow
ing in abundance. nea Para and on the
Amazon and it's tributaries for thou
sands of miles. The Brazilians had no
knowledge of it's gum-producing prop.
critics, and We're found cutting down
the trees for firewood and building ma
terial. A concession was bought and
the practical work of producing gutta
percha for the market begun.
There is practically no limit to the
supply Of gutta percha on the Amazon,
and it. can be produced at q fraction Of
the cost of rubber. The method Of
bleeding" the balata tree is entirely
different from that used to extract the
gum of the rubber tree and expert
"bleeders," it is said, can be employed.
The trees yield many times as much
sap as the rubber trees and one man
can gather as much gutta' percha in a
day as twenty men can extract from
the rubber tree. Each tree will aver
age three and a half pounds and one
competent "bieeder" can prepare forty
to fifty. pounds per day. The gum is
fcrmcnted and then dried in the sun,
after which it is ready for Shipment

Influence of Advertising.

There was a time in the history of
Journalism, says the Christian Advo-
cate, when the paid advertisement was
looked upon by the majority of readers
with distrust. This, too, is very hard
to believe in an era of expensive, ar
tistic and universal advertising.
To-day We forget to write upon the
list of standard and worthy publica-
tons such as include no advertisements
in their columns. The journal opened
the door for advertising; advertising
repays the debt by enriching publish
ers, and this. in turn, sends good litera-
ture broadcast upon the earth.
The advertising pages of your first
class journal are to your home what
the store windows are to the streets Of
your town. Who walks through the
business streets blindfolded? We may
not own upJo it, but every one of US
is on the lockout for bargains and adj
vantages and the --latest thing"
We may say or do what we please,
the advertisement has come to stay.
1t employs the best talent of the busi-
ness world; it uses kodak and camera;
it demands artists, pencil and brush; it
covets keen brain specialists to tell it
how to tell the biggest kind of a true
story in the smallest possible space; it
employs an army of alert, responsible
business men whose sole thought is to
establish cordial relations between the
man who has a good thing and the
man who wants it.
1t is crowding poor goods. and frau
dulent offers out of the field; it is put
ting into the hands of the reading pub
lie the best journal for the least money;
it pays to advertise, it pays to read the
advertisements.

Wonderful Fishing.

". P. Pycroft, A. l.. S., II. q. s.. in
writing about sturgeon in "The Living
Animals of the World" says that on
account Of the wholesomeness Of their
flesh sturgeon are highly esteemed
wherever they r found. In Russian
rivers they are very abundant, regular
fishing stations being established for
their capture. The approach Of n
shoal OF fish is announced by a watch.
man. and it is said that as many as
$4,000 sturgeon have been captured at
n OF these stations In a single day.
Should the fishing be suspended for a
short time the fish assemble In such
numbers as to form a solid mass, com.

The Horse Block

Another time-honored Philadelphia
institution is doomed. The wonder is
not that the horse block should be ban
ished, but that it has SO long survived
it's usefulness. Few persons now ride
from house to house in town, and to
enter a city carriage the mounting
block is an obstruction rather than
a convenience. 1t has come down from
the period of the high chaise, to mount
into which required as much agility
as to mount into the saddle. But while
unused the block has remained in
many respectable quarters, to trip the
unwary pedestrian and to tempt to
profanity. The removal Of these monu-
ments of the past will thus contribute
both to the convenience and the good
temper of the community, and since
Mayor Ashbridge has laid his reform
ing hand ON them, the places that

Money tn Burn.

Burned, $1,000 in United States notes;
owner, resident of Vaudeville, La;
cause, wife out OF her head. This is
the story in brief of a small heap of
ashes presented at the redemption d.
vision of the Treasury Department
with an earnest appeal to have the sum
refunded. The seemingly impossible
task Of determining whether the
charred paper was once money, and
if so, of what denomination, is one Of
the many hundreds of such feats sue
c%essfully performed by the experts in
this division. Albert Relyea, chief Of
the division, says that it is remarkable
how many people put their money In
the stove for safe keeping, forget that
ii is there and light a fire.

BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

Longing is Gods fresh heavenward will
With our poor earthward striving;
We quench it that we may be still
Content with merely living,
But, would we learn that hearts full scope
Which we are hourly wronging,
DIR lives must climb from hope to hope
And realize our longing.
All, let us hope that to our praise
Good God not only reckons,
The moments when we tread His ways,
But when the spirit beckons.
That some slight good is also wrought
Beyond dissatisfaction,
When we are simply good in thought
Howe'er we fail in action.

A FOOL PROOF CONTROLLER.
To Prevent Damage TO the Trolley Caf
Equipment.

To Prevent Damage to the Trolley Car
Equipment.
The tendency in modern design Is to
make all apparatus and methods OF
operation as nearly STOOL proof" as
possible. So much has either been
damaged or destroyed, owing to the IN
competency of operators, that 1t las
been found e%xpedient to surround ap-
paratus, especially electrical appll-
ances. with all possible safeguards.
Almost everything about an electric
car is now fool proof, excepting, per-
haps, the controller movement; Il
there has been recently introduced a
1evice which renders this immune from
injury by preventing motormen from
abusing and reducing the efficiency
of the equipment Of an electric rail
way. This device. which IS known as
the automotoneer, IS mechanical in its
action. and is placed in each control

troller can be advanced from Il point

neer. SAYS the American Electrician,
is very simple. The movement of the
control handle to consecutive points
on the controller raises a piston which
drives air out of an air dash-pot. The
raised position of the dash-pot locks
the controller handle against further
advance, until sufficient time has
elapsed for the piston to resume its
normal position by the flow of air into
the ~dash-pot. The rate at which this
air flows can, Of course. by the ADJUST
ment of the size of the inlet, and this
adjustment determines the time that
must be taken between points on the
controller.
