beautiful dining hall where the guest

is no doubt but that the Mcbride idea will have num-
Der of hard and persistent workers IN the next egsa

THING like deadlock Mr. Preston believes the King
county "rators'' would rather come to him than go
to Hamilton and especially if they can be convinced
that he can get all of the Mcbride strength IN the state
II is barely possible that there will be members in the
next legislature from Eastern Washington who will go

POLITICAL POT=PIE

King county has Republican hodover state
senators and what they would do in the next senatorial
scrap has been a subject of much speculation ever
since Hon Samuel H. Piles first announced his nten-
ton of making for the senatorship from this state
to succeed Senator Foster 1t has been repeatedly pub
shed and given that Mr. Piles would unquestlon-
ably have the entire King county legislative delega-
ton at his back in the coming contest and that doupt
less prompted some of the business men to sign pet
ton requesting Mr. Piles to consent to the use OF MS
name for the senatorship and the subsequent Wiling
ness of him for them to do so.
Recent developments do not bear out the hrst pup
shed statements concerning the hodover senators Tor
at meeting held in this city last Monday evening IL

senators from King county would not support Samuel

but the ermine, the fur of which is as.

must be handled differently.
The hunter going the rounds of his

runway from bent twig, which, when
released. springs upward with a jerk
that lifts the ermine off the ground
and strangles 1t.
If the tracks are like the prints OF a
