long before the white man came to Ameri-
ca. This tribe raised crops by irrigation
and subsisted by agriculture centuries ago,
according 10 the best evidence o~btainable, "
said Mr.. Wright. 1.-The Hopis. by their Ian
guage, il is presumed, are related 10 the
Shoshones and other tribes of that stock.
But long ago they abandoned the wander
ing hunters life for a settled agriculture
existence. The Hops are industrious and
peaceable. They take excellent cart of their
farms. which are far removed from their
villages. The Only work animal of the tribe
is the burro. These animals are trained to
keep out of the fields. which are fenced,
but occasionally d burro is tempted by the
green verdure and lets his appetite run
away with his discretion. IL caught in the
act he has d piece of one car cut off and is
then known as a thief burro.' If caught a
second time another piece of his ear is cut
off. When both ears and tail are gone the
burro is killed and eaten. Nothing in the
form Of food is ever wasted by the tribe.
GIRLS DO THE COURTING.
There is nothing in the family life of
the IIopi that differs materially from other
tribes said Mr.. Wright. 'The women are
generally faithful and dutiful wives. The
girls select their husbands and the young
men have little tc say on the subject. One
popularity is that marriageable girls wear
their hair in two great wheels, one over
each ear. The Hopi girls have grown holder
with the passing of time. They do not wait
until the question is popped, as do their
white sisters. and accordingly they marry
when they are inclined to do SO. The
wheels not proving cfectual TO attract
suitors. the wearing of them has become
a mere cuctom. Now. when the Hopi girl
wishes to select a husband she sends her
mother TO the mother of the young man
she has selected. and the deed is done. The
young man is bound to marry the girl
whether or not his affections are centered
on another object

enemies. Hopi is the title recently adopted
by the Indian Bureau. 1t means peaceful
people. The Hopi is probably the least at
~tractive of all the Indians. The males are
of very slender physique, the average
weighing about 100 pounds. They are very
lean and wiry and do not carry any flesh,
as "a result of their unusual activity. The
women. who lead a sedentary life, are of
normal size and weight. The Indian Bureau

Talk about your claps of thunder
from clear sky, but the bulletin from
Olympia last Saturday evening to the
effect that Governor Mcbride had ap-
pointed R. B. Albertson as the fifth
judge for King county, the place re-
Gently created by the Eighth legisla-
ture, but none was never more start
ling than that one. James B. Murphy
had been recommended by the bar
association and it was very generally
believed that the matter was settled.
but the governor had few old scores
to even up with Seattle and therefore
he ignored any recommendation that
a majority of her citizens might make
and appointed a man, who has been
repeatedly turned down by the people
for that and similar positions. The
governor seems to be such a man as
is ever ready to eXterminate any one
that will brook an opinion or an idea
advocated by him and this fully ex-
plains why he appointed Albertson in
stead of Murphy.

Il am looking for a suitable candi-
date for mayor" came from a well
who was seen wandering up and down
the streets as though he had lost
five dollar note and really expected to
find it again. This is repeated to call
attention to the fact that the question
as to whom the Republicans will nomi-
nate for mayor one year from now
has already begun to disturb the quiet
of the politicians. The name of H.
A. Frederick, Of Frederick & Nelson,
has been mentioned in this connection
and is meeting some favor The name
of F. w. Hurlbut of the firm of Spell
ger & Hurlbut, is also receiving some
consideration and much favorable
comment by the people are being made
Frank H. Paul is again being talked
of. If he will permit the use of his
name he will make a splendid fight
for the nomination Sam Rathbun is
also being talked of in this connection.
Sam is very popular and would have
been mayor today if he had allowed
his friends to boost him for the place
He, however, is averse to being mayor
and it is barely possible that he will
again refuse the proffered honor
The Seattle Republican has ordered
Gov. Mcbride to leave the Republican
party and seek an alliance with the
Democrats 1t now remains to be seen
whether the governor will obey the
order or not.-Elma Chronicle.
He can either obey it or not, but
that's his only show of continuing a po-
ltical boss. AS a Republican boss his
days are numbered and like his Seattle
protege, he will soon be lost in the sea
of Innocuous Desuetude which seldom
gives up it's victims. The COVER

The appointment of Albertson does

paper and those attorneys quoted by

lie sentiment declaring that Albertson
was even more pleasing to the rank

than Murphy, were for the most part
Southern Democrts, who are always
trying to get some man hailing from
the South in public positions of trust
and honor, and, if they cannot get
a Democrat, then they will pull for a
man who is a Republican for selfish
ends, just so he is from the South.
The majority of the people of this

The Republican knows it only too
well, and it is now gathering few
facts, which it proposes to publish
in full in the near future, showing why
R. B. Albertson should not sit as one
of the superior court judges Of this
county and state. The Pie-maker
promises to not leave a stone un-
turned to present every phase in the
case and in many instances the state
ments will be accompanied by affi-
davits.

In the future if Seattle expects to
get anything from the Republican con-
ventions and legislatures the Pie
maker suggests that she select some
one OF her shrewdest and most sa-
gacious politicians as a political boss,
yea political dictator if you please
In years past Seattle had political
boss and was always on top, but when
she discarded that political parsonage
at the behest OF few pig-headed jeol-
GUS political upstarts, ever since she
has been the foot ball for every little
two by four county in the state.
Pierce county has a political boss to-
day and Pierce county from that very
fact is debating the politics of the
state. Pierce county with ten less
votes in the legislature had more to
say about distributing the patronage
and the election of a United States
senator than King county. Pierce
county, with not as many delegates
in the state convention by half, had
more to say as to who would be ncmi-
mated on the state ticket than King
county, all because she has a political
boss, who is looking out for Pierce
county. Let the politicians and busi-
ness men of Seattle and King county

lect a political boss, autocrat or any

tire First ward and likewise a part of
the Second, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth.
That will be source of strength that
will be controlled by others in the
future if the moral wave becomes eff
fective.
The mantle of Hon. John W. Pratt
is about to fall upon Robert Booth,
who for many years was an Office
disciple of his. 1t is generally con-
ceded at this writing that the city
council will appoint Mr.. Booth as
grade tax collector for Seattle, the
position so ably filled by Mr.. Pratt
for the past eight years. Booth is a
well known Third ward politician and
very studious and trustworthy young
lawyer. He has been a consistent Re-
publican and having gotten most valu-
able experience from Mr.. Pratt in this
line there is no doubt but that he can
serve the council in this capacity more
acceptably than any one else it could
appoint.
Much has been said about the per-
fidy of the thirteen members of the
Legislature who signed the caucus pc
tition at Olympia to Settle the sena-
tOrial question, but one would hardly
think any of them very much hated
by the citizens of this city when they
appear on the streets so cordial. is the
reception given them. The fact of the
matter is, ninety-fve per cent of the
citizens of Seattle being bitterly op-
posed to the railroad commission bill,
would rather have lost the senator
than to have seen that odious measure
become law of this state. Seattle is
opposed to the measure almost from
stem to gudgeon and if the selection
of senator from this county meant
the passage of that bill then no sena-
tor was wanted In this connection it
would be well to state that the citi-
zens of Seattle have not lost sight
of one governor, who is responsible
for their awkward political predica-
ment, and if they ever get an oppor-
tunity to hand him a political bunch
of it all doubled up they will certainly
do so.

At the next election King county
will have to elect five superior court
judges and with the prospects of the
Legislature increasing their salaries to
$4,000 per annum there will be no end
to candidates seeking the positions.
If there are not at least one hundred
candidates before the next Republican
county convention seeking one of
these five places then the Pie-maker
will greatly miss his guess. AS to
whether any of the present judges
will be renominated is nothing short
of pure speculation at this writing
While all of them have made good
officials, yet with so many of them to
nominate there necessarily will be
world of trading done and when the
delegates to a county convention start
to trading it is hard to predict who
will turn up with the lucky number

The moral wave that is sweeping
over The country and which is very
pronounced in this city and county,
as well as other counties of this state,
promises, if it becomes permanent, to
cut quite a figure in political circles
next year. If the gambling dens of
this city are driven completely out of
business and their proprietors sent to
state prison, politicians who in the
past have had an immortal cinch on
getting a backing from the gambling
house bosses for protection while in
