do it for that. 1t is further ar
gue1 that the attorney should
do all this work and take all
this responsibility for the COM
ing year because of a sincere in
terest in the town. This logic
will be applicable when men
are willing to labor for tho town
at fifty cents per day, paying 81
per day for board and lodging;
when the coun ell can 60 to the
bank and draw 81 900 and later
return one sixth of the amount
as payment in full, because they
had concluded that the banker
"knew nothing; when they can
demand goods, services, or val
uables from any enc at so per
cent discount on the bold asser-
ton that such person or persons
don't know any thing, then it is
time to apply this to the attor
neys at Kennewick. A laborer
is worthy of his hire, and if he
is not, then pass him by.
Cheap labor is dear at any
price. If the town canot pay
for its work, then do not hire it
done. The government can do
no wrong, is legal principal
established so far back that the
memory of man runneth not to
the contrary. Yet this com
wealth starts its career by
asking a ten dollar favor for ten
cent compensation. If the at
torneys here are so dense that
the council cannot trust them,
then let them alone. Get some
competent attorney from the
outside and pay him for it. 1t
will not create brains in any
kennewick attorney or stimu-
late his legal knowledge by at
tempting to force him to work
for $25 per year.

about who is clerk or who is at

Since the above was written
the dove Of peace has settled

Daniel Boyd was appointed
clerk and this appointment
ratified And the work pro-

an occasional little tilt which

suffi Gent compensation while
the clerk gets $4,000. This is a
rather new innovation in public

WILL CAUCUS
INSTRUCTIONS
BE BINDING

Have the caucuses of political par
ty right in instruct nominees for
delegates to the county comfy conven-
ton, is a live question among the poll
ticans just now. Sometimes these
meetings are largely attended, but
other times only a handful Of voters
attend.
Are these to be permitted to die
tate the actions of delegates who are
to represent far greater number of
voters who may or may not agree with
them? The instructing of delegates
done by some precincts is said to be a
new feature in local politics.
Judge Gordon, who openly repre-
sents the railroad interests, claims
there is no precedent as authority for
it and does not think it is binding on
the delegates.
In an interview be points out that ny
this method of procedure it would be
very easy to pack caucus and instruct
delegates for any particular creed or
purpose. Judge Gordon did not sug-
gest it, but from other quarters ru-
mors come that the question may be
raised in the convention.
The Mcbride men claim this con
tention is only another railroad move;
that there is nothing more proper
than for delegates to be instructed by
the initiative body and that no honor
able man will violate his instructions.
Fight in Cleveland.
In many precincts there is a move
ment today to have at home some OF
the politicians who always go to the
conventions. An especially strenuous
effort along is apparent in Cleveland
precinct on Cannon hill. where Messrs.
Kimball, Dudley and Harrington, have
been recognized as the leaders.
Cyrus Happy, Harry Rosenhaupt and
s. p. Domer and w. S. Dawson are
being pushed by the opposition ele-
ment.

to try a $4,000 damage suit against
his road in the federal court. Since
arriving in Spokane Judge O'Day has
been notified that he has been nomi-
mated by the democratic state con-
vention of Oregon, in session yester-
day in Portland, for the Office Of SUI
preme judge of that state.
Il have not been formally notified
of my nomination as yet and can not

honor was wholly unsought by me, as

ed for the place. Oregon is a repub-
lican state and the man who would be
my opponent, should l run, is very

FIN Hour in the Garden

For the benefit of those who may
be so familiar with the older varie-
ties of garden flowers. that they may
desire to grow something newer, l
shall devorte this paper to brief men,
ton of the recent acquisitions in the
floral world.
Nicotiana is not new flower, but
it is not as well known as it ought
to be. 1t is really member of the
tobacco family. Its flowers are pure
white, trumpet shaped. and very fra
grant. They open at night, and con-
tinue through the forenoon of the fol-
lowing day. When grown in masses,
it is very pleasing Its culture is of the
simplest.
The Marguerite carnation is to the
garden what the carnation of our city
floral markets is to the greenhouse.
1t is not as large as the green house
varieties, and perhaps not quite as dou-
BILE. but it is as fine in form and color,
and generally as fragrant. One great
merit of this strain is it's late flower
ing habit. Indeed, the onl" fault to
find with it is that it is too late to
be very satisfactory, but this is not
the case when it is started early in
the season.
If plants set out in May are strong
and vigorous they will begin to bloom
in September and continue to increase
in beauty and profusion of bloom I'M

til cold weather sets IN. Their flow
ers come at a time when we apprecl-
ate them most.
If You decide to grow this plant be
sure to procure seed early, and start
it in pots or boxes in the window,
or buy plants started i'll March or April
of the florist.
The wallhower is not new, in 4
sense, but it is so little grown that
it is new to all intents and purposes.
We seldom see it growing in the gar
den. but it deserves a place there. 1t
belongs to the same family as ten week
stock. Its flowers are a rich, velvety
golden brown. and so exquisitely fra
grant that those who delight in rich
odors will not be satisfied until they
have grown the plant for themselves.
The plants can be lifted and potted
in fall, and made to bloom all win
ter in the window garden. The same
is true of the Marguerite carnation.
Eshscholitzia or California poppy, is
an exceedingly free bloomer, of the
richest yellow, with blotch of orange
at the base of the tulip-shaped petals,
whose texture resembles that of the
finest satin. A large mass of this flow
er is like burst Of floral sunshine and
makes a whole garden radiant.
Ageratum is not a snowy flower, but
1t is very lovely because of its delicate
color--a soft lavender blue. 1t is low
in habit and spreading, and admirably
adapted for front rows, or beds near
the path.
Gaillarda is a very snowy flower,
in rich crimsons. red, orange. yellow
and maroon. 1t is fine for cutting.
