then it is safe to predict that when
the pie" is cut all the smaller pieces
will go to the starving applicants
from other counties on the Sound and
in. other portions of the state. A re-
b. D. Croker is going to have some
thing to say about the distribution OF
the state patronage, and it is claimed
that he has an ante election promise
from Mead that KEGS would be given
the position now held by Warden
Dryden.
This news is not very welcome to
those who want the other good jobs
on the hill, and there are rumors now
floating about that there may be some
thing doing if KEGS is given the job
he is after and the others are turned
down.
To Doctor Prisoners.
The post of penitentiary physician,
with a salary of SIS per month, with
very little work to do, is wanted by
three Walla Walla physicians, each OF
whom has his friends out "legging'
for him. Those who would be willing
to have their names go on the state
pay roll are DR.. Yancey C. Blalock, DR..
C. P. Cannon and DR.. j. c. Mack.
Each has a strong following among
the republican politicians and it will
take the final deal of the cards to de-
termine who is to win out.
Who Want the Other Jobs.
There is only one applicant for the
job of chief turnkey from Walla Walla.
1t is Philip Berry, a former guard at
the institution, and who has been one
of the prominent ward workers" for
the republicans for several years.
For chief engineer Fred Digger is
out for the job, while William Preston,
who also wants to be steward, is will
ing to boss the convicts who run the
engines at the prison.
For the jobs as guards, there are
hundreds of applicants. In fact al
most every person that took an active
part in the last campaign is willing to
accept the 's55 per month jobs and
carry a gun either at night or day.
Rurke for Clerk
1t is stated on good authority that
Professor F. M. Burke is a candidate
for the position of clerk at the peni-
Tertiary. His friends claim that he
has the inside on the job and that
it is almost settled that he is to re-
ceive the appointment. 1t is also
claimed that he has the endorsement
of the county republican central COM
mittee.
Dryden Ready to Quit.
Warden Dryden is ready to step
down and out of the principal posi-
ton at the state penitentiary and it
is announced that his resignation is
ready to be handed to Governor Nc
Bride January 1, with the request that
it be accepted as soon as possible.
Warden Dryden was appointed by
Governor Mcbride and during the
early part of the political campaign
was one of the governors strongest
supporters in the state. When the
governor was defeated for the nomi-
nation at Tacoma and the democrats
put up George Turner, Mr.. Dryden
openly worked for the Spokane man
for the gubernatorial chair. 1t is GER
tain that Dryden would be first of the
Mcbride republicans to get notice
of removal, and it is believed that he
will not give Mead a chance to exer-
else his prerogative.

The selection Of this date is contin-
gent, Of course, upon the contractors
making good progress, but at the pres
ent rate the Minnesota ought to be
ready for launching by March /.
.5a A comparison Of the designs and
specifications of the Minnesota with
other battleships and cruisers, armored
and protected, shows that she will be
heavier than any Of these, and that she
will be able to deal hard blows and at
the same time to take harder knocks
than any other battleship Of modern
construction. She will not be as speedy
by knot an hour as the battleship
Virginia, for instance, but. battleships
are not designed for speed. The cruis-
ers are the fast vessels of the navy.
Comparing the speed Of the different
vessels, the MINI sota will make eight
cen knots an hour, the Virginia nine
teen knots, while the South Dakota, an
armored cruiser, will make twenty two
knots. * IS

DrabkiA, in an interview, asserted that
there are $1,000 Jews fighting in the

when Jews fell in battle their burial

when death results in other Ways. The
Talmudic law requires that those who
fall IN battle shall be buried in their

There is a fine illustration to be seer

DEATH OF MR.. WILL HICKS.

Mr.. ]. viii Hicks, of this place, died
suddenly on the train in Atlanta on
Wednesday afternoon, August 3lst. He
had visited Atlanta that day and had
boarded the train to come home. He
was sitting down when it was noticed
that he was struggling for breath. He
was carried to the baggage car and
placed in reclining position, and just
as the Marietta accommodation train
pulled out his spirit took its eternal
flight. He was physically. diseased by
enlargement of a blood vessel about the
throat which made it difficult for him
to breath, and it FASTENED his death.
His remains were brought ito Marietta
