Spokane and talked over old times with
the men who used to do politics on the
east side.
sullivan came back convinced that
the men he had seen from various east
ern Washington counties had the dis
tricts in their pockets and were willing
TO deliver. He made trips into other
parts of the state and found other old
time leaders buried in political land
slides of the last few years. They were
all eager for the elixir that had re-
stored Potter Charles, and they lined
up grandIy-the old guard of stay-at-
homes. But Potter Charles had the
map to prove that he, being for the mo-
ment King county, had the state under
his control.
Potter Charles had to go to Tacoma
to wake up The old guard was not
there. Railroad passes do not go to
men that fail to carry their own pre-
cincts and Potter Charles was up
against the proposition Of doing poll
ties with men who had come into pow
err since his time.
In the maneuVering prior to the con-
vention Potter Charles was outgener-
aIed by his old pupil and law partner,
Walter Christian, but that is another
story. 1t would not have happened,
possibly. if the various localities in
which Potter Charles was interested
had the good grace to send the politi-
clans to the convention with whom
Potter Charles used to do business in
the years gone by. But the resurrec-
ton that was for Sullivan was not for
them. Only one of the old guard heard
the trumpet's call.

Stopping the Press.

Sam" Davis. the editor of the Vir-

noyed by a rival who was continually
stopping the press to announce that
a piece of late news. There was
hardly day that the rival did not
say. We stopped the press to an
nOunce that" somebody had died,
moved, been born, run away, lost
money at cards, sold a mine bought a
new hat or been arrested.
So one day Davis inserted the fol-
lowing on the front page Of his paper
double-leaded and under the heading
"Important:"
We stop the press to announce that
there is no news of sufficient import
ance to justify us in stopping the

CURIOUS JAPANESE MAPS.


Tourists returning from Japan have
brought back seceral curious prOduc-
tons of the Japanese, among them
unique map of Europe and Asia, the
most conspicuous feature of which is
Russia, represented as an ugly octo-
puS while the other countries are
drawn to represent human figures, each
either clutched in or trying to avoid
the tentacles of the forbidden crea-
ture.
The map which is done in bright
colors, is entitled "A Humorous Diplo-
matte Atlas of Europe and Asia" but
there is nothing humorous about its APP
pearance. China is a Chinaman in
crouched attitude and with an express
sion of agony on his face. one tenta-
Gle encirces his uplifted arm, which
covers Manchuria.
the man representing Tibet. whose
other arm is clinging to China's robe.
India, to the south, armed with a large
sword, is shown showing away the ten
tacle that stretches beyond Tibet in
that direction.
Persia is grasped tightly about the
NV of while
two others hold Turkey, one wrapped
about the Turks leg and another
around the waist, which represents the
BospOrus. Two other tentacles encir-
cles Poland and Finland, in the dark
outlines of which shine spectral white
skulls.
The British isles are represented by
three soldiers one pointing a cannon
towards the octopus, the other two
armed with sword and rifle. Germany
a soldier heavily armed and standing
| in the midst of a great pile of ammun.-
| ton, is shown pushing off the tentacle
| that surrounds Finland. France is an
| other soldier with large cannon aimed
at Russia Austria and Hungary occu-
| by attitudes of fear. Spain is repre-
a little girl who is pulling q string of
jumping jack which is labeled
| Pope"
Japan, out of reach of the tentacles,
! is a Japanese soldier standing on a
cannon, weaving a flag and firing a
pistol in Russia's direction. Korea sits
in an attitude of prayer in front of the
| soldier.
In the upper left-hand corner of the
map, in an artistic border, is written in
English script:
BLACK Octopus" is a name newly
given to Russia by a certain prominent
| Englishman. For the black actopus is
so avaricious that he stretches out his
eight arms in all directions and seizes
up everything that comes within his
reach. But, as it sometimes happens
he gets wounded seriously, even by q
small fish, owing to his too much COW
etousness. Indeed, a Japanese provert
says: Great avarice is like unselfsh-
ness"
We Japanese need not to say much
on the cause of the present war. Suffice
it to say that the further existence OF
the Black Octopus will depend entirely
upon how he comes out of this war

WILL NOT UNDER
TAKE ANY NEW WORK IN
FRANKLIN COUNTY.
Will Continue Investigations WhIch
Were Begun a Year Ago IN
That Section.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10
Considerable uncertainty surrounds
the announcement of Secretary Hitch
cock that he has set aside $l,50o'ooo
for the reclamation of lands in the
vicinity of Pasco, Washington This
money has been diverted from the re-
clamation fund, to which Washington
has been one of the heaviest contrlbu-
tors. 1t is presumed that it will be
expended in the construction of canals
for diverting the waters of Snake river
onto the low-lying fertile lands east OF
Pasco in the Snake river valley. But
It's impossible to obtain from the de-
partment any definite statement of its
intentions.
Examinations heretofore made in
Eastern Washington have shown that
from $4,000 to 100000 acres in the
Palouse country con be reclaimed by
using the waters of Snake river, at
cost of about $25 per acre. In view
of the fact that these lands are fertile,
and are situated close to the railroad,
this is not considered a high price.
But there are a number of obstacles
vet to be overcome before the gov
eminent can actually begin the con-
struction of an irrigation system near
PascO.
A considerable portion Of the lands
lying under this Pasco or Palouse pro-
the greater portion of them have passed
into private ownership. Under the
terms of the reclamation act, the gov
eminent cannot reclaim those lands un-
til it has definite assurances from the
settlers that they will pay their pro-
pOrtionate cost of the irrigation sys-
Whatever the cost may be, for all their
lands which are irrigated from the
government canals. OF course settlers
who take up public lands under this
project do so with the distinct under
standing that they will pay this price
per acre, in addition to complying
with the homestead law.
The Palouse project, while in one
sense a separate and distinct work, is
in reality a part of the great Big Bend
project, to which the government has
given a great deal of attention. This
major project contemplates the irriga
ton Of nearly 100000 acres of land,
at an estimated cost of at least S25,-
00e 900. The fact that the entire re-
clamatiOn fund to date, has been ap
pOrtioned prevents the government
from committing itself to the Big Bend
project. but it is asserted that in time
this great work Will be undertaken.
The Palouse project is q starter, so to
speak, and its success, if attempted,
will prove a strong argument in ia
| vor of the completion of the Big Bend
project,
During the present summer the gov
eminent will not undertake the con-
| struction of any irrigation works near
Pasco, but will continue it's investiga-
| tons, begun a year ago. Before any
thing definite can be done, more COM
