DEMOCRATS WILL WIN
so SAYS CHAIRMAN GOODWIN
OF STATE COMMITTEE.

Return From the Mountain Top Where lie
Viewed the promised Land''-Mead Doing
Himself No Good in Explaining Motives Of
Tacoma Convention - Why Cushman Went
East-wanted to Dodge Making Present
Record for Future Emergencies.
J. w. Goodwin, State Chairman Of
the Democratic forces OF the State OF
Washington, in an interview states
that Eastern Washington is over
whelmingly Democratic and predicts
success for the entire ticket.
al have just returned from three
weeks visit to Eastern Washington
and find the sentiment there simply
overwhelming in favor of the Demo.
cratic State ticket" said Mr.. Goodwin.
"Our county committees over there
are excellently organized in each
county and are doing the most eflec-
tive work that has ever been done.
Our State ticket will carry that section
by very large majority.
Mr.. Mead was over there making
speeches at the same time that was
there and time and time again heard
expressions from leading, loyal Repub-
licans that Mr.. Mead's excuses for the
action Of the railroad convention held
in Tacoma were doing him no good.
| find the same condition over here.
"Our campaign on the west side is
progressing nicely and the Republican
convention which was held here last
Saturday, the fame of which has spread
to all parts OF the State, is helping lis
along. The railroad lobby, under
stand, turned down Fenton Merrill, an
avowed commission man, for the nom.
ination of Senator.
"In fact in this convention the rail.
roads showed their hand palmer than
at any other county convention held
in this State since the Tacoma con.
ventiOn. The people will not stand
for this railroad contingent that tries
10 dominate every assembly of voters
that is held"
In reply to q query as to why Con-
gresham Cushman left the State on
the eve OF so important campaign, Mr..
Goodwin said:
81 have heard it stated by Republi-
cans close to the Republican State
Central Committee that the reason for
Mr.. Cushman's departure was that he
would not make personal campaign
against Judge Turner. Cushman
doubtless realizes that before long he
may be before his party in this State
for a nomination and will want the
support of the pro.commission Repub.
licans when that time comes"
When told that while the Republi-
can convention was on in Tacoma, C.
E. Coon, Republican candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, was not asked TO
appear on the platform or make an
address, Goodwin expressed great sur
prise.

The Sleepy" Woodchuck.

If there is any one of our native animals
that looks slow, clumsy, ''lazy, and gen
orally unfit to survive in the struggle for
existence, it is the woodchuek, says Coun-
try Life in America After he has built,
or rather excavated, his home-which, to
tell the truth, he does in rapid and bust
ness-hke way-he does nothing but eat
and sleep. Yet, any one who sizes him
up as an Incompetent is likely to get fooled,
for he is a source of continual surprises.
When your garden is not far from the
woods, you may be awakened in the mid
die Of the night by series of most alarm
ing wells and howls, Occasioned by some
hungry woodchuck that has come for a
noctural visit to the cabbage patch and met
with a warm reception from our two dogs
The woodchuck usually gets away appar-
entity unharmed, while the dogs are left to
nurse their scratched noses and forepaws.
The woodchuck, in fact, has plenty of
courage, aud will always fight in prefer
ence to running away.
Throughout the summer this little wood
pig spends most of his time in the vicinity
of his burrow, coming out early in the
morning TO take his breakfast, returning
to his nest for morning nap, appearing
again at noon and late in the afternoon for
his dinner and supper, only to return again
for another snooze Occasionally he makes
a visit to some BeighbOring orchard or gar
den. By October first, when he is fat, he
retireS into his subterranean home for a
long sleep, until, we are led to believe, the
proyerbial grounding day.

Inoculatin9 the Ground.
FrOm Naiioua, Geographic Magazine.

FROM National GeogrAp phie Magazine.
To inoculate sterile ground and make
il bring forth fruit in abundance Is one of
the latest achievements of American
science. Some Of man most dread dis
eases-smallpox, diphtheria, plague, rabies
have been vanquished by incubation,
aud now incubation is to cure soil that has
been worn out aud make it fertile and pro-
ductive again.
The germs that bring fertility are mailed
by the Department Of Agriculture in a
small package ike yeast cake. The
cake contains millions Of dried germs. The
farmer who receives the cake drops it into
a barrel of clean water; the germs are re-
vived aud seon turn the water to milky
white Seeds of clover, peas, alfalfa or
other leguminous plants that are then
soaked in this milky preparation are en-
dowed with marvellous strength. Land on
which for instance, the farmer with con-
slant toll had obtained alfalfa only few
inches high when planted with these in
oculated seeds will produce alfalfa several
feet high and so rich that the farmer does
not recognize his crop.

How to Live Long.

at seventy five or eighty, is a misnomer
Comparative Psychologists, we are told,

The Egg Habit.

declare that there is no way on. earth of
breaking dog of the habit of sucking eggs
when he once acquires it An experiment
was recently tried on a dog that had de-
veloped a taste of raw eggs, and if he ever
sucks another, he is worse than an idiot
dog. This dog always cleaned out nest
when he started in on it, and he always
started in on it as soon as he found one,

one eco or dozen. His owner blew an
egg, filled the shell with spirits Of ammo
