Mrs. Catherine Waugh Mccullough

answers as follows:
in the first place do not believe
that in any county outside of Cook
there has been any decrease. There
are various reasons for failing of in
Cook. IL q decrease should be found
there is good reason for IL. Voting is
a kindergarten experiment with wom-

promoted. They still are in the kin.

many of them vote now Is to keep in

IF il is desired to see what use the
women would make even OF their linn
tied suffrage. let either party nominate
for university trustee a reprobate. unfit

they be disfranchised?"

WILL ESTABLISH A BINDERY.
A Growing Necessity in This City to be
Soon Supplied.

Walter F. Tuesley has completed ar
engagements and placed orders for the
necessary equipment for establishing 4
first class book bindery and ruling estab-
lishment. Some of the machinery has
already been shipped, and that ordered
from the east will soon be on its way.
here. A suitable location has been So
cured upstairs over Carys grocery store,
No. IA North Second street, and as soon
as the plant is set up Mr.. Tuesley will
be ready to take care of a large amount
of work that has always gone hereto
fore to Spokane or the Sound cities, and
in fact, some of it to the east.
The plant will include one of the most
modern and expensive ruling machines
made, and with its aid Mr.. Tuesley will
be enabled to do any kind of regular or
special ruling that can be done in any
establishment on the coast, and do it
as well. 1t is his intention to make
and bind all kinds of blank books. and
rule stock for the loose leaf method of
accounts now in common use. and with
the facilities afforded he will be ready
to fill orders for any of this or similar
work on short notice This will be an
appreciated change as the customer will
not sustain the loss of time necessary
to get this class of work from the
Sound, and furthermore proofs of the
work can be seen, and satisfaction thus
guaranteed.
The bindery department is to be thor
oughly equipped, and capable of turn
ing out blank books, specially bound
books, music books, magazines, etc, in
as good shape as they can be done any
where. This department called for
large expenditure of money to secure
the machinery necessary, but Mr. Tues
ley has confidence in the existence of
the demand for an establishment of this
kind, and will devote his entire time and
energies to the upbuilding of the bust
ness. The plant will be ready for bus
mess about the first of the year.
