Turner for governor, and who con-
ferred July % at Spokane with Mr..
Turner on the candidacy of the latter.
MIR. Mead was a memb6. Of that leo
l>Iature. but the presence Of Steven

right The Canadian Pacific is in

A Pretty Compliment.

There were a peachy trio and they
were standing at Broadway and Lo-
Gust street rather, they were just
starting to cross the street. Near
the car tracks they were met by two
high-bred, well-dressed youngsters,
and Immediately there was a great
flutter of greetings. 1t was hard
to tell who Was tickled most-Mae,
Bessye and Nell or Joe and Charley
The crowd kept rushing by and
the five young people stood there
like so many snags parting the wa
tiers of a swift current. 1t was dis
agreeable to them and TO all passers.
Finally n of the young men, in
tending to reach a better place to
talk, said:
"Here, girls, come on over here
and make Mermod & Jaccard's win
dows look like thirty cents"

when the air is excluded the germ il
