AN AlBlNO MARTEN
Vancouver Island Trapper Lands Freak
of Nature Highly Valued.

VANCOUVER, B. c., June ia
marten has just been brought to town
by Hunter j. Goad. He trapped this
curious specimen on Lake Nimpkish,
at the northern end of Vancouver Is
land. The usual color of a marten is
dark brown and the animal generally
has a black streak down the back. This
specimen is of a rich orange color
streaked with white. Most martens
have a dash of orange around the
throat; on this one the color has taken
the place of the dark brown all over
the back, while underneath the brown
is so slight that it is rather a dirty
white. The usual price of a marten is
IS, but Mr. Goad says $25 is the least
price for this small animal which ma
ture has marked so curiously. He
states that it is the only one of its kind
ever trapped on the Pacific Coast and
probably in the world
This is not the only freak that Mr..
GOad has secured on Vancouver Island
Some months ago he obtained an abb

MAY TRY FOR A STATE OFFICE
GEORGE Mudgett Is Being Doomed for
State Treasurer.

SPOKANE, June 13.-Frlends
of County Treasurer George Mudgett
say he seriously considers withdrawing
as a democratic candidate for sheriff
and entering the race for state treas
urer. Democrats who want to attack
County Clerk Erwin for switching Of
fees" have been urging Mr.. Mudgett
not to make a similar switch, because
by so doing he would deprive them of
considerable campaign thunder. Mr..
Erwin has served two consecutive
terms as clerk and is now the noml-
nee for treasurer. Mr.. Mudgett has
served two consecutive terms as treas
urer. and were he to be nominated for
sheriff he would be in the same boat
with Mr.. Erwin.
If Mr. Mudgett withdraws as a can
tidate for sheriff it will leave the field
practically clear to August Use. If he
stays in the race he and Mr.. Use prob
ably will have a hard fight in the pri-
maries. Mr.. Mudgett could not be
found yesterday.

good. Naturally we did the same.
But this settles it. Hereafter only
the record goes. While l am not dis
posed to believe that you can find
many lawyers who would do anything
of this sort we will not take any
chances. l have the word of Smith
that he received telephone message
to the effect stated. And on the
strength of that message Allison re-
manned in the county Jail when he
should have been in the penitentary."
By remarkable coincidence Allison
broke out of Jail one day before the
statutory time for perfecting the fic-
titious appeal would expire. Had he
delayed another day the fact that no
notice of appeal had been served
would have been discovered.

deal with the matter of preventing the
depletion of the salmon fisheries, es-
pecially on the United States side. The
Dominion government has replied that
the better method would be to adopt
joint Regulations for the preservation
of the fisheries, which the joint high
commission reported in favor of some
years ago, but which the United
States has so far ignored" That dip
lomatic reply practically ends the mat

the fisheries here that it is a polite way

ward for the opening Of the salmon
packing season. The cannerymen do
not place any stock in the Indian talk
of plenty snow, plenty fish, They
say experience has proven that the
runs of salmon repeat themselves, OBJ
viOus to weather conditions, and that
this is to be about half year. They
are preparing for a catch to that eX-
tent. Should their belief be proved to
be wrong they will be able to take
care of any extra fish.
There is not likely to be any trouble
on the Frazer river between the Japs
and the whites this year. The little
brown men have practically taken the
river away from the Caucasians. They
have also got hold of the fishboat-
building business which was formerly
confined to the whites. The coming of
the japanese, while it may have bene-
fitted the Gamers, has certainly proved
deadly to the white fishermen and boat
builders. Many who were prominent
| on the river a few years ago have
sought land trades. The Japs have
driven them away.

rounded up at the Aragon hotel for
their silver jubilee meeting. The pro-
ceedings begin this evening with an
address of welcome by Mayor George

Japan's Fine Medical Service.

LONDON, June ia dispatch from
Mukden states that the Russian SOL
ders habitually speak with contempt
Of the quality of the Japanese troops
The Japs, they say, are good coolies,
but only in that respect are they ex-
cellent, but all the evidence that has
reached the Russian headquarters as
to the Japanese hospitals and their
medical and surgical arrangements
generally is unanimous as to the ex-
cellence of that part of the enemy's
equipment.
Two wounded men of the 18th Rus
sian regiment, which suffered SO Sc
verely at Kinlien-cheng, managed to
escape through the enemy's lines, and
have reached Mukden. These men
speak in enthusiastic terms of the
manner in which the Japanese treat
the Russian wounded. The Japanese
army doctors, they say, are splendid
of all the Russian wounded. Each
Russian officer taken prisoner is sup
piled with a separate tent, and is al
lowed to superintend the preparation
of the food Of the Russian wounded.
Temporary assistance is given to the
Japanese wounded in splendidly ar
ranged field hospitals. About $50 Rus
sian wounded were carefully attended
to in the Japanese camp, and the rela-
lions between them and the enemy's
troops were excellent, based, says the
correspondent, upon the true COM
radeship and friendship of mutually
respecting soldiers The Japanese
doctor removed the wounded from the
field of battle without regard to ma
tionality.
AS it was practically impossible to
remove all the wounded from the
ground to the field hospital without de-
lay, those whom surgical aid would
most likely cure We're taken in hand
first, and the more serious cases We're
given first aid in the field. When
ever a wounded man was discovered,
whether Russian or Japanese, he was
placed on his feet, and if able to stand
unsupported for a few seconds he was
taken on litter to the hospital.
Cruelties were undoubtedly perpe-
trated on the Russian wounded, but
the miscreants were invariably Chi
nese, who are bitterly Russian. 1t
it said to be a common remark among
the Chinese. IF the Japanese win in
this war we will send basketfulls of
Russian ears to Pekin."

FORMER MINNESOTAN LOOMS
UP ON DEMOCRATIC HORIZON
ABOVE OTHERS.
1t Is Claimed That He Will Answer
the Demands of All the
Factions.

NEW YORK, June 13.-The Parker
candidacy has not been helped greatly
| by the action of the Georgia state con-
vention, which, after hard fight, in
structed it's delegates by a narrow
margin to vote for him. If Georgia
| had failed to instruct, Parker would
have been hit a body blow, for it was
Georgia, which first encouraged his
candidacy and gave his northern
| friends to believe that he was a favor
| tie in the south, and that Endorsement
| of him at Albany would be quickly fol-
| lowed by Endorsement in all the south
| ern states.
Perhaps this would have been the
| result had the Albany convention been
more near.y unanimous. The cat and
dog time the democrats had at Albany
| caused the party at large to hesitate
about Endorsement, and Georgia is one
| ficially that it's choice is Parker, not
withstandng the New York split.
Just at this time an attempt is being
made to create a combination Of prom
inent eastern and northern democrats
against Parker, and if it succeeds his
case will be we'll night hopeless.
Senator German, accompanied by
Colonel Guffey, who controls the Penn
sylvania delegation, and Senator Bail
ely Of Texas spent several days in New
York recently in conference with DEM
ocratic leaders of that state. Precise
ly what was accomplished, if anything,
cannot be ascertained definitely, but
the impression created is that German,
Guffey and Bailey tried to explain to
the New Workers. that Parker ought
not to be nominated.
Obviously this combination would
turn, first to German, and after him to
some dark horse, presumably c. A.
Towne
Mr.. Towne has been spending a
gra&t deal of time in Washington of
late, and he has had frequent confer
ences with German and with we'll
known democrats from the south, some
of whom he has met by appointment,
and some by accident at the democratic
congressional headquarters, which for
the present are located here.
Towne as Dark Horse.
Towne appears to be a very prom
Using dark horse, and events may
easily shape themselves in the cOnven-
ton to make his nomination possible.
He answers nearly every one of the
prerequisites. He lives in New York,
is in good standing with both Murphy
and Hill, would be loyalty supported
by the gold democracy and by the Bry-
antics, and on the stump would be able
to make himself heard and felt. 1t is,
of course far from certain that he will
be the nominee in the event that Par
ker and German should fail, but a
very respectable element of the party
is inclined to turn to him as a logical
compromise candidate.
Towne has never said that he was a
candidate, nor will he say so. If his
name goes before the national conven-
ton it will be after several ballots have

UGLY FACTS OF JAIL BREAK
F. 3. WiestIng's Name Is Connected
With AIIison's Attempted Escape.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 13.-Ugly
facts in connection with the attempt
to deliver the King County Jail of prs
oners have cropped out. These con-
meet with the affair the name of At
torney Frank B. Wrestling, who repre-
scented j. B. Allison, one of the men
trial. Jailer Smith says that Wiestl-
ing telephOned to him more than two
months ago that notice of appeal had
been given in the Allison case. No
such notice was given. AS q conse-
quence Allison was being held in the
county jail on seemingly false repre-
sensations. The affair will be tho
roughly investigated.
Allison should be in the penitentiary
now. His commitment was made out
March 8. He had been sentenced to
twenty years February q. He would
have gone to Walla Walla long ago had
not Wrestling telephoned to Jailer
Smith that the notice of appeal had
been served.
Such notice was never served,
neither in open court nor by paper on
the office OF. the prosecuting attorney.
Both the records in the office of the
clerk of the court and in the office of
the prosecuting attorney show this to
be true.

disclosed something resembling a dead
lock. The guess of the anti-Parkel
is that that gentleman will
at no time have to exceed 400 votes
while they incline to make the limit
800 votes. If he should stand at the
maximum figure for three or four bal
lots, then the break would begin and
the convention would turn to a COM
promise man.
Right for All Factions.
Towne, it is claimed, answers the
demands of all factions more COM
pletely than anybody else who can be
named. All factions could accept him
without sacrifice of any principle OF
prejudice. This cannot be said of Cor
man, of Cleveland, of Gray, or of any
of the other candidates who come
trailing after Parker.
There are many democrats of sound
judgment aud conservative views who
regard TONNES nomination as almost
certain. They think that Parker can
not win, and that after Parker the con-
vention will necessarily turn to some
man who occupies the ground where
Towne is, and has his general qualifi-
cations and Endorsements.

seen and not watched. Last summer
spent many days trolling for fish in
the Pacific ocean. Strange to say, l
cid not have to see a fish before l
knew what was on the end of the line.
The big mackerel would pull steadily
in a straight line. The thick bodied
albicore would at once dive to the bot
tom of the sea. The strong tinned yel-
lowtail would seesaw, now on this side
of the boat, now on the other, and only
the gaff hook could stop his struggles.
The barracuda would seem to swim
toward the boat. Like tender mouth
ed horse. each pull of the line would
make him obey your will the quicker.
The sea bass would come to the sur
face. and you would have to be care
full or. like a trapeze performer, he
would turn a complete somersault over
your line and be off. So men in COM
munity. like some fish in the sea, are
known by their neighbors in their pri-
vate lives even though those men may
think they are unseen. They all have
