several tanks of benzine exploded, causing
the fire to spread so rapidly that by the
time the fire department arrived sheets Of
flames enveloped the three upper floors on

train was stalled in the tunnel. with the air
steadily growing thicker and more difficult

stantIy assuring them that there was no
danger. The occurrence was the first time
a passenger train has ever been stalled IN

cuban Minister,s Arm Disabled.

Mr.. Quesada, the Cuban minister called
at the State Department this morning to
make inquiry regarding pending exiradi-
ton case. He carried his left arm in a
sling. but said he was unable TO explain
how It was disabled. 1t had become In
famed, but from what cause he did not
know, and was going to consult medical
advice on the subject. The condition of his
arm may be the result of the sting of some
poisonous insect or the accidental bite of
a pet dog, but the injury when inflicted
seemed so insignificant that he paid no at
tention to It at the time.

If extravaganza with public funds counts

bers of the legislature the constituents Of
many Of the members of the Ninth Legisla-
ture will not permit them to even return
home much less return them to the Tenth
Legislature. King county, with her seven
teen members in the house of representatives,
who have voted as unit on most PROPOSE
tions, and who since the sensational election,
have been paying off senatorial debts, have
used the big stick to pass some OF the most
outrageous measures ever trOtted through
legislative body. Aided by Joe LIndsley OF
Spokane, the King county bunch almost
passed the iremen's BILL which had for its
object the looting Cf the state treasury OF
81 100000 annually. The measure would
have slipped through had not Roth and Reid
detected the "nigger in the woodpile. They
attempted to pass plumbers bill, which
placed every man, woman and child IN the
state at the mercy Of those heartless human
vultures, who work two hours per day and
charge you up with eight hours straight and
one hour overtime. They have passed bill
appropriating sufficient public funds to pur-
chase one COPY Of Pierce's Code at So per
copy for each member when one can buy
carload of them for $3.50 per copy and then
feel he is out So per copy. A more willful

Now that the Ninth Legislature has elected
a United States senator and passed the cap
ital removal bill, the two most important
measures yet acted upon, the fate OF the
railroad commission bill is between the devil
and the deep sea, SO far as its passage IS con-
cerned Had the commission men been wise
they would have held up both Of the passed
measures until the commission bill had been
favorably acted upon, but for some reason
they did not, ad now the men with whom
they voted for United States senator and for
the capital removal are giving them the
'Fhorselaugh,' - and for the passage Of com
mission bill are telling them to go to HELEN
Hunt for it. It is safe to predict the Ninth
Legislature will give the farmers no more
relief from excessive railroad rates than pre-
vious bodies Of this kind in the state. Such
arbitrariness on the part of Republicans cost
the party nearly 10000 votes at the last
general election, and the Pie-Maker has no
hesitancy in predicting that it will cost them
the state sooner or later The railroad men,
however, do not give thinkers DAM as
to that for when they shall have ridden the
Republican party to death, then they will
give it's carcass kick and at once climb onto
the back of the dominant party. And why
not? Is it not fact that all of the railroad
kingpins in this state are Democrats? Ii you
answer yes, then what else could be expected
Of Democrats, but to work for the disruption
of the Republican party? This they are do
ing to a queens taste in the shape OF OBJ
structing legislation that would rebound to
the good of the Republican party. Ii the
members Of the legislature are honest Re
publicans they will take time by the forelock
and give the farmers the desired relief from
railroad overcharges.

it's favor, if the longevity of the human life
in this state is not extended at least dozen

almighty himself will personally intervene

of the office There was, it must be admitted,
a grain of method in his madness, but there is
no justification in such plea at this time. Mr..
Stewart has held the office for five years, and,
if he ever expects to know anything about 1t,
he should now know it, and he should be per-
fecty competent at this time to break Repub-
ican in and if he does not, then he is Repub
lcan only for selfish purposes. But George M.
Stewart is not that kind of Republican, and
he will do in this instance as he has always
done, build up the Republican party and not the
Democratic party which he will do if he re
tains Colkett as his deputy. There are 10000
Republicans in King county just as well, and
even better, qualified to act as assistant post
master as j. W. Colkett, and any and all OF
them are worthy and deserving of this piece of
federal patronage, and they should have it. Ii
patronage is not for the party workers, then
why have any party at all? The Republican
has no candidate for the place except some
straig ightforward, true blue Republican, and that,
too, without regard to faction. 1t is not Gus
tomary to give Republican jobs to Democratic st

this matter, and all because you have IN the
past hung out your sign to the effect you be-
leved Republican positions should be for Re
publican workers. Are you going to practice
what you have been preaching?
Why comes all this objection the part Of
the members of the legislature, and especially
the members from King county, to the passage
of "direct primary law? Are they afraid
it will mean their undoing politically? Are
they in the same fix as was the Irishman, who
was in court facing a grave charge? He sat
meditating over his future. Amid his deep de-
spondency he was consoled by the judge "tO

That many Of them deserve defeat and know
they will get it if direct primary law is passed
