opposition.
F. A. Kennel of Prosser, then
proceeded to futher cinch the con-
troll of the west end by moving that
Chairman Taylor, Of Prosser,
should appoint credentials conf
mittee of seven members. N. r.
Sylvester and others contended for
committee of one from each pre-
cinct but were turned down, al
though this is the only fair way to
select committee and is the meth
Cd used by conventions of all parties
SO that the memory Of man rupneth
not to the contrary. The commit
tee was appointed as follows:
F. A. Kennel, Prosser; O. B.
Fields, Rattlesnake; J. L. Owens,
Prosser; J. P. Keaton, Glade; DR..
Hedger, Kiona; R. B. Crawford,
Wellington.
The committee, after stormy ses-
sion Of three or four hours, threw
out Expansion precinct, reduced
White Bluffs to one woe and Hover
precinct not arriving the total
strength of the convention was S.
votes.
The temporary organization was
maq- permanent and resolutions
ex,olling Bryan and declaring for
the election of senators by direct
vote were read.
Nominations were next in order.
Bert Linn in fowery speech NAM
ed G. w. Hamilton, of Prosser,
and Mr.. Palmer named DIR. F. S.
Hedger, of Kiona, and the ballot
was taken.
For Hedger,
Finley 4, Kennewick 10, Kioua s,
Richland 4, Wellington 4. Total 20
For Hamilton,
Glade S, Prossor IA, Patterson ;,
Rattlesnake s, Wellington 1, White
Bluffs 1. Total 80.
At this point the delegates of the
east end precincts, with the excep-
ton of one or two left the hall aud
went to the depot to come home on
No. 4 and leave the field to Prosser.
Frank Enligh left the hall the lat
est of any and the nominations
were being ground out at a rapid
rate alternating between Prosser
and Rattlesnake. D. H. Harper,
of Prosser, was nominated for COM
missioner in the first district. No
candidate from the third district
was named so that Don F. Cress-
we'll will have no opposition for re-
election.
Harry Fisk of Prosser was named
for treasurer and a sop was thrown
to Kennewick by nominating Gin
ton Stacer for prosecuting attorney
after Bert Linn had refused the
nomination. Alex McNeill was
placed before the convention for re-
nomintion by Frank Emigh, of
Kennewick just as he was leaving
the hall for the train. No one re-
manned to learn the names OF the
remainder of the ticket but they
will all be found in either Prosser
or Rattlesnake precincts.

The first democratic convention
in Benton county was called to or
der by G.. w. Hamilton, chairman
of the county central comm ttee and
Attorney Bert Linn, the sei rotary,
read the call. Judge Hamilton
then made a few remarks in which
he expressed the opinion that the
Democrats might win this fall al
though they were minority party
in the county, on account of dlssat-
isfacion OF Pro>ser republicans with
their own ticket. The democrats
should name ticket which would
be properly distributed throughout
the county and be satisfactory and
responsible to all the people of the
county.
Nominations for a temporary
chairman were called for and May
or E. w. X. Taylor of Prosser was
named by Col. c. G. Baker and J..
A. Rose, of Kennewick, named Dr.
w. F. Lampson.
The fight was on. The vote by
precincts was called aud the roll
call proceeded until the White
Bluffs precinct was reached. Frank
Emigh objected to that precinct
voting as no caucus had been held
there and that the delegate had DC
proper credentials.
The convention then INDUCED in
long tedious, heated and some
times angry discussion as to wheth-
er challenged delegations should
have the right to vote on the tenn
porary organization. The chair
man of the Central Committee, G..
w. Hamilton presiding, steadfast.
ly ruling that the convention could
not take up and settle the question
of contesting delegations. Nc.
Laughlin, the sole delegate from
White Bluffs finally got the floor
and stated that those who challeng-
ed that precinct on the ground tina,
no meeting had been held, did no,
know of what they were talking.
He was the only democrat in the
precinct and how could one demo.
crat hold a meeting and who would
sign his or dentials. Some one in
the crowd suggested that he should
have consulted ]. r. McKeand on
that question. 1t was finally set
tied by motion allowing McLaugh-
lin to cast his own vote but cutting
off his proxies. Expansion pre-
cinct was also challenged. Prosse1
a usual had run in one of her resi-
dents to cast the vote of that pre-
cinct. He was allowed to vote in
spite of Kennewick and Kiona' S
strenuous objection. The roll call
then proceeded,
For Lampson,

For Taylor, of Prosser,

When the vote was announce
the Prosser crowd whooped it up in
long uproarious applause. Several
republicans of that precinct could
be seen vigorously pounding the
floor and pumping ont their citation.

Some of the men leaned against the
bulwark and silently watched the
points of the island as we passed. The
women hardly stirred from their
places. They were occupied with
their babies, as usual, or. lay about in
the unbroken wretchedness Of despair
Two girls of about 10 or 16, evidently
sisters, whom | had before noticed
for certain pathetic beauty now sat
hudd!ed together hand in hand, quietly
crying. They were just the kind OF
cOncubines, and ! have little doubt
that they are concubines or planters
now. But they cried because they
feared they would be separated when
they came to land.
In the confusion of casting anchor
| stood by them unobserved, and in
a low voice asked them a few ques.

Are you slaves or not?"
"Of course we are slaves!"
would YOU like TO go back?"
The delicate little brown hands
were stretched out, palms downward,
and the crying began afresh.

Skilled men are employed to travel
through the Maine woods on .snowshoes
all winter for the purpose of estimat-
ing the value of the standing growth
and to pick out sites for lumber camps.
Through information furnished by
these men the proprietors of the timber
lands are able to fix the stumpage rate

Cruisers is the name by which such
men are known. They go for weeks
at a time without seeing a human be-
ing. They carry their food in packs
strapped TO their backs, and sleep un-
der brush shelters before open fires
built among snowdrifts.

matches, and he can pick up his own
