BREMERTON, Wash, Oct. IA
This little town of 1000 persons,
which adjOins the second and last
navy yard on the whole Pacific
coast, was all but asleep when a
sou'easter struck it full in the face.
Now Bremerton is booming.
The soueaster was in the form
of press dispatches to the effect
that BremertOn might be selected
as the site for the proposed big
Pacific naval base.
Secretary of the Navy Metcali
was here recently. He gave out
the tip in a sort of mysterious way
that something big was at last in
store for Bremerton. The exodus
stopped. A heavy influx is on now.
Puget sound, naval experts de-
clare, can be made a western Glib

SCRAPPlkC OVER WHO
SHALL WORK

BUTTE, Oct. IA lively row
is in progress between Miners
union officials and the carpenters
as to whether the carpenters or
miners shall be permitted to do
some county construction work.
The carpenters claim jurisdiction
over the work but the miners say
they need it, as a large number OF
their members are unemployed at
present on account of the shutting
down of a number of mines.
An interesting admission was
made by the carpenters. Their
business agent said that the union
scale for carpenters in the employ
of mining companies was $4.75 per
day, but that anyone else needing
a carpenter was charged Sc per
day. The entire controversy was
over about $50 worth of work.

CRUSHED BY
PASSING CARS

Tony Bosta, an Austrian, was
caught between an eastbound
Occur d Alene & Spokane train and
Traction car on Main av. near
Stevens st. yesterday morning and
his right arm was so badly crushed
DR.. e. r. Northrup was compelled
to amputate 1t. .
Bosta was late in catching the
train and jumped onto the wrong
side. He was in the act of climb
ing over the railing of the observa-
ton platform when the Traction
car came along. The suburban
coaches are so wide there Is not
room for a man between them and
another car. Even two common
sized streetcars will crush a man
of any size on the double tracks
of this city.
The accident yesterday shows
further need of better restrictions
in franchises. There should be
some stipulation as to the width
between each set of tracks No
such stipulation is mentioned in
any franchise given.

Pacific has branch line there.
The naval yard could be made a
railroad terminus by the construc-
ton of a line from Olympia to
Shelton and on through the 18TH
mus to Bremerton.
While this yard could be made
perfectly secure against attacks by
sea, it could also be made perfect
ly impregnable from attacks by
land. The only land approach is by
way Of the isthmus at Clifton be-
tween the extreme points of the
two arms of Puget sound. At that
point Hoods canal and North bay
are separated by high ridge three
miles wide, connecting Kitsap pen
insula with the main land.
The only possible approach to
that isthmus is by way of Olympia
and Shelton. When congress
wakes up and strongly fortifies
this isthmus, Puget sound will
have become one of the strongest
strategetic points in the world.

GOOD MONEY IN

Inspector Reardan as he turned to

his corns didn't indicate such a
change in the weather.
No, sub, gemmen, faint no

Jackson, the colored rat execution
err. whose presence in the doorway
caused the storm indications.
Tom is blacker than the ace of
spades. Ordinarily he is known as
the houstabout at the Centennial
mill, but now his fame has spread
far, for he has the reputation of
killing more plague breeding rats
than anyone in the city.
This morning he carried sack
containing 80 rate, which makes a
total Of 100 he has been paid 10
cents apiece for. A few weeks ago
when the board of health an
nounced a bounty on rodents, Tom
opclit HlS spare % lUI oU lIdpS
These he set around, about and in
and out of the mill and awaited de-
velopments. Next morning every
trap held rat of the kind the
health board wants exterminated.
Tom loaded them into a sack and
collected IS. Another morning he
caught lot more, only some of
them were not of the right breea
and he got no pay for them. These
he threw in the furnace He says
he has killed about 400 in all.
Up to date the city has paid for
800 rats. ABOUT all the small boys
in town are Toms rivals. The
other day he took a load up to w.
l.. Halls Office and left them there
for the rat experts opinion. Dur
ing his absence some kids with
rats came in and spotted Toms.
These they transferred to their
own sacks and were on their way
to the health office before Tom
showed up. He stands guard now
until he secured DR.. Halls opinion
and order for bounty.

The Puget Sound navy yard is

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14.-P.
H. Mccarthy says he will be San
Francisco's next mayor!
1t will take some good fighting
on the part of the old line parties
to keep him from fulfilling his
prophecy.
P. H. Mccarthy, for Is years
president of the Building Trades
council, is one of the best cam
paigners and shrewdest organizers
in western politics. Though he has
neither the cultivated intelligence
of Abraham Ruef nor the native
grace of former Mayor Eugene
Schmitz. he has the knowledge of
human nature, the dominant per-
sonality and the logged persever-
ance which accomplish great
things.
About 1896 Mccarthy was boss
carpenter of the old California no.
tel, and there Jas. d. Phelan, then
mayor of San Francisco, discovered
him. appointing him a civil service
commissioner Mccarthy, quietly,
doggedly and with the patience of
Job. organized the unpromising
union labor material into a political
force, securing, little by little. con
cessions in the way of wage sched-
ules and perfecting the framework
for a great political machine. At

MAY SETTLE STRIKE

BUTTE, Oct. 14.-The statement
that the Miners union of Butte had
served notice on the striking ma
chinists that they would uphold the
mining companies in shipping in
nonunion machinists is denied by
officers of the union. The miners
said they had asked the macninists
to be permitted to act as mediators
with the mining companies with a
view to ending the strike. A num-
Der of mines are now shut down in

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct 1.-THE
south Atlantic states have a big
waterways project of their own.
1t contemplates an all-water
route through Georgia, Alabama,
Tennessee and Kentucky, connect

the southeast into direct communi-
cation with middle west and the
great lakes.
The projected waterway is
called the Atlantic and Great
Western. 1t was proposed as long

In 1905 Mccarthy openly and ar

won back the power Ruef bad
taken from him. He anticipated
the crash of graft eXpoSureS-SOme
say he went so far as to hasten it
and, upon SchmitZ' conviction,
Mccarthy came back into his own.
Gradually he has been gathering
up the scattered fragments of the
disrupted labor machine and re-
forming it into a powerful organi-
cation. At the convention just
held it came to a test of power
and, though Mccarthy would have
liked to wait little longer, he met
the issue like a good general.
600 and possessed of an income OF
about $1,000 per month, Mccarthy
still lives. in the little, dingy cot

began his political activities a de-

Citizens alliance like poison and
his rare eXtravaganceS of speech
are directed against that body, to
whwcih he alleges the graft prose
cution, root and branch, belongs.
Mccarthy is going to make
great fight. He has convinced the
labor mognls of the east that his
defeat will sound the knell of
unionism in San Francisco and it
is asserted that Pres. Samuel Com
pers, of the American Federation
Of Labor. will come here in person
to supervise the campaign, even go
ing so far as to bid on the city's
bonds as guarantee OF McCarthy's
ability to restore confidence in the
East 1t is asserted that G5 per
cent of the total vote this year is
south and west of Sixteenth St,
which means it is entirely union
labor. If Mccarthy can patch up a
truce with the Casey-Egan boilers
his chances are all to the good,
but the democrats. reinforced by
the civic. non-partisan and good
government leaguers, as we'll as
the Independent vote. form a re-
dOubtable power and the fight will
be bitter no matter who wins.
Mccarthy says he is the only
man who can command industrial
peace, and asserts that if elected
he will give the city tie cleanest
government any American city
ever had. including impartial prose
cution of all violators of law with
out the aid of immunity baths or
packed juries." He promises a
shake-up in the police department
and much needed reforms in the
erection of public buildings, i'm
