for Sweeny had much more to deliver
and he gave it personally. At the time
he made it plain that he would not
demand any favor in return and there
is no doubt but that for the past two
years he has figured himself out of
politics.
To close personal friends Sweeny
has declared he would regard the SEN
atorship eagerly if Ankeny dropped
out and he has asked the same ques-
ton as to what King county would do
that other politicians have asked
Sweeny may come over here to find
out for himself, but just now no one
really knows.
1t is pretty generally understood
even among newcomers that Piles
would no. have been elected without
Sweeny's help. If Sweeny finds it
possible to become a candidate for
senator and should ask for return
of the favor he did King county each
individual voter will have to answer
the question of reciprocity, for pop
ular vote on the senatorship is to be
had next year. King hasn't had a
very good memory for past favors and
the divided responsibility of prim-
airy election will bring the question
home to each voter.

TO ENLARGE HIS DUTIES
Oil Inspector Has New Problems
to Solve

SEATTLE, June Estate Oil In
spector F. A. Clark is facing a problem
as a result Of the enactment of the
new oil inspection law, which goes
into effect June IA, which provides for
the extension of his activity 20 ,ne
distillates of petroleum, as we'll as the
kerosene, which heretofore have been
immune from inspection in Washing
ton. The new law covers gasoline.
benzine, naptha, distillate, kerosene,
and all the volatile forms of petroleum.
The problem comes in connection with
the inspection of gasoline used by the
launches of the fishermen on the CO.
lumbia river, and the question Is
whether this shall be inspected by the
authorities of this state
Oregon has no oil inspection law"
said Mr.. Clark, on his return from the
over the ground. Most of the gaso-
line used by the fishermen in the
Columbia, amounting to 1000 gallons
day, is purchased in Oregon, and has
therefore never been subjected to the
Washington tests. The boats, how
ever, are used in fishing on the Wash
ington side. 1t is my intention to en-
force the new law to the extent of my
ability, and propose to inspect all the
dlstlllates which the law requires to
be Inspected There is some question
as to how we shall proceed in this
matter, and l intend to refer the stu
alton to the attorney general for his
opinion as to the liability to inspec-
ton of the Oregon oil used in those
vessels. The methods of inspection
also have yet to be determined 1t
VIII probably be necessary to send one
deputy down to the Columbia river to
attend to that work exclusively during
the fishing season, which lasts about
three months. The charge for the in
spection is one-fifth of cent per
gallon, making the amount to be COL
lected by the state, if all the distillates
used on the fishing boats can be in
spected, So per day.
Mr.. Clark will appoint two additional
deputies as soon as the new law goes
into effect. He announced Saturday
the names of the new men. They are
{. A. Wolfland of Asotin county and
Z. q. Stratton of Ballard. Mr.. Wolf
land will have charge of the Columbia
river work and all of Eastern Wash
lngton, while Mr.. Stratton will have
the smaller towns of Western WASH
lngton, leaving the Seattle and Ia
coma work for H. E. Thomas the
present deputy
