IT you believe in and support the
direct primary law, Senator, can you
not see that it is your duty, both as
citizen and United States sena-
tor, to release the King county men

self the discredit in the history of
your state of having attempted to
exact politically your pound of flesh?
However, l am free to admit that
l do not think your man Croker
would permit this act of decency,

it.
I should inform you that did not
read your interview in the Seattle
Times of June Fl, to which you re-

Animal Life,

The whale leads all animals IN point
of longevity. his age being placed con-
servatively at 800 to LOCO years. The
tortoise comes next, with all age limit
extending from 100 TO 200 years. The
elephant. the camel. the eagle and the
crocodile are each credited with 100
years and upward. The carp is an
elusive creature. its age having been
figured at from seventy-fve to $50
years. Tigers. leopards. jaguars and
hyenas live some twenty-five years in
confinement and probably much longer
in the wilderness. Swans. parrots and
ravens live 200 years, pelicans forty TO
fifty years. hawks thirty to forty.
geese eighty years. monkeys and bab-
oons sixteen to eighteen, squirrels and
rabbits seven years. queen bees four

THE GEO. B. HOWARD COMPANY.

The Bulletin of Aberdeen writes:
'sBest Ever in Aberdeen.-GeO. B.
Howard & Company Furnishing
Excellent Entertainment.
Because of the fact, perhaps, that
repertoire companies which appeared
here in the past have not been capa-
BILE, there is a prejudice in Aberdeen
against troupes which play week
stands. But the Bulletin wishes to
impress upon pleasure lovers the fact
that if they miss the offerings
of the Howard company this week
they will miss rare treat. Those
who attended Sunday nights per-
Torrance were loud in their praise of
the work of the company and those
present last evening were even more
enthusiastic. The company is actu-
ally one of the very best which has
ever appeared at the Grand, and a
most excellent quality of entertain
ment is being offered. The Bulletin
gladly recommends the repertoire
combination to theatregoers-a rec
ommendation which is seldom forth
coming. But Geo. B. Howard e
Company is deserving of liberal pa
tronage. Mr.. Howard Is a clever
actor, with an original stage pres
ence that pleases, and he is support
ed by frst-class people"
Mr.. Howard and his company will
make their initial appearance to-
night, presenting that laughable
farce comedy, christopher Jr." The
following is what the Tacoma News
says editorially:
Patrons of the Tacoma theatre
will hardly be heard to complain OF
disappointment in Geo. B. Howard,
who put them through different de-
grees of merriment, from happy hui
NOR to Mysteries, during his engage

verest critics will not concede him to
be the coming comedian, their only
alternative is to admit that he is go

BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC

The picnic held by the Baptist
Sunday school up the Squilichuck
on The Fourth, was a very enjoyable
affair, over one hundred of the schol-
ars being present, and the dinner
that was spread in the cool shade
would have made a king envious.
Pitching horseshoes by the older
members both men and women, grew
very exciting at times, while the
younger folk enjoyed themselves in
sack racing, foot racing, swinging
and climbing the mountains. Every
one thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
ana the occasion will long be remem-
bered by the scholars of the Sunday
school and their friends.

The largest of all mammals are not

About forty different kinds of whales

CORTELYOU SENDS
 LETTER OF THANKS
SECRETARY IS PLEASED WITH ACTION OF BIRMINGHAM BODIES IN APPROVING HIS METHOD OF FINANCIAL RELIEF.

Washington, January 1S.-(Special.)-- Mr. Underwood has received from Sec retary Cortelyou the following letter:
 My Dear MT. Underwood:-I have your letter of the 10th inst, inclosing a copy of the resolutions passed by the Bir- mingham Clearing House association. and also a copy of those passed by the Com mercial club of that city, commenting the action I took with reference to af- fordng relief during the recent money stringency and inviting me to visit Bir- mingham as the guest of this body. The action taken by the bodies mentioned is greatly appreciated and it is a matter of keen regret that I am unable to ac- cept the courteous invitation that has been extended.
 'It would give me much pleasure to extend my trip to Birmingham in case I should visit Atlanta, but the pressure upon my time is so great and will con- tinue to be for some time, that l have been obliged to decline the invitation to visit the latter city.
 Please assure the members of the Clearing House association and of the Commercial club of my full appreca- tion of their courtesy and of my regret that I shall not have the pleasure Of visiting their city in the immediate fu- ture, I shall hope, however, to have an opportunity to do so at later date. Very sincerely yours,

Of monetary supplies and low rates; the question which confronts lenders is how to employ remuneratively the vast &C., cumulations of loanable funds. The cash gain during the week was $26 1S5, 800, pr more than one-thrd greater than that in the previous week; the increase was three times larger than that indicated by the most liberal estimates which would seem to show that almost every source of sup ply was brought under contribution to augment the cash holdings of the banks at this center. Deposits were increased by the almost unprecedented sum of $3S, ,537- 500, the result of the gain in cash and of expansion in loans. The required reserve against general deposits increased $9, ,634- left s16551, 425 as the augmentation in re- serve to $22 635, 475, surplus computed upon the basis of deposits. less those of $72- 027100 public funds, which were reduced sl.145,000, through recalls by the treasury during the week, the surplus is $40, GAP. 420. Loans were expanded $9,52S, 100, the first important increase in this item shown by the statements since the crisis. It would seem that with this plethorc condition of the banks and the prospect that there will be further augmentation in the re- serves in the immediate future, there should be a rapid retirement of clearing house loan certificates; the maximum Is sue of such certificates during the crisis
 was $97,0000G0 at the end of December. though as officially stated the amount actually utilized was s74,00C 400. The az

 If elected, I shall stand first, last and all the time for the supremacy of law. As mayor and chairman of the police commission, I shall stand for a live clean and vigilant police department, where graft and vice will not be allowed to raise it's ugly head Greater Birming- ham must be better Birmingham. As in the past l shall bend my en- ergies to the advancement of Birming- hams position where she will be queen among southern cities, so that every citi- zen within her borders may rejoice that the creation of the greater city proves 6 blessing and benediction to us all.
