nature-Cood Work of
Congressman Jones.

North Yakima is soon to have A
handsome new federal building, to
house its postoffiee and other gov
eminent Offices, the appropriation of
100000 having passed both the
house and the senate at Washington.
Such is the word that has been re-
ceived by wire in North Yakima. In
a few days, after the bill has gone to
conference and been given it's final
joint passage through congress, the
measure will be ready for President
Roosevelts signature.
The appropriation for the North
Yakima building is a part of the sun
dry civil appropriation bill, which
also contains a large amount for the
government exhibits at the Alaska

tain Of final passage without any
amendment in the conference, as far
as either of the Washington appro-
priations are concerned.
Congressman Jones has been hard
at work to secure the necessary steps
for the North Yakima building, hav-

the site at the northeast corner Of
South Third and Chestnut streets,

citation have taken up the subject
and say that the spot appeals most to
them for the first gathering of the
pioneers.
II was at Union Gap. practically,
that barbarism gave way TO civiliza-
tionl, for it was there that he decid

the federal troops. and early settlers,

natural entrance to the valley from
the east, the white men gained their
victories and secure control of the
most fertile valley in the west, driv-
ing back the Indians into the re-
serve where they have since re-
NAMED.
The gap also holds other historic
interest. for it is there that the two
transcontinental railroads. the North
recently had a battle which means as
much to the future of the valley rs
the original battles meant to the first
settlers.
There is an excellent picnic ground
at the gap, on the east side of the
river, and just below the county
bridge. What arrangements can be
made for transportation is a ques-
ton, but it is not improbable that
if the pioneers decide to use the gap
for picnic grounds, the Northern Pa

there will be no shade at the grounds,
and the members who know the sit

the gathering elsewhere.

SPOKANE, May 1S.-After as
stormy session as ever has been
held il a convention hall in this state,
the Democratic state convention to-
night just before midnight adopted a
plank declaring for submission to
vote constitutional amendment for
bidding the sale of spurious liquors.
Whether by oversight or design moth
ing was said about vinous and malt
drinks. The plank was adopted by a
two to one vote, following night CT
fierce and fiery oratory for and
against. A double delegation of 20,
each with half vote, was elected 70
the national convention at Denver
and instructed for Bryan, First last
and al the time
The convention endorsed for ma
tionaI committeeman w. II. Dumphy,
of Waila Walla. 1t nominated for
chairman of the state central commit
tee George p. Knight, King county:
elected as delegates at large with half
a vote each, A. r. Tittlo Pierce, L. e.
Bignoid, Chehalis county; Fred F..
Baldwin, Spokane; Dan Paul, Doug
las; George +. christensen, Adams;
A. G.. Mitchum. Lincoln, and Charles

King. No afternates were selected.
President electors: J. NJ. McKernan.
Garfield; f. A. Fitshenry, Callahan;
Wilson Tucker, King; Thomas NJ.
Vance. Thurston. and George f.
Richardson, Benton.
Up TO almost to the last moment
the convention was split into half a
dozen faction over the liquor contro-
versy. Seattle's delegates at one pc
riod became so angered they were
almost ready for open revolt On q
par with the liquor problem was the
strife engendered by joining hands f
the second and third congressional
districts (Spokane and Tacoma)
against the first district (Seattle)
j. T. Ronald of Seattle attempted
to fight this combination by declaring
that the first district be given four of
the eight delegates at large. On top
of this the convention by an over
whelming vote decided to send 90
delegates each with half a vote. Sc
attic met this rebuff by withdrawing
Ronald's name for national commit
teeman. leaving clear the field for
Dumphy. Later compromise was
effected which resulted in King
county being given the place of both
delegates at large and among nomi-
nees for presidential electors.

FREE TRADE.

Senator Ernest &. Ackerman, Of I'm
ion, who is head Of a large cement
manufacturing company, has just re-
turned from Europe. He says that in
almost every country he visited abroad
large numbers of men were out of en-
ployment and that all were looking
forward hopefully to Bryan's election.
In that event, as they understand our
situation in Europe, the protective
tariff would be abolished and European
factories would be opened, while Amer
ican shops would close or reduce their
forces.
There can be no question that the
leading issue In industrial states like
New Jerseyis the tariff. To readjust
the tariff along the lines of free trade,
as the Democratic platform demands,
would prove national disaster
Alongside of this issue the anti-injunc-
tion bait which Bryan holds out to de-
coy the labor vote is trifiing. What
workingmef are interested in is steady
and living wages and
these, as all know, cannot be secured
under a free trade flag.

CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER. of th g
United States Supreme court, is seven
ty-five years of age so is Justice Har-
Ian. Justice Brewer is seventy-one,
and Justice Peckham is seventy. JUS
tice Holmes is sixty-seven, and Justice
McKenua is Sixty-tiye. In the ordin-
ary course of events it seems probable
that there will be several vacancies
during the term of the president who
will be inaugurated on March 4, 1909.
The new members of the court will be
of mature age, but will probably hold
their office for twenty years or more.
The selection of these judges should be
