The Farmer Candidate

Mr.. Cosgrove is frequently referred
to as the lawyer-farmer candidate for
governor. By some it may be made
by way of reproach, but Mr.. Cosgrove
himself does not so consider it. He
rather takes pride in the fact that he
has made as much of success OF his
farming as he has of his practise of the
profession of law. His contact with
the soil and practical knowledge of the
occupation of that large class of voters
and taxpayers who make their living
out of the products of the land will fit
him most admirably for the discharge
OF those duties which devolve upon
the chief executive of the state.
Every day his prospects grow
brighter. A very large number of the
country weekly papers Of the state
are supporting his candidacy and this
number is being added to every week.
Until within the past few days none of
the daily papers of the state advocated
his election. Now, however, the
Seattle Star is giving his cause hearty
support. Should Mr.. Cosgrove be
elected, which we regard as almost
sure, the country press may reasonably
claim the credit for the victory.

There's Millions In II

Is there room for another newspaper
in Leavenworth?
Why, Of course there is. Room for
two, or even more. Why there is only
one can perhaps be accounted for be-
cause they confound us with Leaven-
worth, Kansas, and the U. S. peniten-
tiary. A penitentiary town is noto-
riously unhealthy for country newspa-
per man.
But can they make money?
Well, now, that's poser. Evil
IDENTITY you have never been in the
country newspaper business or you
would not ask such question. Did
you ever see poor country news
paper man2 We never did. They're
all rich. Rich in Great Expectations, I"
and future prospects. Gin the heav-
emily land. We've often borrowed
money on this collateral. Its suf-
fciency is never questioned. Our
note is good. Everybody wants it.
And as for money, why its lying around
loose in every old corner. We're af-
flicted with a plethora of money" as
that redoubtable champion of demo-
cratic principles, Bourke Cochran,
used to say.
Room for another newspaper! Come
and look. The room that's here is
the only thing that will compare with
the size of our bank deposit
There's the room" left by the
Leavenworth Journal, once owned and
conducted by that brilliant newspaper
man, Major Lindsey, who afterwards
went to Southern California to spend
the accumulated earnings of the Journal,
but was called up higher before he
could even get rid of the interest on
his Leavenworth newspaper profits.
And then there is the room left by
Mr.. Frank Reeves, who in less than
two years made so much money in the
publication OF the Leavenworth Times
that he had to go to Wenatchee to in
vest ii in brick blocks and red apple
fruit land at $4,000 per acre; and still
having some left is now throwing it at

iatuus, the Superior Court judgeship.

Of a get rich quick career, he left

TacomR.-Terrified by the repeat
ed receipts of black hand letters and
the posting on the door of his resi-
dence of a red placard announcing
that he is to be the immediate vic
tim of a bomb which his enemies
have prepared for him. John Nichol,
president and manager of the North
End Water Supply Company, has left
Tacoma for the mountains, while
Pinkerton detectives endeavor to To-
cate the men who threaten him.
Last week Nichol received the first
letter threatening his life. 1t Ia writ
ten In most blood-curdling terms and
signed by THE Seven Sons of Black
Hand"
Drawings of coffin, a dagger and
bomb were at the bottom of the
letter. Nlchol treated the first let
ter as a joke, but second warning
came and later he found placard
nailed to his front door. The placard
was written In red and told him he
had been warned for the last time
and that his murder would be &C.
complished at once.

FOR
JAPANESE
SUIT TO ESTABLISH RIGHT TO
IMMIGRATE FROM HERE TO CA
LIFORNIA.

Attorney A. V. Gear was among
those who returned to Honolulu in the
s. S. Korea this morning. He has
been to San Francisco to effect ar
engagements whereby a test case, to
go to the United States Supreme
Court, will be made in the matter of
the exclusion Japanese labor at San
Francisco.
Gear stated some time ago that he
intended early this year to institute
test proceedings on the mainland,
with a view to showing that it was
contrary to the United States Con-
stitution to refuse admittance to Jap
arese laborers. He has been interest
eh in various migrations OF Japanese
labor from these islands to the main
land, up to the recent exclusion leg
islation, after which he was interest
ed in migration to Canadian ports.
Gear will probably send a Japanese
laborer from Honolulu to San Fran
cisco who, upon being refused admis-
sion by the immigration authorities
there, will, through his attorneys, take
the matter into to the courts to test
the exclusion act.

ARE FIGHTING
TERMINAL RATES
FOR THIS STATE

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.-The
announcement that the merchants OF
Reno had applied to the interstate
commerce commission for terminal
rates has brought out the declaration
from the officers of the traffic bureau
of the Merchants exchange that the
traffic bureau will oppose the appli-
cation.
T. C. Friedlander. secretary OF the
bureau, said yesterday that should
Reno succeed in getting terminal
rates the commerce between this city
and Nevada would be killed.
At the present time merchants IN
Nevada towns buying goods in the
east are compelled to pay not only
the freight to their town. but to Sac
ramento, the western terminal point
and then back again into Nevada
when the freight never really goes to
Sacramento and back.
The local traffic bureau and the
merchants of Reno are preparing fof
hard fight. San Francisco wants
protection for its merchants, and
has determined to make desperate
night.

Frank Ciscillini, an Italian miner,

the propiretress of the house that
