STATE CONvEN-
1ION NOTES

The local option plank proved to
be a veritable bombshell in the con-
vention, and for two hours an effort
was made to drown the issue by some
and a strong resolve to push it
through by others caused time that
will live in ne memory of those who
were present.
|. A. Navarro was on the ground
during the whole convention, and the
chances of his election for state
land commissioner might be said to
be more than favorable.
A. L. Rogers was slated for the
honorable o1ice OF presidential cleo
tor and was nominated in conven-
ton, but withdrew in favor OF Frank

w. Z. Haleeman OF Ferry county,
candidate for state senator from Oka-
hogan, Ferry and Douglas was pres

lature and was one Of the warm sup

NARROW ESCAPE
FOR THE KIDS
Lively Runaway on North Wenat-
chez Ave. Thursday Afternoon.
Children i'm Vehicle.

North Wenatchee avenue was the
scene of an exciting runaway yester-
day afternoon at about $50 o'clock.
A team of horses hitched to a heavy
lumber dray belonging to the Col
umbia River Lumber Company took
fright and dashed madly down the
board walk, and headed for the
busy end of the street. At this time
of day Wenatchee avenue 10 usually
filled with people completing heir
shopping or getting ready to return
home, and had the frightened horses
continued in this direction the re-
suits would have been disastrous.
Luckily, when the team reached
First street, one of the horses turned
toward the river and, stumbling,
fell, thus blocking the dray and
halting the other horse. Before
they could go further bystanders
had seized them.
A little boy and girl, who had been
playing on the wagon when the
during the whole runaway. The
sight of the children sent a shudder
through the onlookers, and for a
time things looked very serious for
the little ones. By the greatest of
good fortune, however, the kids es-
capped unhurt, not even getting a
swatch. The little boy seemed to
enjoy the situation immensely and
apparently did not realize his dan
ger.
The kids were soon pounced upon
by their mother and from what fol-
lowed it is safe to say that it Will be
a long time before they play around
teams again.
No apparent injury came to the
horses, and they were soon quieted
and driven to the barn.

IT'S SAID.


BY Billy Oatstraw.
God bless the girl and her hat so
large,
OF Merry Widow type;
It's about the size of river barge,
Trimmed with fruit both green and
ripe.
Both bird and beast, reptile and fowl,
Are found upon this hat.
If the wild wind blows the girl will
scOwl
And wonder where she's at.
It's green, and pink, and yellow, and
red,
With colors many more;
It's costly, too, when all is said,
To pay would make one sore.
So bless the girl and hat of size,
And please do not say scat"
Its bad enough to hold on she
cries.
It's Merry Widow hat.
That absence makes the heart grow
fonder-of the other fellow.
That the best of friends must part
their hair.
That several had a sever headache
the morning after Where had you
been and what did y0)I drink the
night before?" was the leading ques-
ton.
That the amateurs" are rehears-
ing for their minstrel show which is
to be given in the near future. This
home talent" should not be passed
up by any, for it will be worth the
money.
That people who live in glass
houses should spoon in the dark.
That what a man sows he reaps,
unless he is tailor.
That too many hands spoil the
Jack pot.
That a merry widow is not grass
widow; it is generally straw
trimmed up.

NJ. E. Field proved to be a power
in the convention, and to tell the
truth, the local delegation was some
what proud of their leading member.
The passing of the local option
plank was slap at Mcbride, who We
toed this measure while governor.
This was one reason an effort was
made to defeat the plank by the An
keny-McBride forces of Seattle On
the other hand the Jones-Mead forces
of Whatcom county were strongly in
favor of the measure.
