Traitor, Says Gen.
Ashton

General Ashton, Pierce coun-
tvs candidate for congress, who
was defeated in Olympia yester-
day, issued the following state
ment today:
1.-THE combination against
Pierce in the southwest dates from
the special session of the legisla7
ture. The Shively fight permeat-
ed the entire contest. -.
There was also a general sem
timent against Pierce which was
purely one of the small boys
against the big. Any combination
would have, been readily overcome
had Ed. Sans, the leader of the
Jefferson county delegation stood
with Clallam, Thurston and Ma
son in their loyalty to Pierce as a
Puget Sound county. =
1.-THE situation was exactly this.
1.-THE Puget Sound counties
without Jefferson had 80 votes,
with Jefferson 109. Pacific coun-
ty was not in the convention I'M
til their contest was settled, this
left full convention strength of
213 votes, 107 being the control.
With jefferson we would have had
100.
Various appeals were made
to them, but Sims was immovable.
He seemed lined up with Finch,
George Stevenson and their push

Following young Rothschild's
tour around the world during
which he met and fell In love with
Miss Mem, the couple became en-
gagged. Miss Mem left Chicago
for Europe where they were to be

however, forbade the match and

engagement, Miss Mem has been

left and started up. All day they
climbed desperately, for they
must reach the top before dark.
Late that night. with purple lips
swollen to thrice their size, and
with eyes starting from their
sockets, they reached the top-14
miles only from where they had
started 81 days before!
Then Terrence and Fellows
planned year on another expedi-
ton. Twelve months later they
started. Rubber mattresses were
used instead of canvas boats. The
men planned to swim by using
these. In two weeks they COW

One day as they rounded a cor

fell sheer out of sight only 100
feet ahead. The water Swallowed

the bottom, and they ventured
forth to find whether there was a

whether the stream was sucked

get near enough to see.
There was no way out except
to plunge down stream and see.

him gently on the bed. Then she
killed him. The police found her,

weeks later. For more than two
weeks she lowered close to death,

court.
Dramatic, tense, tragic and dn-
|speakably pathetic, was that scene
in court. The facts of the shoot
ing and attempted suicide were
established by the prosecution.
Laura Macdonald, leaning on q
kindly, wet-eyed matron of the
city prison, took the witness
stand. Dry-eyed, she faced the
prosecutor bravely. Only her lips
trembled a little. Bravely she
told her name and something of
her past life. Then came the
question about the. day Of the
tragedy. 81 have tried, she said

Everybody's Magazine for Oc-
ober devotes one of Its leading
articles to w. w. Terrence and A.
l.. Fellows, the two heroes of the
Gunnison tunnel, the government g
big irrigation project. When a
Frenchman named Lauzon inter-
ested the government in the pos
sibilities of the Gunnison river,
Terrence and Fellows were sent
out to see what could be done.
They were compelled to explore
the terrible black canyon of the
Gunnison river, entering IA
miles above the canyon proper,
where the sheer walls of rock,
1900 feet high, presented the only
spot where man could climb down
to the torrent below.
From here it was necessary for
them to follow a veritable under
ground current hurting itself into
a vast unknown in the bowels OF
the earth.
The only thing certain to the
two engineers was that il they
once entered this torrent they
would have to follow it to the end
They did. For daring their ex-
plot puts Cook and Peary and the
north pole in the shade.
First Terrence and four volun-
teer assistants let themselves down
with ropes, took canvas boats with
stout oak frames, surveying in
struments, cameras and note
books in water-tight cans.
Revolver Shots to Show They Live
Men were to follow along the
top of the cnyon, listening for the
revolver-shot signals of those be-
low that they were still alive. The
river, ice cold from melting
mountain SHOWS, had to be swum
sometimes 20 times day. The
river was one continual rapids.
The day in the canyon was only
eight hours long; the high rock
walls made 1t dark at p. m. The
men shivered at night in icy
spray.
After five days of struggle the
main provision boat was swept
away with nearly all the food. The
men grew weak and searched in
vain for some fissure in the rock
from which to escape.
Tho man n nrn oattino f,,,
Their signals, lowered wire nets
across the canyons mouth far be-
low to catch the bodies of their
companions whom they believed
lost.
Five days later the men on
watch above caught sight of the
men trapped below, but in the
roar of water could not make them
hear the sound of firearms. One
man tossed a pebble over the can
yon. 1t struck large stone and
dislodged it. That dislodged 9TH
er stones, and when the mass
struck the Gunnison torrent it
weighed ton, and sent up a
splash hundred feet high.
Kept Hunting for a Way Out.
The men below waved their
bandanas and kept on hunting for
a way out. For three weeks, with
short rations and the river becom-
ing more and more only a boiling
current, with no banks, racing be-
tween stone walls $500 feet high
and % feet apart, the party of five
kept doggedly on.
At last they found dry water
course forming a crevice in the
rock wall. The course up was
narrow and steep. with jagged
rocks. 1t was hope; that was
