! EIENDs and opponents alike
re surpri-ed at the conclusion
s,t &r. Christians fine speech on
Monday. the only difference being
..hat the surprise of his friends
was Of more agreeable charsc-
ter than that of his opponents,
Though giving Mr.. Christian
oedit for abundant ability to 6ll
18th credit TO himself the position
TO which he aspires we were not
aware that he numbered among
.,is many accomplishments the
.eloQuence Of an orator. We de-
s.re to give due credit to the 9TH
eF two gentlemen both of whom
made excellent speeches, but in
cur judgement Mr.. Christians
ai4ress compared more than ia
-rably with them both.
The sound platform which he
defined as that upon which he
would stand in the campaign was
one which would admirably suit
the needs of the people of Math-
ews and Middlesex. His advo-
cacy of local option, better roads,
better schools and his opposition
TO the unnecessary expence en-
tailed upon the Public school
funds by the large salaries paid
division superintendants and ex-
aminers could not fail to secure
the approval Of any thinking man.
The fact that. by reason of his
well known experience in the fish
and oyster business and in educa-
tional matters. he was well eQuipss
ed TO secure for this people the
legislation most needed along
these lines did fail TO impress
many on Monday and will secure
ann the support of many mores
Taking his speech as whole
Mr. Christian verified the old
belief that every Mathews man
IS natural orator and incident
ally greatly improved his already
good chances of becoming our
next representative.

feeling OF excitement was in the
Alr, for II was generally uader-

SPORTSMEN FEED
WILD GAME BIRDS

PORT TOWNSEND, jan IL
Especial Correspondence Of
the danger threatened the game birds
of this section of the state by the cold
weather, a number of sportsmen Rave
taken upon themselves the task of
each day making trips through the
country, scattering wheat for Wild
fowl. They report that many f1ocks of
quail have been encountered, and that
the feathered beauties are so tame
from cold, hunger and exposure that
they came UP to the vehicles and
picked up the fallen wheat.
1t is reported here that sport m :
throughout this part of the country
are doing likewise, and every effort is
being made to prevent the wholesale
slaughter of quail and other birds by
the severe weather that has held sway
here for more than a week past.

Anniversary of
Terrible Ddy

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Jan. IA
Memorial services in the churches Of
Kingston today marked the second
anniversary of the great earthquake
of January IA, 1907, which destroyed
a large portion of the city. The an
niversary finds Kingston practically
rebuilt and enjoying a greater degree
of prosperity than before the disaster.
Large sums of money were raised
here for the relief of the earthquake
victims of Italy, for whom the peo-
pie of Kingston have a fellow feeling.
The insurance companies have settled
on a basis of So per cent, and this
money has been largely reinvested in
Jamaica.
The more deferential successor of
Governor General Swettenham is of
a socialistic turn of mind, and those
convictions have led him to stimulate
the giving of public and private boun-
ties to keep the population employed,
as we'll as to induce the substantial
rebuilding of the city. While the peo-
DIE have been awaiting insurance
verdicts and loan commissioners, those
interested in the development of the
island have been active. The many
shipping companies that NECESSARILY
make Kingston a port of call have
erected quarters and wharves pending
a survey determining the new lines OF
the business section: the streets were
soon cleared; the statue of Queen Vic
toria before which the negroes prayed

ments of King and Harbor streets,

added to the many in Jamaica by the
earthquake: and here and there along
the shore line, storage houses are be-
ing enlarged, new blocks are being
erected, permanent docks are being
located and the Kingston public mar

Eight Days of Zero Weather
and Eighteen Inches of Snow

which lis more than he has done for
the past week.
Spokane suffered a drop of several
degrees last night and the mercury
was at 16 below this morning. Lew
iston was colder than Walla Walla,

weather is still balmy, with the mer-
curry at 26 in Boise and 80 in Poca-
tello. In the middle western states
the temperature is moderate, being %
in Chicago and about the same other
places. Boston has IA above zero this
morning and the weather is not quite
as cold in the New England, states.
Contrasted to the usual winters of
this valley, the present weather is most
unusual When it is remembered that
but little over a year ago the Elks
wore straw hats. and went without
coats comfortably. it is hard to rea-
lize that the present weather really
belongs here. Usually if the thermo-
meter registers zero just one day 1t

class of the South Central high school
think when the boys and girls started
on their sleighride last Friday even
ing that the following Monday %
members OF the class would be sus-
pended from taking part in any school

Sixty-five members of the class were

trary to the ruling of the school board
that class organizations must not give
dances
The result was that on the following
Monday % members of the class were
called into Principal Hart's office and
suspended from taking part in any
school activities for the remainder Of
the term.
The juniors are penitent and say
that they did not intend to violate the
boards ruling, and that the dancing
was merely an incidental pleasure of
the evening.

GOVERNOR MEAD
GRANTS PARDONS

OLYMPIA, Jan. 14.-(Special Cor
respOndence)-In addition to approx
ing the recent recommendations of the
prison board, Governor Mead granted
pardons to Guy c.. Stratton of Bal
lard, and O. G.. Mathis of Blaine.
Stratton was convicted last spring OF
involuntary murder sentenced to a
term of from one to twenty years and
to pay a fine of $1,000.
While driving an automobile on a
street in Ballard last January, STRAIT
ton ram over and killed a young girl,
named Henrietta Johnson. The recon-
mendatiOns for clemency come from
the parents of the child, the trial
judge, the prosecuting attorney and a
petition signed by $40 residents of
Ballard and Seattle.
O. c. Mathis was convicted of forg-
cry while cashier of the Exchange
Bank of Blaine and sentenced last
spring to a term of from one to IA
years. He is the father of a large
family, which was left practically des-
titute and in deplOrable circumstances.
The governor has issued a condition
al pardon to Mathis with the pro-
vision that when he can show the
governor that all the debts owing the
exchange bank for which he is liable
are fully paid and satisfied, an abso-
lutte pardon will be granted him.

Dropping to six degrees below zero
last night, the thermometer for the
eighth consecutive day has registered
the nothing mark. Breaking all wea-
ther bureau records for duration of
cold and depth of snow, the mercury
persists in staying below zero, and
snow is still falling Last night at 6
O'Clock the mercury had risen to six
above and some hope was expressed,
but during the night it dropped again,
dipping even lower than it had the
night before Snow fell at periods
during the day and the official snow
fall is Is inches, while measured in
many places lin the city, Is inches
is found to be the depth.
Frozen pipes. bursted valves and all
the plumbing adjuncts of cold weather
are getting to be old stories. The
weather has lost its novelty and
sleighing parties are not as numerous
as during the first few days of the
snow. Many business men are put
ting their vehicles on runners; and as
far as can 0e seen, no relief is in
sight.
However, Portland had a rise in
temperature last night and reports IA
degrees above zero this morning. Seat
tie has done even better and has 26
degrees. Thi. would indicate that the
weather may warm up in few days,
but the weather man promises no such
relief. But he says it is possible,

Covered With Snow and Ice
Big Engines are Helpless

numerous portions Of the engine re-
placed. No. 1861, being damaged con-
siderably at the front, will not re-
uuire as much repairing, though the
pilot and many of the intricate at
tachments are in need of attention.
Both engines were kept 'alive" dur
ing the night to prevent the freezing
of pipes and water vessels, and this
morning construction gangs took UP
the work of laying new rails, on which
the wrecking crane might place the
wrecks, so they could be towed to the
repair shops.
Flyers Stopped.
Although efforts were made to clear
away the wreck before the arrival
of Nos Z and this afternoon, it was
found impossible and passengers, bag
gage and mail were transferred from
Z to 8. and from s to Z, and the trains
backed up over the roads, as access
to the turntable was cut off by the
o r & N locomotives which had not
been removed up to press time this
afternoon. 1t is estimated that the
work will not be completed before Z
or s o'clock this evening. The big
Northern Pacific engine had been
placed on the track at o'clock. and
as the other is considerably smaller,
the work will not be as difficult.
