THE GOVERNOR is RIGHT.

There Is not the slightest doubt that
many RepnblIcans in the State are in.
different to the matter. of fulflllment of
party pledges now that the victory mas
been won and practically all depart.
ments of the State government are in
the hands of the winning ticket. But
Is that the proper spirit? Is that the
way to remain In power? We do not
think SO and any reasonable. far sec
ing person ought. to know that 1t is
not. On his recent trip TO Morgantown
Governor Glasscock was asked what
he thought of the throw down" some
of the party leaders had given the
party pledges. and In answer he said :.
II do not see how we. as n party,
can face the voters In another election
without having written on the statute
books primary election law. meas.

the party. believe. too. that there
have been changes In alignment oil
the part OF some OF the forces opposed
to certain of these party measures. and
that We may get favorable action on
them the next time they come up for

Tint sounds good to lis. and we be-

THE MAN FROM FIVE MILE TOWN
Romantic Tales of Missing Heirs
By William M. Clemens

TNHE Public Administrator brought my
i attention TO the matter. remarked the
lawyer. He has something like seven thou
sand dollars IN his possession, money in bank
TO the credit of the late John McCrary. The
man died last October, leaving no known rel
ative. 1t was a COroner's case; but there is
absolutely no information at the COroner's
Office. The records merely show that John
McCrary fell out of a window on East 32d-st.
and was instantly killed"
What about the records at the Board of
Health:" asked Jimmy Fox.
80 There IS the certificate of death. of course"
replied the lawyer. "McCrary was siXtv-four
years old; born in Ireland; came TO America
in 1868; occupation watchman, fathers and
mothers names unknown; place of burial,
Calvary Cemetery"
And there Is seven thousand dollars in the
savings bank" queried Fox.
" Yes, payable to any relative of MCCrarv's

easily obtain two thOusand-dollar fee in this
case, If We are successful" added Sargent
" Now see what you can do
THE following day began the investigation
into the rather uneventful life and negative
character of John McCrary. For twenty wears

growing contest and the other as an
emergency lecture room IL the crowd
should be small or the weather bad
and a sleeping car for the party. This
train made a total of twenty stops and
was attended by 9,21O people, giving an
average attendance of 460 per stop.
The lectures were delivered by Profes-
sors Severance, Lawrence, Mcdonald,
Olson, and myself. A representative
of the Union Meat Company OF Port
land and a representative of the Farm
ers' Educational and Cooperative
Union accompanied the train and
spoke briefly at each stop; the former
with reference to the possibilities of
the live stock in the Pacific Northwest
and the latter emphasizing the bene-
fits of farmers organizations. This
train was operated from March % to
27, inclusive.
The third train was a fruit special,
operated over the Inland Empire Elec-
trio Railway System in eastern Wash
ington and northern Idaho. The same
flat car that was used in the Yakima
Valley fruit train was employed here
and a baggage car equipped with dem
onstration material for grating, spray
ing and pruning was provided, togeth-
er with a parlor car for the party.
The lecture and demonstration work
was very similar to that on the Yaki-
ma Valley train. A total of twenty
towns were visited with total attend
ance of 2,080, giving an average at
tendance of 104 per stop. This train
was operated from March 81 to April
3, inclusive.
With reference to future trains
will say that l have submitted pro-
posed schedules for the fruit and dairy
train over the lines of the Northern
Pacific Railway west of the Cascade
Mountains to run from Vancouver,
Washington, to Seattle, during the
week of June 21 to 27 inclusive, and
similar train over the lines of the
Great Northern from Seattle to Blaine
to be operated from June 29 to July 2,
inclusive. | have received official ap-
prOval of the proposed train from the
Northern Pacific officials and will be
able to announce detailed schedule for
it within few days. | have not yet
had definite reply from the Great
Northern Railway officials but hope
to hear from them soon. AS soon as
the schedules for the coming western
Washington trains are completed |

attendance at these trains as possible.
