CEASE THEIR BUSINESS
ON GTAYG HARBOR

r. r. Ford. Seattle agent of w. r.
Grace & Co.. extensive shipping
agents of San Francisco, was in the
city this week. and declared that his
firm would cease doing business on
Crays Harbor. and that it would send
no more vessels here.
Mr.. Ford said the present attitude
of the Sailors union, as expressed by
its agent, William Coil, is such as to
make prompt dispatch of their ves-
sells impossible. Capt. Ross. of the
schooner Wilbur Smith. was obliged
to go to Seattle to secure a crew for
Callao, and the vessel was delayed
some time. Mr. Ford says this pro-
cess of delay is worked with every
vesenl of his firm coming to Grays
Harbor. and they will be obliged to
cut out this business.

The centenary of the birth of Edgar
Allan Poe on Jan. 10 gives special in
terest to the bronze bust of Poe by Ed
mond 7. Quinn shown in the sculptural
division Of the academy exhibition. 1t
has been spoken of as one of the most
effective sculptural likenesses of the
poet yet produced and interprets his
artistic temperament as only true
artist appreciating the achievements
of Il member Of another creative pro-
fession could do. An interesting con-
trast might be instituted between 1t
and the Poe bust by Zolnay in the pos
session of the University of Virginia.
Mr.. Quinn's Poe is one which exerts a
fascination much like that which the
poet himself must have exercised over
those who were able to appreciate his
genius The bust was purchased by
the Bronx Society Of Arts and Sciences
for the monument dedicated by 1t In

centenary.

THIRD TERM?-"HoGGlSH!"

Referring to the republican nomi'
nees, who we're defeated by the
third term" talk four years ago,
the Falls City News. in their issue
OF NOV. 3. 1905. had this to say:
'.While these candidates are per
sonally ve.y p,eaoant gentlemen, car
you afford to sustain them In the false
and hoesish position they have as
sumed? What assurance have you
that a fifth, a s.Nea, a seventh and
eighth term will not be the aim OF
those now in control? Do your duty
as a citizen and In so doing you will
prove to be the best PARTISAN"
The question now arises, what as.
surance have YOU" Mr.. Voter, that
Hutchings, Gagnon, Fenton, Oliver
and the others will not aim for "a
fifth, a sixth, a seventh and eighth
ierm?" In the News of Nov. 10.
1905, you were promised that they
would NEVER seek a third term
and that these same candidates ther
believed that the third term was

PROUD OF ASSOCIATION.

Week after week the concern up
by the jail lays great stress Upon the
fact that c. F. Reavis is a stock
holder in The Tribune, and never in
its worthless career did it come near
er telling the truth.
We are proud TO number that able
young man among the stockholders
of this publishing corporation. and
of citizenship to this city and county.
Not yet out of his thirties he is
easily at the head of the legal profess
sion In southern Nebraska and Is
everywhere acknowledged the peer
of the very best in the whole north
west country. In the short space
between youth and young manhood
he has climbed higher in the scale
of professional excellence. than most
men do in a whole life time, while
mis- course is still upward in spite
of jealousy and the b%ackbiting Islander
monger contingent of paid liars, of
which the aforesaid subsidized press
appears to be the prince. You are
right in that one particular, Mr.. Tax
eater, if wrong, as you generally are,
in all things pertaining to the well
fare of the public, and the up
building of the city in which you
live.
Mr.. Reayis is asking for nothing
but The rights of a private citizen,
and this unealled for personal abuse
from a source that is rotten to the
core, both in public and private life,
appears f~ar-fetched and of no inter.
est to the public.
During the few years of our con.
nection with The Tribune we wish to
say for Mr.. Reayis, that he has never
attempted in any way to influence thu
policy of the paper, leaving that
ment. He has at our earnest appeal
aided materially in making the pa
per what it is today-a newspaper
that belongs to no machine or clique
and at all times ready to support any
effort toward the betterment of tn,
conditions In the community of which
il is a part,
Why not compare the home and
public life of the mar who delights
to pen this rot against his ~neighbol
from week to week, with that of Mr.
Reavis, and let the public judge which
is the most valuable citizen?
