An Army of Spoois.

A boy that is no longer boy had an
army to play with whenever he pleased
1t was not lot of lead or tin soldiers
that would have broken into bits IL the
boy had looked at them too severely.
but Ii was composed of nothing less
sturdy than spools He collected the
Spools from his mother and all his fe
male relatives and all the good natured
women in the neighborhood and set
them in companies and regiments on
the floor. 1t was easy enough to d
vide the soldiers into two opposing
forces and set them lighting each 9th
er. The boy felt the need of cannon.
and so he made some. mounting giant
SpoolS on wheels and attaching a rod
and a rubber band to each one. so that
lead slugs might be shot into the ad-
vancing ranks, The soldiers used to
be swept down by tens and dozens.
and when the two forces would open
fire the slaughter used to be terrific
But they were all strong soldiers. and
the next day they were all alive again.

GEM THEATER IS
SOLD
A. j. Ritz Transfers Owner
ship of Picture Show
to L. B. MCGEE.

The Gem theatre now has a new
owner and manager. A. J. Ritz this
morning transferred his interest to
l.. B. MCGEE, who for the past five
years has been employed by the tele-
phone company. Prior to the with
drawal of the Pacific States company
from this city he was local manager
of that corporation.
Mr.. Ritz has been doing a good
business and would not dispose of his
amusement enterprise but for the
fact that he was lucky in drawing
first class quarter section in the
kalispell land drawing. He is COM
PEELED to locate thereon very soon or
forfeit his land. He will now be able
to depart for Montant the last of this
week and locate at once.
The Gem theatre was opened I'D
in the room now occupied by the Nc
Gill grocery. The owners were Ritz
& Demaris. A few months later the
junior partner sold his interest to
Ritz and the location was changed to
the rear of the Olympia Cigar Stand.

boodlers are concentrating their
plans. He had learned from data
ascertained by the geological survey
that the lands which the Indians de-
sired to dispose of through the Nc
Murray contracts contained coal beds
whose value appropriated $1,000
100000 Consequently he had an
amendment tackled onto the Indian
appropriation bill forbidding the sale
of these Indian coal lands until some
scheme can be devised whereby JUS
tice will be done.
1t has been predicted that the peo-
pie of Wisconsin will turn La Fol-
lette down this year. They may, but
as yet no very tangible evidence has
been adduced to that effect. 1t is
true that a whole horde of public
pap suckers similar to those who
controlled the steam roller conven-
ton at Tacoma would like to bring
about his downfall, but doubtless the
rank and file of the republican voters
of Wisconsin will see to it that he is
given an overwhelming endorsement
at the primaries.
The Oklahoma Indian grafters sue
ceeded in getting a $750,O00 fee last
year, but La Toilette and Gore called
their hand this year when they at
tempted to get 100000 rake off.
The watchfulness of the Wisconsin
senator won't lose him any votes
with the farmers and the laboring
men of Wisconsin, and these are the
men who control things in primary
elections. In caucuses and conven-
lions they cut a CORY figure by the
side of pap suckers who make the
control of these their regular bust
ness.

WHEN ENT|AT ATTRACTED
STATEWIDE ATTENTION
Visit to This City of Ex-Governor Mcbride Recalls
Memorable Conflict in County in Which Mcbride and
Atkinson Forces Contested for Control and in Which
Little Precinct Up the River Attracted Attention.

operator at Entiat had become so
much interested in the contest that
he had abandoned his post and was
in the ball room overhead an inter-
ested spectator.
About 5 o'clock here the tele-
phone rang and Mr.. Bowman, so in
tensely interested that he could
scarcely hold the receiver to his ear.
heard Charley Gray tell of the cap
turing of the entire Entiat delega-
ton for Atkinson. Cheer after cheer
was given Entiat and Gray. The in
lection caught the band which was
playing in front Of the old Elberta
hotel, in which Mcbride was domi-
ciled. The music stopped for mo-
ment as the members of the band
gave vent to their feelings. Nc
Bride heard the cheers and it SEEM
ed to sound the death knell of his
hopes. Entiat, in the heart of the
Mcbride territory, had blasted his
hopes and was a forecast Of what was
to happen a few months later.
Mcbride had mammoth meet
ing that night. Crowds came from
all over the county, but the senti-
ment was for the other man just the
same. Every reference to Atkinson
was given a rousing cheer. Field
opened the meeting but could not
hold the crowd.
During that week all of the pre-
cincts of the county held the eau
cuses and the Atkinson forces were
in the majority. The next week the
county convention was held and a
solid delegation was sent to Tacoma
favorable to Atkinson. The cOnven-
ton was one of the most harmoni-
Gus ever held. R. F. Holm was
chairman, and the entire machinery
worked as if it had been creased.
The further facts are well known.
King county failed to live up to its
agreement. Piles demurred to liv-
ing up to the contract. Whatcom
county seized the opportunity and
switched it's candidate for congress,
Mead, into the race for governor and
won as compromise candidate
Atkinson was given the nomination
for attorney general and the fight
was over.

Another Fire Scare.

The department was called out
yesterday shortly after noon. The
sage brush near the ruins of Wor-
then's mill caught fire from a passing
engine. Mr.. Worthen attempted to
put it out alone. Failing to get con-
troll, he yelled to bystanders over at
the depot and they turned in the
alarm. The response was quick, but
the fire was about out by the time
the wagon arrived.
The sage brush in the vicinity of
the cannery caught fire six times last
summer and this is the fourth time
this year. Each little fire has
threatened property. Unless some
thing is done to abate this danger,
something disastrous may happen.

Vacation.

Hurrah! Hurrah. Vacation comes,
When lessons are all done,
And. oh. how glad l am to say
l know mine every one!
I've ciphered hard and learned to add.
Subtract and multiply.
But now the season has come round
To put my ciphering by.
I've drawn the maps of every state
In our republic grand.
I've learned where rivers rise and run
And where the mountains stand.
The towns which are called capitals,
The cities large and small.
And great seaports along the coast
I know the names of all.
I've learned about the foreign lands
And foreign people. too.
Their customs. different from ours,
And curious things they do.
And grammar's rules that vex me 50
I've studied night and day
Till am tired of book and slate
And long for rest and play.

want to catch some fish,
I want to wander in the woods
And do just what ! wish.
Lessons are fine for winter days,
But now the summer sun
1s calling me on every side
To three good months of fun!

Conundrums.

Why is a steam engine at fire an
anomaly? Because it works and plays
at the same time.
Whose best Works are most trampled
on: The shoemaker's. because good
shoes last longer than bad ones.
When is a boy in u pantry like a
poacher? When he walks into the pre-
serves.
Why are clergymen like brakemen
Because they do a lot of coupling.
When are two persons said to be half
witted? When they have an under
standing between them.
Why is jailor like musician? Be-
cause he fingers the keys.-Philadel-

1t is only short time since certain
so-called conservationists of the
who are fighting President
Taft and his conservation policies
pointed to the forest reserves as the
cause of the large migration of Amer
leans to Canada. Now the press is
teeming with accounts of the return
of Americans from Canada in large
numbers and the Canadian papers
are protesting that this condition
does not exist. All this goes to show
what fiimsy arguments will be used
to uphold an untenable theory. AS
long as there is good land either in
Canada or in the southern portion
of the United States, men who are
land hungry will seek those places
and not rocky hillsides in forest re-
serves which would not support a
Georgia mule.

THE VOICE OF THE PRESS.

1t is instructive to read the COM
|ment of the metropolitan press of
the east on the political situation as
developed by recent events in Iowa
and Kansas. The Literary Digest,
which keeps in close touch with po-
&itical movements, says insurgency,
which seemed to play so Intellectual
part in the Ohio convention, again
looms large ON the political horizon
hs a result of last weeks primaries
n Kansas and of the republican
Ftate convention in Iowa" The
Springfield Republican says those
republicans who believed that the
res of insurgency would soon burn
themselves out must revise their
Jews, in the light of the results in
Kansas and Iowa. It is certain, for
he movement, that the insurgent
ause is reviving." The New York
World says that the movement has
lstained no serious losses, while it
as held its own in Indiana, Mime
bta and the Dakotas.'' According
the Baltimore News, the result
cannot be said to affect the admins
Fation's prestige one way or an
her, it being merely a protest
gainst Aldrichism and Cannonism,
bid as far as the republican party
the nation is concerned, it would
Eem to be better to have the insur-
Pnts win"
In regard to the effect of insur-
ency on the future of the republi-
n party the New York press says:
instead of hurting the party, the
dated contest between regulars and
surgents in Kansas has, beyond all
ubt, made the republican pros
cts brighter by bringing about a
rival of the fittest candidates
bis is an instance to show that the

Commenting on Cannonism and
