LOCAL POLITICAL GOSSIP
Several Prominent Men are Mentioned for
County Offices LeaVenwOrth
Not Represented

Politics, with respect to Chelan
county Offices, are beginning to as
sumo definite form, according to The
Republic of last week. Candidates are
now mentioned for all the positions,
except that Of treasurer, and within the
next few weeks the aspirants will no
doubt increase in number. Those
named have not yet asserted them
selves, but are in a sort of receptive
attitude, waiting for the gong to sound,
as it were.
Ira Edwards, a one-time resident Of
Leavenworth, but now OF Wenatchee,
is being boosted by some of the bust
ness men OF that place for the job Of
county commissioner for the first dis
trict, while others suggest A. J. Lin
vile as most fitting candidate to sue
coed the present incumbent, Alexan-
der Pitcher. Thos. L. Cowan, of En-
tiat, is reported to have announced
himself a candidate for commissioner
of the second district. Rumor is silent
as to any candidate to GUST J. E. Kin
ney, the democratic holder of the COM
missionership in the third district.
1t is understood that Fred Kemp,
the present county attorney, solicits re-
election. 1t is also written that he will
have opposition. John E. Porter, Sam
Sumner and Nels Sorenson, all of We
natchee, promise to entertain Mr.
Kemp during the race. The opposi-
ton feels, however, that the only hope
to win is to concentrate on one candi-
date.
For auditor, F. A. Reynolds, of Ma
son Creek, is being talked of. John
Godfrey, now serving his second term
as auditor, is barred by law from re-
election.
In the clerks Office ]. Leigh Camp
bell is in the same predicament and it
is thought he will turn his attention to
the race for school superintendent.
Glof Green, of Peshastin, is mentioned
as his possible successor.
H. N. May, of Wenatchee, is sug-
gested for coroner.
So far no one has been named to
beat Sheriff Ferguson out of his badge,
but there's no telling when someone
will challenge him.
The same situation exists in regard
to Assessor Osborn and Engineer Berry,
both of whom are willing to remain
where they are for another term.
Other than C. A. Battles, the treas
urer, no democrat has been mentioned
as a likely candidate for any Office.
He is practically certain of the demo-
cratic nomination; also republican OPP
position.
It's early yet, but with fy-time here
and spring farming finished, the aspi-
rants for office will soon get thick and
huSv

Because the United States govern
ment was loo stingy to purchase them,
the biggest buffalo herd in the world,
numbering over seven hundred, has
been sold to the Canadian government
to become the most attractive feature
of the Banff national park. They had
ranged the Flathead Indian reservation
in Montana, from where the last ship
ment was made this week. With the
exception of Buffalo Jones' herd and
that in Yellowstone park, there are very
few of these animals left. The price
paid by Canada is said to have beer
about $500 per head.

Girl Was Returned BY Germany to
America without Any Ex-
PLANTATION.

Miss Emma J. Hays, a school teacher
of Philadelphia, was brought back to
this country Saturday from Germany
by order of the imperial government,
at whose instance she was detained
seven weeks in an insane asylum at
Frankfort. She appeared to be in full
possession of her faculties and the inn
migration authorities passed her in
after she had proved her American cit
izenship.
Considerable mystery surrounds the
case. Miss Hays volunteered no in
formation why she had been confined
and the Hamburg line, which
brought her back, had no facts beyond
orders to return her. 1t attempted to
hold her trunk as surety for her
passage, but the federal authorities or
dered it turned over to her and it was
surrendered. "Heavens knows why, -

not affected by the order.
