Anacortes, Wash, Dec. Two
mems votes are not so feared by poll
ticians in Anacortes today, following
yesterdays city election, in which
the city went wet by 2 to / vote
The drys had waged an interesting
campaign, and relied much upon the
feminine vote to swing the city into
the thirsty column.
Approximately $50 ballots were
cast OF this number 316 were
poIled by women. who were recently
enfranchised by a proclamation Of
the governor. The election carried
by majority OF over 200.
Watchers at the polls reported that
a large number OF women voted wet
II was expected that they would be
almost unanimous for prohibition
so the result was surprising to weti
and drys alike.

The Story Of the New York
"Watson's Magazine"
5be Jefferson,on

Dear Friend: Please inform me
if you can possibly furnish me with
a complete file of "The Jeffersonian"
(Magazine) for 1908 and 1909?
Have been informed that one number
in 1908 file was not to be had. Will
you not kindly advertise for same
for me? With that one exception,
have copy of about everything you
have ever published. Please do this
for me. Is your "Watson's Maya
zine" separate publication apart
from The JeffersOnian? When was
1t first published, and may please
obtain a complete file? Please OBJ
tain these things for me if you can,
as I am very anxious to complete my
file. Again, ask you: please do
this for me if you possibly can. An
early reply will be thankfully appre-
ciated. Sincerely wishing both you
and yours, thousand times, from
the bottom of my heart, all the good
that you can possibly wish of good
for yourself and those most dear to
YOU, throughout the coming New
Year, I am most sincerely
Your admirer and friend,
OTTO LIPPERT.
Chicago I'LL, PA E. Huron st.
Ed. Comment.
Can any of our readers supply Mr.
Lippert's demand? Our office can
not. We have on hand few bound
volumes of the 1907 Magazine; and
it is large repository Of an i'm
mense variety of good stuff, but we
are out of the sets for 1908 and
1909.
The watson Magazine to which
Mr.. Lippert refers died dishonora-
BILE death, in three months after it
was stolen from me by Colonel W. D.
Mann and Mr.. G. @. De Fraunce.
Through Gordon Nye, I told Colo
mel Mann, that if he'd turn the man
agement of the shebang over to me,
I would continue to edit the thing,
without salary, until the Magazine it
self was able to pay me.
That queer old codger and Gas it
transpired) blackmailer, said-"No:
Mr.. Watson is no business man.
So, Nye came down to Georgia to
live with me; and we opened up on
Mann and De Fraunce in a way that
laid them out in three months.
Nye had his doubts of our ability
to do it, and he said, Colonel Mann
is a great fighter
1 laughed and answered, "Well,
that makes q couple of u.s."
To run Watson Magazine with
out Watson, was such an obviously
impossible enterprise that there new
er was the slightest doubt on my
mind as to the outcome of the Skin
mish.
Those two rascals kept on pocket
ing subscription money, to the very
last. 1t was criminal, of course.
When they saw that the jig was up,
they sold the Magazine for $4,000,
and divided the spoil. De Fraunce
went to Kalamazoo to work for the
graphophone people-carrying along
the mailing list of the defunct Maya
zine. T have been told that he made

son's''-1ost it by utterly unbusi-
ness-like extravaganza, and the in
competence of his men. Although
greatly injured by the failure of a
magazine bearing my name, [ have
been able to make a complete sue
cess Of two magazines, at an expense
of only $4,000.
There is another publication not a
thousand miles from here, that has
been handled by business men,
and which has benevolently assimi-
lated about quarter of million
dollars.
With out outside backing, and with
no loud blowing of horns, [ have
kept pegging away, and both the
Jeffersonians are in a healthier con-
dition than the magazine which has
blown in so much money.
The weekly paper and the monthly
Magazine, are now my lifework
There is no office, and no amount of
money that would tempt me to part
with them. In a sense, they are my
children. If they were creatures of
flesh and blood, I could not love
them more Through them, my mes
sage goes to my fellowman, and his
answer comes to me. Through them,
I lay my hands on the reins of pub
lie opinion, endeavoring to guide it
right No man is SO rich as to get
anything into the JeffersOnians that
ought not to be there. And no man
is so poor that he can not get hear
ing and defender, if some one has
done him a wrong.
1t is most gratifying to know that
the influence of the paper and Mag
azine is rapidly widening. Our cir
culation has increased wonderfully,
and we now have a steady and grow
ing revenue from advertising.
By the way, will give you an ex-
ample of how the plutes and grab
bers Elk" papers and magazines:
One of the "power" companies
was solicited for an ad. by our bust
ness manager. The president of the
company offered a contract which
would have paid us Handsomely
but there was string to it. The
corporation president wanted to pre-
sent the power company side Of the
question of power-site grabbing.
Our manager passed the matter up
to me, and I said-"Yes, let him
write anything he likes, but [ will
reply to it.
That didn't suit the corporation
man, at all. What he wanted, as it
finally appeared, was a personal in
terview with me. Was sure he could
so present facts, figures and argu-
ments as to change my mind, on that
subject I told Lanier to write him
that he could come and talk; but
that I was in favor of the public
ownership of those power-sites, and
that the man didn't live who could
change my mind about it.
We did not get the advertisement.

WILL HAVE TO WORK
IN MILWAUKEE, NOW
(By United Press Leased Wjre)


MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 25.-
City employees who have been en-
joying sinecures for years are fear.
ful that they will have to do a lot
of real work from this time forth.
Mayor Emil Seidel, the new soc.
ialist executive Of Milwaukee, set
them an example of what was ex-
pected of them when he appeared
at his office at a. m.-many hours
earlier than former mayors have
started to work-and announced
that for the present he would work
daily from a. m. to $50 D. m,
He expects to shorten these hours
later, when he becomes familiar
with the routine Of his office.
The mayors first instructions to
the city employees follow:
Work diligently, persistently
and conscientously. This ought to
suffice until we are acquainted with
the need Of further direction"
The only instruction that the
mayor has issued so far Is that
to the policeman detailed to guard
the entrance to the executive Of

MRS. NELLIE ANHEUSER
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 25.-Peo-
pie are wondering what's back Of
Miss Nellie Anheuser's refusal to
pay her Chicago dentists CDR.
Robt. Good bill of $25 an hour.
They're wondering just as well
what the doctors motive was in
attaching her trunk full of hand
some gowns and lingerie, just as
she was ready to dress for box
party at the opera "Othello,' which
she went to Chicago particularly
to see. BY the time she gave bail
and secured the necessary clothes
it was too late for the opera.
Miss Anheuser had refused to pay
the bill for several weeks, though
her pin money" amounts to about
$500 a week. Being cut out of the
opera has made her more furious,
so that she'll never, never, never
pay it," until the highest court she
can appeal to compels her. BE
sides, the work was no good any
way she says.
She admits that she and DR.. Good
were once quite good friends. So
st. Louis is waiting for the tale
that hangs therby to drop. 'Tis

Taking the word Of Assistant
Water Commissioner Alexander
Lindsay for 1t, the people Of the
Monroe hill district, who suffered
for water for six or eight hours
Saturday night, can look for no i'm
provement before June I, when, 1t
Is announced, the new pumps will
be In operation.
Mr.. Lindsay says that the short
age Saturday afternoon was caused
by cleaning out the reservoir. 1t
seems strange that IN some sec
tions of the city there was water
enough for automatic sprinklers
while on the Monroe hill there was
not enough to drink for a period
of six to eight hours. The water
was short again last night Mr..
Lindsay says there is no relief in
sight in the way of additional
pumping capacity until June 1.
People residing on the North
Side believe that since the new
force main has been installed that
the water is shot directly over the
North Side to the south hill and
that unless the pressure reaches a
certain height there is none sent
to the north hill. Pressure valves
are so regulated that the people
on the north hill are served only
after those on the South Side get
what they want.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-04-25
IT could Have
BEEN ADJUSTED

II the water shortage continues
as severe as it was Saturday night
for a very long period of time
there is bound to be trouble for
some one at the city hall. When
it is considered that measures OF
water relief were authorized by the
city council nearly a year ago and
that pumps and equipment could
have been secured and installed by
this time had there been no jug
Cling of contracts by the board OF
public works 1t can be seen that
the present city administration
will have a hard time to dodge the
responsibility. The board of pub
lie works fooled around with the
pump contracts for weeks, trying to
award them to other than the low
est bidders, causing an injunction
suit to be filed in court at the time
and resulting in reletting OF the
contract, when the favored COM
pany. the Allis-Chalmers people,
were finally given the work.
The pumps could have easily
been in place before now had the
board used proper diligence, but
the city will probably be lucky If
we now get relief by June l. The
same jugglery used in handling the
pumps has been employed in build
ing the standpipes and reservoir.

OF LOVE
AFFAIR
Poor Girl Found
in Pool Blood---
Still Alive.

Evidently discouraged In love
affairs, Rose Edith Bamberger,
said to be school teacher from
Orofino, Idaho, stood before the
dresser mirror in her lovers room
and fired 90 caliber bullet
through her head at the Laneham
hotel, corner Bernard street and
Main avenue, at noon today. j. D.
Farley, also from Orofino, in
whose room the s\'I attempted to
take her life, is now being held by
the police. The bullet passed COM
pletely through the girls head, but
at 1880 she was still alive and
preparations were being made to
take her to a hospital. No hope
is expressed for her recovery.
Farley had left his room for a
few minutes temporarily. when
Miss Bamberger committed the
act, and he found her moaning and
groveling in a pool of her own
blood on the floor of the room
when he returned. A chamber
maid was working on the same
floor, but says she did not hear
the shot.
According to the statement of
hotel attaches, the girl came to the
Langham from the Brown hotel but
a short time before the shooting.
Farley, it is announced, has admit
ted that he had been keeping COM
pany with Miss Bamberger, but so
far is said to have declared that he
had given her no cause for her rash
deed. The police are conducting a
hasty investigation into circum-
stances of the case. Farley is a
brother of DR.. Farley of Orofino,
Ida, and is well known in that part
of the country.
