REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC
PARTIES WILL EACH NAME
CONSIDERED.

Denver, Colo, March "A wo
man mayor for Denver. This is the
gossip following banquet of promi
nent Denver women to which no men
were invited. The election is two
years off, but it is whispered that
the advisability of having a woman
candidate in the fleld-perhaps two
of them-was not only discussed
but was advocated with enthusiasm
1t is asserted that more women
than men voted in the last munich
pal election in Denver, also that wo-
men officials who have held Office in
Colorado have proved efficient.
One of these, Miss Katherine L.
Craig, former state superintendent
of public instruction, is mentioned
as a most probable nominee by the
republicans. The gossips already
have settled it that Mrs. Sarah Plat
Decker will be the democratic nomi-
nee for mayor.
Mrs. Dewey G. Bailey is recognized
as one of the most influential republi-
can women of Colorado. But an OBJ
stacle appeared in the way of her
possibility as candidate for mayor,
as it is said the republicans are like
ly to name Mr.. Bailey, her husband,
for mayor.

BOOK Of FATE

London, March 2.-The Book Of
Ironies," by G. Bernard Shaw, prom.
Uses to be social terror. 1t was
started years ago by the distinguish
ed dramatist who decided to probe
romance to the core.
The volume is a double column
scrap book. On one side are the
pasted announcements of betrothals
marriages and anecdotes of celebri
ties. The opposite column is left
blank until some years have passed
The other clippings, either from di-
vorce trials, newspaper statements
or written comments supply the
ironical epilogue.
For instance an 1894 cutting al.
ludes to the marriage of ]. M. Bar
RE and Mary Ansoll. ''They are ex-
tremely happy. The novelist-drama.
fist enjoys nothing better than to
lie on the Thames bank using his
wife's hairpins as pipe cleaners. May
their happiness increase through the
flight of years" opposite this is
pasted the notice of the recent d.
vorce decree.
Other cuttings refer to the Marl-
boroughs. The grim volume de-
scribes the death of many authors
and artists through drink and ex-
cess.

struction and irrigation companies.
grain and dairy farmers and orchard
lists throughout the Northwest are
again confronted with the problem
OF obtaining sufficient help, and the
shortage of servants and maids in
Spokane is greater than at any time
before. Employment agencies here
have orders for more than 10000
men for railroad, irrigation and
farm work in Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and Montana, the wages
ranging from $3.50 to $2.75 a day.
Orchardists in the Spokane country
are in need of several thousand men
and fully 500 competent domestics
could find immediate employment in
Spokane at wages Of from $50 to $40
a month and room AMI board in good
homes.
M. R. Arant, manager of the free
employment bureau maintained by
the city of Spokane, placed $50 men
and 40 women of 912 men and 81
women registered in his department
during the week ended May "a, while
Mrs c. S. Raymer, head of the en-
ployment department Of the Young
Women's Christian Association OF
Spokane, was able to fill only rs
per cent Of the calls for domestics.
She has places for $50 girls in first
class homes in this city, also for
more than 100 laundresses and sew
ing women and household servants.
Other employment agencies placed
between 5000 and 1000 men dur
ing the last 80 days, besides filling
servants positions in 1900 homes.
The greatest need for men is in
the grain and fruit districts in east
ern Washington and Oregon, north
and central Idaho and western Mon
tana, where, the state inspectors say,
the crops this season will be larger
than at any previous time in the his
tory of the country. 1t is predicted
that the wheat crop alone in the
four states will be fully s., 100000
bushels this season, and to harvest
this will require the services of more
than 10000 men.
