Ebby Logging company in which Mrs.
Bahlke's uncle, n. G. Healy is interested
Aside from the fact that it was interest
ing on account of Mr.. Healy's connection
with the company, the plant its self was
well worth seeing, The home trip was
made over the Canadian Pacific railroad
by way of Moose Jaw and st. Paul, the
arrival in Alma being at the time stated.
At Eugene, Mr.. Bahlke met a number
of Alma people. In fact throughout
both states visited he ran across many
old friends. At Eugene he visited with
S. w. Tinker and family, VIM. Club
and family, CLARK Decker and wife,
Geo, Yerington, Frank Wood, Chas.
Blumfeld and others, all of whom were
we'll satisfied with the west and prosper
Gus. At Seattle, he had the pleasure of
taking dinner with Eliot F. Bivins and
wife, and at Portland dined with John
w. Fildew. Mr.. Filde wwill be remem-
bered as the former secretary of the
Union Telephone company. Through
out all the states there are large num-
Der of people from Michigan and
especially from the central part of the
state.
In the mountain streams Mr. Bahlke
enjoyed some of the finest fishing he
has ever had. The speckled trout of the
mountains are great and the sport in
hooking them is unsurpassed, A sight
seeing excursion to the Snoqualamie
Falls was a pleasant diversion during
the trip. On this and other jaunts he
obtained number of excellent views of
the mountains in the midst of the
Rockies.
In speaking of the journey Mr.. Bahlke
said: my observation was that the
people of the west are as general
thing prosperous but IN the matter of
agriculture and especially fruit growing
it does not equal Michigan and in
particular Gratiot county. l came home
thoroughly contented and satisfied that
this state can raise more things than
any other state in the union.
II regard Portland, Oregon as the
coming city of the coast. 1t is the
natural point through which the pro-
ducts of the great northwest will ulti-
mstely find their distinction through
the harbor of this city. 1t is at present
growing faster than any other city on
the coast. Seattle has magnificent
and beautiful harbor but as q center of
exports and imports, in my judgem ent,
it will ultimately be surpassed by Port
land. in view of the construction of the
new haroor for Portland which is being
carried OH.
Timber is fast being manufactured
into lumber and building products. IT.
rigation projects are rapidly developing
the county. The construction of the
Great Northern railroad in this part Of
the country by the j. J. Hill interests is
also developing a vast territory This,
in my judgement will in ten years
double the population of Portland,
1.-THE climate in the west has been
about the same as here. The trees and
fruit are no further advanced out there
than here. The finest attraction of the
coast is the beautiful mountains and
mountain streams and the magnificent
water furnished for drink and other
purposes.

City, and other places. On all these
trips pleasure was combined with bust
ness At Eugene for instances. he met
many former residents of Alma.
From Portland, Mr.. Rahlke went to
Seattle, Washington, which he made
his headquarters for about ten days
during which time he made frequent
excursions to nearby points, among
others being Everts, Tacoma, Snohomist
and Bellingham. From Portland trip
of about five hundred miles was made
in Packard touring car through the
ttate of Washington.
At Portland, also, Mr.. Bahlke had the
pleasure of inspecting the plant of the

Gen. Brayton became chief Of the State
police. but later resigned and went 70
work openly 10 defeat prohibition.
The state house. costing 100000,
opened some eight years ago. Gen. Bray
ton is said 10 have seen to II that the
sherin's office in the building was placed
where Il would be most convenient for
his own lobbying The desk and desk
chair which he occupied were bought by
the State. In 1891, when Gen. Dayton al
ready was sixty-one years old. he was ad-
mitted 10 the bar. The first time he tried
for admission il was refused. but he had
better luck the following year. Although
II is said he never tried case or gave
advice Of a strictly legal nature, he is
ssid TO have received retainer OF $4,000
a year from one railroad, and even a
larger amount annually from street rail-
ways OF the State. About these retain
ers Gen. Brayton made no bones what
ever.
II am an attorney for several clients, ."
he said once in an interview. and look
out for their interests before the legis-
lature. I am retained annually by the
New York. New Haven, and Hartford
Railroad Company, and, As every knows,

for the Providence Telephone Company.

tions-not permanent-with various COM

Another bit OF frank utterance credited
20 Gen. Brayton was the remark that in
hts opinion the voter should be paid for
the time he was absent from work while
going 10 the polls on election day As a
rule, Gen. Brayton thought the time thus
spent was worth about 8.
Gen. Brayton's honesty, according to
his own lights. was proverbial. Gov
Higgins. a bitter political enemy, said
OF him: "Brayton is a study. He was
born without a moral understanding or
a conscience. and actually does not
realize his own infamy. He does wrong
because he believes wrong is right, He
believes that every man IS for sale and
is cynical about goodness 10 a remarkable
extent"
Was Not Wealthy.
Brayton's fortune is said not q be
large. He is credited by his enemies with
having made much money out Of politics,
but with putting much Of it back into
politics again. In an interview not so
very long ago the general said that the
treatment he had received since he had
been blind had caused him TO modify his
opinion of human nature and 70 believe
that there is more good than bad in the
world He added that even political op-
ponents often helped him across the
street and on and of vehicles.
Gen. Brayton was married on March
Is. 1855, 70 Antoinette Percival Belden.
The accident which preceded Gen. Bray
tons death occurred August % last, The
general was cropping for the telephone on
his desk. when his chair slipped and he
fell TO the floor. He received a fracture
Of the left thigh and was taken TO a
hospital.

Providence, Sept. 2.-Gen. Charles R.
National Committee and political boss Of
Rhode Island. died this morning Of dia-
belts, aggravated by his recent fall, which
fractured his hip. lie was seventy years
old.
Gen. Charles r. Brayton. the blind
boss OF Rhode Island for the last thirty
years. was credited with "a control Of
political affairs in the small State that
made the power Of Quay, Plat, and all
the rest Of the classical bosses seem a
minor influence. For years he sat at his
own desk in the Office Of the sheriff OF
Providence County, in the State house,
across the corridor from the room OF the
senate. and summoned legislators and
gave orders with but meager resulting
complaint and no successful opposition.
The grip which Gen. Brayton main
tanned on his State would be possible in
no other Commonwealth of the Union.
In Rhode Island there are a number Of
small towns rapidly decreasing in popu-
lation and intelligence which have equal
representation in the State senate with
the larger cities. These towns consti-
tute rotten boroughs in the strictest
sense Of the term. Brayton was credited
with buying the vote of these towns
openly and without attempt at round
about means. IN addition to this. he I'M
doubtedly had a great personal popu-
larity and following for the BLUM quail
tiles which seem TO be part and parcel
OF so many Of the old-fashioned bosses.
