ddate for representative next year not. l am in
clined not to be though may get in it for the fun
Mr. Bishop was defeated for state senator last year by
a Democrat and he defeated before he knew that
those he naturally expected to work for him, were
working against him. In other words he acknowledges
that they caught him mapping. He is of the heav-

officials was overheard to remark day this week.
JACOB FURTH the we'll known banker and pro-
moter of Seattle does not take much stock in the talk
that Seattle is on the bum 'The town is about as
good as it has always been, barring the demorazed
condition of the lumber trade Seattle has always de-
pended on the lumber industry for her good times and
