JAMES R. MORRISON, who has twice been elected
surveyor of King county, has been endorsed by the
Good Roads convention of southwest Washington for
highway commissioner of the state Morrison is one
of the most successful well competent surveyors
King County has had and it is to be regretted

commissioners the perqustes of the office of sher
M and it is predicted that he is going to lose his fight
not only lose his fight with the commissioners, but be
made the political laughing stock of the state 1t is
said of Hodge that he is grossly ignorant that he
does not know that he is political nuisance.
P. F. PURCELL of the Purcell Safe Lock Company,
who has just returned from trip to the Atlantic coast
