STAGE "MURDERERS." !"
Sometimes as Vicious as the Real
Thing.

Though there is not the usual san
culinary tragedy usual TO the activities of
murderers, the deeds of this class of
WORTHLESS on the stage are not without
their tragic consequences; indeed, some
OF the victims had far rather been actu-
ally killed than made TO suffer the tor
ments inflicted on them by their jealous
rivals. 1t is a new kind of theatrical
article that George NJ. Cohan presents in
our next. Sunday Magazine.
The author is better known as hu-
morist; but he was SO grieved over the
iniquities shown in the subject for once
he has become entirely serious. These
.murderers'' are actuated by jealousy OF
another performer in the company. And

The Prospect for Water

Harry Cowell, of the Cowell Lime
& Cement Co., has been here this
week in consultation with his agent,
Mr.. G. Coghlan, and also looking over
Trout Lake and that portion OF his
property which has caused the con-
troversy over Friday Harbor's pros
pective water supply. While here
the question was briefly discussed
with Mayor Caprdn. Mr.. Cowell is
inclined to be fair in the matter, be-
lieving at the same time that the city
has not acted its part fairly with the
company or its agent.
He left the fore part of the week
for. San Francisco, stopping at Seat
tie to submit his findings here to his
attorneys, and after report from
them the directors of the company
will meet at SanFrancisco and decide
on course Of action. Word is to be
sent to Mayor Capron as soon as a
decision is arrived at.
It is Mr.. Cowell's candid opinion
that the public has no rights in the
lake, and if his attorneys so decide,
the company will if necessary makes
contest in the courts. Otherwise no
more will be asked for than is just
and right, and contention wll not be
made for the mere sake of delay.

lots, and the result canvassed
by the chairman and secretary
of the central committee, with
the aid of the advisory commit
tee already appointed.
The Republican National con-
vention, which will nominate the
Republican candidate for presi-
dent, will be held in Chic ago on
June 18th, 1912. The state of
Washington is apportioned eight
delegates to represent the Re-
publlcans of the state in the ma
tional convention. These eight
delegates are selected at the
state convention to be held in
Aberdeen on Nav Is. Under
the law it is necessary that a
county convention be held to
elect delegates to the state con-
vention. For that reason. the
delegates elected at the primary
to be held on May 4th in this
county, will meet and hold a
county convention on Tuesday,
May 7th, and at that county con-
vention will ratify the wishes of
the voters by electing them
selves as delegates to the state
convention.
Every Republican voter who
feels an interest in the nominal
ing of any of the candidates for
president, should attend the
primaries and express his pref
erence for the presidential nom-
inee, and also his preference for
the six delegates to represent
this county in the state conven-
tion.
The six candidates for dele
gates receiving the highest num-
Der of votes will be elected dele
gates, and the next six will be
elected alternates to the county
and state conventions.
II any further information is
desired, Or if there is any point
in the plan which does not seem
clear, the chairman, secretary,
or any of the members of the
advisory committee will be glad
to explain it.
