Sheldon Postoh1ce EIGHT.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 9.-The
pcstoffice situation at Sheldon, Iowa,
has been attracting considerable at
tention among politicians Of the elev-
Ientf district and there has been much
speculation as to the position Con
gresham Geo. C. Scott, OF that dis
trict. would take in the matter. Shell
don is one of the largest towns of
northwestern Iowa. The postmaster
is A. w. Sleeper Mr. Sleeper was
SO strongly opposed to President
.Taft's denomination last spring that
he took a leading part In organizing
O'BIien county against the administra-
ton and then, later, during the presi-
Dental campaign, he espoused the
bull moose faith. Now that the term
Of his Office is about to expire, Mr.
Sleeper has been strenuously seeking
a reappointment at the hands OF
President Taft. However. the Shell
con postmaster has met with lot OF
opposition among republicans in his
home town and this opposition has
made itself felt at Washington. Rep
resentatiye Scott has taken the posi-
tion that Mr.. Sleeper has n.e,le q
good postmaster ana therefore, is en-
titled to second term.

Law Enforcement.

Two striking colored and shaded
maps of the United States are used
to illustrate the fact that inefficient
factory inspectors are the rule and
that in the whole country there are
but 425 inspectors to take care of
26S,491 establishments spread over an
area OF 3,024,50T square miles and en-
gaging an average of 6,615.o46 wage
earners. Only in Illinois, Massachus-
etts, New York, New Jersey and Wis
consin are inspectors under civil ser
vice rules, while no such partial
safeguard, or even any previous train
ing, is required in twenty-one states.
The association urges united effort
this year to improve this situation and
furnishes, by way of comparison, de-
tails of the methods in use in many
foreign countries for obtaining a high
ly trained body Of technical experts
to do the work here in large measure
left to those with political pull.
Each of the eight parts Of this leg

the American association for labor
legislation. The whole is a compact

colored maps and charts, tables and
photography, giving concrete informa-
ton for legislators and their consti-
tuents.

Protection Of Working Women

Protection of Working Women
A fund of material is collected and
tabulated in relation to the protection
of women workers. AS graphically
shown by map, sixteen states still
have no limitation Of hours, and in
eighteen slater the limits are only
from sixty to seventy hours. Eight
hour laws have been upheld in the
courts both in Washington and Cali
fornia. Colorado by referendum vote
has established an eight hour day
and Massachusetts has provided for
minimum wage boards. The associa-
ton aims to cooperate with others to
bring about in connection with an ex-
tension of these laws, such reforms
in administration that the legal pro-
lection granted to women shall not be
as illusory as at present because OF
inadequate enforcement.

down again went the deer with leaps
and bounds, making surprising head
way owing to the deep snow. But the
hunters never once gave up the chase
knowing that it would only be ques-
ton of time until the animal would be
tired out. The capture was finally
made in the mill yards OF the Lamb

piles Of lumber unable to go any far

The deer stands about three foot

HOXEY AND HAMILTON
BOTH AFTER POSTOFF|Cf
Appointments are Likely to be Made in
MarCh-DaVS Wants Job Again

From all reports there is hot fight
in progress among three of Leaven-
worth's citizens, namely George w.
Hoxsey, Guy Hamilton and the pre-
sent incumbent, ]. c. Davis, to see
who is going to land the postoffice for
the next four years. Each one is al
ready claiming the Office, but it is not
believed that the appointment will be
made until sometime in March or un-
til after Woodrow Wilson assumes his
duties as president, in which event the
coveted office will likely lay between
DR.. Hoxsey and Mr.. Hamilton.
Mr.. Davis has hopes of retaining
the Office for another four years, but it
remains to be seen as to whether or
not the Senate will confirm Mr.. Tafts
appointments. The democrats believe
that their victory entities them to the
public offices thruout the country and
all appointments will be opposed to
the utmost by the hourbons.
Mr.. Hamilton spent several days in
Spokane this week, supposedly in con-
nection with the postoffice appoint
ment, soliciting the aid Of prominent
politicians of that city. He has al
ready started house to house canvass
for signers on his petition.
DR.. Hoxey is said to have the en-
dorsement OF National Committeeman
Pattison, Mr.. Heifner and other big
democrats, besides a large petition,
and his friends are already hailing him
as Leavenworth's next postmaster.

seen on the railroad track Saturday
morning about mile up the canyon

that prompted the hunters to go in
pursuit Of the animal. The deer was

Five men who have already con-
fessed. to many robberies were arrested
in Wenatchee last Saturday night.
When the authorities broke into their
shack which. is located on the east
side of the Great Northern tracks near
the Guthrie McDougall hospital, they
found enough loot to start general
store. Among the stuff found was
two gold watches, three gold rings,
and two gold chains, three rifles and
two shotguns, half dozen automatic
revolvers, $50 pounds Of ham and ba-
con, a number of carpenters tools,
three suits of mems clothes, six dozen
silver plated knives and forks, couple
OF sacks OF sugar, two telegraph key
boards and various other articles Of
small value.
The men give their names as, Ed
Collins, Frank Butler, James Gill,
Robert Huff and Paul Slocum. Their
ages range from 90 to 25 years and
it is likely that they will draw long
term in the state penitentiary. Slocum
was recently released from the state
reformatory and will likely be returned
to that institution.
The men are all said TO be I. W..

literature was found among their eff
fects. They are all we'll known

entity for several years.

The trouble started last Saturday when
the men were refused drink at
Mischke & Blake's bar. For this in
suit as they deemed it they swore they
would kill Messrs. Blake and Tarlton,
and rather than take any chances it
was decided to place the men under

MUCH ACTIVITY AT THE
BlEWFTT MINING CAMP
Consolidated Gold Mining and Refining
Co. Doing Much Development
Work at Famous Camps

The following taken from the Pa
cifc Mining Journal will be read with
interest by many local people who are
quite familiar with this we'll known
mining camp, located about twenty
miles from this city.
The camp of Blewett has been re-
vived within the last year. F. S. Ear
nest from Spokane took bond on the
Golden Eagle group little over a
year ago and has operated the property
continuously ever since. An incorpo-
ration known as the Consolidated Gold
Mines and Refining Co. Ltd, has
been organized by Mr.. Earnest and
associates and they have paid off the
bond and taken over the property in
the name Of the company. They
have done extensive development work
and have over 100000 worth Of ore
blocked out. The average of this ore
is $1,000 per ton. They have also
found some very high grade ore that
runs as high as 81, 200 per ton.
This property is equipped with
six-stamp mill with amalgamating
plates and concentrating tables, also
with aerial trans, telephone system,
assay Office and electric light plant.
The ore is not OF free milling ma
ture as was first supposed. The COM
pany has had a number of cyanide
tests made and have proven it to be
a cyaniding proposition, as tests made
show an extraction Of from 81 per cent
to SO per cent of the assay value. The
company has a 100-ton cyanide plant
under construction at the present wri-
ting and expect to have it in operation
by the first of June.
The camp Of Blewett is located on
the east side of the Cascade mountains,
on what is known as Peshastin creek,
which is twelve miles from Blewett
and 16 from Leavenworth, on a good
wagon road.
1t is an old camp and has produced
in the neighborhood Of $3,000,000,
but on account of crooked manipula-
ton of some Of the former promoters,
the camp has been practically aban-
doned and the people who purchased
stock in the mines OF the camp have
been the losers.
The Blenn property in this camp is
under bond to Jno. R. Magill, who
has about eight men working on an
ore body from three to four feet in
width, running $42 per ton, and is
operating with a mill leased from the
Consolidated Gold Mines and Refining
Company.

MANY CANDIDATES FOR
LEGISLATIVE OFFICES
PIiny Allen, Elected Pres, of Senate and
Howard Taylor, Speaker of the
House

AS presiding officers in the senate
and house, Senator Pliny L. Allen of
King county, republican, and Howard
D. Taylor Of King county, republican
speaker of the last house, were elected
for the ensuing session, at the open
ing of the 18th biennial session Of the
legislature on Monday, January 18th.
The bull moose candidate for presi-
dent pro tenn of the Senate was Sen
ator R. A. Hutchinson of Spokane,
who received Is votes while Senator
Allen received 81 votes. In the house,
Taylor, the republican candidate was
opposed by representative Cookery OF
Spokane county, the bull moose can
didate, who received % votes as
against 90 for Taylor. Turnbow, the
democratic member from Whitman
county received votes for speaker OF
the house, and Masterson of Walla
Walla county received one vote, a
complimentary vote from representative
Turnbow, in return for the two votes
cast for him by the Walla Walla
county members. Representative
Sumner Of Chelan county was one of
those who voted with the majority in
favor of Taylor. Senator Flummerfelt
of Chelan and Kittitas counties voted
with the minority in favor Of Hutchin-
son the bull moose candidate for presi-
dent of the senate.
On the second day of the session
the matter of the confirmation of the
thirty recess appointments made by
Governor M. E. Hay, since the last
session Of the legislature was taken up,
and by vote Of % to II the appoint
ments were confirmed. Senator Flum-
merfelt of Chelan county voted with
the II who opposed the appointments.
There was some opposition to the con-
firmation of the appointment of John
L. Riseland, but no aspersions were
cast upon his honesty in the conduct
of the department, the objection being
merely that he did not secure large
enough appropriation from the legisla-
ture to conduct his department.

Local Basket Ball Team Loses 40 to II

The local high school basket ball
team went to Cashmere last Saturday
accompanied by loyal crowd OF root
ers with plenty Of confidence that they
would be able to come out with the
long end Of the score, but were sadly
disappointed, the Cashmerites piling
up a score OF 40 to their II. Just
what the real trouble was we have been
unable to learn, but those who claim
to know say the Cashmere boys have
had more practice and are consider
ably heavier than the local team. After
the game the students from this city
were rendered a reception in the Cash
mere high school rooms.
Professor Moore says the boys are
still practicing every day and more
games will likely be arranged in the
near future.

Orders Swede to Leave City

Chief of Police Bohnsack this week
gave Yon Yonson a big swede who
has been hanging about town for the
past two weeks his orders to leave the
city. This is the same man who
caused the Spokane police force so
much trouble on several occasions and
it was thought best to get him out OF
this city before he started any trouble.
He is veritable giant and it required
six policemen to place him under ar
rest in Spokane several weeks ago al
ter he had started a rough house in
one OF the restauranta there.

the girls who handed him the coin to
make change. He at once noticed
that the coin was lighter than a real
five dollar gold piece and on examina-
tian found it to be nickel which had
been given a coat OF gold paint. He
returned the nickel to the man saying
that it would be impossible for him to
make the change unless he would ac-
cept five pennies in return. The same
day an attempt was made to pass
similar coin on ]. B. Huff, but he no
ticed that it was not the kind that the
government makes and returned it to
the man.
