Republicans Win Election

In Tuesdays election r. n. West
was elected mayor by majority or
1O5 out of total of 500 votes cast.
Five Republicans were elcted on the
council, three Progressives, city
clerk and treasurer are Republicans
and city Engineer Progressive. The
vote was close in some cases and the
contest was clean and good natured
throughout. Little or no bitterness
was engendered, and the result Is a
vindication of action of the past two
administrations in municipal i'm
provements.
Naming the Wards.
Years ago the appelation of THE
Bloody Fourth" was assigned to the
4th ward; later THE Weeping Third"
came into use. Two years ago the
First Ward put up such an unexpec-
ted and effective fight they were dub
bed the "Scrapping First, and now
THE Respectable Second" came in
for clubbing.
The Scrapping First kept up its re-
putation for energy by making the
vote close on several candidates, and
A B. Stevens, Progressive won over
Geo. L. Stone, Republican by one
vote. The Respectable Second put up
such respectable Republican major
tiles there was no argument about
their opinions on current questions.
The Weeping Third lost their candi-
date for treasurer by a small margin
and Mrs. Charlotte Rae will serve
again, Mrs. Nels Sill losing. Joe
Lacour won by four votes and Alex
Younie won by eight votes, ]. H
Miller and J. H. Bond losing. In the
Bloody Fourth D. L. O'Neal and Val
entine Van Bramer defeated Jas,
Gibbs and Philip Wolf by good mar
gin sand maintained the reputation
of the ward for Democracy and anti
Republicanism.
The official count will be made by
the council Monday evening, and
the new administration will be sworn
on in April 18th.

SHIP BRICK FROM RICHMOND.

A Blackfoot lady has just received
a shipment of brick from Richmond,
Virginia. by parcel post. 1t was
only one brick and it was wrapped
carefully to prevent it's being marred
in transit. She isn't going to make
a business of shipping them for this
one was family relic and the parti-
cular thing left from her parents
estate that she spoke for.
The shipment was consigned to
Mrs. Byrd Trego, and was carried
some three thousand miles and laid
down at the house for IA cents post
age. 1t was blue brick, made of
what they call "flagstone" in the
Catskills, and was engraved with the
name "Susie," which is the Christ
ian name Of Ye Editors wife. The
brick was in the old ancestral home
at Kingston on the Hudson, went
south with the family and when
mother Boice passed away at Christ
mas time in 1912, it was among the
things that were left without an own
er. In the division of the keep
sakes and treasures Mrs. Trego said
she would like to have the engraved
brick to put against the front door
at Sagehurst to hold it open in sum-
mer, SO it is there.
The old home in the Catskills has
been taken as part of the reservoir
site being made to store water for
Greater New York. .

PAT GROVE RELEASED.

Pat Grove, known to the police all
over the country because of the kid
mapping Of Eddie Cudahy of Omaha

serving a 90-day sentence for order
ing more chop suey at local resta-
urant than he had money to pay for

time yet to serve.
This action was taken by the court
because Frank Mcdonald, superin-
tendent of the prison, told the Judge
that the stories he was telling Of his

were having serious effect on the
young prisoners, many of them serv-
ing their first sentence for trivial Of
fenses.
"Crowe will make bandits of all of
the young prisoners I have il he Is
allowed to stay there" Mcdonald
told the Judge. "They look on him
as hero and sit with open mouths
listening to his tales of murder and
robbery. I have tried to make him
stop talking, but 1t is no use. -
The Court agreed with Mcdonald
and Grove was released with the un.
derstanding that he leave Minneapo.

COTTAGE BURNED TUESDAY,

Tuesday afternoon the cottage pt
number 400 east Pacific street oc-
cupied by Marvin Killian and Wife
and the Misses Dayley took fire from
a defective flue and quickly burned
to the ground with nearly all its
contents. The fire department res
ponded promptly and all the drays
were on hand to rush the hose cart
and chemical extinguisher quickly to
the scene. The building and contents
were past saving when they arrived
and delay of nine or ten minutes In
getting the hose in action demon
strated what has just been emphas-
lied in the Republican platform that
the fire department needs re-organ"
izing and drilling to increase its ef-
ficiency. The chemical extingnisher
was used in protecting the home OF
Mr.. Mcneil which was receiving a
shower of cinders and would have
burned too but for timely protection.
The fire company attached their
hose to what they supposed was the
nearest hydrant but found the tap an
odd size and would not take the
wrench. Then they rushed the hose to
hydrant 25O feet farther on and
found it was the old same size. Re-
turning to the first hydrant they
sprung the wrench and succeeded in
turning on feeble stream that in
creased as they turned it little at a
time by hard struggles. There are
two kinds of hydrants, one that the
wrenches fit and another they don't
fit. If your house is afire and the
hydrant is one of the don't fits or If
they carry the wrong wrench your
house burns down.
A reorganization of the depart
ment and the adoption of rules that
will insure the carrying Of nozzle and
wrenches, that no gravel will be in
side the hose and that wheels shall
be creased so they will not get hot
and slide during the trip to the fire
and some of the things that past ex-
perience shows are needed.
The cottage that was burned be-
longed to the Gem State Land com
pany composed of Alex Younie, E
M. Kennedy, Guy Barnum, and
others, and was insured for $3.50
Mr. and Mrs. Killian who occupied
part of the house, had considerable
sickness during the past winter and
Mr.. Killian has just recovered from
an operation for appendicitis and
we are informed they are in hard
circumstances financially.
The Misses Dayley have been
working in the Blackfoot Steam
Laundry and by close economy were
accumulating some good furniture,
nice dishes, pictures, table linen etc,
to furnish cottage Of their own
which they planned to build on to'
they were paying for out of theil
wages. !
They had some paper money II
ve-dollar bills in the house which
was found among the charred re
mains, and an effort viii be made te
have it re-issued by the government

in a condition to read the denomin
atoms.
The girls lost everything excep
the clothes they had on at their worf
and one winter coat. They arr

HINES TELLS ABOUT
STATES HARD LUCK
Recounts How Washington s
Growth Has Been Retarded
by Misfortunes.

The state of Washington has always
played in hard luck as far as develop
ment is concerned, according to George
H. Hines secretary of the Oregon His
Thurston county, who told the story
of the misfortunes of Washington in
Elma recently.
The father of George Hines came
across the prairies from Illinois in
1858, a member of the first overland
train that ever came to this state, says
the Elma Chronicle. When his party
arrived they were struck with the
beauty of the Puget Sound country, as
were all the other settlers who follow
ed them. George Hines says that he
often heard his father and Governor
Stevens, the first territorial governor,
discuss the prospects of this country.
Both were of the opinion that people
from the East would soon flock to
Washington and that the state would
be remarkably developed in the space
of few years.
But the fates were against Washing
ton. In 1855 the Indian war broke out
and the settlers had a determined fight
on their hands. The war stopped all
emigration from the East as settlers
did not care to settle in hornets nest.
| Then before the territory had recover
ed from the Indian war the Civil war
broke out. All the able bodied men,
pioneers were off to the front There
they remained through four years of
the bitterest conflict in history. Hence
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1913-08-08

during that period there was no emf.
grafton to Washington.
After the war the East had to re.
cover before any people could go West
The recovery was slow. Then in 1879
came a panic and that again delayed
settlement. Thus it was 1880 before
the settlement of Washington really
began. This settlement, but for I'm.
toward events, would probably have
begun in 1855. Hence the passage of
events set this country back about a
quarter ia century.
George Hines, by the way, is one of
the few who can say they walked from
Illinois to Washington across the prai.
ries and the mountains. He was a
husky boy at the time, and he found
walking more comfortable than riding
behind an OK team. The train of teams
averaged only about Is miles a day.
and so boy had no trouble in walk.

LOGANBERRY JUICE.
Makes Fine BevernEe-OregOn Profess
sor Gives Recipe.

Stimulation of home compost
ton is the method proposed by Prof.
C. |. Lewis, head of the division of
horticulture at the Oregon Agricul-
tural college, for developing the mar
ket for the loganberry. One way to
accomplish this, the professor says, is
to use its juice as beverage, and he
gives the following recipe for making
it:
place the berries in a dish with Just
enough water to cover the bottom of
the dish to keep the berries from burn
ing. Heat the berries, stirring occa-
sionally with a wooden spoon or pad
die but do not let them boil. Take
from the stove, strain through jelly
bag, mix juice with one-third it's meas
ure of sugar, return to the stove and
again heat to boiling point only. Seal
at once in fruit jars or bottles.
For drinking, this syrup should be
diluted with four or five times its
measure of water. 1t Is splendid
beverage to take with meals and the
children find 1t great treat. The
time will probably come when entire
train loads of berries will be grown
solely. for juice purposes"
