A LETTER FROM MIR. MCCLURE.

My Dear Mr. Watson: I appre-
ciate very much the assistance and
support you gave us during our re-
cent campaign. No doubt our sue
cess is largely due to your influence.
The latest reports show that we
have carried at least thirty-tWo coun-
ties, and I firmly believe with the
right organization and work, begin
ming at once, that we can carry the
State in nineteen-sixteen.
I am enclosing you check for
$500 for your book on Socialism
and the Handbook of Politics.
The last edition of the Jefferso-
MAN gives the most intelligent ana
lysis of the white primary situation
that I have seen yet, in fact your

 SEATTLE June 29.-Alfred H. Brooks, head of the geological survey of Washington, arrived here today on his way to Alaska, for which place he will leave July 1st.
 Brooks says provisions has been made in his department for extensive work in Alaska this summer and that the field force has been enlarged and the scope of the work will be greatly extended. He says that more land will be surveyed this year than in former years owing to the demand which will be made for agricultural lands by req son of government railroad construc- ton which will attract many people to the country seeking homes. Brooks will have general supervision of the
