Mr.. Stoever is not only the talking candidate,
but is getting to be the webbing candidate
after three weeks Of iterations and reiteration
that he would make no other statement to the peo-
pie than simply his "safe and sane, progressive,
conservative attitude on all questions Showers
old standpat political hackers concluded this was
not getting him anywhere SO they organized
"Stoever platform"
More talk
More words.
More generalities.
He says he will reduce the debt by "refunding
it." That is, he will pay off the debt by issuing
new bonds to pay it off. Great craftsmanship
He talks of the restricted district in riddles.
"The immediate construction of the tideflat car
line is necessity" SO says Mr.. Stoever Mayor
Seymour has been saying the same thing for two
years and not rail is laid nor tie bought, and
Commissioner Lawson said last night in his meet
ing that the mayor dreams Dreams
Do the people want another dreamer of dreams
in the city hall?
Or do they want mayor who will get results
IT am in favor of civil service" But Mr.. Stoe-
yer says he wants it so heads Of departments can
fire men when they please ''in the interest of ef-
ficiency," of course.
Every enemy of civil service in the country
wants just that kind of civil service.
It is just more words, meaningless words.
The people tired of talk at the city hail. they
want mayor that will get results.
And A. v. Fawcett is that kind of mayor
Rev. G. F. w. Stoever spent six years lerning to
talk, and has been practicng it ID years. He
never spent day trying to learn to do anything.
A. w. Fawcett has spent lifetime learning to do
things and the people know he knows how
Do the people want man trained to talk or
man trained to do things?
Rev. Stoever is backed by the Arvid Rydstrom,
Jimmy Davis Stone Webster standpat crowd.
They control him. They decided it was necessary
he should issue platform after he had declared
for three weeks he would not have one. They will
be his boss when in office
No individual, clique, faction or gang has ever
been strong enough to even try to boss A. V. Faw-
cett.
Fawcett will go into office free to work for the
people.
Stoever would go in tied hand and foot to do the
bidding of the special interests who want to get
something from government at the public expense
The people are onto the game
Thew want less talk and more business.
They will elect A. v. Fawcett mayor OF Tacoma.

ID SEARCH FOR
 LOST ROCKER MINE

It is reported that another party is being organized in the states to search for the Lost Rocker Mine" :" which is believed to be located on the upper Porcupine or Firth river. The finding of the supposedly rich mine has been the dream of scores of prospectors who have returned from the search poorer but wiser men. All attempts to find the spot from which Wagner took the $6O,OOO he deposited ir the San Francisco mint in the fall of 1896 have failed. There are few pioneers of Alaska who are not familiar with the story of the lost mine, and several miners are still in the north who have been members of parties who have spent time and money in the vain search. Wagner, claiming to hail from Alas ka died of Bright's disease in Chi cago in the winter of 1896. Before his death he told few friends that he had discovered place in Alaska where gold nuggets could be picked from the bed of a stream. He left a map describing the location of his find. A search of the records in San Francisco disclosed the fact that a man named Wagner had deposited a large amount of gold, all of it in nuggets. Parties were organized and attempted to follow the dead mans directions to the stream but with out success. Some few miners re- fuse to believe the mine myth and dream of some day being the lucky one to locate it.

LAW OF. coNTRABAND GOODS.

The question of contraband goods is of much interest to neutral na- tions during war among neighboring states. The law as to what consti- tutes contraband of war is really well-settled, the issue arising only when doubt exists as to the intent with which goods not necessarily contrab band are sold and delivered. An acceptation of contraband goods is given in the opinion by Chief Jus tice Chase in the case of "The Peter hoff" 6 Wall. 2S). He divides mer- chandise going into a nation at war into three classes:
 "Of these classes, the first consists of articles manufactured and primar- fly and ordinarily used for military purposes in time of war; the second, of articles which may be and are used for purposes of war or peace, according to circumstances; and the third, of articles used exclusively for peace purposes. Merchandise of the first class, destined to Q belligerent country or places occupied by the army or navy of belligerent, is al ways contraband; merchandise of the second class is contraband only when actually destined to the military or naval uses of a belligerent; while merchandise of the third class is not cOntraband at all 7"

 Beans While You Wait.
 Portland. Ore.-Springs hot enough to cook beans and boil eggs in three minutes have been found within a short distance of Portland. They are on the Clackamas river, thirty miles south of Estacada and seventy miles from this city.
 These springs are fifty in number, and one throws out stream seven inches in diameter. The springs have been known to the Indians for many years. 4 French half breed named Michel Arquette, trapper, hearing an old Indian of the Molalla tribe speak of hot springs this side of the range, made an investigation and found them.
 The springs are supposed to be the hottest in the world-220 degrees. Beans have been cooked in the larger spring with the same dispatch as on a stove. Eggs encased in a mesh of any kind have been cooked in three minutes. Even fish have been caught in the Clackamas river and without being taken off the line have been dropped into the spring and in very brief time cooked to turn.
 The waters come from solid rock and are strongly impregnated with salts. but not of sufficient strength to make the taste objectionable.
 Many stories are told by the Indians with regard to the wonderful proper ties of these springs, and they have been known to cross the mountains from the reservation on the other side to bathe in the water of the "big hole." as they call 1t.

TEXAS WOMAN BANKER
 INSPIRES CONFIDENCE
Consulted on Business and
 Heads Woman's Association.

Austin, Tex-Miss Leffler Corbitt, who was elected president of the Texas Woman Bankers association at the recent convention of that organization at Fort Worth. is one of the ablest as we'll as the most popular business woman in the state. Miss Corbitt IS connected with the Austin National bank, holding the position of note teller.
 After leaving the University of Texas Miss Corbitt taught school for awhile She then turned to banking as more congenial and profitable occupation. entering the employ of the Austin Ma tional bank as general utility clerk. Through her business ability and by close study of banking methods. she rapidly worked her way up until she now holds one of the most responsible bank positions of any woman in the state. In addition to her official duties. Miss Corbitt acts as the adviser and business representative of a number of wealthy women of this city. who place more confidence in her opinions on business matters than in the aver. age business man.
 Owing to the press of business Miss Corbitt was unable to attend the con vention at Fort Worth. She was so we'll known among the women bankers of Texas. however. that she was elected president of the association by a unanimous vote. She is planning to widely extend the influence of the Texas Woman Bankers association while at its head. Among the am- bitions of the Texas association is the organization of national body. which shall include. all the women bankers in the United States.
