PLACES ON COUNCIL

Eight candidates have been nom-
mated for the three vacancies on
the Council to be filled at the gen.
eral election Tuesday, December s.
What promised to be a quiet cam
paign has developed as a result into
brisk affair.
Wilder r. Jones, city treasurer,
will succeed himself in that office,
no opposition to him having arisen.
He was given the nomination on
two tickets. and was practically en-
dorsed by the Socialists who could
not include him among their cam
didates because he is not affiliated
with that party.
Pursuant to call of the Mayor,
the official city caucus was held
Friday night in the Town Hall. Mr..
Bailey WAS named to preside and
the following ticket was selected:
B. Oldmeyer and A. NJ. Riddle, coun-
cilmen two year term; George Bost-
wick, one year term; and Wilder
Jones, treasurer. Gerfit Van Leeu-
wen was nominated for the two-year
term, but withdrew.
The Socialist caucus was held the
same evening in Gale & Colley's bar
Der shop and the following were NAM
ed: Councilmen, two-years, r. r,
Helder, George Scovill; one-year,
VIM. A. Bauman.
From a field made up of Frank
Knapp, George Frick, F. E. Bate
man, w. E. Topping, Warren Haw-
ley, P. ]. Van Hemert, Ed Edison,
Ben Oldemeyer and George Scovill,
a caucus in the Town Hall finally
selected the following for candidates
on the Peoples ticket: George
Scovill and F. E. Bateman, two
years; c. h. Axling, one-year, Will
der Jones, treasurer. The vote at
the end of the first ballot stood
George Scovill, II; F. E. Bateman,
10, and Frank Knapp, 6. On Mr..
Knapp's Withdrawal, II second vote
was taken and Conrad Axling was
named.
George Scovill withdrew Tuesday
as a candidate on the People, tick
ct, but he still is in the race as a
Socialist candidate.

LIQOUR INTERESTS
OPEN FIGHT ON NO. 3

Back come the liquor interests
| into the fray. A group of Belling-
| ham citizens have started move
ment for a reconsideration of the
prohibition measure.
The following article from the Be
! inghamHerald tells of the organiza-
tion and It's purposes:
Acting under the belief that a big
percentage of the voters of the, state
| failed to express their view on state
wide prohibition in the recent gem
raj election and that the initiative
measure therefore WAS not given a
fair test, the Evergreen Club of this
city is fathering a movement to agair
submit the question to the people.
Organizations similar to the Ever
green Club of thie city will be form
ed in many parts ofthe state and an
appeal. will be made to the legis-
lature to call a special election at
which the peope will be asked to
vote only Oh the question of whethe
or not intoxicating liquor shall be
sold or manufactured in this state.
A resolution adopted by the local
club prot ests against placing into
effect initiative measure No. g., and
seeks "a further expression of opln-
ion upon this so called initiative
measure. believing that the fact that
thousands of persons did not vote
upon it at all leaves the vital issue
which it affects still open to doubt. :.
II resolves "aS an organization 10
work Individually and to seek and
induce others to influence the legis-
allure to afford the people of the
state redress from and correction of
what what we considered to be ILL.,
advised, disturbing and destructive
legislation" The resolution is sign
ed by w. H. Clarke, president and
H. G. Kurbitz, secretary of the Bell
ingham Evergreen Club"
The committee named to extend
the work over the state is compos-
ed of w. H. Clarke, H. G. Kurbltz.
Olaf Hoel, Harry Call and H. H.
Matteson.
A wholesale liquor company OF
Seattle has succeeded in having
temporary writ issued restraining
Secretary of State l. M. Howell
from announcing the results of the
official canvass of the election re-
turns.
An attempt is being made to make
the injunction permanent.
The petition filed by the liquor
company attacks not only the pro-
hibition law but also the initiat-
i've amendment to the state constl-
tuition under which prohibition Was
submitted To the voters. 1t is al
legged tnat the initiative amendment
which WIS adopted in 1912, is IN
valid because it was Improperly sub
mltted, not having been Inscribed on
the senate journal and not having
been published III each county in tie
state the required number of days
before the 1912 election.
The prohibition law itself is at
tackled on general constitutional
grounds as a violation of personal
liberty and property rights and IN
reference with interstate CONNER
ce and also on the ground that 1t
was improperly submitted.
In this connection the petitioners
allege that the law is illegal because
the so-called pink pamphlet, pub
lished by the state to ihform The
voters concerning the initiative pro-
position, was not mailed to each
voter within the time fixed by law.

Disease Quarantine is Lifted

That the foot and mouth disease
has been completely eradicated by
the effectual measures taken by the
state department of agriculture to
control the Spokane outbreak, is
the belief announced by DR.. H. T..
Graves, commissioner of agriculture.
No further cases of the disease were
reported from any section following
the destruction of the infected herd
at Sopkane and the department has
now allowed quarantine to be lift
ed to the extent of allowing ship
ments of cattle into Washington
from Oregon, Idaho, and all but two
counties of Montana.

UsURloUs PROFIT.


In 1850 the proportion of the
annual wealth created in the
country by the joint efforts Of
labor and capital was one-fourth
to labor and three-fourths to
capital. Sixty years later the
proportion had changed to less
than one-fifth to labor and more
than four-fifths to capital. This
disproportion, to my mind. has
much to do with our present dis
content.
Usurious interest Is no more,
but usurious profit has taken its
place. The young man In as
Stunning leadership must create
a public opinion and develop a
moral sentiment against usurious
profit.

railroads of the country would

which come with 1t.
The doctrine of state rights
is seldom heralded save in oppo-
sition to needed reforms. The
doctrine of state rights must
be supplemented by the doctrine
of state duties If state rights
are to be preserved the young
men of tomorrow must take up
the cry of state duties.

Deshea and one or two other fearless friends with pistols in hand. he reached the hotel with his trembling young charge. Her anticipated pleasure was, of course, cut short, and over her protest-fearing a repetition of the scene recently enacted she and her father took passage on the New World for their home. When their landing was reached and the call at her room to make ready for disembarkation it was found empty and nowhere could the young heiress be found. In the dew or mist just aft of the wheel house. her del icate footprints were found, indicating that she had passed that way in going overheard. The boat was headed down stream and every effort made to find the missing, but without success. Rewards were offered, the river was guarded, mes sages were sent back to the city for each and every boat ascending the Alabama to have on board a oasket. At last the murlSy waters gave up their burden and it was taken aboard a steamer commanded by Capt. Frank Johnson. Various were the coniectures as to her sad and untimely end. Somnambulism was the one most generally accepted and not few thought that modification at the treatment ac- corded her father by the rabble of Mo- bile had much to do with her death. Noth- ing definite was ever known, and the soul of the beautiful Spartina Morrissette passed from the love and admiration or the grand old people of Monroe and Will cox into the great Beyond.

place. About 5 o'clock on the afternoon of March B. 1S5O the Orline steamer John, took fire just above Bridgeport landing and a panic ensued. Many prominent Ala bamians were hurled into eternity and several Camden citizens made narrow escapes. For many days thereafter the swollen corpses were borne through our little town, and our sympathetic people, though unaccustomed to such scenes, stopped all work to render aid to the af- f1icted The St. John was just "A hours from Mobile. and was making a record run.
 Especially do we remember the burial of G. F. Lindsay in our little graveyard. We stood near the open grave, with our eyes fixed on the coffin and our thoughts busy with the events of the past few days. Just as the solemn dust to dust and ashes to ashes was pronounced by the minister the mournful whistle of some boat sounding the signal for Bridgeport was borne to us, and instantly tears came to all eyes which were turned In the di- rection from whence the sound came.
 ''But by far the most heart-rending ca tastrophe ever recorded in connection with our rivers, was the burning of the large and palatial steamer, Eliza Battle, on the 'Bgbee, during a freezing night with no land to receive the few that might have reached it.

ANTE-BELLUM FLOATING
 PALACES OF THE ALABAMA

The accompanying article is the eighth of the series of stories entitled, "The Floating Palaces of the Alabama or de Good Old Times in Dixie" written just after the civil war by the late Judge Fleetwood Foster who for years was editor of the Wilcox Banner.
 The article follows:
 We are in receipt of a letter from one signing himself Old Timer of Mobile. asking why in our "reminiscences, we had not mentioned the Lowndes. Jr., and the w. w. Fry with its iron hull. In one of our chapters we did mention the Lowndes, Jr., but as that boat had disappeared be- fore 1853 we could give no detailed de- scription, though as a child we were taken as passenger on it. We well re- call the w. W. Fry with her huge iron hull painted deep red: also those enor- nous letters which Old Timer tells us were six feet in height. No doubt this was the first iron hull ever in Mobile waters, as the John T. Moore was the last.
 We have heretofore failed to mention two fine packets plying first the Alabama and then the Bigbee-the two Sallies-Sal- lie Carson and Sallie Spann. The former was a very pretty, trimly built craft, named in honor of the waters maternal grandmother, who, like all good grand mothers was, we are told, very beautiful. The Sallie Spann was a carrier and though apparently small and compact stood with the champions as to tonnage.
 Among the flyers who paid Mobile a visit and endeavored to get a foothold there was a very pretty steamer, the P c. Wallace, that chose Saturday night as the one for departure to Montgomery. but the renowned Cuba led her up and dowr the river until the owners decided to re turn to New Orleans
