Paradoxically speaking, Col T.

many traits In common as drug

1t is this way.
|. If Roosevelt says thing is
white, you can place your ready
mazuma on Hartleys saying it's
black.
If Roosevelt is for knocking
some moss-grown precedent,
Hartley is for digging into the
mysteries of the Aztecs or Egyp-
tians to find new precedents to
follow.
IL Roosevelt is for reverencing
some old institution, Hartley is
for its destruction.

They Don't Harmonic.
They don't harmonic, those
two colonies. If one sang in B
flat the other would sing in L
sharp. Their thoughts do not
meet except to bump.
Not that the colonel from Oys-
ter Bay even knows Hartley, who
is the colonel of Everett.
Far be it from such.
Nevertheless they do not
agree.
Yet they are similar in many
ways.
They have each earned a col
onelcy, which in these days of
high militaristic atmosphere is
not to be sneezed at. They are
each in politics, and they each
have positive views.
Opposes the Unions.
Take the colonel of Everett,
for instance, when he was mayor.
Did he Lave union labels on
city stationery?
No, he did not. True, the sta
tionery was printed by union men
but that was because there
were no others available to dc
the work.
And even now that he is a can
didate for governor, does the col
onel of Everett make any con-
cessions to unionism?
No.
His cards bear no union labels.
Nor does his stationery.
Hartley's views are positive.
He is positive that organized la
boris interests are not his inter-
ests. And he makes no bones
about it. He doesn't sidestep.
Calls II Socialism.
Like the colonel of Oyster Bay
the colonel of Everett not only
thinks positively, but acts it, and
talks it. He's against the lad.
yanced legislation" ideas.
It's socialism. he says, and he
means II, and will not backsteI
on that.
There was the time when Act.
ing President Landes of the Uni.
versity of Washington came t.
Olympia in behalf of the univer.
sity appropriation.
Did Hartley forego the chance
to express his opinion?
No, indeed.
1t was the colonel of Everett
who threatened to cut off appro
priations or the state institution
IL socialism was ever taught
there again.
Get Title in Militia.
With all that, Hartley is al
affable gentleman courteous

BIG INCREASE IN VALUA-
TIoNs OVER PAST YEAR

Secretary Adamson has just com
pleted a compilation of figures on pub.
lie utilities valuations, but the compil-
alton has not been formally passed
upon by the commission, says the
Gazette. 1t shows an increase OF $9,-
100000 in valuations for 1916 over
1915. The increase was brought about
by the general increase of 14.3 per
cent, the addition to the rolls of new
properties which hitherto have es'
capped assessment and the correction
of erroneous underassessments of
1915 ms a result Of securing more de,
tailed information by the tax com,
mission than had been available in
past years. Private carline com
panies which never before have been
assessed in this state will appear on
the 1916 roll to the value of several
hundred thousand dollars.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
ENGINEER and FIREMAN

According to reports, Engineer F..
w. Taylor and Fireman c. o. Coats
had a most miraculous escape when
engine No. was wrecked Friday
west Of Wells. 1t will be remembered
that No. and two other engines were
bucking snow drifts, when the former
left the track and fell across the s.
p. line, blockading traffic on that line
for about twenty hours.
II seems that No. 8 climbed the
snow drift, the front end rearing until
the engine was almost ina vertical
position, when It fell to one side. Al
ter landing on the s. p. track 1t slid
a distance Of about eighteen yards.
Engineer Taylor succeeded in jumping
in the clear through the window, but
Fireman Coats fell to the floor OF the
cab. The engine was practically de-
molished and Coats was completely
covered, but he finally crawled out
Of small hole with hardly scratch
on his person. Engineer Taylor re-
ceived slight cuts in the face from the
glass window, but was otherwise un-
injured and within few minutes he
relieved one of the other engineers
who had been on duty many hours.
