WILL RAISE RANCE RATES

Following the announcement of the
city council. while arranging for the
budget for the ensuing year, that the
police force and fire department
would have 70 stand their trimming of
expenses in line with other branches
OF the city's administration, the in
surance trust has declared that any
pairing in these two departments would
result in higher insurance rate. The
head Of the Washington Surveying and
Rating Bureau, at Seattle, stated in a
letter addressed to the city council,
that Aberdeen has not been consider
ed good risk for the last several
years, and would be looked upon with
less favor in the future If any reduc-
ton is made in the efficiency of the
fire department.

Water Birds.

Water birds. singular as 1t seems,
are the only ones whose skins never
by any chance get touched by water.
So long as they are alive and long
after they are dead they float with an
air chamber all round their bodies,
cunningly contrived Of waterproof
feathers closely overlapping each 9th
er. Thus, in a sense. water birds may
be distinguished from all others by
the fact that they never wash. though
we can hardly blame them for that
because II water could penetrate be-
tween their feathers the poor things
would never be dry

POLL LISTS SHY
ALL OVER COUNTY

When the registration books closed
in Aberdeen. they contained 3,761
names. or 291 less than the number
registered for the 1914 primaries. The
last day of registration brought out
1872. the large number being due to
general canvas of the delinquents. 1t
is estimated that the total registra-
ton of the county will reach 1000,
OF which approximately 1000 are in
Aberdeen. Cosmopolis and Hoquiam.
This number. however. is consider
ably under that of four years ago,
which is due to the new registration
laws and other causes.

is SEATTLE RESPONSIBLE?

SEATTLE. Claims totaling
$175,000 have been filed against the
city of Seattle by residents of Everett
as the result of the invasion of
Everett by Industrial Workers of the
World on steamboat November 5
when two citizens of Everett and five
industrial workers were killed in a
pistol battle at the Everett wharf.
The claimants are Mrs. Grace R.
Curtis, whose husband, Lieutenant
Charles o. Curtis, of the reserve
corps of the national guard of Wash
ington, was killed in the fighting;
the heirs of Jefferson Beard, chief
deputy sheriff of Snohomish county,
who was also slain in the battle; Ell
mer Bueherer and H. B. Blackburn,
members of the sheriff's posse, who
were wounded in resisting the land
ing of the Industrial workers on the
Everett wharf. Curtis and Beard
were likewise members of the
sheriff's posse.
Mrs. Curtis asks $75,O0O; the
heirs of Deputy Sheriff Beard $780,
900 and Buehrer and Blackburn
$4,000 each. The claims are based
on the allegation that the Seattle
authorities are to blame for having
permitted the industrial workers to
leave here with the avowed intention
of breaking the city ordinances of
Everett in the matter of street speak
ing.

HUNDREDS SEEK JOBS OF STATE

Every Democrat in Boise who ever
has been in any way identified with
party councils is being besieged by
loyal workers for the rewards that
each individual believes byright be-
long to him for labors performed.
These applications are not confined
to any one section. They are from
every county in the state, and some
applicants cannot even wait to write,
but send kilograms naming specifical-
ly the position they desire, and set
ting forth their special qualifications.
There Is no need of any misgivings
about having enough timber to fill all
the places several times over, and
then some, if the reports of those who
it is supposed will have some say In
the distribution of party patronage
are accepted. Much of the joy of VIC
tory has been turned to real anxiety
as to what would be the effect on the
party organization in the future If all
of those who must be disappointed
should revolt.
One prominent Democratic attor-
ney of Boise said: II begin to realize
now where all the Democratic votes
came from in Ada county. They have
all been in to see me since election,
think, and they are all willing to
sacrifice their time in the interest of
the state. l never realized before how
immensely popular was, nor how i'm
portant. The other day l had occa-
sion to go over to Twin Falls on law
business, and hardly had time to
get into court, there were SO many
worthy Democrats insisting that they
be given an opportunity to serve their
state. J
Il know positively that there are
some Republicans who are willing to
serve under Democratic administra-
tion. One old fellow came to me
whom l knew, and told him l had
always supposed he was a Republi-
can. He said he always had been,
but the Republican party was getting
so rotten he had about decided he
couldn't stand it any longer. When
| asked him If he didn't vote the Re-
publican ticket this fall, he admitted
he did vote part of it, SO I told him
was afraid he would scarcely
qualify"

GOOD WINDOWS FULL
OF CHRISTMAS

Undoubtedly the best way to sci
an article is to place it in the hands
of the prospective buyer. 1t is hu.
man to cling fast to what the hands
once grasp. 1t is easier to deny the
child pound of candy than to take
away one piece after he gets posses.
sion.
The next best way to make the
mouth water and the dollars burn
to be spent is to feast the eyes of
him that hath the hunger and the
collars. This is the reason for win
dow displays. Window shopping in
a city is next thing to handling goods
on the counter, which is next to buy
ing them.
Some Of the windows in Blackfoot
are worth shopping. They are tasty
and suggestive. Brown-Hart has one
of those triumphs in assortment, on
the women's side this week. There
are dresses standing up trinity on
models, there are luxurious yards of
cloths that cry to be made up into
shirts, waists, aprons. skirts, hand
kerchiefs-and what not. There are
gift articles galore along the edge,
lying upon soft plush backing.
There are winter flowers, made in
America, and a sign bearing the best
of timely advice: Shop early.
Hayes Gift shop has two nifty
windows; one in stationery, and one
in black and white. BLACK and
white" means sort of ware used to
put eatables in, casseroles and such.
Some very fine black and white
Japan ware, good to look at, even If
on has no food, occupies the other
half of the window. The whole Is
laid upon we'll chosen cloth draping.
The stationery is mighty attractive
to those who have letter writing
friends. A good box of stationery
is young brother to a good book as
a gift.
Bybee's grocery deserves a good
word for making the best of a veget-
able and fruit display, for they al
ways have out a neat, appetizing
window full of table treats. There
big grape fruits suggest a perfect
breakfast, apples in straight, rows
bring thoughts Of a crate fire and
a pleasant evening, celery in its
freshness draws the housewife, for
what dinner can commence without
celery? Those neat windows mean
trade for Bybee.
The Golden Rule and Racket
stores vie with each other, just across
the street, to show all the necessities
Of life, clothing on one side and the
little handy things on the other. The
Racket this week has candy, pictures,
baskets and kitchen ware. The
Golden Rule windows are a sort Of
open book of what's inside.
Christ has a window of silver.
Gifts suitable to pass between the
between tasteful bachelors
and the married friends who feed
them on splendid occasions, between
the deeply betrothed. Christ Is on
The good side of Santa Claus, so far

WHEN A CHRONIC CATALOG

The Rolling Dollar dropped with
a satisfied sigh into the grocer's till.
Glad I'm safely back from that

THAT was risky stroke Of Fate
that led me off to Mossdale. My
wings almost shook off their eagle
feathers in an ague of fear that I
would never get back. Why? Be-
cause Mossdale folks trade with

possible are in the post office cash

his confession. All I know about 1t
is that he laid me on the table beside
a big mail order catalog; and after
he had looked at me and at the cata-
log he wrote letter which he read
to his wife. His letter was about like
this:

Charles w. Gibbs, night clerk al

fellows coming and going about the
office eying him rather closely and
became suspicious and removed the
money from the cash register and
locked it up in the safe.
When they came in again they ask
ed for some stationery and at the
same time one of them presented a
gun and told him to throw up his
hands and open the safe. Before he
could do either one the gunman
struck him over the head and pro-

money that otherwise might have

as compensation for the death of her

was found that all other avenue of
making payments were either block
