One COW sold for $500: young bun

half . dozen at q time. at Ss7 a

were not weancd brought $50 each.
II was an event when a cow

for e2o0--good dairy cows. but
nothing phenomenal.
Four years ago I could get as

Unless the signs of the times deceive me
Claude G. Ramsay is going to get more
votes in King county than the presidential
candidate. Wherever you 60 it's the one
story, ct am going to vote for Ramsay.
Oh, yes,' the same voter will continue,
81 am going to vote the Republican ticket
more or less straight, but do like the way
that man Ramsey goes after things.' In
my opinion Mr.. Ramsay is the most popular
politician in the county and he will score
a victory in the general election that will
place him at the head of the eligible list
in case he ever desires to go a step further
in the political game. I have been know
ing Claude Ramsay for thirty years and
so far as I know he has always done unto
others as he would have others do to him,
which is one of the finest traits in the
human character, and not only myself, but
the general public recognizes that splendid
qualification in him and I feel absolutely
safe in predicting that he will lead on
the Republican ticket at the coming cleo
ton. The voters Of King county would do
themselves proud if on November End next
they would forget party politics and prac-
tically unanimously elect Claude G. Ram
say to succeed himself as county commas
sioner.

THE PASSING THRONG

Not long since | read in Seattle daily
paper detailed account Of the good work
Charlie Frye Seattle S packing house king
was doing for the public in the way of per-
fecting pulmonary institute at Riverton,
an immediate Seattle suburb, and while |
did not exactly drop dead at the news,
nevertheless | was badly thunder struck
using figure of speech, that | did the
very next thing to it. I have known G. H.
Frye for many years and for number of
years | knew him well enough to stop and
talk to him on the streets and to frequently
call at his office and discuss politics with
him, yea even well enough to almost an
nually be the recipient of a Thanksgiving
bird at his hands. Then suddenly Charlie
Frye became immensely rich and immedi-
ately his previous limited friendliness came
to an end and for years he has not so much
as spoken to me we pass by, none of
which am | complaining Of, but to bring
out the fact, circumstances in persons lives
frequently alter cases. AS | have almost
daily seen this mighty rich man who once
passingly and politically knew me, l have
said to myself, vast sums of money frequently
bring about great changes in human beings.
For the past ten years | had every reason
to believe he had been grabbing the money.
and | had heard of him in no other capacity
save getting the money, and when he would
pass me and in a similar way passed others
he had formerly known without so much as
glancing at me in any way recognizing
me, I reached the conclusion that, Mr.. c..
II. Fry, the big meat packer, had developed
into money mad crouch and had no interest
whatever in his fellowman, and | kissed my
limited acquaintanceship with him long
farewell. But it has been said, one half Of
the world never knows what the other half is
doing, and all the time that | was thinking
Mr.. Fry had lost interest in his felowman,
save and except to make money out of him
for selfish greed, he was spending hundreds
and thousands of dollars making his fellow
man. who was sick and sore, comfortable
and happy. 1t thus transpires that all of us
have our own peculiar way to demonstrate
the fact that, CT am my brothers. keeper"
Charles apparent street Indifference may
not have been any desire to overlook any
one but the results of an overtaxed mind,
for certain it is he had often thought kindly
of his fellowman and had freely spent his
money to relieve his sufferings. Being of
a different turn of mind [ would prefer to
give more smiles and fewer dollars and
thereby scatter greater amount of the
seeds Of human kindness and the WHOLE
best with a smile, as [ pass by

Claude Ramsay and Tom Dobson have

kept distant country farms, that have fine
homes and beautiful barns, have all been
done by Tom and Claude without breath
