Representative W. H.

A boom for him has been launched In his home town of Walla Walla and as Kirkman belongs to a pioneer family that has . extensive interest throughout southeastern Washington, the movement has gained considerable Impetus. The suggestion of bis candidacy Is new to the west side, but he has property interests in Seattle and W. O. Potts, ex-state senator, is a cousin of his, and the combination may fore shadow active work In his behalf here. Faction leadership Recalled. There was once a time when Kirk man was a leader of the republican faction known as the "boxers" and later on he became an ardent Roose velt supporter when that meant a po litical fight. to Nini. Comical is Edward Sedan as Pietro, valet to John Thurston. Haughty, but with a sentimental weakness, is May Wallace as Mrs. Oglesby Van Dare. And charming are the sisters, Sybil Van Dare and Geraldine Van Dare, as played by Maxine Kiff and Peggy Martin. The role of a bachelor, progressing in years but following the spirit of the age, falls to George Natanson. As John Thurston, uncle of Jack Travers, who is engaged to Geraldine Van Dare, George Natanson captivates with his assured gallantry. No less conspicuous is Lee Daly, as Jenkins, confidential secretary, about whom emanates confusion and laughter.

EVANS NAMES ASSISTANT and he intends to try to convert Co man to his way of thinking. It may be that Coman's advance notice is to be interpreted as an intimation, to Hartley that the trip would be wasted. While the east side trip Is being held in abeyance. Colonel Hartley has been spending considerable time in getting over western Washington. From his home in Everett he has kept in touch with party workers through out the state, but he has no inten tion, his supporters say, of opening headquarters and starting in on or ganization before the spring is well advanced. Rarfa Campaign Not Kearleeted. Governor Louis F. Hart said a while ago that he proposed making his administration his campaign platform and did not intend to get into an active fight before July. Therefore his trip to Washington has not caused any of the republican pol iticians to believe that he is neglect ing bis own campaign interests. In fact. Hart and his campaign in Washington in favor of reclamation legislation has served his guberna torial candidacy as well as work at home would have done, although the trip is purely an official visit. West side candidates for the re publican nomination contend that Representative John A. Gellatly of Wcnatchee, who may carry out a plan to enter the gubernatorial con will not hurt them much in the home districts. What he will do the northern tier of east side coun ties is a matter upon which politicians have speculated freely but have not agreed. man Who Served' Overseas With. 148th Field Artillery. Thomas H. Maguire, former cap tain in the 148th field artillery, was appointed deputy district attorney by District Attorney Walter H. Evans yesterday. He will have charge of the complaint department and the handling of cases in the district court. Mr. Maguire was chief clerk in the office of Mr. Evans for three years prior to the war. After his discharge from the service, October 31. 1919, he again took up the study of law, and has since been admitted to the bar in Oregon. In making the new appoint ment, Mr. Evans is keeping his word with another of the officials in his office who left for active service in the war. Arthur A. Murphy, who was captain in the 91st division, is on ex tended leave of absence from the dis trict attorney's office, while on spe- University of Oregon.

EVEN the cost of dying has soared during recent years, as is shown by the discovery of a receipt written on parchment wherein the cost of constructing a coffin, "finding ma terials and letters"'was given as $4.50. But this was 83 years ago and no such bargain can be obtained in these days, according to Edward Holman of Holman and company, who is the owner of the receipt. The receipt was found by Mrs. Iris Lutz, niece of Mr. Holman, in an old building formerly used as a sailors' clubhouse. The parchment is yellow with age, and the penmanship is that which was in vogue in the days of yesteryear. The receipt read as follows: "Mr. Nicholas Spinney, to Joseph Adams, dr. May 23rd, 1837. For making cof fin for Captain Caleb Spinney and finding materials and letters, $4. BO. Keceivcd payment Joseph Adams." CREDIT MEN URGE THRIFT Programme Promoted by Y. 3f. C. A.
