Robertson, a master black- smith and farrier in Spokane, who has put shoes on all kinds of horses, from Indian cayuse to trained racer and accumulated a fortune from his work in the last 11 years, expects to retire the-end of the year, though, he says, he is unable to find any physical reason for quitting his work, He is 50 years of age and rides in a high power automobile to his shop, where he labors nine hours a day at his trade. He has received an offer of $25,000 for his business, which cost him $1,800" when he came to Spokane in 1898. Robertson is a na- tive of Canada, born in Ontario in 1860. He owns an orchard near Spokane, and if he retires as a smithy he expects to devote the rest of his years to horticulture. He has made a study of pear grow- ing. Robertson has five men in his employ, and to prove that owning an automobile does not unfit a man for hard work he does nine hours six days a week at the forge. His shop is equipped with electrically driven hammers and shoe-fitting machines and labor-saving devices and is modern in every respect. HEARST. For the benefit of those who are subscribers to the New York American we reproduce the follow- ing headlines from an issue of that distinguished journal bearing date of Oct. 10. You will remember that this is the great modern newspaper which is given credit for having fired the brain of Gallagher, the man who shot down Mayor Gaynor. Here are the headlines: CYCLONE OF FIREIN MINNE.- SOTA; 300 DEAD, 5,000 HOMELESS. Beaudette, Spooner, Pitt and Grace- ton Have Been Wiped Off the Map. WHOLE COUNTRY IN FLAMES Wagonloads of Dead Brought Into the Stations—Many Destitute and Hungry. While it seems pretty hard to be required to add such things to the msfortunes this county has suffered during the past week, there is a crum’ of consolation in the knowledge that no part of the country is immune. The Hearst lightning, generally speakin plays no favorites. Next time it may have the mayor of Minne- apolis eleping with Sarah Bern- hart or a cyclone may blow the state of Texas into the Dominion of Canada, leavingthetaskof bring- ing in the ‘“‘wagon loads of dead” to a strange people to be spouted out of some extinct volcano. As for the injustice done Bel- trami county and northern Minne- sota, the New York sheet of shame suffers no pang of remorse, finding sweet comfort in the braying of itsmaster, William Randolph Hearst, who pleads so loudly for political purity. GOOD DOCTRINE. The following from Congressman Gillett’s recent speech at his renom- ination has the true ring: *“Until the discord and dissension which was developed in our national party is overcome we are in poor position for successful combat. I trust, however, that the clashing fac- tions will find common ground on which we can heartily unite; that the capacity on which we have always prided ourselves, of sinking minor and personal differences and acting harmoniously together, will again be demonstrated and that we shall leave to our opponents their customary perogative of internal disagreement and antagonism. This may pot be accomplished at once, but I do not believe the characteristics of the two parties have suddenly changed, and 1 believe it will not be long before all Republicans will again be found work- |- ing enthusiastically together and the Democrats as usual bickering. and differing among themselves. i “Certainly Republicans “have a glorious rallying point in our. Presi- dent. - He has had a most arduous and trying experience. - Here wasa man who'had never held an; electric office and to wnom the bench, with its calm realm of pure reason, was the most congenial home, suddently swollen with the pride of long con- tinued success, already divided by factions struggling bitterly for con- trol and just meeting that most dangerous and disturbing of all crigises,a tariff revision,and burdened with pledges for other far-reaching legislation. Many of those whose co- operation was necessary for redeem- ing these pledges were radically op- posed to such action. Many more while agreeing in the result differed widely in methods. It was for him to be always the central guiding power to keep the j_arring party ma- chine moving, seldom smoothly but always forward. And a record of executive action and legislative re- demption of party pledges has already been established which may well excite ethusiasm. “Through it all he was blamed and criticised for what he did and what he left undone, for legislation which he endeavored to prevent as well as for what he approved, for the short- comings of his subordinates, and of his insubordinates, for the dissens- lized the struggle for power of jeal- ous leaders, and through it all he has been patient, unselfish. vigilant. yielding with good temper when he could not prevail, but holding with firm and determined grasp to the vital issues, never losing the sense of proportion and the sense of import- ance, indulgent in minor matters but inflexible and masterful in great ones, always open to argument, endeavor- ing by his own reasonableness to arouse the same quality in others, never exploiting himself, angry only at meanness and injustice, seeking ever by direct and honest methods to accomplish things and caring little that he should win the credit. “He has aimed at achievement and not at popularity, looks for results and not for applause and has that true greatness which is willing to take up with conscien. tious devotion each duty as it comes, give to it his utmost en- deavor and then trust his fame to the ultimate judgment of the peo- ple and the calm decree of history. “I believe he has shown those qualities of head and heart that prove him an ideal Chief Magis- trate, that the longer and better he is known the more he will be admired and trusted, and in this era of dissention and uncertainty all Republicans can proudly unite in following the wise and sate statesmanship of William - H. Taft.” Your cough annoys you. Keep on hacking and tearing the delicate membranes of your throat if you want to be annoyed. But if you want relief, want to be cured, take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.

Pittsburg, Oct. 15.—The Irwin strike in the Central Pennsylvania coal fields, involving 11,000 miners, is like- ly to develop a sensation. It is as- serted that the operators, most of whom are members of the big Du- quesne club of Pittsburg, have been in the habit of entertaining members of the state constabulary with wine, ete., at the club. It is published here that several members of the constabulary sent to guard matters in the Irwin strike zone have been entertained toc lavishly in Pittsburg and there are tales of orgles. Officials of the United Mine Work- ers have been busy and have prepared data tending to show that the con stables have permitted themselves td be Ebiased. May Result in Strike.

Corpses Being Washed Ashore at Numerous Places. London, Oct. 15.—The English and Irish coasts are lined with wrecks and grave fears are felt that the hurri- cane, which is hourly increasing in violence, will claim the largest death toll of recent gales. Already more than 150 persons are reported to have perished. Many big vessels have either foundered or been driven ashore, while numberless fish- ing smacks are missing and believed to have sunk. Corpses are being washed ashore at numerous places. Sixteen passengers and sailors are known to have per. ished {n the foundering of the steam- er Heathfleld, which went down in the North sea, while twenty may have died on the steamer Cramford, missing off Hartlepool and believed to have sunk. Many small groups of three and four fishing boats are reported missing from ports along the coast and it is almost sure they have been lost, for eyen large steamers had great diffi- culty in remaining afloat in the high seas that are running. Telegraph reports from ships along the coast state that their crews have been compelled to take to the rigging, because of the seas that are washing over their decks: - Grave fears are entertained for the safety of the im- periled mariners, as the seas are run- ning so high the lifesavers have been unable to launch their boats. The gale is increasing in fury and warnings have been sent to all ports that it is unsafe to venture out. The pleasant purgative effect ex- perienced by all who use Chamber lain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets, and the healthy condition of the body and mind which they create, makes one feel joyful.
