However, political observers, it is said, re- gard Judge Kenneth Mackintosh a decided favorite for the Republi- can nomination for United States Senator over former Senator Mil:s Poindexter and Judge Austin E. Griffiths, while Senator C. C. Dill is expected to have a little oppo- sition on the Democratic slate from James Longstreet for the Demo- cratic Senatorial nomination.

Connor.of Seattle, are picked from a large field to be the leading candidates for the Republican nomination for Lieutenant-Governor, The hottest race for Congress, is that in the Third District be- tween Congressman Albert John- son and Homer T. Bone, Tacoma lawyer, for the Republican nomi- nation. Most reports favor John. son slightly. Congressman John F. Miller is apparently leading George Lamping for the Republican nomination in the First District. Congressman L. H. Hadley and John W. Summers in the Third and Fourth District Republican primaries are conceded victories. In the Fifth District Thomas Cork- ery of Spokane, is reported to be leading Charles Myers of Daven- port, for the Republican nomina- tion. The winner will run against Congressman Sam B. Hill, Demo- crat, Hartley Threatening Legislature While the attempt of Gov. Hart. ely to nominate a straight Republi-| can ticket of his supporters for| all State offices is doomed to fail- ure, politicians think, they are agreed that pro-Hartley legislative aspirants are threatening some of the old leaders in both the State Senate and House of Representa- tives. — e MONEY FOR BLIND BOY Dawson people are raising a sum of money to send 8-year-old Charlie Rivers, one of four small children, one of whom is a baby in arms, of a Dawson working man, to the Outside to have his eyes treated.

These figures, the judges point- ed out during the Trinity term of court ,depended upon the circum- stances of the loss of the wives and their values in the home. Several husbands were awarded only one farthing, about half a cent, for the loss of their wives. A petty officer in the royal navy got the highest price for his wife. He was awarded $2,600. The sail- or's story was that he was happy with his wife' from fhe time of his wedding in 1917 until 1926, when he was ordered to the China sta. tion. When he came back he found that things had changed. A man connected with a London ai. tomobile firm had to pay the dam- ages. On the other hand a wife who eloped had left two young children behind brought only $750 in dam- ages to the aggrieved husband. One action had Canadian lum- ber camp setting. The husband and wifé, living in a British Colum- bia lumber camp, met a bachelor. By and by the wife and the fam- ily's mutual friend returned to England. The husband followed, brought suit for damages and was awarded $250 for the loss of his unfaithful wife.
