Politically 1901 was a stirring year; and when the shouting was over and the baliots eounted it appeared that Washington electors had voted rather illogically. While they had given Roosevelt an amazing plurality of more than 70,000 votes, they had, in convention or at the polls, defeated the very leaders within the state who had stood most conspicuously and unfalteringly for the Roosevelt policies. In state convention the republicans had cast out Governor MeBride, and rejected his railroad commission poliey. At the polls the voters defeated George Turner for governor and ratified the action of the railroad controlled convention of the republican party. Eastern Washington, however, voted consistently, giving Turner a large majority, but the Spokane candidate went down under a larger adverse majority, which the West Side rolled over the erest of the Caseade mountains.
Throughout eastern Washington sentiment developed strong for Governor McBride. In March a Roosevelt-MeBride elub was organized with 558 members, and quickly expanded to more than 1.000. Similar clubs were formed all over eastern Washington. McBride easily carried Spokane county at the primaries, and the county convention sent to the state convention a strong and enthusiastic delegation. At Tacoma the state convention rejected a commission plank, 373 to 277. and nominated for governor Albert E. Mead of Whateom, and for congress renominated Jones, Cushman and Humphrey.
The democratic state convention, meeting at Bellingham, named George Turner for governor, and demanded "a regulative, non-political railroad commission, to be appointed by the governor, with power to adjust and regulate freight and passen- ger rates."
While his party's platform was silent on the commission question, Mead promptly announced that if the legislature should pass a commission law he would approve it. a pledge which he subsequently fulfilled. Turner went to the summit of the Cascades with nearly 6.000 majority, but Mead met him there with 23,000. Roosevelt carried Spokane county by 7,683 plurality, and Turner by 2,977. On the congressional ticket the county was republican by nearly 5,000. Stephen Jud-

son for lieutenant-governor on the democratic ticket, and George Mudgett, demo- cratic nominee for state treasurer, carried the county respectively by 921 and 1,878. The republicans easily elected their county and legislative tickets.
Republican campaign expenses in Spokane county had been largely borne by Charles Sweeny, and soon after the election, at a meeting attended by twelve of the thirteen members of the legislative delegation, he was advanced as Spokane's candidate for United States senator. Present were State Senators Walker Henry and Dr. C. G. Brown, and Representatives Daniel Hoch, Jesse Huxtable, W. D. Scott, D. P. Bowers, George T. Crane. N. E. Linsley, Joseph B. Lindsley, Dr. G. T. Doolittle, J. A. Fancher and C. T. Rateliffe. A. B. Campbell announced that he would be a candidate against Sweeny, but later reconsidered his decision. Other senatorial candidates were Samuel H. Piles, John L. Wilson and Jacob Furth of Seattle, and Senator Addison G. Foster of Tacoma. The developments of this contest will be reviewed in another chapter.
After long infirmities. Colonel Patrick Henry Winston died at his home in Spokane, Sunday, April 3. 1901. A native of North Carolina, he came to the west in 1881, appointed by President Arthur to be register of the land office at Lewiston, Idaho. He later removed with his family to Spokane, bought an inter- est in the Daily Review and edited that journal for about two years. After the state's admission in 1889 he was appointed United States district attorney. Be- coming a populist, he was elected attorney-general in 1896. Ile started Winston's Weekly in 1903, and was editing that paper at the time of his death. He had wit and eloquence in high degree, a well trained legal mind, and a vigorous, independ- ent and captivating personality. Whether in high political council or in curb- stone causerie, Colonel Winston could always be relied upon to add gaiety to the occasion.
One incident will illustrate his aptness for political repartec. While campaign- ing the state in 1891 for the republican party he was addressing a large audience down in the Palouse country. It was a night meeting and the mellow light of a large oil lamp, reflected from a tin background just above his head. imparted a peculiar beaming appearance to his utterly bald head. Out in the audience arose a tall figure, hewhiskered to the waist, to demand the privilege of asking a ques- tion of the speaker. "Colonel Winston," it said. "I should like to know why, if. as you say, there are no inequalities under the law. you account for the unequal distribution of wealth?"
"I will answer that question with pleasure," said Mr. Winston. "after the gen- Hleman has first answered a little question that I am going to propound." Inclin- ing his shining poll to the amused andience. he asked: "How do you explain Na- ture's unequal distribution of hair?"
Death claimed this year three other well known pioneers. B. C. Van Houten died at Seattle in January. He was for several years a towering figure in the political and financial world. He came to Cheney in 1881, and to Spokane in 1881. He organized the Citizens' National bank and became its president ; was elected to the state senate, and after his fortune was swept from him by the panic of 1893. became Levi Ankeny's political manager in the Walla Wallan's senatorial campaign.
Francis Asbury Pugh, an Oregon pioneer of 1816. died at his home in Spokane.
525
SPOKANE AND THE INLAND EMPIRE
January 16. He went to California in the gold rush of 1819, and came to Spo- kane county in 1881. He was father of the well known Pugh brothers, long prominent in Spokane county political life.
Rev. S. G. Havermale, who, as presiding elder of the Methodist Episcopal church, preached the first sermon ever delivered before a white audience in Spo- kane, died in a serene old age, January 13.
On the stormy night of January 8, 1904, the steamer Clallam was wrecked in the straits of San Juan de Fuca, near Victoria, and fifty-four persons perished. including every woman and child aboard. Among the victims was Miss Louise Harris of Spokane, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Harris.
CHAPTER LXII
CHARLES SWEENY'S BRIEF TILT AT POLITICS
NO MATCH FOR OLYMPIA POLITICIANS-HE RETALIATES BY ELECTING PILES-INLAND EMPIRE PROFITS-DAGGETT DEFEATS ACUFF FOR MAYOR-LARGE PROJECTS OF W. W. POWER CO .- ACTIVE YEAR IN RAILROAD BUILDING-JUDGE WHITSON OPENS U. S. COURT IN SPOKANE-DEATH OF R. WEIL, "JIM" WARDNER AND COL. W. W. D. TURNER-INDIANS SIGN TREATY WITH THUMB MARKS.
C HIARLES SWEENY could play the game in Wall street, but was no match for the seasoned politicians who made Olympia their rendezvous. They played him fast and loose; but onee his eyes were open he retaliated hard. The first joint ballot in January, 1905, put Foster in the lead with forty-four votes; Piles had thirty-three, Sweeny twenty-seven, Wilson fifteen, Cosgrove five and Jones fonr. The democratic corporal's guard of seven legislators voted for Turner. Here were two wealthy men in the running-Sweeny of Spokane and Foster of Tacoma-Sweeny bold. bluff and open-handed; Foster cautious, eanny and thrifty ; and a number of politicians, eager to get forward in a financial way, thought they had discovered an easy scheme of playing one against the other. Sweeny considered their demands outrageous, and deelared that he would be re- venged. He would not, he said, pay their price. nor would he allow another to pay it. He would elect a poor man to the senate, "so poor that he had a mortgage on his home;" and he moved his support to Piles and made him the caucus choice. This combination the legislature ratified next day, when Piles received 125 votes, Foster two, Turner six. But Piles had to pay a priee; and it took the form of a signed agreement binding him to do certain stipulated things for eastern Wash- ington :
First, that he would stand with Roosevelt in enlarging the powers of the inter- state commeree commission (and thereby enable Spokane to make another fight for terminal rates).
Second, that with the help of the King county delegation a railroad commis- sion bill satisfactory to eastern Washington should be passed.
Third, that Piles should support the opening of the Columbia river.
Fourth, that he would work for a federal judicial district in eastern Washing- ton. with headquarters at Spokane.
Fifth, that Spokane should speedily be made a sub-port of entry.
In fulfillment of this agreement, the legislature enacted the commission law, almost without opposition, even the senate, which for nearly twenty years had been

the bulwark of the railroad forces, passing the bill. thirty-six to four. Governor Mead signed the measure, and later appointed as commissioners H. A. Fairchild of Bellingham, John S. MeMillin of San Juan county, and I. C. Lawrence of Garfield. Whitman county.
At the municipal election in May. 1905. the democrats elected Floyd L. Dag- gett mayor by 316 plurality over W. II. Acuff, republican. H. L. Lilienthal, in- dependent, polled 1,512 votes, and C. A. Bungay. socialist, 557. Daggett carried the First, Second and Fourth wards, Acuff the Third and Fifth. For comptroller Robert Fairley had 512 plurality. and for treasurer, MI. II. Eggleston 1.563. The democrats elected six councilmen-Leonard Funk. L. C. Brown, Fred. Baldwin, John Gray, N. J. Laumer and N. S. Pratt : and the republicans four-W. G. Estep. H. G. Stimmel, W. T. Horr and J. S. Phillips.
City and country ran lustily forward with fine growth. Spokane had a popula- tion in March, according to the directory estimate, which included Hillyard and platted additions outside the city limits, of 73, 852. The state statistical department estimated Washington's population this year at 871.310. Spokane it credited with 70,000, as against 36.818 in 1900. and 19,922 in 1890.
President Henry M. Richards returned from New York in February, to an- nounce that the Washington Water Power company had provided $3.500,000 for extensions and improvements within the next three years. of which $1.100.000 was immediately available for 1905. With this fund the company completed its line to Medical Lake, built the large dam and power house at Post Falls, and car- ried electric power into the Palouse country.
Mr. Corbin pushed construction of the Spokane International. He had entered into a fifty-year traffic agreement with the Canadian Pacific, under terms which rendered it impossible that the Spokane International should ever pass to other control than the Canadian Pacific. Mr. Corbin announced in March that the bond issue of $1.000.000 was all sold: $3,000,000 had been taken by six men in equal amounts.
In April the Spokane & Inland. the Coeur d'Alene & Spokane Railway com- pany and the Spokane Traction company (afterwards merged into the Inland Empire system) signed a ten-year contract with the Washington Water Power company for electric power, and decided to defer development of their own power at Nine Mile bridge, below the city. Construction was hastened this year on the line into the Palouse country.
It had now become apparent that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul was in carnest with its Pacific Coast extension. In April it began acquisition of exten- sive terminals on the tide lands at Seattle.
The Weyerhaeuser interests in May let a contract for a railroad from the town of Palouse to pierce its white pine timber belt on the Palouse river, and decided to double the capacity of its mill at Palouse.
Robert E. Strahorn organized in September his mysterious North Coast rail- way, and announced that his company would build a system of steam railways in the Yakima valley.
Judge Edward Whitson of North Yakima, who had been appointed judge of the new federal court for eastern Washington, came to Spokane in March and organ- ized his court.
529
SPOKANE AND THE INLAND EMPIRE
Among the well known Spokane men who died in 1905 was R. Weil, in San Francisco in May. He came to Spokane in 1889, and from a small beginning built up the Palace store until it took rank with the great department stores of the Pacific northwest.
James F. Wardner, for whom the town of Wardner in the Coeur d'Alenes was named, died in March at El Paso, Texas. Wardner was a true soldier of fortune. whose cheerful optimism was known in every mining camp the world around. He went into the Coeur d'Alenes in an early day, and promoted the sale of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines by the original owners to S. G. Reed of Portland, Oregon.
Col. W. W. D. Turner died at Los Angeles in April. He was a brother of Judge George Turner, and contributed materially to the making of the Le Roi.
Granby paid a dividend of $105,000 in December.
Charles Sweeny this year disposed of the greater part of his interest in the Federal company. He said in an interview that he had received $2,660,000.
Near the end of 1905 a treaty was negotiated at old Fort Spokane for the opening of the south half of the Colville reservation. The Indians signed the agreement with thumb marks.

S POKANE," wrote Governor Alva Adams of Colorado in Harpers' Weekly, in 1906, "is almost a model eity. Its great river and falls, its beautiful homes, lawns and trees. satisfy the love of seenie beauty. Its churches, schools, art and literary elubs provide the moral and intellectual sides. Its business men are young, enthusiastie and patriotie. Not satisfied to sit and wait for tribute, their capital and enterprise go out into tributary territory, where they plough virgin fields, dig . canals, build railroads. transform the desert. mine gold, silver, eopper and lead in the mountains. They are builders, creators. developers."
A generous, intelligent and accurate deseription this, of the eity by the falls, grown opulent, metropolitan and highly ambitious within the deeade which sepa- rated it from the distress and disaster of panie years. Progressive spirits had taken the measure of their city and its resources, and the knowledge that greater things were in store filled them with enthusiasm and a desire to play well their part in the inspiring work of empire building. The cooperative spirit was mirrored in the chamber of commerce, which had grown from a feeble, apathetie organization of ninety-five members in January. 1903, to a membership in 1901 of 205, in 1905 of 308, and in 1906 of 436. Under the able and enthusiastie leadership of Chair- man G. B. Dennis. the chamber's publieity committee raised in 1906 its first great fund of $10.000 for promotion and publicity work. The Hundred and Fifty Thon- sand elub, organized in 1905. had 2.000 loyal and enthusiastic members by New Year's day, 1906, with F. W. King for president. Ren H. Riee secretary, and W. E. Goodspeed treasurer.
Jay P. Graves and his associates organized in January, 1906, the Inland Em- pire railway company, with $20,000,000 capital stock .- a merger of the Spokane Traetion company, the Spokane & Inland railway, the Coeur d'Alene & Spokane eleetrie road and the Spokane Terminal company.
President A. J. Earling of the Chieago, Milwaukee & St. Paul came in Janu-

ary to spy out the land for that company's Pacific extension, and President F. E. Goodall, J. J. Browne and N. W. Durham, a committee from the chamber of com- merce, called upon him and pointed out the advisability of choosing a route that would put Spokane on the main line.
"I can only say at this time," replied President Earling. "that we are as de- sirons of coming to Spokane as you are to have us come." The company hastened its work of securing right of way neross the state. and let a contract in August for construction between the Bitter Root mountains and the Columbia river.
The Coeur d'Alene and Spokane electric line was extended to Hayden lake. and James J. Ilill decided to build the Spokane, Portland & Seattle down the north bank of the Columbia.
The year 1906 was ill-starred by three peculiarly atrocious and shocking crimes. Morning of August 27 the murdered body of J. F. Sloane, a prominent pioneer of 1886, was found in an alley near his home. Suspicion fell immediately upon his son Sidney. 17 years of age. Under police questioning the youth advanced con- fieting and improbable stories, and later confessed that he had slain his father with an axe, and used a wheelbarrow to remove the mutilated body from the death chamber to the open alley where it was found. The seeming motive was either robbery or rage arising from the father's refusal to meet his demands for money. The trial, which ran for more than forty days, constituted one of the most sensa- tional criminal cases in the history of the town. It opened November 12 and ended December 21, and the work of selecting a jury consumed nine days. A plea of in- sanity was ably advanced and maintained by Attorney F. C. Robertson, and the jury acquieseed in this defense and rendered a verdict of not guilty ; but the court. in accordance with a state law for such cases provided. committed the acquitted boy to the state penitentiary at Walla Walla.
Reno Hutchinson, general secretary of the Young Men's Christian association. was mysteriously murdered at the corner of Seventh avenue and Howard street, at 8 o'clock on the evening of October 15. A bullet from the assassin's revolver pene- trated the victim's body, and falling, the dying man plunged upon the lawn at the residence of Postmaster M. T. Hartson. The murderer was seen to flee across the lawn and quickly vanish under cover of the darkness of an autumn evening. Whether the deed of a highwayman or an embittered enemy, was the mystery of the hour, and a mystery has ever since remained.
Ex-Governor Frank Stenneuberg of Idaho, opening the gate at his residence in Caldwell, that state, exploded a terrifie charge of dynamite which had been set with running fiendishness to encompass his death. Suspicion was instantly directed against Harry Orchard, who, under an assumed name, had taken a room in a Caldwell hotel. had been observed spying around the Steunenberg home, and asked questions about the business hours and habits of the ex-governor. Governor Steun- enberg had vigorously enforced the laws at the time of the miners' riots in the Coeur d'Alenes, and as Orchard had been closely associated with the Western Fed- eration of Miners, suspicion fell upon that powerful organization. An amazing confession by Orchard implicated President Moyer, Heywood and Pettibone, not only in this crime, but in a long series of similar ontrages, and they were arrested in their eastern homes and spirited away to Idaho before their friends could fight their extradition in the courts. The legality of their arrest was contested in the

highest courts, but the supreme court of the United States refused to interfere. Their trial at Boise City excited national interest. but the jury, after a fair and thorough trial, refused to conviet the defendants on the sole testimony of a wit- ness who stood confessedly the most monstrous criminal of the age.
A vigorous effort by the Law Enforcement League of Spokane, to have Mayor Daggett impeached for failure to enforce the Sunday elosing law was carried be- fore the council. That body, by a vote of six to four, refused to proceed with im- peachment proceedings-Funk, Baldwin, Gray, Baines. Snyder and Koontz sup- porting the mayor, and Estep. Horr, Pratt and Phillips voting to put the mayor on trial.
In state convention at Seattle, September 19, the republican party renominated Congressmen F. W. Cushman. W. E. Humphrey and Wesley L. Jones. One weck later, in their state convention, also at Seattle, the democrats named against them Dr. P. S. Byrne of Spokane. Dudley Eshelman of Pierce county, and Win. Black- man of King. For justice of the supreme court they advanced Warren W. Tomman of Spokane.
The republicans easily carried the state. Spokane county gave their congres- sional candidates 2.500 plurality, and elected nearly all of the nominees on the re- publican legislative and county tickets.
Death claimed a noted pioneer in the person of ex-Governor George E. Cole, who died in Portland. December 3, while en route to California for his health. Governor Cole came to Oregon in an early day, and to Walla Walla in 1861. He joined the rush to the Clearwater gold eamps, with a paek train and stoek of mer- chandise from Walla Walla. He was in business in Lewiston in 1862. but returned to Walla Walla in 1863, and soon thereafter was elected to congress. He was ap- pointed governor of Washington in 1866. and when his term of office expired re- turned to Portland and became closely associated with Ben Holladay, the famous pioneer builder of railroads in Oregon. At the time of his death he had been a resident of Spokane for several years.
D. K. Oliver, a pioneer of 1878. died January 28.
The Western Union Life Insurance company, a loeal enterprise which has since enjoyed vigorous growth, was incorporated October 31. 1906, and began business November 23. R. Lewis Rutter was its first president; A. F. MacFarland, vice- president and manager : Philip Harding, sceretary ; T. H. Brewer, treasurer ; C. P. Thomas, medieal director. Directors: L. M. Davenport. R. B. Paterson. Alfred Cool- idge, Henry M. Richards, Thomas George Thomson, J. P. McGoldrick, C. P. Thomas. T. H. Brewer, F. B. Grinnell. and A. F. MacFarland. The last official state- ment of insurance in foree shows remarkable growth: 1906. $102,500: 1907. $3,716 .- 000: 1908. $7.110.220: 1909. $7,995.270; 1910. $9.501.625: October 1, 1911, $10,789,268. The company's admitted assets increased from $85,528 in 1906 to $764,768 on October 1, 1911.
The Hazelwood irrigation project was started this year. With water conveyed from Silver lake. near Medical lake. it has brought under intensive cultivation a large area of rich soil lying on the plateau immediately west of Spokane.
The death of George H. Leonard, late in December at the county poor farm at Spangle, dropped the curtain on a tragie life drama of vivid contrasts and startling vicissitudes. Leonard, in the '80s. was a millionaire grain operator on the Chicago

board of trade, a partner of "Old Hutch," and mayor of the Chicago suburb of Hyde Park. At times he and Hutchinson were absolute masters of the wheat market. His fortune swept away in an unsuccessful "corner," Leonard came to Spokane in 1886 and engaged in the real-estate business with Herbert Bolster as partner. Fortune favored him again, and he amassed a fortune estimated at $200,000, but the panic of 1893 dissipated his wealth, and he never rallied from the second blow. His wife and children scattered to the four winds, he sank under adversity's blows, and in his declining years found a cahn refuge at the county farm.

E ARLY in 1907 West Side enemies of the State College at Pullman opened a vigorous attack upon that institution, with the obvious object of erippling it by withholding adequate appropriations. To refute their misrepresenta- tions and put facts before the people of Washington, the chamber of commerce ap- pointed a committee comprising W. D. Vincent, David Brown, Samuel Glasgow, D. T. Ham, Jay P. Graves, A. I .. White and N. W. Durham, which sent to Pull- man a sub-committee consisting of Messrs. Vineent, Brown and Durham. Their report, laid before the chamber of commerce in February, was enthusiastically adopted and a copy sent to every commercial organization in Washington. "Your committee," said the report in part, "was particularly impressed by the appearance of industry which characterizes this college. The success with which this institu- tion has been applied to the basic industries and resources of Washington is marve- lous. Everywhere around the college-upon the grounds and in the buildings, carnest, young men and women were at work. We saw students in large groups, sur- veying in the field, at work in the iron foundry, in the machine shops, in the great hall of manual training, in practical work in veterinary science, in dairying and the care of live stock, and in mining. The presence of such an institution is of incal- culable benefit to the varied industries of all sections of the state." Other organi- zations took up the cause, and opposition to the college was easily routed.
