Kneeland, R, was also elected Wreckmaster, an office on the ticket on those days which never had function or pay. It will be noted that the parties were quite evenly divided and the Re- ,publicans won about half their ticket. Women Gain Vote An interesting sidelight on that 1884 campaign, Mr. Brumbaugh 'recalls, was the first election in which the women gained their vote, lost eight years later in a Supreme Court decision but again won in about 1900. It will be noted that M. C. Simmons, well known as “Doc,” son of the orig— >inal Micheal Simmons, was run- ning for County Commissioner against John B. Forbes, both be- ing Kamilche farmers, but Mrs. Simmons, who was a Waldrip and a Republican, refused to vote for, her husband, who won out by thirteen votes. Mr. Brumbaugh taught a three- months’ term of school in the Ode-loom school in Shelton in the fall of 1884, and so far as recalled , IAllie Saeger, still living in Shel- ton, was one of his pupils. The district had $90 and this was the' Eistent of the school term in those days. Next spring he taught- three months for $90, at the Webb school. In 1888 he ran and was lelected as county superintendent, serving until the territory became Washington State, in 1889, and was reelected in 1890 and 1892, serving until 1894, He was mar- ried in 1887 to Emma Cummings, whose family also came in 1883, and they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary three years ago with their five living chil- dren. l Ancient Newspaper Mr. Brumbaugh has preserved a copy of the Puget Sound Ar—‘ gus, of which Allen Weir, the territorial secretary, was editor, after the election in 1884 of thel HamarReceives County Youths I officers of the 33 counties thenl existing in the territory. The to-l tal vote of that year was 41,-} 482, divided 23,409 Republican andi 16,707 Democratic. The totall gain in vote from that of 1863‘, of 5,373, being 36,469, showing, how the territory had grown in; population in that period. Mason' County's vote in 1882 was 164, and in 1884 was 296, and its total as— sessed valuation in 1884 was $546,648, or about one-tenth of that today; then much of the‘ lands were government owned and: not assessed for taxation. 3 Groups To Sew For Red . l Cross War Relief Work, Red Cross war relief project 'scwing will be conducted Tuesday! by the Methodist women and [Rainbow Mothers, Wednesday by: the Degree of Honor and Baptist women, and on Thursday by the; iRebekahs, reports Mrs. Herbert; lVIiller, project chairman. l l RECOVERIN G NICELY .

Close watch— ers whispered Brandy’s fingers were crossed as he related his talc, but that cannot be put down as a. definitely established fact. (Neither can Jack’s yarn, but let’s get on with it, anyway). Jack and a big party of sports- ,men from Hoodsport and the lgeneral vicinity were given the Stiff assignment of providing veni— son for the Sportsmens October meeting. There was only one day of the seas-on left to get it. 1 Put on the stand while others of the party beat the brush, Bran- idy got sleepy, leaned his gun {against a small sapling, and dozed ioff, he said. He was awakened: by a shot, and before his rltartlcd,‘ eyes he found a deer, neatly shot through the head, Obliging Fellow , “The only thing I can figurel out is that deer came running along the trail, brushed against the sapling, discharged my rifle and shot itself," Brandy concluded as he ducked back into his seat.

Voters .Shoil—ld Mark Those who may be inclined to vote a straight partisan ticket by crossing the circle at the head of either ticket should bear in mind that they are not voting on any- thing else, for instance the six questions at the head of the bal-l lot, the judges and non-partisan school superintendent at the bot-' tom. The safest way is to crest: the circle if it is desired to indi- cate the politics of the voter and also cross every question or name desired. The circle cross indi- cates only that if any name is not crossed in either party ticket the circle then covers the vacancy.
