THE EVENING STATESMAN. VOLUME 30. READY FOR RACES Relianceand Shamrock Third. WILL BE 50,000 SPECTATORS The Chances For a British Victory Never Better —Explanation of Yachting Terms. BETTING FAVORS SHAMROCK. Glasgow, Aug. IS. —Since the an oement of Shamrock Third's time .a nee- there has been a distinct ge in betting odds. The odds v six to four on Shamrock. En thusiasm along t he Clyde is growing. BRITISH ARE CONFIDENT. London, Aug. 19.—Englishmen are .at that ShamroclT Third will wm the cup and they are already dis c gging whether the next contest wdll be held off the Isle of Wight or in waters. The handicap in favor of the Shamrock HI. gave great joy although many believe it is not neces sary. The newspapers here are mak ing great preparations, favoring al of yellow journalism. They will the results with colored bombs, ts, flashlights, balloons and vices. The most ingenious is at Cari.-V court, where on a mi cred feet long the races r.-produced in mi nature. ODDS ON RELIANCE IN NEW YORK New York, Aug. 19. —Betting on the yacht races began briskly this morn- Odds were posted of two to one oard. As tl morning advanced there was jj£h on l>oth yachts, whose sails hoisted at ten. The Reliance to sea, the challenger five ntiautea later followed. There wa fl a eig knot breeze and both yachts ierable wind, the Reliance owing to her higher sails. *as the first time the skippers of the two yachts had a chance to each aii ay Hook, 'the cup contests are dis cussed by everybody One reason tor this is luat it is generally believed Lhat the Britshers this time have the vest chance they ever have had and ihe contests will be really races, with nothing of the walkover about them. Not only are hundreds of strangers in town from Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago and many other cities, eager to witness the grand struggle between the two speediest yachts ever built, but the number of foreign visitors who are here for the same purpose has never before been exceeded. The hotels are packed with guests and the overflow has fill ed the boarding houses. It is estimated that 50,000 persons will witness tomorrow's race. Be sides the multitude of private crafts that will flock toward Sandy Hook lightship before 11 o'clock tomorrow there are excursion boats by the score to give those who wish an opportunity to witness the contest at a moderate cost. Over 100 steam and sailing yachts from eastern and southern wa ters have arrived within a day or two, and are anchored about the harbor. Off Bay Ridge there is the most im posing fleet of yachts that has been seen together in many a day. These yachts have left Newport and other places to give their owners a chance to see the races from their decks. Without doubt the flotilla that will rendezvous at the lightship tomorrow and follow the yachts will be the most imposing ever seen in American wa ters. Tug boats are in tremendous demand for select parties. Such a big rush for the ocean course has been anticipated that unusual precautions have been taken by the cup committee to have the course properly patrolled so that the racing yachts will not be interfered with by the excursion fleet. The task of pa trolling the course has been under taken by the Revenue Cutter Service, which successfully performed the work at the international races two years ago. The patrol force will be in charge of Captain Walter Shoe maker. Captain Shoemaker has de tailed a fleet of eight revenue vessels, including the Gresham, Tnsearora, Seminole, Windom and Polk. This fleet will be augmented by twelve or fifteen vessels of the New York Yacht club. The vessels of the yacht club will fly the flag of the revenue ser vice, ani on each will be placed a revenue cutter officer, with a detail of enlisted men. These vessels will bo clothed with the same authority in patrol duty during the time of the races as those of the regular service. With a fleet of twenty to twenty-five vessels. Captain Shoemaker is confi dent the course will be kept clear for the contesting yachts. Betting became quite lively today and several heavy wagers were re ported in the Wall street district. It is a significant fact that the most en thusiastic supporters of the American defender declined to offer any great odds and their money found ready takers among those who are of the opinion that the latest Lipton boat has an even chance of winnin? the cup. The large party of English vis tors that reached the city early this week are reported as placing some heavy bets on the Shamrock 111. Following is a glossary of the prin cipal terms occurring in descriptions of sailing races: Abaft—ln the direction of the stern. Beating to Windward— Making pro gress against the direction of the wind. (Continued on Page Four). WALLA WALLA, WASHINGTON, THE EVENING STATESMAN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1903. Terms Used in Yachting.

The farmers design the detention of produce in these storehouses till the farkets are satisfactory. The headquarters will be in Chicago. Some effort will prob ably be made to sell wheat at a dol lar this year. If the plans of the combination succeed the farmers' trust will be the greatest in the world. They contend that producers by it can control the situation, for they say that the detention of all produce for ten days will compel the markets to meet their figures. SEATTLE STREET CARS MAY BE TIED UP The Employes Have Made a Demand For Abitration and for Higher Wages. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 19.-—Unless President Furth of the Seattle Elec tric Co., will submit all differences between the street car company and its employes to arbitration and grant an increase In wages to 30 cents per hour, the union men threaten to walk out at four this afternoon and tie up every line in the city.

In the line as privates were many fa mous army officers. Gen. Miles and McArthur were in citizens clothes. The former's ovation every where was a prominent feature. Rests aloag the route were frequent. The feeble ness of the old soldiers in many cases was pathetic. Some were in wheel chairs. The Michigan veter ans carried a speckled rooster as a mascot. The lowa delegates gave their familiar yell, "Hooray! Hoo-: ray! Wheat, Corn and Hay. We are the Boys from lowa." every few blocks. Kansas presented a brilliant front with a huge sunflower. Colora do and Wyoming were headed by the famous Cook's Zouaves. All other states made a fine showing. Califor nia brought up to the iear under Gen. Shafter. San E.aacisco, Cal., Aug. 19.— Smaller, year by year, are the tuiH outs of the G. A. R., not more than 15,000 veterans being in line in their grand parade today. Notwithstand ing the fact that the number march ing was smaller than heretofore, the large number of musical organizations and drum corps made the proces sion interesting. The parade started at 10 o'clock a, m., being concluded before 2 p. m., the line of march be ing shortened because of the age and infirmities of many of the marchers. From every fence post, porch, window and roof of every building along the march people looked down upon the long line of bobbing blue and to these spectators the veterans sent back cheers and hand waves of greeting. The entire route of the procession was tasefully decorated with flags and bunting. Naturally California and the neigh boring states turned out the largest representation.

OF A PERMANENT CHARACTER Bulkheading of Mil| Creek, a New Bridge And Improvements of Many Streets of the City Contemplated. When the council adjourned last night after a two hours' session to meet again next Tuesday evening, it had cleaned up the biggest batch of business to come l>efore the board at a mid-month meeting in months. Per manent improvements for the coming year entered largely into the business of the meeting and on the recommend ation of the street committee it was decided to construct 700 feet of bulk head along Mill creek, commencing at the Park street bridge: to construct a new bridge at Sixth street and bulk head the south side of Mill creek at that point; to grade and improve Oak street from Fourth to Spokane; Ida ho street from Bast Main to Baker street and Wtest Main fiom Tenth to Twelfth. The matter of street impovements was forcibly discussed at somie length by Chairman Glasford of the street committee, who said that some of the streets of the city were a disgrace to the municipality, and their improve ment should have been undertaken long ago. The council was evidently of the same opinion as the adoption of the recommendations were unani mous. The street committee also asked that it be empowered to purchase two single wagons to replace two dump carts which are worn out and unfit for use. The request was granted. Band Get s a Lift.

IVOTHER PILGRIMAGE OF DOKKHOBERS ft .vorr.an Kanatic Exhorts Bepevers To Start Out Again—Exodus Checked. rmipeg, Man., Aug. 19. —Ever nic the Dukhobor outbreak of a ago, when over two thousand rted on a pilgrimage in search of fesus, only to be called to a halt by mounted police, ran into a corral d bundled off to their homes in arded trains, the religious excite iit has been smouldering in the faraway villages of the colony of the strange Russian sect. Several times has it blazed forth incipient crusades, but the pres of the police and the growing in .v of the more enlightened of i lors have prevented a repeti of a crusade of equal magnitude. iut a week ago a woman agitator d .Sophia Storboloff managed to re a following in the settlement back >i the Swan river. The men Hfere away at work in the fields some I, from their homes, and in their c she wrought up the females to such a pitch that they discarded all their clothing and prepared to I low her on tbe journey to Christ. T; ey formed a procession, and, .-uiiting the weird dirge-like hymns v .eir sect, deserted their homes uwi all. Word was conveyed' to the men at work and they followed the women secure a speedy return. Words w ere of no avail and resort was had to tore. The men used the whips for their horses and oxen, the naked cortege was soon brok en and in homeward flight. Many of a were badly injured by th« of the lashes which fell indis on their bodies, and they jpere cowed into obedience. The wo an leader was treated to a severe cas ligation before she was turned adrift fr's Roman Catholic church in this city, for $10,000. Strucks charges Father Senesae with alienating the affections of his wife. Mrs. Strucks is a pretty woman of 20. Her husband is nearly 50. Father Senesae is a handsome man of 38. Strucks in his complaint says his wife first met the priest at a church fair in Hartford in the winter of 1900. He declared the wrong doing of the pair began Aug. 1, 1900, and has con tinued up to the present time. He says that when he first discov ered it he drove his wife from his home and started to shoot the priest. Friends who learned of hi's plan, pre vented the shooting. He adds that he brings suit only in order that Father Senesae may be exposed and punished. Father Senesae, who comes of an old Montreal family and who has made several pilgrimages to Rome, was declared not at home when a re porter called at the parochial resi dence. His intimate friends in the parish declare that the charges were untrue. SMUG EMBEZZLER STOLE $138,000. Boston. Aug. 19. —It has been dis covered that William S. Allen, the embezzling treasurer of the Metho dist Preachers' Aid society, also took $8000 of the funds of the Methodist Historical society, of which he was trustee. This brings the total of his embezzlement from Methodist organ izations up to $118,000. Before he fled he borrowed $20,000 from friends. It is generally believed his losses in Wall street were not heavy and that he took with him fully $75,000. Following the clew furnished by Lewis S. Cafes of this city, who re ported having seen Allen at Roches ter, N. V., Thursday, the Boston pr> lice believe they are squarely on the track of the fugitive. THE EVENING STATESMAN. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1903. THE PiNllfl MTHWEST ON EQUAL FOOTING Eastern Teachers Are Given No Ad vantage. Salem, Or.. Aug 18.—The State Board of Education has recently made a ruling which will prevent the grad uates of normal schools of other states from securing state papers in this state unless they have passed state examinations the same as are now required of graduates of Oregon normal schools. The reason for this is that the board will not give to certificates and diplomas of other states a higher credit than is given to similar papers in this state. This ruling is in a measure a matter of protection to the Oregon teacher, who is required to take state examination whenever his or her graduation may be. In an nouncing the ruling, the state board gave out the following brief state ment: "The state board of education is not authorized to indorse a state pa per from another state, unless it was secured in consequence of an exam ination conducted by state authori ties of the state issuing the paper. In other words, a state paper issued from an institution of learning can not be indorsed by the Oregon State Board of Education. ."If applicants would bear the above ruling in mind, when making applica tions for state papers, much time and annoyance to all concerned would be avoided." It often occurs that a teacher comes to Oregon from an eastern state and has a state diploma secured in pur suance of graduation from a state nor mal school after an examination be fore members of the faculty of the faculty of the school. Such teachers apply to the state board of education for a state paper in Oregon upon the credit of the paper they already hold. The law uj>on the subject authorizes the board to grant state papers upon the credit of such papers from an other state, "provided the board is satisfied that said papers were secur ed by passing an examination equiva lent to that given by the state pa pers." Teachers who come here from the east put a liberal construction upon the word "equivalent," but the State Board of Education, being the state judge in the matter, holds that "equiv alent" means not only that the exam ation must not only He upon satisfac tory subjects, but that the examina tion must have been conducted by state authorities. Any more liberal rule would be giv ing to graduates of normal schools in other states privileges which are not granted to graduates of normal schools in this state, and this th* board will not do. OFFICERS BLOW DEADLY. Seattle. —Coleman Tierney, a sail or between Seattle and Alaska on the steamer Spokane, was killed by Pa trolman W. H. Searing, in the base ment of the White House saloon. H. 0. Fuhrberg, the proprietor, who tried to get the man to leave, was struck a blow and called the officer. On his arrival, after repeatedly requesting the sailor to move. Tierney began an onslaught on Searing. The latter drew his handcuffs and dealt Tierney a blow on the side of the head, frac turing his skull, from which instant death resulted. Tierney was 6 feet 1 1-2 inches in height, weighed 216 pounds and was a giant in strength. He had been drinking. Those Tired Feet.

Colfax Man Gets Good Grip on Thug's Collarfl Colfax. —A daring capture of a hold burglar was made shortly after mid night by O. L. Cave, one of the pro prietors of the City Bakery and Lodg ing house. Mr. Cave was awakened by hearing someone in his room, which is over the bakery. He leaped out of bed and saw two men, who ran out of the door and down into the al ley in the rear of the building. Cave followed and overtook one of the men in the alley and seized him by the collar. The man scuffled for a short time, but finally surrendered and Mr. Cave marched him up the street un til he found Deputy City Marshal Mackay, to whom he gave the pris oner. The man gave his name as Frank Hennessey, and is a tough looking in dividual. It is believed he and hi's partner came to town with the circus and remained here to work. He was taken to the county jail and will be charged with burglary. Cave lost a valuable watch and chain, hut these were not found on the prisoner, and it is thought hi's pal got the jewelry. Mr. Cave, when seen, did not appear to think he had done anything out of the way in capturing a burglar. A LIBERAL OFFER.

Internal Revenue Agents Make One Arrest and Expect More Re tailer Is Accused of Selling Imita tion Cremos. The arrest of Henry Silberstone. a cigar dealer, charged with having re filled cigar boxes, marked the begin ning of a war that will be waged by the United States Internal Revenue agents against dealers all over the city who have been engaged in simil ar practices. Silberstone is alleged to have bought several boxes of "Crermo" cig ars, and after selling the genuine ar ticle at the regular price, refilled the boxes with a cheaper article, which he sold at eight for 25 cents, explain ing his customers that the only difference in the cigars was in the matter of the bands. A cigar manufacturer interested in the case said: "Substitution of cigars or refilling of boxes hae been going on for some time. Wfc have spent thousands of dollars advertising one particular brand of cigars, and it is the name of this cigar that has been illegally uesd. The bands were placed upon our goods to protect our customers againt just such a fraud. The Federal authorities expect a number more of arrests shortly." ELOPERS COME TO GRIEF. The Men Arrested for Horse Stealing The Girls Also Locked Up. Carlyle, 111., Aug. 19. —Two gay young Lochinvars are in jail here, charged with horse stealing, while the girls with whom they ran away, are detained until their parents can be heard from. Rosa and Flossie Will iams, of Carmu. 111., are the girls. The youths, who give the names of Harry Williams and Paul Holland, were until recently performers with John Robinson's circus. They hired a team and carriage in Vincennes and accompanied by the girls, whose par ents are well to do, started for St. Ivouis. When the quartette arrived here they were penniless. It is believed the girls were infatuated with the cir cus performers, who induced them to run away from home. SAW DEPUTY ABUSE CONVICT. Sensational Charge Brought to Light in Ortoff's Case. Butte, Mont., Aug. 19. —Pursuant to legal advice, Michael Egan aban doned aa autopsy upon the remains of Frank Ortoff. the Wyoming stage rob ber and leader of the recent jail break, whose body was found hanging in a cell Saturday morning. The allegations were made that Or toff's suicide was due to terrible pun ishment inflicted at the jail, it being alleged in a signed statement made by Edward Dorval. chief operator of the Western Union, that he had seen a deputy sheriff stamp upon the pris oner's stomach until the schakled man became unconscious. Coroner Egan declares that the question of Ortoff's treatment by the jailer is a matter for the county com missioners, and not for him to inves tigate, as it has been proven beyond a doubt that death was directly due to the suicide. It is stated that the federal authorities will order an au toi>sy, as Ortoff was a United States prisoner, charged with robbing the mails of stages. IT IS NOT A BATH TUB. Chicago.

Crocker and other repub lican politicians of the stau.' who train with the railroad lobby, held a conference in Spokane. Monday and Tuesday. There were several matters under discussion. One was that of federal patronage. Secretary Hitch cock having prevailed upon President Roosevelt to turn down recommenda tions made by Senators Ankeny ami Foster for land office appointments at Spokane and Vancouver, it is now proposed to unite the senators of Washington, Oregon and California in a fight for the removal of Hitchcock from the cabinet. This will amount to a war upon President Roosevelt, and as the strenuous is not disposed to submit to dictation, the result of the proposed contest can easily be foretold. Hitchcock will stay in the cabinet and the senators opposing him will lose what little Influence they now have at the White House. As all these senators ate corpora tion men, they are at heart opposed to thetore the Wind —When the wind is ioiiowing the vessel. Benaing j>a;ls—To secure a sail to a yard, boom or gaff.

Local bank tellers forsee no practi cal difficulty in handling tae new, limp currency soon to be issued by the treasury department These notes, it is promised, will be pliable, silken, soft, not stiff and rough line those "crisp notes" of which poets have so long been dreaming. The prime ob ject of the change is to supply bills that wiil keep cleaner than the pres ent issue, and that will mingle fewer microbes with American prosperity "No, crisp notes is not the teller's delight," explained one of those Mir ases. "Our portraits represent us as 'clinging to package of stiff 2o's, but in j fact we'd rather handle older bills, j The new money is cleaner —that's its only advantage. The crisp notes, j which you might suppose would- sep- I arate easily, are inclined, on the con trary, to stick together. A pair of j notes that belong to the same lodge— i the same package—Often becomes as unanimous as those 'Ingomar people. I always hesitate to pay out any consi derable number of new notes at once. llf I can transfer a whole package, just as we receive it from the treasu ry, there's no risk. Or if I can pick out one or two new notes. I don't mind. But if I had to giro out. say $365 in new fives. I should count the whole bunch twice and very carefully, and that takes a good deal of time. "Now, old notes, or even notes that have been handled a few times, lose their stiffness and get very match eas ier to manipulate For instance I could take this package of old bills and count them out as fast as any body's wife could spend them. Old notes may be bad for a teller's health, but they're safer for his pocketbook." BARB WIRE LINE GROWS.

BRYAN AS A FARMER He Must Cut Out All Politics When He Speaks at Niagara Falls. Chicago. Aug 19.—Governor Mickey of Nebraska has appointed W. J.

Stahl of Chicago, secretary of the congress said: "Mr. Bryan is appointed as a far mer and because he is a farmer. The Farmers' National congress is not in any way a political organization. It is composed of delegates appointed by the governors of the various states. Each state has a voting strength ecpial to the number of its congressmen, United States sena tors and state organizations of ev ery sort devoted to agriculture or any branch of it. "We shall welcome Mr. Bryan and listen to him with r spect if he chooses to talk about anything di rectly pertaining to farming. On the other hand, he will probably learn something of value to him."

"The weeds lo not confine themselves to the out skirts but may be found' in Alder street near the city market in large numbers. Property owners should make a careful investigation of their premises and if any of the pests an discovered they should be destroyed at once.

Secretary Root of the War Depart ment to Follow This Course. Washington. I). c. Aug. 19.—Seen tary Root has practically decided to recommend the re-establishment of the army canteen. This will be grat ifying news to soldiers and their friends. There has been considerable dissatisfaction in the ranks because of the abolition of the canteen. Practically every officer in the ar my and ail the officials of the war department have concluded after a practical test that a mistake was made in abolishing it as the army has been injured by so doing. As a result of that action a large number of vile saloons have sprung into ex istence in the vicinity of army posts, and drunkenness has increased in the army. The number of desertions also have increased. There are on file in the war de partment confidential reports from of ficers of the army which show the bad results of closing the canteen.

IRPEAL OF DESERT HMD ACT And Modification of Timber and Stone Act Favored—Will Be Much Opposition. Washington. I). C. —T.ie 58th con gress, when it regularly assembles in December, will be called upon to re move from the statute books three laws under which the government is being systematically robbed each year of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars' worth of public lands. The robbers are not in all oases violating the letter of the law, and as long as these three laws re main in force they cannot be reached, but they ar« violating the spirit of the law, and escape only on techni calities. The fight begun in the last days of the 57th congress, to bring about the repeal of the timber and stone act. the desert land act. and the commutation clause of the rome stead act. is to be renewed with vig or, and the friends, as well as the en emies of reform, aro even now pre paring to enter the fray, each side de termined to win. Hitchoock Favors Reform. Secretary Hitchcock, after more than four years in the cabinet, during which time he has familiarized him self With tiie operations of the sever al land laws, has become convinced that th,- statute should be changed. He cannot see why the government should relinquish for $i an acre tim ber dands that art- worth $4uo an acre; he cannot sec why dummy en tries should be permitted, even though they tie made just inside the limita tions of the law; he daes not see why one man should be permitted to make an entry in the interest of another; nor does lie recognize the justice of allowing cattle barons and large stork interests to gain control, if not ownership, of vast tracts of public grazing lands, contrary to the public policy. Secretary Hitchcock has come to realize that while the govern ment h annually losin* vast areas of valuable lands under the opeations of the laws just specified, the govern ment is, to a great extent, powerless to arrest many forms of speculative entries so long as these remain on the statute books. Extremist to Be Heard. Some reformers, in congress as well as out. go so far as to advocate the repeal of all public land laws, ap plying to agricultural and timber lands, save the pure and simple homestead law, requiring five years' residence and improvement. They say that such a sweeping reform would not deter a single desirable settler from entering the country west of "the Missouri river, but, on the other hand, would encourage legitimate settle ment, in that a homesteader under such conditions would have a guar antee from the government that his humble beginning would not be crushed out of existence by a great' land monopoly surrounding him and choking his small but legitimate en terprise to death in its inception. Thi s view, however, is extreme, and not likely to be taken by congress. It would imj ose too long a time upon those d siring to acquire timber lands, for one thing, and would prac tically shut off the settlement of many deserts lands, upon which a man could support himself, unaided, for a period of five years. Conservatism Essential The sentiment in favor of reform is growing, hut any attempt at such radical reform as this would be met with failure. Reform legislation, to pass congress, must be to some ex tent conservative, a sort of compro mise measure. Congress will never consent to the repeal of the timber and stone act. unless some suitable legislation is enacted providing a new but equitable means by which public timber lands can be acquit cd. It is possible that some legislation may be framed authorizing the sale af tinr ber land from the public domain, a practice that is now prohibited, but for which there is more or less de mand. The propriety of such legisla tion is questionable, inasmuch as the sale of timber would decrease the val us of the land itself and reduce the probability of its ultimate disposal. Desert Laws Favor Stockmen. It is alleged by many that the pas sage of the national irrigation law has largely done away with the necessity for the desert-land act. but this as sertion will he called into question. It is a fact that the government has been swindled out of thousands of acres of grazing and even agricul tural land by persons who have oper ated under the desert-land law, and so long as that law continues in its present form these frauds can never be entirely arrested. Violations of the desert-land law have not been so extensive on the Pacific coast as in the states east of the Rocky moun tains, particularly in Montana. But even in those states the desert law has many friends as well as enemies. Most Good Settlers Don't Commute. A more consistent fight can be made on the commutation clause of the homestead law than on either of the laws above specified, but a num ber of western congressmen, men of influence, too. are fighting the repeal of this law. on the ground that it would unnecessarily work hardship on settlers. On the other hand, ad vocates of repeal assert that any man who sincerely enters 160 acres under the homestead law, with the inten tion of making it his permanent home, could certainly not object to being obliged to live on his land for five years, and to cultivate and improve it. They insist that a bona fide set tler, a settler of the desirable class, would do this, regardless of the law; would do it iv his own interest, and would much prefer to acquire title by residence, than by paying cash for the land after he had resided thereon lor 14 months. One prominent mem ber of the sth congress and occupies a high place on the public lands com mittee, in discussing this question last winter, said that the commuta tion clause should never be repealed. He insisted that settlers should be al lowed to acquire title to their lands as soon as possible, in order that they might mortgage their homesteads and raise money with which to buy farm machinery, build a home and barns and purchase stock. But this member did not explain what the money that a settler would be requir ed to pay for his land could not be applied at the outset to the purchase of machinery, etc.. and then acquire title to the land by mere settlement. A Strong Case for Reform. Upon the showing of facts which ?an be made by the interior depart- THE EVENING STATESMAN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1903. nent, Illustrating the many ways in which frauds are heing perpetrated mder these three laws, and the im wssibility of thoroughly defending the government against such frauds io long as these laws are loosely Irawn, congress may be brought be realize the necessity for reform. Bui there is a strong western elemem against this reform. The opposition, rather than have reforms wants even more liberality in the land laws. They ooint to ihe fact that man;- Ameri cans are now taking home-steads in Canada, rather than in our western states, and assign as the reason the fact that our public land laws are toe stringent. As a matter of fact, men familiar with land questions who have taken the trouble to gel at the facts, report that the land laws of Canada are far more rigid and the require ments far more binding on settlers than the laws of the United States. This western opposition, however, is the most disheartening obstacle that muse be overcome by reformers, for the very fact that promfinent western senators and representatives, repub oan and democrats alike, and men who are supposed to thoroughly un derstand the public land situation, are against any reform in the land laws is very likely to have weighty influence upon members from the east. The reformers realize that theirs must he a campaign of educa tion, and they are preparing them selves r.ccordingly. HEIR TO FORTUNE A MISSING WOMAN Who Worked As a Domestic In Seat tie, Left Property by Deceased Father. Seattle.—M. A. Gorrill. of Law rence, Kas., prosecuting attorney of Douglas county, is in the city in an effort to ascertain the whereabouts oi Miss Alice M. E. Clark, for whom a fortune of nearly $20,000 is waiting. For the past two weeks, while mak ing himself think he is out on a va cation trip, he has been tracing the woman, and the trail has led to Seat tle, where he has positively knowl edge she was on April 27, 1900. A week prior to that date she was work ing as a domestic at some, point across the ba ami on the date men tioned was bearding with a Mrs. Will iams in Sea;tit It may be that short ly afterwards she went to Nome. Mr. Gorrill w:l] remain in the city a few days, the guest of the Seattle hotel, and in time hopes to receive some tidings of his quest. Twelve years ago Miss Clark, who is the daughter of a farmer, and who prior to that time had lived on her father's farm near Lawrence, had a quarrel with her stepmother and left home. At that time her father was strug gling along with no prospect in sight of making a fortune. After the girl went out into the world to make her own living no tidings of her ever reached The father prospered, and when he died a year ago left an estate valued at between $30,000 and $40,000. He had no other children, and the girl and the step mother are his only heirs. After the death of her fatl or Miss Clark's uncle took up his abode in the home of her father, with Mrs. Clark, and is living there at the present time. Neither of the couple has made any effort to find the girl, and the mat ter coming under his notice as prose cuting attorney, Mr. Gorrill started out to find her, with good prospects of success. He has ascertained that from law -1 Miss Clark went to Denver, where she worked out for living until 1888, when she went to Hutte. A ear later she wrote a friend in Den ver, Miss Towne, that she was em ployed in a hotel at Butte doing cham ber work. From Denver Mr. Gorrill went to Butte, where he succeeded in finding the hotel at which she had been employed, and also a woman friend of the missing heiress. From her he secured a letter, written from Seattle by Miss Clark, on April 27, 1900, in which she stated she had been employed as a domestic across the bay, but had quit and was at that time boarding with a Mrs. Williams. She did not give any address, but said she had an idea she would go to Nome, where she had heard there were splendid opportunities. That is the last trace of her Mr. Gorrill has b?en able to get. He has not been able to find Mrs. Williams, from whom he believes he would get valu able information. Miss Clark is now a woman about 43 years of age. She is of Scotch des cent, is short and stout and of light complexion. If she is found she will receive un der the laws of Kansas, one-half ot the estate, which Mr. Gorrill esti mates to be worth very nearly $40,000. COCKRELL NAMED For President by Champ Clark of Missouri. ftSILD UITE THE DEMOCRATS Missouri Senator Has Always Been Loyal To the Ticket and Is Safe Man. Atlantic, la.—Congressman Champ Clark, of Missouri, in an interview discussed at some length the candi dacy of Senator Cockrell for the dem ocratic presidential nomination. "This is Missouri's golden oppor tunity to have one of her illustrious sens elevated to the presidency of the United States. General Francis Marion Cockrell can he elected if nominated and most assuredly he should he nominated, for the good of both the party and the country. "General Cockrell would win. He would poll every anti-republican vote in America, and any man who can ao that can be elected. His record on ah public questions, including finance, is without a flaw. Therefor he would be acceptable to the silver democrats, so called, while his conservatism; would rally to his standard democrats who are not enamored of free silver, and republicans who believe in this coun try attending to its own business strictly and letting the affairs of oth er countries alone. A|| Veterans His Supporters. "His liberality as to pensions would bring to his support lots of Union vet erans, and. of course, the Confederate veterans, to a man would shout them selves hoarse for him. "His military service would help rather than hurt his candidacy. Ten years ago it would have been a bar, but in this new era of good feeling union soldiers would prefer a Confed erate who fought during the war and who quit fighting when it closed, to a civilian. I know that they entertain the warmest friendship for General Cockrell, because I have heard hun dreds of them say so, shove and 1 el bow each other and trample other people's toes to get to shake hands with him. "If nominated he will not only be elected but will sweep Missouri by 10,000 majority. "I am for General Cockrell because I like him personally; because he is a democrat without guile; because I know his candidacy would reunite the warring elements of the party; be cause I beleve he would be elected. "Defeat would not injure General Cockrell an iota, for the plain people of Missouri —the true-blue democrats —will see to it that nobody purloins his -eurule chair he is pulling democracy together. "General Cockrell's presidential candidacy, successful or unsuccess- ful, would work this eood. if no other —>and it would be a great good. It would harmonize a 1 of the elements of the party into a lomogenous whole and leaving it in fighting trim for the future. "Would he accept? Judging by his latest interview 'Barkis is not willin., He certainly is not seeking a presi dential nomination, but he may be induced to run for the public weal. He nowhere says in that interview that he would not accept." RAN AWAY AND MARRIED. Fon dv Lac, Wis.. Aug. 19.—Will iam Nelson of Neenah and Miss Ellen M. Gaffney of this city were married secretly on July 11, 1891, and the fact was kept secret until yesterday, when Mrs. Nelson showed her marriage certificate while visiting friends here. Rev. John Faville of the Congrega tional church, and the fact that the bride's relatives are Catholics had much to do with keeping the matter secret. Mrs. Nelson says that she ran away to be married and after the ceremo ay visited in North Dakota. Later she attended school in Valparaiso, Ind.. and returned to Fon dv Lac in 1894. Since that time they lived in Milwaukee and in Minneapolis. She says that she and her husband are on good terms, but do not live together now. "Why don't you try to write your name on the scroll of fame?" "My friend," said Senator Sorghum very earnestly, "I have never yet seen any body tearing leaflets out of the scroll of fame and getting them cashed at the bank." OASTORIA. EMALMERS OF DEAD MIST HAVE A LKKASE The State Board of Health Has Issued An Order To That Effect. The state board of health proposes to regulate more closely the embalm ing of bodies, and an examination of embalmers is to take place in Spo kane August 31. The rules go into ef fect September and after that date the railroads will refuse transporta tion of bodies whose death has been caused by any communicable disease, in case the signature of a licensed embalmer is lacking. Washington is one of the last states in the west to adopt this precaution in the handling of the dead. For a long time regulations such as will be enforced have been desired by the transportation lines, as dan ger is known in handling of corpses unless embalming has been properly done. The state board of health will adopt the rules of the Xational Asso ciation of Boards of Health and of the Xaticnai Association ci' Baggage Agents. It is intended to hold annual examinations for the license of em balmers, the one of next year to be held in Seattle. The greater number of common diseases are classed as contagious or infectious, the list including diphther ia, membraneous croup. scarletina, scarlet rash, scarlet fever, glanders, leprosy, typhoid fever, consumption, etc., and the list will be made to in clude pneumonia. "Wle are rather behind other states in imposing these regulations and re quiring licenses of embaimers and un dertakers." said Dr. B. E. Heg, the secretary' of the state board of health.

"Then they are still open to accept their offer to me?" Miller laughed as if highly amused at the complication of the matter. "They are bound, you remember, on ly so long as you hold their note." "Then I tell you what to do." pro posed Wilson. "(Jo back and tell them not to bother about payment for a few days, anyway, and that we will soon tell them positively whether we will pay their price or not. That's fair, isn't it?" "It might seem so to a man person ally interested in the deal," admitted Miller as the 'introduction to another of his blows from tbe shoulder, "but as lawyer for my clients I can only obey orders, like the boy who stood on the burning deck." Wilson's face fell. The remote click ing of the typewriter seemed to grate upon his high wrought nerves, and he went and slammed the partly opened door, muttering something like an oath. On that slight journey, however, he caught an idea. "Suppose you wire them my propo sition and wait here for a reply," he suggested. Miller frowned. "That would do no good," he said. "I'm sorry I can't ex plain fully, but the truth is this: I hap pen to know that they wish for rea sons of their own to take up the note you hold and that nothing else will suit them." At this juncture Wilson lost his grip on all self possession and degenerated into the sullen anger of sharp and un expected disappointment. "I don't feel that we are being fairly treated." be said. "We most naturally assumed that your clients wanted to to extend our option on the property for at least another six months. We assumed that from the fact that we had no notification from them that they would be ready to pay the note today. That's where we feel injured, Mr. Miller." Rayburn threw his cigar into a cus pidor. His attitude of being a nonin terested agent was simply a stroke of genius. Behind this plea he crouched, showing himself only to fire shots that played havoc with whatever they struck. "I believe my clients did feel, I may say, honor bound to you to sell for the price they offered, but—now I may be mistaken—but I'm sure they were un der the impression, as I was! too, that you only wanted the property provided you could build a railroad from Darley to it, and"— "Well, that's true," broke in Wilson. "That's quite true." "And," finished Miller, still behind his inevitable fortification, "they tell me that you bave certainly shown in difference to the project ever since the note was given. In fact, they asked me pointedly if I thought you meant business, and I was forced conscien tiously to tell them that 1 thought you seemed to have other fish to fry." Wilson glared at the lawyer as if he wanted to kick him for a stupid idiot wdio could not do two things at once work for the interests of his clients aud not wreck bis plans also. It had been a long time since he had found himself in such a hot frying pan. "So you think the thing is off?" he said desperately, probably recalling several purchases of land he had made in the section be had expected to de velop. "You think it's off?" (To Be Continued.) The Giraffe —Can I join you? Mr. Hippo —No, you can't, old chappie, this is a spot-barred game.

ON FAIR BUILDINGS Work Wiil Be Commenced Soon-Lumher Here. THE MANAGEMENT ENCOURAGED Business Men Yesterday Subscribed Goodly Sum For Space— "Fair Will Be a Big Success," Says Secretary Van De Water. With all the lumDer on the ground with the exception of a few heavy framing timbers, work on the mam moth building which will harbor Wal la Walla's fruit fair again this year will be commenced in a few days. Work in a small way was started on the site yesterday, a small building for the storing of grass and grain dec orations being put up. The site for the main building was also surveyed and cleared lor the foundations. The site for holding the fair this year has been greatly enlarged through the generous spirit displayed by property owners in donating the use of land in the vicinity. George Welch, who owns residence property adjoining the Betz tract, has tendered the use of a large plot of his prop erty and arrangements have been made for the use of the Bartmess lot. This will give ample space without encroaching on other private prop erty in the vicinity. Yesterday afternoon was the first opportunity that Secretary Van De Water has had to interview merchants and business men. but within a very few minutes an amount exceeding $t>oo was pledged for space. "From the encouragement the man agement received yesterday it is very apparent that the same old enthusi astic spirit toward a fruit fair is still prevalent." the secretary said this morning. "Wfhile it has been im- I>osFible to make a thorough canvass of the business district the spirit dis played by merchants interviewed is indeed gratifying and points to the success of the fair again this year."

Decides On Fatal Step After Retiring to Her Room For a Rest. Despondent and homesick. Edna Folia, a domestic employed at the home of Mrs. Gillin below Milton, sui cided yesterday afternoon by taking a heavy dose of strychnine. The young woman retired to her room about 3 o'clock in the afternoon after finishing up a week's washing. At five o'clock a member of the family called to her but received no answer. The door being locked, a ladder was secured and entry made through the window, when it was discovered the girl was dead. She had lain on the bed without rem/oving her clothes. Strychnine was found upon her body ar.il a bottle of the drug was found in her trunk. An inquest is to be held by Coroner Cole of Umatilla county this afternoon. There being no other explanation of the rash act forthcoming the cause is attributed to despondency. It was not known ;hat she had any troubles while it seems to be the opinion that she was at times discouraged at her lot in life. Her* parents reside in Utah and it is not known that she has any relations nearer. Miss Folia had been in the employ of the Gillins for two years. IDEAL WEEK FOR HARVEST. Some Sections of the State There Were Light Rains. In the western section the week was mostly cloudy and cool, with a light rain on the 13th, and a sprinkle on the 15th. 16th and 17th, says the government climate and crop service this week. While the rain was very beneficial to root crops and gardens it was quite insufficient, as much mjore is greatly needed; for pastures are becoming short in all sections. This has been an ideal week for the harvesters and threshers in the east ern section, where it has been clear, warm and dry. Harvesting of winter wheat is about finished, except in Stevens and Whitman counties. Threshing is now in full progress and grain i 3 being hauled to the ware houses. There will be a fair average yield, the quality is fine, except in a few localities, where some smut is reported. In Spokane county oats and barley will be good crops; sugar beets and all root crops are looking fine. Oats in the Sound country are reported heavy and lodged in some places. Hop spraying is finished and the yield will be very good. SHOWERS IN THE EAST. New York, Aug. 19. —The weather bureau predicts showers tomorrow morning. MOSQUITO MURDERS MAN.

The pest house, which harbored hun- j dreds of "speckled" patients the I past two years, is closed up tight as a drum and the indications, County j Health Physician Stiles said this morning, were favorable for it to re main closed for some time. "From what I can learn the city's health this summer is better than it ever was," he said. "There is an en tire absence of contagion with one or two exceptions, and fever cases, which in the past have been frequent during the summ<er months, are very few. The city is as healthy as it could possibly be for a city of its size, and I feel safe in asserting that there is not another town in the state that can show as clean a bill of health." r Portland Restaurant leads.
