ASSASSIN THWARTED Attempts to Force En trance to White House ASSAULTS THE DOORKEEPER Striking Him With Knife—Was Him self Cut and Bruised Before Being Overpowered. Washington, Oct. 5. —A man who later gave the name of Peter Elliott of Milwaukee and his occupation as a machinist attempted to gain en tiance to the White House this morn ing. Being told that the could not see the president he became violent and fought desperately. He was armed with a revolver and knife and used the latter on Doorkeeper Cisle, in flicting a bad scalp wound and also a cut on the hand. Elliott was remov ed to the emergency hospital and later to the police station. An hour earlier he had demanded to see the president. When asked his business he claimed he had been sent for ana then said the president wanted to see him for fun. As he seemed harmless he was not detained. Yesterday he attracted attention by trying to reach the president in church but was turned away by the ushers. A search of Elliott revealed a load ed revolver and a pair of long-bladed shears. He denies that he intended 10 kill the president. His language is that of a foreigner. It is learned that Elliott wrote a long incoherent letter to President Roosevelt last week enclosing his photograph. He said he would call this week to see the president pri vately. Secretary Loeb opened the letter and considered it sufficiently dangerous to show all the door keep ers and special officers the photo graph. When Elliott called the second tim e at the White House this morning Doorkeeper Cisele recognized him and invited him inside to take a seat. Elliott sat a moment and then start ed down the lobby flourishing a knife, which Cisele at once attempted to secure. <jisel~ would have been worsted, but the chief usher who is Stone, old and muscular overcame El liott after a hard light. After being apparently subdued he was placed in a police van wh«r c he again became violent and attacked the two men. In the fight that followed, the glass sides of the van were broken and Cisele thinks his wound came from broken glass. The piesident at the time of the encounter, was in his office in the west wing of the White House and knew nothing of the affair until it was all over. He is a perfect type of the an archist. He talks in a rambling way and the doctors believe he is insane. He says he came from Baltimore last Thursday and met the president in church. He says the president wants him to marry Alice. He claims the royal blood of Sweden flows in his veins and that an attempt was made on his life in Minneapolis from where he was compelled to flee to avoid death. He insists that he is the president's personal friend and that he carried weapons only for self protection. The address given by Elliott is an obscure lodging house. The proprie tor said thai Elliott came last Satur day and deposited a quarter, later he paid 75 cents more. He mentioned two men who came to the city with him, but they did not appear. A small satchel was found in hi's room. It was turned over to the secret ser vice officers. Anti-Addicks Man Appointed. Washington.

FILED REMONSTRANCE. Waitsburg Business Men and Taxpay ers Do NotWWatn t the Stubble field Home. Attorney Richard Ormsbee of Waitsburg. representing the Waits burg Commercial club and taxpayers of the east end of the county, today filed a remonstrance bearing 146 names with the board of county com missioners protesting against the board's appropriating $10,000 toward the proposed Stubblefield home. Mr. Ormsbee in presenting the re monstrance stated that in his opinion the board had no right to appropriate the amount asked for and intimated that if the sum was appropriated the Waitsburg Commercial club would begin injunction proceedings against Auditor Honeycutt to restrain him from issuing the warrant and to pre vent Treasurer Hawley from paying it. Although members of the board are reticent in regard to the matter, it is generally believed that the pro posed measure will be turnred down. Time to Hustle. Editor Statesman: I hear that the Waitsburg people have a numerously signed petition against the county commissioners ap propriating the $10,000 fund to build the Stubblefield home. and that Waitsburg will raise the amount to secure the homo if given the home at the burg; also that ft is very neces sary to put men in the field to person ally work for signers if Walla Walla expects to secure the home here. MILTON EVANS. TYNER INDICTED FOR CROOKEDNESS In Passing Upon Get-Rich-Quick Con cerns and for Other Frauds. Washington. Oct. s—The federal grand jury this afternoon found in dictments against Tyner and Harri son Barrett, formerly assistant attor ney general of the postoffice depart ment for conspiracy to defraud the government.

The grand jury also returned an indictment against Met calf, the Hallenbeck Crawford com pany and Norman Metcalf, his son. for conspiracy to commit fraud and another against Hallenbeck for the presentation of a false claim. Machen was also indicted for the 14th time for the acceptance of bribes on con tracts for badges for rural mail car riers. NUMBER 174. LORTON SUCCEEDS A. F. Statter as Man agerof the Union. RETRENCHMENT AND ECONOMY Will Be the Watchword of the New Management—Burford Tired of Putting Up. One week from today Eugene Lor ton, editor of th e Washtucna Enter prise, and son-in-law of Representa tive Rassett of Adams county, will succeed A. P. Statter as editor and .'Manager of Senator Ankeny's local organ., the Daily Union. Owing to some differences regarding tie policy of the paper and its business manage ment between Cashier Rurford of the Ankeny bank and those having charge of the paper's news and editorial col umns, Editor Statter. City Editor Campbell and Night Editor Dyraent last week tendered their resignations. Mr. Statter will soon go to Washing ton as Senator Ankeny's private sec retary and would probably have re signed anyway because of the heavy responsibility involved in holding -he two positions. Mr. Campbell will £0 to Seattle, where he will resume his old work as a linotype operator. It Is reported today that Mr. Dyment is reconsidering his resignation and that he may decide to accept the posi tion of city editor under the new man. agement. Although the management of the Union has always kept up a hold face and cheerful demeanor, it has long been evident to any observer of good business judgment that the paper lacked a great deal of paying its way and that it was kept on its feet by drawing upon its owner's plethoric bank account. That was all well enough while Mr. Ankeny was a can didate for the senate, but now that he is in possession of the office he be gins to doubt the wisdom of maintain ing an organ at a heavy loss merely for the sake of glory. Therefore, It is surmised that he Instructed his financial manager, Mr. Burford, to put or. the screws and the result was the resignation of the three leading men of the editorial and news force. E. onomy and retrenchment will be the watchword of the new manage ment. It is Mr. Lorton's first experi ence as editor of a daily paper, but he has shown r nn^iderab! 0 ability as a writer en his weekly in the thriv ing little town of Washtucna and he may prove to be the Moses that the Union has been looking for during Its many vicissitudes of fortune for 10, these many years. Ir is reported that the Union is for sale, but a condition of the bargain must be that the paper shall ever be loyal to Senator Ankeny.

Seattle.— At the same time a tiny girl saw the light of lay i n his home at 9 o'clock in the morning Cromwell M. Knowlton hurle" himself into eternity with black powder and tried to take his 3-year-ohl daughter with him. The ease is on e of the strangest that has ever reached the coroner's office, and were it not that circum stances point directly to suicide and attempted murder it would appear an accident. Knowlton, who for several years prior to last June worked as a chip per in the employ of the Railway Steel and Supply company on Twenty third avenue, on July 1 last took a three-year lease of the Dr. Noble homestead at Riverside. With his wife and 2-year-old daughter Nellie, he moved out there, and ever since has appeared to be in the happiest frame of mind. A few days ago he came to Seattle and conferred with Dr. E. E. Beckett, whom he asked to be at the ranch early next morning. The doctor was there shortly after daylight. Knowlton stayed about the house and appeared to be in the very best of spirits. The child was born at exactly 9 o'- clock. Five minutes before that hour Knowlton took Nellie by the hand and led her outside the house. Dr. Beck ett did not j ay any attention to them. Fifty feet from he farm residence is a cabin, which was formerly used by a Japanese who worked on he ranch. In this place was stored a keg of black powder, which was used for blasting stumps. There was nothing else in the place, and Knowlton must have gone directly there with his little daughter. It appears that he took out his pocket knife and cut off a 4-foot piece of fuse and inserter one end of it in the car., as it was found there after the explosion. He must then have lit the fuse. Dr. Beckett heard the explosion, but thought it was someone tearing THE EVENING STATESMAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1903. up a stump, and no attention was paid to it for about ten minutes. Then the physician went outside the house ;o find the father and notify him of the birth of his daughter. He saw the cabin in rui::s and walked over to it. The force of the explosion had blown out the sides and the heavy roof had fallen in on top of Knowlton. tie had fallen upon his knees, with one hand outstretched, and the body was lying against a pile of lumber. Underneath hint was Nellie, protect ed In part by the body of her father. Knowlton's clothes were on fire as were those of the child. Dr. Beckett quickly pulled both out and saw that the father was dead, but the child was living. The physician ran for water, which he threw over the clothing of both, putting out the flames, and the child was taken to the home of a neighbor and afterwards moved to the county hospital at Georgetown. Her injuries consist of large burns about .he arms and body, and her lower limbs are badly bruised. Whether or not she will live cannot be told, as she may have been injured inter nally. It was some time before Mrs. Knowlton was told .he death of her husband. She bore up well and stated that she could assign no rea son for his act, and believed it must have been an accident. However, the finding of the pocket knife beside the body and the fuse in the can give ev ery evidence of suicide. PROGRESS OF WORLD'S FAIR. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 3.—The first outdoor exhibit to be installed on the exposition grounds is practically com pleted and ready for operation. The exhibit consists of three silos located on the high ground immediately south of the Horticulture building. The si los are cylindrical, crowned by a con ical roof and built entirely of Califor nia redwood, hooped around with heavy wrought iron rods. The two larger of these silos are 18 feet in di ameter. One is 40 feet high and con tains 200 tons of silage. The other is 32 feet high and contains 139 tons. Silage is green corn, stalk, ear and blade, chopped fine. This chopped feed will lie used for feeding the cat tle in the dairy barns to be built around the silos. The exhibitor of the silos is a Michigan firm which- made arrangements for the exhibit and re ceived allotment of space from the department of agriculture.

Northern Pacific Shows Clezn elate at Year's End The Northern Pacific railroad Will show in Its annual report for this year that all the tax claims against the read have been cleaned up. There might be a few isolated casts wdiere local improvement taxes have not been paid, but officials of the road are convinced if such is the case these claims have not yet fallen due. The showing of a slate in tax claims is the first the Northern Pa cific has been able to make in more than thirteen years, if there has ever been a time when all claims were ad justed. As late as two years ago the road had, in Washington, many tax claims outstanding, which covered as sessments made as far back as 1892. The road was making an effort at that time to clean up its taxes and had effected compromises or paid the tax es in many of the Washington coun ties. In most cases the Northern Pacific has settled its tax claims through ne gotiations with different boards of county commissioners, and compar atively little litigation has been ne cessary in effecting a settlement. Thii recoru is regarded by officials of the road with a great deal of satisfaction. The northwestern states held some of the oldest claims for taxes against the northern Pacific. In Idaho, Ore gon and Washington there was scarcely a county through which the road ran or in which the Northern Pacific had interests, which did not hold some claim for back taxes two years ago. In few cases they were of recent years, but most of the claims were of long standing. The road took up the matter of effecting set tlement? in earnest about that time, and the work was done systematic ally. The clean record of the Northern Pacific is declared by officials of the road to indicate a policy of meeting rax claims promptly in the future. They state that the company has be come convinced that the plan of keep ing taxe paid up promptly will work to the advantage of the system, and this will be attempted in the future. Moreover, the good financial condi tion of the road makes it possible to do so. Tax agents of the Northern Pacific were ii Seattle yesterday to investi gate local improvement claims and to effect a settlement. This work per tains to the present fiscal year. BALANCE IN HAND.

Hurley says he wil] have no trouble in proving his innocence, and is glad of the opportunity to do so. He Is charged with appropriating to his own use some $8000 or more belonging to the Montana Hardware company, of which he was manager. The accused man, so it is said, has stated that the fraudulent entries were made under instructions. Mr. Hurley was accompanied by his wife and went immediately to the home of his mother on his arrival in this city. Since leaving Butte, Mr. Huriey has resided in Seattle and Nome. Alaska. In the former place he was employed in a hank, and went to Nome to ac cept a similar position there, where he was engaged when arrested by Sheriff Quinn. Hurley was one of the leading lights in Butte social Hf* and was well-known in business cir cles in the state. Th e revelation of his alleged crime caused a sensation. BULLET IS TURNED. C. Swift Receives Wound He Intended For Another. Bremerton. —C. Swift, while at tempting to shoot William Peterson, shot and instantly killed himself. Swift was a dope fiend and a crip ple. He had no regular occupation and was simply a loiterer about the city. About a month ago he and Pe terson, who is a boy about 16 years of age. were rooming together. Swift came home one night and wiiile under the Influence of a drug or liquor be gan to smash up the furniture and generally turn the room into a wreck. Peterson threw a stone and hit him on the head. Ever since that time Swift has been looking for the boy. He met Peterson on the street. He endeavored to get the boy to go out to the park with him. He told him that there were friends of ins out there who wished to see htm. The boy suspected Swift and refused to go. Swift then drew a gun and thrusting it in the boy's face, forced him to march in front of him. They started on their way out to the park, where it is thought. Swift meant to kill the boy. He marched Peterson at the point of the revolver until they met a man named Hum mel. Peterson called on Humme] for help. "For the Lord's sake, save me!" oe cried. "He is going to kill me!" Hummel began to argue with Swift, who became enraged. Hum mel grasped him by the arms, and Swift fired at Peterson, who started to run. Swift fired, a second shot at the boy. He then attempted to shoot Hum mel, who was holding him from be hind. His intended victim, however, pinioned his arms so that the shot struck Swift in the head, instantly killing him. Peterson was unhurt ex cept for a powder burn on the face. Swift was about 3fi years of age. and nothing is known of his antece dents. A BRITISH AIRSHIP. Within the next few weeks the ait ship which Dr. F. A. Barton has buiM at the orders of the British war of fice will undergo its first test says rhe Oregonian. In 1899 the war office gave him an appropriation of $20.- --000 for this purpose, with the condi tions that the airship was to carry three men with necessary apparatus and fuel for three days; to keep in the air for that length of time: to have a speed of not less than sixteen miles an hour in a calm (subsequently re duced to thirteen); to turn in a circle of 100 yards radius, and to be able to ascend and descend without special apparatus on the ground. The bal loon is projectile shape, having a ca pacity of 230,000 square feet. It supports a ship the framework of which is 127 feet long, the deck being 123 feet long. The balloon itself is the largest in the world, measuring from tjp to tip 170 feet. The ship is made of bamboo rods and has strength sufficient to carry 100 per sons. There are three motors, each of 50-horsepower. placed on aluminum bridges in the bow, stern and center 01 the ship. Motors and crew will make the ship weigh about seven tons. For raising or lowering the ship thir ij aeroplanes. 15x3 feet, are used. There will he six propellers. By means of water tanks which work au tomatically, it will be possible for the crew to walk about the deck, as the balance will be preserved. Read the ads in the Statesman. WARREN INTERESTED.

Warren, oi Butte ana Tonopaa, who was ouo of the "fathers of Sun/pter," pasßed through Baker City Thursday en route to hta home in tho latter place, after a visit to Moutana and th«n to Sumpter. General Warren, While in Sumpter, organized a $200.- --000 corporation to work the rick pla cer deposits which underlie the prop erty of the Sumpter Townsite com pany, of which he is president. It is a fact not generally known, but a fact nevertheless, that under the surface of lot in the Sumpter Townsite Company's second addition; to the town of Sumpter lies enough gold to pay the original cost of the lot, if it could be gotten out. A knowledge of this fact has caused the Townsite company to incorporate in. their deeds what is known as a "min era] reservation." which reserves to tiie grantor of the property the right to extract all minerals beneath the surface. Work on these deposits will be started at once according to Gen eral Warren. Read the ads in the Statesman. j CIGARS TOIQAOOO FRUITS m^^^^ GEO. H.

McBRIDE GRILLS STANSELL. In a spec eh delivered a few days ago at the Stevens county fair held at Colville Governor Mcßride took oc casion to pay Ins respects to Senator Stansell and other recreant members of the legislature who violated the pledges they made to their constitu ents regarding railroad legislation. Tiie governor's sentiments were ap plauded to the echo by the three thousand people who heard him. Right thinking people generally will join in this applause. No member of the legislature who proved false to ni.s pledges last winter should ever again be given any position of honor or trust. This is supposed to he a representative government and if the men chosen to represent the people cannot be trusted, our system of gov ernment is a failure. Whatever a cit izen's views may he on the desirabil ity of a railway commission, he should condemn the perfidy of any member of the legislature who vio lates the promises by which he has ■secured his election. In grilling such traitors Governor Mcßride said in part: "But, gentlemen, this wrong will not be righted upon the motion of railway officials themselves. This and other abuses wilj not he corrected until such time as a legislature may be elected winch will be true to the interests of the state as a whole a legislature that will represent the honor am! manhood of the people, in stead of being under the control of skillful lobbyists and corrupt ionists employed by the railroads for the pur pose of debauching it. "No words In the English language are too strong for denouncing the methods employed, and no censure is too severe for the members who, yielding to the blandishments of the lobby, betray their constituents. Our legislatures have contained many honorable, upright men—men who have been a credit to themselves and an lienor to their constituents, and to the state at large—men with an iy, single to the performance of their "But, unfortunately, of late years at least, they have not been hi the majority. Our legislatures have also contained another class, consisting of those who seem proud to wear the livery of the railroads. These are open and above beard in their alleg iance, and do not seek to conceal their views from their constituents, cither before or after election. They seem to regard th e railroads as the source of ail good and of all power, and are amazed at the temerity of any who question the right of their hired agents at the state capital to say what HORSE TIMERS SECONDS For tlio Races M rt l n Jewelry Company. Tested Free at Martin's Optical Parlors. laws shall or shall not be written upon our statute books. The views ot these men, while differing from them, we may at least respect. This class is in a small majority. "There is also a third class, con sisting of men v. ithout moral stamina —without any decided convictions of right or of wrong, some of whom ob tain their seats in the legislature under false pretenses, like Stansell of this county. These men know neither party nor locality. They come from both sides of the moun tains, and from both political parties. They have held the balance of power in our legislatures, and are the ma terial made use of to thwart the will of the people, and to prevent the pas sage of any bill that has not first run the gauntlet of the railroad lobby. "These men have the respect of neither of the two classes I have de scribed, but have the contempt of both. Even the morally seared pro fessional lobbyists, who make use of them, consider themselves superior to them, are ashamed to be seen with them in the broad light of day, and contemptuously fling them aside when they no longer need them. In the lexicon of this class such phrases as civic virtue, or moral courage, or in dependent manhood, or faithfulness to a public trust, or loyalty to con stituents, can not be found. "All the members of this class are not corrupt in the sense that they would accept a money bribe. The moral weaknesses of some of them arc played upon; the vanity of others is appealed to. and the politically am bitious arc made to helieve the path of political preferment is along the way of yielding unquestioning obed ience to the lobby." The Seattle Times on its front page last Saturday had an Olympia dis patch stating that the supreme court had affirmed the decree of the su perior court of Spokane granting Sen ator Turner a divorce. In fact the divorce referred to was granted a brother of Senator Turner, in 1899. The Times showed an amazing lack of information in giving publicity to such an egregious error. Senator Turner has never had any reason for wanting a divorce. He is very hap pily married and his wife is now with him in London, where he is serving as a member of the Alaska boundary commission, both being cordially received by the best English society. The experts are still at work on the county's books at a cost to the tax payers of fifteen dollars a day. The job began it: April and promises to continue as long as the commission ers are willing to pay the bills. So far as known the experts have found nothing worth mentioning, but they will probably spring some sort of a surprise some time in the sweet bye and bye to make it appear that they have earned their money. At Seattle ex-County Treasurer Whittlesey was reported $30,000 short by experts, but under the lime light of a suit in court the amount hay now dwindled to al most nothing. However, the expert dug of the county's books occasionally is a good thing, but t n(l county can hardly afford to keep experts steadily employed the year round at fifteen dollars a day. THE WATER PROBLEM. The water supply for Walla Walla must fulfill the lour following condi tions, given in the order of value: 1. The water supply must be the property of the city. I. The water supply must be the purest obtainable. The water supply must be suffi cient in Quantity for the present needs and future growth of the city. 4. The first cost and the cost of maintenance must be reasonable. The report of Engineer Weile. for which we paid so much and from whom we hoped so much, touches only the third requirement and even that only partialis and. by his own words, throws doubt upon the correct ness of his answer. 1. We have no right to take water from Mill Creek without first acquir ing ownership: which can only be done by purchase or by condemna tion. Engineer Weile fails to include this item in his bill of costs. Expe rience shows that water-rights are never more valuable than when warded by a city.

NEWELL EXPLAINS The Scheie of Govern ■ent Irrifatifj SOME COLOSSI!, PEOJECTS Reclamation of Arid Lands Through th e Storage of Flood Waters. Washington, I>. C. —In response to a suggestion by a correspondent. Prof. W. H. Newell, chief of the Unit ed States reclamation service, dicta ted (be following highly interesting and instructive account of the feder al irrigation undertaking up to date. "The United States reclamation service, under the law of June IV. 1902, has been organized for the pur pose of making surveys and examina tions, and constructing irrigation works for I lie reclamation of the arid lands of the west. The funds for this purpose are derived from the dis posal of public lands in thirteen states and three territories, and the work is confined to these. There is now available upwards of $16,000,00«, and tliis amount is being increased from day to day. "In order t carry out the purpose of the law, an engineering corps has been organized, under civil service rules. each man being selected through competitive examination. These examinations have been based largely on experience in actual planning and construction of irriga tion works About 250 experienced men have thus been obtained, together with some younger men, with good technical education. From time to time other men are being added to the fon c, especially from the graduates of professional methods. The attempt is being made to obtain a force of the most competent men of high principle and undoul ted integrity, as it is be lieved that Ihe great hydraulic works can be planned and built only by men of the highest type. Genera] Study Made. •in each of the states and terri tories a general study is being made of opportunities for reclamation, and two or three projects, especially note w. rthy, are selected for careful sur vey Front a comparison of results one oi these is chosen by the district engineer. When he is ready to report upon the work, with recommendations the facts and figures are submitted to a board of engineers, who pass upon these. Sometimes additional information is sought or the conclu sions are modified. When agreement is reached the results are transmitted to the seer. -ary of the interior, with definite recommendations, for imme diate action, and with full facts as to cost and benefits. Final action is thus taken only after the most criti cal examination of existing conditions ami the comparison of these with other projects. "In some states general reconnais sance is still being carried on; in others plans and estimates have been leted, and in one ease, in Neva da, actual construction has begun. It is hoped that contracts will soon be let for work in several other states. "Under the terms of the law thi works, when built, are to be paid for in ten annual installments, and are ultimately to be owned and operated by the people using the water. The problems befor e the reclamation ser vice are thus not merely engineering in character, but are largely legal and pertaining to the organization of the irrigators into associations, such that the management can be placed in their hands. This is perhaps the most difficult part of the work, name ly, to bring together the discordant elements of a community, torn by conflicts over water, and weld these into a compact organization sufficient ly strong to maintain the works built by the government and distrib ute the water equitably. Storage of Flood Waters. "Reclamation will come about more largely through the storage of flood waters which now run waste in the spring. Wherever suitable ba sins can be found these will be utiliz ed by closing the outlets and catch ing the waters which otherwise would Bow down the steep slopes, devasta ting the lowlands. Many of these stored waters can be brought out by gravity canals to cover the lands ad jacent to the rivers. Much of the better land, however, lies at altitudes too high to be thus reached, and these lands, if irrigated at all, must be sup plied by some form of pumping de vice, or from artesian weils. As the water flows down the steep river channels it cau be occasionally be di verted and power developed, the water being used later for irrigation. This power, carried out by electrical transmission, can be used to pump water to the lands somewhat above the ordinary canals. "It is one of the engineering prob lems of the reclamation service to de velop all of the power possible, and to utilize this in irrigating the higher lands by means of pumning. Another problem is that of discovering the quantity and quality of the under ground waters, and devising means by which these may be brought to the surface, if not too saline, for agricul tural purposes. Thus the work of the engineers is not merely hydraulic In character, it involves mechanical and electrical constructions, and a knowl edge of geological principles which govern the occurence of water under ground. "The easily available waters of the arid region have already been appro priated and put to use by private en-' terprise. leaving for the government only the large, difficult, or involved projects. It is not possible anywhere to find ideal conditions, and al though great results can be accom plished these will be achieved only after great skill and tact has been brought to bear. Criticism has and will be made because of the slow progress in these great works, but when it is remembered that nearly all of these undertakings involve the ap plication, or trial of new methods and devices, and the dealing wdth con siderable numbers of persons, it will be seen that the work requires not merely skill, but time. Individual Lands Utilized. "In the execution of the works it is necessary to utilize lands, rights of way, or privileges owned by Individ uals. Most of these can be acquired by purchase: others must be con demned by process of law. It is not desirable to begin condemnation pro ceedings until all possible efforts have been exhausted to bring about a fair and business-like sale, as it is essential to secure and maintain the THE EVENING STATESMAN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1903. good will of the community. It is considered wise not to force matters but to risk some delay, rather than by main strength to bring about re forms which will be appreciated only after some years. "The government is still the owner of from one-half to nine-tenths of the area of each of the western states "id territories. It is in effect the great iand owuer. and will probably always remain the proprietor of the reat mountain masses covered in part with trees, and from which come the waters essential to the life of ag riculture. Much of the best land in ihe valleys has. however, passed into private ownership, and along every stream is a continuous succession of claims taken up under the homestead or desert law. The public land, as a rule, is on the the bermh land adpa cent to the valleys. Nearly every scheme for the reclamation of gov ernment land must of necessity in volve the irrigation of lands in pri vate ownership. The provisions of the law are such that the lands owned by individuals can be irrigated in mall tracts, not to exceed 16u acres being allowed to each individual. Great care is being taken to have this feature of the law enforced in such a way as to require continuous residence and cultivation of the land, whether originally in private or pub lic ownership, the chief purpose being ■o bring about immediately a dense settlement in small, self-sustaining farms. "In the various projects under con sideration are all extremes, from those where nearly all the land is in public ownership, to those where most of the land is now owned by individ uals. In the latter case th e lands are now, for the most part, vacant, ultivation having been attempted with an inadequate supply of water, and failure ensued. If the land in pri vate ownership were already irrigat ed, there would of course be no need of governmental interference, but in the majority of instances settlers have come in, witu good faith, and tried to make homes. In any event, whether they have or not, they can now obtain water under the law, only by residence and cultivation in small tracts, thus bringing about the intent of the act. How Project Is Worked. "Whenever a project for reclama tion of government land is declared to be feasible, public lands under *t are immediately taken up, under the terms of the homestead law, and by the time the works are completed tne land is all in private ownership. Thus, whatever the initial condition may be, whether the arid land was owned at first by the government or by indiv uals, the results are the same, name ly the establishment of homes upon small farms. "Where the land holdings in the hands of an individual or corporation are large, water for these cannot he obtained until they are subdivided and disposed of in small tracts to actual settlers. These men must reside con tinuously for five or ten years upon the land, and cultivate it before a clear title to the water can be had from the government. Thus, collu sion, or evasion, of the purpose of the law is to a large extent prevented. In a rapidly growing country it is hardly credible that any collusion to obtain water can hold throughout a long period, especially with danger of forfeiture at the end of that time. "The main feature of the law is to secure the development of the arid region and the utilization of the great, resources which experience has shown cannot be put to beneficial employ ment by private enterprise, and which if properly utilized, becomes the greatest sources of strength to the commonwealth, through the creation of homes. It matters little wdiether the lands thus utilized happen to be at the time of consruction in private or public ownership. The main thing is to secure ultimately the building of homes and the placing of these in the hands of the people who become self-supporting and who can and will refund to the government the cost of reclamation. This is an object in which not only the government, but all classes of citizens, and most in dustries, are interested. Benefits Railroads. 'The transcontinental railroads re cognize that they will be first bene ficiaries, and the continuous gainers by this home building movement and they have contributed largely to the success of the movement. Some of them have land to sell, it is true, but the profit for the sale of the land is as nothing compared to the annual traffic resulting from the establish ment of innumerable small homes. The railroads might sell the lands to cattlemen, but as a matter of business it would be far better to donate them to setlers living on irrigated farms. The manufacturing and jobbing inte rests of the east have also contribut ed to this work, as they believe that in the west is the greatest hom e mar ke for manufactured products. "It has sometimes been held up as a reflection against the advocates of national irrigation that the great rail roads and manufacturers of the east are interested and have contributed time and influence to the cause, but in this direction the interest of the people of the country and 'that of the railroads and industrial organiza tions are identical, namely, to bring together the man who is seeking a home and ilie opportunities for mak ing one. "Private enterprise has by no means ceased, as there are many localities where irrigation works car. 1 and are being, built by individual and. corporations, but the great works can never be commercially successful, and vast tracts of fertile land will be condemned to sterility unless the government intervenes, as it is now doing, through the operation of the reclamation law. If this law is suc cessfully administered thousands of pprosperous homes will be made in localities now waste and desolate, and the commonwealth strengthened by the addition of a conservative prosperous class of citizens." IN THE SUPREME COURT. Cas e Decided of Interest to Lumber Industry. Olympia.—That a vendor can not be held responsible for a latent defect in a manufactured article sold by him is a new principle established by a decision of th e supreme court today. The cou*t in making the ruling, states that no authorities bearing di rectly on the question could be found. The question is of especial interest to the lumber industry, in that it relieves loggers of responsibil ity for accidents arising from burst ing saws caused by leaving broken iron hooks in sawlogs. The question arose in just such a case. Ceorge J. Ketchum. a Stanwood merchant, was suing the Stetson 9.28. the value of a boom of logs, and the mill company set up a cross-claim of $358.1*'. for damages arising out of the bursting of a saw caused by striking tiie iron point of a hook or dog left in a log, and which could not he detected from the out side. It was clearly shown that Ketch um had no knowledge of the fact. In the judgment, affirmed today, Ketch um is relieved of all responsibility, and gets the full amount of his claim. The judgment of the superior court of Spokane county has been reversed in the case of the city of Spokane, re spondent, vs. Peter Costello, et ah. appellants. Costello had a contract to grade a street in Spokane, and gave a bond to hold the city harm less for any claim for damages aris ing out of the contract. While the work was going on, Phillip Born fell in a cut and was injured. He brought suit against the city and secured a verdict for $1,750.50. This suit was to compel Costello to pay the amount of the judgment under his bond. The city was successful in the lower court, but was v versed in the su preme court thi'. ugh failure to show that the accident occurred on the street which Costello was grading. A new trial is ordered. The supreme court has sustained the superior court of Thurston coun ty in the litigation between Judge T. M. Reed, jr., of the Second judicial district of Alaska, and Capt. J. G. Parker, of this city, over the owner ship of the home occupied by the captain in East Olympia. Th e litiga tion hinged on the question as to whether a former transfer of the property was in fact a mortgage or simply had a condition redemption, the right of which had expired. Capt. Parker was successful in his conten tion in the lower court, and the judg ment the higher court has sustained. HOW'S THIS?

TIN FOUND NORTH OF NOME. Discovery Her?!ded As Greatest Known, Butte, Mo: L, Oct. 3. —A hundred foot ledge of tin ore has been dis covered nea v Lest river in the Cape York district, north of Cape Nome, it is believed to be the greatest dis covery of tin ore known anywhere. A hundred pounds of sample rock have been brought down for shipment to Pittsburg, together with small bricks of tin reduced at Nome. Details of the discovery are giver, by Joseph Hutchinson, former lieuten ant-governor of Idaho, who has bond ed eight of seventeen claims whicn embrace the ledge so far uncovered. Hutchinson represents eastern cap italists associated with the American Tin Plate company. Upon his arri val at Teller, he met Arthur Collie, of the geological survey, who inform ed him of the discovery of the th. ledge which overshadows in import ance the streak of tin previously found through the Cape York district.

A slim crowd saw Walla Walla's Seventh annual fruit fair relegated to history last night. Whether it was due to the prayers of those opposed to the fair being opened on Sunday or the drizzling rain that persisted in pelting down, pretty much through the afternoon and evening is not known, though both were probably contributing causes. Considering that on two days of the fair it rained, the total attendance for the week lacked only 639 of equaling the attendance of last year. The thousand excursionists expected from Pendleton and way points yesterday dwindled away to 250 owung to the rain and as it was a trifle too moist for town people to venture out in an y great numbers, the attendance at the pavilion last night was only a trifle more than on the opening night. Although the week had been a try ing one on the band the program ren dered last night was one of the best Siven and was greatly appreciated by the throng. At the conclusion of the program when the time was fast ap proaching when the fair would be come a matter of history the seated audience rose as if one and showed its appreciation of the band's efforts by prolonged cheering. Saturday's attendance broke all previous records for attendance, the paid admissions being estimated at over 7000. The baby show in the af ternoon was a drawung card and over 25 fond mammas had their ''darlings" on exhibition. Dan Fishell of Ellery's hand and J. R.

DELANEY DEAD Internal Hemorrhage Follow ed an Operation A PROMINENT PIONEER WOMAN Crossed the Plains to California in the Early Days—A Resident of Walla Walla for 26 Years. Mrs. Olive F. Delaney, wife of George F. Delaney and one of Walla Walla's most prominent pioneer wo men, died early Sunday morning at St Mary's hospital of internal hem orrhage, following an operation for a tumor of long standing, performed Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Delaney rallied nicely from the operation and the highest hopes were entertained tor her speedy recovery. Early in the morning she was seized with a vomit ing spell and in her paroxysms rup tured a blood vessel. Despite prompt medical attention she gradually sank into a comatose state, passing away an hour later. Her death came as a shock to a wide circle of acquaint ances. The funeral will take place from her late residence, 422 East Rose street, tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. Austin Rice, pastor of the First Congregational church offi ciating.

Th e fol lowing year her parents crossed the plains by emigrant trains to the gold fields of California, settling at Can yon Creek. The family resided there until 1564 and then moved to Salem, Or., where the deceased was married to Mr. Delaney. Soon afternward Mr. Delaney became interested in the stock business in the Crab creek coun try, about 70 miles west of the pres ent site of Spokane and for seven years they made their home in the stock country.

Several years ago Mr. Delaney purchased the town home at East Rose and Touchet streets and the family have made Walla Walla their residence since then. Mrs. Delaney was the mother of eight children, six of whom survive her as follows: Mrs. Sarah Jenkins of Ellensburg; Miss Roxie, Henry, Bert, George and Howard.

The board of county commission ers in regular session today partially fixed the tax levy for general anJ county purposes at 16 mills, or 2 mills higher than last year's levy. County Auditor Honeycutt filed with the board an estimate of the county's ex penditures for next year together with a statement of the existing finances, showing that there will be a possible deficit in the current expense fund j before the 1903 taxes will become I due. The levy as decided upon today is as follows: Mills State general fund 2.75 State cshool fund 5.39 State military fund 11 County current expenses 5.50 County School fund 50 Certified to audtor for general road and bridge purposes 1.75 Total 16 00 A levy of 5 mills ca the taxable property of school district No. 1, was voted to maintain the schools of the district for the coming year as esti mated by the hoard of education.

GOLDMAN'S, Leading Clothier, Hatter and Men's Furnisher. Third and Main St*, JAB other purposes 9 000 Total $51,000 i The above estimate is based on the I amount expensed on tiie current ex j c fund during the fiscal year com -1 j nienc-i:. July 1. 1902, and ending June j tO, 1903. The amount oi* cash in the current expense fund October 1. 1903, was j $9,206.15. The total amount of taxes uncollected on the current expense 1 fund for the year 1902 en the last day of October. 1903, was $10,149.00 and estimating that the fees of the sev eral county offices up to March 1. 1904, will amount to $2500, there will be provided the taxes are all paid in, about $21,856.15 to be placed to the credit of this fund during the next five months. Estimating that the warrants to he issued and those out standing at this date will be about $26,299.59, this fund will be overdrawn by March 1, 1904. In view of the fact that the disbursements on this fund has exceeded the estimate of last year over $4,000, I would recommend that the levy for the current expense purpose be increased this year. The road and bridge fund was over drawn on the first day of October, 1903, in the sum of $107.37 and there were outstanding warrants at that time to the amount of $6,705.94 which added to the overdraft would make a total indebtedness in this fund of $6,813.31. As an offset to this indebt edness there was uncollected on the 1902 tax rolls in this fund the sum of $2,271.42. Should the expense of this department be as great as it was the past year it will require an in creased levy on this fund to take up a)l the outstanding warrants and meet all necessary expenses of bridge work. There is no indebtedness in the county school fund and on October 1, 1903, there was $32,506.70 in the coun ty school fund and the school dis tricts' funds. I estimate there will be sufficient money, with the large ap portionment we are receiving from the state to maintain the schools of the county without making any great er levy for his purpose this year than was made in 1902. Under the new road law the board will be required to make and certify to the county auditor a special levy in the three road districts established at your meeting held in September. The valuation of all taxable property in each of the said districts is as fol- TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY.
