JUDGE TURNER.
A Tribute to His Ability and Fit

Judge Turner of Spokane is regarded
by all as the ablest of tho senatorial
aspirants. He is tall, finely moulded
man, of commanding presence, and his
general dsmeanor and appearance are
such that one can not help but admire
him. He Is one Of the best lawyers in
the state, and Is q good common-sense
talksr of the analytical order. There
Is nothing bonibastic or ostcnta-
tious about him. In fact he
is so much tho opposite
that 1t has been charged that no is not
convivial, not even genial. He rarely
says anything Of his candidacy, while
the others, with the exception of General
Sprague, arc continually urging their
claims. Judge Turner'S candidacy has
been q big advertisement for him.
He has many friends among
those who recognize his abilities, and
had he begun his fight before
so many had pledged their votes to
Allen, It is not unlikely he would have
secured the first option on the East side
senatorship. Judge Turner is young
man yet, being just little more than
old enough to be eligible to the senator
ship. Some day the people of Eastern
Washington will demand him for sena-
tor, and he will be elected.

Anders the I'm animou Choice for
chief Justise.
Justice Stiles of the supreme court ar
rived from Tacoma late ~ night and
was sworn In this morning by Probate
Judge Root. Five slips Of paper, two of
which were marked three, two five and
one seven, were placed in a hat and the
justices held a drawing to determine the
length OF their terms.
Scott was the first 10 try his luck, and
drew the figure three.
Anders followed, and got the other
short term.
Stiles and Dunbar drew the fve-year
terms, leaving the soven-year term in
the hat for Justice Hoyt.
II then devolved upon the three long
term judges to elect either Justice Scott
or Justice Anders chief justice. At
Scotts request Anders, who is the older
man, was made the unanimous choice OF
the court.
The court then elected Sol Smith OF
Goldendale clark and adopted the rules
of the last territorial supreme court for
the present, and adjourned until the
first Monday in January.
Chief Justice Anders was born in
Seneca county, Ohio, in 1888, and was
admitted to tho bar at Ann Arbor,
Mich, in 1868. lie has lived in Walla
Wslla since 1871, and has been elected
prosecuting attorney of that district for
five terms. For many years he was tho
law partner of Thomas II. Brents, one
of the senatorial aspirants. Judge An
ders left for home this afternoon, on re-
ccipt of news of the ssrious illness of
his wife, and will probably not be here
to administer the oath OF office to Cover
nor Ferry.

Camp Near Portland.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 13.-l.ast night
three men wearing masks attacked a
Chinese wood chopping camp
near this city and attempted
to rob the Cinnamon. The
mon drew pistols and demanded money.
Two Cinnamon who were armed with
hatchets made vigorous resistance.
A general fight ensued, In which
one of the two robbers was
cut about the head and face so badly
that he died soon after. One of the
Cinnamon was shot several times, and Is
thought to be fatally wounded. Another
robber was also badly chopped with
hatchet. The second Chinaman, al
though fired at several times, escaped
without injury.
Both of the tramps managed to make
their escape and have not yet been cap
turod.
The dead robbers name is Myron

years ago he was arrested in Southern
Oregon for robbing stage. and SEN

the evident object of making raid.
The other two robbers will doubtless be
captured soon,

Headquarters.

Were the senatorial aspirants of Ore
gon to sweep down on Salem and make
their fights in the way the Washington
candidates have been carrying the war
into Africa here tor nearly two weeks,

shocked aud the prohibitionists would
be tempted to meet and pass the pro-
verbal resolution, Whereas, God made
the world for the saints, be 1t resolved,
that we are the saints"
Each candidate has established his
Headquarters where his workers and
callers are supplied with cigars, and in
most of them drinkables are dealt out.
Ex- Governor Squire has the largest
and most luxurious quarters. He is es-

PACIFIC ROADS.
Meeting Of the Senatorial Committed
OF Investigation.

KANSAS CRY, Nov. l3.--The senatorial
committee to investigate Pacific road,
arrived here this morning. They were
delayed by snow storms In Western
Kansas They spent the day inspecting
the Union Pacific terminus here.
In an interview this evening Senator
Frye said two things had been deter
mined upon by the investigation; first,
the government security for the debt oil
the Pacific roads was ample; second,
the business of the roads indicated that
the debt should be paid VI reasonable ex.
tension were given by the government.
1t was probable, therefore, that the com
mittce would recommend an extension
of time, say ftty years.

STILL THE FIGHT GOES ON.
All tho Candidates Arc Hopeful of
Election.

OLYMPIA, Nov. l2.-The senatorial
fight continues. Now that 1t has been
settled that there is to be ballot next
Tuesday, and that there will be o oues-
tion as to its legality, the adhercnts OF
Thompson, Turner, Sprague and Brents
are making their final attack on the
lines of Allen and Squire. Thompson il
confident that he will yet defeat the ex-
governor, and keeps clamoring for the
support Of the Pierce county delegation.
His friends tell the people what Thomp-
son would do if General Sprague would
only Withdraw and throw hi.
support to the Tacoma banker. General
Spraguc, on the other hand, maintains
a dignifed silence, and insists that he
has no intention Of withdrawing.
Turner and Brents are confident that
they will beat Allen, whose friends pay
no attention to the boasts of the opposi-
tion. They say ii Squire is elected frs t,
and Allen then comes up for election,
they will surely beat him, but If the two
are proposed at the same time, the
chances of either Brents or Turner would
not be so good.
The Squire and Allen men say their
forces are SO strongly organized that the
attacks Of the enemy amount to the but
ting of their heads against stone wall.
