The fourteenth annual meeting of
the Washington State Press Assocla-
ton met in New Whatcoin Wednesday,
July 10th and held three d tys most
profitable and successful session. One
hundred and fifty editors were present.
The railroads OF the state, the North
ern Pacific aud Great Northern, over
which we had the pleasure Of travelling
upon free transportation for the editor
and wife, acted most liberal and cour-
teous in every way and will alwayr he
kindly remembered by US rs one OF the
happy events Of life and for which we
are extremely grateful, especially the
n. +. through whose Oblising officials
we were enabled to traverse the state.
That the people who pass their lives
principally while in the ''throes OF
composition" were royalty entertained
wherever they Glanced to go, is put
ting it mild Everyone was made
welcome. The kindly interest shown
for our comfort and welfare by the
good citizens OF the twin cities OF Bel
lingham bay, New Whatcom and Fair
haven, was fully appreciated By the
happy guests,
Badges were furnished which enti-
tied the wearer to free transportation
over the street railways, special ar
engagements were made at the various
hotels, and nothing left undone that
could have been done for jolly good
time for the editors and their families.
During our stay many places OF inter-
est were visited among which were
the fish traps in the gulf.
Two very pleasant excursions were
arranged and carried ont. One was on
the trolley cars to Lake Whateom and
the other was to Semiahmo spit near
Blaine, on the steamer sehomc, which
was chartered for the occasion and
which carried three hundred and
twenty seven excursionisss. This trip
occupied whole day and the ride on
the Sound, in and out among the
islands which abound in those waters

EASTERN WASHINGTON FARMERS
Petition the Railroads fer a Reduction
OF Frs;ght Rates.

j
The following petition addressed to
the Northern Pacific, Great Northern
and Union Pacific RAILWAY companies
is being circulated for the signatures
OF farmers and business men of East
elm Washington:
Gentlemen: Ne, the undersigned,
citizens of Eastern Washington and
patrons OF your road, especially petit
tlon and represents: That being heavy
shippers, oar interests are closely
identified with yours; that during the
present season OWING TO
the low price OF grain, aud the nigh
price OF labor, sacks, Irvine and all
things pertaining to placing our grain
on the market, we vii! have nothing
lett after the sale OF the 1900 crop, un-
less we get relief OF some kind; that
this condition would materially de-
crease the incoming and outgoing
height IN this section for several years
to come; that owing to the present
freight rate from this section to the
coast, coupled with high charters
caused by foreign wars, We can see no
relief in view unless your road would
declare an emergency and Assist US IN
TINS Crisis by making an emergency
rate ON wheat OF rot more than 2jcts
per bushel to Chicago, or 20 cts per
bnshel to Duluth, Minneapolis and
st. Paul; that your petitioners would
greatly appreciate such action and
know that only through such n
measure will Eastern Washington and
neighboring territory be able to avoid
a crash similar to the one oi 1893, n
repetition OF which would be equally
disastrous to you and to us; that it Is
absolutely necessary for the mutual
benefit OF your road and your petit
TONERS that you act iayorably and
promptly
Owing to the light crop III some Of
the eastern parts OF the state, coupled
with low prices, some kind OF relief is
in order for the farmer. Spring wheat,
oats and barley are not over a half
crop and it is said in certain sections
will not pay to harvest. Grain gener-
ally is falling % per cent. below the
estimated yield and everything per-
tainng 10 the harvesting OF the crop
is high. The only apparent hope is
in obtaining reduced railway rates
enabling easte!nstipment 81 the grain.
Concerted and intelligent action may
possibly induce the transportation
companies to comply with therequest
OF the foregoing petition. 1t will be
necessary Ior each man to sign all
three petitions.
There is no business man in Adams
county who cannot afford to give this
matter his time and attention, for il
the petition is needed, it means many
thousands OF dollars to Eastern Wash
ingtun, rs the rate asked would add IL
cents to every bushcl OF grain shipped.
The time in which to present the
matter is short and ii any action is
taken it must he done ener etically
aud promptly. The petitions for sig
natures Of Adams county people will
be found at the pOstofti,e "a this ely.

L. Jensen, of the city schools, re-
turned yesterday afternoon from
Helena, where they attended n meet
ing OF the trustees and superintend-
ents OF the principal districts OF the
state. In connection with commit
tee of the Montana State Teachers
association, at which defects in the
school law were discussed and an
agreement reached concerning amend.
ments to the law which are neces-
sary. 1t was decided to employ eoun-
sci to draft the proposed amend
ments, which will be presented To the
legislature at the earliest possible
date.
Speaking of the meeting Mr.. Lar
gent said that some Of the news
papers OF the state had given the er-
roneous impression thnt the action
OF the meeting was not harmonious
on all questions. 1t ia true, he said,
that when the different subjects were
first presented there was some differ
ence OF opinion, but all questions
were fully discussed, and when the
meeting adjourned yesterday morn
ing all were unanimous in support of
the changes which had been recon-
mended and all feltconfident that the
legislature would take the action de-
sired.
The school laws were found to he
in very bad shape, but they were
thoroughly reviewed, and II the legis-
lature will follow the recommends
tions OF the meeting Montana will
soon have the best school law everin
effect in the state.
Perhaps the most Important mat
TER discussed was that concerning
taxation for school purposes. II
was decided to recommend that the
county commissioners Of every coun-
ty be- authorized To make general
school levy OF not less than / nor
more than mills, the revenue from
this levy to he appOrtloncd among
the districts oi each county accord.
ing - iopulltlun. Ii addition "a
this general levy each district is To
be authorized, subject to vote of the
electors. to levy special tax Of, say,
not to exceed mills. This plan will
stop the robbery oi some districts,
like Great Falls, for the benefit OF
Others, and it will not injure the
schools of any district. State Super
intendent Carleton was at first op-
posed to this plan, but he was chal-
lengcd to name a single district in
the state which would be injured Icy
1t. He found that he could not dUsu
and then he agreed to the plan. 1t
will also be provided by the proposed
law that. in anticipation of reven-
ues, each district may borrow money
to meet current expenses. Prac-
tically all districts IN tue state are
now bankrupt. and, as special taxes,
II they should be authorized, will not
be available until December of next
year. II will be necessary for many OF
the districts to borrow money for the
maintenance of the schools for the
ensuing year.
Observation-Disclosures will
concern the reiunding OF bonds. At
present thelaw authorizes the refund
ing OF maturing bonds only and pro-
hibits the refunding of redeemable
bonds. Many districts have out
standing redeemable bonds which
bear interest at per cent. II the
Jaw were changed these bonds could

GAME PROVES SUCCESSFUL
In Nine Cases Out Of Tcn--- --Fraternal
Feeling Inspires Victim to Fork Over
q Dollar or Two...O Other Neiahbor- y
ing Cities Worked by This
Confidence Man.

A clever swindie is being worked on
secret society members in Canton, ac-
cording to the statement of a business
man who is staying at a local hotel,
but who desires that his name be Kept
out of the newspapers.
The bunco 'steerer in question repre-
sents that he is a tourist en- route to
Chicago, Cleveland, or any other city
that he might taken it into his head to
mention. He evidently is a member Of
several fraternal orders, for he seems
well posted on lodge matters. 1t Is his
game to approach his victim, say that
he is Just over from Europe and that
his scalper's ticket has just expired.
His baggage, he explains, has gone on
to it's destination, and his purse is in
his trunk. These alleged facts are mem
toned incidentally while the fellow is
conversing with his brother Mason"
He adds that he stopped off in Canton,
this being the presidents home, to see
McKinley's famous front porch and he
missed his train, leaving him stranded
in this city.
The fraternal feeling inspires the To-
cal lodge member to go down in his
pocket and fork over dollar or two,
which will be surely returned"
The game has proven very success
full in Canton, but this city is not the
only place that is being worked" by
this alleged confidence man. Several
other neighboring cities have been Wis.,
tied by the tourist whose scalper's
ticket has expired"
