INAPREDICAMENT
PLACE MUST BE FOUND FOR
LEGISLATURE.
Word Received That Roof Trusses
for New Capitol Will Not Arrive
Before January 1---Old Building
in Dilapidated Condition and Re.
quires Much Repairing.

Olympia, Nov. 12.-Where the next
legislature will meet is now up to the
secretary of state, 70 it has been decid-
ed by the attorney general. The capt.
toll commission has received word that
the roof trusses would not be shipped
until December l, so they cannot possi-
big arrive here before January l..
When this word was received Governor
Mcbride asked Attorney General STRAIT
ton for an opinion as to whose duty it
was to provide quarters for the next
legislature. The attorney replied as
above stated.
When questioned regarding where
the legislature would meet, the Sec
rotary of state said that it was the
intention to provide tirst-class quarters
for the session. but that no definite
arrangements had been made. From
the reply of the secretary it is thought
the old capitol will be used, as the
state librarian, who is the custodian
of the old building and who is required
by law to report on the condition Of the
building to the secretary go days before
the session, has reported that it is i'll a
very delapidated condition and would
require considerable repairing before it
can be occupied. Governor Mcbride
and the secretary of state will probably
take the matter up and the secretary
will announce the meeting place within
a few DAYS.

Dog with DidmOnd Tooth.

A dog with diamond SGT in one of
it's front teeth was in Philadelphia re-
Gently. 1t was here for medical treat
ment. and during Its stay In the dog
ward of veterinary hospital uptown
it astonlshed everybody with its clever
ness.
A French poodle, it had chic that the
nurses said was truly Partisan. 1t had
also innumerable tricks. You would,
for instance, say to it, "show your dia-
mond TOOTH" and 1t would curl back
its lip in such a manner that the dia-
mOnd would glitter.
The dog belongs to wealthy woman
of Trenton, N. J. She had the brilliant
set in its tooth two years ago. What
gave her the idea of this, says the
Philadelphia Record, was undoubtedly
the sensational story, printed long ago,
of the blaze Of diamonds that illumines
the mouth Of Fitzsimmons, the pugi-
list.

ARE ALL VERY BITTER.
Other Operators File Their Answers
to Mitchell's Statement.

Washington, D. g., Nov. 13.-The
answers of the anthracite operators to
Mitchell's statement have been made
public by Recorder Wright of the arbi-
tration commission. They follow the
generalities of Baer's statement given
out yesterday. They are even more
bitter in their denunciation of the
United Mine Workers. President Fow-
Ter says that the advent of the miners
organization in the anthracite field
marked the beginning of an almost
total decentralization among the men.
He says that its tyranny over fellow
employees has resulted in decrease in
the efficiency OF the service and an
increase an the number OF strikes.
Truesdale ia particularly bitter. He
lays great stress upon the Importance
of in no wise recognizing the miners
organization. He says that the federal
courts have declared the organization to
be unlawful and says that it is seeking
to gain the enforced enrolment of all
the miners in America; that its princi-
pies Cypress industrious laborers down
to the level of sluggards; that it has
not in the past hesitated, and there is
no reason to believe that it will in the
future hesitate, to sacrifice life, liberty
and property to gain its vicious and
temporary ends.
ELEPHANT objects to any recognition
of the order, in more temperate Ian
guage. He sums up by saying that its
constantly shifting membership renders
it incapable of making contract that
will be binding, effective and lasting.

Report of Normal scoool.

Olympia, Nov. 12.-In submitting to
Governor Mcbride the biennial report
of the Ellensburg Normal school the
trustees say:
1.-THE trustees would call attention to
the steady and substantial growth of
this institution through its whole his
tory, especially during the past two
years. Established in 1890, opened
September 6, 1891, provided with a
building in. 1898, centrally and most
favorably located, it has drawn stu
dents from all parts of the state and
furnished trained teachers to nearly
every county. In 1899 the enrolment
had risen to 23O and represented 26
counties, but in consequence of the
establishment of the one at Cheney the
following year, the attendance fell to
122 in 1900. The next year, however,
it increased to 143, and this year there
are. on October l., 100 in attendance,
an increase over last year at this date
of II. These 100 represent l6 counties,
the largest representation coming from
Kittitas, Pierce, Yakima, King and
Thurston. in the order named.
"The number of graduates to date is
POI of whom 1876 are at present engaged
in educational work as teachers or
superintendent. More than hundred
others who hold elementary certificates,
and many more who have taken a
partial course for teaching here, are
serving in the public schools of the
state.''

MITCHELL HEARD
COAL STRIKE COMMISSION SITTING
JUDICIALLY.
Mitchell the First Witness-..Nfakes
Statement of His Side of the
Case and Is Cross Examined by
President ,WilcOx--.NOt Much De.
veleped.

Scranton, Nov. 15.-The arbitration
commission met for it's first judicial
session. Both sides were represented
by great array of counsel. Many
wagon loads OF records were carted into
the courtroom by the operators. Sew
enty-five witnesses have been called by
the miners, and everything indicates a
long-drawn hearing. The independent
operators intends to make special
fight against the recognition of the
union, and in this they are backed by
the coal presidents.
John Mitchell was the first witness.
He was regularly sworn and asked for a
statement of the miners side OF the
case. AT the outset he said that the
sole hope of future peace between en-
ployers and employees is satisfactory
adjustment by the action of the arbitra-
ton commission. Mitchell then re-
viewed the demands of the miners at
length, quoting figures constantly, in
support of the claims he put forth.
Mitchell dwelt strongly and at con-
siderable length upon the danger of the
anthracite miners occupation. He said
that each day of the operation of the
mines costs the lives of two and 1-l6th
men, and the mai ming of three times
that number. Nevertheless. he said,
the men working in these mines receive
less pay than the workers in the blum
minous fields, under less hazards, and
in many ways more favorable condition.
He asserted that the lives of all miners
are limited, and that all of them suffer
from asthma.
Mitchell said that the ton weight
basis of measurement was the one great
vital question which has caused more
trouble than many others combined.
He explained in detail why he consid-
ers it unfair to the miners.
The Mine Workers president gave
reasons why there should be trade
agreement recognizing the order of the
United Mine Workers. He affirmed
that in the bituminous regions where
such recognition has existed for some
time, there have been no strikes of any
magnitude since the agreements went
into effect. He claimed that the disci-
PiAAO nhN OAAiClOiCy Va WV VI SOAAAssNAOA
is such that it assumes full responsible
ity in all dealings with employers, and
enforces implicit obedience from its
members.
Mitchell closed with an eloquent APP
peal to the commission to exercise its
influence for the adoption of system
that will prevent children from being
forced into the mines, through the in
sufficiency OF the income of parents to
provide for their families.
After MITCHELL address he was cross
examined by President Wilcox. The
examination was directed along lines
intended to show the weakness of the
constitution of the United Mine Work.
ers. Wilcox sought to show that
Mitchell is possessed of supreme power
in the organization. The result OF
several hours questioning produced
little beyond bringing out Mitchell's
views of economic conditions in the
mining region.

A False Report.

We understand the report is in
circulation that we are going to close
out our business in Weiser. We
wish to say we never told anyone
we we're gong out Of business, and
never had any intention of doing 80.
We are here to stay and intend TO
make this our permanent home.
Our business has been entirely salts
factory since coming here, and we
don't want anyone to think we are
closing out because we are selling
goods so reasonably. Our motto
has always been quick sales, small
profits and one price to all and will
continue to be SO as long as We re-
main in business, which we hope will
be long time. Thanking our many
friends and customers for their liberia
patronage and soliciting a contin
uance Of same, we remain.

Of battle between sheep and cattle
men in the New Fork country last
Friday. Twentysix fiocks of sheep
belonging to Rock Spring parties
passed over THE deadline established
by the cattlemen of that vicinity, and
we're attacked by $50 masked men
and one herder killed and at least
1000 head of sheep we're destroyed.
The balance of the herders we're
driven away from their locks and
the pack outfits and their belongings
burned.
+ The cattlemen surrounded the
sheep camp, held up at the muzzle
of shotguns and rifles the entire force
of sheepmen and burned their be-
longs, including the coats which they
wore. They then lined them up
and bhndfolded them, marching the
lot some distance over the rough
mountain roads, after which they
twere ordered to hit the trail and
should they return their lives would
pay the forfeit
Later reports state that 1000
sheep were killed.
