Mankind,s Earliest Home.

The teaching of Max Muller that the human race was cradied in Northern India has been hitherto generally accept ed. Muller determined the origin of a people by their language. The view now adopted by q number of ethnoiogists is that shown by the work of Professor Hfrt. who thinks that he can fix the primitive home of the Aryans in the ter Titory north of the Carpathian mountains near the boundary line between Austria Hungary and Russia, now occupied by .etts and Lithunians.

DECISION is REVERSED.
Heirs Not Entitled to Damages for
the Death of Their Father.

Olympia-The supreme court has
filed an opinion which reverses the
Skagit county superior court in case
brought by the minor heirs of Andrew
Reidhead against Skagit county. In
this case the county is the appellant
from a judgment awarded to the re-
spondent for $1,000 damages, sustain
ed by the death of their father which.
it was alleged, was due to negligence
on the part Of the county.
Reidhead met his death, presuma-
bly, by falling from a county bridge
which was in an unsafe condition
owing to the absence Of guard rails
The reason given by the supreme
court for the reversal is that the evil
dence in the case does not prove con-
clusively that Reidhead fell from the
bridge
No one saw the fall, and the body
was found lying on the upper side Of
the bridge, where it is possible it
might have been conveyed by some
one who had murdered him and plac-
ed the body there to divert suspicion.
Or he might have met death. by
stumbling into the ravine before at
tempting to cross the bridge. The di-
rections of the court are to dismiss
the action

LYNcHERS TALKED OUT OF JOB.
Alleged Tacoma Forger Was Put to
Sea in an Open Boat.

Sea in an Open Boat.
Tacoma.-A man with a record is
O. l.. Wrolson, who is on trial, before
Police Judge Griffin for forgery.
Wrolson went to Atlin in search OF
the Golden Fleece. Not finding it, he
took a water right, which he sold for
$4,000 The fact that he had no color
of claim to the right did not appar-
emily trouble him until a delegation
of citizens with a rope appeared at
his cabin door.
Wrolson begged and entreatej, but
the vigilance committee was obdur-
ate. and leading him to convenient
tree, he was strung up. His pleas for
mercy and entreaties, however, had
their effect, and at the solicitation
of several of the party he was lowered
and given a chance to explain. Wrol-
son got his breath and began a loren
sic stunt" for life.
The story he told was so plausible
that conservative counsel prevailed
among the lynchers. While it was
agreed not to hang him, it was also
decided that the Alaska climate was
too rigorous for his constitution, and
he was ordered to leave the country.
He was taken to the coast and placed
in an open boat and compelled to put
to sea.

A LESSON FROM SALEM.

1t might be we'll for the mayor and
council in seeking a solution Of the
water problem to study the conditions
at Salem, Oregon. That city is now
suffering from an epidemic Of ty-
phoid fever, which the state board Of
health, after thorough investigation,
has declared to be due to contami-
mated water supply. Salem's water
comes from Mill creek, branch of
the Willamette, and the system is
the same as that recommended for
Walla Walla by Engineer Weile. The
water is taken directly from the
creek several miles above the town,
and after passing through filtration
beds is brought to the city for use.
The people have been told for a long
time that the water was made abso-
lutely pure by the process of fltra-
ton, but an examination by the state
board of health has demonstrated that
it is full of typhoid germs.
If Walla Walla's water supply were
taken from Mill creek there would be
times during spring freshets when it
would not be fit for use owing to the
great quantities of manure, putrefy-
ing animal matter and other impuri-
ties that it would contain.
Certainly the people Of this city
will never vote to pay s350,O0O for
such a water system as that.

will beat Weile's Mill creek PROPOSE
ton ten to one.
The Weile proposition would cost
nearly 100000, with no allowance for
filtration beds or riparian rights, and
these would eventually cost the city
not less than $4,000 more. The
water system has already cost $780,
600 and the people are hardly dispos-
ed to increase that cost by $3.50, 900
at one fell swoop, not matter how
much it might accommodate favored
individuals.
The Weile proposition would bank
rupt the city and how any man hav-
ing the interests of the people at
heart can favor it is beyond ordinary
cOnceptiOn

TACOMA AND WALLA WALLA.

An opportunity to visit Walla Wal
Ia will be afforded next week. when
an excursion train will be run from
Tacoma and Seattle, the special at

Be established between the Sound
cities and the thriving and prosper
Gus section of the state of which Wal
la Walla is the emporium. Enormous
quantities of Walla Walla wheat are
bought by Tacoma millers and ex-
pOrters and brou ght to this city. Some
of the Tacoma jobbers canvass that
territory and secure a share of its
trade. But business intercourse be-
tween Tacoma and Walla Walla is
not what it should be, owing to the
superior railway facilities which are
afforded between Walla Walla and
Portland. The journey from Tacoma
to Walla Walla involves a change AMI
possibly a long wait at Pasco, and
unless recent change has been made
in the schedule only one passenger
rain a day makes the trip from Pas
co to Walla Walla The Washington
Z Columbia railway winds in a cir
CuitOus route through the Eureka fiat
and secures for the Northern Pacific
railway the wheat Of that rich belt

A COMMON SENSE PLAN.

The plan Of developing water at
Thomas springs advocated by Coun-
cilmen Smith and Boyer was first pro-
posed by Hydraulic Engineer Samuel
Sporrow. who is one of the most COM
petent men in his line on the Pacific
coast. If good flow Of subterranean
water can be struck at a depth not
exceeding sixty feet, Engineer SpOr-
row expressed the opinion that it
would be much cheaper to develop it
by tunneing than to depend upon
pumping it to the suface. If the I'M
derground flow should be struck at a
greater depth than sixty feet, pump
ing would be necessary.
The morning paper quotes one
councilman as saying that the supply
OF water so developed could be
brought to the city limits for 100000
as compared to the Weile proposition
which would cost $4,000, ami the
Thomas ranch proposition, which
would cost $125,000."
No doubt the councilman has been
misquoted. for any one should know
that after the water is developed at
Thomas springs the cost of bringing
it to the city and distributing it for
use will not be affected by the man
ner in which it is brought to the sur
face. Engineer Clark and other com
petent authorizes have estimated that
1t would cost not to exceed $50 900 to
build a reservoir and conduct water
in wooden pipes from Thomas springs
cost over $40 900 more to lay the nee
essary distributing mains Of sufficient
strength to resist the increased pres
sure. Nobody has any idea that the
entire gravity system having its
source at Thomas springs can be
completed for less than 100000.
Engineers Kiersted and StorrCw.
who have national reputation in their
profession. have stated without re-
servation that abundance of water for
city of several times the present
population Of Walla Walla can be de-
veloped in the vicinity of Thomas
springs. All that is necessary is to
go after the water in commOn-se
way. The statesman believes that
the Storrow plan of developing water
which is favored by Ccuncilmen
Smith and Boyer. is a feasible one and
that il should he made a part OF the
Thomas springs proposition to be sub
mitted to the voters. There is no
question that an overwhelming ma
Jority OF the people OF this city favor
holding on to the city's rights at
Thomas springs and getting the water
from that source. They will oppose
any scheme to help out private spec
ulators by giving $4,000 for half the
Thomas ranch or to donate an equal
amount by abandoning the city's
$4,000 water right and SIS 5000 devel-
opment work on the farm.
All that has prevented a satisfac.
tory solution Of the water question
has been the determination of certain
men closely allied to a powerful poll
teal machine to hold up the city for
$4,000 gift for their private bene
MT. If the Thomas springs proposition
shall be submitted to the people with
this private graft entirely eliminated
there is no reason to doubt that it

EDITOR FINED FOR CONTEMPT.
Missouri Supreme Court Furnishes
Warrensburg Journalist.

Jeerson City, Mo.-The state SUI
preme court has handed down its de-
cision in the case of Edward Shep-
herd, the Warrensburg newspaper
man who was fined $500 several
months ago on a charge OF contempt
in that he published an article attack
ing the court.
The opinion, which is written by
Justice Marshall, and concurred in by
all the other judges, is very lengthy
and cites cases beginning with the
time of Caesar to show that this
court has the inherent power and
Jurisdiction to punish contempt sum-
marily."
After saying, that the article in
Shepherds paper had in reality at
tackled the honesty, integrity and pur-
ity of every branch of the state gov
eminent and of the several officers,
it continues that if the charges are
true the persons who are thus charg-
ed should be prosecuted and removed
from Office.
On the other hand, man that
makes such charges should be pre-
pared to make some sort of decent
showing of their truth.
Judge Marshall says that instead of
proving his charges, or making the
amende honorable by withdrawing
them and apologizing for his offense,"
Shepherd challenged the jurisdiction
Of the court and sought to escape on
technical grounds.
The action of the court in fining
