Walla Walla Argus, Oct. q, 1901
For instance The Argus has it upon
good hearsay evidence that the Union
printed several hundred summons
publications under the new delinquent
tax law, where it should have printed
but one. Other counties included all
delinquent tax descriptions under one
general summons, paying therefor ten
cents for each description. The Union,
however, is said to have devoted a
and 10 have run up a bill of more
than a thousand dollars
Among the very first actions of a
party which mas carried an election
is that of providing spoils for the
newspaper which has been its repre-
sentative. ! ..st OF the Unions bills
which have been audited and allowed

be appreciated b. t3Xpa%ers in gener-

ment is perfectly willing that such an
impression should prevail; but The
Argus will venture the assertion that
ends will not only meet. but will lap
by good distance so long as an in
f1uence is at work which can by mere
~ saying the word cut the game war
den's salary from 500 to S. and that
not to save money but to persecuIe
an officer who has cOnscientiOusly en-
deavOred to impartially perform his
duties. Just how far the county GOV
eminent is corrupt, The Argus cannot
undertake to say. but that there is a
power behind the throne upon which
the commissioners sit, is not a matter
of doubt in the minds Of taxpayers
in general. There is also pretty cor
rect conception Of the general appear
ance of this alleged power.

MORE ABOUT THAT WORLEY JOB

The competitors before the city
council for the East Alder street
f1ume contract were Fred CARTS. Carl
Scholl and Worley, the latter's bid
$3.50. But WOrley took advantage
Of the rival bidders by putting in a
doubled headed proposition. AS an al
tentative to the specified plans of CON
struction he sad: Il will do the same
work but use 2-inch instead Of 3-inch
slaves IN the 42-inch pipe for $4,000"
The council passed a resolution
empowering the water committee to
go over the plans with Worley and
| make such changes and fix such terms
as they saw fit. This was manifestly
unfair to the other bidders who were
given no chance to figure on the
| changed plans.
The original specifications called

perfectly water light. the top to be
| fitted with wire screen OF one halt
inch mess. The cost Of this vent
would have been probably one-hun-
dred dollars. 1t was left out in the
| new plan.
According to the original plan the
! barrel fume was to be Of AZ inches
internal diameter. This was changed
to ~ inches external diameter

slaves by inches. The difference
was about 5000 board feet
The outer and inner faces of the
f1ume were to conform to arcs, the
edges being dressed to true radlal
planes. This was changed to allow
the use of slaves dressed on only the
outer edge.
The original specifications called
for s. inch steel bands. This was
changed to one-inch iron bands, MAX
ing difference of about $500. The
iron rods used as fasteners were, &C
cOrding the first plan, to be Of such
length as to extend through nuts not
less than two inches nor more than
five. This was changed TO allow a
close fit.
The plans as changed provided for
board by II to extend under the
fiume for its entire length to prevent
sagging This was left out through
the carelessness of supervision of the
work and that is the explanation OF
the leaking of the f1ume, which now
says in many places on the uneven
base.
There were other minor changes

Since it is graded with ridge in the
middle the water will run into the
Easements whenever it rains and men
will have to be employed to rake the
mud off the surface at frequent inter-
walls just as on Main street. The
council might much more wisely and
nroftahly to the public devote it's at
tention to improving some OF the
wretched streets of the city, such as
East Alder from Park street to the
race track, which bears no evidence OF
having had any work done upon it for
twenty wears. Just as many voters
could be used in improving such
streets as are being used IN grading
the alleys.

Walla Walla Argus, July II, 1901
Perhaps the editor of the Union would
object to being called lunatic-but
he most certainly is one He is man
who has gone to seed on the PROPOSE
ton of mOneygetting, and he is riding
his hobby as frantically as is any man
to whom his advice is couched. He
might protest that religious fanatics
sometimes go insane, and murder in
nOcents in their frenzy to save them
from eternal damnatiOn. Do not peo-
pie who are mOney-lOvers also commit
murder in their mad chase after
riches? Is not the love of money said
to be the root Of all evil? With apol-
Ogies to the editor of the Union for
making the comparison. what is the
difference between him and the men

much difference as might be suppOs-

The Union has not yet explained
who got that extra one-thousand dol
lars that it has added to the known
cost of the Worley fume. The public
has been told only Of the $4,000 paid
Worley and the 500 paid in settle
ment of the suit for the infringement
of the Allen patent That Is a total
of $4,000. Now who got that extra
one thousand dollars that the Union
says was paid by the water depart
ment? Was it used secretly in paying
bills contracted by Worley not cover
ed by the bond given by the guaran-
tee company?

If the residents Of East Alder street
wish to see any improvement made
In the condition that street and

While Boss Burford's bank and his
two newspaper organs pretend to be
champions of the public schools, it is
we'll to bear in mind that the only tax
payer refusing to pay the five-mlll
school tax is this same bank, which
has brought suit in Judge Hartford s
court to enjoin the county treasurer
from collecting the same. The Hunt
administration by secretly throwing
off over fifteen hundred-nOt $500 as
the Evening Air Goose had tin ma
tiOnal bank taxes has given its en-
dOrsement to this refusal Of Boss
Burford to pay the tax levied for the
education of the children Of this city
Therefore. a vote for Hunt is vote

tional bank to pay its share of the

IT IS NOT HILLMAN.

Let's see. Who is running against
KEGS anyway?-UniOn.
It is most certainly not your man
Hillman, who is generally believ-
ed to be running for KEGS. If you do
not wake up before election day to
the fact that KEGS has strong opposi-
ton, there is n doubt that your man
will be done up Brown when the peo-
pie have a chance to get at him.

The Statesman is Informed that there many good
men III the city who have indicated their intention
against Frank KEGS because Of his against the
gambling law at Olympia last winter and because his
close associations with who have grown rich slmb
ling, but that the good inclined
Gilbert Hunt "aHSc he is personally such nice good
clean man. These voters should be reminded that last
April when Chief Kaufman rendered his resignation
the council Mayor Hunt usurel the authority appoint
Frank KEGS chief, knowing full well the record KEGS
made in the Legislature and his alliance with the gambling
element. This proves concusvey that aside Mavor
Hunts admirable personal qualities be is bound and
foot by his alliance with the wideOpen element If
should be reelected he will join with KEGS in ignor
ing the existence of the gambling law and in making
it dead letter, just the old gambling law became
his administration.
Mayor Hunt knows that the BurfOr SmailS machine
to which he belongs is rTevOcaby committed to wide
open gambling and general contempt for all laws that
interfere with the profits of the that contributes
literally to the campaign fund of the dominant faction,
and he dares not oppose the will Of this combination Tn
voting therefore the good referred to should look be
yond Gilbert Hunt, the courteous, ahle gentleman 10
the that are behind his administration whose will he
has not the backbone to defy
\ vote for Gilbert Hunt vote for the
ton of wideopen gambling in spite of the law, and vote
for Frank KEGS means exactly the thing.

The city now has chance to get
gas at $50 a thousand, but it is dol
lars to doughnuts that Boss Burford
will not allow Mayor Hunt if reflect
ed, to grant a rival company a fran
chise and the people will continue TO
pay SO a thousand. By the way, down
at San Francisco consumers Of gas are
raising a great howl because by a
combination Of gas companies the
price has been raised from 80 cents to
81 a thousand. Burford, who is I'M
Questionably the power behind the

Regret Over Admiral Whites Death
Visitors to Washington.

Special Correspondence OF The EVENING Star
ANNAPOLIS, Md, December124, 1903.
The news of the death of Rear Admiral
Edwin White, retired, waserecefved at the
academy today with many expressions OF
regret. Admiral White, when holding the
rank of captain, was commandant of ca
diets, as the midshipmen were then called,
from November II, 1895, to September II,
$685. At that time the superintendent was
the late Rear Admiral McNair. While here
Admiral White made great many friends.
Capt. William Hopkins of the United
States Marine Corps arrived at the Naval
Academy today under orders to organize
company of marines to go to Philadelphia.
where 1t will join the United States ship
Dixie for Panama. Brig. Gen. Elliott, COM
mandant of the corps. is expected to 90 on
the Dixie. -
George L. Pendleton, the. colored lawyer
against whom action Is being taken looking
to his disbarment. has filed \ petition to
withdraw the charges and to make an off,
cial apology. 1t is not likely that his petit
ton will be granted.

One-Cent School Luncheons.

From the Boston Globe
A society has been organized in Phila-
delphia for supplying poor people with Ice,
coal milk and other necessities at the low
est possible rates. What nobler work could
q religious society be engaged in? One or
the ladies of this society noticed that chill
dren on their way to school are almost
barricaded by candy merchants, who sell
them large quantities of colored candies,
which the doctors are ever declaring to be
most deleterious to the health of young
people besides furnishing a fruitful means
Of wasting their pennies.
The society thereupon got permission To
use the school house Easements. There
they established tables and covered them
with clean white cloths and glistening
plates and glasses.
Now for one cent the school children of
Philadelphia may have a glass of sterilized
milk. or bread and butter, or fresh pretzels,
or graham crackers. For the price
may be had apples bananas, pears. peaches
and other fruits in their season Plain
cakes are also furnished but the harmful
candy habit is barred out completely, ex-
cept some plain moasses species. OF course.
the society is benevolent one, and no
profit is expected. But 1t furnishes chill
dren a wholesome lunch for one cent, saves
their tender stomachs from destruction,
teaches them to care for their pennies and
is in every way beneficial. The idea Is
worth following in other cities.

ARMoR AND ARMAMENT.
Secretary Moody Transmits Request
for So, OOO, 900 Augmentation.

AVA Y~tSOODSOS SAPPA0E
By reason of the greater rapidity with
which the new ships for the navy are being
advanced to completion, Secretary Moody
has transmitted to Congress an urgent re-
quest for an appropriation Of 81, 000, 600 for
armor and armament to be made without
delay. The last appropriation made for
armor and armament was based on the
amount expended per month last year;
which was $739, 7O8. Since July last this
item has amounted to 81 100 $50 per month,
and after January / the manufacturers of
armor have notified the department that a
material increase is to be made in their
output.
Secretary Moody also has asked for an
immediate appropriation Of 1000 to en-
able payment to be made to Cuba for the
land acquired by the United States for the
Guantanamo naval station and to inclose
the same within a wall or fence, according
to the terms Of the treaty.
Moody says: 1.-THE total amount due, to
be paid to Cuba for advance rent. upon
receipt by this government Of the land and
other property at the station, amounts to
S137 421. OF this amount. the owners Of
property valued at about $115,O00 have sig
nified their willingness to accept the valu-
alton made by the commission. The own
ers of the remaining property, however,
have objected to the price, and condemna-
ton proceedings have begun in the Cuban
courts, with the probable result that the
appraised valuation will be very much in
creased by it's Judgment"
The sum of 100000 was appropriated to
meet this expense in the last sundry civil
bill.
