ELoPERs CROSS OVER THE ICE
Mississippi River Not So Terrifying
as Angry Mother Left Behind.

LACROSSE, Wis, Dec. 26.-Calling
to each other and goaded to despera
ton by the hostile shouts of a con-
stable behind them, pretty 16-year-ol
Inez Pierce and her boy lover Archie
Dunbar, leaped like Eliza from cake to
cake of floating ice in the Mississippi
river and landed safely on the Mime
sofa side.
Miss Pierce is a daughter of a stern
and stylish mother. She was SEN
fenced to the Industrial school because
she persisted in receiving the atten-
ton of Dunbar. The court granted her
last evening her freedom and she went
home with her mother.
Dunbar called and they escaped
Hurrying south on foot to Genoa, a
small village, they secured lodgings.
Early in the morning the village con-
stable, under telephone directions from
the Lacrosse police, arrested them.
Dragging the girl behind him Dunbar
dashed on to the frozen river.
When they reached a point near the
open channel the ice broke and they
were set drifting on a large cake
Stepping from cake to cake they made
their way to the Minnesota side in
safety.

low necessary to be conveyed to the
Governor and legislature. 1t furnishes

any one interested in the schools Of

otc A chapter is devoted to each of
tho educational institutions of the
state. On the effort made during the
mast summer to take the state and
County superintendents' Office out of
notifies" State superintendent Bryan
makes some caustic comments. On
This subject Mr.. Bryan says in part:
People of this great, happy and
PROSPEROUS country are always un-
happy, some about one thing, some
about another. The different groups
or classes are not always unhappy
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-12-27

ABOUT the same thing, but thew are
unhappy about one thing today and
about another thing tomorrow. Their
moods change from time to time. hut
eacn class must be unhappy most Of
the time about something They are
most miserable when they can find
nothing to be unhappy about.
AS an instance or this kind, the
idea bored itself into the brains of a
few leading educational people of this
state that the whole school system is
being damned by the fact that the
state superintendent and all county
superintendent are elected in just the
same manner that all other state and
county officers are elected. It has NOT
occurred to me before this excitement
sprang up, but l am now astonished
to think that have not felt mortified
and chagrined to think that / was
elected by practically the same process
that William Mckinley was elected and
by exactly the same process by which
my colleagues in the state capitol
building were elected I am now happy
to think that 1 have now good and
sufficient reason for being unhappy
during the remainder of my nfe and
1t should be a sufficient and Just cause
to make all county superintendent of
this state wretched to reflect upon the
fact that they too were nominated ana
elected in the same manner as were
their associate county officers
and be it said to the everlasting dis
grace of that little clique which made
such Herculean efforts to take these
officers out of politics in the recent
campaign that dirtier, more false and
debasing political methods were never
resorted to by the lowest ward poll
tlcian than were resorted to by them.''
Mr.. Bryan then discussed the sub

FROZEN TO DEATH.
John Weight Meets His End on Trail

BELLINGHAM, Dec. 27.-John
Voight, son of j. 7. Voight, president
of the New Republic Mining company,
was frozen to death last Saturday.
Less than a city block from shelter
and safety, benumbed and weakened
by the piercing mountain cold, the
young man laid down on the trail to
die. His body was found the next day.
Young VoighH was sent to Barron
from the New Republic mine, in the
Slate Creek district last Saturday. to
get the mail for his fathers company
and the North American Mining COM

spoken up as the champion of the "lry
farmer who owns land under a ditch
and does not wish to buy water
Mr.. Long said: TT seems to me
that the efforts of the commission to
benefit the dry farmer in its proposed
irrigation law. have presented some
amusing propositions, which might
nave been avoided with a practical
farmer on the commission from a nor
ton of the state wher the actual
problems of the system, have been
tried out.
Compel Him to Sell.
''The law proposes that eyerv farmer
owning land under a ditch shall have
three years in which to apply for a
water right from the ditch company.
ana If he does not do it then he will
lose his right of priority in the waters
available. That means that every
owner of land must buy water within
three years after it is economically
available, or go on the blacklist of the
company. The company may extend
its system and will not furnish water
to that man after so long as it can get
someone else to take it. That will
mean that in a few years the company
VIII be able to bid that mans land i'm
at its own price and cheat him of half
it's worth
The law may be all right for a man
who owns his land free of debt and is
on it to farm it, but it is most unjust to
iand IN litigation or under mortgage.
Marshall Field of Chicago owns a great
deal of land through this country. If
he should die a year after a ditch was
built to water his property the three
years limit would expire before the
property would be in the hands of the
new owner through probate proceed
ings. The same would be true of
many estates.
More Restraint.
Then l think the irrigation COM
panies should be under more restraint
and ont be given the great public util-
tiles merely to enrich themselves. from
them. They should be compelled to
deposit some securities such as bonds,
with the state treasurer to protect the
people. 1t would be we'll to see that
their contracts are not like those Of an
irrigation company operating at one
time not over 100 miles from Spokane,
in which it made exceptions that
amount to if the Almighty will fur
nish the water they would let the far
mer have it for $50 to $50 an acre
Then the promoters should be made
responsible SO that they can not APP
propriate the water. build the ditch,
sell water rights for several times
what the ditch cost and then get out
with the money. That. could easily be
done for such prices as water rights
are deemed worth near Spokane, if the

Colonel George H. Puppy, Presidential
Elector and president Of the Union
League Club. who was not permitted to

cause his name does not appear on the

Puppy appeared at the Registrars Of

complaint 1t was to the effect that
he had registered on May 20 last, but
although an extra force of clerks were

CITY ROLLS
UP 4 GREAT
PLURALITY
Gives Republican
Party Splendid
Support.
Entire Ticket Ex-
eept judiciary
Victorious.

No city in the Union can claim great.
er pride in the great result of yester-
days election than San Francisco.
which, up to the close of the count at
midnight gave the Republican electoral
ticket the splendid plurality Of 1865.
This plurality was out of a total count
of 1907 votes When the count is
completed to-day the plurality Of the
Republican party in San Francisco will
doubtless be much greater than these
figures show, and the great county of
the State will again be among the bid
ders for the silken banner of the faith.
The figures supplied by the Registrar
at midnight show that the Congress
siOnal candidates and the entire Re-
publican legislative ticket of the city
districts were elected. The incumbent
candidates for the judiciary--Judge
Seawen, Trout. Murasky and Kerri-
gan-were reelected, being carried into
office by a splendid non-partisan vote
that speaks in fitting approval of their
Offices AS heretofore the people re-
fused to hedge the judiciary with
party lines, and the men who. through
the years Of their incumbency, have
guarded without fear or favor the
rights of all the people were rewarded
for their faithful service.
Only in the question of the ju-
dietary, however. could the Republican
avalanche be stayed. Grievances OF dis
tricts against the Republican organi-
zation and efforts to defeat it's legisla-
tive candidates by strengthening the
Democratic candidates with Union La
Dor nominees were without avail. In
the Thirty-seventh Assembly District
+ C.. Jones' Republican nominee for
the Assembly, signally defeated J. H
Dillon, whose nomination by the
Democratic party was strengthened by
the presentation to the candidate Of
the Union Labor nomination.
The Republicans who jumped over
the traces in the Thirty-ninth Assem-
bly, District and put E. T. Murray in
the race as an independent candidate
for the Assembly have also faced the
bitterness of defeat. T. r. Atkinson
Republican nominee, was elected by a
comfortable majority and now the in
dependents find themselves clear out
of the field where political plums may
be picked when the Legislature meets.
Notwithstanding the sweeping vic
tory of the Republican party there was
one other party in the contest yester-
day that cast a vote that is significant.
This party is the Socialist. In the city
alone il polled over 5000 votes and II
it keeps growing at the ratio that has
marked it's progress since the last gen
eral election IL will soon be a factor In
the game Of ballots.
The Prohibition party displayed but
little strength. II cast but a few hun
dred votes in the city, and these were
widely scattered.
