Veteran Commits Suicide, Thinking He
Had Been Robbed Of His Money.

TACOMA, Oct. John c. Foley, a
Grand Army man, aged 70 years, shot
himself at Orting several days ago
and his body was found this morning.
The suicide was the result of a whim.
Foley obtained his discharge from the
state soldiers home September IS, and
started to Portland. He stayed all night
in a resort at Tacoma, and when he
awoke the next morning found that he
had been robbed. Bent almost double
with years and feebleness, he walked
back to Orting.
There he found that a small tobacco
pouch worn around his neck contained
$15. The thought that he had endured
such hardships walking when he might
have ridden SO angered him that he
was beside himself. He took the money
and bought the revolver which ended
his life
Foley served during the war in Com
pany f, First regiment of New York.
He came to Orting January last. His
relatives live in Troy. n. Y. During
the war Foley was shot i'll the head.

Col. Morrison. We are all in favor of
a railroad commission and realize. of
course, that there is no nope for this
under an administration headed by
Mr. Mead. His own utterances in his
campaign through eastern Washing
ton have done nothing to help Mr..
Mead's candidacy. He not only dspels
all hope Of Il railroad commission. but
also gives an impression of his incapa-
bility of intelligent leadership in any
cause. He is making absolutely no
Roadway. but is losing votes for his
ticket daily. The Turner sentiment
throughout the whole Of eastern Wash
ington is simply overwhelming.

Err TO EXTEND FILING TIME

An Amendment Passed by Congress ir

SALEM, Ore, Oct. 4.-FrOm de-
cision just rendered by Commissioner
W. A. Richards of the general land Of
flee it is found that the impression that
August Il is incorrect, and that appli-
cations under the law are still in order.
The commissioner points out that an
amendment of March, 1903, gives him
power to extend the time for filing ap
plications Indefinitely, and that if all
commissioners choose, the act is viz
tually perpetual.
Although the Carey arid land act was
passed by congress in 1894, which gave
each state the privilege of reclaiming
100000 acres of arid land within it's
boundaries. no advantage was taken of
it in this state until in the early part of
1901. Up to the present time appli-
cations nave been received for the
reclamation of 100000 acres in round
numbers.
Only one application has been held
up in the state land department pend
ing this decision, and that application
was forwarded yesterday afternoon
10 Washington. This application is for
the reclamation of 11,766 acres of arid
land in Crook county, and was made by
the SQuaw Creek Irrigation company.
The water is to be taken from SquaW

The games were SO closely guarded
that it was almost impossible for any
