Dear Sir; You know what paint i.
for, how it does it, how it fan, what
paint does it, and what paint don't. It's
your business to know; Of course you
know Deyoe.
There are some details, which, OF
course, you can't be expected to know
For instance the next-best paints are
only three-quarters as good. That's
strange; very strange There are doz.
en- of them perhaps you don't know
them so accurately as that; you don't
know them all BY name. No matter;
one is enough; the only one you have
real occasion to know is Devoe.
The queer Of it is that the others
leave the whole business to us so. We
make paint as good as We can; Others
make it as good as they have to- Queer,
but We don't complain.
Yours truly,

,uteI a. PILES WILL USE IN
eIUENCE TO AID PASSAGE
OF MEASURE.
..+,,e Candidate Places Himself
souarely on the Big Political
Issue in Washington.

SEATTLE Wash, Nov. 22.-Samuel
Il Piles. the King county candidate
4,r United States senator, will, in so
Ga, as lies in his power, throw his
stranqth in the coming legislature in
favor of the passage of a railroad COM
mission bill Mr.. Piles has so Informed
his nprsonal and political friends. More
than that. he has publicly declared
that he will use all his influence that
ba NAV have in the coming legislature
+, aid in the passage of the measure
that was frowned down by the repub-
,;,an state convention at Tacoma last
spring.
Mr. Piles declaration goes probably
farther than that of any of the re-
nihIican leaders who have heretofore
opposed any railroad legislation in
this state. Mr.. Piles states his position
in the following interview:
Commission Demanded.
Il thoroughly believe hat MAORI

ton. Believing as | do that it is the de-
sire of a majority Of the loyal repub-
licans Of the state of Washington that
"a railroad commission should be Great
ell. | shall use my best efforts with my
friends in the coming session of the
legislature for this purpose
As a matter of fact, Mr.. Piles, some
two weeks before the last election,
privately stated to his friends that he
believed. no matter which way the
election went. that a railroad commits
sion should be created by the coming

legislature. Mr.. Piles told his intimate
personal friend, E. c. Raine of this
county. his views on the subject as
outlined in the foregoing. Mr.. Raine. as
member of the last legislature. was
an active advocate of the railroad COM
mission bill. Mr. Piles authorized Mr.
Raine. while campaigning in eastern
Washington, to pledge his (Piles) sup
port as the King county senatorial
candidate in the next legislature to the
railroad commission measure.
Piles Statesments.
Said Mr.. Piles yesterday: .swhen
we told the people of the state during
the campaign that our candidate for
governor would, if elected. sign a rail
road commission bill, we meant exact /
~ what we said. The people elected
Mr.. Mead governor, and he will fulfil
all promises in this respect. Moreover.
| believe that there is no doubt of the
passage of such a bill creating a fair
and impartial non-partisan railroad
commission which will justly and
equitably decide the issues between
the people and the railways.
No state ever became really great
without both interstate and foreign
commerce. The people of Washington,
like those of any new state, are unable
to create new markets for themselves.
The great railway and steamship lines
must create and open these new mar
kets for the people. In this work the
railway companies must be prepared
to spend millions of loddars and must
be prepared also to lose hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually before
the new fields of traffic become pro..-
able either to the railroads, the steam
ship lines or the people.
Work of the Railroads,
Il believe that every fair man in
Washington will agree with me that
the Great Northern railroad and it's al
ly the Great Northern Steamship
company. have already done a magnifi-
cent work in opening up Asia to the
commerce of Seattle and Puget Sound
The promoters of the new steamship
line saw that unless they put on big
steamers and made low rates to the
Orient, the great traffic to Asia flowing
from the United States would pass
through San Francisco. The traffic
once located in southern channels
would be difficult indeed to divert t.
other channels. In order to center this
traffic through Seattle and Puget
Sound the Great Northern railway and
the Great Northern Steamship COM
pany have opened up a magnificent
field for commerce in the Orient which
will furnish us with an unlimited mar
ext for all our surplus products.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-11-22

There should be mutually of In
terests between the railroads and the
people of Washington. BY the creation
of a railroad commission these 1nte-
rests will be adjudicated and all vex-
ing questions will be fairly and equit-
ably adjusted"

CANS TO BURN AND DEFRAuO
ARsoNisT CONSIDERATIONS oPER
ATE IN OHIO FOR QUARTER
OF A CENTURY.
Twenty eight Have Already Been Sent
to Pen and Fifty Under
Indictment.

TOLEDO, Nov. e2.-Twenty-eight
men of all ranks of life, high and low,
rich and poor already sent to the pen
itentiary, some fifty or more under in
dictment and many more in voluntary
exile, and the fire marshars depart
ment of this state has only started it
would seem, in cleaning up the. gang
of organized fire-bugs of Northwestern
Ohio that has operated for years Ever
since early in the seventies, it is said,
they have defrauded insurance COM
panies all over the world out of hun
dreds of thousands separated families,
committed murder, assault and almost
every crime on the calendar.
George Letcher, one of the wealthiest
men, as we'll as prominent, is the
latest arrest in California and he
said ex-Fire Marshal j. A. McMichael
today, was the real brains of the gang.
Regular contracts were made with va
rious parties to burn buildings which
were heavily insured or mortgaged.
And only when poor old Jack Page,
eighty years of his life gone, was sent
to Jail by several wealthy and infiu-
entail business men for jobs he had
done at their nefarious bidding, did
the worm turn and confessions begin.
AS soon as one was implicated, he in
turn told what others had DONE
For a Quarter of Century.
For twenty-five years. according to
the statement of the self confessed ar
sonist John Page, of Alvordton, there
has existed in Fulton, Williams and
Lucas counties, Ohio. and in southern
Michigan, a band of men whose bust
ness it was to commit arson. This band
was organized in 1874 and has con-
| tinued its operations for a quarter of
a century without the interruption of
! the law. The members of the gang
times during it's history, but has in
Guided 125 in ALL
If man knew of the existence of
the band and desired to burn the house
or barn of an enemy, he approached
the gang, and upon payment of a stip-
ulated sum, measured by the import
ance of the house to be burned, the
members would execute the crime.
Apparently there is no way of deter
mining the exact crimes committed ex-
cept through the statements of Page
formerly a farmer living a short dis
lance from AlvordtOn, Williams coun-
ty. This man was apprehended by
State Fire Marshal Hollenbeck, as
sisted by Deputies Payne of Tiledo and
Fox of Columbus. There had been sew
eral minor fires in the county, and
suspicion pointed to Page. He fell into
the clutches of the law, and after a
I period of obstinate reticence, gave in
to the demands of the marshals and
not only confessed to the specific
crimes of arson of which he was sus
! pected, but in addition seized with 2
spirit of mingled revenge and contri-
ton, confessed to crimes of arson ex-
tending back over twenty-five years
furthermore, he at once implicated
| fifteen other men, whom he declared
| formed gang which had successful
~ hred houses and barns for the period
| mentioned.
