FOUND FOSSIL BONES.
e. G. Burlingame Runs Across Some IL
Excavating irrigation Ditch.

Yesterday as E. G. Burlingame was
excavating for the big ditch of the
Walla Walla Irriagtion company, on
the Pearson Brothers farm, about 10
miles southwest Of Walla Walla he
found lying in the soft art, about three
feet beneath the surface, two pieces
of bone. One of the pieces is about
II inches long and six inches through.
It, is split longitudinally, showing the
marrow cavity. which is full of loose
dirt and which clings tenaciously to
the rough surface. The bone seems
to have partially solidified into a sort
of lime stone. The other piece is an
end of a joint. about eight inches
through and the same length, broken
off roughly at the end.
The bones are evidently part of the
underpinning Of one of the huge man,
moths which roamed over the north
west long before the Oregon river had

WHY NOT MAKE 1T NANIMOUS:

1t is now proposed by a citizen of
Georgia that the democratic presiden-
tial electors, all of whom are in the
South, join with the republican elect
ors of the solid North in making the
election of Roosevelt unanimous.
There is nothing in the national con-
Stitution to prevent this being done
The constitution gives to the electors
chosen by the several states the power
of choosing the president and the vice
president 1t was intended by the
trainers of that instrument that the
i've body free from popular passion
and prejudice. No provision was made
for the holding of national party con-
Nentions and no president was nomi-
mated by such a convention until 1892
Prior to that time presidential candi-
dates were named by congressional
caucuses or by legislative caucuses in
The several states. There is no stati-
r. tory law requiring presidential elect
ors to obey the instructions of national
conventions. However since 1882 the
nominations made by the national con-
Ventions have been considered morally
binding upon the electors of the re-
spective parties. In only one instance
mas this rule been violated by any
eiector and that was in the case OF
Willard Fillmore. the Know Nothing
candidate

BILL WILL BE INTRODUCED IN
THE LEGISLATURE MAKING
PROVISION FOR IT.
Adherents to the Cause Believe Gov
ernor Mead Will Sign It in
Event Of Passage.

S Following a custom which has been
i'm vogue since Washington became a
state, a, local option bill will be intro
duced in the coming legislature, this
time from Whatcom county. states the
Olympian. Adherents to the cause Of
local option believe that the bill will
pass the legislature and will be signed
by the governor. 1t il known that
several members of the legislature
from Whatcom county have been,
approached by enthusiasts Of the local
option idea and an attempt has been
made to have the members commit
themselves to its support. 1t is said
that two members have agreed to do
SO. Others, as far as seen, are non
committal, and while saying that they
would not violently oppose the meas
ure, they are little comfort to those
who favor the bill.

CHEAPER LIGHTS PROMISED.

The people of Walla Walla are anx-
iously awaiting the completion Of the
new power plant of the Northwestern
Gas & Electric Light Company and the
promised reduction of rates that will
then be due. Walla Walla pays higher
rates for electric lights than any other
city on the coast south of Alaska, and
consumers are justified in demanding
some relief from the heavy tribute
levied upon them. A substantial re-
duction in rates would mean increased
patronage and larger net profits for
the company in the long run. A con-
tinuation of the present exorbitant
rates will mean eventually the estab-
lishment of rival lighting plant eth
er by the city or by private capital,
and a curtailment of the present COM
pany's receipts. 1t is hoped that the
electric company will look upon this
matter in a reasonable light-if they
can find one strong enOugh-and that
they may decide to treat their patrons
with the consideration to which they
are entitled.

David FerreI and Bride Welcomed
Back by Russell Creek Neighbors.

A charivari party of 125 assembled
at the new home of David Ferret at
Russell creek last night to welcome
him and his bride, formerly Miss
Wolfe of Maryland. whom he brought
west a few days since: c. L. Shem-
well was elected captain of the gang,
which came laden down with baskets
full of all varieties of pies. cakes and
all manner of things acceptable to the
inner man. The Ferrels are very well
known and liked in the Russell creek
country and this party was gotten up
to show the hearty good wishes which
neighbors felt for their happiness.

GOVERNOR TO GO TO CALIFORNIA.
Mead Will Not Make Appointment
Until He Returns.

The officeseekers will have plenty of
time to prepare for their onslaught on
Governor-elect Mead. Mr.. Mead is
now quoted as stating that with the
exception of the appointment of A. N.
Brown as his private secretary and
Miss Jennie Mcleod as official steno-
grapher no appointments had been
decided upon and that it is probable
that no others will be announced un-
til they are sent to the senate for con-
firmatiOn. Governor Mead contem-
plates a trip to California next week
for rest after the strenuous cam
paign through which he has just gone,
and may be absent for several weeks

THE PASS EVIL.

The railroad pass is as potent
state, and an editorial in a recent
copy of the Commoner indicates that
the people of that state are having
as much trouble in graduating the
evil as we are:
More and more the people are
coming to realize the enOrmity Of
the pass evil. A number of bills have
been introduced at various sessions
of the Nebraska legislature intending
to prohibit the giving Of railroad
passes, but these measures were not
adopted. One of these bills provided
that any justice or judge who used
transportation in any form should be
ineligible to sit in railroad case. An
other bill made similar provisions as
to jurors. Judge Munger Of the United
States suprece court for the dis
trict of Nebraska, has held it cause for
challenge in a suit to which rail-
road was party that a juror who was
drawn and summoned asked and re-
ceived from such railroad a pass. The
principles embodied in the bills re-
ferred to and the rule laid down by
Judge Munger are undoubtedly sound.
That pass has a pecuniary value is
recognized by both the donor and the
donee, and that a pass may have an
influence upon the mind and decision
of juror or judge is understood by
the railroad if not by the recipient Of
the pass. Corporations do not give
ing a return in some form, and they
would not continue to give passes UNI
less they felt that this expectation had
been realized in the past.
The parties to a suit are entitled
a trial cannot be fair or impartial
if the judge or juror is under pecu-
mary obligations to one of the parties
to the suit. AS long as men can be in
fiuenced by zeal born of benefits re-
ceived and fostered by the hope of
favors yet to come" as Mr.. Cleveland
once felicitously expressed it, they will
be tempted to lean toward the side
from which the benefit comes. 1t can
not be stated as a universal or in
nor can it be said that it always in
f1uences the person who receives it,
but until passometer is invented
which will measure the influence of
free transportation upon the judicial
mind, the only safe plan is to pro-
hibit the use of passes by those who
are to decide controversies to which
a railroad is a party. If judge is re-
quired to travel in the discharge of
official duties his expenses are pro-
vided for; if he has occasion to travel
on private business he can better af-
ford to buy ticket than the average
man. If any one will observe he will
find that those who need free trans
portation most are unable to secure it,
and that those best able to pay their
fare are the ones who have the infiu-
ence necessary to secure passes

LARGE PAY ROLL.
Big Amount Of Money Paid Out by
Waila WaIta Creamery.

Very few people in Walla Walla
probably realize the amount of money
that is paid out each month at the
Walla Walla creamery for salaries of
employees and for the purchase of milk
and cream from the farmers and 9TH
ers who have the article to sell. Ward
Emigh has just completed making up
his report for the month of October
and he finds that during the past 80
days he expended the sum of $5909.S4.
OF that amount $5199.S4 went to those
who furnished milk and cream and
$40 was paid to those employed in the
establishment. This is an average of
$1,000 per day. Mr.. Emigh estimates
that the total amount paid out each
year will reach the sum of $4,000 In
addition to supplying the local trade
the creamery is daily shipping 200
pounds of butter for the market in the
towns in southeastern Washington
and eastern Oregon.

The Soup House Era.

The waterville Sentinel asserts that
the State OF Maine did make small
annual gain in wealth during Cleve-
lands second administration. Very
likely. Maine is principally an agri-
cultural State, and it required quite
quantity of meat and vegetables 10
keep the soup houses running during
that period in other parts Of the coun-
try-notably in the manufacturing
centers.
In speaking OF this era, however. the
Journal referred to it in relative
sense. The Sentinel admits that
twenty years of Republican rule mas
added SIG. O0O, 900 to the wealth OF the
State, as shown by the assessors re-
turns. This would be an average gain
of nearly $4,000. GOO a year. The Sehtihei
undertakes to show that even duriii5
the SOUP house days of Democratic RUE
the annual gain was about 3.'oo'oV''
Our contemporary should bear In mlhu'
however, that Maine has Gel '
yantages that cannot be wholly
neutraliZed even by the bighti'is
effects of Democratic free traue
regime. Our beautiful inland lakes
and farms, our magnificent coast. IS
always a awning force upon the out
side world. The Cleveland hard tunes
while they doubtless retarded did not
stop the building Of summer homes In
our State by outside capitalists-many
of whom had accumulated or inherited
sufficient wealth, to put them beyond
reach of business depression. From this
source, doubtless, came, I'm large
measure. the greatly diminished gain in
valuation during this period which was
noted nv the Sentinel. Still, a drop
from an annual gain of SG,0O0,0O0 in
wealth to a s3,5OO,OOO gain was a de-
cidedly heavy one, and big price for
the taxpayers of Maine to give for the
narrowing experiment Of Democratic
rule.

Wealth and Population.

In the discussion of the increase in
the wealth Of our State during the past
twenty years--as shown by its gain IN
valua tion-which has occupied some
space in several of our State papers
during the past week one of the most
important factors in this increase APP
pears to have been overlooked. During
the past two decades millions of dollars
have been expended in our State in the
construction of thousands of summer
hotels and residences. The Waterville
Sentinel-which makes the absurd
claim that increase of population must
go hand in hand with increase of
wealth-will note that the very sub
stantial increase in the States wealth
extensive additions to what is common
ly known az our summer property"
has been accompanied by practically
no increase at ali in our population
that would be noted in the United
States census returns. Old Orchard is
good illustration of the discrepancy
that may exist between summer and
IA permanent popula ton. The census of
1900 gives it a population of 964. and
vet during the vacation season it be-
comes transformed into busy
municipality of from 10000 to 10000
population-a major part of it's as
sessed property is owned by people
| who do not figure at all in the census
returns. What is true of Old Orchard
is notably true Of Bar Harbor, and.
to a greater or less extent of several
hundred or more other places in Maine
that have their regularly established
summer colonies. In short the in
crease of summer property while it has
been very notable has added prac-
tically nothing to our popula ton.
An attempt to establish a close re-
lationship between wealth and popula-
lion is about as absurd as Bryan's
amusing attempt to claim a close re-
| t1OnSnlD between silver anu WHedl.
We firmly believe that the summer
lresOrt business in our State-Sub-
Istantial as are the proportions it has
ATTAINED, is, as yet only in its infancy.
Maine has all the natural facilities for
1.-THE summer resting place and recrea-
ltion ground of the nation: and We be-
llieve that this summer business-if our
national prosperity is maintained
Through a continuance Of the wise Re
publican policies that have made 1t
pOssible-is destined to make an enor-
nous growth in the next decade. This
growth it is true will not be accom-
panied by any noticeable increase of
population. but it will add immensely
to our total wealth, and contribute,
directly and indirectly, to the pros
lperity of all our citizens.
