 The census of 1909 on it's face showed that there were 70s,Se6 school children in the State. There was strong suspicion that some of the children were imaginary. Un- der the new system of taking the census the total number was reduced to S76.S71 ehil- dren. The net reduction was 22.SeB chil- dren. This result of the census is not how. ever. to be tgs,sen as an indication that Ala bama has ret.ograded in population. There are more real children in Alabama this year than there were in 1908.
 The available school fund for the year of 1904 was much larger than jt was last year. The Rvailaable school fund this year is Sl.042,337.s7. This fund last year was returns from the poll tax are not included in these figures.

Cotton Cars Burned.

Two cars of cotton standing on a sidetrack near the scuh Miller Co.'S plant, were burned tonight. The fire had made good headway before it was discovered, and owing to the inaccessi- biIity and distance the fire department could not assist in extinguishing the flames. There were about forty cars on the same siding; these were moved to a safe distance by the railroad. The origin of the Ire Is supposed to be of an incendiary nature. as the siding is isolated and no apparent means of

Charles E. Buttles who is be-
fore the people of Chelan county
for treasurer formerly lived in
this town, indeed, only moving
to Wenatchee after he was elect
ed assessor. The selection of
Atkinson delegates to the county
convention makes the nOmina-
ton of Mr.. Buttles practically
certain. This is very gratifying
to his many friends in Leaven-
worth. Mr.. Buttles has served
two years as assessor and has
made very efficient and in
every way satisfactory county
officer. Mr.. Buttles preferred
the office of treasurer to assessor
and the people have given it to
him. A more worthy selection
could not have been made.

answer before he can expect any
one to be influenced by his argu-
ment.
Mr.. Field says IF railroad
tools slipped into the commits
sion under the elective system
they would be there for years,
Will Mr.. Field or the S.-R. ex
plain how it is easier for two or
three candidates for commission
er who have been touched by the
railroads to run the gauntlet of a
popular election, than 1t would
be for the gentleman who hap
pened to be the candidate for
governor? Surprising the rail-
roads were out fixing things, to
use doubtful but well under
stood expression, would it be
any more difficult, or expensive,
to fix the governor than it would
be to fix two or three commits
sioners? The men who will be
called npon to serve upon a rail
road commission will compare in
ability with the governor and
the fixing price of each would
therefore come about as high as
a governor. A sophistical an
swer to Mr.. Fields argument
would be that the railroads will
find it easier, and less expensive,
to fix the governor, and that they
would quite naturally follow the
line of least resistance.
The Echo believes that the
fierce light of public scrutiny will
beat with equal force upon the
candidate for railroad commits
sion honors and the candidate
for governor, and if there is rea-
son for believing that either of
them has been touched, the vo-
tiers will discover the fact and
reject them, and that it would be
no more difficult for the railroads
to fix one than the other. The
Echo has likewise an abiding
faith in the good sense of the
average voter and of his ability
to use wisely and we'll, the right
to vote, and would prefer to see
all public officers, including vii
lage postmasters, elected by
popular vote. The people will
show their good sense, and their
ability to decide wisely by re-
jecting Mr.. Mcbride and his APP
pointive railroad commission.
A "brave and incorruptible''
servant of the people, while in
the legislature, would have done
something to "impeaoh the in
Vulnerable tools which the rail
roads foisted into public posi-
TONS" but there is nothing in
the records to show that Mr..
Field, while member ever did
anything to bring the RAILROADS
to Justice. That fulsome praise
which the S. r. heaps on Mr..
Field is a misfit on its face.
With all that railroad corruption
AROUND him. why did not Mr..
Field get busy bringing them to
justice? Looking into the future
by the light of his past conduct
there is no likelihood of Mr..
Field tearing his neither garment
in trying to bring the railroads
to time. He has nArecord along

Controversy over a
Lease in Salem
Justice Court
A Petty Civil Case That Is
Being Fought Out on a
Warrant Charging
a Felony

The case OF State VS.. Crookham, be-
fore Justice Horgan, was called at 10
a. m, and continued until 10 q. m.
Thursday, when II will be heard on
testimony and argument on the law.
There was a large number OF specta,
tors in the court room, and there is
considerable interest in the matter.
The newspaper reporters all got 1t
Friday that there was a lease Of the
horse to Castro, and that seems to be
the real question at issue, Just how
a civil controversy over the posses.
sion Of piece Of property can he
construed into criminal action for
the taxpayers to foot the bill remains
for the lawyers 10 explain.
The facts. in the case seem TO be
that Mr.. Crookham and Strong, one
the brother and the other the brother.
in-law of Mrs. Murray, in company
with Mrs. Murray, went to the fair
grounds Tuesday and demanded the
horse of Castro. Mrs. Murray asked
Castro TO deliver the horse to her
representatives, and he refused. She
asked Castro TO unlock the door of the
stall, and he refused. The two men,
under direction Of Mrs. Murray, the
owner, then proceeded to open the
door by pulling the latch in the pres
ence OF Castro, and he then left to
take legal advice and got a warrant
for Mr.. Crookham. Mrs. Murray had
previously demanded that Castro turn
over the horse TO her, but he had al.
ways refused on the ground that he
had a lease on the horse.
In his complaint Castro swears that
he is the owner of the horse, which, Of
course, is not the case. Mrs. Murray
and her counsel also claim to be able
TO show that Castro never had lease
of the horse. as he claims, and that
Mr.. Murray never made any dying re-
quest that he be put in sole charge Of
the animal In any event they say
that the horse will not be taken away
from Salem, and that all agreements
for his services with Salem people
will be fulfilled to the letter. They
claim that Castro has not treated the
horse right, and that they do not con
slider that he is proper person to
have the handling of the animal
