The Times Scholarship Contest

Public interest in this unique enter prise of the Los Angeles Times seems to be greater than ever before, notwith- standing the fact that this is the fourth year that the contest has been cun- ductcd. The generous offer of The Times to give school children an oppor- tunity to secure a years tuition in one of n large number uf the best cduCa- tional institutions in Southern Caliior- mia, which The Times offers. seems to appeal to everybody and great numbers ot them are assisting the worthy young stcrs who have entered the contest by sending in paid subscriptions to The Times. From 10 to l0OO points are allowed n contestant, according to the length of time for which subscription IS paid, and the school-boy or girl hay ing the largest number of points when the contest closes can select from list of about thirty schools the scholarship of their choice. Besides scholarship for each, the first ten scoring the high est number of points will be entitled to cash prizes ranging from S250 down to s25. The contest will close September $. No more worthy act could l'e per formed than by helping one of these ambitions children to secure good education.

SUIT oE MUCH IMPORTANCE
Constitutional Principles snd State
 Rights Said to Have Been Violated

An important action involving consti- tutional principles and state rights was commenced tn test case filed m the superior court yesterday afternoon. The action was brought by John Cald- we'll and Alice NJ. Husscy. heirs at law of Lethea NJ. Caldwell against George II. Ralluu. complaint in cicctmcnt.
 The plaintiffs claim that on April ls, lS13, Icthea NJ. Caldwell. wife oi John Caldwell, one of the plaintiffs, made application to the surveyor general of the State to purchase all of section l0 township h south. range l5 east. San Bernardino Meridian, comprising 6iO acres and being school land. At that time and until her death, Mrs. Caldwell was a resident of Nevada City in this state. On September 2S, 1893, the com plaint states that the register of the state land office approved the applica- ton and Mrs. Caldwell paid f5O, or 2O per cent of the purchase price of the A9AAh 0hN eAf NiANN AtAhNhNHh NF l, 1894. She was then given certih- cate of purchase. The land is now val ued by the plaintiffs at 5000 above all costs and claims.
 On July 6. 1902, the plaintiffs claim that the state issued patent to all the land to George II. Ballou, notwith- standing that tho plaintiffs certificate was in effect. This 1t Is claimed is a violation of one of the sections and articles of th' amendments to the con stitutions of the United States. The plaintiffs made application to the at torney general of the state for leave to bring suit in the name of the People of the State of California to vacate the patent, but that official denied the re- quest.
 The property involved is in the Im- perial Valley due east of the city of lm- perial and is traverscd by the line of the ancient sea beach.-Union

Republican Forecast.

San Francisco, Nov. 7.-On the eve
of election apathy continues on the
coast. While the campaign has been
generally a hard one, the spellbinders
have been unable to arouse any great
enthusiasm. Good weather is prom
ised for tomorrow and a fairly full
vote anticipated.
The principal interest in California
lies in the size of Roosevelt's majori-
ty, and the result of the vote for as
semblymen, on which hinges the Sc
lection of a U. S. senator to succeed
Bard. Republicans this morning
claim a majority of $4,000 for Roose-
welt.
1t is practically conceded by the
democrats that Nevada will go for
Roosevelt, but they claim they will
elect the congressman and control the
legislature, which will select a u s
senator.
Idaho seems safely republican.
The forecast in Utah is that the
state will go republican, with the pos
sible exception of congressman. The
new American party (anti-Mormon)
claims 5000 votes tomorrow. Thii
is the bitterest campaign in the his
tory of the state. The theme of sun
day sermons by all sects yesterday
was the Mormon issue in all its differ
ent phases.

GAMBLING IN BAKER.
Open Town Question the Issue In n
Bitter Campaign.

Baker City, Nov. 7.-Since the clos
ing of gambling in Pendleton some
weeks ago, this city has filled up
with gamblers of every class, until
the issue in tomorrow's city election
will be ON the open town question.
Two candidates for mayor are in
the field, C. A. Johns, the avowed
candidate of the open town forces
and F. M. Saxton, an advocate of the
closed town policy.
The entire city campaign hinges
on the determination of Sheriff Har"
vey X. Brown to keep the town
closed, as he has very successfully
done for the past two months. He
has issued a letter to the public,
stating that he will enforce the law,
no matter which candidate for mayor
is elected, and that he cannot see
how the open town people have any
hopes of accomplishing their object
by the election of mayor. when the
sheriff Is empowered and author
lied to enforce the law on gambling
and Sunday closing, and that he is
determined to do so, as long as he
occupies the office.

Oharge Russian brutality.

Toxic, Nov. THE imperial head
quarters today issued a statement
charging the Russian defenders Of
Port Arthur with the misuse of the
Red Cross badge and with maltreating
and killing the wounded. A number
of cases are cited.
A Japanese hospital orderly was
wounded and left on the field. The
Russians took his badge and then
killed him. A wounded Japanese pri-
vate lay six days Stimulating death
Russians had bayonetted and shot
his wounded comrades and then rob-

PREPARING BoR WAR.
China Buying Supplies for War, OF
England

London. Nov. "A Manchester
man. finding that he could not get
some goods delivered the other day
for home trade on account of the
pressure of Chinese orders, took
steps to discover the nature of this
increase in Far East activity, He
had good reason to believe no boom
in Chinese trade had set in, and his
inquiries showed that the new or
ders were of n very special character
indeed, including one placed by the
Chinese government of a half-million
yards of cotton duck for tents
This is taken to mean either that
China has made up its mind to take
part in the struggle between Russia
and Japan, or that it is supplying ia
pan with war material. Well in
formed Britons are inclined to ac'
cept the first theory as the more
probable of the two.

Feeling that 1t is unjust to permit
transient merchants who do not pay
taxes to the city or county, to cJn-e
in with cheap large sto KS OF goods.
sell at slaughter prices, take thoui-
snds of dollars out of the county
without leaving a cent IN the way Of
taxes or licenses and very little in
the way of rent, Pendleton merchants
are formulating a city ordinance TO
be presented to the city council In the
near future, fixing the license of tenn
porary merchants at "A high rate, un-
less such merchants give a sufficient
bond that they are located in the city
for at least one year.
Other cities have such ordinances
and they prove to be practical and
satisfactory to home merchants, who
bear the burdens of government. The
same law prevails with regard to ped
dlers, who come in competition with
merchants in many lines, and who are
only temporary in every place they
visit.
The details of the ordinance are
not yet outlined, but practically all
the city are unanimous on the plan,
and the matter will probably be per-
fected Immediately after election.
II is argued by home merchants
that the property owner who rents
to the transient charges the transient
no more than he does the Dermanent

Turner's Election Is Sure.

Olympia, WASH, Nov. 7.-On the
eve of election the democrats claim
Turner for governor by a plurality ex-
ceeding 1000, and say they will carry
Judson for lieutenant governor by "a
small majority. They concede the
three republican candidates for con-
gressmen. probably by pluralities of
1z,sSe and the republican national
ticket by a smaller vote. Republic
cans tacitly admit the defeat of Mead
for governor. Turner's election Will
be due to state railway issues. The
state Legislature will undoubtedly be
republican.
