~ they have not succeeded. Many
combinations have been suggested, but
SO far they seem to have proven in
capable of being assembled into a
shape sufficiently substantial to show
the Independent and uninstructed dele
gates how another candidate can be
named.
Two New Candidates Suggested.
The opposition to Judge Parker. In
its effort to tighten the lines and
make sure of holding the delegations
now counted as opposed to him have
brought out two new candidates in the
persons of Ex-Governor Prttison, Of
Pennsylvania, and General Miles. The
wisdom Of casting the votes known to
be for German for other candidates
has been canvassed, and this course
practically decided upon. 1t is not yet
absolutely determined just what as
pirant will be thus complimented, but
the choice lies between Pattison and
Cockrell.
Situation Il Not SO Lively.
The fact that another day has
passed without bringing to the fore
any figure around which the anti
Parker element seems able to rally
has taken a great deal Of life out of
the situation. While the contest over
the platform and the second place on
the ticket afferd great deal of inter
est when fought out in the convention
itself, the majority Of delegates is al
most wholly interested in the head
of the ticket. The result is that an
air Of apathy peryades the lobbies and
other places where the rank and file
assemble.

retreating toward the door and
looking for something to

feet of the door, Palmer turned and
picked up lawn mower. He ad-
vanced and raised the mower as
though he would strike Hunt with
it. Hunt retreated and got behind
the door, and behind the counter.
Palmer let the lawn mower down,
went to the outside, advanced four
or dve steps to the east and picked
up pitchfork that was leaning
against window on the outside.
Hunt saw him through the window
and started for the show case at the
other end of the counter. Palmer
got the pitchfork and started in the
door, with the pitchfork pointed in
a horizontal position in front of him
and he said, Here is something |

had the fork in a fighting position.
BY this time Hunt had gotten his
revolver and was behind the coun- |

since February 1904, was working
for him on 10th this month. Mr..
Palmer came into the store about
ten O'Clock in the morniug and
brought casting off disc cultiva-
tor that was broken. He wanted
me to get another casting and fur
nish it free. / told him to come
back in the afternoon and see Mr..
Hunt about it. He came back be-
tween three and four o clock in tte
afternoon and the first saw Of him
he was talking to MIR. Hunt in the
back of the store. Mr.. Hunt had
made up deposit for the bank and
called me to take it to the bank.
When l returned they were still
talking about the cultivator. Mr..
Palmer said that ne was going to
bring the plow back, that it was no
good. Hunt told him it was first
class plow, and that he would tele-
graph for repairs and send man
out Monday to repair the plow.
Palmer said that hewould not have
the plow under any consideration
and Hunt told him that if the plow
had not given satisfaction, when he |
had continued corning in there and |
running an open account and never
made any complaint in regard to
the plow. Palmer said he was go
ing to bring it back and was not
going to pay for it. Hunt told him
he had his note for it and would re-
sort TO the courts to collect it.
Palmer said that he could do all he
pleased but he could not collect for
the cultivator and he said that he
would sue for $50 damages the cul-
tivator did his crop. This was
spoken in an angry tone and both
seemed more or less worked up.
Hunt then asked him for the pay
ment on his open account and asked
him to give him his note for it
with security. Palmer said he
wouldn't do it as he had
made arrangements to run the

SHOULD REASON TOGETHER.

1t would be we'll if the Northwestern
Gas & Electric Company would imi-
tate the example of the three railroad
presidents, Hill, Mellen and Mohler
with their patrons and granting a val
untary reduction in rates. 1t would be
good idea for the company to meet
all their patrons in a mass meeting
and there explain to them the condi-
tons under which the company is
operating and state whether or not
there is any prospect OF a voluntary
reduction of rates when the new power
plant is in operation.
The new plant should be ready for
business very soon, and it might be
the better plan not to hold the con-
ference with patrons until it has been
connected with the system in this city.
Then the company should be able to
announce cheaper rates, if there is any
intention on the part of the manage
ment of keeping the promises made a
year ago to pacify protesting consum-
ers of the company's products.
There is no doubt that mass meet
ing of citizens will soon be held by
citizens to protest against excessive
rates and to agree upon a remedy un-
less the company shall head it off by
rons and granting voluntarily a rea-
sOnable reduction in rates.

HIGHER ADVERTISING RATES A
NECESSITY.

The new wage scale and eight-hour
city through an agreement between
employers and the local Typographical
Union will necessitate a considerab BILE
increase in advertising rates after jan
uary 1, 1905, when the new scale goes
into effect. For years advertising
rates in Walla Walla have been the
lowest in the state and lower than in
any other city of like population in
the United States. The rates here are
just about half the rates charged adj
vertisers by daily newspapers in Ev-
erett and Bellngham.
Under such conditions the daily pa
pers of this city have done we'll to
play even, and their owners have had
the satisfaction of performing a labor
of love with little thanks and less
glory as a return for the money in
vested and the labor involved. With
a heavy increase in the wage scale to
begin on the first day of the new year
it would be simply impossible for
either daily paper to pay expenses if
the prevailing low advertising rates
were to be maintained. A material in
crease in the rates will be an absolute
necessity as means of self preserva-
ton on the part of the newspapers of
the city, and it is hoped that business
men will appreciate the situation and
meet it in the proper spirit.
town is judged abroad more by the
character and appearance of it's news
papers than by anything else. and if
business men with to advertise Walla
Walla as live, progressive town, de-
sirable home for newcomers, they
should do their best to make the news
papers prosperous. In return the
newspapers will do their utmost to
make improvements, keeping pace with
the growth of the town, and to pro-
mote the trade and prosperity of their
patrons

assistance OF WhatcOm county was
sought. A deal, it is alleged. had been
made with plaintiffs in September,
1908, whereby the paper was to be
sold at a handsome profit. This DEAL
it is alleged, Mr.. Farrell did not wish
to see consummated, and he sent E. c.
Neufelder from Seattle to get con-
troll of the paper for the Great North
ern. Neufelder made. an agreement
with plaintiffs by which their stock
was turned over in trust to him until
after the campaign when the plant
was to be returned to the, control Of
plaintiffs. Besides they were to re-
ceive large money consideration for
the use of their newspaper.
1t is further alleged that three
weeks after this contract had been
signed, c. P Chamberlain, clerk of j.
D. Farrell, appeared upon the scene,
ousted the Thomas brothers from con-
troll of the property and placed f. H.
Cowan and S. M. Bruce in charge.
The plaintiffs now ask to have their
paper given back to them and that
they be paid damages for the wrongful
acts of defendants
This suit proves beyond question
that j. D. Farrell deliberately planned
to control the republican state con-
vention, and the conference held in his
private car during the convention to
decide on candidate for governor was
simply the climax of his efforts to de-
feat Mcbride and a railway commits
sion. If Farrell does not control the
policy of Governor Mead it will be be-
cause he has been fooled in his choice
of a tool to do his work.

FARRELL'S PLOT REVEALED.

A suit begun at Belilngham throws
additional light on the methods used
by railroad lobbyists to defeat Gov
ernor Mcbride and nominate a man of
their choice for governor. H. E.
THOMAS, former manager, and E. H
Thomas, former editor .of the Belling-
ham Reveille, have brought an action
against the Great Northern Railway
}. d. Farrell, c. P. Chamberlain, and
L. c. Neufelder for the sum of $4,000
owing to the alleged failure of defend
ants to fulfill certain contracts enter
ed into by them with plaintiffs involv
ing personal property known as the
Daily and the Semi Weekly Reveille.
The complaint is lengthy and goes
into the transaction in detail. It AYERS
that it was the desire of j. D. Farrell
assistant to President Hill of the Great
Northern, to control the politics of
TINS state so as to prevent the nomi-
nation of Governor Henry Mcbride
and the embodiment of a railroad
commission plank in the republican
state platform. To accomplish this the
