SmokeIess Pittsburo.

P1TTSBURG, Sept. -Smokeless
Pittsburg is one of the hopes held for.
ward by H. c. Prick, George Westing-
house, Jr., and other financiers. They
have been interested by General A. H
Warner of Marietta, Ohio, in plan tc
erect massive central power station
about thirty miles from Pittsburg
Here coal is to be fed into furnaces
which will generate steam which in
turn will generate electricity. This is
to be cabled to Pittsburg at one-half
the cost of the present production of
power in the city.
The cost of central plant will be
about $15,OOO,000 according to present
plans. General Warner has leased
5000 acres of coal lands. The promo
tiers also propose furnishing power to
a dozen towns surrounding Pittsburg.

NOW FOR MAYOR HUNTS VETO.

The city council last night by a
vote of four to one, two members be-
ing absent, awarded the contract for
paving North Fourth and Elm streets
to the Warren Construction company.
1t is evident that Frank Rees of Los
Angeles, VINO bamboozled the council
into throwing away fifteen hundred
dollars for experimenting in the OIL
ing of streets, has made good in his
boast that he could fix a majority Of
the council for the bitulithic company.
He was brought here by Archambeau
the chief striker for the company, for
the purpose of lining up councilmen
whom Arcnambeau could not reach by
mis- hypnotic influence. Rees has
made good" and he will no doubt be
well rewarded for his smooth and oily
work. Rees is one of the most bland,
affable, unctuous and plausible boost
erS who ever worked confidence
game on a city council, and he would
make his mark as a fixer of aldermen
in st. Louis, Chicago, New York or
Philadelphia. He is a hail fellow we'll
met, good looking, likeable and ap-
parently guileless and ingenious in
all his ways, but ne has a mysteri-
Gus power of persuasion, the secret
of which can be more easily imag-
lned than proven. 1t is not the first
time that he has been used by the
Warren Construction company in Sc
curing fat contracts from city coun-
ellis and it will not be the last
But the bitulithic people are not
yet entirely out of the woods. Under
the charter if the mayor disapproves
of any ordinance he may veto it by
presenting mis- objections in writing
at the next regular meeting of the
council. Under this provision Mayor
Hunt has the power to veto the Or
dinances providing for the pavement
of Spokane, North Fourth and Elm
streets with bitulithic material. The
mayor has some notions of his own
about the rights of the people and
the benefits of competition and it
would not be surprising if ne should
make use of his veto power 1t will
then take five votes in the council to
pass the ordinances over the may
ors veto and by that time public in
dignation may become so strong and
threatening that it will not be EASY
to hold five members of the council
in line for the hold-up PROPOSE lions
of the Warren Construction companv's
monopoly. If Mayor Hunt decides
to make use of his veto power in be-
half of fair competition in the award
ing of paving contracts he will he
sustained by an overwhelming ma
jority of the people.

TELLS CONFERENCE HOW THE
WOUNDED WERE TREATED IN
LATE WAR.
Precautions Taken Against Infection
Most Valuable Lecture on Subject
in Modern Times.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 27.-Surgeon
General Suzuki of the Japanese navy
today read a 10000 word paper at the
convention Of military surgeons. Unit
ed States members say it was the most
valuable document of the kind of mod
ern times. He told how he treated
the wounded in the naval battles be-
tween Japan and Russia. He ordered
the sailors to don clean clothing i'm
mediately before battle to prevent
infection of their wounds. He made
each man wear disinfected cotton in
his ears to protect the drums from
conclusion. Wounds were not treated
during the engagement if it were pos
sible to wait. The percentage of
deaths from wounds was very small
Most Of the fatalities were from
drowning and mine explosion. The
convention gave a vote of thanks to
Suzuki

Because forty thousand dollars too
much is alleged to have been paid the
Barber Asphalt company on paving
contracts last year in the absence of
competition is no reason why the
Warren bithulithic company should
be given contracts without COMPETE
ton this year. The lesson learned
from last years experience is that
competition is good thing for prop
erty owners in reducing the cost of
paving. No individual or corpora
ton should nave a monopoly in paw
ing contracts or in any other contracts
in Walla Walla.

Mack Swain Conpanx.

Another large audience greeted the
Mack Swain company at the Keylor
Grand last night when La Belle
Marie was given. The performance
was better than the first night and
the company was given much an
plause by the audience. Cora King
Swain carried the leading role and
demonstrated that she is an actress
of great promise. Her portrayal of
the character Of Marie was an ex-
ceptionally good piece of work and
brought forth much praise from the
house. The other members of the
company acquitted themselves in a
very creditable manner. The Howards
were again given a hearty reception
Tonight the company will present
the interesting melodrama, "Califor-
nia," which is said to be one of the
best the company produces.

Local Man Relates Of Novel Obser.
walton He Made While up North.
This is the story of a man, a snake
a grasshopper ana a fish; but it is
not fish story. At any rate, Angus
tus r. Dorwin, manager of Upton's
cigar store, who tells the story, de-
clares it to be solemn fact.
Did Dorwin ever lie?
He never did.
Therefore this story must be true
He says:
Il felt in need of a little rest this
spring and went up to the northern
part Of the state to recuperate. 1 fl
nally ended at a point about so miles
north of Spokane, at the shore of a
little lake by mill.
Il was tired and sat down to. rest
While 1 sat there I saw something
moving in the grass quite near to me-
1 watched closely, and there, gliding
quietly down toward the water was
snake. How big? Oh, about six
feet long. Yep. Funniest looking
snake I ever saw.
Il thought 1 would catch the Great
ure, although 1 am not fond of snakes,
you know.
We'll, the snake paused and lay
very quiet. I wondered what the game
could be. Suddenly it gave a swish
of it's tail and to my establishment
caught in the curved bit of bony sub
stance at the end OF it's tail a grass
hopper. Then it started down to-
ward the lake again. l confess I was
puzzled, for how could that snake eat
a grasshopper with it's tail?
when the snake reached the water
he turned around and slipped in back
wards until nothing but his mead
was on the ground. 1 can tell you l

must be a snake which was going
in for some kind of reform movement,

THE CONGRESSMAN

There is an old maxim among child
rem that seeing is believing" 1t
may not be very correct in form, but
it is nevertheless significant. This
maxim receives a fresh illustration in
the cases of a number of congress-
men who accompanied Secretary Taft
to the Philippines. Men who went
over there fully persuaded That the Fill
ipinOs were ready for self-government
are coming back of a different mind,
and men who went over there opposed
to any reduction of the tariff on i'm
portations from the Philippines, are
standing for free trade or for very rad
ical modification of the existing sched-
ules.
The unpreparedness of the Filipinos
for government was best demon
strated in a public meeting held for the
discussion of the question and to af-
, ford leading native agitators Of indie
pendence a chance to air their views.
These agitators displayed so much ig-
norance of the theory of self -givern-
ment and such a lack of capacity for it
that they settled the case adversely
to themselves by their own plans.
A great many amusing things de-
veloped in that public conference il
Illustrating the ignorance of the Filipinos
of world affairs and of their relation to
them. One speaker, for example, ar
gued that the diversity Of tongues
among the Filipinos was no obstacle
to selfgovernment, and to prove it he
cited what ne believed to be the stu
alton in Great Britain where" as he
said, there are three languages-the
English, the Irish and the Scotch
But the ignorance of the Filipinos
was not much more marked or deplora-
BILE than that of some of the congress-
men, before they went, and VINO come
back to combat the theories which
they have heretofore defended. This
is particularly noticeable in the at
titude of both republicans and demo-
Gratis toward the question of tariff reg
ulations between the islands and the
United States. There has been very
substantial progress made toward alb
solute free trade, While the representa-
tives Of the tobacco and sugar interests
cations whatever, are prepared to make
substantial concessions. 1t cost some
thlng to send these congressman to the
Philippines, but it would probably pay
to ship out a batch of them every year |
The same is true with regard to
Alaska. Comparatively few Of the
members of either house have ever
visited that country or have any con-
ception of its extent or it's resources. |
and no interest in it's DEVELOPMENT. If
we are not to make a diSgraceful fail |
ure of all our attempts at governing
dependencies and outlying districts.
we must either send the lawmakers in |
considerable numbers into those dis
tricts, or the lawmakers must send rep
resentatives who will bring back to |
them the facts which they will be will
ing to accept and act upon. |
