Who Do Not Suit Constituents.

SEATTLE, July 31.-Corporation
Counsel Calhoun has rendered an
opinion to Controller Riplinger setting
forth that the proposed councilman
recall amendment to the city charter
would be legal submission to a vote
of the people at the next general city
election, March 6, 1906, and, if carried,
the recall system would be legally eff
fective.
simultaneously with this announce
ment comes one from the citizens
committee in charge of the matter that
they will Immediately begin the cir
culation of a petition which must be
signed by 20 per cent Of the voters at
the last election to have the amend
ment put on the ballot. This Will re-
quire about 1000 signatures. If the
amendment carries, thereafter when a
councilman is not considered what he
should be, upon a petition of rs per
cent of the voters of his ward he can
be removed and a special election held
in the word to select a successor.

From Prescott they came on to Walla
Walla, reaching here at p. m.
The entire trip was made without an
accident or breakdown of any kind.
However, the main driving chain was
parted twice while pulling through
sand two feet deep with the driving
wheels roped. One tire was punctured
coming into Walla Walla near the
state penitentiary. The engine never
refused to run at any time. The car
bonator became clogged with dust
once which was removed.
The machine which is ready to make
the same trip over at once, can be seen

Prophet China has the dragon on
her flag. Russia is called Bear or
Beast, also controlled by church; Mo-
manned says there is one God and
that he is His prophet, thus taking
Christ's pace.
I'm 1900 the dragon began getting
ready for the last great battle against
God Almighty. Then there was lull
before the pains. Next in order is the
Beast (Russia), and she is about
through; then next in order is the
false prophet, Turkey, who will gather
the nations for the last great battle
on this earth, and every nation will
be in this battle and there will be
such a time of trouble as never was.
"And then it is that the earth shall
cast out her dead, and those that are
in the dust of the earth shall awake,
some to everlasting life and some to
shame. Jesus said the hour cometh
in which all that are in graves SHALL
come forth And they won't go to
heaven, either, as some teach, because
Jesus said, AS / said unto the Jews
so I now say unto you, where go
(heaven) you cannot come, but I will
come back to you again. With all
this proof there are many men right
here in Seattle who will not believe
even if a man were to arise from
tho dead"

SUCCESSFUL TRIP MADE FROM
THE DALLEs TO PORTAGE
ROAD TERMINUS.
State Board Has Announced Temper
airy ScheduIe-Wheat Rate Will
Be Is Cents Per Ton.

The Dalles City, under the COM
mand of Captain Gear, made the round
trip from The Dalles to Big Eddy, the
terminus of the portage railway Sat-
uriay in As minutes. Although Cap
tain Gear had never made the trip be-
fore there was not an incident that
could be called exciting. Friday eve
ming j. c. Flanders, president Of the
Columbia Northern railway. Mr.. Tai
bot, it's new manager, Captain Fries of
the engineer corps. DR.. Blalock OF
Walla Walla and J. N. Teal of Port
land went to The Dalles to make the
trip. The steamer left The Dalles at
sos a. m. and ran up to the steamer
Metlako at the foot of the rapids,
where she tied up for a few minutes
to allow the new manager to inspect
the boat The time made from that
point was as follows:
Left steamer Metlako at 500 a. M;
arrived lower end of rapids, 1923; ar
rived upper end of rapids, 5:27; ar
rived Big Eddy, $50; left Big Eddy,
5:35; arrived at The Dalles, $50.
About a month ago Captain Gray
took the steamer Glenola over the same
run with 1874 pounds of steam and with
the water at least 10 feet higher than
it is now. 1t was the first time Cap
tain Gray ever made the trip.
While it is the intention of the gov
eminent engineers to make further i'm
provement at Three Mile it is believed
the navigability of this stretch of
water. After returning to The Dalles
the party again went to the Big Eddy
and inspected the portage road from
one end to the other in company with
Engineer McClelland and found it in
good order and ready for business.
The portage board has adopted the fol-
lowing temporary schedule of rates
for passengers and freight:
East bound freight-All items COW
cred by third and fourth class rates
under western classification, a ton, so
cents; first and second class, ton, ST..
West bound freight-All kinds of
grain delivered on cars a ton, 25 cents;
all other classes of freight, ton, so
cents.
Passengers, one trip, 25 cents.
Rates on lumber, livestock and GER
tain other articles will be announced
in dut time and will be special.
The contract for the first work on
the canal will be closed within a few
days and the work started. About
$35O,OOO will be expended under the
contract and will be followed, it is be-
lieved, by continuous work. the
spending of this large sum of money
at Cello will make that place an i'm
portant point While the representa-
tives of the Columbia Northern did not
state definitely what traffic arrange
ments they would make, it is believed
there will be no difficulty in arrang-
ing terms for exchange of business. In
The Dalles the committee having the
matter in charge are perfecting ar
engagements to bring the portage road
into The DalleS.
