It NAY Be JUDGE WILSON
POLITICIANS SAY HE WOULD
SUCCEED THos. H. BRENTs
AS SUPERIOR JUDGE.
Dunphy Would Have First Call on the
Attorneyship If Vacancy Should
Occur.

Now that John L. Sharpstein has
stepped out of the way of Judge Brents
in the federal judeship race and has
announced that under no circum-
stances will he be an aspirant for the
position of superior judge in the event
of the advancement of Judge Brents,
local politicians assert that Lester S.
Wilson will stand the best chance for
appointment to the superior bench of
Walla Walla county. There is no
doubt that Mr.. Wilson wants the place
and the job would not have to be
handed to him on silver platter to
have him accept it. He stands well
with the politicians and it is believed
that every member of the Walla Walla
Bar association would heartily endorse
him for the position.
AS has been previously stated in the
Evening Statesman, the only objec-
tons that might be raised to Mr.. Will
sons appointment is the fact that it
would create vacancy in the county
attorneyship. With majority of the
board of county commissioners being
democrats, and following the preced-
emf established by the former republi-
can board, that Office would certainly
be given to a democrat. This the re-
publicans would like to prevent but
they have been unable so far to hit
upon any plan to keep a democrat out
of the office.
While there are a number Of demo-
cratic attorneys who would be willing
to accept the place, it is conceded that
should the vacancy occur William H.
Dunphy has the first call on the job.
He made the race against Wilson in
the last campaign and he would un-
doubtedly receive the appointment if
he desired it. Although being a DEM
ocrat, Mr.. Dunpny stands very we'll in
a business way with B. D. Croker,
who is still the real political boss'
Of the republicans in Walla Walla
county. Crocker would not object to
Dunphy's appointment, in fact, it is
said that he would rather see Dunphy
get it than any other democrat in the
county. While Croker was managing
the estate of Mrs. Elinor O'Neill, his
sister-in -law, he employed Garrecht &
Dunphy as his attorneys, and it is now
that should there be chance for Dun
ply, Croker would offer no objections
to his appointment.

STRIKE STILL ON AT COURT HOUSE
Commissioners Refuse to Rescnd Order Reducing Clerks
Salaries Assessor Bergman Pleads His Case.

rected any impression that he was
driving at Mr.. Bergman, but made it
plain that if the republican county Of
ficers would endeavor to stand in with
the board in giving the county its
moneys worth. everything would be
serene, but if they persisted in pulling
missioners there would be trouble and
plenty of it.
Want Economical Administration.
This board is endeavoring to give
me taxpayers an economical admins
tration and as far as it is within it's
power it will do it," the chairman said.
I'VE are not trying to make any
grandstand plays or encroach on the
rights of any officeholder. as it has
been insinuated 1t looks to me that
as long as the board. does business in
free and easy manner, we are alb
fine fellows. But the minute we offer
an objection to something that we have
right to then we are assailed as
demagogues ad insinuations are thrown
broadcast that we are trying to make
grandstand plays. When we raised
the salaries of the second deputies in
the auditors and treasurers office to
$50 a month, one democrat and one
consider politics in the matter at all.
1t was simply question in our minds
whether or not these men were not
worth it, We decided they were and
acted accordingly. When we made the
order to reduce the salaries of clerks
in the various offices we did so after
fully considering the matter.
Assessor Bergman spoke up and
said that the commissioners were not
the only ones to have troubles. THE
assessors office is a public football
he facetiously remarked.
Yes and the commissioners are
piece of it," the chairman retorted.
AS the board did not show any in
clination to rescind the order reducing
the salaries of clerks Assessor Berry
man branched out on other business
pertaining to the coming work of as
sessing property and the incident
closed.
Clerk Hill Made Request.
Prior to Assessor Berrymans ap-
pearance before the board County
Clerk Hill made a request for extra
help during the jury session Of the
superior court. He stated that during
the court session it was imperative
to have extra help in order to keep up
the work. His services were needed in
the court room and his deputy's time
was taken up in attending to desk
work The commissioners took the
matter up after few questions had
been asked of the clerk.

HAVE ANOTHER CITY SCHOOL
BOARD OF EDUCATION HAS
PURCHASED SITE IN THE
GREEN ADDITION.
Will Probably Erect Fifty Thousand
Dollar Building During the
Present Year.

Realizing for some time in the past
that the crowded condition Of the
public school buildings in Walla Wal
la would sooner or later necessitate
the members of the city board Of edu-
cation have had under consideration
the purchase of another site within
the limits of the district. Many de-
sirable locations have been proposed
but yesterday the board decided to
purchase a tract of land in the Green
addition, and if the conditions war
rant to erect a twostory brick build
ing, to cost approximately $4,000,
some time during the present year.
The land, for which the district will
pay $500, is block 10, consists of
three and a half acres and Is looted at
the corner Of Isaacs' avenue and Clin-
ton streets. It is an ideal location and
new school term it will relieve the
overcrowded condition Of both the
Baker and Sharpstein schools. 1t is
proposed to alter the districts Of both
these schools and make room SO that
number of the pupils now attending
the Lincoln school can be transferred
to the Sharpstein or Baker.
All the schools in the city are now
overcrowded. At the Baker it has been
necessary to conduct one of the grades
in the basement Of the building. Two
more rooms have been added to the
Lincoln school and one more grade
made at the Washington.
The members of the board are con-
graduating themselves that they were
able to procure the site at the figure
Of $780, At the price single lots are
selling for in that portion of the Green
addition the property is well worth
$1,000.

There was no change in the strike

Clerks Hugh Bentley and Mrs. Annie
L. Cadman of the assessors Office and
l.. C. Goodwin, draughtsman in Sur
veyor Loehr's Office, who walked out
yesterday upon learning that the COM
missioners had cut their salaries to
$3.50 a day, have not returned to work
and Assessor Bergman and Deputy
Rorke are worrying along the best they
can
Assessor Tells of Strike.
Assessor Bergman visited the COM
missioners this morning, and ex-
planned that he had little strike on
his hands as result of the boards
action in cutting down salaries. He
stated that the county for the past
eight years had paid clerks in the as
SCISSORS office SO day and he thought
that it was not excessive, considering
that it required more than clerical ex-
perience to do the work exacted. The
two clerks, who had walked out, he
said, were competent to make plats,
describe property and do any part of
the work around the office. Just at
this time it was a very embarrassing
position he found himself in. The
work of assessing the real and per-
sonal property for this year would
commence the first of the month and
it was absolutely necessary that his
books be in shape by that time.
During his recital the three COM
missioers had studiously been gazing
out of the window and it was fully a
minute after the assessor finished
speaking before the silence was broken.
Finally Commissioner Struthers in-
quired of the assessor whether or not
if he was furnished with another good
deputy in addition to Chief Deputy
Rorke the work could not be kept up.
To this the assessor gave mega
tive answer, stating that it required
at least four persons to keep up the
work and that any one of the force
must be competent to take charge OF
any and all work pertaining to the
office.
Officers Should Be Competent.
At this point Chairman Morrow
spoke up and said that when county
officers were elected to an office the
taxpayers of the county took it for
granted that the officer was fully cap
able Of managing his Office and doing
his share of the work.
The assessor took the remark as
being personal and replied that he was
doing as much work, if not more, than
any of his help and was fully compe
tent to manage the affairs of his Of
fee Chairman Morrow hastily cor

Earthquakes are more frequent In

them. \ great zone which is particu-
larly subject to earthquakes encircles
the earth. This belt includes the Med

Indies, Central America, the Hawaiian
Islands, Japan, China, India, Persia
and Asia Minor. 1t is believed that
the larger number Of earthquakes orig
mate beneath the ocean. In places
where the bottom Of the sea shows

are numerous. They have, in fact,

The custom Of placing the property
of the dead in their graves he's always
been followed by the true Romany
gypsies. 1t is due to some old tradition
of Ill luck attending the possession OF
an article whose former owner is gone,
and much valuable property Is buried
in this belief. There Is also send'
ment among gypsies against the pos
session Of anything that has belonged
to a dead person, because 1t serves to
remind the Twin 81 the departed and
Inspire in them a dread Of death. The
custom Of burying their property with
gypsy dead dates from the earliest his.
tory Of the Romany tribes.
