The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-09-01

WASHINGTON, b. c., Sept. l.
Two important new rules of the post
office department go into effect today.
One of them is of particular import
ance to newspapers, while the other
principally affects trade magazines
and advertising periodicals. Under the
first rule the postofhce department
will refuse to transmit at newspaper
rate any calendars, sheet music, pat
terms, blocks of post cards, cut-out
animal pictures, cardboard spectacles,
discs of soluble paint, outline draw
ings, etc., but will demand regular
merchandise rates for them. Under
the other decision all magazines con-
tanning samples of paper, inserted In
the magazines for purposes of adver-
tisement will have to pay fourth-class
rate instead of the cheaper second
class rate.

Opening Territory In Texas.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, Sept. L.
In accordance with a law passed by
the last legislature a tract of state
lands, comprising about ten thousand
square miles was thrown open to set
tlement today. The greater part OF
the land lies west of line drown
from here to the southwest corner of
New Mexico. There are, however,
smaller tracts in nearly every county.
The conditions existing in the terri
tories thrown open to settlement vary
considerably and while some lands are
fertile and we'll supplied with water,
others are not very suitable for agri-
cultural purposes. Some Of the barren
districts may become available for cul-
tivation by artificial irrigation. Up to
the present time the demand for lands
under this homestead grant has not
been very great.

MANY MEMBERS OF ORDER ARE
DISSATISFIED WITH RAISE
IN RATES.
Thousands Of Older Members Are
Considering the Propriety Of Sew
ering Connection With Order.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Sept. There is
considerable dissatisfaction among
the older members of the knights of
Honor, fraternal organization with
a large membership scattered through
out the United States over the in
craese in the rates which goes into
effect today. According to state
ments made by local members thou
sands Of the older members seriously
consider the advisability of severing
their connection with the organization.
The change, which was decided on
some time ago by the officers of the
supreme lodge differs essentially from
the change which caused SO much dis
satisfaction in the ranks of the Royal
Arcanum. It affects only members be-
tween 50 and 70 years OF age. For
merly all members over So years Of
age were assessed So per month,
while under the new arrangements
members Of seventy will be assessed
SIS month on $4,000 insurance; those
of 50 years, $14; those of Sc years,
$3.50 and so on down the scale.
officials of the order state that the
increase in the rates became neces-
sary owing to the fact that during the
-
paid out in death benefits to families
of members between the ages OF 80
and 70 than was received from the
membership at that age.

a strike Of plumbers began in Greens

and several helpers walked out of the

of disagreement over new bylaw OF
she local union which prohibits un-

from the shop to job to which be has
besa assigned to work.
J: At meeting tonight the master
plumbers decided that they would not
reconize the bylaw. but rely upon the
contract signed with the union recent

senseless, and that they have a right

young leaders, who without exception re-
fused to allow their names to be considered
1t is claimed by the republicans that the
only way Col Davis could win would be by
the lavish expenditure of money, that the
district under ordinary conditions is thor
oughly republican. Col. Davis, by expend-
ing money, would make the fight livelier
than it otherwise would be, and would
bring more of a democratic vote out. There
are democrats who declare that Col. Davis
will not spend much money, despite the
fact that he is a millionaire several times
over He was lavish in his campaign of
1900. getting the poorest results where the
most was put, and now he is little chary.
1t Is claimed by not few that he took the
nomination because it was forced him,
but those who think he will unite his purse
strings will be fooled. He will simply let
the campaign go and defeat Will not give
him the least worry.
Mr.. James s. Lakin. the republican nomi-
nee. who attended the committee meeting
at Keyser yesterday, expressed the greatest
confidence in the result He said he In
tended to get right down and meet the peo-
pie: that he got the nomination by honest
effort among the people, and he would win
the election by the same method He said
he intended to get right down and heel 1t.
There was some objection among the del
egates to the nomination of Col. Davis on
account of his age, but Chairman Cornweu
choked it off before it could be asserted
When the motion was made that the nomi-
nation be made by reclamation there were
a number of cries of No" Chairman
Cornweu was on the alert however, and
announced the nomination almost before it
could be realized. The objection to Col
Davis as also that he could not put up
vigorous fight, being no speechmaker.
Further, If sacrifice was to be made let
it by democrat after an active fight
the candidate giving the best he had in
stock.
The resolutions reported to the conven-
ton reaffirmed the principles of the party
and denounced the trusts and declared for
free trade for the necessaries of life.

any great desire for the place. In fact in
two short addresses before the convention
he said he did not want the nomination;
that 1t should go to some younger and more
vigorous man. However, he said he would
make the fight in return for the consdera-
ton his brother, Mr.. Henry G.. Davis,
and himself have received at the hands Of
the democratic party. He said the party
had been very kind to them and had given
them everything they wanted. The nomi-
