Eiaht for Sunday Closing.

A protest was made to the city cOun-
ell Monday night against allowing the
saloons of the city, or any of them,
to sell liquor on Sundays, and the dis
cussion that followed was one of the
warmest that has been heard in the
city hall for some years.
The motion to appoint a committee
was carried by a unanimous vote and
then there was a great deal of interest
expressed as to the personnel of the
committee to be appointed by the may
or. The committee, since it will near
all witnesses and make a final report
to the council, virtually has the whole
matter in it's hands, as it would be very
strange if a council, which had not
heard the testimony, should reverse
the decision of a committee that had
gone into the subject deeply. The
mayor appointed Sinclair, Dudley and
Marsh.
After the tilt was over both sides
expressed themselves as dissatisfied,
the ministers and their party because
thew had wished the matter finished at
once and not delayed, on account of the
moral effect that it would be likely to
have on the coming election. The sa-
loon element was also rather dis
pleased that the committee that was
appointed was not exactly favorable TO
them.-Yakima Daily Republican.

their holdings, but the revelations
made in court will reveal criminal
tendencies that will be of most serious
effect upon the character of the men
implicated.
Discovery has been made that men
in high affairs have been at least lax
in timber land operations The de-
velopment of the stories the govern
ment's agents have found will give the
public the benefit of these disclosures.
Federal authorities hope within a
comparatively short time to be able
to begin criminal prosecutions against
fraudulent timber land operators. 1t
was thought at one time that some
cases could be presented to the pres
ent grand jury but that is now ques-
toned. But whenever the facts war
rant it, the government will ask for a
grand jury to take up the invest1ga-
ton.

CONSTABLE FALLS
AFOUl OF THIEVES IN
RAPID SEATTLE.
Is Robbed Twice in Two Days-Wenx
to Sleep in Saloon and Loses
Watch and Chain.

Robbed twice by thieves within a
period of two days, Constable j. E.
Irish of Starbuck who is attending the
federal court at Seattle is finding city
life pretty strenuous Here is the
story that is told on the Starbuck con-
stable by the Seattle Times:
]. E. Irish. constable from Starbuck,
Wash, finds life in a big city like Sc
attic exceedingly strenuous. Irish came
here to serve on the federal jury. He
has been here two nights now and ac-
cording to his own story has been
robbed twice.
Irish frankly admitted that although
he bears a reputation as a fearless
country constable, he is not familiar
with the ways of doing things in a me-
tropois. Since he only draws $3.50 a
day and mileage for his services. Irish
was not in a position to patronize the
best hotels or barrooms to kill time
while off duty in Uncle Sans court.
Irish came to town Tuesday. He
was lonesome Tuesday night and wan
dered alone below Yesler Way. He
heard the BRAIN wrecking strains Of
music from a dilapidated piano on
Washington street. Following the
sound, Irish landed in the middle of
a barroom where there was a motely
crowd of loungers waiting for some
one to buy a drink.

RattIino Nelson Wins Point.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11.-Battl-
ing Nelson, lightweight champion, this
morning won a technical point in his
suit against James Coffroth to secure
a third interest in the moving pictures
of the fight at Colma. Superior Judge
Sedwell, overruled the defendants de-
murrer when it was found that Cof-
froth's attorney was not in court to
prosecute the case. Five days are
allowed in which to file an answer.

Clothes Stolen Wednesday.

Last night Constable Irish deter
mined to be more careful He rented
room in the Phoenix Hotel and went
to bed early. He saw that the WIN
dows were down and the doors locked.
On a chair beside mis- bed he placed his
coat, vest and trousers and tumbled
in for a night of slumber.
Constable Irish was surprised when
he awoke this morning and found his
door unlocked. He looked for his
clothes and they were gone.
That's the limit" he said to him.
self, when man cannot go to sleep
with an assurance that when he
awakens he will have his clothes.'
Irish had visions Of being forced to
appear in court today in a barrel when
a bell boy came along the hallway and
was hailed by Irish. To the bell boy
the juryman told his troubles. This
imp searched a convenient rag bin and
brought forth a coat and pair OF
pants four sizes too small for Irish. 1t
was these or nothing, and Irish donned
them.
Then he wendell his way to police
headquarters and told his story to
Capt. Laubscher.
What will the folks at home think
when they hear Of this?" asked Irish
a. he walked down the steps from the
station DOrch

Had to be SociabIe.

The Starbuck constable of course
had to be sociable. He does not be-
lieve in forming acquaintance with
out sealing the newly-found friendship
with glass of foaming hop juice.
Whether these sociable drinks came
too often for the blue coated guardian
of the lives and property of Starbuck's
citizens is not known, but anyhow
Irish soon became sleepy. He saw an
inviting stool behind the barroom
stove. Into the chair Irish dropped. In
a few minutes he was fast asleep.
A few hours later Irish thought it
was morning and awakened. He Won
dered if it was time for breakfast and
and the heavy gold chain We're 9on~:
also a few cents that he had carelessly
placed into his vest pocket when he
was making a good fellow of himself.
ITO the police station I will CO.,

am a policeman myself and the Seattle
boys will get my watch if anybody

Irish duly made his report to the
captain in charge. 1t was entered and
read to the patrols yesterday. No
watch came back, however.

Three Year Limit.

The fact that they took up the lands
in 1900 and 1901 saved c. B. More
house, J. E. Page and C. E. Page, the
Iowa capitalists sued this week for re-
covery of timber lands, from criminal
prosecution. Their operations We're
not discovered by the government I'M
til between four and five years had
elapsed. The only remedy then in the
governments hands was civil suit to
recover the property.
Disclosures already made to secret
service men and others working In the
governments interests show there will
be many more suits of this character.
Thousands of acres of land have been
found which have been fraudulently
secured from the government and as
fast as the evidence is secured civil
or criminal proceedings will be started.
Washington is a state far different
from Oregon in respect to the land
frauds. While the government officials
know, and it has been common gossip
for years, that big timber land specu-
lators were encouraging persons to
take up lands and dispose of them to
those furnishing the money, the work
went on uninterruptedly so long that
the best Washington timber was taken
I'D several wears ago
In this state timber lands are close
to railroad or water transportation.
The navigable streams of the west side,
the waters of the Sound and more ex-
tensive railroad development than
other northwestern states enjoyed,
made distant timber lands accessible in

Development Is Rapid.

| Oregon's railroad development has
been slow and the state has lacked
navigabe streams on the west side.
The relative showing of the two states
in the lumber industry emphasizes
this fact While Washington, for in
stance, is claimed to supply rs per
cent of the shingles used in this coun-
try; Oregon mas but four mills which
ship east.
Washington timber land spectators
began years ago to secure lands. Fed
eral officers either did not know or
did not take any interest in their OPP
erations. Comparatively recently the
fight for public lands in Oregon start
ed.
AS result of Washington's early
developments much of the timber
frauds now uncovered are found to be
old enough to enable fraudulent claim
ants to establish the fact that the stat
ute of limitations bars all prosecution.
With the six years limitations on
civil proceedings, however, the federal
government will be able to reclaim
thousands of acres of timber lands in
this state. The same facts will be es
tablished in these suits as would be
established in criminal proceeding.
Not only will those who have secured
timber lands fraudulently within the
past six years be compelled to give up

Because of the vital concern on
the part of the people to propagate

cises be given in the public schools as

the youth of this state love fol

Questions TO Ask Yourself

Occasionally it is wiser to devote
some time to introspection, to self
examination. Self examination should
be done wisely and in the proper spir-
it, and during those periods when we
have put ourselves on the witness
stand do not forget the things of most
| importance. The next time you feel
like holding an examination,
suppose you try a few of these ques-
tions on the witness:
What am | here forr
OF what use am Z
What is successI
| Am | successl Why not2
Do | cumber the earthr
Did ever have an original, use
full thoughts
Who does my thinking for me2
Am l in rut2
What is my personal opinion of
myself2
What do my friends think of me2
If should die tonight, would any
one remember me in kindness in six
months2
Did l ever add to the sum of earth S
happiness2
Is my disposition agreeableY
Do | ever try to improve my char
acter?
Am l better or worse than last
Year,
Am | progressing Intellectually
Are my habits of life such as l can
recommend them to young peopler
Am | a hypocrite?

tions7

ceive any benefit therefrom?

Do l know enough about my body
to take proper care of it2
If my body was a machine, could |

Do l dare to answer the above ques-
| tions truthfully to myselff
