RESOLUTIONS CT COINCIDENCE
Expression Of Sympathy Extended t.
Councilman Kirkman.

The following resolutions were
adopted yesterday by the city coun-
Gil:
Walla Walla, Get. IL, 1905.
Whereas; Our esteemed fellow coun
Gilman, William H. Kirkman, in the
loss of his wife, has experienced one
of the saddesr bereavements that fall
to the lot of man; therefore:
Be it resolved, by the Mayor and
Council of the City of Walla Walla;
That, we as a council do hereby ad-
journ, and request the council and all
city officials to attend the funeral OBJ
sequies in a body. This we do as a
testimonial Of esteem for our brother
councilman and his family.

and evidence, and will be on hand with
his friends to tell his side OF re
trouble that led to his discharge. Just
how many will come forward and foil
what they know of penitentiary mat
tiers largely depends on where the IN
vestigation Is held. If it takes place
at the pen Blalock's friends saw
none of the merchants will dare testi-
fly for fear of a boycott from KEGS. Rut
If it is held at some point in the civ
of Walla Walla, and the announcement
is made that the official party Is oe-
sirious of hearing everybody who
has any information to furnish, Bla-
locks friends say there will be evil
dence brought out that will surprise
the governor and members of the
board.
There is growing belief that
KEGS is not long for his present posi-
ton, and the question of a successor
is already discussed. 1t is asserted
that to appoint another Walla walla
man will only mean more trouble. as
the Ankeny camp, now split on the
Kees-Blalock row, cannot unite on a
new candidate.
King Man the Solution.
There are those in King county who
contend the governor has not allot-
ted that locality all the patronage
she is entitled to. Ankeny and Piles,
in their swing around the state, are
getting close together politically. The
suggestion is made that all the cir
cumstances call for the selection of
some King county man, whom Sena-
tor Piles urges and whom Ankeny
would indorse.
There was a time when it appear
ed that john Canutt was in line for
the wardenship, but he has been plac-
ed as oil Inspector and is out OF the
running No particular name has been
suggested from King county, but it
wont take long for a host of candi-
da tes to spring up, should the gov
ernor indicate that he is looking that
way for a good man for a fat job.

Lou Took, the Chinese section hand
struck and killed by the w. & c. r.
train in the railroad yards

arriving at Hunts Coroner Smith
found that it was unnecessary to hold
an inquest, as it was clearly evident
that the Chinaman had met death
through his own carelessness. The

s.,ot;on of the report that DR.. Y. G..
plo,ock is surely out for the scalp Of
Warden KEGS. and indications that
,ss- scalping will have at least the
Vt approval of some members of
Ii board of control.
For a man holding the best bit of
state patronage Frank KEGS, IN the
opinion of many, has been anything
ht careful. His various interviews,
given out after Governor Mead had
ordered the discharge of the peniten-
tiary guards, in connection with the
registration frauds, were hardly
diplomatic. There is, for example, a
recent interview in which he was
quoted as stating that the machinery
at the jute mill had never been in
spected. b..
1t happens that Labor Commits
sioner Hubbard was at the peniten-
tiary and made the inspection while
Kees was absent at Portland attend
ing the Good Roads convention; but
t1at does not alter the fact that the
! state board of control was consid-
eraby displeased when KEGS was
Interviewed in his ignorance, and
they were forced to deny a failure to
inspect.
In fact the state board of control,
under whom KEGS performs his du-
ueS IS thought to be decidedly dis
ashed with much of KEGS action.
Or rather inaction.
Inc board directed the warden to
report daily during the typhoid fever
