CLAIMS HE WAS "JoBBEDv IN THE
FEDERAL COURT CLERK.
SHIP CONTEST.
Admits That He Has Been Cut Loose
From Balloon and Can't Get
Down.

DR.. w. H. Hare, who was an aspir-
ant for the clerksnip of the new fed
eral court district in this state. is
feeling little sore over the prospects
of losing the plum, which ne claims
was promised him by the distributors
of the political pie in the state of
Washington.
1T was smooth game you fellows
worked on me, and it goes I'm not
out of 1t. I've run my race, but re-
member this Whitson is not judge yet,
and Teddy back in Washington does
some things, sometimes, that people do
not expect
This is what DR.. Hare, the represen-
tative from Yakima, said to George
Baker, the senator from Klickitat,
| when they dined together is the story
printed in the Post mtelligencer. He
was discussing the fact that Lobbyist
George Stevenson had decided to "ac-
cept' the clerkship of the newly es-
tablished federal court for the eastern
district of Washington
| When Stevenson accepted" Hare
was thrown down. Hare had been
promised the job and promised it sc
earnestly and long that he had begun
| to lay plans to move his household
stocks to Spokane. Whitson, who, il
is generally believed, is to be judge
is his close friend, and Whitson had
promised him the place, contingent
upon his own appointment. Stevenson
| had given mis- gladstone agreement
and with Baker, had spent many a
happy hour ''jollying' the Yakima den-
| fist into dreams of life more roseate
than pulling molars.
Hare's friendship for Whitson is con
ceded, and he is also given credit fol
having run modest cold storage plant
during the senatorial contest, with
Wesley Jones' name tackled over the
door of it.
| Hare admits one phase of the stu
alton; he admits that ne had been cut
loose in balloon and can't get down
and that Stevenson is to be the clerk
according to the present program. But
! he will say no more for publication
not until he gets back home to Yakima

IT'S ON LIE C S.
ASKS FOR FAIR AND OPEN COM
PETITION.

Editor Statesman:
Bids will soon be opened for the
laying of either asphalt or bituminous
macadam on several streets in Walla
Walla. 1t is the duty of the council
to see that the specifications are right
in every particular, protecting fully the
interests of the city and the property
owners and guaranteeing thorough
workmanship.
Many complaints nave been heard in
| the last few months because of the al
than one bid for the laying of asphalt
in the business district on Main and
Alder streets. No one disputes that
the job done by the Barber Asphalt
Company for this city is one of the
best that can be found anywhere in
the country, yet there are some prop
erty owners who believe that the work
might have been done more cheaply if
the competition in bids had been more
extensive. In fact the city council
advertised for bids according to law
and it was not it's fault that other
bidders did not avail themselves of
| the opportunity to compete for the
work. However, that there may be no
| room for complaint regarding the con-
tracts that are soon to be let on Main
| and Alder streets, the council should
| throw open for competition proposals
for both kinds of pavement-asphalt
and bituminous macadam. 1t is gen.
orally understood that the Warren
company is ready to bid on asphalt
paving and the Barber Company on
bitulithic paving. 1t is for the interest
of the property owners concerned that
both companies should be given fair
play and an open field in the bidding.
| To this end the specifications sub
mitted by the Warren Company should
be amended to allow the laying of the
same kind of pavement by the Bar
equally as good under a ten-year guar
antee for it's repair and maintenance.
In the specifications on file in the
city clerks office the Warren Company
does not make any guarantee that it's
pavement will be waterproof and there
| is nothing definite about the cement to
be used in the concrete base. More
over it is not stated what weight of
roller is to be used or what the thick
ness of the base is to be after it is
compressed. 1t specifies only the
thickness before compression.
/ The specifications speak of. using
"Warren's Quick-Drying Bituminous
Flush Coat Composition to completely
fill any unevenness or noneycomb
which may appear in the surface of the
mixture. In good pavement no honey
comb should appear, and the council
should not agree to accept that kind
of pavement provided it is smeared
| over with some sort of coal tar prep
| aratiOn.
| 1t is the duty of the council fully to
| protect the interests of the property
| owners in every respect and it is
| therefore necessary that the specifca
| lions should be scrutinized VITA the
greatest care before being finally
adopted. TAXPAYER.

PEOPLE ON THE MOVE

George Minnick, one of the big farm

in Walla Walla a few hours today on
business Farmers are busy with
their spring work out in our section
Mr.. Minnick said. "a good many have
been compelled to reseed part of their
lands but the entire acreage will not
be large. Our fall wheat is not looking
as good as it might. We sowed our
wheat along in October and November
during the dry spell and the result is
that some of the seed became affected
with dry rot and failed to come up
Mr.. Minnick stated that the Minnlck
firm sold the last of their wheat hold
ings consisting of 10000 bushels last
week. This is the first time i'll 10

longing to Tallman. The circumstance
has brought to light the court proceed
ings before Judge Carpenter a year and
a half ago, when Mrs. Tallman was given
a separate maintenance of SIS month,
and Mrs. Tallnan asserts this was en-
tirely on account of Mrs. Jackson, VINO
had ensnared her husbands affections.
Mrs. Tallman appealed to the courts,
and after securing financial support, LETT

Since coming to Denver to settle up her
husbands estate Mrs. Tallman has made
demand upon Mrs. Jackson for the ef-
fects of her husband, including pictures
and some clothing, but Mrs. Jackson. she
claims, has refused to surrender them.
Mrs. Tallman says Mrs. Jackson has no
right to them and she will take the mat
ter into the courts and endeavor to obtain
the goods as the widow of Tallman.
Tallman was an engineer on the Colo
RADIO and Southern railroad and his sin-
surance of $500 will be paid to the widow,
as well as the wages which were due him.

GGLl4E.
New York, Feb. 21.-Pitcher Jack
Taylor said. before leaving town that
he did not care how much the board
OF directors of the National league had
fined him. because he would not have
to pay the money out Of his own
pocket Taylor said the fine could
have been $500 instead of $500, and
that Magnate Robson, his employer,
would have paid it for him just the
same.
Robson, it will be recalled, signed
Taylor to a contract a week before his
case came before the directors. Tay-
Tor had to accept a $500 reduction in
salary, which made his pay for the
coming season amount to $4,000
With a. fine of $500 and several hun
dred dollars expended for railroad
tickets, Taylor would have received
much the worst of it If his employer
had not decided to partially reimburse
him.
Incidentally, Taylor told the direc-
tors some stories about his dealings
