SHOT UP THE TOWN.
Gambler and Bartender Fight Duel
in Prosser-Hystander Shot.

The Bulletin contains the follow
ing account of the shooting ARRAY
that took place on the streets of
Prosser last Wednesday evening:
VIM. Hayes and Bob Wilson en-
gagged in shooting ARRAY at z
o'clock last evening on Bennett ave.
nue. at the corner of Sixth street.
They fired nine shots at close range,
Wilson being shot twice in the hand
and arm and Hayes escaping unhurt
Wilson stepped into the cigar store
on the corner just after the shooting,
with his gun in mis- hand, which was
accidentally discharged, the ball
striking Fred Page in the hip and
inflicting a flesh wound. He Is an
employee Of the St. Paul & Tacoma
Lumber company in this city. Dr.
French dressed the wounds of both
men. Hayes started to run after
the shooting, but was captured by
Night Policeman Winters, who ar
fray. Wilson gave himself up.
Hayes is gambler and is said to
be conducting game in Bailey's
saloon. Wilson has been an extra
bartender in the same place. Just
what caused the shooting is not
known, but it is reported that the
men had trouble over a card game
the night before and had been threat
ening each other during the day.
The business men and public are
justly indignant that two men Of this
character should endanger the lives
of innocent people by miscellaneous
shooting on the streets. They are
also censuring the officers for per-
hitting gambling to be carried on,
which appears to have been the cause
of the shooting, and this matter
should be promptly Investigated and
stopped.

Of nine men. in charge Of L. 8.
Cakes, locating engineer, with G. w.
Caughran as assistant. Mr.. Cakes
is temporarily absent at Tacoma.
Mr.. Caughran had nothing had moth
ing to say for publication. but the
Bulletin has learned from q
thoroughly reliable source. that the
engineers have not surveyed line
down the other side of the river be-
low Prosser, as claimed by the Sun
nyside SUM- They have no orders
to survey such q line. Their in
structions are to run the survey
direct from Sunnyside to connect
with the main line at Prosser and on
Tuesday the preliminary survey had
been completed as far as the western
boundary line of Benton county.
1t is not generally believed that
the line will be built into this city
this year, but 1t Is regarded as GER
tain that 1t will not parallel the main
line on the other side of the river
below Prosser and will be completed
to this point next year.--Prosser

One of the largest potato growers
of Michigan advocates washing pota-
toes for long keeping. He says he
washes his potatoes and has never
lost any by rot after being put away
in cellars. AS soon as dug they are
hauled to suitable rack where the
hose is turned on them and they are
washed thoroughly, 100 bushels be-
ing washed in ten minutes. They
are spread out and allowed to dry,
when they are packed in crates. The
cleaner the tubers when they are put
away the better they keep.-Chicago

viduals of some portion Of the pub
ilshed freight rates which they have
paid for the transportation Of their
goods. Rebates are chiefly instrn-
mental in building up the Standard
Oil monopoly and other trusts.
Differentials and milling in transit
rates are forms of discrimination
whereby railroads openly seek to
build up some particular locality,
branch, or the industries along some
branch, by the charge of lower
freight rates than other patrons of
the road are compelled to pay for
like service. AS they are usually
resorted to to make profitable some
branch which has hitherto failed to
pay dividends. they would be unas-
sailable except on the ground that
the railroads are not private property
and must be administered for the
benefit of the entire public instead
Of for that of their stockholders.
Long-haul differentials are those
special rates made to terminals
where several roads compete for
business, sometimes made SO low,
the railroad men declare, that they
result in loss to the roads, which loss
must, of course, be made good by
over-charging patrons of the road
who do not live at the terminals.
The midnight rate and the private
car system have come chiefly into
use as a method of evading the Elk
ms law since that act was placed on
the statutes. The first consists of
a road making a specially low rate
for the goods Of large patron, or
trust. BY secret understanding
with the patron, this rate will 60 into
effect at midnight on a certain night
on which the large patron can make
particularly heavy shipments. The
rate will be made public as the law
requires. but by the time the general
public is prepared to avail itself of
the specially low rate, it is revoked
and practically only the patron, or
patrons, who received secret advance
notice. have been benefited by it and
they are thus enabled to sell their
goods at distant point at a rate
materially lower than their less for
tunate and usually smaller competi-
tor. The private car system is the
latest and most efficient scheme for
evading the anti-rebate law. Rail-
road companies are compelled to pay
the owner Of private cars for the use
Of those cars. Private cars are, of
course. owned almost exclusively by
large concerns like the beef trust,
ct al. These concerns pay the rail-
roads the full published freight
rates, but they compel the railroads
to pay them for the use of their cars
various rates which amount, Of
course, to rebates, as the net result
affords to the large shipper lower
cost of transportation than their
| 6mdilcT competitors.
The railroads will gladly accept
any regulation which will effectually
prevent all the forms of discrimina-
ton which curtail their profits. but
they will oppose to the bitter end
any legislation which will more COM
pletely establish the right of the gov
eminent to regulate and supervise
their business. 1t Is the desire of the
a law which will remedy all these
evils and establish, for all time, the
rights Of the people, as exercised by
their representative the government,
lover the ironed public highways.

1904 SAW NO NEW
PEERAGES CREATED
King Edward Disapproves of So Re-
warding Services to a Po-
Iitical Faction

Not single new peerage has been
created by Edward VII during the
twelve months that have just come to
a close, and for this reason, il for no
other the year 1904 will remain one OF
note. In order to appreciate the limo
walton which it marks. 1t should be ex-
planned that nearly two-thirds Of the
peerages represented in the House of
Lords were created during the reign of
Queen Victoria, not always by her own
wish, but often at the urgent entreaty
of her Premiers, who desired in this
way to secure rewards for the services
of commoners to the political parties
of which they were the chiefs.
King Edward, 1t is said, disapproves
of this practice. and it is reported that
he is resolved that henceforth elevation
to the House of Lords shall constitute
the recognition of services to the ma
ton as a whole. rather than to a mere
political faction: that a peerage shall
be regarded, not ministerial gift, but
a sovereign appreciation or merit and
pre-eminence in one or another branch
of public life, and that far fewer peer
ages shall be brought into existence
than heretofore. Several have become
extinct in 1904, including the Dukedom
of Cambridge and the EarIdom of Ra-
vensworth. No new ones have been
created, fact which has given rise to
much comment.-New York Tribune

PRETTY GIRL SOLD OUT
POOR BOYS PAPERS
Lad Driven Away From Corner by

Snowbound Harlemites struggling

saw a strange sight at the corner Of
Eighth avenue and One Hundred and
Twenty fifth street. 1t was that OF
pretty young woman, stylishly attired.
with a bundle Of evening papers under
her arm. which she was selling At her
side was a small boy whose cheeks
showed signs of several muddy rivu-
lets of tears. His eyes were discolored
from crying.
That particular corner of Harlem is
thronged by dozen rival "newsies.
Competition is keen, and conflicts,
which are generally settled by force,
are Of frequent occurrence. The small
newsboy had incurred the wrath Of a
bigger boy, his papers had been thrown
in the snow and he had received sew
eral cuffs in the bargain.
The young woman who had seen the
affair helped him gather mis- papers up.
Never mind, Tommy" she said, when
the last paper had been secured. IN
sell your papers for you
A small crowd, unmindful of the
storm, gathered about and watched
her curiously. The stock of papers.
about two dozen, dwindled rapidly, and
every one sold brought five cents.
When the last paper had been sold
she turned TO the shiveEng boy at her
side. Hold your hands, she said He
obeyed, and she poured the handful of
nickels and dimes into them. Later 1t
was learned that she was Miss Mar

SHOULD REMAIN Far
FROM FIRING LINE
Place OF Commanding General OF To-
Day Is a Point Well in
RRag-

To-day circumstances place a conn
mander completely out of sight OF MS
army. He is usually located at least
ten or fifteen miles from the fir1ng line
and in many instances is even rartner
away. He sits in a room, where ra-
date telephone and telegraph lines 10
the remotest portion of the field, plac-
ing him in instantaneous cOmmunlcd-
ton with his principal subordinates.
The famous painting of Napoleon at
AuSterlitz represents to the popular
eye a commanding general directing
a great battle But it belongs 10 the
warfare of the past. The artist VINO
aspires to depict the direction OF
modern battle must show man
seated at a table on which is spread
"a huge map dotted with little nags IN

forces, With an ordinary desk teie-
phone a4 his elbow. In an ad1olnlhs
room is a switchboard. where SIT alert
operators ready to connect the COM
mander with any of the field head
quarters. From this room also comes
the steady clicking of a score or tele-
graph instruments, buSily receiving
and sending messages.
But for the military uniforms or
the messengers and the going and
coming of staff officers, the man at the
table might be a stock operator d.

the stenographer at his elbow is not

officers copy the messages and hle
them away, after putting them I'M

the hour they were sent, so that AFTER

Thus, apart from the excitement
and horrors of the battlefield, a gen
eral sits at his desk and calmly d.
reefs the battle. He hears that this
attack has been repulsed and that
reinforcements are needed here, that
ammunition is running low there, that
the division has been cut to pieces,
that those troops have been two days
without food, and so on, along his
forty miles of front. and takes his

SUGGESTIONS OF NAME
FOR THE NEW STATE
Wide Range to Choose From and
No Compound of Present
Names Probable.

No conclusion has been arrived at as
to the name which should be given
Arizona and New Mexico when they
are admitted into the Union as one
State. There is a general agreement.
however, that the name should not be
New Mexico. There are three States
which have the prefix New" and they
are enough Furthermore, New Mex
leo was an inapt designation for the
Territory and would be equally so for
a State.
A year or two ago ''Montezuma'' was
suggested. but 1t did not take. He
never was identified with either New
Mexico or Arizona. The lands he ruled
over lay far to the south. A more ap-
propriate designation would be "Ci-
bola," the name given by the first
Spanish explorers to the group Of Zuni
villages in western New Mexico
The proposition that the State be
baptized ''Irrigante," ''Irrigate." or
'Irriga" should be rejected scornfully.
II the name must have some connec-
ton with water, which is what the two
Territories greatly lack. then that OF
Rio Grande might be chosen with pro-
priety. There are a number of river
States-Mississippi. Missouri. Connecti-
cut, Ohio, Tennessee, etc--and one
more would not come amiss-
But why not "Arizona?" That is me-
lodious and dignified. Its selection will
pour a little balm into the wounds OF
the Arizonans. who are resisting con-
solidation on the ground that 1t will
give the New Mexicans everything and
them nothing They may at least be
given the consolation prize Of a name.
Then the New Mexicans will all be
Arizonans. 1
With so good a name as Arizona
available one must be surprised at the
perverse ingenuity of men who suggest
sIrrigate" or such barbaric COM
pounds as "Mexona" or "Mexari." -
