DETAILED FOR RECRUITING SERVICE
Former WalIa WaIIa Officer Is Now
in Seattle.

Major F. A. Boutelle, well known to
the pioneers of Walla Walla, has been
detailed by the war department for
recruiting service at Seattle.
Major Boutelle served for manv
years as an officer in the First cav
airy, which saw much service through
out the states and territories of the
early west. The major was stationed
at Fort Walla Walla, one of the old
est posts in the Northwest, on three
different occasions, the first time in
1874. He was retired in 1895. During
the latter part of Governor John H.
McGraw's administration Major Bou-
telle was adjutant general of the state
OF Washington. Since that time until
his present detail he has lived on his
farm in Clarke county, near Vancou-
yer.

SANITARY CONDITIONS ARE
BAD IN THIS CITY.
When Arrests Are Made Prosecutions
sons Says Ex-Councilman.

IF few property owners who have
failed to connect up their residences
with the city sewers were prosecuted
and several of the big stores of the
city required to take care of their
refuse instead of depending upon the
city scavenger carts all the time, there
would be little occasion for all this
talk about the bad sanitary conditions
in Walla Walla,' said ex-Councilman
j. z. Smith, a former member of the
committee on health and police, this
morning.
There are about so residences in
the city that are not connected with
the sewer. A spasmdoic effort was
made about two months ago to compel
these property owners to make con-
nections. Several arrests were made
but the city attorney failed to be on
hand to prosecute the cases and they
were dropped. Since then nothing
has been done so far as l know.
1T is true that the city should en-
ploy at least two more scavenger
CARTS but much of the trouble arises
from the fact that it takes much of
the time of one cart to remove the
refuse of three or four of the big
stores. These stores should be re-
quired to take care of the bulk of their
trash instead of depending wholly
upon the scavenger carts. Another
kick comes from property owners
unity to livery stables. These property
owners in my judgment have a legiti-
mate complaint as several propretors
of barns persist in dumping their
refuse in the alleys back of their places
of business instead of carting it away
every day as required by ordinance l
nave known instances where piles of
manure were left standing in alleys
several days before being removed
The proprietors were notified to take
care of the refuse and for a time
obeyed the order, but they drifted
back into the old way and there you
are. A few cases vigorously prose-
cuted would do wonders in keeping
Walla Walla clean.

WHICH IS HIS NATIVE STATE
Baby Born on Train Can Never Tell
Where He Was Born.

PENDLETON, Aug. "a dimpled.
blinking boy baby, three days old, was
a passenger on the tourist car on
westbound o. r. & N. train today.
and of this youngster there is much
to say.
While the Colorado Midland Over
land train was speeding westward at
the rate of SO miles an hour last Fri
day night, the mother of this urchin
Mrs. r. Bertnall of st. Louis, gave
birth to him, as the train was crossing
the state line between Colorado and
Utah, and for the life of him he can
never tell exactly which is his native
state, SO complicated was the situa-
ton on the tourist car where he was
born, for the time being.
Mother and child are we'll and are
none the worse for their extraordinary
experience. Mrs. Bertnall fully ex-
pected to reach the nome of her sis
ter in Portland before the birth of her
boy, but left ST. Louis three days too
late to accomplish her wish.

"GRAND OLD MAN."
Former Governor Whyte Celebrates
Eiohty-Eifth Birthday.

Eghty-Fifth Birthday.
BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 9.-Former
Governor William Pinkney Whyte,
Maryland's Grand Old Man," was the
recipient of many congratulations to-
day on the occasion of his eighty-first
birthday. Governor Whyte has filled
nearly every office in the power of his
city and state to bestow. In 1916 he
was admitted to the bar and the
following year was elected to the leg
islature. He was elected controller
Of the state in 1853 and a delegate to
the Democratic national convention in
New York in 1868. From 1868 to 1863
he was United States senator and
was governor of Maryland from 1871
to 1874, serving in the United States
senate again from 1875 to 1881. He
has also been attorney general of the
state, mayor of Baltimore and head of
the law department of the city.
1t is an interesting fact that one of
Governor Whyte's most intimate
friends and business associates is
Henry G. Davis of West Virginia, who
likewise is a stauncf Democrat and a
former United States senator, and al
most of the exact age of Governor
Whyte.

ers of the fortunate numbers are
awarded cash prizes which range in
value from $3.50 to $1,000. Tickets in
the drawing are given free to passen-
gers, the only stipulation being that
they shall preserve them until the
end of the month. Notices to this eff
feet have been posted in the cars, and
in addition the company is distribut-
ing a pamphlet printed in Spanish,
French and English, describing the
operation of the scheme.
Mr.. Hubbard says that it is quite
certain all passengers will insist up
on getting from the conductors tick
ct representing the amount of the
fare paid. Many patrons of the tram
way are providing themselves with
small cardcases in which to preserve
their tickets, and it is expected that
the business of the company will show
a considerable increase as a result of
the general desire to secure all the
chances possible.
The greater part Of the patronage
of the cars comes from people of the
poorer classes and those of moder-
ate means. 1t is therefore quite prob
able that the large number of prizes
which are 200 in number, will be dis
tributed each month among people to
benefaction.

DANGEROUS DRAGONS.
What Governor Cummins of Iowa
Called the Railroads.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 9.-"Dan-
gerous dragons importing the liberty
of the people," is the expressions
which Governor A. B. Cummins used
in describing the railroads in his
Pennington, Iowa. Chautauuua ad-
dress.
Governor Cummins has stoutly de-
MED the accusation that he has been
riding over the state on a pass over
the Rock Island and the Northwest
ern lines, and he also denied that ne
had accepted a pass over the Penn
sylvania lines when he visited Wash
ington the last time.
The corporation are trying to in

say that I am for government owner

harstel tie resources of the commoa

panies are trying to control the coun
try now said the governor, "and they
will run the country if they can. :
am willing 10 trust them in many
things, but in some things the peo-
pie must have say-so."
Governor Cummins' utterance.
came closely upon TIE announcement
mat the railroad assessment OF the
state has been raised over two and
one-half million dollars.

RUNS A LOTTERY,
Scheme Tried in Mexico to Keep Con
ductors Honest

HANCOCK, Mich, Aug. 9.-George
w. Hubbard, Who recently resigned as
general passenger agent of the Du-
luth, South Shore and Atlantic rail-
road to take a similar position with
the national lines of Mexico, writes of
a novel method adopted by one of the
streetcar companies in the City of
Mexico to protect itself from loss
through the dishonesty of its employ
es. Mr.. Hubbard says it is estimated
the company has been losing $1,000 a
day by reason of the failure of the
conductors to turn in all the money
collected. The plan now to be ex-
perimented with to stop the practice
is a lottery ticket scheme.
The feature which is of greatest in
tarest to the public is that duplicate
numbers of the tickets or checks
issued by the conductors to passengers
are to be placed in a lottery to be
drawn under government supervision
at the end of each month. The hold

CHAIRMAN KINCAlD SAYS THE
GUARDS AT PRISON WILL BE
GIVEN FAIR PLAY.
Sent to WaIla WalIa to Make Thor
oush and Impartial Investisa-
ton for Governor,

While Chairman M. F. Kincaid, of
the state board of audit and control
has not said so, the general impress
sion among the dominant faction of
the republican party around Walla
Walla is today that the eight guards
at the penitentiary ordered dismissed
by Governor Mead will not lose their
positions. Chairman Kincaid, who ar
rived on a delayed train yesterday af-
ternoon, stated last evening that his
presence in Walla Walla was for the
purpose of making a thorough and
impartial investigation of the charges
against the guards and submit his
findings to Governor Mead for further
consideration of the cases.
Respite for Several Weeks.
Chairman Kincaid announced last
night that no action toward discharg-
ing the guards would be taken for sew
eral weeks yet. 1T would not be good
! business policy to discharge such a
| large part of the force at the prison as
it would surely interrupt the efficiency
| of the force,'' Chairman Kincaid said.
Governor Mead has requested me to
make a thorough and impartial in
| vestigation of the charges filed against
| the guards. By this I want it under
stood that the matter is not to be
| whitewasned. The governor is per-
| fectly honest in this matter and if
that the actual facts do not conform
with the findings already reported then
the governor 1 am sure would be only
| too glad to make restitution for any
| wrong impressions that have gone out
| regarding the conduct of the guards.
| Il will be in Walla Walla probably
| two or three days. 1 wish to investi-
gate every phaze of the situation and
present my findings to the governor
as he has directed. AS 1 said before
| this investigation will be impartial"
Others May Be Involved.
The republicans VINO were largely
| instrumental in bringing the charges
| against the employees maintain the
| opinion that the men will have to go
as they assert that Governor Mead
i cannot now back down and reconsider
! his instructions to Warden KEGS.
While they admit that the delay might
| result in the whole affair being
| "whitewashed,' they are anxious that
| the complete investigation be made
| by Chairman Kincaid as it has been
limited that it might result in others
being involved in the registration pro-
ceedings.
