BOSSES MEAT MARKET SCANDAL
Health Authorities Find Diseased
Hogs and Place Establishments
Under Quarantine.

Acting upon a number Of ugly ru-
mors which have been circulating
during the past few days, the city
health authorities have undertaken an
investigation of conditions affecting
health at the various slaughter houses
of Boise meat markets, with the re-
suit that at all but one were the con-
ditions found to be perfectly healthy,
so far as could be ascertained by the
most rigid examination, says the Boise
Statesman.
At the one exception, the abattoir
of the Walnut Street Cold Storage
company up the river, some diseased
hogs were found in the killing pens,
but the best examination that could
be made of the meats in the down
town market of the company at the
same time failed to reveal any dis
eased pork, or other meats.
The visit to the abattoir was made
by Councilman Sinsel of the health
committee of the council, City Health
officer Shellyorth, City Physician
Bowers and DR.. Mckinney, the federal
livestock inspector, who conducted the
tests which proved the disease among
the porkers in the killing pens to be
hog cholera.
There were 4S hogs in all at the
slaughter house at the time Of the
visit Of the inspectors, and Of these
it was found that 16 were diseased. All
exhibited the same symptoms, and
from all appearances had the same
disease as the animal killed at the
time of the visit, the inspector de-
claring that without question it was
afflicted with the cholera.
The entire establishment was placed
under quarantine, and further slaugh-
ter of the hogs barred, except under
the immediate supervision of quail
fled inspector.

of an applicant to a pension is decided
bv the pension commissioner or some
of his assistants. Important questions
of fact met with in the administration
of the land laws are decided by either
the local register and receiver or by
appeal to the commissioner of the gen.
eral land office, or ultimately, to the
secretary of the interior. There are
many other cases where the arbitrary
decision of a department chief affects
important property interests without
appeal The courts have generally
taken the position that they are not
authorized to open and review official
acts of the department chiefs.
OF course this system is necessary in
a great many cases to the dispatch of
business, but unquestionably public
policy requires some modification Of
this situation.

protest is in what are known as fraud
orders by the postoffice department.
The suspicion of the department is
created with regard to the propriety
of admitting to the privileges of the
postal service the mail addressed to a
certain individual or firm, an investi-

before an impartial court, but before
an officer who is acting substantially

WHAT'S THE USE?

"What's the use?" Secretary Shaw
is reported as replying when asked if
he would be a candidate before the re-
publican national convention. THE
president has made it impossible for
any other republican than himself to
be elected president"
Probably this saying in apocryphal.
Perhaps if Shaw did say it he was only
standing off a leading question. Pos
sibly he meant it.
But the president has not intended
to make it impossible for any other
republican than himself to be elected.
He has intended all along to put the
republican party in such a position
before the country that any respect
able up-to-date candidate could and
would be elected on it's ticket. To that
end he has worked to keep the party
so in touch with the masses of the
people that they would see that their
interest lay in retaining the republican
party in power. Is 1t possible that
all the republicans in the country have
fallen so far behind the president that
no one else has the confidence of the
country? Mr. Shaw may be speaking
only for himself.

LESSON WAS SOON FORGOTTEN

As stated in a news article in to-
davis issue of the Statesman many of
the saloons of the city did a big busi-
ness in selling booze last Sunday, lit
tie effort apparently being made to
conceal this fragrant violation of the
new license ordinance forbidding the
selling of liquor on Sunday under pen
atty of forfeiture of the license of the
offending saloon. Moreover, it is gen.
orally known that another provision
of that ordinance prohibiting the en-
penalty of forfeiture of the saloon Ii
cense is also being quite generally
violated.
OF course these violations of the law
could not occur without the knowl-
edge of Chief of Police Brown, who is
evidently once more trying to make
himself solid with saloon men by
winking at the disregard of the city
and state laws.
One would think that the revocation
of the licenses of five saloons last De-
cember for the violation of law would
have been a lasting lesson to saloon
men and the chief of police as to the
danger of such course, but it seems
that the lesson has already been for
gotten and that some assurance has
been given offending saloonmen that
they will be protected from the penal
ties of the laws and ordinances now be-
ing openly violated under the eyes Of
the police.

BARNEY MULuu IN L|MEl|GHT
Lightweight Fighter Shys His Castor
in the Ring and Wants
to Fight.

Barney Mullen wants a fight in Spo-
kane and has secured Biddy Bishop to
look after his interests in securing the
dates. Barney has evidently not kept
posted on Spokane doings in the prize
fight proposition and does not seem to
realize that the city has seen it's last
fight for some time to come, says the
Spokane Chronicle
Barney is anxious to meet any man
in his class in Spokane and has writ
ten the sporting editor that he will
tackle anybody of his own weight. He
expresses no choice as to color and
would like to go on with Dave Holly,
the colOred fighter who put Rufe
Turner to the bad at Pleasant Beach
recently. Holly is still in Seattle and
Barney thinks he could easily secure
the match
When the earthquake hit San Fran
cisco and it's neighboring cities, Null
len was training at Santa Rosa for a
scrap with Jack Cordell. Santa Rosa
suffered more severely from the shock
than San Francisco, and Barney was
buried under the bricks and debris of
the building in which he was installed.
With the assistance of Jimmy Quinn
and Jim Hornbuckle, two California
fighters. Mullen was extricated from
his perilous position unhurt. Soon
afterward he came north and landed
in Seattle in time to witness the bout
between Holly and Turner After
watching intently the movements of
the two. he expressed his belief that
the easterner would win, and soon
after the contest he said:

born

WHY THEY FIGHT ONLY HUNT.

1t is a matter of considerable COM
ment that the little Boxer dodger is
making no fight against any candi-
date for municipal office with the
exception of Mayor Hunt. From read
ing the dodger one might be led to
believe that Walla Walla's city ogv-
eminent is an autocracy with the may
or as the absolute dictator. In fact the
mayors powers under our city charter
are very limited, the greatest being his
power to veto ordinances passed by
the council. but that power can be
overridden by five members of the
council.
The police department is independ-
ent of the mayors office. The chief of
police is elected by the people and he
reports to the council, not to the may
or. The mayor has no power to ap-
point or remove any member of the
police department. When a vacancy
occurs in the marshal's Office by death,
resignation or otherwise, except by the
expiration of the term of office, the
council, not the mayor, chooses man
to fill the position.
All bills against the city are passed
upon by the council as an auditing
committee, just as county bills are
passed upon by the board of county
commissioners. The mayor has nothing
to do with the approval or rejection Of
claims against the city.
Hence it is plain that under our
charter the mayors office is only one
of the coordinate branches of the city
government, and the others are of
quite as much Importance as the
mayors office. and together they are
of much greater Importance.
Why is it, then, that the Boxers and
except for the mayors office? The ex-
PLANTATION is easy. 1t is because their
Senator Ankeny in his home town by
the defeat of one of his foremost
champions If they succeed in defeat
ing Mayor Hunt for reelection they
will claim great victory over Senator
Ankeny. and all the opponents of the
senator throughout the state will en-
large upon the result as meaning that
the senator has lost the support of his
own town. That is the whole secret of
the desperate fight being made by the
Boxers and their little dodger to de-
feat Mayor Hunt. While allowing the
contest on all other city offices to go
by default. If the Boxers We're in fact
DESTROYS of lettering the city govern
ment as they pretend. they would
make a hard fight all along the line.
They would by all means make a de-
termined effort to elect a majority of
the council. which has much more to
do with the financial affairs of the city
than has the mayor.
AS for the little dodger. it has been
promised a subsidy by John L. Wilson
If it succeeds in defeating Mayor Hunt
and weakening the Ankeny organiza-
ton in Walla Walla county 1t is a
fight for life with the dodger and that
is why it is assailing Mayor Hunt so
bitterly and charging him with all
sorts of offenses against good govern
ment. In order to get revenge on Sena-
tor Ankeny for personal grievances the

!. To begin with, Malta-Vita is made
from the very best white wheat.
After this wheat is cleaned and
secured, cooked thru and thru and ma
tured in fresh, pure air Ghere is no

The matted wheat is then rolled
into little flakes and baked in intense
heat, each flake becoming crisp - the

world.
You understand, or course; that the
thorough cooking and steaming of the
wheat gelatinizes it's starch, and the
malt extract, a powerful digestive
agent, quickly converts this into Malt
ose (malt sugar.. Malt sugar is great
food, and the weakest stomach digests
and assimilates it without effort. That
is why Malta-V'ita is so good for sick
folks or folks with weak stomachs.
