POLITICAL BOOSTERS DEMAND PAY

A large number of men employed by
the city of Walla Walla in various
departments are on the anxious seats
these days and are wondering if the
change in the city administration will
affect their jobs. If reports are true
there may be a general shaking up in
the employees of the city and many of
those now carried on the pay roll may
have to give way to others who are
eager to draw a salary each month
from the city.
New Policemen.
According to the stories that are
floating about the city, after next Wed
nesday some of the present policemen
will be hunting other jobs and their
positions will be filled with men who
took an active part in the recent city

forced to resign from the police force

ALSO FAyoRS NAVAL PERSONNEL Bill

Washington, Dec. 1.-The president
has sent special message to con-
gress on the subject of public land
laws in which he urges the repeal of
the timber and stone act; demands
the radical amendment of the desert
land act; urges the repeal Of the COM
mutation clause of the homestead act,
all of which, he declares, now serve to
turn great tracts of land over to spec.
ulators and corporations.
To prevent the fraudulent acQuisi-
ton Of the public lands the president
says he has directed the secretary of
the interior to allow no patent to be
issued to public lands under any law
until, by an examination on the
ground. actual compliance with that
law has been found to exist. For this
purpose an increase of special agents
in the general land office is urgently
required. The president believes that
there should be provision for leasing
coal, oil and gas rights under proper
restrictions.
He urges the revision and re-enact-
ment of the existing laws affecting
rights of way and privileges on public
lands and reservations in one compre-
hensive act, providing that the regula-
tiOns now in force in many cases may
be extended to all.
Consolidate Railroad Lands.
Legislation is recommended in line
with the proposal to allow railroads to
consolidate their holdings of timber
within forest reserves by exchange,
after deciding their lands to the gov
eminent.
The president recommends that the
secretary of the treasury be author
lied to advance to the forest service,
upon the security of the standing TIM
Der, an amount, say $5.G00,000, sufi-
Gent to provide a reasonable working
capital for the national forests, to bear
interest and to be repaid in annual in
stallments beginning in ten years.
Transfer of the national parks from
the charge of the secretary of the in
terror to the secretary of agriculture
is recommended.
The power to create national for
ests by proclamation should be ex-
tended to Indian lands, the Indians to
be paid the full value of land thus
taken.
The president recommends legisla-
ton which will provide for government
control of the public range through
the department of agriculture, to in
sure to each locality rules for grazing
specially adapted to its needs and to
authorize the collection of a reason
able grazing fee. He says he will see
to it that illegal fences are removed
unless congress takes steps to legalize
proper fencing by government control
of the range.

REASON FOR COAL SHORTAGE
President Elliott of the Northern Pa.
cific EXPLAINS.


Washington, Dec. Il In response to
kilograms of inquiry addressed to pres
1dents of several Western railroads by
the interstate commerce commission
as to the causes of reported shortage
of cars for the transportation of fuel,
by reason of which great suffering
had been entailed, President Howard
Elliott of the Northern Pacific Rail.
way company telegraphs the commits
sion from st. Paul as follows:
There is scarcity of fuel in some
parts of the country served by our
line, but we do not know of any short
age Of other necessaries Of life. Our
company has done and will continue
to do all that it can to prevent suffer
ing. The company realized in June
and July last that the fuel supply was
likely to be inadequate and that the
great increase in general business
would probably produce "a congestion
in the autumn. We therefore urged all
dealers at that time to look ahead and
provide stock of coal early and to
try to find new sources of supply. I
think the reason given in your mes
sage, namely, extraordinary delays in
moving, is incorrect so far as this
company is concerned. The difficulty
in Montana, Idaho and Washington is
that not enough coal is being produced
to supply promptly the increased do
nestle trade and at the same time fur
nish the railroad with fuel for the op-
GRAFTON of it's trains. Their in Novem.
Der unprecedented floods west of the
Cascade mountains damaged our
tracks so that trains could not move
over important parts of the road for
more than week and a number of
important coal mines could not be
reached. This flood damage compli-
Gated the situation. In North Dakota
and Minnesota the difficulty in part is
due to trying to move too much fuel
in a very short time and in part to an
increase in the consumption of fuel
that is greater than the increase in
facilities for handling, moving and
storing. Also to a general increase in
the movement of miscellaneous com.
modities, which cannot be ignored
without subjecting ourselves to q
charge of discrimination

FUEL FAMINE CAUSING INTENSE
SUFFERING IN MANY TOWNS
IN NORTH DAKOTA.
SCHOOLS AND FACTORIES CLOSED
HEATING AND ELECTRIC LIGHT
PLANTS COMPELLED TO GO
OUT OF BUSINESS.

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. L The
fuel situation as it exists today pre-
sents the most critical condition that
has existed in the history of the state.
Careful inquiry in every portion of
the northern half of the state shows
that there is not town in which coal
can be had except in small quantities
and to supply immediate needs and in
dozens of places there is not pound
to be bought, the dealers having been
out of fuel for days and in some cases
for week or more.
At Lakota dealers are out and in
dividuals are sharing with their neigh
bors
At Cando the flour mill has been
closed for three weeks for lack of
fuel and the light plant closed last
Thursday and individuals are running
short.
. At Granville the last coal was sold
on Dec. s.
At Towner and Rugby the schools
are closed, as in many smaller places.
At Minot the central heating plant
has closed down at intervals to save
fuel. ;, =, -,
These illustrations could be multi
piled indefinitely and the same condi-
tions prevail in the southern half of
the state and in Northern Minnesota.
One of the most serious features is
the possibility of a snow blockade.
There is now more snow on the ground
than at any time since 1896. Thus
far the state has escaped high winds
and bad drifts, but storm such as is
usual at any time in the winter would
pile up immense drifts and tie up the
roads absolutely for many days and
cripple them for the entire winter.

MESSAGE ON NAVAL PERSONNEL
President Recommends Early Action
on Pending Bill.

President Recommends Early Action
on Pending Bill.
Washington, Dec. /" president
Roosevelt has sent special message
to congress on naval personnel, in
which he earnestly recommends early
consideration of the naval personnel
bill, saying that, should it be enacted
into law, 1t will cause officers on the
seagoing list to reach the grade of
captain at forty-eight and rear ad-
mirals at fifty-five and will assure
their serving seven years in the grade
of captain and seven years in the
grade of rear admiral, thus enabling
them to become thoroughly skillful
and efficient in these grades The bill
also establishes the grade of vice ad-
miral. On occasions of official impor-
lance, of international council or of
combined naval action the interests of
this great nation demand that our ma
val representatives shall rank as the
equal of the naval representatives of
other powers. 49,. .
The president says that, if the pro.
posed plan of promotion is carried out,
1t will, as compared with existing laws,
make saving of more than $5,OOO,OOO
during the next seven years.
The principal part of this saving is
made by stopping the voluntary retire
ment of young lieutenant commanders
with the rank and pay of commanders
upon the retired list. -........
The president is firmly of the opin-
ion that unless the present condition
OF the higher commissioned personnel
is rectified by judicious legislation the
future of our navy will be gray ely COM
promised.
