To Create New Counties.

Tacoma has launched proposition to
have the cities of the first class ask the
next legislature to pass law allowing
them to incorporate as counties.
Seattle. Spokane, Everett and Belling-
ham will be asked to join in the move
ment.
Such a law would mean the cutting
off of the cities from the counties of
which they are now part, and by the
extension of the city limits making new
counties of their own.
Those in favor of the plan believe
that the cities would grow and advance
much more rapidly and substantially if
the taxes their citizens pay each year
were to be devoted to the improvement
and maintenance of the city alone, OF
rather the new county, which would
practically mean the city.
Should the plan be adopted it might
mean the formation of two more coun-
ties; the city's district retaining the
name Spokane; new county being
formed from the northern districts
and the southern part of Stevens; anG
still another from the southern districts
with part of Whitman.

Election Day viii See Large Vote.

The people in Ritzville are taking an
interest in politics and the vote to be
polled this fall will be the largest in
the history of this place, provided all
the voters who registered east their
ballots on election day. According to
the count made by the city clerk there
are 40l men in this city who are EMIT
led to vote, and this is the largest in
the history of the city so far as Is
known.
During the last four days the books
were open, City Clerk Lovell's Office
was full of citizens who were anxious
to get their names on the eligible list
and it kept the clerk busy attending to
them. While the registration does not
show the strength of Ritzville it gives
an indication of what it is. This is an
off year and the registration was not
expected to be so large as it would be
providing there was president to be
chosen, but it shows that this place is
not only growing in population but the
people are taking an interest in the
county election.

EDGAR DEWITT gibson.
Republican Nominee For Sheriff
Of Adams County.

The subject of this sketch, WHO'S now
serving his first term as County Sheriff,
was born in Middleville, Barry county,
Michigan, June 26, 1858, and is now 48
years of age. He has resided in Ritz
vile, Adams county, Washington con-
tinuously for the past twenty-five years.
The promise made to the people two
years ago that he would forsake all his
other business and devote his entire
time and undivided attention to an
active, intelligent and economic admin
istration of the sheriff's office has been
most faithfully kept. -Four fold has
been the work in the criminal depart
ment. A little money has been spent,
but the citizen is asked to look at the
results. The sheriff's office of Adams
county has today standing in the
state of which the people of the county
may not be ashamed While the
statement was made in convention and
is matter of common report that the

old school-mates attended his school.
In 1888 he came to this state, ii
being territory then, and took charge
of the public school at Goldendale,
Kiickitat county, where he taught for
about ten years. Seeing an opportun-
ity in Adams county he came here in
1900, settling on a homestead in the
southwestern part of the county, where
he has been a successful farmer for
the past six years.
Mr.. Hodson has had two years ex-
perience in the Office of Assessor OF
Klckitat county and the people OF
Adams county will make no mistake in
electing him assessor of this county.
He has always been republican an6

To Withdraw Coal Lands.

Secretary Hitchcock has laid before
the president memorandum containing
data to be used by him in his forthcom-
ing proclamation withdrawing from pub
lie entry all lands supposed to contain
coal. This will be done to prevent such
lands from falling into the hands of
spectators. Meantime, an investigation
is under way by the geological survey
to determine the real character of the
lands to be withdrawn and such as are
found not to contain coal deposits will
be promptly restored to public entry.
Secretary Hitchcock said the with
drawals will cover lands in number of
western states.

Since January 10, 1905, when Sheriff
ellison took office % men have been
sent to the penitentiary, and of that
number twenty have been sent up

previous to January 10, 1905, total of
II criminals were sent to the peniten-
tiary. The present sheriff is not
furnished pass as was the case with
his predecessor, which, in itself is
quite an item where so much travelling
is done by. sheriff and having to pay
fare when former sheriff rode free 1t
will be noticed if basing the expense
on number of prisoners taken to Walla
Walla that Mr.. Gilson's administration
is the least expensive the county has
yet had. Take for example the ex-
pense of Mr.. Shorno from June 80, 1870;
to June 80, 1904, which is a fair com.
parison, $726. 70, and of ellison from
June 30, 1905, to June 80, 1906, $l466. 60
Say that the average was three mer
for that year, the cost would be $24l
per criminal, while twenty men in the
same length of time for Mr.. Gilsor
would make the average cost $73 pei
criminal. In addition to this, the number
of men confined in Jail during the pas
year and half has been much greater
than ever before. Handling crimina
work is and always will be expensive
and it is impossible to foretell what thu
volume may be. 1t might be more anc
it may be less next year. That impOr
tant branch of the county government
must be taken care of and the legiti
mate expense is not the fault of th'
sheriff. The present policy is to con
duct the Office in vigorous, energetic
and business like manner, standing il
readiness for call at any time of day o
night under which system expense i
necessarily incurred. There has simpl,
been double the criminal work done il
the last 81 months than in five year
five years prior to that time.
