Water Wagon Drivers.

CHICAGO. Jan. 1.-The water wagon
drivers have struck.
Next week If the signs count for
anything, not a water wagon wheel
may turn, and any person who at
tempts to climb onto one will be con-
sidered strike-breaker. Then again
the trouble may be settled.
The drivers are said to have chosen
this time to strike with the idea that
a great hardship will be worked next
Monday, when thousands intend to seek
a ride.
The drivers employed by a dis
titled water company think that SIS
a week is not enough for their ardu-
GUS duties. They want $18 week
and a commission on their sales be-
sides. Officials of the company say
there is not enough money in the

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Jan. 1.-THE pos
tive statement is made that after
numerous conferences with his party
leaders Governor Cummins has decid-
ed. Notwithstanding the two-term pre-
cedent to ask for denomination at
the next republican convention. 1t is
said this will be done while the oppo-
sition to the governor is in q meas
ure disorganized by the recent division
over the candidacy of G. D. Perkins OF
Sioux City.
1t is believed that no other person in
the ranks can be found who can take
the reins from Governor Cummins
Party leaders say it is imperative for
him to retain such organization as he
has and not be backed by such forces
as railroads, and that the only way
he can do this is to stay in the COVER
nor's chair. Circumstances might
arise that would enable him to step
aside for another whose views are SIM

any regulations are needed regarding

time; also, whether residents should
be allowed to carry firearms into the
woods in open seasons without first
having procured a permit or license
to hunt birds or other game and
what, if any changes are necessary to
better protect fish or game during the
close season The attendance is un-

TALK Is PROVING VERY
BENEFICIAL
Strangers Attracted to Place and Real
Estate 81 Beginning to Look Up
Little

Judge J. v. Lewis. justice of the
peace Of Wallula and one of Walla
Walla county's picturesque characters
was in the city Saturday On business.
IF there is any truth in all this news
paper talk about Wallula being the
objective point for half dozen or so
transcontinental railroads, guess our
old town is destined to occupy a pretty
prominent position on the commercial
map before long," Judge Lewis re-
marked to a Statesman representative.
But" chuckled the venerable justice
of the peace, eff a few more towns
spring up along the river between
Wallula and Kennewick I am afraid
there won't be much room left for all
these railroad and irrigation schemes.
We now have Kennewick, Hover, Aims
worth, South Ainsworth, North Wal
lula, South Wallula, Central Wallula,
the old town Of Wallula and then
Wallula proper AS a matter Of fact,
on paper, it is town all the way from
Kennewick to Wallula.
But seriously speaking, Wallula is
benefiting a great deal from all this
railroad talk and the two big irriga-
ton projects that are being put under
way to reclaim several thousand acres
of land in the vicinity of the town.
The Columbia Irrigation company mas
water in it's big ditch already for the
land and the Snake River Irrigation
company has started up it's pumping
plant with every prospect Of it prov
ing a success understand that water
has been turned into the main canal
and the pumping plant is working
fine. A great many strangers are
dropping into town and there is con-
siderable activity in real estate"

Widow Settles Claims.

DIES MONIES, Jan. 2-After a
years litigation to determine who was
the legal widow Of the late E. L. Du-
bois. a wealthy contractor of Des
Moines, three women have settled the
turmoil, the final act being the sale
by two of the women for $40 to the
widow recognized by the court Of the
grave where the much-married mans
body reposes.
While at Denver eight years ago he
married a prominent woman. At St
Paul ne married another woman, and
had homes for her there and in Des
Moines. Later he spent a summer In
New Orleans and married a prominent
woman there.
He died here suddenly with wife
No. 2 of st. Paul at his bedside She
arranged for the funeral. However,
some one who knew of Dubois other
wives wired them Of his death.
The Denver and New Orleans women
came to Des Moines on the day Of the
funeral. The Denver woman was de-
clared the righful widow by the courts,
and secured the property-all except
the lot in Woodland cemetery, which
she has just bought.

UNITED STATES SUPERIOR TRI.
BUNAL HAS MANY KNOTTY
QUESTIONS.
One Involves Several Questions Oh
Philippine Tariffs-Paper Trust
Has Contempt Case.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. "A
number of highly important cases
have been set for hearing today.
One of the most important cases
which will come up today is the re-
hearing in the case of Lincoln and of
Walker, Barnes & Co., against the
United States, involving questions of
Philippine tariffs. Oral arguments
will be heard today upon the one
question only: Has Congress the
power to rectify what the president
did in the matter of collecting Philip
pine revenues under his war power
after the treaty of Paris had been rat
flied and before there was any legis-
lation on the subject" The case was
originally decided by the supreme
court against the United States. If the
decision is confirmed on renearing, it
will mean the refunding by the gov
eminent Of several million dollars paid
by the plaintiffs.
The Wisconsin Paper Trust con-
tempt cases have been advanced for
today by the supreme court and with
them the appeal in the st. Paul cases
in which fines for contempt were i'm
posed by Judge Vandeventer. An
other case, which is to be called today
is the case of the United States against
Senator Clark of Montana, involving
the alleged illegal acquisition of tim
Der lands.
The hearing in the case Of the state
of Missouri versus the state of 1lli-
nois and involving the status Of the
Chicago drainage canal, is also among
the important cases set for hearing
today.
