Washington, Oct. S.-Reports that
Roosevelt wants to be senator from
New York, are revived. His friends
say the president frankly admits an
ambition to succeed Platt. He is be-
coming more and more a leader of
New York republicans.
Chairman Woodruff consults him
upon the conduct of the campaign al
most daily, and other leaders submit
their plans to Washington before pro-
ceeding. His closest friends declare
he brought about the Hughes nom
ination without an appearance of do
ing SO.
President Stickney, of the Great
Western, wants Roosevelt for another
term in the White House. Stickney
is here 10 urge a uniform tariff sched-
ule, declaring it to be feasible.

Henry Carney, a transient man at

last evening. As nothing was known
concerning the manner of his death
Coroner Ralph Folsom was notified
and left for Umatilla on No. last
night. But I'm the judgment OF the
coroner. the man had died from nat
ural causes, presumably heart failure,
and no inquest was held.
Little is known concerning the dead
man, excepting that he has a sister
living in Portland and that her hus-
band is dentist there. An effort
is being made to locate these rela-
tives and in the meantime no funeral

That the Savings Bank building is
to be completely remodeled and the
entire lower floor, excepting the room
in the rear now used by the city, de-
voted to the use of the bank in the
future, was announced today by Mon
tie B. Gwinn. In speaking of the
improvements that are to be made,
Mr.. Gwinn said:
"As Is we'll known the present bank
quarters are entirely inadequate for
the business OF the institution, and II
has become necessary to make the
changes in order to properly conduct
the business OF the bank. The new
fixtures that are to be installed will
be modern In every particular. and
when the improvements are complet-
ed the Savings bank will have quar-
tiers that should suffice for 25 years
"The architect is now at work upon
the plans. and the work VIII be un-
dertaken Just as soon as the plans
can be perfected. The changes to be
made will cost sl5.O or more"
Sweeping Changes Proposed.
The changes to be made In the Saw
ings Bank building are very sweeping.
The lower floor OF the building is to
be reduced to the level of the side
walk, and the present corner entrance
will probably be closed. The stairway
leading to the second floor Will be
placed at the north side of the build
ing. and the main entrance to the
bank will be done away with. The
entire space of the lower floor. which
will be 45x72 feet, will then be de-
voted to banking purposes.
In the arrangement of the bank
room the general plan will be similar
to that OF the leading banks OF Salt
Lake. There will be a vestibule at
the entrance from Main street, ana
beyond II will be large lobby.
Around the same bank fixtures will
he arranged I'm the form of square
At the right hand side and rear the

presidents private office, and adjoin-
ing the same, one for the cashier.
Both these men Will also have desks
in the main room. The cages and win
dows for the different bank employees
will be arranged to face the lobby
and will be very convenient for the
patrons.
New vaults will also be constructed
and they will extend from the base
ment up through the first floor, All
OF the new equipment will be up-to-
date. and by having cages arranged
for each employe there will be no
question as to responsibility in cases
of error.

If nothing serious intervenes be

announced in the Hetrald several
weeks ago was signed by nearly
every person on the West Side and

Word has reached the postoffice
here that Congressman Jones took
the matter up with the postoffice de-
partment. In his report to the gem
eral office he called attention to the
difficulty of the West Siders in get
ting their MALL owing to the long
freight trains that block the avenue
crossing, the distance that many of
the people have to walk to get their
mail and the time and delay they ex-
perience in doing so.
He urged theNdepartment to take
quick action on the petition. The de
partment did SO and then. when all
arrangements had been perfected
the entire matter was referrd back
to Postmaster Lemon The local
postmaster took the matter under
advisement at once and returned 1t
a week or more ago with his hearty
approval officially given. AS a re
suit the West Siders are elated over
the prospect of an early establish

SHERIFF GRANT ACTS QUICKLY
Slackens Horses In Runaway and
Prevents Fatal Results.

Quick and heroic action on the
part of Sheriff Grant last Saturday
afternoon prevented what might
have been fatal accident for Miss
Constance Greer. a school teacher
from the Cowychee. Miss Greer
was sitting in a wagon belonging to
a rancher named Johns in front OF
Motifs grocery store when the team
took fright, ran down Ahtanum ave-
nue. and were almost in front of
Sheriff Grants home when his at
tention was directed to the fright
ened animals.
With great presence Of mind the
sheriff went to the middle of the
muddy street and seized the rein
close to the bit. In an instant the
rein was broken in two pieces and,
although somewhat slackened in
speed, the team kept on, running to
the next corner. Then swerving to
the right, Miss Greer was thrown
from the seat in the wagon fully
thirty feet. BY some freak of fate
the young lady was uninjured, but
thoroughly frightened.
Sheriff Grant says that he has
never seen a more vicious runaway
In his life than that was, and that he

TO GO AFTER CANNES.
Too Many on the Streets Has Aroused
the Attention of the Mayor.

Sitting in his office at the corner
of First street and Yakima avenue,
Mayor Reed has a splendid opportun-
.ity to see in nearly every direction.
About all he saw yesterday was a pack
of days, all breeds, sizes and colors.
One minute they were fighting, anoth-
er barking and all of the time block
ing the streets and sidewalks.
Mayor Reed then said that he
thought he would breach the subject
of dog catcher in the council be-
fore very long He also called at
tention to the fact that a dog license
ordinance was throttled in the coun-
Gil not many months ago, because
one of the members made an urgent
plea for the sheep dogs that go
astray when they come to the city.
The mayor believes that a dog
catcher will relieve the situation to
large degree, as well as make the
people more careful in attending to
the matter of license and collar.

SIGN FOR WATER
OR DON'T GET II
THIS is HENNEYS INTERPRETATION
Tells of Manner in Which the Teton
Is to Be Decided Upon, and
Gives Some Facts.

Il don't know where the afternoon
paper got it's assurance that this ca
mai is a certainty said Chief Engi-
neer Kenny yesterday evening THAT
is not assured yet, and won't be un-
til July, when a board will meet to
pass upon the specifications, and the
land signed up. I am trying to have
this board meet July in North
Yakima. I shall be one of the board,
and Chief Jacobs will meet with us.
'This body will be composed Of
men not connected with the work
here, and all of the plans, specifica-
tons, maps and everything pertain
ing to the Tieton system will be TAX
en- up and considered, and what this
board recommends will then be
passed upon by Secretary Hitchcock.
That will decide whether or not the
Tieton canal will be built, and how
soon.
|. Il don't know what the board will
recommend. 1t remains for the peo-
pie to get everything in first-class
shape, and it will be we'll if every
acre is securely signed up and every
stone removed, for the better things
are arranged, then the better the rec,
ommndation will be-
There is such a call for reclama-
ton work in all parts of the great
west that Secretary Hitchcock can
very easily, on the recommendation
of this board, set aside the work here
for six months or year, and recon-
mend that the money be used else
where. Within per cent of the land
must be signed up, and it would be
much better If all of it was signed.
People think that they can refuse to
sign, and after the canal is finished
then secure water, but those who ex-
pect to do this will be disappointed
Those who sign now will secure wa
ter, and those who do not will not
get any water
Mr.. Jacobs has said that the ditch
could be raised to higher level, and
thus secure enough signed land to
warrant its construction. This | dc
not think feasible, and it would stand
a poor show of being passed upon fav.
orably by the board. 1t would be
much more expensive to construct a
canal and water here and there a
patch, like a checker board, than the
plan that has been contemplated
after the board meets it will be
about sixty days before any con-
tracts can be let, or any ground
work commenced. / have been up to
Dumping Lake and the Teton can
yon. The work is progressing finely
there
Chief Henry and Joseph Jacobs
returned yesterday from a visit to
the Tieton canyon. They made an in
spection of the entire canal as pro-
posed by the Teton system, and
found everything in excellent condi-
ton. Mr.. Henry will be unable to
go over the Sunnyside project, as was
contemplated, and will leave this af-
teinoon. Work is progressing rap
idly on the maps and charts of the
route. and the force here is working
over time.
