Lie For q Woman.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15-"There is
probably only one case where an
evasion of the truth is justifiable.
That is where man has compro-
missed a woman and her honor is az
stake. Then l think it becomes his
duty to evade telling the truth as
long as possible. l do not say it
would be justifiable to lie, but to
evade the truth. Under sucn cir
cumstances 1 think a man should
take a long journey and keep away
as long as he could. These views
come from my experience On the
bench"

.LoEHR AND THE BOARD IN COURT
First Round in Legal Fight Was Begun
Before Judge Brents This
Morning.

The first round in the legal fight that
County Surveyor L. w. Loehr is wag
ing against Walla Walla county in an
effort to collect some $103 alleged to be
due for services performed, and which
the commissioners refuse to allow, was
fought out in the superior court this
forenoon, when J. H. Pedigo and Oscar
Cain, attorneys for Surveyor Loehr,
argued a motion to strike from the an
swer filed by the commissioners to the
plaintiffs complaint one paragraph
which sets up that the commissioners
had entered an order suspending all
surveys On county roads Garrecht &
Dunphy, retained by the commissioners
to defend the suit, opposed the motion,
and following the arguments Judge
Brents took the matter under advise
ment. The question involves the point
of whether or not the commissioners
have the legal right to order all sur
veys suspended.

more than satisfactory said ]. H.
Morrow, chairman of the board OF

there is a town the size of Waitsburg
in the state that has improved so in
the past year, and what is more graft
flying. there is every indication of this
growth and prosperity continuing.
In addition to several new business
blocks and many new residences be-
ing erected within the past year, Mr..
Morrow says that Waitsburg is serl-
ously considering the paving of at
least two of the principal streets.
"Waitsburg in many respects is stu

ated similarly to Walla Walla." Mr..
MORROW said. I'VE have excellent
school facilities and many farmers who
nave made their fortune are moving to
town In order to give their children the
advantages of our fine schools. This
mas resulted in quite an addition to
the towns population, and besides
many outsiders are being attracted
there by the excellent opportunities
that are open in many lines of BUSH
ness
Mr.. Morrow says the outlook for
another bumper crop this year in the
Waltsburg district is excellent and
farmers are highly pleased at the pros
poets. The winter has been an ideal
one for fall wheat.

NOTED WOMAN IN WALLA WAlLA
Mrs. Sue Harper Minis, Who Will
Lecture Friday on Chris
tan Science.

At the old Cumberland Presbyter-
ian church tomorrow night Mrs. Sue
Harper Minis will deliver a free lee
ture on Christian Science. She is
one of the most noted women in the
United States and her lectures are
said to be highly entertaining. In
speaking of the woman the Portland
Oregonian says:
IAN audience that packed the Be-
lasco theater to its capacity assembled
last evening to hear the Christian
Science lecture given by Mrs. Sue
the Christian Science Board of Lee
tureship of the First Church of Christ,
Scientist, of Boston,, There were $50
people on the stage from which Mrs.
Minis spoke, and every seat, in the pit
and balcony was filled. Mrs. Minis
held the close attention of her audi
ence during her lecture. She spoke
in a conversational tone, behind which
there was the indescribable charm
and conviction of reserve and quiet
intensity. She showed keen familiar
ity with her subject, from first to last
and carried her hearers with her into
the realm of higher aim and nobler
accomplishment, revealing her creed
in all its power and aesthetic beauty,
as an ethical and moral force"

NEW YORK, Feb. 15-It was said
in Wall street today that an an
nouncement Of some big railroad deal
may be made within the next few
hours. Jacob H. Schiff had a long
conference with J. P. Morgan yester-
day and then called On Edward H.
Hartman. James J. Hill was not
down town on account of the weather.
There was a report current that
the delay in declaring the Union
Pacific dividend was due to a desire

interests are said to have buried the
Ratchet and harmony will hereafter
prevail in the northwestern railway
situation.
1t was further said that Hill agreed
to take over the Hartman holdings

Robert A. Pe|key Died in Spokane

FORMERLY RESIDED IN WALLA WAlLA

That Is What is Claimed Bq q
Stone Company.
ASPHALT CONCERNS IN COLLISION
SEATTLE PEOPLE WANT COMPE-
TITIvE BIDS FOR PAVING TO
BE PROVIDED FOR.

Possibility of a collision existing
between asphalt companies, whereby
under the present mode of letting city
paving contracts, competition among
bidders would be entirely eliminated,
is charged by the Seattle Stone
Company, Inc, in a letter sen, TO tne
board of public works, says the Seat
tie Post-Intelligencer. That the meth
of of bidding on such contracts often
shuts out from competition all but
the asphalt companies is asserted and
it is further suggested that in let
ting contracts. separate bids be asked
on different kinds of paving used in
the same district
The stone company also asserts that
when one bidder gets the contract for
several kinds of paving in the same
district he can bid disproportionately
This would throw an unfair burden on
certain property owners. yet the con-
tractor could so make his estimates
as to reach an aggregate average for
the whole district, it is claimed.
Under the present method, says the
letter, which is signed by H. B. Ken
nedy. president, and James B. Meikle,
secretary of the company, paving con-
tracts which call for asphalt, stone,
brick and other materials cannot be
awarded to any but the asphalt COM
panies. The letter strongly urges the
necessity of allowing separate and
distinct bids on each kind of paving
material. The existing order of things,
according to the stone company, gives
the asphalt people a monopoly of the
work, denying unrestrained COMPETE
ton.

STARS FOR VOYAGERS.
Nine Used by Navigators to Place =
Ships Location.

There are nine eminent nautical
stars considered by navigators. They
are important as determining the pO
sition of the ship at the time the OBJ
servation is taken, calculated by their
distance from the moon. The stars are
Alpha, Arietis, the principal star Of
Aries, but of the second grade; Aide
baran, first magnitude, in the rich as
terision of Taurue, easily distinguished
tude, in Gemini, readily known by its
companionship with the brighter Cas-
tor; Regulus, a first class star in the
breast of Leo hence often called Cor
Leonis, the Lions Heart; Spica Vir.
ginis, first class star in Virgo, re-
markably conspicuous from being in
sulated in a dark surrounding field;
Alpha Aquilae, generally known as
Affair, first magnitude; Alpha Pegasi,
second class, usually termed Narkab;
Antares, first magnitude, in Scorpio,
distinguished by its fiery red color;
Fomalhaut, first class, in Piscis Aus
trails. These stars are conveniently
situated with reference to the moons
path and are used for taking tables Of
lunar distances by makers Of nautical
almanacs in order to enable vessel
masters to deduct their longitude. The
distances of the center of the moon
from some of the nine conspicuous
stars near the ecliptic are computed
with the utmost care for every three
hours during the year at Greenwich.
When on the broad ocean the navigator
finds his position by marking when
such a lunar distance, set down ac-
curately in the almanac for the day
and hour, occurs, as seen from his own
vessel, and deduces thereby his where
abouts on the watery waste.-Milwau-

by Fred DeF'orrest collided with an
automobile belonging to the Cash
Cycle company at the corner of

seriously injured. The auto caught
the rear of the hack, smashing the
two rear wheels. DeForrest was
