Water Registrar Mclean and his

last night, that the registrar is short

there is any shortage in the material
account and he doubts it, that 1T is
not up to him to explain the discrep-
ancy. Mr.. Mclean said:
"It is not true that 1 am short in
anything. 1 have made a strict ac-
counting of everything that has
passed through my hands and 1 am
pleased to say that Notwithstanding
the report of a shortage in the mat\-

report gave me clean bill of health.

RAISE THE SHEEP
QUARANTINE.

Col. Hickox, agent in charge of the
quarantine work in the state of Wash
ington, Idaho California, and Montana
south of Butte City, was in Nalla
Walla today attending a meeting of
the Walla Walla Wool Growers asso-
citation held at the court house this
afternoon. The association made ap-
plication to Col. Hickox to have the
quarantine raised in the counties
south of Snake river, including Walla
Walla, Columbia, Asotin and Garfield
counties.
The application was based on
grounds that no scab exists in the
four counties. Col. Hickox assured
the association that the request will
be granted if the statements are found
to be true. He will Immediately send
six inspectors to this district to in
spect sheep as they are being driven
to the Wenaha reserve in June. The
raising of the existing quarantine will
effect a big saving to sheepmen OF
the four counties, besides proving an
incentive to other sheep countries to
eradicate the scab evil and clean UP
the range. Approximately 10000
sheep will be effected If the quaran-
tine is raised.

The cave contains a large lake. 1t
has been impossible to determine the
size of the cavern.
Men blasting rock yesterday made
the discovery. when the discharge
caused the earth to crumble and fail in,
leaving a great hole. Workmen ven-
tured into the cavern, exploring it for
a considerable distance. They discov-
cred the lake and, returning to the sur
face. procured small boat in which
they rowed about for several hundred
yards. They were afraid to venture
further into the bowels Of the earth
without procuring lights and taking
proper precautions and safeguards to
avoid becoming lost.
The cavern runs from the point Of
discovery directly under the city of
Charleston.
A systematic exploration Of the cav
ern will be begun this afternoon. In
the meantime, experts will be called
upon to solve the problem as to wheth-
er there is any danger to the city.

ONLY ONE BID SUBMITTED
Surprise Sprung at Council Meet
ing Last Might.
Bis PRICE ASKED BY TACOMA Man
FOR DOING THE ExcAvATlNG
FOR NEW WATER SYSTEM
PIPE LINE.
BIG PRICE ASKED BY TACOMA MAN

To the surprise of every member of
the council, M. ]. Murphy of Tacoma
was the only contractor to have in a
bid for excavating the new pipe line
ditch, when bids were opened at the
council meeting last night. Mr.. MUIR
phys bid was $4,000, but he stated
that the specifications were so indef-
mite that it was almost impossible to
submit an intelligent bid on the oro-
posed work Mr.. Murphy accompanied
his bid with a certified check for the
sum of $3SOO.
Up In the Air Now.
AS a. result of only one bid being
submitted for the work, the whole
council is up in the air and one MEM

bids can be advertised for. Engineer
Thomson is blamed somewhat for
not making his specifications more
plain SO that contractors would know
what they are bidding on. Two
Walla Walla contractors wanted to
figure on the work but were afraid
they would get stuck under the terms
of the specifications and refused to
bid. One councilman made bold to
saw that he believed that Engineer
Thomson purposely made up the spe-
cifications in an indefinite form in or
der to prevent contractors from bid
ding and having the work done by
day's labor as he has urged from the
start. Other members of the council
scout this idea but deem it strange
that there was only one bid for the
work. The whole matter was referred
to the water committee. New bids
will probably be asked for. Engineer
Thomson in a former statement tc
the council estimated that the work
could be done for less than $4,000.

THE MINORITY LEADER
WILL SPEAK FOR THREE DAYS I'M
MARYLAND.

Mr. John Sharp Williams. the leader OF
the minority Of the House of Representa-
tives, came into this city today and left
on the noon train for Baltimore For three
days he will be at the service of the Mary
land democracy. and will fill engagements
arranged for him by Chairman Murray
Vandiver
While it has been stoutly denied that Mr.
Williams has said that he would not speak
in New York on account of his dislike for
Mr.. William Randolph Hearst, his plans
have not been made to speak in that state
He will go into Pennsylvania and then
work his way westward.
Mr.. Williams is taking hopeful view Of
the campaign, but has no definite figures
of the outcome to submit to show just how
he expects the House to stand in the next
Congress.
Mr.. Williams visited the headquarters Of
the democratic congressional committee to-
day, and there saw Mr.. John Wesley
Gaines, who has the distinction of having
compiled the democratic campaign book ,
Gaines said Mr.. Williams. Il have
read your handbook through and through
and 1t Is the best campaign book l have
known since 1 have been in Congress"
Mr.. Williams went on to enlarge upon his
commentator of the handbook which has
a lot of tariff reform in it and not sylla-
Ole concerning the government ownership
of railroads.
Mr.. Williams Is pronounced in declaring
that the government ownership germ should
be eliminated from the democracy, and
everywhere he will speak from now on, II
he refers to that policy of controlling the
railroads at all, he will warn the democrats
against it. He has already frequently de-
clared that that fallacy should be eliminat-
ed from the Bryan platform, at the same
time declaring his confidence in Mr.. Bryan
generally as the logical and strongest lead
er of the democracy in the next national
campaign.
