But for heavens sake let us not stop
there. Let us be big enough to see
that the other harbors on the coast are

Thomas f. Armistead of the Halle
wood Cream Co. of Portland, the larg-
est single manufacturing ice cream and
butter firm in the northwest, was at
Coos Bay and he likes it. In writing
10 the editor of this paper he says
some very nice things about the Frm-
ers' and shippers congress, and the
way it was managed, and then adds:
"Most certainly the trip was an en-
ioyable one from pleasure stand

Pretty tall talk for Coos Bay, but
every bit deserved. We should have
a senator who gets as enthusiastic as
that over Coos Bay, or even con.
gresham would do.

Sugar Boat
In Trouble
SHIP ARTHUR SEWALL WILL
PROBABLY BE DELAYED REACH
ING HONOLULU-CARGO HEATED

News of a mishap to another of the
sugar sailing fleet has been received.
The big ship Arthur Sewall has met
with trouble on her outward voyage to
Manila. She left Philadelphia for Ma
Mia with a cargo of coal for the gov
ernment. She is reported from Bata-
via, Java, to have discovered the coal
in her after hatch to be heated.
This coal is evidently the same stuff
that was carried by other American
vessels for the Navy Department. It
has proved to be very infiammable
kind. The ship Erskine NJ Phelps had
a bad fire with the cargo and other
American vessels had similar expert
ences.
Particular interest is attIched to the
trouble with the Sewall as she is un-
der charter to come to Honolulu from
Manila to load about 5000 tons Of su-
gar for Delaware Breakwater. There
will, in all likelihood, be some delay
now in her arriving at this port to load.

dead lad were shown to the weeping
witness, and she identified them. No

shown in a courtroom, and there was

Election of the general horror. The al
legged murderer glanced furtively at
the dirty garments, shifted uneasily in
his chair ana seemed to be perturbed,
but not much more than during all the
session, for he sits by his counsel and
incessantly rolls his eyes with the ut
most nervousness.

The most painful and dramatic court
room scene ever witnessed here, as old
time attorneys who saw it say, came
as a sudden climax this morning before
Judge Robinson in the trial of the
Johnson murder case, when Mrs. Whar-
ton Historically gave way during an
attempt to relate the events of the day
on which her child was killed by the
defendant, as is charged. Judge Rob-
inson hastily granted a request Of Dep
uty Attorney General Prosser for a re-
cess. and as the jurors and the crowd
of listeners left the courtroom it was
noticeable that number were actually
crying. The distressing details Of the
mothers search for her boy, as told
by herself until the memory became
too much for her, were too much also

The anti-civic element of the Re-
publican party here is working very
hard, even if there are about seven
months ebefore election to organize
for the campaign This is the ele-
ment of which the Lane crowd, as
they have come to be called, is a part.
I'VE are busy every day and night"
said a member today, 'and we are go
ing to control the situation. The Civic
Federation move is one calculated to
destroy the party here, and we will
show the few who are the supporters of
that movement that they don't know
any more about politics now than they
did last time"
There are two leading propositions
in the machine" which is being or
ganized. One is the insuring of the
election of Kuhio again and the other
is the downing Of the civics, who are
accused of trying to undo all that has
been done in six years to instil the
Straight ticket doctrine into the
minds of voters here. Ever since Ha
wall became Territory there has been
a lot of preaching of the Straight
ticket" doctrine,-though returns do
not indicate that intelligent voters have
paid much attention to it,-and now
he civic movement is regarded as one
within the party against this pet doc
trine.
If leading members of the Republican
party are to join such a movement as
that of the Civics it is argued, there
will be little use in straight-ticket talk
hereafter Hence the present move
ment is largely on a fight for the
straight ticket doctrine,-the PROPOSE
tion that man who claims to be a
Republican is under some sort of an
obligation to swallow whole any sort
of ticket the "r gular' Republican
organization chooses to shove at him.
The Kuhio-Lane men are therefore or
ganizing everywhere to get native vot-
ers under the straight ticket banner.

KEPT AWAY FROM
MURDER SCENE
MRS. WHARTON HAS NOT AP-
PREACHED IT SINCE THE
DEATH OF HER BOY.

The cross examination of Mrs. Whar-
ton by Attorney T. M. Harrison for the
defense, began this afternoon in Judge
Robnson's court. Harrison asked a
number of questions regarding the ap-
parent condition of Johnson, when he
was last seen with the Wharton boy.
Mrs. Wharton said he was not drunk
and she declared that at breakfast that
morning he had been sober and had
talked nationally Harrison question
ed her regarding the condition of the
scene of the murder now and as it was
when the crime was committed and
she said that since the finding of the
boys body she had never been near the
spot.

The Kuhio end of the movement is
waiting for some public announcement
from the Prince. Half a dozen have
heard from him privately, and all the
letters show that he intends to run. He
has, in fact, written to A. G. M. Rob-
ertson to that effect. But before they
come into the open for Kuhio, his
workers say they expect him to make
a public announcement
Kuhio's announcement, it is said,
win have for one of it's features a
pledge not to run again. Robertson,
to whom the pledge is said to have
been made, has a faraway look in his
eyes when politics is the subject and
his principal indulgence is i'm a burst
of silence" Some of his friends, how
ever, have said that he does not ac-
cuse Kuhio of bad faith with him
Robertson was asked if he cared to
make public the letter he was reported
to have received from Kuhio, an
nouncing that Kuhio would run, and, it
is supposed, explaining Kuhio's posi-
tiOn. 1T is a private letter." said
Robertson, following up the remark
with more of the solemn silence for
which he is noted.
A formal public announcement Of
candidacy will come from Kuhio, it is
said, explaining his position. In the
meantime his supporters and the op-
ponents of the Civic Federation, do not
miss night in holding a meeting or a
conference somewhere.
In addition to the general movements,
there are all sorts of small, on-the-s,de
campaigns being worked. Private
hammers are in action on every hand
and this accounts for as much of the
early political activity of the present
as anything else, for most of those in
county offices, especially members of
the Board of Supervisors, have arous-
ed jealousies and enmities which are
not slow in getting to work.

Adjusted Lumber Prices.

A number of the sawmill ope-
rators up on the mountain gath
cred in the city Saturday and ar
ranged a new price list for their
lumber as the old prices were too
low when compared with the
price paid for timber and the ex-
pense of milling. Those present
at the meeting were ]. B. Krieg-
er, John Hoene, A. D. Williams,
H. A. James, Frank Wright,
Fred Rustemeyer and Anton
Berens. The prices adopted
were as follows:
Rough lumber, up to 20 feet,
$40 per thousand, with an increa-
Sc of 81 per thousand for each
|. two feet over 20 feet. Shiplap,
SIS, Rustic, No. /, $23; No. 2, $18.

No. 2, $40; No. l, six inch S23;
No. 2, $18. Finishing lumber
from $24 to $50. Beaded ceiling
S26.
It is believed all the mill men
in this vicinity will accept these
prices owing to the demand fol
lumber and the increased cost Of
milling the same.

It is said a petition is being
circulated to have Rudolph Wet
ter's death sentence changed to
one Of life Imprisonment. If it
would end with this there would
be no complaint but as it is we
cannot advocate the change.
Wetter committed two of the
foulest murders ever committed
in this country, was tried and
found guilty by a competent
jury and sentenced to death.
The case was appealed and the
lower court sustained and now to
evade justice the move is made
to have his sentence changed to
one of life Imprisonment, it be-
ing argued that he was tenpor-
arily insane when he did the kill
ing. This plea is becoming too
common. Every day the plea of
temporary insanity is raised for
those hoping to escape the gal
lows. No one, however, would
object if Wetter's sentence were
changed to a life sentence if it
stopped there, but it would not.
In a few years some tender
hearted governor, in an effort to
glorify himself forever, would
effect his pardon and this double
murderer would be turned. loose
to perhaps soon become again
insane from wild anger a fancied
wrongs and wreak his vengeance
on the unprotected and unsu-
specting. Better, far better,
that the one life be taken now
than for several to be hurled in
to eternity later by this pardon
ed murderer.
