When Missouri surprised the country
by going Republican in 1904 it meant
the retirement from the United States
senate of one Of its most familiar fig
ures, Francis M. Cockrell, who was
the choice of Missouri Democrats for
| the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton of that year. Commissioner Cock
rell served thirty years in the senate
and, though born In 1884, is still hale
and hearty. He graduated from Chap
ell Hill college, Lafayette county, Mo,
and was brigadier general on the
Confederate side in the civil war. AS
he was an ardent supporter of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's railway policy it was
urged that the senatorial guardian of
Uncle Sans strong box during Mr.
Cleveland's administration would make
a good member of the commission
President Roosevelt took the same
view and made the appointment just
a year ago.

that 1t was declared impossible for
him to live. He recovered, however.

the loss Of one lung. 1t was impossible
for him to return to his old trade, and
he was ambitious to become a lawyer,

CONTEST TAX LEVY VALIDITY.
Ncz Perce County Changes Front on
an Issue.

The Lewiston Tribune thus outlines
an important issue arising from the
county division effected in that neigh
borhood about two years ago:
1t is learned that the Clearwater
Timber company will soon institute
an action against Nez Perce and
Shoshone counties contesting the val
idity of the taxes levied against about
$4,000 acres of timber land in that
section of Nez Perce county which
formerly was part of Shoshone coun-
ty.
The lands in question had been en-
tered by script, and the contention of
the company is that title did not vest
in them at the time of the levy, the
federal government not having passed
upon the selections. The taxes in
question are those imposed by Shos-
hone county in 1903 and 1904 and by
Nez Perce county in 1905. The Nez
Perce tax amounts to about $4,000 and
the total amount involved is about
$4,000.
The case will be an interesting one
in view of the fact that Nez Perce
county, in resisting the agreement
reached as to a division of the in
debtedness of the south Shoshone sec
tion, contended to the supreme court
that these timber lands could not be
taxed nor could they be classed as as
sessable property in adjusting that
feature of the annexation matter. The
court in its decision held that they
could not go back of the record of the
case.
If in the action now to be instituted
1t is held that the lands should not
have been taxed, it can quickly be seen
that these lands, their values and the
taxes imposed against them should
not have been entered into the an
nexation adjustment, which Nez Perce
is now fighting,

YAKIMA GAMES CLOSED.
Mayor and Marshal Are Suppressing
All Kinds of Vices.

The gambling halls, the pool and
billiard rooms and the macques must
cease their business operations in this
city, says the Yakima Republic. The
mayor and city marshal are getting
after them and unless they make
themselves scarce they will be en-
meshed in the drag net of the law.
The first act of City Marshal Hun
ter after he got his authority from
the present administration was to
close the gambling halls. He went to
all the places where the men of the
green cloth held sway and directed
that they close up.
Marshal Hunter also went at the
pool and billiard hall proprietors. He
found IA boys in one of these places
and in two others there were half a
dozen or more youngsters. The boys
were all sent home and the proprie-
tors instructed that II they permitted
boys to frequent their places again
they would have their license revoked.
The next move of the marshal was
to get after the macques. There are
five or six of this class of men loafing
about the red light district. Marshal
Hunter stated this morning that the
police will make raids on the places
I'm the restricted district for the pur-
pose of cleaning out these worthless
characters. The main trouble they
have in arresting such men is that
evidence is hard to obtain against
them. BY making a raid and captur-
ing them in the resorts evidence then
comes at first hand.
Mayor Reed is sincere in the desire
to break up gambling. He says that
he had knowledge of one saloon fit
ting up a gambling table and running
a wheel openly. This was before he
took office. He says that in the flu
ture there will be a close watch KEEP
on such places and arrest will follow
a violation of the law.

THE year 1905 was as good If not
better than the year 1904 in a tele-

being gotten into fine shape. The de-
velopment of the past 10 years has
been experimental in many ways t,ut
out of 1t is coming a perfected sys-
