the next republican convention. It Is

JUDGE LEWIS SAYS RAILROAD

BENEFICIAL
Strangers Attracted to Place and Rea

4 Little

Judge J. v. Lewis, justice of the
peace of Wallula and one of Walla
Walla county's picturesque characters
was in the city Saturday On business.
IF there is any truth in all this news
paper talk about Wallula being the
objective point for a half dozen or so
transcontinental railroads, I guess our
old town is destined to occupy a pretty
prominent position on the commercial
map before long" Judge Lewis re-
marked to Statesman representative.
But" chuckled the venerable justice
of the peace, eff a few more towns
spring up along the river between
Wallula and Kennewick I am afraid
there won't be much room left for all
these railroad and irrigation schemes.
We now have Kennewick, Hover, Aims
worth, South Ainsworth. North Wal
lula, South Wallula, Central Wallula,
the old town Of Wallula and then
Wallula proper. AS a matter Of fact,
on paper, it is town all the way from
Kennewick to Wallula.
But seriously speaking, Wallula. is
benefiting a great deal from all this
railroad talk and the two big irriga-
ton projects that are being put under
way to reclaim several thousand acres
of land in the vicinity of the town.
The Columbia Irrigation company mas
water in it's big ditch already for the
land and the Snake River Irrigation
company has started up it's pumping

ing a success understand that water
has been turned into the main canal
and the pumping plant is working
fine. A great many strangers are
dropping into town and there is con-
siderable activity in real estate"

NEW YORK, JAN 1.-The Rookie
Teller Institute for Medical Research
is almost completed and will be ready
for its opening within a few days.
This institution was founded by John
D. Rockefeller is 1901 The immediate
cause of his action was the death of
his little granddaughter five years ago,
from dysentery. He felt that aplace in
which this and other diseases might be
studied by experts would be of great
service and in a short time he had the
general plan Of this institution in his
mind AS soon as it was founded and
preparations for plans and buildings
begun, the boards Of directors estab-
tories in this country, and sent several
physicians to Europe to pursue inves-

twenty-six city lots, and the main
building, five stories high, provides
for physiological, chemical and
archaeological laboratories, gives the
third and fourth floors to experimental
pathology and bacteriology and the
fifth to pnotomicrography and general
photography. The first floor contains
the library and assembly hall and the
necessary administration offices. Be-
sides the main buildin there are sew
eral smaller buildings for special pur-
poses For the building and equip
ment Mr.. Rockefeller has given $3,-
100000 and it is understood than any
endowment needed in addition to
what mas been given, will be added.
The possibilities of good results from
an institution thus equipped and
maintained are almost beyond calcula-

Widow Settles Claims.

DIES MONIES, Jan. 2.-After a
years litigation to determine who was
the legal widow Of the late E. L. Du-
bois, a wealthy contractor of Des
Moines, three women have settled the
turmoil, the final act being the sale
by two of the women for $40 to the
widow recognized by the court of the
grave where the much married mans
body reposes.
While at Denver eight years ago he
married a prominent woman. At st.
Paul ne married another woman, and
had homes for her there and in Des
Moines. Later he spent summer in
New Orleans and married a prominent
woman there.
He died here suddenly with wife
No. 2 of st. Paul at his bedside She
arranged for the funeral. However,
some one who knew of Dubois other
wives wired them Of his death.
The Denver and New Orleans women
came to Des Moines on the day Of the
funeral. The Denver woman was de-
clared the righful widow by the courts,
and secured the property-all except
the lot in Woodland cemetery, which
she has just bought.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. "A
number Of highly important cases
have been set for hearing today.
One Of the most important cases
which will come up today is the re-
hearing in the case Of Lincoln and of
Walker, Barnes & Co., against the
Philippine tariffs. Oral arguments
will be heard today upon the one
question only: HAS Congress the
power to rectify what the president
did in the matter of collecting Philip
pine revenues under his war power,
after the treaty of Paris had been rat
flied and before there was any legis-
lation on the subject" The case was
originally decided by the supreme
court against the United States. If the
decision is confirmed on renearing, it
will mean the refunding by the gov
eminent Of several million dollars paid
by the plaintiffs.
The Wisconsin Paper Trust con-
tempt cases have been advanced for
today by the supreme court and with
them the appeal in the st. Paul cases
in which fines for contempt were i'm
posed by Judge Vandeventer. An
other case, wnich is to be called today

the alleged illegal acquisition of tim

The hearing in the case Of the state
of Missouri versus the state of ILL

the important cases set for hearing
today.

BROTHER A FARMER.
He Never Had Political Ambitions and
Is Content With His Lot.

JACKSONVILLE, Mich, Jan. a.
Hidden away in a farming community
some five miles from here lives Thos
Garfield, only brother of the martyred
president.
Neither fame nor wealth has been
his portion. While his brother was
climbing the ladder ne was telling the
forest and harvesting crops.
He is now 70 years Of age and is
sturdy, in spite of his disabilities.
When but 10 years old he met with
permanent injury from overtaxing
himself in lifting, and he now walks
with difficulty.
This does not keep him from work.

finds his way to the fields to husk corr
and see that matters are looked after.
Mr.. Garfield came to Michigan near
ly forty years ago, buying the farm he
now owns, and he has not been off the
place half a dozen times since.
Il suppose you will think it funny,
but 1 have never been in Washington,
said he. after James had been elect
ed president went to Mentor to visit
him for a week before he was inaugu-
rated While there he told me that 1t
was the worst thing that could have
happened to him. He wanted to go tc
the senate, where he thought he could
accomplish more good; but the pres
idency was forced upon nim."
In his simple way Mr.. Garfield is
immensely proud of his brother; ant

ELIOT WON'T STAND FOR IT.

A special dispatch from la Harbor,
Me, to the Chicago Tribune says that
President Eliot of Harvard does not
sympathize with President Roosevelt
in the matter of spelling reform. In
an interview he said he did not think
the plan proposed would be adopted by
the people generally. He thought there
would be strong opposition on the part
would mean a considerable financial
loss to them, as the most important
works are nowadays published on both
sides of the Atlantic from the same
plates.
The English will hardly adopt the
new system President Eliot said,
which would mean not only that pub
fishers would be obliged to make two
sets of plates but that all the present
plates of standard and popular works
would be rendered incorrect and with
out value. It can be seen at n glance
that publishers viii object ~strenuously
against any change IN the system of
spelling, and as our books naturally
set the style 1t would practically be i'm
possible, or at least difficult, to bring
about any innovation in this direction
without the assistance of the publishers.
1t will be found the public will not like
the looks of thru and tho and words
similarly spelled"
It was admitted by President Eliot
that some distinguished men, like
President Butler of Columbia, favored
changes in spelling similar to those
contained in the present proposition,
but on the whole President Eliot
thought the people would be a long
time in bringing themselves TO a full
acceptance of the new style. He said
he did not care for it himself and it
was his opinion the plan would not be
acceptable to educators as a rule.
Even II President Roosevelt should
set the example by writing his next
message in the new style of spelling
President Eliot did not think it would
have great effect in the way of bring
ing imitators. He thought the people
did not regard the presidents message
as spelling copy, but rather as a source
of information concerning current af,
fairs and matters of proposed legisla'
ton.

Wyoming Man in List.


There is ample material in the west.
Scarcely a state, am told, is unable
to supply a jurist of splendid ability.
Such men as Hon. Joel F. Vale of Col
orado, Hon. Custer H. Lindley of Cali
%fornia, Hon. Willis Vandeventer of wy
oming, or Hon. John A. Marshall and
a number of others from Utah, would
not only fill the requirements of the
times, but their selection would main
tain the dignity and the integrity Of
the court.
Judge Marshall is especially well fit
ted. The great interpreter of the on
stitution, possibly the greatest jurist
who has occupied the supreme bench
of the United States, was a blood rela-
ton. Should President Roosevelt
eschew politics in the selection of a
successor to Mr.. Justice Harlan and
call the present United States judge
from the district Of Utah to the SUI
preme bench, a thing also politically
justified by the fact that but three
of the nine supreme court justices now
are democrats, it would not only be a
distinguished service to the west, but
additional honor to the name of the ap-
pointee's illustrious ancestor.
