CHICAGO TOO POOR.
More Police Needed, but Money Lack
ing to Make City Safe.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-Convinced of
the necessity of more policemen-as
well as more efficient policemen-the
council committee on police depart
ment yesterday gave it's unanimous ap-
proval to the addition of 500 men to
the force, 100 of whom are to be
mounted Then the committee instant
ly was confronted with a statement of
the condition of the city treasury that
seemed to prohibit the increase. So it
was determined to leave the problem
in the hands of the council finance
committee to devise a way of raising
the necessary $4,000 a year.
The one suggestion for a financial
remedy was made by Alderman Ray
mer, who proposed doubling the fee for
city licenses of saloons. This measure,
he declared, would have the double
benefit of increasing the revenue and
at the same time of wiping out a class
of low saloons that harbor hoodlums
and thugs.
The high license plan was favored
by several other members Of the coun-
Gil who were present and Alderman
Raymer stated that he would present
it forc'bly to the finance committee
at it's next meeting.

COUNTY ATTORNEY WILSON Rem.
DERS OPINION ON APPOINT
MENT OF VIEWERS.

Yesterday County Attorney Wilson
rendered an opinion in the matter of
the power of the county commissioners
to appoint viewers in matter of petit
lions for changes in roads. The opin-
ion was given at the request Of County
Surveyor Loehr, who has been at
sword points with the commissioners
for some time over road matters. In
rendering the opinion Mr.. Wilson said:
SECTIONS 20 and 81 of the road law
were enacted in 1890, and I am of the
opinion that they were repealed in
1895 and 1901. The latter law does
away with the viewers and requires
the survey and report Of the surveyor
in such cases just as in the case of the
establishment of a new county road.
Sections 20 and 81, in my opinion, are
wholly obsolete and have no place in
the present laws"
Continuing, the attorney says: "a
petition for a change in a county road,
which change is wholly upon the land
of some one person Or persons who

REFUSE TO ACCEPT BONDS.
Claim Made That Indebtedness Limit
Is Reached.

ABERDEEN, S. D., Jan. 24-It is
more than probable that the bonds
recently issued by the city of Aber-
deem for a municipal electric-light
plant will not prove marketable. The
firm of N. w. Harris & Co., the sue
cessful bidder for the bonds, now
claims that the city has already
reached the limit of Indebtedness al
lowed by law, and that it cannot there
fore take the bonds. The city authori-
ties are investigating the situation and
will make a complete report of the
city's financial condition.
1t is believed the report will show
that the bonds are entirely legal SO
far as the city's present Indebtedness
is concerned.
Another question in regard to the le-
gality of the bonds has arisen, it being
charged that the notice of the special
election called for the purpose of vot-
ing on the bond proposition was only
advertised ten days, while the law re-
ouires when a bond proposition is
concerned that the election be adver-
tised for twenty days. 1t is probable
that if the bonds prove salable another
election will have to be held to legal
ize them.

Promises to Be Biggest One Ever
Held Here.
GAME CHICKENS FROM ACROSS LINE
Officers Of Association Are in Receipt
of Many Letters From
Poultry Men.

BY every mail Secretary Levy of the
Walla Walla Poultry association re-
ceives letters of inquiry concerning the
poultry show that will be given in
Armory hal next month. Judging from
the amount of interest that is being
taken this Observation-Disclosures
taken throughout the country the
show this year will be the biggest ever
held in southeastern Washington.
The first entry was made yesterday
when Mrs. j. M. Davis of Tekoa filled
out blank placing a pen of black
Orpingtons on exhibition in COMPETE
ton for prizes.
The association has arranged with
T. Wilkinson, of Nanaimo, B. c., to
bring a pen of thoroughbred game
chickens to the show. They are said
to be among the best birds in the
country and the local exhibitors will
have to look we'll to their game chick
ems if they expect to beat the British
Columbia raiser in that line. In order
that the birds may be allowed to come
across the line into the United States
without a duty being imposed it was
necessary for the officers of the local
association to enter into a bond that
the chickens are not to be imported in
violation of the laws.
Secretary Levy announced this
morning that the Acme Milling COM
pany of Portland, which also has a
mill at Lamar in this county, will fur
nish free all the feed necessary for the
birds at the show.

Hunt in accepting the honor made a

Queen iona 1 will ascend her throne
hold sway during TIE evening. On this
occasion she will issue her second
proclamation. While none of it's con-
tents have been given out for publica-
ton it is said by one of the members
of her court it will contain many new

the best amateur musical organizations
in Walla Walla and the patrons of the
carnival are assured several enjoyable
numbers.
The attendance at the carnival last
night was good and those who attended
Confetti battles were the order and
everybody enjoyed the fun. All Of the
booths were we'll patronized last night
and the receipts when counted up at
the close showed quite neat sum had
been realized AS usual, the country
store was the center of attraction. 1t
was necessary to employ several more
clerks and Manager Lambert had his
hands full in looking after the wants
of his many customers. In the way
of diversion Mr.. Lambert entertained
the crowd with an enjoyable cornet
solo. He proved himself to be an &C
complisned musician and his effort was
we'll received.
Louie Brothers, the acrobats, made
their first appearance at the carnival
last night. They did splendid work
and their efforts to please were well
received by the audience. They are
first class artists in their line and this
act alone is well worth the price of
admission.
Another new feature was the singing
of Widow Carter. She captured the
crowd with her vocal selections.
Freeman and Clark did another good
stunt, which was quite amusing and
seemed to strike the jolly crowd just
right.
The Walla Walla Military band rem
dered a good program, which brought
forth much applause from the people.
