Basket Ball.

Last Friday evening our high school
girls basket ball team went to Sagi-
paw to play the high school team of
that city.
The game was an interesting one,
both sides playing well. The first bas-
ket was made by Clio, Inez Field maxi
ing longdistance field throw. Our
forwards were SO well guarded that
this was the only basket made by them
in the first half, while Saginaw made
two. In the second half Clio again made
the first basket, tying the score. 1t
Remained thus for some minutes, when
by what seemed to be run of luck,
(Saginaw made several baskets in sue
,ession while our girls were unable to
|get but one more basket. The final
score was 16 to in favor of Saginaw.
\ Both teams fouled several times but
n, scores resulted from these fouls.

E. White, Wednesday, February 9th
at O'Clock. Please be on time so that
we may not be hurried with our pro-

White Ribboners, who worked so
faithfully last year to prevent the open
ing of the State Fair on Sunday, will
be pleased to know that Fred Postal,
president of the State Fair Association,
has recommended that the gates be
closed on Sunday this year. One of
the reasons he gives for so doing is,
that it should be done in Difference to
the wishes of large number who do
not think that the Fair should be open
ed on that day. He also recommended
that no gambling permit should be sold
at any price and that all contracts
should be so drawn that it would not be
possible to abuse their terms in that
direction.

TRAGEDY AT MT. MORRIS
Lewis, ten year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Christopher Melvaney Killed
in Saw Mill.

One of the saddest accidents in the
history of Mt. Morris occurred last
Saturday afternoon when Lewis, the
ten year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chris
topher Melvaney, of that village, was
caught in belt at Eagan's saw mill
and carried to his death in the shaftings
on the ceiling. He was killed instantly.
Lewis, with playmate, Howard
Eagan, went to the saw mill to play,
notwithstanding the fact that they had
been warned not to stay. The boys
went into the saw dust room where
Lewis began to swing on belt which
at the time was not running. While
twisting himself around the belt, his
playmate said, it started to move with
terrible velocity, hurling the helpless
lad high above to the ceiling, winding
him around the shaftings and mangling
his body frightfully. His playmate
gave the warning, but too late, and the
father who happened on the spot could
do nothing. The mill was closed down

mains to the home few rods away
When told that her child was killed the
unfortunate mother was almost insane
with grief.
The deceased was student in the
grammar department in the Mt. Nor
ris school. Besides his parents, he is
survived by four sisters, Lucy, Gene
We've, Mary and Josephine, and bro
ther Charles. Louis was the youngest
member of the family.
The funeral was held Tuesday morn
ing from st. Mary's Catholic church;
interment in the Catholic cemetery.
The parents and family have the
sympathy of the entire village and
community who mourn with them the
tragic death of their little son.
The school was closed all day as a
mark of respect to the deceased pupil,
and the grade in which Lewis was a
student together with his teacher, Miss
Dolan, attended the funeral in body.

COUNTY SURVEYORS
GET SAME OLD SALARY.

TACOMA. Aug. 23.-Judge NJ. L.
Clifford has denied the suit of Adolph
Funke. county engineer, for an in
crease of salary of from So a day to
5000 a month. The case was brought
by Funke on the warrant of the new
law passed by the last legislature,
making the salary of county auditors,
and changing the name of the official
from county surveyor to county engi-
neer. Funke claimed that as the name
of his Office had been changed the law
raising his salary was also duly eff
fective The law itself does not def
nitely state when it becomes effective.
Funke's attorneys claimed that it was
in force as soon as passed and ap-
proved by the governor. In his opin-
ion today, Judge Clifford held that the
law did hot become effective until the
next election. and that Funke's salary
should remain what it is until then.
The ease was in a measure a test
suit, as the law affects the surveyors
in other counties of the state. Judge
Clifford maintains in the opinion, that
the salary of no public servant can be
raised according to the laws of the
state during his present term of office
Funke has not decided as to whether
he will appeal.

The singers who will compose the

Prof A c. Jackson, first base; G. A
Turner. second base.
Providing singers can be obtained

of 20 male voices Local talent voca
music is a new feature for the fair and
it is the ambition of Mr.. Turner that
his singers make such success this
year that the fair managers will not
look outside of Walla Wal1a for sing
ers in the future.
Arrangements have been made with
the Fischer school of music to supply
the singing music for one day. This
will consist of a combination of vocal
and instrumental selections.

POOL SELLING
TO Be STOPPED
LIBERAL ELEMENT OF SEATTLE
JOINS IN FIGHT AGAINST RAJ
cling AT MEADOWS.

SEATTLE, Aug 23.-The element
that was once powerful here in the
open town fight has Joined the church
crowd in campaign against horse
racing, and they will carry the cam
paigI. before the next state legislature.
More than 500 so-called sports have
signed petition asking that betting
on horse races within so miles of a
city of the first or second class be de-
clared a felony together with the vari-
Gus gambling games. The 50-mile radi-
us is a concession to the farming COM
lnunities who have opposed anti-pool
selling legislation on the groun that it
would prevent country fairs from hold
ing races during their shows.
Attorneys engaged by the liberal ell
ement .are circulating the petitions
and declare that they have been en-
gagged for two years crusade and
will take the anti-pool selling bill be-
fore the legislature in 1909 At present
there is no law in this state that pro-
hibits betting on horse race though
The larger cities have, by ordinances,
forbidden the establishment of pool
rooms. No matter what the result of
the joint church and gambling crusade
NAV be, results cannot be had before
the winter Of 1909
In the meantime the Rev. DIR. M. A
Matthews, Seattle's most fashionable
minister, declares that if the selling of
liquor is not stopped, his organiza-
ion will take steps to hold the county
attorney and sheriff responsible.
by a popularity of the Washington
iews no liquor licenses can be issued
within radius of one mile from a
city of the first class. The Meadows is
closer than that to Seattle and the
commissioners have never been asked
for liquor license. A saloon at the
track pays SO a day for the privilege
of satisfying thirsty race track patrons
and the county authorities have re-
fused to interfere though it operates
without license. There is every pros
rect that the first blow at the racing
game will be struck here by closing the
saloon this year. Pool selling can live
another year unless the general nuis-
ance act can reach it, but the combined
church and gambling alliance threaten
IL with extinction in 1909.

TO PUT STATE SCHOOLS
ON SYSTEMATIC BASIS

OLYMPIA. Aug. 23.-The system of
bookkeeping and accounting followed

Tertiary and other institutions under
the jurisdiction of the state board of
control, is shortly to be established in
the state university at Seattle, state
college at Pullman and state normal
schools at Cheney, Bellingham and
Ellcnsburg.
The system the board has used for
years at the other institutions has beer.
such success that it's general adop-
ton in all state institutions may be
reasonably predicted. J. H. Davis of
the board and c. c. Aspinwal secre-
tary and bookkeeper, this week visited
the state normal school at Bellingham,
the first institution to be taken up I'M
der the new law. All the other schools
will be visited in turn.

According to railway officials, dur
ing the March and April season of
colonist rates, the Hartman lines
brought to this coast from the east
and middle west, $4,000 people, and the
general passenger agen of the o. R..
& ~ says the outlook that during
September and October, while the fail
colonist rates are in vogue, there will
be a much greater emigration. How
many thousand will Walla Walla get
out of this number? 1t might be a
good scheme for the carnival commit
tee, or the Commercial club, or the
Fair association, or all of them, to
put a mar. or two over about Hunting
ton to herd some of those good people
over here into the finest valley in the
