OPPOSITION IS DEVELOPING
AGAINST ANNEXATION SCHEME

Voters in the city and territory No.
l. will have the right to vote for or
against both propositions. or for one
of them and against one. just as they
please. and will mark their ballots by
placing an x in the space or square
shown on the ballot. just like other
forms of ballots with which they have
become familiar heretofore.
In 'he polling place in territory No.
2. which is A. Wilson's residence. South
Second street. the ballot will have only
one proposition on 1T as follows:
Proposition No. 2. Shall the terri
tory described in said petition No. be
annexed to and become a part Of the
corporate limits of the city Of walla
Walla? For annexation { }. Against
annexation { }. The voters will
have the right to vote for or against
this proposition by marking with the
cross. as above explained.
In other words. in the city, and in
territory No. /, the voters vote for or
against two propositions; in territory
No. 2. they vote for only one. If pro-
position No. 2 carries in all precincts.
city and country. then the whole an
nexation scheme carries. If proposition
No. is voted down, and proposition
No. / carries. then territory No. 1 will
come into the corporate limits. and No.
will stay out. 1t will require a ma
jority Of the votes cast in the city. and
in each of said territories also to
bring all in. If the city votes for both.
and the country votes against botn.
then both annexations fail. and nothing
will be annexed: if the city votes FOR
annexation. and either of said terri
tories woes a majority for annexa-
ton. than that particular territory will
be annexed.

SOLDIERS DESERVING
FROM BOISE BARRACKS

BOISE. May 21.-It seems there have
been an unusual number of desertions
from the troops at the barracks in the
past few weeks and the matter has
caused some comment. Asked about it
last evening, Captain Dudley, the COM
manding officer. said:
1T is true that we have lost seven
men inside of the last few weeks. AS
a rule. of course they are the worst
characters in the troops. but l have
lost one or two good men.
Il had some evidence that these men
have been offered some inducement to
desert, and in fact, men Of the troops
tell me that they are continually Of
fered inducements to desert and work
in the mines by strangers whom they
meet down town.
"Some months ago the same condi-
tions existed and We lost a lot of men,
but the desertions ceased for time.
Recently. however, it has recommended
and evidently these people who are do
ing the work Of tampering with my
men have redoubled their efforts.
"Of course we can supply the places
of the deserters at once with good men.
l am informed that enough men to fill
the two troops out to their full strength
are now on their way here. this means
about 80 men to bring us up to normal
strength"

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
HAD FINE MEETING

John P. Kent. grand knight of the
local lodge of knights of Columbus, is
back from Tacoma where he attended
the state council of the order held in
the City of Destiny.
Mr.. Kent says the meeting was in
every way success and many inno-
vations beneficial to the order were
voted on and carried through by the
delegates. Six grand knights were on
the -rostrum when tac council opened,
this being an unusual feature.
Colonel VIM. Dunphy of this city
was elected alternate to state deputy.
T. J. German, who was appointed as
delegate to the national convention at
jamestown next month Colonel Dun
ply will undoubtedly take the trip as
German will probably be unable to go.
Following were the officers chosen
for the state, the coming year.

Walla Walla's fond dreams OF a
main line are to be realized at last if
plans now contemplated by the 0. r.
& n. company are pushed through.
Two through trains from Spokane to
Portland connecting at Spokane with
the Great Northern and with the Ca
madam Pacific via the new Corbin
road and opening up through service
to the east on two great continental
railways is the scheme now proposed.
These new trains will go through
Walla Walla and Pendleton and the
Garden City will thus be on the main
travelled ways over which many thou
sands of tourists will pass in their
annual flight to the Pacific coast.
The vista of progress and develop
ment opened up by this service is a
long one and means much to the fu-
ture greatness of the city.
Several hundred thousand people
who might never have otherwise heard
of the Walla Walla valley except
through advertising matter will have
a chance to come here and look over
the surrounding country every year
the home seeker and capitalist are
not to be over looked. This means a
large increasein the population and
wealth in a short time.
The officials of the company with
headquarters in this city are absent
over in Pendleton now. it is said, in
trip of inspection with the head men
of the o. r. & n. and the result of
The conference is expected to be put
ting on of the main line connection
with the east the first of the month.
Whether or not this will affect the
Spokane flyer between Portland and
Spokane via the Riparia cutoff couiu
not be learned today but it is thought
this service will be discontinued for a
time at least after the overland trains
are started.
The move while in contempla ton
for long time is thought to have
been fastened because of the advent
of the electric road between Milton
and this city. The O. r. & n COM
pany mas already lost hundreds of
dollars per month since the new line
has been in operation and the threat
the NoI Ithwestern company has forced
the big railroad company to put on a
better passenger and freight service
or lose its supremacy between here
and Pen1leton
AS an example of the money los.
by the o. r. & n. it may be said that
where they formerly sold 500 tickets to
Milton rom this city they now only
sell ten to twelve monthly. This ex-
elusive of the big traffic in freight
which has been turned into the Elec-
trio company.
The war to be wageC for the SUI
fremacy between the two companies

please the public any way it turns
out as the service IS bound to better
and cheaper as a natural consequence.

OUNNE DENIES MOTION
Judge Refuses 10 Give Mayor Sch
mItz Change Of Venue

SAN FRANCISCO. May 21.-Judge
Dunno today denied a motion for Il
change of venue In the Schmitz case
after listening to the reading of the
affidavits submitted ay the defense and,
the state this morning. When the de-
cision was announced several specta-
tors hissed The work of calling the
trial jurors then began. The small
court room in which Dunno is hold
ing the session was crowded with
spectators. When Mayor SchmitZ ap-
peared with his attorneys the aisles
were so crowded he had difficulty in
making his way to his seat.
The defense's affidavit in support OF
the motion charged Dunno with being
biased and under the influence of the
press. 1t accused Spreckles of perse-
cutting Schmitz for the purpose of Sc
curing control of the board of super
visOrs or grab immense street railroad
and water rights. 1t charges that
such control had already been secured
and maintained; that Spreckles was
practically the ruler of the city. Judge
Dunne's counter affidavit denied any
bias. The Spreckles affidavit declared
he had no motive in guaranteeing the
100000 fund other than to secure the
conviction of all grafters, high and low.
He mad no personal prejudice against
SchmitZ any more than against any
other official accused of robbing the
city. He asserted he had no political
ambitions or hopes and expected no
financial reward of any nature.
