House Passes Resolutions for
Land Office Sitting.
COMMISSIONER TO Fight II OUT
POLITICAL DISASTER FOR HEAD
OF DEPARTMENT If INVEST.
CATION COMES.

OLYMPIA, Feb. S.-The house
yesterday afternoon passed the SEN
ate resolution, of yesterday calling for
rigorous investigation of the office
of Land Commissioner Ross. The
house wants report by March /, and
if the investigation committee has not
completed it's work by that time the
house wants to hear what has been
accomplished and then it desires that
this legislature say whether or not the
investigation shall proceed. With these
changes inserted the resolution was
sent back to the senate and will come
up tomorrow morning.
Ross realizes an investigation means
political disaster to him and that he
will have to make his stand in the
house. The friends of Ross in the
lower body want to sidetrack the in
vestigation by overlooking the COM
mittee with other duties.
Speaker Falconer has been friend
to Ross but Falconer is ambitious and
he will not permit anything to go
through that savors of whitewash-
While the speaker has made no sign
it is generally accepted tonight that
Reid of Pierce will be one member OF
the house investigating committee.

HlNDOOS JOLLIED A SNAKE
And II Was Propitiated and the SICK
Were Healed.

VvSTS GISatSos
LONDON, Feb. S.-A remarkable in
stance of native superstition recently
| occurred in Burma, India. Near
Monument, where there is a large lake,
the villagers have been greatly alarmed
at an outbreak of fever. One morning.
as some of them were going to their
work, they saw the trail of an unusual
ly large snake.
They followed the trail and eventu-
ally found themselves in front of a
certain house, on the roof of which
the reptile lay coiled. They attacked
the snake and broke it's back. 1t was
an unusually large snake it's body
being at least a foot in circumference.
Then, it is said, something wonderful
happened The calm waters of the
reason. to bubble up and turn green,
blue, red and yellow. The whole vii

and trembling. At length one of the
onlookers became possessed by spirit
and told the villagers that they had

was sent to destroy the cause of the
| fever.
The good people were promptly con-
WINGED that the snake was of supernat-
ural origin and that by killing it they
had alienated the good will of the spir-
| it's. Tenderly and lovingly they took
up the reptile and placed it in the
jungle. Every house performed a pro-
pitiatory ceremony and the smoke
moved away. Then the agitated waters
became calm and assumed their usual
color, the patients suffering from fever
became well and the outbreak was
| stayed.

HOW CAMPBELL GOT FAT POSITION

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. S.
Politicians in Washington are interest
ed in a story coming from Ohio that
illustrates how party leaders who fight
each other bitterly in political cam
paigns are moved to do a good turn
for their opponents, and that the in
fluence of woman in American politics
has not yet ceased to be an important
factor. Former Governor Campbell of
Ohio, who has spent the past II years
in New York city. was recently induced
to return to his home in the Third
congressional district and make the
race for congress. All the democratic
factions, who had been fighting each
other for years, rallied around him and
the chances of Mr. Campbell's election
were bright. Luck, which seems to
have fOrsaken him in recent years,
continued to play him false, and he
was defeated.
A short time ago Governor Camp
bell was appointed by Governor Harris.

Buckeye state, as the democratic men,

of $4,000 a year. And this is how it

Columbus, the Ohio capital. Mr.. Tay-

L. Taylor, who represents the Column

incumbenCy of the gubernatorial Of
flee by Former Governor Herrick, who
preceded the late democratic Governor
Pattison, warm friendship sprang up
between the Taylors and Governor
Herrick. The women of the Taylor
families and Mrs. Herrick and Mrs
Campbell were close friends. Mean
while Representative Taylor had an
interview with Senator Foraker. Gov
ernor Harris soon learned that the ap-
pointment of Governor Campbell would
not be at all Experimentation the con-

again today when he went to Fair

road committee heard tonight the rep

same information from Former Gov
ernor Herrick.
There are but three former governors
of Ohio living-Senator Foraker, Mr..
Herrick and Mr.. Campbell, and as two
requested the appointment of the third
his selection came as a matter of
course. The democrats throughout the
state had been quarrelling over this
prospective plum without reaching an
agreement and the settlement of the
problem by Governor Harris brought
CONSERVATION among them. To this
day many democrats OF the state know
nothing as to what moved Governor
Harris to make this choice. During
the political career of Governor Camp
bell, Mrs. Campbell was credited with
being one of his shrewdest advisers,
and it would look as if her daughter
had inherited an insight into the meth
DDS of how to do things political.
Governor Campbell was very popular
when a member of the house and is
kindly remembered by many of his
former associates in the house. who
having more stable districts have been
able to hold on to their places in Wash
ington. 1t was pleasure to Senator
Foraker to assist in getting a berth
for his old opponent. for those familiar
with Ohio polite will recall the fact
that while Foraker as a candidate for
governor defeated Campbell, it was
Campbell who finally endorsed Fora
ker and retired him for the guberna-
torial office, Foraker yielding to the
opportunities Of unwise friends to be-
come a candidate for a third term

QUAKE OPENS GREAT GORGE.

probable that the quake was the one
recorded on the seismographs in vari-
Gus parts of the world According to
the instrument at Samoa it lasted for
several minutes and was said to be the
heaviest shock ever recorded 1t was
figured that it took place somewhere
in the south seas, but as no report
came from any civilized islands, it was
believed that it took place at sea.
