BuRCH AND BUSH
FORSAKE RU|CK
SENATOR BORAH SAID TO BE AZ
TER SCALP OF IpAHOs
PROSECUTOR.

BOISE, Ida, Oct. 17.-District At
torney N. NJ. Ruick has been left hold
ing the bag in the Idaho land fraud
cases. OF the array of prosecutors
furnished by the department of justice
to represent the government in these
cases. he alone is left. and indica-
tions are that he will be given no fur
ther assistance.
When Special Assistant Attorneys
General Burch and Rush arrived in
Boise they. announced they would re-
main until all of the cases resulting
from the grand jury's work last March
had been disposed of. They said their
assignment covered all the land fraud
cases. AS the Borah case was the first
to be tried, they devoted all their time
to it, but when the governments case
against Senator Borah failed so utter
ly Burch and Rush lost no time in
getting out of Idaho. Before leaving,
however they strongly intimated that
they would not be back.
AS a result of the abandoning OF
their assignment by Burch and Rush,
District Attorney Ruick is placed in
very embarrassing position. Since the
Rorah trial he has been subjected to
the severest kind of criticism. HIS

LOOK IN YOUR POCKETS
FOR THOSE BOGUS NIckELS.

Look out for a counterfeit nickel.
Several of these. most of them rather
worn-lookiCg and of the style lot made
any more by Uncle Sam, have turned
up in Walla Walla lately. On this ac-
count they are particularly hard to
determine from the genuine scent
piece, but there is no sing amout
them whatever. They are made of
lead.
Usually when a few counterfeit nick
els or any other piece of money of the
smaller denomination appears in any
vicinity they are followed by hundreds
or even thousands of others. This is
the way the gang gets its goods on
the market
A person will pick up a nickel or
several of them and put them in his
poke. without once examining them in
any way In getting gold piece or a
silver dollar in change he is usually
more exact and it will sometimes no
tice the coin to see if it is all right. On
this account counterfeit nickels are
easily passed off on the innocent pub
lie stricing so hard to gain real money
of any kind.

made the hit of the evening and was
greeted with applause at every stage OF
the march. Odd Fellows of every
country, imported especially for last
night were on the float and their true
to-life appearance won for them the
approval of the crowds which throng-
ed the streets in dense numbers, ad-
miring the gorgeous pageant of the
uIACaChN SouhtAiSos tAC SOh6A COO "a Ai"-
tions which was brought to Walla
Walla at great cost to the Odd Fef-
lows. The degree team also made u
good showing and did some creditabio
work on the line of march. Its apA
pearance was in strict conformance
with the rest Of the parade.
Arrived at the fair grounds. the ma
tionality wagon took possession of the
country store and disposed Of the
goods at prices to suit themselves. The
bunch made money for the store
keeper however. and he was none the
loser by their visit.
The parade was not reOrganiZed at
the fair grounds, but the members
came home in numbers and at times to-
suit themselves.
By far the best feature of the fair
up to this time. was the parade of the
Odd Fellows last, night. Numbering
their strength by hundreds, they form
ed in parade and marched through the
business section of the city and out to
the fair grounds.
Forming at the Odd Fellows Temple
on Alder street, they marched up Alder
to First, across to Main, down Main to
Fifth, out Fifth to Chase, and thence
to the fair grounds.
The order of march was as follows:
Fourteenth Cavalry band. Canton Wal
la Walla, No. 1 Patriarchs Militant.
Seven hundred Odd Fellows. a bur-
lesque of nations, the degree team.
The Fourteenth cavalry band led the
procession and furnished music for the
march. Their appearance was credit
to the organization they headed and
helped materially the appearance of

Special mention is due the Canton.
About so in number, in full dress uni
form they marched at the head of the
fraternity, creditable showing for
any city. Their drill was something

better show can be made by any fra

WH|TMANS TEAM
. SHOWS UP WELL
MISSIONARIES HAVE BRIGHT
PROSPECTS FOR CHAMPION.
SHIP TEAM.

Everything looks good in the football
line at Whitman these days. While
some of the boys are still lame from
injuries received in the Spokane high
school game. yet there is more than
week until the next game and by that
time all the injuries will be healed as
good as new. say the college boys.
Besides the same strong team which
went into the field the other day
against Spokane, there will be two
more heavy ones in the line. Captain
Dimick, the 100 pound tackle who for
three years has been on the all star
northwest team. will be in the game.
So will Fat" Peringer, the news of
whose early return brings joy TO Mis-
not expected to add his 100 pounds of
beef to the line for some two weeks.
With these additions, Whitman may
be expected to do things to Multno-
nah when they come together on the
local gridiron a week from tomorrow.
From comparative scores. it would
seem that Multnomah has an easy
team, as the L. of W. team which de-
feated her last Saturday, is the same
one which was held to no score and
outclassed by the Seattle high school
a week earlier. However, cOmpara-
tive scores do not always show the true
state of affairs and Multnomah will
have the benefit of two more weeks
than when she met the u. of w. at
which time the team had been barely
organized. Multnomah's team is heavy
and reports say it is getting fast.
Whitman has never carried the hon
OrS from the field in the annual game
with Multnomah, but Whitman never

TOD ALLEN" AND THE
CALL BOY RILED

Stung by the fact that they had
again been beaten to one Of the most
important news items and most in
tensely interesting announcements of
the summer, and rilcd over the fact
that two more of their rotten dope
dreams-that of Mike J. Casey and
of the ''infuriated mOb"-had been
riddIcd, "Tod Allen" the editor of
the Morning Yellow, and his assist
ant, the retired Call Boy, tried as
usual to get awfully funny this morn
ing, as they always do when they
are beaten and can offer no logical
reasons, and also followed their 9th
er characteristic policy of dealing in
contemplate lies.
Realizing that the announcement
of the probable early abolishment of
the Indian school and the probable
establishment here of a great state
educational institution formed a big
item which created a sensation in
the city last night the Morning Yel-
low could not resist referring to it,
but tried to discount its newness by
stating that 1.-The announcement,
while interesting, is not at all new
to the people" This falsehood was
then followed by a more brazen one
to the effect that practically the
same statements" as made by Sena-
tor Teller were given in an inter
view with Supervisor Charles of the
Indian service some time ago. This
is deliberate lie, but then anything
is employed by Tod Allen" and the
Call Boy to cover up the many short
comings of the sheet that gets the
news the morning after.
Get busy, little fellows. Maybe
you can rake up another story about
that $3,000,00O ditch that you built
four months ago Con paper), have
Call Boy held up again, or build that
S75, 900 bungalow you had under
way last winter on Orchard Mesa.

Light COMPANY pnxs In.

The committee appointed to col
lect from the Grand Junction EIec-

amount due the city in accordance
with the provisions of the franchise
granted the company, made its re-
port last night.
The light company submitted a
check to the council for the sum of
SiS9.05, representing 3 per cent of
the company's gross receipts for the
six months beginning January /,
1907, and ending June 80, 1907. The
manager of the company Informed
the council that the gross receipts
for this period were SIC, 6,3O1.17, and
under the provisions of the franchise
the city was entitled to 3 per cent OF
the gross receipts. The check was
accepted and n receipt ordered given.
