BOISE SOLDIERS DESERT.
Good Wages In the Mines Induce Men
to Quit the Army.

It seems there have been an unu-
sual number of deserions from the
troops at the barracks in the past few
weeks and the matter has caused some
comment, says the Boise Statesman.
Asked about it last evening, Captain
Dudley. the commanding officer.
said:
TT 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 I have
lost one or two good men.
'I had some evidence that these
men have been offered some induce
ment to desert, and, in fact, men OF
the troops tell me that they are con-
tinually offered inducements to de.
sert and work in the mines by strang-
ers whom they meet down town.
"Some months ago the same condi.
ton existed and we lost lot of men
but the desertions ceased for a time
Recently, however, 1t has recon-
menced and evidently these people
who are doing the work of tamperinl
with my men have redoubled theil
efforts.

There is still another cut. 23 miles

BRIDGES PREDICAMENT.

Councilman GUY Bridges threw off
the mask of reformer last night in the
council meeting and came out boldly
and solely as the representative of his
firm. O. P. Jaycox e. Co., the one firm
of standing attempting to force the
trading stamp deal in the city. Mr..
Bridges did not represent the tax
payers of the First ward who elected
him. He represented his firm and
STOOD alone against the other members
of the council.
Had Mr.. Bridges occupied his loudly
heralded position of working for the
interests of the city and his constitu-
ents he would not have opposed the Ii
censing of the business houses and
trading stamp concerns. AS duty
bound to the ci+y's interests he would
have proclaimed the need of the city
and advocated the licensing of the con-
Germs as a move which would throw
into the city's Golfers large sum Of
money annually In this manner he
would have lightened the burden Of
the taxpayers and advanced the finan-
cial interests of the city.
But Mr.. Bridges looked through sell
fish glasses. 1t would cost his firm
500 year for a license to do business
with the trading stamp scheme. 1t
noat+ered not the city might be from
$4,000 to $4,000 richer by the passage
of the license ordinance. 1t would be far
better for the city to lose 81 900 than for
the firm of o. P. Jaycox & Co.. to lose
500 year. in addition to the five per
cent graft paid on sales 70 the trad
ing stamp concern. Therefore. Mr..
Bridges, who has always boasted he
would do right in the city council by
his constituents, did right by his firm.
He talked, and threa tened and voted
against the license ordinance.

WAllA WAluA'S NEAT PARK.

The committee on city parks ap-
pointed by the Womans' club should
have the support of the entire town
in their effort to improve Wildwood
park as it is the only spot in the city
where shade exists that can be de-
veloped into grounds for immediate
use. Walla Walla needs a park and
needs it bad. AS Wildwood park is
close to the car line it is easily
reached from all parts of the town and
all classes of people. 1t will not be
long till it will border on one of the
finest residence districts as Lemons
new addition on Boyer and Frances
avenues is being rapidly bought up by
people who intend to build modern
homes.

TuEy NEVER MISS HIM.

In what is intended to be compn-
mentary notice the Pendleton Tribune
has this to say of H. w. Scott, owner
of The Oregonian:
Hon. Harvey w. Scott, edltor-ln-
chief of the Oregonian, passed through
Pendleton yesterday on his way home
from three months tour of Europe.
Mr. Scott is one of the best known ed
itors in the United States, as the ore
CONAN is one of the best known pa
pers. So firm a place has his paper IN
the journalistic field that he can be
absent himself from his work for
months at a time without the fact be
coming known to it's readers. 1t is
common thing for some reader OF the
Oregonian who has been such for thirty
years to remark upon reading some
special editorial that has appealed to
his fancy. that it sounds like Scott,
when it may be a fact that he has not
been in oregon for several months. The
policy of the paper on most questions
is well established and its corps OF
writer's are we'll trained in the way
they should go. The people of Oregon
will be pleased to know of Mr.. Scott
return and that his health is much i'm
nrOyed"

STATE IS FIGHTING TO
SAVE THOUSANDS OF ACRES

OLYMPIA, Wash, May 15.-An eff
fort is being made to deprive the state
of several thousand acres of land Sc
lected by it in what was formerly the
Columbia Indian reservation, the selec-
tons being made for the State Agricul-
tural college. An act of congress of
July 4. 1884, opened a portion Of this
reservation, but to homestead entry
only. The enabling act of February
%, 1889, granted the state 100000
acres for scientific school purposes, and
part of the lands were selected from
the former Columbia reservation.
About so settlers have filed homestead
entries on the state selections and are
attempting to prove up on the land.
The land office officials at Waterville
have decided the contest in favor of
the state and an appeal has now been
taken to the general land office at
Washington. Attorney General Atkin-
son. who is handling the case for the
state, today forwarded his brief to
Washington, and expresses no doubt
that the states contentious will be up
held.

WOMAN SMOOTH DEFENDANT
lottie Bennett Covers Her Tracks
Most Successfully

Lottie Bennett, or Allie Arpey, as
her name is given on the deeds to the
property she owns in the city, was
bound over to behave properly for the
next three months, in the sum of $500,
by Judge Huffman this morning. Fail
ing to get anyone to go her bonds and
the surety company of Dice & jack
son refusing to furnish a bond for her,
she was again placed in her cell in
the brick inn of the county.
Prosecuting Attorney Rupp is maxi
ing every effort to find evidence to
convict her on statutory charge but
so far his Investigations have been
without result. The woman is keen
and has a good knowledge of court
procedure. She asked Officer Wilcox in
court this morning if he could name
any man. other than James Morri-
son, the bartender, who has lived with
her in the past year. The policeman
could not.
She frankly admits she used to be
immoral but says she has been a
model of virtue for more than a year.
Morrison. the man who she admits
has been living with her. has "rolled
his hoop" for other where's and moth
ing can be done without him as a wit
ness.
However, Lottie is safe for the pres
ent and for the next three months. un-
less she digs p $500, which she shows
no inclination 20 do, although she has
property enough on which to secure
the money if she wants to.
