Many Aspirants for The Job al
The Courthouse
FRANK WYNANs IS TO Be OPPOSED
BUT MAN WHO MADE FLOWER
GARDEN OF COUNTY
SQUARE LEADS.

Will Frank Wynans succeed him
self as janitor of the Walla Walla
county courthouse?
This is the question which will not
be decided until the new commission
ers hold their first meeting after the
middle of the month.
Wynans is an applicant for the po-
sition and it is the general opinion
that he will be reappointed, but there
are some others who would like to
make $S5 per and house rent, and it is
rumored the energetic Wynans will
not have walkOver.
John Hodges is avOwedly candi-
date for the Office, and George Max
field is said to have applied for the
furnace and outdoor part of the job.
According to courthouse gossip there
are two or three other candidates,
who are heeping their names secret,
to be sprung as dark horses at the
last moment
the best janitor who has ever cropped
county lawns and swept county floors,
but IL is whispered he will have some
opposition from the sheriffs Office, al
though it is hardly thought this will
extend to the extent of support OF
Hodges in preference. Hodges
chances of appointment are regarded
as exceedingly small
The Berry incident of last fall,
which resulted in the present board
of county commissioners cutting SO
off the salary of the jailer and adding
it to that of Wynans, because Berry
would not keep the Jail furnace full
of coal, is said to be still ranklinig and
may result in a new janitor.
How far this influence will reach is
a problem 1t is said if Struthers will
stand by Wynans he is as good as re-
appointed, because Joe Harper, one OF
the new commissioners, is neighbor
and close friend. Some think Struth-
ers will decline to support the man
who was appointed as democrat and
now avows himself a republican or
the darkest kind, and this is the other
big if in the question.
Struthers was supporter of Wy
mans in the Berry change and would
probably not be particularly inclined

LODGE OFFICERS HUNT FOR MAN
Fred Appleton Is Left a Fortune BY
Death of Rich Uncle.

ST. PETER, Mimi, Jan. 2-An in
heritace of $4,000 awaits Fred Ap-
uleton, until few months ago a resi-
dent of Sleepy. Eye. It comes to him
through the death of wealthy uncle
in Sweden and will be paid over to
him as soon as he appears and proves
his title.
All of last summer Appleton was
employed by Hanson & Arveson of
Sleepy Eye, but left short time ago
and no word of him has since been
received. He was a member of the
Woodman lodge, and its officers have
received word from the Swedish au-
thorities of the legacy left him. They
will make an effort to find and apprise
him of his good fortune.

Fifteen HUNDRED MEN OUT
fornia, Close Down Because Of
Strike for Eight Hours.

GRASS VALLEY, Cal. Jan. a.
Every mine in this district was closed
down today. Fifteen hundred men are
idle.
The conditions are peaceable al
though hundreds of strikers are in
the streets discussing the various
phases of the troubles.
A majority of the mine managers
favor an S-hour day but want a three
years agreement that the miners will
make no more trouble. They say they
fear another strike for higher wages If
the eight hours rule is granted with
out the agreement.
The miners say the Western Fedora

make such an agreement.

Commercial Club Considers
New Bill This Afternoon
BIG MEETING IN WEMATCAEE
Delegation From Walla WalIa
Will Attend--What Others
Are Doing

Examination of the bill for an ap-
preparation now being prepared and
the question of the. appointment Of
a special delegate from Walla Walla to
assist Professor Lyman at the big rail-
ly to be held next Monday in Wenat-
chez in which Chelan, Douglas, Oko-
nagan and Franklin counties will be
represented; are the subjects being
discussed this afternoon at a meeting
of the promotion committee of the
Walla Walla Commercial club.
The meeting at Wenatchee will be an
important one in the opinion of DR..
n. G. BlalOck, chairman of the commit
tee, because the representatives Of
these counties will be at that time
on their way to Olympia. 1t is also
probable that the Spokane county leg
islative delegation will be there on
that date to take part in the monster
open river meeting and it is desired
to do everything possible to impress
them with the Importance of the bill
for a state appropriation to assist the
work.
AS the next regular meeting of the
J club is not until Tuesday it will be
necessary to call a special meeting of
the board of directors to select a rep
resentative to go to Wenatchee if this
plan meets with favor.
Bill Made in WaiIa WaIIa.
The bill to be introduced is being
prepared by local attorneys and will
be completed in a day or two
The promotion committee is in daily
communication with a similar COM
mittee of the Portland chamber of
commerce and with committee of the
Open River Transportation company.
The most encouraging reports are
received especially from Idaho. 1t is
said that the legislators of the eastern
part of that state will present a bill
at the coming meeting of their state
Legislature appropriating money from
the Idaho treasury towards the i'm
provement of Snake river.
There is no provision in the Idaho
constitution forbidding this as is the
case in this state and the broad mind
ed people of the mining state are
alive to the advantages of water out
let.
Are Working Hard.

Our committee is thoroughly alive
to the work they are in and we are
not leaving a stone unturned to pro-
mote the success of the open river
project in every way. We are work.
