The ruling of Hon. C. L. Lo-

ocratic Executive Committee,
that prison trustees are to be
voted on by districts comports
with the opinion of the best law
yers of the state. They say that
while the law is not as clear as it
might be that theressis no doubt
as to the intention of the legisla-
ture to have the trustees elected
by districts instead of allof them

AUDITOR FISHER
DENIES REPORT

Referring to statements in the after
noon papers that Governor Carter had
advised Judge Frear, as his successor,
to make a clean sweep of all depart
ment heads, and particularly to the as
sertion that among the heads Of de-
partments there is expressed much
indignation at this action on Carriers
part, which they denominate as I'M
grateful and treacherous," Auditor j.
H. Fisher said wednesday evening:
For myself never heard the faint
est rumor of such a thing. never sus-
pected any such action or even dispo-
sition on the part of Governor Carter.
Until 1 saw the statements in the
afternoon papers I never joined in or
heard any conversation about Govern
or Carter in that connection. I do not
believe now that he gave such advice
to Judge Frear.
And if the heads of departments
generally We're cognizant of such an
attitude on his part, do you think they
would have made chumps of themselves
by giving him a farewell present?
Il don't care how strong you make
my denial of these statements, speak
ing as one head of department"

ISLAND ALSO
HAS DISAPPEARED

Captain Olsen's failure to find Lay
san Island, after cruising about where
it was supposed to be for nearly two
weeks, is still the talk of the water
front. Tomorrow word may be re-
ceived from Midway, from the U. S. S.
Iroquois, which will throw some light
on the situation. Either the Iroquois,
in the course of reporting briefly by
cable of her trip, will tell the story
of the disappearance of the little guano
isle a thousand miles to the northwest
of this group, or will, by reporting all
well there, sink the story of the sink
ing of the island.
Captain Stinsen of the u. S. A.
transport Logan is taking an interest
in the story of the man who was cap
tain of the schooner Luka when she
sailed for Laysan and failed to locate
the island. The Logan will steer for
Laysan and endearor to settle the
talk.
No one wants to believe that an in
habited island has been swallowed by
the ocean and probably nobody does
believe. at present, that any such event
has occu red But things no more
strange have been happening with
great frequency within the last few
years and the old world is making some
queer moves
Early this month Captain Nelson of
the Norwegian steamer Thyra, now at
Portland, Oregon, reported to the Port
land photographic office that Lindsay
Island, lying between the Ladrones and
the Carolines, has disappeared.
While bound for the Pacific Coast, on
his recent trip, Captain Nelson says
he was in the locality where Lindsay
Island was marked on the maps, for
more than a day, and the island could
not be found.
Captain Nelson also reports that an
other small island in Oriental waters
has gone adrift- At least, he says, he
found it in a different location from
which it is shown in official publica-
tions. On his outward voyage from
Portland, Captain Nelson intends to
make further observations.
There have been many small islands
which have disappeared and many have
been reported as changing positions.
While all hopes and opinions may be
to the contrary, the Luka's report of
the lost Laysan may yet prove to be
correct.
