Jack Schwindler Kobbed by Japs.

Thirty seven Japanese laborcrs
were discharged from the North
Coast construction camp, below Ki-
ona, Saturday night and as they had
come here a day or two before with
the expectation of working here all
winter, they became angry and held
up Sub-Contractor Jack Schwindler
Sunday morning when he came
to town for load of supplies. They
surrounded his wagon, catching hold
of the horses brides, and might
have pulled him out had not the
teamster driving another wagon
came to his rescue. Mr.. Schwindler
threatened to shoot if they molested
him further, at the same time put
ting his hand in his pocket, and the
crowd fell back, but as the wagon
started ION one Jap threw a rock
which struck the contractor in the
back. Mr.. Schwindlcr was not
armed, having only a bottle in his
pocket. The workmen, under Case
4 Eschbach, now employed at Gran
ger, are to be sent down to KiOna
within a week or two, and work in
this locality will be pushed. Sur
vcyOrs are now at work on tho
Spokane branch of the road, starting

Washington LETTER.

throughout official Washington
the greatest qualification is felt over
the result OF Secretary Taft's visit in
emma and from the cables received
from there the people in that far off
land are equally enthusiastic. Ev-
identity the Chinese consider the
United States to be the only power
not wanting to annex part of the
territory of China and as being dis
lnterestedly concerned in China 9
welfare, and it is regarded as as
sured that the utterances of Mr.. Taft
will give American business men in
China renewed confidence to push
the lines of trades in which the In
tied States is interested.
There seems to be an organized eff
ort to create the impression that
there Is friction between Admiral
Evans and the Secretary of the Ma
Wy and the Staff officers in Washing
ton. Nothing could be further from
the truth. The utmost harmony
prevails between Admiral Evans
and his superior afficers and the
Secretary whose entire respect and
confidence the Commander of the
Atlantic fleet enjoys. Admiral
Brownson, Chief of Navigation, has
more than once recently taken occa-
sion to give unequivocal expression
to the high respect and esteem in
which Admiral Evans is held and to
the qualification of the department
that the Admiral is available to COM
mand the Atlantic fleet on the not
able forthcoming Pacific cruise.
The department is at loss to un-
derstand who can be circulating
these fallacious reports, put forth
apparently for the sole purpose of
making trouble, or what object there
can be in seeking to injure Fight
ing Bob Evans.
Mr.. Wilbur F. Wakeman, Secre-
tary of the American Protective Tar
iff League, in an interview with
various Washington correspondents,
recently expressed amazement over
the extent of the tariff revision SEN
timent which he has found in the
Middle West and admitted that re-
ports from all parts of the country
to the organization he represents in
dicate a general tariff revision sent
iment; but he hastens to add that is
his conviction that all such senti-
ment will have dissipated before
time for the elections. It is the
opinion of politicians in Washington
that the tariff revision sentiment will
prevail and that Mr.. Wakman places
himself in a rather ridiculous light
when he undertakes to pregnosticate
it's evaporation before the elections
throughout the country.
