The pleasant weather Of the past
few days has caused the local poll
ticians To swarm, and political am
bitions ate swelling high in their
bosoms, Little knots OF men are
daily seen gathered together upon
our streets, and besides thanking
God that they are permitted To live
in Oregon, they talk politics. Some
want To be oouncilmen and say SO,
others want To be but are too mod
est TO admit it, and hope that their
friends will take up the matter for
them. Election time is drawing
nigh, and the little knots of men
will continue TO gather and more
will be added until the political pot
is boiled to finish.

The Thaw murder case now ON
trial in New York city is attracting
the attention of the entire nation.
From the evidence thus far adduced
White had no right to live. His
sole aim apparently was to ruin aud
debauch young girls. His wealth
was used To lure and attract young
womanhood to degradation. lie
preyed on virtue and no woman
was safe in his presence. A pretty
face and a pleasing figure caused
him To use all means in his power
to despoil and soil the lite and rep
ntation OF its poSsessor. Such a
vile monster and moral degenerate
surely was not tit to live. That
Harry Thaw was the logical per
son TO end his existence is conclu-
sion that has many supporters. On
the other hand the life of Thaw has
been far from clean. A spoiled,
pampered pet of a too indulgent
mother, his moral life was far from
being pure. His one redeeming
feature was the way in which he
stood by and protected the young
woman whose soiled life he was
fully cognizant of. Murder in cold
blood is not right, of course, but
until the law can be amended in
such way as to fitting punish vile
reptiles like White such occurrences
will occur from time to time. The
outcome of the trial will be watched
with interest.

{. ". Wagner, Columbia and Wa||a
Wd||a Traction, Reports Progress
LAND GRANTS INFLUENCE ADVANCING
WITH COMPLETION OF ROAD THIS
CITY WOULD HAVE CHEAP
RATES TO THE SEA.

Right of-way agent, E. w. Wagner,
in the employ of the Columbia and
Walla Walla Traction company, reports
that the purchase of right-of-way for
his company is progressing satisfac-
tOrily, Notwithstanding the fact that
some of the farmers feel indispOsed to
grant the necessary ground for the
building of the line.
While the reorganizing of the electric
company is in it's infancy, Mr.. Wagner
says that the proposition can be fl
nanced when it is shown that the nee
essary right Of-way can be secured.
The proposed route is through a Sec
ton of country which is sparsely set
tied at present. Two steam roads al
ready traverse the district and it might
be several years before the road would
be placed upon a paying business. The
building of the line would greatly in
crease the population of the country
through which it is proposed to build.
With the building Of the Walla Wal
la and Columbia, Walla Walla would
nave cheap transportation to the sea
in conjunction with the open river. The
active campaign which is being carried
on by Walla Wallans for the open river
is having a tendency to urge the build
ing of an electric line to the river.

HID LIFE'S SECRETS
UNTIL NEAR DEATH

NEGAUNEE, Mich, Jan. 3.-Not un-
til convinced that he was on his death
bed could any inkling of the where
abouts of his family or his former
place of residence be obtained from
aged Duncan McFadden, despite that
he had lived in this part of the state
for over two decades.
Ill for some weeks, McFadden was
brought into the city for hospital
treatment, but only when the danger
of his condition was made plain to
him would he divulge the fact that his
old home was in Bad Axe, Mich. Then
a letter brought his son. who remain
ed in attendance on his father the last
two weeks of his illness, and who,
when the old man died, took the re-
mains back with him for burial.
McFadden was 76 years of age. He
was most interesting story teller,
and had a fund of "reminiscences to
draw from, the result of life of more
than 40 years as salt water sailor, in
which capacity he visited distant
lands in all the seas. His relatives
had long ago lost all track of him.

MADE GRAVE TOO SMALL
Pennsylvania Sexton Makes Mistak.
When Working for Himself.

LEBANON,P Pa, Jan. 3.-Although the
late Benjamin Bleistein of this city
dug an almost countless number of
graves during the many years in which
he followed the business here. he new
err made a more serious blunder than
in preparing his own.
His body was inferred recently in a
grave made by his own hands, accord
ing to his own ideas, on the Bleistein
plot in the Moravian cemetery, Hebron.
Bleistein completed his grave some
months ago.
He selected a narrow strip of ground
between two other occupied graves on
the plot and lined it out in cement.
When the undertaken took measure
ments Of the corpse and grave he was
confronted with Bleistein's error. The
measurements disclosed the grave to
be scarcely large enough to permit Of
the body being lowered into it.
Therefore, the coffin had to be spe-
cially made and the customary rough
box dispensed with. Bleistein had TAX
en- true measurement of his own body
in digging the grave, allowing nothing
for coffin or rough box.

ty on the grain growing areas of Can

More than a quarter of century

But even if this should not turn out

quarter of a century. The bleak coasts
of the bay are known to contain in
calculable stores of minerals, including
vast iron and copper deposits, and
coal suitable for smelling purposes.

TO BE HUNTED WITH HOUNDS

Game Warden Of Michigan Plans sys.
tematic Chase Of Wolf Packs.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Jan. 8.
Charles H. Champman, state game
warden, has determined to hunt the
wolves Systematically with Siberian
wolf hounds. He has taken the matter
up with the Russian minister at Wash
ington, with view to importing dogs
if they cannot be procured in this
country. The campaign for the de-
struction of the wolves will be started
as soon as possible.
Thousands of wolves are roaming
the country south of Lake Superior
and hundreds of sheep have been kill
led by them in year. Deer are
slaughtered by thousands annually by
the pests, although bounties Of $25 to
$40 a head are freely offered.
According to an investigation just
closed by the game warden's depart
ment, Chicago annually consumes
thousands of tons of wild game killed
and shipped from this state in direct
violation of the law. Positive evil
dence has been secured by the depart
ment and detectives are watching the
establishment of a South Water street
wholesale dealer in poultry, veal and
egs to secure the names of persons
supplying him with meats.
In the past two years half a dozen
violators have been arrested and pun
ishedA But up to the present it has
not been known who the dealers were
who were buying the game. Now the
secret has been learned.
