WOULD AVOID
COAL FAMINE
BAKER CITY AND IA GRANDE OR.
DERING TRAIN LOADS OF
ANTHRACITE.

If Baker City's plan for avoiding the
fuel famine comes through with the
expected results it might pay the cit
liens of Walla Walla to get busy and
try the same method.
1t seems that E. j. Martin, who is
interested in anthracite mines in the
east was in La Grande and heard of
the dread of the fuel famine in Ba-
ker City. He Immediately wrote N.
c. Haskell, secretary of the business
mems association and made him the
proposition to furnish anthracite coal
of excellent quality at a cost of $3.50
delivered in the consumers coal bin.
La Grande has ordered a train ioao.
Baker City will order more than that
10000 tons at this figure and figures
that Walla Walla could get in on the
proposition.
The price seems high but when it
is considered that one ton of anthra-
cite coal will go as far as two of the
soft bituminOus western coal, it will
be seen that it is an economical plan.
Nothing has been heard officially of
the proposition in this city. If a can
vass is being made of the towns IN
this region, Walla Walla has been, rs
yet, left out.
Secretary Moore said this afternoon
in referring to the matter:
1T might be all right but it seems
to me the price is high even for an
thracite The Commercial club has
had no communication in regard to the
matter and 1 cannot say what the club
would do in event of the proposition
being placed before Them

Mary of the tobacconists at Tacoma

cigarette law, which takes effect Sep
TENDER 1, is unconstitutional. Some of
them are reported to be preparing to
defy it's provisions by laying in a
large supply of cigarettes before the
date of the law going into effect, the
measure preventing the shipping of the
contraband product into the city as

FAVOR BRINGING WATER
FROM THE BEAVER CREEK

1t has developed that many citizens
who voted against the 100000 bond
issue at Mondays election are in IA
vor of the city securing new water
supply. but are not in favor OF bring
ing Cottonwood Creek forty miles
over a mountainous country, believing
the expense of the plant would be
nearly double the bond issue before
it was completed.
Two years ago all the water rights
on Beaver Creek were purchased by
Pueblo parties, with view of taking
the water to Pueblo. The purchase
comprised an outlay of $S5,000, but
the scheme fell through and the water
rights, representing about fifteen cubic
feet per second, are now on the mar
ket.
c. C. Dawson, representing Canon
City parties, has secured an option ON
all these rights, and the matter will
no doubt assume definite shape 30

voted on at the city election in April

line can be laid in soil nearly the

coLoRED VOTE AND ROOSEVELT.

a NE Of the latest phases Of the movement
~ against President Roosevelt by those Re
publicans who do not wish to see a man favorable
TO his policies nominated as his successor, is loud
and frequent announcement that the negro vote,
because OF the Brownsville affair, viii be against
him.
After the recent election in Baltimore it was
asserted by newspaper, unfriendly to the Presi-
dent, that the Democrats won the Baltimore cleo
tion because the negroes in the Maryland city
would not support the Republican ticket as they
resented the conduct Of the President But one
of the Baltimore papers quickly showed the folly
of such contention by proving that the vote in
the heavy negro wards was larger than usual aad
the majority was greater
1t is absurd to imagine that there will be any
on OF colored Republicans because of the
President and this latest scare shows the dire
straits OF the opponents Of Roosevelt in their en-
deavor to discredit him.
