Dear Mr.. Wood: We are glad to
know from your letter Of April 22d
that you will be represented at our
coming meeting. We are arranging to
welcome Mr.. Castle.
In this connection, while it has moth

you will give us the benefit OF your
good influence in bringing about
large attendance of Hawaiian citizens
at the meeting of the conference Of
Friends of the Indian and other De-
pendent Peoples to be held here next
October, as it IS especially at this lat
ter conference that Hawaiian affairs
are discussed.
I thank you for your kind wish that
you might see the writer in Hawaii
and / can assure you that there are
few places, judging from what I have
heard, I would rather visit.
Very sincerely yours,

LABOR
DAY OUTLOOK

Extensive preparations are being
made by a number of the local
unions for Labor day. For several
years past more or less friction OBJ
tanned among the unions, with the
result that full parade Of all the
unions in the city could not be Sc
cured. The fraternal feeling has
improved greatly during the last
year and big turnout is expected.
Everything is moving along har-
moniously and the unions are pre-
pairing to make a better showing
than for years past.
The Carpenters union, however,
will not participate with the Spo-
kane unions in the exercises, hav-
ing accepted an invitation to go to
one Of the Idaho towns this year.
1t is stated that the union accept
ed the invitation to spend the day
out of the city nearly year ago,
and the carpenters, numbering
about 900 men, will be missed in
the parade.
A great deal of interest centers
around the tug-of-war between local
unions on Labor day. The brew
cry workers have succeeded in the
past in defeating all corners, and
feel confident that they will carry
off the honors again this year. Sew
eral unions are in training for the
purpose Of trailing the naughty col
ors Of the brewery workes in the
dust of Mantle park. The brewers
are not worrying, however.

CHIEF RICE BLUFFED

James J. Brady, king Of the
press agents, is in Spokane today
looking after publicity matters for
the Ringing circus, which shows in
Spokane Aug. II. Brady has rep
resented Ringlings for the past 10
years and probably has wider ac-
quaintance among newspapermen
than any other man in the country.
His greatest surprise on reaching
Spokane was to find Rem Rice chief
of police. Rice promptly threaten
ed to pinch him, but Brady saved
himself by threatening to reach
back into the times when Rice was
a reporter and dragging therefrom
an exposure that would make Tom
Lawson sick.
The big show is announced this
year as the best the Ringlings are
able to produce, and they have be-
come the whole thing in the circus
world.

Mayor Moore recently made ex.
elusive announcement in The Press
that he would not sign repeal and
gave as his reason that he would
lose the respect Of his friends and
himself IL he did so.
Eventually the mayor, board Of
public works and a committee Of
councilmen got together without
any especial order from the coun-
Gil except to act as a bridge com.
mittee, and decided to send the
mayor and Commissioner Roy to

bridge plans to the Wallace-Coatea
Engineering Co., and to select a su.
perintendent for local bridge build.

could not have been attended to by
correspondence appears. nor why
there is excuse for further triflina

ELIMINATED"
Trip to Chicago Regarded az Scheme to Rail-
road Pool Ordinance Repeal.

A travesty on municipal govern
ment is evidently about to be con-
summated by the city council with
regard to the Interstate Fair asso-
citation proposition to repeal the
anti-poolroom ordinance so that
gambling on horse races will be
carried on this fall at the track. 1t
Is now generally understood that
Mayor Moore has been sent away
purposely on that Chicago trip to
remove all obstacles in the way of
passing the repeal Enough coun-
cilmen have been pledged to secure
its passage.
If this is the case, the city is
about to witness a complete turn
of front on the part of the admins
tration. Some weeks ago it passed
an ordinance prohibiting poolrooms.
This was done only after a clause
excepting the Interstate fair had
been stricken out. Since then Rob-
ert H. Cosgrove, manager, has led
a campaign among business men
and other to secure the repeal.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9-There
Is great discomfort among the op

strike Is momentarily expected.
They claim the company has not
lived up to it's agreement. This,
with the trouble in Los Angeles,
will undoubtedly result in a walk
out.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Fifteen op.
orators now comprise the Western
Union entire working force here.
Substations all over Chicago and
suburbs are closed and operators
are being brought here to the main
office.
Responding to hurry call from
company officials, who declare they
discovered a plot to blow up the
switchboards, 80 policemen were
sent to the main office and the
Western Union building is now a
miniature fortress.
The company claims to have
enough chief operators and superin-
tendents to handle the business.
Five old operators remained at
their keys all night. Members of
the Order OF Railway photographers
are pulling out Western Union
plugs as fast as they hear Of the
strike.
A mass meeting of the strikers
was held this morning. A hundred
policemen surrounded the building,
watching the 1900 strikers gather
ing. The strikers we're driven from
the streets to prevent rioting. Fifty
Union pickets are trying to induce
operators not to work.

riman had figured on catching the
new road builders at this strategic
point and holding them up.
That is exactly what happened.
There was enough show of legality
in the old claim which Hartman
had revived to support an injunc-
ton proceeding and to keep law
case alive for an indefinite length
of time. Meantime the forces of
Hartman on the ground guarded
the right of way through the can
yop and refused to permit further
construction.
Then came the inevitable COM
promise. Hartman demanded half
the swag. He would permit the
Clark road to proceed through the
canyon and would even lend it a
section of his Southern Pacific to
connect up with Los Angeles, but
only on written agreement that his
road should have an equal share
with the Clark people. of all traffic
carried on the new road. An agree
ment backed by an issue of securi-
ties placed In trust with the Farm
ers Loan and Trust Co., New York,
made the joint ownership hard and
fast. So long as this contract held
there was no danger of any compe-
tition from the new Los Angeles
Salt Lake railroad.
That was where Hartman sup
pressed competition.
Before finally determining what
action to take in this matter Atty.
Gen. Bonaparte will consult with
President Roosevelt, who is anxious
that Hartman be given the full
benefit of the law.

the right of way up to this point,
and it was soon apparent that Har-
in the commissions account of
Harriman's holdup of the Clark
road. 1t appears that there is only
one feasible route for a road run
ming from Salt Lake to Los Angeles.
and at one point this route is
through a narrow canyon or pass
which is wide enough for only one
railroad right of way. The party
controlling this canyon commands
the situation.
1t appears that Clark, who had
started his road in 1902, and sue
ceeded in building 324 miles Of his
line from Salt Lake to Caliente,
New, came to that part of his road
running through this narrow gorge,
which is known as the Meadow Val
ley Wash. This canyon is about
100 miles in length, deep and with
rocky walls on either side. The
Clark engineers were at work on
the grade and track laying when
they were suddenly held up by an
injunction.
1t seems that many years before
the Oregon Short Line. which is
one of Harriman's subsidiary cor
porations, had been granted a right
of way through this canyon and had
abandoned it. The Clark people
had bought up the old tax deeds
and whatever remained of the aban-
doned rights of the Oregon Short
Line and supposed that they had
good title to their right of way
through the canyon. The Hartman
interests had not questioned their
tax deed titles so far as II affected

EVERYBODY WALKS
BUT JOHNSON NOW

Health inspectors are unable to
understand the reason for a dis
elimination put in effect by the
Washington Water Power Co.
When the old pass books were used
up, they were not renewed to any
one but Plumbing Inspector John
ston. The lack of freetransporta-
ton to the inspector retards the
work considerably as the men walk
almost all the time now, where be-
fore they would ride. The reason
is suspected that the Washington
Water Power Co. has building or
2 in course of erection which will
need plumbing inspection presently.
