mail and baggage for that town and
points along the line. 1t Will return
as soon as possible.
At the local office they have no in
formation whatever, regarding future
trains from Spokane. The wires are
down between here and that place,
and owing to the general confusion
on the line between Umatilla and
Spokane passenger service from that
direction is very indefinite.

the line may not be open for several
days yet. Last night new trouble oc-
Cured In Vansycle canyon, where the
line was recently repaired. AS a re-
suit the work train was caught be-
tween two breaks, the one at Van
sycle and the slide near Fulton. How
ever, with cooler weather it is hoped
the damage at both points may soon
be repaired.
This forenoon the county court re-
ceived word that 40 feet of the ap-
proach to the bridge across the Una

Victoria, B. c., Feb. THE new
rules issued from the gold commits
sioner's department relating to placer
mining in the Yukon, which have just
been put into force, are bound to

A NEW SUBMARINE DESTROYER
Being Built at Brooklyn Navy Yard,
of New Type.

Brooklyn. N. Y, Feb. T.-Great Sc
crecy Is being observed in connection
with the plans of the new submarine
destroyer invented by Lewis Dixon, a
graduate of Annapolis and former
naval officer, then shipbuilder, and
now an official OF the Carbon Steel
Works, Of Pittsburg, Pa. Patent
rights have already been granted in
several foreign countries. 1t has been
stated, however, that 1t will not be
as large as a first-class submarine
and will he much lighter, for the rea-
son that 1t must be capable of being
hoisted on shipboard by davits.
1t will be built wholly of steel OF

Washington, Feb. THE house ju-
dietary committee today reported that
congress has no jurisdiction or au-
thoritv over the subject of woman
and child labor, when the product is
manufactured, whether the same be
subject to interstate commerce regu-
lations or not. 1t would be just az
logical to argue that congress can
regulate the age, color, sex, dress and
weight os employees, and fix the hours
of labor, as to exercise jurisdiction
over the subject of woman and child
labor.

Accidentally Shot,

Walla Walla, Feb. 7.-R. c. Alex
ander, a young farmer whose home is
in Touchet. was brought to this city
yesterday and taken to st. Marys
hospital where he is being treated for
a wound in the hip inflicted by James
Cummings, a lad of IA. The shooting
was purely accidental and was the re-
suit of thoughtlessness on the part of
the lad, who is a friend of the wound

When last seen Till-i-quats was
making for home in company with
another Indian and they were driving
up the north side of the river. Both
men were drunk, but Till-i-quats''
friend being more sober reached
home in safety. Nothing has been
heard or seen of Till-i-Quats. and 1t
is possible he drowned while trying
to cross the river. Otherwise he prob
ably perishod from exposure through
lying down in the snow while intox-
icated.
Almost every winter one or more
Indians die from the cold through re-
naming out while drunk, That such
fate has befallen Till-i-quats is very
probable.

FIGHT AT WAILULA MAY
RESULT IN RIOTTNG.
Affray Originated by Schoolboys Who
SnowbalIed a Greek Restauranteur
Who Resented Their Impositions-
A Young Man Named Sinclair
Struck the Greek, Who Has Lain
Unconscious for Past "a Hours.

Wallula, Wash, Feb. 7.-(Speciai)
AS the result of fight Following
an alteration here yesterday after
noon at / o'clock, Gust kostovos,
Greek restaurant keeper, sustained
broken skull and has lain unconscious
ever since. 1t is expected by those
who saw the wound he sustained at
the hands of Ed Sinclair, that he will
die, though recovery is possible. After
the fight Kostovas was taken to
Walla Walla hospital for treatment
The latest heard from him he had not
regained sensibility.
Following the assault at least $50
Greek section hands and other Greek
laborers gathered in town making
threats of vengeance against Sinclair,
and it was deemed best for the latter
20 make his getaway, which he at
once did. He is supposed to be in
Walla Walla at this time. The Greeks
remain in full force, though the per-
sonnel of the crowd changes, as many
are continually going to work. while
their places are taken by others ar
irving. All are in a vicious and
threatening frame of mind. The dep
uty sheriff has the situation well in
thand, and so long as Sinclair is not
here there is little danger to anyone
His reappearance would undoubtedly
be the signal for trouble.
The trouble arose over some schoo
boys snowballing Kostovos, who re-
taliated by using threatening Ian
guage and attempting to carry ou
his threats. Sinclair, who is a youni
man of %, interfered in the quarre
and slapped the Greek, who wen
after revolver, which he secured
but old not attempt to use. He did
however, attempt to strike Sinclai
with an iron poker. Sinclair seize'
an iron bar about foot long whicl
he threw at Kcstovos, and whicl
struck the latter on the head. II
went down like a log and has bee,
unconscious ever since, as stated
Kostovos is about the same age a
Sinclair and in the main bears tn
reputation of being peaceable an
lawahiding.

ton movement. 1t was minor feat
ure, but none the less feature, of the
campaign in dozen states and cities.
The Columbus, Ohio Journal in a
strain that sounds so new in the col
umns of daily paper that the reader
almost wonders whence it came and
what were the influences that inspired
it, says:
Let us not damage Our politics or
stain our business by any expectation
that the cause of temperance is going
to languish or that the saloon is 60
ing to dominate the public welfare.
We have been going on that idea too
long, and politicians have been get
ting down into the dirt too often,
thinking that would win.
1t has now; but the days of these
victories are past The days of
truer, higher citizenship are coming,
and it is going to say its say, in be-
half of public service interrupted
by money or whisky. This progress
of moral purpose is as irresistible and
constant as glacier; and it goes
about as cody and quietly, determined
that moral conviction shall hold sway
in public opinion.

A Hostile Note

There is, of course, to be found an
opposing note in the tone of editorial
discussion The Chicago Tribune, for
example, tries to make the result of the
election an argument against the Pro-
hibition party. 1t says
A study of the result of last Tues
days election compared with the,
strength of the Prohibition party as
shown by its vote for President in
1904 brings out impressively the fact
that Prohibition is moral or eco
nomic question and not political one.
In the regions where the Prohibition
sentiment is strongest the Prohibition
vote is insignificant. The sooner
it is recognized that Prohibition is not
a political issue but purely local
question which each community should
decide for itself according to its ideas
of morality or economics or personal
liberty the better, for then the ex-
cellent persons who throw away their
votes at every election by supporting
Prohibition candidates will be free to
help decide other questions which
come before the voters and on which
they ought to have an opinion.

THE TRAFFICS IDEA OF REFORM
[Cartoon from Bar and Buffet

Prohibition sentiment in the South.
Up to within recent years the Prohibi-
tionists have been looked upon by
many people as lot of enthusiastic
cranks, who were striving after the
unattainable and undertaking an inn
possible task Every four years the
Prohibitionists nominate Presidential
candidates, and the nomination has
heretofore been treated as joke, but
every election shows large increase
in the Prohibition vote, and every
year, and almost every day, Prohibi-
ton territory is increased The
question will intensity in interest with
each passing year.
The Chicago Examiner says:
The great gains recently made by
Prohibition constitute a most inter
esting fact There are, of course,
widely differing opinions on this sub
ject. But no one can deny that the
late triumphs of the sentiment have
been remarkable They stand out, in
point of interest, above contempor-
aneous facts, just as the marked in
dustrial movement in the South did
several years ago.
The Buffalo Times, after saying that
many of us when we were young used
% be amused by the elocutionists who
temperance selections and used

THE RECONNAISSANCE
dUHeranc

to find pleasant entertainment at the
Good Templars' Lodge, says:
Very few of us dreamed that
time would ever come when town aft
er town and county after county and
state after state would march with
quiet faces up to it's ballot boxes and
vote for Prohibition And that only
shows how little we knew about the
great throbbing human heart of a
people who have been growing all
these years in wisdom and thought
fulness and independence.
The Woman's National Daily re-
marks:
There is, however, no question as to
the growth of the Prohibition senti-
ment-a sentiment which is not al
ways exhibited by the strength of the
Prohibition party in campaigns and
elections, but which makes itself mani
fest in many ways wherever it is made
state or local issue. That it will
eventually become national issue,
and one with which both the great
parties of today will have to seriously
reckon, is already an established fact.
In 1900 the national Prohibition party
polled only 2OS,OOO votes. Four years
later it made a gain of 5s,53s votes
Not much, to be sure, but, in the face
of these figures look at the Prohibi-
ton map.

and concludes with the significant state
ment:
Though Neal Dow, the author of
the maine law" and the father of
militant Prohibition, has been dead for
many years, his soul is marching on.
The Philadelphia North american,
commenting upon the results of the cleo
ton, at first says that no national issue
was involved in the election, and then
corrects itself, saying:
We have said that no national issue
was involved in the election There
was one, however, which is rapidly
becoming national Neither the friends
nor the enemies of temperance legis-
lation can fail to take account of the
remarkable advance of the Prohibi
