WESLEY |. JONES ANNOUNCES
CANDIDACY FOR u, S. SENATOR
THE YAKIMA STATESMAN HAS SERVED THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE
IN THE LOWER HOUSE FOR Ten YEARS.

Congressman Wesley L. Jones has
formally announced his candidacy for
United States Senator, to succeed
Levi Ankeny, of Walla Walla. The
announcement is made in a letter to a
committee who were appointed to urge
upon Mr.. Jones the wishes of his
friends and neighbors throughout the
state for him to become a candidate
for Senator.
The movement to induce Jones to
enter the senatorial race was started
several months ago. He has delayed
giving a formal answer until he had
an opportunity to travel over the state
and sound the sentiment of the people
upon the matter. His neighbors ex-
press the belief that his election is a
foregone conclusion. After his return
from a trip to Spokane, Seattle,
Tacoma and other points on the west
side of the state, part . of the time
being in company with Senator
Ankeny. His formal announcement
is as follows:
North Yakima, Wash, July Is,
1907. To Messrs. Steinweg, Robert
son, Lesh, Barge and Sinclair, COM
mittee. Gentlemen: You have pre-
sented to me resolution adopted at a
meeting of my friends and neighbors
asking me to become candidate for
the office of United States Senator.
This in itself is great honor and no
words of mine can express my gratitude
for the confidence and good will
thus manifested by my home friends
and neighbors. The people of Yakima
County and of this state have been
good to me, far beyond my deserts,
and the expressions of friendship and
offers of support which have received
unsolicited from all parts of the state
have touched me more than | can say.
You and they have five times elected

shall accede to your request and
will not be a candidate for reelection
to the House of Representatives. When
the proper time comes I shall file a
declaration of candidacy for the nomi-
nation for United States Senator by
the Republican party under the direct
primary law passed by the last

nations for Senator are made directly
by the people and not by caucus or
the members of the legislature. No
candidate for the legislature will
hesitate to pledge himself to vote for
the choice of his party as expressed at
such primary and all of them will
cheerfully and promptly carry out such
manifest will. l shall gladly abide
by the result of such primary elect
ion. The peoples choice shall be my
choice.

servant in the house ofRepresentatives.
My record is an open book to the
people of the state. Upon it, and il
alone, shall rely for their support.

county and the people of the entire
state, for their unselfsh and high
esteem, | am, most respectfully
yours,

CITY IS BUILT
OVER CAVfRNS,
W. l.. Jones.

Minneapolis, Minnesota, is said to
be built over series of natural sub
terranean streams and lakes which
have formed great caverns in the
sandstone under the business portion
of the city. The fact has been known
by the city engineering department
for six years and was not made public
until the final work of putting in
concrete pillars for the safety of the
big office building was completed.
Andrew Rinker, city engineer, said
that there had never existed any real
danger that the caverns which are
from 80 to $50 feet below the surface
of the streets, would have given way.
But the city council has, under
pledges of secrecy, appropriated
money for the completion of network
of concrete supports which insure the
safety of the city for all time to come.
The caverns are of considerable
extent the largest being a half acre
in extent, and they range from to %
feet in height. Beautifully hewn into
sandstone by the action of countless
ages of percolating waters. the caverns
are said to presen wonderful pic
ture.
At one place in he network of
caverns spring of clear water forms
stream which tumbles over a beauti-
full underground waterfall fully 20 feet
in height. The floor of one of the
large caverns is as smooth as ball

The caverns were discovered by
workmen excavating for a branch sewer

mans pick bit ino the soft sandstone
and went through into the air. Diff
Guilty was experienced at first because
of foul air, but when that was pumped
out the workmen were able to enter
the caverds and discover their vast
extent.

DRINK AND THE
UNWRITTEN LAW.

The unwritten law seems always to
be hand in hand with drink. In the
Thaw case all the participants were
habitually full of liquor. In the
Loving case, lately on trial inVirginia,
father, daughter and the murdered man
all were users of whiskey. Whiskey
caused the crime against the girl, if
crime there was, and whiskey brought
on the murder.
Miss Loving testified that she had
had two drinks with Estes, the young
man who was killed by her father.
Then, she alleges, she took a third,
and thinks it must have been drug
ged," for everything seemed to go
around and after while she lost
consciousness. The next morning,
however, she chatted unconcernedly
with friends, had breakfast with them
and never said word about the
horrible fate she claims had befallen
her until she was questioned by her
father.
1t was brought out in the trial that
Judge Loving is habitual drunkard,
accustomed to going on long and
violent sprees. He does not appear to
have been drunk at the time of the
killing, although the probability is
that he was under the influence of
liquor; but, at any rate, physicians
testified that indulgence such as he
is used to AFFECT the mind and it is
certain that drink had a remote if
not an immediate effect upon him in
producing the mood that led to the
crime.
Drink is the cause of most of the
things that compel an appeal to the
unwritten law. If Miss Loving
had not taken three drinks of whiskey
she would not have been assaulted.
and probably if her father had been a
man always in possession of his senses
he would not now be on trial for his
life. If Estes had not been a drinking
man and had not offered drink to Miss
Loving, he would be alive today.
All three were victims of whiskey,
and therefore there does not seem to
be any reason why decent people should
concern themselves greatly about the
woe that has resulted. If woman
drinks she must expect o get into
trouble. If man drinks he must
pay the penalty Washtucna Enter
prise.

to literally tear down all the Alps
