CASSIDY FAVORS 3RD TERM FOR
 B|G STICK
Postmaster Goes on Record for fredericksburg Medley of Sentiment Among Mem berS of G. 0. P.

Judging from the interview given to reporter of the Tucson Star by Postmaster Cassidy when he stopped off at the Old Pueblo on his return from his honeymoon trip, it looks very much as if the usual squabble between the Republican politicians of the Territory is on and will not end until it is finally decided who will lead the delegation to the next national convention, and who will be the national committee man. At the present time 1t looks very much as if the local postmaster backed by Com mitteeman Sturges. would grab the plum.
 The following is an extract from the interview with the postmaster, who is recognized as power in G. O. P. politics throughout the ter ritory, and has always been a staunch supporter of the Big Stick:
 When asked what Republicans were talking about in the states of Cali f0rnia, Oregon and Washington, Gas sidy said that he heard on every hand the tproposition to nominate Roosevelt as the presidential candi- date again in 1908.
 There is a strong sentiment set ting in this direction" said the Co., chise county politician. q heard it on all sides, in the hotels, on the trains and in every public place I at tended where politicians and Repubn- can presidential possibilities were being discussed
 In contrast with the published sen timents of Cassidy are those of May or c. l.. Cayen, who in an interview, several weeks ago, came out strongly in favor of Senator Foraker, basing his support on the ground that the Senator from Ohio had been Arizona's friend in a time of need when Roose- welt and others would have forced her Into an ignomiljous alliance with the Territory of New Mexico. Follow ing the interview of Mayor Caven, who is looked upon as one of the strongest Republicans in the southern part of the territory, interviews with number of local politicians, sup Dorters of Cayen, were published en- dorsing the view of their leader. R. A. Kirk, chairman of the county Re publican Central committee and other members of the insurgent wing of the Republican organization, were quick to follow the lead of the popular leader.
 It is a well known fact that when Sturges visited the district several weeks ago, he completely ignored Kirk, the chairman of the county com

mlttee and spent his entire time with Cassidy. Judging from the other facts it seems that the big boss from Pima county will strongly favor the appointment of Cassidy as national committeeman
 Besides the Cassidy -Sturges com bination, which is ayowedly fer Roosevelt, first. last and all the time, and the contingent under the leader ship of Cayen, who has gone on rec ord as being strongly in favor of For aker, the personal enemy of the pres ident. there is still another wing of the c O. P. in Cochise county, namely, the Rough Rider aggregation under the leadership of George Wilcox, clerk of the district court, who also promises to be a factor in the nation al committeeman race. Wilcox's strength is considered entirely local, however, and not to be compared with that of Cassidy. backed by the north.
 Again there is the Kibbey wing of of the party which seems to be ali wings, and just what the strength of this faction is, is very hard mat ter to determine. but it is known that the governor is not by any means the strongest man in the territory in the favor of Terrible Teddy"
 Finally there is the joint statehood outfit that lined up with the presi- dent under the leadership of Aims worth, who it is alleged, was receiv- ing fee from Bird Coler of New York City, to drag the territory into peonage but were so overwhelmingly defeated that they have been very quiet ever since, until the appoint ment of Lyman Wakefield as register of the land office, which was taken as an indication that the president still remembers those who toted his banner.
 Summing mp the whole situation and taking into confederation the relative strength of all factions it looks very much as if the big fight will develop between the Cassidy Sturges contingent on the one land. and the jointists on the other, ths remaining partisans of the parry be ing forgotten.

cent of the deaths here are among people who recently came here and were marked by death for its own befare they ever landed in the town.
 Local Authorities Negligent.
 'Dr Brumby will make it a state quarantine simply because the city authorities of the state will not en- force regulations to prevent the spread of the disease. Dr. Brumby cannot handle the situation without making it a quarantine. Right here in Fl Paso no effort has ever been made to enforce a single regulation to prevent the spread of the disease. Not even the splitting oTdinance has been enforced. And right there lies the greatest danger. Most every man and all women dislike to expectorate publicly, and consequently they, when absolutely necessary, clandestinely ex- pectorate up against wall, in a cor
 ner, or down beside them in a stree car. Thus the sputum, alive with tu- berculosis microbes is allowed to dry in the shade and be blown by the first breeze, or the shaking of a street car, into the mouths and lungs of healthy man. woman or child.
 It NOutG fIuCh DCllCf II NnC COn- sumptive would spit out into the street, for three days of sunshine would kill the microbes. So you can see how the negligence of the city officials of the cities makes it impera- tive that the state health officer must take hold of the situation.
 Refined Cruelty.
 After a poor devil has spent all his money trying to be cured fin the north. east and south, his doctor, to get rid of a funeral, sends the poor fellow out to Fl Paso or San Antonio to die, and many of them die as soon as they reach their destination, while the oth- CTS live a few months to be bur den on the charity of a Texas com munity. To send a man who is dying out on a hunt for health and life is refined cruelty. It does not prolong the sufferers life, but subjects him or her to a long. tiresome and painful journey. Ninety per cent of such vic tins of the white plague land in Fl Paso with not enough money to pay a weeks lodging and it would surprise you to know how many thousands of dollars the fraternal lodges of El Paso pay out every year taking care of such people.
 The Healthy Entitled to Protection.
 ''It may sound brutal to tell sick man he shall not enter the state when
Bisbee daily review., 1907-07-06

he believes he can find health and life here. But the healthy man, wo- man and child are entitled to some protection. The average citizen would not hesitate to use shotgun argument to stop a case of smallpox from enter ing a healthy community, and yet we all know that tuberculosis is con tagious and a hundred times more deadly than smallpox. I believe Dr. Brumby is right in his proposition to quarantine against consumption in its last stages, and there are very few if any of the cases coming to Texas that are not beyond the reach of climatic aid.
 Drawing the Line.
 ''Yes, I admit it will be a difficult matter to draw a line between the far advanced cases and any case of tu- berculosis. I believe they are all in- curable, for the reason that medical science has not yet discovered a way to reach the root of the disease. But even layman can point out a case that is beyond hope. If the quaran- tine is established it will have to have at least three assistants at this point
 Tt has not been settled, however, mat LlG QudfdUIlue VIII De SSLdDilSl- ed, but if it is Teras, and especially Fl Paso and San Antonio will owe debt of gratitude tc Dr. Brumby."
 Awaits States Decision.
 A Washington special says: NO official notification has as yet reached official circles in this city in regard to the possible action of the health officer of Texss as reported in the press dispatches in preventing con sumptiYes from entering the state. and no one in authority will at this time discuss the matter.
 Acting Surgeon General A. H. Glen nan of the marine hospital service, who has charge in the absence of Surgeon General Wymen, when asked about the matter today, said:
 The department cannot discuss the matter at this time for the reason that consumption is not a quarantin- able disease coming under our juris- diction If a fight is made it will be in the courts and we would probably not consider the matter at all until the courts had passed upon 1t. Il know of no precedent for a prohibit tive action of this kind on the part of any state so far as consumptives are concerned. The question there fore will be Interesting in event Tex as should put the threat into execu- tion.'"

TERRIBLE TERRY GETS SHOT
Notorious Cuthroat of Northwest Kill ed By Indignant Husband Whose
 Home He Forced.

BELLINGTON, Wash, July B. Jake Terry, known as Terrible Terry" ex-convict, smuggler, and train robber and fugitive from justice in the United States. was shot and killed by Al Lindley of Sumas, bor- der town, thirty miles north of here today. For years Terry terrorized the authorities and citizens of both sides of the line, committing many crimes and defying arrest. He was partner of Bill Miner, now serving life sentence for train robbery in British Columbia
 Eighteen months ago Terry entered LindIey's home and drove the men out at the point of a revolver, keeping Lindley's wife with him for several days, while fighting off a posse of officers. Later the sheriff arrested him and was forced to take the pris- oner across the border to protect him. Today as Lindley came home for lunch he found Terry inthe house and fired first. The shooting was witnessed by Mrs. Lindley.

STEPTOE BATTLE FIELD
Monument to Be Erected on
Historic Spot Next May.
Citizens of RosaIia Will Donate Four
Acres of Ground Upon Which
Last Action Took Place.

Eshter Reed Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, of Spokane. hav-
ing devoted themselves to the work of
marking historic spots in Eastern Wash
ington, have decided to begin their good
work by erecting monument on the
Steptoe battle field, three miles from
Rosalia. The Rosalia citizens will, in ad-
dition to their cash subscription, donate
four acres OF ground, included in which
Is the spot upon which the action took
place, and the citizens of the county will
be given an opportunity to assist in this
most worthy undertaking. The idea of
the ID. A. r. is that the amount shall be
raised by general subscription, small
amounts being acceptable as well as the
larger ones. In this battle, fought in
the midst OF what is now our beautiful
and productive county, two gallant Off
GERS and several brave soldiers fell, and
the place should be suitably marked.
Representatives of the Spokane d. A. R.
in company with men who took an active
part in the engagement, have visited the
place during the summer and have def
nitely located the point where the last
stand was made, and here the monument
will be placed. Committees have been
appointed in the various towns of the
county and it is hoped that by late fall
the work of collecting subscriptions will
have progressed sufficiently to give the
Spokane Chapter an idea OF the amount
OF funds they are to have at their com
mand. They wish to unveil the monu-
ment next May, on the 5Oth anniversary
of the battle.
Mrs. Ivan Chase, J. A. Perkins and |. r.
Harris are the Colfax committee ap-
pointed by the Spokane d. A. r., and
they are now formulating plans whereby
this subscription may be made general
in Colfax and adjacent country. In the
meantime any one who wishes to contri-
butte to this fund will find any member

r. r. Hutchison OF Endicott smiled
when shown a clipping from daily paper

The remarks above do not apply to

Sunday evening, where it did consider
able damage, but not to the extent con-
tanned in the published reports. The
storm started from Snake river, took a
northeasterly direction, passing through
Endicott and Steptoe, leaving Tekoa
slightly to the right and going into the
mountains of Idaho. Its width was be-
tween one and three miles, not plowing
swath 20 miles wide as published
Along its path considerable damage is
reported.
Like the frosts OF early spring, which
first reports stated had wiped out most
OF the fruit in the Inland Empire, proved
to have been only touched, so the late
rains, delaying work and annoying as it
has been, have not damaged the cereal
crops to any great extent. We speak
only OF existing conditions, not what the
future may have in store for Us.

COLFAX CITY ELECTION
Mandatory Provisions of the
New Primary Election Law
Primaries Held Two Weeks Prior to
Filed 80 Days Prior to That.

The city election in Colfax takes place
the Sd day Of December. 1t would seem
there was plenty Of time to prepare for
this on the part Of the citizens, and such
in fact il the case, but under the primary
law passed by the last legislature there
liz little time to lose. The attention Of
The Gazette has been call to the matter
and we propose to have few words to
say on the subject.
The primary election law should be in
the hands of every voter. Neat pamph-
let's of the law have been printed by the
public printer at Olympia, County Clerk
Todd having received large cOnsign-
ment to distribute to citizens here. Men
tiOn OF this was made in The Gazette
some time ago. The law provides that
"al candidates for elective offices in this
state, either state. county, municipal"
etc, "shall be nominated at a direct
primary election held in pursuance of
this act" Cities or towns OF the fourth
class are exempted from it's provisions.
Our city election, however, is included
and we must be governed accordingly.
The act states when primaries are to
be held 1t says that primaries for
the nomination of candidates to be voted
upon at municipal elections held during
1907 shall be held two weeks prior to
the date of said elections" This is man
datOry. 1t means in cur case that the
primaries shall be held November 10. As
the matter is practically settled at the
primaries it is Of prime Importance to
keep this date in mind.
Under the heading Of declaration OF
candidacy the act says "the name of no
candidate shall be printed upon an Off
cial ballot used at any primary election
unless at least 30 and not more than 60
days prior to such primary declaration
OF candidacy shall have been fled by
him." etc, then follows the form. Can
didates, therefore, must file their declara
tiOn Of intent not later than October
Is This gives the voter at least 30
lys to study the qualifications of can
didates before going to the primaries.
Those desiring to be candidates, or their
friends, should not neglect this matter.

Cereal Crops Not Damaged to
the Extent Published.
More Rain May Be Serious, but Out :
look Now Not Discouragins.
Loss From Delay.
CoIfax Grain Market.

"What damage has the heavy rains OF
the last two or three weeks done to
grain?" is a question frequently heard OF
late. To this question many answers
are given, usually with a qualifying
meaning, although occasionally man,
with a pessimistic turn of mind, is seen
to shake his head, as much as to say the
bottom has dropped out OF the clouds
and all the wheat, with many fond hopes,
have been washed away. The consensus
OF opinion, however, as near as can be
gathered by The Gazette, is that grain
has been little damaged at this writing,
and with good weather from now on the
farmers will reap rich returns from the
bountiful harvests.
1t is unfortunate that the daily press
has circulated such wide reports OF heavy
| damage done to crops, in some cases
| making the statement that the loss will
be so per cent, These statements we're
undoubtedly made on the spur of the
moment, without due consideration, for
certainly they are wide of the mark. The
Gazette has interviewed many wheat
raisers from almost every section of
Whitman county during the week, and
all agree, without single exception,
that the reports Of damage and loss have
been exaggerated. Several stated that,
in their opinion, the greatest loss has
been in delay, whereby large gangs of
men and many horses had to be fed, with
no adequate labor in return. In many
cases laborers have come to town, and,
failing to return, new help had to be
sought to take their places. Thus the
expenses of the farmer have gone right
along. which operates as loss owing to
enforced idleness.
People coming from Tennessee fat and
around Steptoe butte say title damage
has been done there. In The immediate
vicinity of Garfield and Pennington the
same good tidings is brought in. Be
tween COifax and PalOuse, along Spring
fiat, down Pleasant valley to St. John
and beyond, up Cottonwood valley by
SuUHtJ, lHOTuIOu anu odkesudle, dll say
the loss will be slight if the rain now
ceases.
w. J. Hamilton came in Wednesday
evening from his farm 10 miles south of
Colfax. He said the loss in his field of
wheat would not amount to more than
two or three bushels to the acre, and
that resulted more from the rain beating
the grain over so that the knives or
sickles failed to cut many heads than
anything else. He said grain in the
shock in his neighbOrhOod was not dam
aged in the least. "But," continued Mr..
Hamilton, 81 consider that more rain at
this time is likely to work great injury
and loss. My oats are bleached out con,
siderably by the persistent wet weather,
which will hurt the sale, but the quality

when such or compensation eX-
ceeds $1,000 annum an additional
sum, equal to one per cent on such ex-
cess, shall be charged. This means that
candidates for city clerk, city attorney,
treasurer, etc, shall deposit such fee, the
mayor and cOuncilmen drawing no
salaries. These fees shall be paid to
the respective clerks Of municipalities
and by them TO the respective treasurers
Of the same.
The law further provides for the politi
cal designation of candidates, but as
politics will not probably be injected in
to our municipal election that is some,
thing that will cause no concern. We re-
fer to the matter now so our people may
be alive to the fact that preliminaries
are to be encountered between now and
election day not heretofore imposed. The
primary election law places new RESPONSE
blities upon the voter, does away with
nominating conventions, leading up to
this in an orderly and systematic way.
1t is expected to work many reforms in
the hetterment of elections, but to be
effective should receive the careful atten-
tiOn Of every citizen.

NoRTHWEST MAGAZINE PARTY
Miss Perkins Represents Whitman

Co. Mrs. BramweIi Chaperone.
Miss Stella Perkins has been selected
to represent Whitman County in the
itinerary mapped out by the Pacific
Northwest Magazine of Portland;
furthermore, she also secured the right
to name the chaperone to accompany
the party Of young ladies on the trip,
and selected Mrs. Howard Bramwell OF
Colfax to perform this delicate as we'll as
pleasant duty. This came as a surprise
to Mrs. Bramwell, but she has concluded
to accept and will lead the party. Thus
Colfax and Whitman county will have
two enthusiastic representatives. As
previously stated in these columns, the
magazine pays all expenses OF the party,
the exact number we do not know at
present, but it will embrace representa-
tives from various parts OF Washington
and Oregon.
The September number of the maya
zine contains a four-page write,up,
beautifully illustrated, of Colfax and

along by the party and distributed at
divers points along the route.
Mrs. Bramwell and Miss Perkins start
on the 10th or 11th. We are not ac-
quainted at this writing of the itinerary
complete, but it embraces stops at New
York, Pittsburg, Niagara Falls, the
jamestown Exposition, Washington, d.
c., and most interesting OF all call on
the president of the United States. This
has been arranged for. Other places will
probably be visited, in all embracing an
itinerary of more than 5000 miles, afford
ing a rare opportunity to see the great
ness of our country. The young ladies
are expected to say many good things
OF the Pacific northwest, which goes with
out saying will be fulfilled. And the
swains back east may conclude to come
west and get mated.
