FOURELECTvE MEASURES PEOPLE

Until our state constitution is
amended no better system can be
adopted. This amendment is not in
tended to provide a system, but If it
is approved, the voters Of the state

The Huntley bill for a law for pur-

corrupt practices, is patterned after
the very successful British laws of
1883 and 1895 for the same purpose.

Congressional Committee Hears Pc

States.

ADn8IcSSlOllhl OOmnittcP Hears Ie-
titions of Men From Southern
States. g..
Washington, Jan. 31.-Pleading for
the preservation of southern forests
prominent men from eight southern
states appeared today at hearing
held by the congressional comm ssion
on agriculture. The purpose of the
gathering is to urge congress to pass
the bill designed to preserve the for
ests of Dixie. Governor Hoke Smith,
of Georgia, and other distinguished
men of the south have interested
themselves in the matter and will use
their influence to secure the passage
of the act.
The congressional hearing comm t
tee consists of 100 members. 20 from
each of the eight states interested.
Scores of others interested in the
matter are also here. The hearing
began this morning at 10 o'clock and
will be continued tomorrow. A great
mass of statistics regarding southern
forests has been compiled and laid
before the committee.

Child May Have Been Murdered.

In a rough wooden box partly un-
covered by the elements near the top
of small hill near Selah Springs,
August Disler, a prospector, has
found the body Of a white girl child,
with a broad blue ribbon tied tightly
the matter to Coroner Frank. who
will investigate.
Distler also gave the doctor a piece
of the blue ribbon and tests made
show that the stains upon it undoubt-
edly are those of human blood.
The place where the roughly con-
structed coffin was found is seven or
eight miles from any habitation and
the discovery undoubtedly suggests
the idea that the child was killed and
her body carried to the hills and
buried in the box
When Distler found the box it was
half exposed to the elements and
broken open, presumably through
the moving Of the sand on the hill
side and the body was thus exposed
to atmospheric action. Although
badly decomposed, however, the
body, according to Distler, is still in
a condition which will enable the cor
oner to determine accurately in re-
gard to the cause of death and this
proves that the child cannot have
been dead more than month or two.
DR.. Frank states that unless, af-
ter examination, he is satisfied that
the child died from natural causes, he

pisposlna Of the Baby.

Little Freddy was the only child In
the family. He had no little sisters or
brothers to play with him, so when
he was told that baby sister had
come, he was very happy. But he soon
found that father and mother did not
pay so much attention to him as they
formerly had, and that baby seemed
to be, considered of more account
than he. This worried Freddy; but he
suddenly thought of something which
would help him out of his trouble
Some weeks before his father had put

BIGGEST WEST TO EAST WALK
EVER ACCOMPLISHED.
Win Fifteen Hundred Dollars.


Over mountains and through snow.
through wet, slush and mud, freezing
at times, and oppressed by heat at
others, William jackson and n. T. Hay.
two sturdy Scotchmen, walked every
mile Of the way from Seattle to Chi
cago, Just arriving within few hours
OF the time limit, thereby winning q
purse of Fifteen Hundred Dollars given
by the Seattle Athletic Club. for ac-
complishing this feat within the pre-
scribed time.
Jackson and Hay left Seattle with
but Five Dollars in money, were
obliged to earn their way as they
went and leave no unpaid bills. and
complete the journey In ninety days.
An interesting incident In connec-
ton with the walk, was that each Of
the contestants wore a pair or the
welEknown Mayer shoes, that neither
ripped nor lost stitch during the en-
tire trip of 2450 miles-the hardest test
any shoes could be put to--speaking
volumes for the extraordinary wearing
qualities of the shoes manufactured by
