HOPE TO STOP LIQUOR SALE

WASHINGTON, July ~2s.-(Special Tele-
gram. ~)-several years ago Father sehell.
Catholic missionary, made a crusade against
those residing about the Winnebago reser-
walton In Nebraska, who were selling
whisky to Indians, and he succeeded after
months OF toll In practically stamping out
the evil.
The bootleggers, so called, were prac-
tically put out OF business and In reality
the sale OF liquor to Winnebagos came to
a %standstill. At that time The Bee CO.
operated with Father Schell In his work
and through the efforts thus made, with
the hearty support Of the Indian bureau,
the sale Of intoxicating liquors was reduced
to a minimum.
However. the willy dealers in intoxicants
now have a strang new liquor, which they
are said to be selling to Indians, which
costs less than whisky or other intoxicants
and which makes a drunk" com more
quickly. This new liquor is made from
"mescal buttons" the flower of a plant be-
longing to the cactus family. The drink is
strongly intoxicating and is INDUCED in to
an alarming extent by the Indians Of the
Winnebagos in Nebraska and Wisconsin.
Worse than the intoxicating qualities OF
"mescal buttons the fluid leads to insanity
of violent form and saps the vitality OF the
Indian ard soon makes him a hopeless
imbecile.
The matter OF the sale Of this new thigh
ball' Of mescal button concoctlon has been
called to the attention of the Indian bureau
and is now being Investigated. In fact.
the Indian bureau has requested Prof.
Wiley, chief chemist OF the Agricultural
department. to send one Of his experts to
Thurston county to make a thorough in
vestigation of the conditions as reported.

SAY WATER FAMINE
IS DUE TO IGNORANCE

Water power men claim today
that a whole week has been lost
at the pumping station in waiting
for lignum vitae step for one of
the wheels when an oak step could
have been turned out here and put
in position in a few hours.
1t is claimed that oak Is used
for w. w. P. Co. water wheels,
which are three times as large as
those used by the city.
The breaking of the step, which
is block Of hard wood upon
which the end Of the wheel shaft
rests, is held largely responsible
for the prevailing water scarcity.
The water department sent away
for one and has been waiting for
1t for more than week. KnOwl
edge of water power, 1t is stated,
would have obviated this delay by
making use OF oak, at least until
the lignum vitae ordered arrived.

WILL
ANSWER Him

NEW YORK, Aug. Norman
e. Mack, manager of the demo-
cratic national campaign, today re-
ceived word from Bryan that he
will reply to circulars issued by
J. c. Van Cleve, president Of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, asking members Of that or
ganization and their friends 70
take the hide off Bryan In the
coming election and nail it to the
fence for all times"
Bryan's reply will be published
next Friday in the Commoner and
contains 1000 words.
Van Cleve says the onslaught
upon Bryan was caused by the
Commoner's support of the anti
Injunction plank, which was incor-
porated in the platform against
the wishes and strongest argu-
ments of Van Cleve and associates.
Mack said today certain mem
bers of the association had assured
Bryan of their support.
LINCOLN, Aug. bryan to-
day confirmed the report that he
will reply to Van Cleve's circular.
Bryan's speech Of acceptance is be-
ing Transcribed today and will
soon be in completed form.

Just what the final agreement

swer Fred Baldwin this morning
said that he did not know how
matters would terminate.
Heretofore the city bridge COM
mittee has raped for admission
into the innermost sanctums Of the
capitalists with please may we
come in" look on their faces. The
capitalists now, however, come
down to the city hall at the re-
quest of the bridge committee.
There seems to be a working I'M
derstanding of some sort estao-
lished.
Baldwins bait of an installment
plan of payment is probably re-
sponsible for this. 1t holds out the
prospect that the companies will
be given their own time and terms.
If a franchise should expire or be
forfeited naturally the payment on
that particular bridge would
cease.
Naturally also the terms would
be fixed so favorably If the COM
pany had it's way that a minimum
of expense to the company will be
paid out within the life of a fran
chise.
The Baldwin compromise plan
means that the city will build the
bridges and provide for payment
on such terms as 1t may be able
to obtain, while the company will
undoubtedly pay when and as it
pleases.
The businesslike way would
seem to correctly fix the cost in
each instance, apportion it to the
public's best interest with due re-
gard for the companies actual
rights, build the bridges and pay
for them out of the joint fund.
The public can use the bridges
without streetcar tracks. The
companies cannot handle across
town traffic without bridges. The
streetcar crossings benefit the
public. They make fortunes for
the streetcar companies. The peo-
pie eventually pay the entire bill
under any arrangement in return
for transportation.
II would seem equitable enough
to conclude that the public and
the companies are equally bene-
fitted On that basis fair deal
would be that each pay half the
cost of new bridges. There should
be no compromise on that.
But there will be, and an ex-
ceedingly advantageous one to the
companies, II the public will stand
for 1t, doubtless.
Meanwhile the question of
whether the public shall have safe
bridges to cross the river drags
its weary length along corpora
ton and cOuncilmanic ceremony
framed not on what the public has
tthe right to demand, but upon
what the corporations are willing
to grant, 1t will all appear in the
records of the times, however.

ITO h with the ethics and.let's

Prosecuting Attorney Fred Pugh's
reply to Judge George Turner's
criticisms of his actions in wiring
ing confessions from criminals.
Judge Turner in a published
statement charged Pugh with
perverted sense of duty, an ignor-
ance of the constitutional rights
of accused persons and low stan
dard of professional ethics.
Before replying to the learned
jurist, Mr.. Pugh said that gentle
man is working in the interests
of a rival candidate for the office
of prosecuting attorney, but does
not say whom.
Continuing he says:
at is better to CLEAN a confess
sion from guilty man than to put
the county to the expense of a
trial and either securing convic.
ton or allowing a man to go free
when the confession would have
convicted him. The so-called
sweating does no harm to an in

ty a lot of expense where a man

ENAKOPS START
BIG SHOW

The Enakops were out on the
warpath last night and everything
that looked like a prospective vic
time was roped willy nilly and
hauled off to Masonic tempe.
There was some fighting and foot
racing, but the evenings cleanup
yielded big bunch of neophytes.
They were initiated with proper
ceremony as an Introductory to the
Booster carnival which rules Nata-
forum park next week. @
Little may be told of the process
of an Enakops initiation. Men may
read of horrors and live, but wom-
en- and children must ever be
spared the tortures of extremities.
One of the novitiates was Bob
Fitzsimmons. who weakly inquired
once If Jeffries had hit him again
or was it Walker with the milk
bottle. When Bob was revived
after the count he came to singing
The Star Spangled Banner. The
Elks quartet was EMBODIED in the
band without damage to their
voices. Frank Sweeny vainly tried
to run away and Irwin Scott did
escape after a hard fight.
The Enakops will open the car
nival Monday evening at o'clock
with parade more terrific than
ever, starting from the Enakops'
park headquarters. All the recon-
mendation the weeks celebration
needs is mention of the Enakops
in connection with 1t.

dent of Spokane, are beginning to
wonder why the department does
not proceed with enlargement OF
the underground flow and put In
more pumps.
AS the present well has proved
entirely adequate to the full de-
mands Of the pumps while the de-
partment could keep them work
ing, 1t Is reasoned that another
well and twice as many pumps as
are now in operation (when they
are in operationl, would double the
available supply and care for all
emergencies.
The experimental well stood the
drain of the full pumping force
without a sign Of failing and there
was no complaint Of water short
age either nor danger Of It until
the pumping machinery was allow

Another well and outfit would
cost about as much as the prelim-
