victed and given light fines.
The provisions of the law are that
the county commissioners may grant
a license. providing it is for a place
more than mile from the city limits.
AS the fair grounds 1re but a short
distance from the limits of the city,
the law permitting liquor to be sold
outside of Incorporated towns cannot
be made to apply. and the trouble of
last year would have doubtless been
experienced again this season.
just what the effect upon the fair
will be cannot be told. but officers of
the association are of the opinion that
the crowds will be even larger than in
previous years.
For those who care to indulge In a
mild stimulant while playing the races
there will doubtless be all kinds of
Walla Walla's latest beverage-near
beer, but the only article to be ON
sale with more strength than the new

Thomas keh0e Dead

Thomas Kehoe, one Of the old and
well known pioneers of this county,
died at ST. Mary's hospital this morn
ing at o'clock, following a brief i'll
ness. Mr.. Kehoe was born in Dublin,
Ireland, and was 81 years of age. He
came to New Orleans when young
man. and worked there and in CinciE-
natl at his book binding trade, until
1870, when he crossed the plains with
the early immigrants and located in
California, working in the mines. Later
he enlisted and fought in the Indian
engagements in that state in the early
sixties.
In 1852 Mr.. Kehoe came to Walla
Walla and accepted the position OF
mail carrier from this city to the
Colville Indian reservation and to the
mining district in Idaho, being mum
bered among the first pioneers to as
sist in the settlement of the Walla
Walla valley.
Mr. KehOe has no relatives in the
west, but during his residence in Wal
la Walla he has endeared himself to a
large circle Of warm friends.
The funeral will be held tomorrow

CdnvdSSing County Returns TODAY

An Interpretation of the election
laws as made by Judge Brents of the
superior court yesterday, gave the
county canvassing board authority to
take UP immediate work in the can
vasS of election returns, and the board
is today comparing the books and MAX
ing complete tabulation of the returns
in the various precincts. But one
change was recorded this morning, and
that was in Hadley precinct, where
conservative politicians in the prose-
cutting attorney fight had allowed
Rupp 10 and Smith votes. The re-
turns canvassed this morning gave
Smith but two votes, while Rupp
polled IA, making a difference of 8
votes in favor of Rupp, who, according
to the unofficial count, was defeated oy
only IA votes.
Some misunderstanding.
Considerable misunderstanding re-
suited from the provision of the d1-
rect primary law regarding the time
of canvassing the votes, as it held that
the work should be done in accordance
with the general election laws, and the
general laws provide for the work be-
ing done not less than 10 days after

No Booze Will Be Sold
AT The County Fair This Year

Announcement was made this morn .
ing by Secretary Robert H. johnson.
Of the Walla Walla County Fair asso-
citation. that the board of directors
had decided that there should be no
intoxicating liquors sold at the fair
grounds during the week of the coun-
ty fair, October IL to II. The direc-
tors Of the association have had the
matter under consideration for some
time. and The announcement made this
morning was explained by the fact that
the action is in keeping with that Of
other associations of the west, prir-
cipally the Spokane Interstate fair.
The trouble which arose at the fair
grounds last year because of the sale
oe liquor by George Mottet has been
partially responsible for the action Of
the directors, as the arrest of Mottet
brought the matter prominently before
the public and it developed that there
was a number who were opposed to
the sale of intoxicants on the grounds

MedieOS Elect New Officers

Officers were nominated this morn
ing by the house of delegates and the
nominations later were confirmed by
the Washington State Medical asso-

for the coming year are: President,
C.. A. Smith, Seattle; first vice presl-
dent, Y. G. Blalock, Walla Walla; sec

terms of office. The three chosen for
this committee are: G.. H. Hood, OF

Some Warm Fights.
Although no definite information
could be obtained, it is understood
there was a hot fight in the house OF
delegates this morning when the NOM
place of meeting went to Seattle, as
had been decided by resolution last
year. This, many thought, was enough
for Seattle. but not so thought the Sei-
Athletics They wanted the president
and they started out to get him. Put
ting up a man whose name could not
be learned, they ran him against D. E.
Biggs, of Bellingham, on whom the
opposition combined. The OPPOSITION
also put up another man, DR.. A. G.
Smith, of Seattle, who had small fol-
lowing, and who is a man whom they
thought could be safely used to split
the vote. B.1t Seattle got next to the
game and instead of splitting on
Smith, united and elected him. The
fight is said to have been a bitter one
and it took nearly the whole morning
to decide the nomination.
This afternoon there are two more
fights expected The Medical Sentinel,
Of Portland, the medical journal of that
place, will probably ask for endorse
ment from the convention. So will the
Northwest Medicine, in all probability.
In case they do, there will be things
doing, as both papers are warmly
supported.
The other scrap is likely to come
when the ethics of the practice come
up. if they do come up. Some of the
more radical of the old school advo-
cate some stringent rulings regarding
osteopathy, some which will make the
rubbing profession squirm, it is said.
Others, more conservative, see good in
the new school and wish to tolerate it.
Whether or not these two points come
up cannot be stated definitely. as at 8
O'Clock the final session had not been
taken up.
Seattle will be the next meeting
place of the association and the date
has been set for July 25. At this time
the medical associations of Idaho, Ore

with the one from Washington, the

Stands Well a

COLFAX. Sept 11-(Special, 6 L
though many of the friends Of Mayor
John Pattison are sending him their
congratulations on his nomination on
the democratic ticket for governor, the
candidate is reluctant, to make any
statement in regard to the matter until
the count is fully settled. When seen
in Colfax this morning by a represen-
tative of the Statesman he stated that
the result of the election in Whitman
county alone had amply compensated
him for the race he had run. This
county, where Mayor Pattison has re-
sided for the party thirty years, cast
practically unanimous vote in his fa-
vor. Out of the 1O49 democratic bal
lots all but 36 were for Pattison on
either first or second choice. Ninety per
cent of the first choice votes were his
and SO per cent of the entire ballot in
cluding both first and second.
"This is an honor indeed" declared
the candidate this morning. ALREADY
the people of Whitman county have
repaid me for this race The tremend-
Gus vote 1 was given here seems re-
markable. 1 am unwilling to make any
statement regarding my plans as it is
still uncertain what the actual result
of the primary election will be. T will
say, however, that if final returns show
me to have been nominated, the DEM
ocrats of Washington will have no rea-
son to regret their choice. 1 shall
throw all of my energy into the fight
for governOrship and will enieavOr to
prove myself worthy Of the trust re-
posed in me-"
Mayor Pattison's remarkable run in
Whitman county is the talk of politi-
clans throughout the state. 1t is de-
clared phenomenal and without prece-
dent in Washington politics.
