INDIAN WAR VETS
HOLD MEETING

Members of James W. Nesmith Post
of Indian War Veterans met in Walla
Walla today for the purpose of con-
sidering matters of importance to the
members of the post.
Among other matters considered was
that of sending Albert G. Lloyd, OF
Waitsburg, to the city of Washington
during che coming session of congress
for the purpose of calling attention of
the members to merits of the claim of
the veterans to similar treatment at
the hands of congress, to that ac-
corded other old soldiers.
Mr.. Lloyd is perhaps one of the best
known representatives of the early
times in this vicinity. Although still
hale and hearty, he was one of the
volunteers which participated in the
campaigns against the Indians through
out the Walla Walla valley in '55
having participated in the fight with
the Indians near Frenchrown and al
other points in the valley.
A resolution was also passed re-
uuesting the Oregon and Washington
delegation to place all Indian war vet
Grams under the pension regulations
governing veterans of the civil war
and the secretary, John Rohn, was in
structed to forward copies of the resi-
lu:ion to the members of the Washing.

Consider Bylaws
And Constitution

At a ll-attended meeting of the
Commercial club held in the club
rooms yesterday evening, the recently
drawn up constitution and bylaws,
which have been the subject of much
consideration for the past several
weeks. were introduced, read by the
secretary and considered section by
section. so as to be satisfactory TO ali
concerned.
But one question regarding the new
laws was left undecided, and that was
in reference to dues, on which the
members present were about equally
divided between $3.50 per month and
n, increase in membership, and $500
per month and the present member
Shin. After considerable discussion
IN both sides, it was finally decided
tn postpone the settlement of the issue
until the next regular meeting, al
which time the constitution and BY
laws will probably come up for ma
adoption.
The decision to incorporate the cru.

IS Whitmdn'S Eleven GOin0
Up Against 'RingerS' Today!

This afternoon in Seattle the Whit
man college football team and the team
from the the university of Washington
are engaged in combat for the hOnors.
The local team left Thursday night for
the Sound city, and expect to make
an excellent showing, Notwithstanding
the fact that one of the best men on
last years team, PhilbrOok, has been
barred from entering the games this
year, owing to the four-year rules.
While Whitman is in good condition
having worked hard in training pre-
paratory to today's battle, reports from
the Sound indicate that the university
eleven is exceptionally strong, and
considerable discussion has been arOus-
ed as to whether two or three ring
ers" were on the lineup. Referring
to the utilization of the so-called
ringers" on the team, the Oregon
Journal asks:
HAS Coach Gilmore Dobie of ihe
university of Washington run in a

piOnship of the northwest?
IF not, then will the university of
Washington authorities explain how
they came to get Halfback Muckle-
stone and Tackle Eakens, two players
alleged to have been on the North Da-
kota Agricultural college team last
fall?
"Will Whitman college, Oregon Ag-
ricultural college, university of Ore
gon, Washington State college and the
University of Idaho stand for this vio-
Iation of the conference rule, when
thev themselves have lost so heavily
from it's injunction?"
The Journal then answers its own
questions by saying:
'.Footban followers all over Oregon
are much concerned at the action of the
university of Washington in trying TO
palm off two ineligible men on the five
other conference colleges in the north
west when they are reasonably sure
that they were star players on the

More Trouble For
Cigarette Dealers

Again things look bad for smokers
of the innocent looking cigarettes, for
a campaign to arrest all dealers who
dispose of them, has been started on
the west side of the state, and bids fair
to soon spread to this part of the
state. Since the Spokane court held
that the provision was constitutional,
dealers all over the state, who were
selling the "coftin nails openly have
reversed their tactics and the "sticks"
However, not only those who dispose
Of tailored" cigarettes are to come
under the ban, for warrants have been
issued on the west side for dealers
who have been selling the ''makings"
in defiance of the anti-cigarette law,
passed by the legislature in 1907. Three
warrants have been drawn by the
prosecuting attorney of Pierce county,
who announces that the arrests will
be made Immediately.
The law is explicit in forbidding the
sale of cigarettes and cigarette papers,
but nothing is said about the tobac
co, as it is evident if the necessary
ingredients and the finished article it
self are suppressed, there will not be
many cigarettes smoked. The penal
ties provided by the law are as fol-
lows: "A fine of from $40 to $50 for
the first offense and 800 to $500 for
the second offense'

have felt obliged to look up their rec

This is what they have determined:

name and picture are shown in the

Mucklestone's picture is not there is
not known. Probably he was injured
or unable TO be present when the Of

there are football followers in Port
land who know that ne was in the game
and that he was star player
when Dobie was engaged to coach
the university of Washington, Cutting,
his assistant at North Dakota Agricul-
tural college, was employed as an as
sistant. 1t is not strange, it is con-
tended, that Mucklestone and Eakens,
in view of the methods employed by So
many coaches in the smaller middle
western institutions where rules are
not in force, are with the Seattle
eleven
There is feeling here that both
men VIII be protested tomorrow by the
manager of the Whitman team. which
will meet the university of Washington
eleven in the first conference game Of
the season. Every other college in tn
conference will undoubtedly back up
the Missionaries if they protest Muck
lestone and Eakens.
Reports from Washington are to the
effect that Eakens Is punting at times
upwards of 70 yards, and his booting
shows that he is the equal of any punt
er in the northwest. The Dakota man
was punter of great repute, a green
freshman seldom shows such distance.
Mucklestone is said to be the best re-
reiver of the forward pass seen In
Washington in years. The North Da-
kota man was a great receiver OF
punts."

To change the words Cannon car

Standard Oil. Mr.. Sherman, in charge
of the bill on behalf of the house,
made an uncompromising fight for this
demand of the Standard Oil. So insist
ent was he that Senator Tillman, who
had charge of the bill in the senate,
refused to sign the conference report,
although in order that the bill might
pass with it's many favorable features.
Mr.. Tillman was obliged to accept the
bill after exposing in the senate the
Standard Oil provision. Mr. Tillman
called attention to the fact that the
that the change which Mr.. Sherman SO
vigorously fought for was in the in
terests of the Standard Oil company.
and that that concern hiding behind
many so-called independent oil COM
panies which it in fact controlled was
the source IF the demand for the elm
nation of pipe lines as common car

So skillful was Mr. Sherman's
manipulation of the Standard Oil pro-
vision that both house and senate were
forced to accept it in order that the
railroad rate bill might pass.
The entire matter is fully set forth
in the Congressional Record and
plainly shows the victory which Mr..
