BUSINESS MEMS CANDIDATE
n. M. Boone Is an Ideal Man to
Send to Congress.

Voters Of the Third congressional dis
trict should vote for IL. Nj. Boone of

rience, and in every instance has "made
good" AS state senator from this
county in the Washington legislature he
is credited with having introduced and
carried through much Of the important
legislation that has redOunded to the
benefit of the state. He will carry with

tie Monument Site.

ROsalia is one Of the prosperous towns
in the prosperous Palouse country. 1t
is located in the extreme north end of
Whitman county, 30 miles from the
county seat. 1t fills a beautiful valley
through which flows Pine Creek, with
gentle rising slopes to undulating ridges
on either side, from the tops OF which
magnificent and extensive vistas stretch
in every direction. Beautiful homes, well
titled farms, abundant orchards, denote
q land Of peace and plenty. It is partic-
ularly gratifying at this time 20 look
over the landscape. The golden harvest
is about over, but the wealth of the land
is seen in numberlsss shocks of grain,
great piles of grain stacked in fields
awaiting shipment, and long strings Of
wagons hauling wheat to the nearest
warehouses. 1t is a sight to dispel the
shiverings of the pessimist, albeit he
sometimes is seen here.

proposals Of having clearing house in

Coserove's Smooth Workers.

SoSQTONG STn OOIn "OFkSFSs
S. &. CoegrOVe has some pretty smooth
men directing his campaign and they
that illustrates this characteristic The
p mrhet recites some attacks that the
Mead men have made on Mcbride, and
some OF the attacks that the Mcbride
men have made on Mead, thus getting
such attacks still further before the
public But Mr.. Cosgrove il described
az holding alOof from dark insnuations
or attacks on other candidates.
Believers in the direct primary
principlC-and they number most Of the
voters Of the state-ahOuld be careful in
exercising the second choice vote. There
viii perhaps be the inclination amorg
some to cast their second choice votes
for candidates they believe will have no
chance OF nomination, with the idea that
this may help out their first choice.
Such course il in conflict with the COM
mendabe effort OF the legislature to
place directly in the hands OF the people
the selection of their candidates for
office. 1t il within the range Of posi-
bilities that the second choice provision
will become operative on every state
office for which there are four or more
candidates, and if every republican casts
his vote conceientiously for the man
whom he believes will be an honest and
capable official, a strong ticket, and one
which every republican can support with
enthusiasm, is bound to be the result.
1t now looks as though Mead, Nc
Bride, CosgrOve and Atkinson will
practically divide about all Of the first
choice votes for governor. The others
will not be seriously in the running.

FOREMAN ENGAGES in
FIGHT WITH EMPLOYE

SEVERELY INJURED
Assailant Surrenders to the Police and
Is Confined to Cell PENDING
Outcome of Victims
Condition

John Robertson, foreman for the
contracting firm of c. w. Brashear &
Co., No. S07 New Depot street, sur
rendered himself at the central police
station last night, after having caused
serious injury to Leo Race, team
ster in his employ. Robertson was
booked on suspicion.
According to the story the foreman
related to the police, Race was in po-
lice court all day as a witness, and
returned to the barn on New Depot
street at about 4 o'clock drunk and
quarrelsome. He began ITO quarrel
with the foreman, and the two men
engaged in a scuffie in which Race
was thrown heavily to the ground, his
head striking rock embedded in
the floor of the barn.
Three hours later Race ran amuck
in the barn, driving all the men out
of the place with a piece of scantling.
He was overpowered and held in bed
until DIR. r. G.. Whitlock arrived, and
the surgeon ordered the injured man
taken to the Sisters hospital where
it was found he was suffering from
fissure fracture of the skull.
Race was operated on, but as the
surgeon said he could not tell the
outcome of the case for at least twen-
ty-four hours, Robertson was locked
up pending the doctors decision.
