Sisson was woman of strong Chris

Tonlght's Caucus.

There seems to be something of a
ferment In the air over the Republi-

Senator Irving e. Gibson Is leading
a canvass In behalf of Hon. Zed. S.

to have no head but are fairly strong

Proctor than for both the Others and
IL there Is a scrap at tonight's caucus
a resolution Will be offered directing
the delegation to do all In its power
to secure the denomination of Proctor
The caucus will be held at S:15
sharp in Foresters hall. Up to this
morning 1t was expected that the
Stanton men would have no opposl-
ton In electing a straight Stanton
ticket and 1t may turn out that way in
the end though SO much has been
stirred up now that there Is likely to
be large caucus and nobody can tell
what may happen.
The circulation Of the circular
which Is reprinted In another column

to the interest and will increase the

There have been two cases OF typ

this spring which have puzzled the
physicians and health officer. They
have had the water supply and milk
supply tested at the state laboratory
and both are found to be perfect and
above reproach. 1t Is thought by
Health officer Stlllson that the cases
may have come from children in pic
mic parties drinking impure water
supply and parents and teachers are
urged when they take children out
on these summer excursions to make
sure that they drink nothing but pure
water.

William Maxwell, who, it is alleged,

Idaho, on the Potlatch Lumber Co.,

but cashed them at as many different
saloons at Palouse, thus bringing the
crime within this county, is charged by

der false pretenses, and will have to

means from one to five years on each
count. Maxwell says he bought the
checks. He is man little past the 80
mark, of pleasant address, said to be a
graduate of Harvard University, but
none the less is a high roller, a cigarette
fiend and blows in all he can get in
saloons. The result is not hard to
guess. He spends his time in jail un-
cOncernedly, not even being averse to
talking with newspaper men. He has

Imposes Hard ship.

Postmaster Ewart desires to call at
tention to the practice OF some patrons
of the rural delivery of placing loose
coins in their boxes each time they de-
sire to dispatch letters instead OF sup
plying themselves with postage in ad
vance Of their needs. This practice i'm
poses undue hardship on rural carriers
in removing the loose coins from boxes
and delays them on the ssrvice of their
routes. The postmaster, therefore, ur-
gently requests that patrons of rural
delivery provide themselves and keep on
hand supply of stamps consistent with
and in advance Of their needs. 1t ie
also very desirable that rural patrons
place in their mail boxes small detach-
able cups of wood or tin in which tC
place coins, when necessary, in purchas
ing supplies of stamps.

increases, until one native, who came in
from the hills Wednesday morning, de
clares he saw 20 the night before. A
representative OF The Gazette, who heard
the tale, failed to ask the brand he had
with him, but gulped down the whole
story (not the brandy. There is un
dOubtedly more than one cougar. 1t
seems to be the concensus Of opinion
that it is female with family of hal
grown kittens.
Henry Boggs says he saw the cougar
Tuesday night on the James Seagle
place, four miles from Elberton. He
declares there are 20 of the feines.

THE ESTEPT0E MONUMENT
Proposal to Raise More Money
Build Massive Pedestal.
Why Not Dedicate Battle Ground
5Oth Anniversary, Collecting
More Money for Monument?

F. NJ. Campbell. j. f. Kennedy and NJ
FL. West, comprising the Rosalia com
mittee assisting Esther Reed Chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolution,
of Spokane, in the movement to erect q
monument On the Steptoe battlefield,
near ROsalia, were in town Tuesday to
meet with the COlfax members of the
monument committee, and incidentally
to see the county commissioners, who
are in session this week. The commits

trusteeship of the SteptOe Battlefield
Monument. This gives added RESPONSE
more properly stated, official recognition
of a movement that is or should be of
Importance to every resident Of the
state.
The Steptoe battle was an historic
event, taking place so years ago this
coming May. 1t is the purpose to erect
a monument on the spot where the last
stand was made with the Indians, to be
dedicated on this coming 5Oth anniver-
sary. Several hundred dollars have
been raised, the people of the Inland
Empire responding literally considering
the brief time since the movement was
inaugurated. But The Gazette would
suggest, subject to the approval of the
society that originated the idea and has
carried it forward, that a broader and
more comprehensive plan be adopted. 1t
is this: Instead of now erecting a
monument commemOrating so import
ant an event, why not dedicate the ground

on this 5Oth anniversary, pOstpOning

citizens of the nation? The legislature

LOST VALUABLE DOG.
Gets Hold of Poisoned Meat Out
After Cougar.

Arthur Howe, s. NJ. Strickler and Jake
Arrasmith formed a striO that started
out last Monday to capture that noun
tain lion. Their point of attack was
four miles east Of town, near the ARA
smith homestead. Mr.. Howe had lust
received from Rainier, burg on the
west side of the mountains, a valuable
hunting dog, for which he paid 500.
This dog was taken along to assist in
the capture of the cougar or mountain
lion. To make long story short this
valuable dog got hold of a piece of
poisoned meat almost as soon as turned
loose and died in a short time 1t is the
belief that poisoned meat was put out
for the benefit of the big cat, but in
stead the dog got hold OF piece. Every
effort was made to save the life Of the
animal, Mr.. Howe carrying him in his
arms TO stream where he could get
water, but without avail Without a
dog the party stood little chance OF 10
eating the wild beast, so returned to
their homes.

How Seattle Was Worked. i.

This sounded plausible. From the
Seattle Times we learn that the pro-
moters in that city have made the first
applications to the courts and have thus
carried out the deal sufficiently to put
themselves beyond the possibility of any
legal action for the recovery OF any
money advanced. According to men
versed in land rulings there is no chance
for the purchases to be completed as the
original grant contains no such clause
as advertised by the promoters. 1t is
also true that in making the application
to the court and paying the small fee
needful the promoters carry out all de-
manded of them by law and the rest oi
their percentage of the advance money
is clear profit.
AS showing the crookedness OF the
work we take this sample from the
Times article: "H, R Baylie, real es-
tate dealer in the Washington building,
said that he was approached last spring
by Charles O. Coulter, who, acting as
agent for G. Leavengood of Roseburg,
wanted Bayls to solicit applications
in Seattle. Baylis says that Coulter
told him it was good thing and that

persons filing on the Oregon & California
Railroad Company's lands would, with

1t develops that Ike Williams of Gar
