NEED OF EXAMINATION
 FOR ALL ENGINEERS

We'll Known Engineer Writes in sup-
 port of Proposed Law.
 well known engineer writes the following argument In support of the ordinance before the City Council for the examination of engineers in charge of stationary engines.
 According to the best engineers pa- pers and the records of the insurance companies, every year there occurs In the United States between l.30o and 1.400 serious boiler accidents of which 300 to 400 are violent explosions.
 These accidents kill between 400 and 500 persons. injure 700 to 800 more and destroy more than half 2 million dollars worth of property. According out somewhere in the United States boiler exploding. Always with con siderable loss of property and usually with loss of life. distinction of killing more people by boiler accidents. in relation to the amount of power involved. than any other country in the world.
 What is to be done about it? A boiler does not have to explode. Every boiler which does explode, does 50 through faulty design. construction
 fl ia tSs, Gr of these faults are difficult of detection, even by trained engineer, and that disastrous explosions have occurred where liz eenses were in opsration, . but aside ,dd
 
 joint and faulty rivets most of them are due. to plain incompetence and .carelessness Is the public entitled to no consideration. to be safe guard in the matter? No one is free from the, menace. It is not always those who work in or live near industrial estab- lishments are threatened. Everybody who passes over the sidewalks of a city, who visits the office building or, department store. who goes to a hotel or a theatre. places his life in the hands of the engineer in the base ment.
 Have we not the right to know that they are fit and competent men?
 If the people really had their way, don't you think they would insist up- on 1t? The license law asked for will not burden the manufactures, but to the contrary will put him in line with the progress of the city and times.
 = The examining of engineers will not be along technical lines, but for the purpose of getting responsible men fin charge of every plant where steam boilers are in use.
 A great many states have state laws to this effect. The. largest and most prosperous manufacturing cities of America have this protection of life and property. and they do not seem ,tO have suffered as the records will show they have continued to prosper after years Of licensing engineers. .@

 From Infection.
 Routine business with much dis- cussion occupied the time of the regu- lar meeting of the County Board of Revenue at its session yesterday morning. large number of small bills were gone over and eutrorized paid by the Board.
 The proposed installation of iaun- dry in the new jail occupied the great CT part of the time spent in discussion by the Board. At previous meeting of the Board Messrs N. J. Greil and Horace Hood were appointed to make inquiries of manufacturers of laundry machinery with view to establishing a plant at the jail. This committee made a report to the Board yesterday morning, but after the discussion no definite action was taken. The mat ter will doubtless be brought to the attention of the Board at the next meeting.
 The new jail Is complete and most modern with the exception of .aun- dry. Jailer Pettus and Sheriff Hood have been exceedingly anxious that a laundry be placed in the basement of the jail in order that the prisoners may have no possible chance to be- come dirty. and infect their cell.

followed so closely upon one another
that before the hearers of Judge BOSt-
wick had wiped the tears of laughter
from their eyes, they were listening to
a tale of pathos which brought forth
tears of sympathy. The guarantee of
bank deposits, the tariff, the postal
savings bank, the publicity of cam
paign funds-every issue of the pres
ent campaign was touched upon by the
speaker, who by his manner of illus
tration with the use of humorous stories
was able to depict in a most compre-
hensive manner the various subjects
as had not been done previously in the
campaign.
One of the most noticeable features
of Saturday evenings rally was the
fact that those who occupied seats in
the Keylor Grand remained until the
last word had been said, whereas at
the republican demonstrations, but half
of the audience were in their seats at
the close of the meeting, the other half
having grown tired of the Wearisome
talk and left the building. Judge Bost-

the boom of cannon crackers, moved

James Clement Reid said:
But in our enthusiasm over our re-

loyal to the same, We are likely to
overlook the Importance of securing
men for local positions who are clean
men and above suspicion of being un-
der the domination of any special in

should be a large corporation or a
small class Of men whose business in
terests are antagonistic to the moral
welfare Of the community. The state

Whitman Stars
AT NOfre Dame

Two all-northwest tackles and for
several years star tackles on Whitman
college squad, are now playing football
with NOtre Dame at South Bend, Ind.
Ralph Dimmick, last years cap
tain at Whitman college and star
tackle of the squad, who has been
chosen twice for the all-northwest
team; George Philbrook captain of the
track team at Whitman last spring,
famous tackle of the football team, al
SO chosen for the northwest team, are
both members of the squad of the ia
nous NOtre Dame college in Indiana
Both men are making good easily
and all reports received from Notre
Dame are to the effect that both men
are putting up their old-style game
and in the games played at Ann Arbor
Mich, few weeks ago between Notre
Dame and the university of that state,
Dimmick played star ball
There is no doubt but that both men
will make good, and, in fact, would
make good on most any squad in the
middle west, or in the east either.

Prospects Bright

Lester Liyengood, member of last

university and in a recent letter to
friends here, he says: -
Things are dull here on account Of
the recent panic which hit this coun-
try hard. The campaign is livening
up and it looks pretty bright for the
democrats this time although it hurts
me to say so. Several of us republican
law men have been asked to work the
week before election in the interests

some real live politics.

the simple. straightforward manner of
his delivery, won, from the first, every
heart in the vast assemblage gathered
to do him honor.
IN appearance he is tall. rawb Oned
and almost awkward, but with an hon
est lock which marks him as man
among men; a man who cannot be con-
trclled by any clique or faction; a man
who stands head and shoulders abb We
his opponent. and who, while not of a
possessing appearance, has all the
stamina and energy in keeping with
his remarkable height and strong,
broad shoulders. When. in his talk, Mr..
Pattison referred to the gradually in
craesing debt of the state, and told in
what manner it should be reduced he
showed, at a word, that he was not
lacking in the methods of economic
government; and the mere fact that he
has, since his election as mayor of Col
fax, reduced the municipal debt at a
rate of $4,000 a year, without an in
crease in taxation, added to the pop
ularity of Honest John Pattison, the
Abe Lincoln of the Palouse."
In closing. the speaker delivered a
brief review of the campaign. saying
that no matter what the future has in
store for him, he will always. cherish
the remembrances Of the 1908 cam
paign. during which he met SO many
friends, and during which he had deliv-
cred more than SO addresses without

his brilliant and well drawn word

notwithstanding the fact that the
republicans, by means of a so-called
smoker" at their headquarters, en-
deavored to detract attention from the
democratic rally held in the Keylor
Grand. Saturday evening. at which
Mayor John Pattison, of Colfax, demo-
cratic candidate for governor, was the
principal speaker, one of the largest
audiences ever assembled here to listen
to a campaign orator followed the
street parade to the playhouse and
listen attentively to the issues dis
cussed. Never before in the history of
the city was such a welcome given an
Office seeker, and Mr.. Pattison had
ample reason to feel proud of the city
Of Walla Walla and its loyal and en-
thusastic democrats.
As the next governor of the Ever
green safe appeared upon the stage,
round after round of deafening ap-
plause greeted him, and for several
moments it was impossible for the

who has conducted more than so rail-
lies since the opening of the campaign
thanked his hearers for the reception
'ndered him, and said he felt proud
