BOOSTED SOME
WEAR BADGES
WHILE SIGHTSEEING ON THE
SOUND.

Walla Walla is largely represented at
Seattle this week. Members of the big
morning are beginning to return and
some amusing and interesting Incl
dents are related of the trip.
The train was half an hour late
leaving this city and when it began
losing time all along the line, Charles
Nosler Matched up scheme of making
a pool at % cents each, of everyone in
the parlOr car. each to have a guess as
to the time the train would reach Sc

from o'clock. the schedule time, to
1908 Saturday morning. Chief of PO-
lice Mike Davis guessed 9:10 and the
train got in at 9:12, thus doing the
Statesman representative out of the
money, his guess being 9:15.
At Lamar the thought struck Charlie
Buffum that the delegation had no
ribbons or distinguishing marks of any
kind SO he telegraphed ahead to North
Yakima and when the train reached
there it was met by boy who had
500 ribbons bearing the motto "Walla

sold at 10 cents each. SO being thus re-

At Seattle two of the young men
members of the delegation put up at
the Savoy. on Saturday night one of
them came home before the other and
asked for his key at the office and
found it was not there. He thought his
roommate was there so he went up.
The door was locked and he thought
his chum had taken the key with him.
SO re rang for the bell boy and the
pass key and had the door opened. The
room was bare Of his property but he
thought his friend might have had a
streak of enterprise and he went in. He
felt somewhat dirty after sliding over
the hills at Kfnnear Park so the first
thing he did was to step into the bath
room to get the water going. y femi-

he came in. The next night the two
could not find their baggage at all and
spent two hours chasing it around the
hotel. The naGt morning they took it t.
check room and disposed of it there.
The contest girls who went at the ex-
pense of the Union lost their manager
before they got started and had to g)
all alone. They worried some but he
showed up next morning all right and
they were happy once more.
The number of people who got the
wrong cars. who butted into harmless
looking places which were found to be
beer halls or worse places. and the like
amusing incidents, are almost without
number and many had the time of

A TOO MODEST PROGRAM

It really is no concern of ours what those republican national committee men may do who assemble here next Friday in response to Vice Chairman Haggotts call, to take action regard ing the delegation from Arizona to the National Republican convention We would suggest though, that if the com mitteemen have any time left after taking action" they also dispose of the Congo Free State affair which has proved to be more or less of a puzzle. We are informed that con- gress is going to adjourn without en- acting any currency legislation, leav- ing the whole thing hanging in the air It would only occupy a minute of the committeemen's time to take action" on that.
 The surprising thing about the call is that it confines the meeting to action on the Arizona delegation" when there are so many sublunary things that need attention. There are even many other things in connection with the national convention that will remain perplexing problems up to and including June 16, unless the commit teemen should solve them next Fri day. There, for instance, are all those southern state contests to be decided Why should not the committeeman, sitting as a national conventions. ere dentials committee decide them along with the Arizona contests. Why not do every thing that the national con- ventional has been called together to do and relieve the suspense of the country nearly a month in advance? Why, for instance, should not the committeeman make the nomination for the presidency and appoint the new national committee, with Hon. Hoval A Smith, committeeman for Arizona?
 The program as it has been briefly outlined in the call is not half ann bilious enough.
 We trust that when the committee men have taken action the world will let it go at that; that the three tailors of Tooley street." or the execu- tive committee of the Bootblack's union will not subsequently, meet to take action" and upset the work of MT. Haggott's committeeman.

VARIED PRODUCTS
 OF M0HAVE MINt
1t is a eBautifuI Project But the King
 man People Say it is Too Ethereal.

Mohave county seems to be harbor- ing another mining fake, or attempted fake, but it will no doubt be short-liv- ed if the residents of the county speak out as openly and as vigorously in the matter as does the Mohave County Miner of Kingman. which says:
 ''Dr. J. w. Williamson, author of the Windy Point mine, at Mineral Park. arrived from Los Angeles last night on his way to the property. Dr. Will Hanson is the man that the Los An geles Times has been showing up in an unenviable light on account of his attempted promotion of this property. The prospectus and statements sent out by the doctor are so absurd that none but the rankest suckers would think of biting at them. The allega- ton is made that the ores from the mine run 1866 ounces silver and 3.4 ounces gold per ton, which he sizes up at a total of $40663, and that six men can take from the mine at the present time 4725 pounds of this ore daily. val ued at $95S.73, at a cost of mining. milling and treatment of but s62 leav- ing net profit of $S96.73 daily from the labor of these six men. But that is not all: The doctor by this wonder ful method of his is also to make from this same ore 146O ponds of steel, su- perior to the best Swedish product, which will have an average value of from 30 cents per pound to one dollar
Arizona republican., 1908-05-20

per pound, or value of $43S ;and also, Portland cement, 21 barrels, valued at $3 per barrel, a total of $63; and still again, the saving of sulphur, ST, which makes a grand total of by-product value of $540, or a total from this APPS pounds of Windy Point ore of $1436.73. If the doctor could make any more out of this ore he surely would have said so in his prospectus, but it appears that this was the limit. But he con- tinues to explain in this wonderful prospectus and to elucidate as fol- lows:
 "Let us consider for a moment the values contained in the Windy Point mine This is a valuable proposition in itself, and in six months time the property can be so developed that the daily output will be somewhere about s19,0OO, which will equal profit of 100 per cent on a capitalization of $5,- 000, 900 annually on the mine alone. or s1O per share on the S500,000 shares, par value s1 each
 "The doctor is displaying to the peo- pie of Kingman a letter written by Anson H. Smith to one of his corres- pondents at Santa Monica, California, in answer to a query regarding this promotion that it was a rank fraud No one can read this prospectus with out agreeing with this statement.

IT IS NOT SURPRISING.

Those who have been following the proceedings of congress for the last three months are not surprised at the announcement that the session will adjourn without any currency legisla- tion.
 Even longer than three months ago that was evident. The opposition to the Aldrich bill which sprang up all over the country settled the fate of that measure and it was clear that the senate would consider no other measure which was widely different from the Aldrich bill so that when the Vreeland bill was passed by the house last week, not a member could have entertained the slightest hope that it would go farther than to conference.
 The public was apathetic regarding it, and it was feared that the effect of such legislation would be disturbing rather than beneficial
 The Fowler currency feasure was perhaps regarded more favorably by business men than any of the other proposed plans, but at the outset it met with the opposition of the presi- dent, the speaker of the house and that of the senate.

 This title was conferred by Presi- dent Roosevelt, when he was a police commissioner in New York, on The" Allen a notorious character who died a few days ago. Allen had an extra ordinary career. He was the son of a Methodist clergyman, one of a large family, all of whom, with one other exception, were respectable members of society. He started in life as a divekeeper, but during all his later years he was engaged in the poolroom business. His place was repeatedly raided by the police and this led him to construct defenses of steel doors and barred windows that would re- sist the axes of the raiders. The pe- riodical raids on these fortresses then became one of the spectacular sights of the metropolis. Allen showed the stock of which he came by living an
