CASE & ESCABACH ARE
ASSEMBLING FORCES
Construction Work Will be Started
Again In the Fall According to
Announcement.

Construction work on the North
Coast railroad in central Washington
will be started again this fall, and
word has been received by Contrac-
tors Case & Eschbach to hold them
selves in readiness to place a large
force to work in this section. With
this advice from President Strahorn
the contractors are assembling their
forces and will soon be ready to
handle an immense piece of work
which they expect will be assigned to
them.
Activity in North Coast matters is
increasing all along the line. There
are many engineering parties in the
field, apparently placing the finishing
touches on the surveys; right-of-way
men have been active along the main
lines and at the terminals, the rights
into Spokane have been purchased
and announced. and the company Il
now seeking a short extension Of
time for its work in North Yakima.
This will certainly be granted under
the conditions.
The North Yakima contractors are
unable to state in what section their
work will be, but it is presumed that
the contract will be for sections of
the line near North Yakima There
&c Il ~ hafx
Granger and the Naches gap, and this
can be handled and connect North
Yakima with the grades already es-
tablished from Granger to a point
near Kiona, where the line branches
to Spokane and to Walla Walla.

CONTRACTORS PREPARE
FOR THE NORTH COAST

the lineup by the, addition of Hahn
as pitcher and Moffat as catcher. One
or two other new faces are promised
which will add material strength 70
the team. These two teams with Ell
lensburg and North Yakima are very
evenly matched, and all capable Of
putting up a contest that will be in
teresting to the fans.
1t is now proposed to form a four
team league, comprised of the above
named clubs, and arrange schedule
of games. Should this be brought
about, and we are informed that ar
rangements are now under way and
will in all probability eliminate salts
-factorily, North Yakima fans will
see some close and interesting games
before the season ends.
The Tigers show marked improve
ment in their playing since their trip
to the sound country, this being par
ticularly noticeable in their ability to
take advantage of every opportunity
in base running, a feature of the
game that is only acquired by prac-
tice. They are in shape at present
to give good account of themselves
with any of the amateur teams of the
northwest.

GREAT FOREST FIRE
RAGING NEAR kACHES
MUST FILE soon.
Auditor Croker Will Not Receive
Declarations After )
O'clock.

With A candidates already in the
field for Yakima county offices, The
date for final filing of nomination dec
larations is near, for Auditor Croker
has announced that he will accept II }
filings after ) o'clock on Saturday
evening They must be in his hands
at that hour, whether brought in per
son to the court house or filed by
mail.
There are prospects of two addi-
tional candidates on the Republican
ticket, one more for sheriff and an
other for assessor. Neither of the
prospective candidates has definitely
decided to file, however. In both
cases there is no competition for the
nomination so far, Joe Lancaster be-
ing the only one seeking the place OF
sheriff on the ticket and Assessor
Sindall being the one candidate for
that job.
Whether the Democrats will fill up
their ticket as promise is a question.
The Bryan-Splawn club will have no
meeting until after the primaries and
the members of the party seem to lie
letting the places 80 by default with
entries only for representative, sher-
if, prosecuting attorney and first dis
trict commissioner.

they are not Republican papers, that's

the advice Of Democratic paperss AZ

Times will support the Republican

state. This infamous bartering and
trafficking in public Office brought
about resolution on the part of the
people to do away with these prac-
tees; to do away with that contest
that has delayed needed legislative
action in this state for weeks while
the choice Of United States senator
has been in the balance, and bring it
about that they themselves should
elect candidate for the United
States senate
1.-The state legislature is not COM
PEELED to elect the man whose name
is certified to it. Our legislature
could not pass law compelling it's
members to do it because that would
be contrary to the constitution of the
United States. The action of the
people is simply advisory.

Il have taken the position that the
man who comes before the people
asking them to elect him to the legis-
lature should be prepared to say. 4

or are YOU for Ankeny?' but Are YOU
for the people,
q proposed to Senator Aneny, a
short time ago not to make an agree
ment or TO make a compact with me-
as you may have heard, but | pro-
posed to Senator Ankeny that we

that the man who does not receive the
/ Endorsement of the people at the fall
primaries shall not go before the leg

States senate. Is not that just? Is
not that honest? Is not that fair?
defy any man to show where Sena-
tor Ankeny has agreed, If he is not
the choice of the people, that he Will
not dicker with the legislature to get
their vote.
/ There is no doubt about the atti-
tude of Senator Piles. He SAYS The

JONES ASKS ABOUT
POLITICAL AGREEMENTS

KENT, Wash, Aug, 4. Congress
man Wesley l.. Jones spoke to an
audience of AS persons here, dealing
with questions of the senatorial con-
test. Mr.. Jones termed the campaign
for the fall primaries "a fight in the
ranks of the Republican party" and
his audience give it close attention,
as it would give them an idea of
what we'll do to you after the Sth
of September" The hall was filled,
and the speaker was received with
enthusiasm.
Il appreciate the organization of
Jones club in Kent" said Mr.. Jones,
after President w. T. Shinn of the
local organization of Jones boosters
had introduced him, Especially since
it is an organization of King county
voters because l know that a special
oppose my candidacy.
THE Republican contest of Sep
TENDER S will inaugurate new policy
in reference to selecting candidates
for Office" he continued. "Our peo-
pie are preparing to themselves nomi-
nate men to be elected to positions Of
public trust. ! believe that hereto
fore almost without exception we
have secured good men for public Of
flee. People, however, have felt dis
satisfaction at the workings of the
old system. The great fault of the
convention system has been the
trafficking in public office by repre-
sentatives of the people. To remedy
this coalition we have secured the
passage of the direct primary Law.
which gives the people the direct
choice of the men whom they wish TO
fill public office.
Is Il Popular Demand.
People are demanding the cleo
ton of United States senators by the
people Several times there has been
a popular demand for this from peo-
pie of various parties, but this has
never been secured because of the OPP
position from all political parties in
all sections of the country. The diff
Guilty has been in amending the con-
stitution of the United States. Since
the close of the civil war there has
been no amendment TO the constitu-
ton of the United States, save the
amendments which were the direct
outgrowth of that struggle. How
ever. the people have seen how they
may indirectly secure this privilege of
themselves selecting United States
senators by means of the direct pri-
mary and laws have been enacted re-
Gently in various states of the coun-
try.
THE conditions incident to the Sc
lection of a United States senator
from this state have not been of the
very best. The influence of every
contest went far beyond the election
of a United States senator. 1t az

THREE KILLED
In a Fight i'm a Lumber
Camp.

Three men were killed and a
fourth mor.ally wounded as the
result of a battle with revolvers
following a quarrel in the lumber
camp of Coagleton & Williams
Bros, on Rose Fork creek, near
Evelyn, Lee county.
John Hamilton, James Bowles,
Richard Spicer and George Fra
zier had been working together
all day last Friday with about 20
other men, hauling lumber and
slaves. The children of Bowles
and Frazier had fallen out with
those of Spicer and Hamilton.
The men quarreled over the mat
ter all day as they worked.
When evening came Spicer went
to feed his stock. Bowles and
Frazier came up to his barn and
renewed the quarrel. Spicer is
reported to have urged that there
be no continuation of the matter.
Hamilton came up shortly after
the arrival of Bowles and Frazier
and took the part Of Spicer.
The argument grew more heated
and Bowles whipped out re
volver and began firing. He killed
Hamilton instantly and shot Spi-
Ger in the leg. By this time Spi-
Ger had out his revolver and was
firing at Bowles when Frazier
joined in the shooting. When the
smoke cleared away it was found
that Spicer was dead, with two
bullets in his chest, and Bowles
had been killed with ball through
the heart.
George Frazier was arrested
and lodged in Jail at Beattyville
Saturday and on Monday was
taken before County Judge Sut-
ton. He waived examination and
was held without bail to await the
action of the grand Jury.
